2:1

I will stand
<05975> (8799)

upon my watch
<04931>_,

and set
<03320> (8691)

me upon the tower
<04692>_,

and will watch
<06822> (8762)

to see
<07200> (8800)

what he will say
<01696> (8762)

unto me, and what I shall answer
<07725> (8686)

when I am reproved
<08433>_.

{tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when...: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing}

2:2

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

me, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Write
<03789> (8798)

the vision
<02377>_,

and make [it] plain
<0874> (8761)

upon tables
<03871>_,

that he may run
<07323> (8799)

that readeth
<07121> (8802)

it.

2:3

For the vision
<02377>

[is] yet for an appointed time
<04150>_,

but at the end
<07093>

it shall speak
<06315> (8686)_,

and not lie
<03576> (8762)_:

though it tarry
<04102> (8698)_,

wait
<02442> (8761)

for it; because it will surely
<0935> (8800)

come
<0935> (8799)_,

it will not tarry
<0309> (8762)_.

2:4

Behold, his soul
<05315>

[which] is lifted up
<06075> (8795)

is not upright
<03474> (8804)

in him: but the just
<06662>

shall live
<02421> (8799)

by his faith
<0530>_.

2:5

Yea also, because he transgresseth
<0898> (8802)

by wine
<03196>_,

[he is] a proud
<03093>

man
<01397>_,

neither keepeth at home
<05115> (8799)_,

who enlargeth
<07337> (8689)

his desire
<05315>

as hell
<07585>_,

and [is] as death
<04194>_,

and cannot be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,

but gathereth
<0622> (8799)

unto him all nations
<01471>_,

and heapeth
<06908> (8799)

unto him all people
<05971>_:

{Yea...: or, How much more}

2:6

Shall not all these take up
<05375> (8799)

a parable
<04912>

against him, and a taunting
<04426>

proverb
<02420>

against him, and say
<0559> (8799)_,

Woe
<01945>

to him that increaseth
<07235> (8688)

[that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth
<03513> (8688)

himself with thick clay
<05671>_!

{Woe...: or, Ho, he}

2:7

Shall they not rise up
<06965> (8799)

suddenly
<06621>

that shall bite
<05391> (8802)

thee, and awake
<03364> (8799)

that shall vex
<02111> (8772)

thee, and thou shalt be for booties
<04933>

unto them?

2:8

Because thou hast spoiled
<07997> (8804)

many
<07227>

nations
<01471>_,

all the remnant
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

shall spoil
<07997> (8799)

thee; because of men's
<0120>

blood
<01818>_,

and [for] the violence
<02555>

of the land
<0776>_,

of the city
<07151>_,

and of all that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein. {blood: Heb. bloods}

2:9

Woe
<01945>

to him that coveteth
<01214> (8802)

an evil
<07451>

covetousness
<01215>

to his house
<01004>_,

that he may set
<07760> (8800)

his nest
<07064>

on high
<04791>_,

that he may be delivered
<05337> (8736)

from the power
<03709>

of evil
<07451>_!

{coveteth...: or, gaineth and evil gain} {power...: Heb. palm of the hand}

2:10

Thou hast consulted
<03289> (8804)

shame
<01322>

to thy house
<01004>

by cutting off
<07096> (8800)

many
<07227>

people
<05971>_,

and hast sinned
<02398> (8802)

[against] thy soul
<05315>_.

2:11

For the stone
<068>

shall cry out
<02199> (8799)

of the wall
<07023>_,

and the beam out
<03714>

of the timber
<06086>

shall answer
<06030> (8799)

it. {beam: or, piece, or, fastening} {answer it: or, witness against it}

2:12

Woe
<01945>

to him that buildeth
<01129> (8802)

a town
<05892>

with blood
<01818>_,

and stablisheth
<03559> (8790)

a city
<07151>

by iniquity
<05766>_!

{blood: Heb. bloods}

2:13

Behold, [is it] not of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

that the people
<05971>

shall labour
<03021> (8799)

in the very
<01767>

fire
<0784>_,

and the people
<03816>

shall weary
<03286> (8799)

themselves for very
<01767>

vanity
<07385>_?

{for...: or, in vain?}

2:14

For the earth
<0776>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with the knowledge
<03045> (8800)

of the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as the waters
<04325>

cover
<03680> (8762)

the sea
<03220>_.

{with...: or, by knowing the glory}

2:15

Woe
<01945>

unto him that giveth his neighbour
<07453>

drink
<08248> (8688)_,

that puttest
<05596> (8764)

thy bottle
<02573>

to [him], and makest [him] drunken
<07937> (8763)

also, that thou mayest look
<05027> (8687)

on their nakedness
<04589>_!

2:16

Thou art filled
<07646> (8804)

with shame
<07036>

for glory
<03519>_:

drink
<08354> (8798)

thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered
<06188> (8734)_:

the cup
<03563>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

right hand
<03225>

shall be turned
<05437> (8735)

unto thee, and shameful spewing
<07022>

[shall be] on thy glory
<03519>_.

{with...: or, more with shame than with glory}

2:17

For the violence
<02555>

of Lebanon
<03844>

shall cover
<03680> (8762)

thee, and the spoil
<07701>

of beasts
<0929>_,

[which] made them afraid
<02865> (8686)_,

because of men's
<0120>

blood
<01818>_,

and for the violence
<02555>

of the land
<0776>_,

of the city
<07151>_,

and of all that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein.

2:18

What profiteth
<03276> (8689)

the graven image
<06459>

that the maker
<03335> (8802)

thereof hath graven
<06458> (8804)

it; the molten image
<04541>_,

and a teacher
<03384> (8688)

of lies
<08267>_,

that the maker
<03335> (8802)

of his work
<03336>

trusteth
<0982> (8804)

therein, to make
<06213> (8800)

dumb
<0483>

idols
<0457>_?

{maker of...: Heb. fashioner of his fashion}

2:19

Woe
<01945>

unto him that saith
<0559> (8802)

to the wood
<06086>_,

Awake
<06974> (8685)_;

to the dumb
<01748>

stone
<068>_,

Arise
<05782> (8798)_,

it shall teach
<03384> (8686)_!

Behold, it [is] laid
<08610> (8803)

over with gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_,

and [there is] no breath
<07307>

at all in the midst
<07130>

of it.

2:20

But the LORD
<03068>

[is] in his holy
<06944>

temple
<01964>_:

let all the earth
<0776>

keep silence
<02013> (8761)

before
<06440>

him. {let...: Heb. be silent all the earth before him}
