Ezekiel 25:1--35:15

The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
set
<07760> (8798)
thy face
<06440>
against the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
and prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against them;
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thou saidst
<0559> (8800)_,
Aha
<01889>_,
against my sanctuary
<04720>_,
when it was profaned
<02490> (8738)_;
and against the land
<0127>
of Israel
<03478>_,
when it was desolate
<08074> (8738)_;
and against the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_,
when they went
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>_;
Behold, therefore I will deliver
<05414> (8802)
thee to the men
<01121>
of the east
<06924>
for a possession
<04181>_,
and they shall set
<03427> (8765)
their palaces
<02918>
in thee, and make
<05414> (8804)
their dwellings
<04908>
in thee: they shall eat
<0398> (8799)
thy fruit
<06529>_,
and they shall drink
<08354> (8799)
thy milk
<02461>_.
{men: Heb. children}
And I will make
<05414> (8804)
Rabbah
<07237>
a stable
<05116>
for camels
<01581>_,
and the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>
a couchingplace
<04769>
for flocks
<06629>_:
and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thou hast clapped
<04222> (8763)
[thine] hands
<03027>_,
and stamped
<07554> (8800)
with the feet
<07272>_,
and rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
in heart
<05315>
with all thy despite
<07589>
against the land
<0127>
of Israel
<03478>_;
{hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon thee, and will deliver
<05414> (8804)
thee for a spoil
<0957> (8675) <0897>
to the heathen
<01471>_;
and I will cut thee off
<03772> (8689)
from the people
<05971>_,
and I will cause thee to perish
<06> (8689)
out of the countries
<0776>_:
I will destroy
<08045> (8686)
thee; and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
{a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because
<03282>
that Moab
<04124>
and Seir
<08165>
do say
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
[is] like unto all the heathen
<01471>_;
Therefore, behold, I will open
<06605> (8802)
the side
<03802>
of Moab
<04124>
from the cities
<05892>_,
from his cities
<05892>
[which are] on his frontiers
<07097>_,
the glory
<06643>
of the country
<0776>_,
Bethjeshimoth
<01020>_,
Baalmeon
<01186>_,
and Kiriathaim
<07156>_,
{side...: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the men
<01121>
of the east
<06924>
with the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
them in possession
<04181>_,
that the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>
may not be remembered
<02142> (8735)
among the nations
<01471>_.
{with...: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will execute
<06213> (8799)
judgments
<08201>
upon Moab
<04124>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because that Edom
<0123>
hath dealt
<06213> (8800)
against the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
by taking
<05358> (8800)
vengeance
<05359>_,
and hath greatly
<0816> (8800)
offended
<0816> (8799)_,
and revenged
<05358> (8738)
himself upon them; {by...: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
I will also stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon Edom
<0123>_,
and will cut off
<03772> (8689)
man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>
from it; and I will make
<05414> (8804)
it desolate
<02723>
from Teman
<08487>_;
and they of Dedan
<01719>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_.
{they...: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will lay
<05414> (8804)
my vengeance
<05360>
upon Edom
<0123>
by the hand
<03027>
of my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_:
and they shall do
<06213> (8804)
in Edom
<0123>
according to mine anger
<0639>
and according to my fury
<02534>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
my vengeance
<05360>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because the Philistines
<06430>
have dealt
<06213> (8800)
by revenge
<05360>_,
and have taken
<05358> (8735)
vengeance
<05359>
with a despiteful
<07589>
heart
<05315>_,
to destroy
<04889>
[it] for the old
<05769>
hatred
<0342>_;
{for the...: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I will stretch out
<05186> (8802)
mine hand
<03027>
upon the Philistines
<06430>_,
and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)
the Cherethims
<03774>_,
and destroy
<06> (8689)
the remnant
<07611>
of the sea
<03220>
coast
<02348>_.
{sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will execute
<06213> (8804)
great
<01419>
vengeance
<05360>
upon them with furious
<02534>
rebukes
<08433>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
when I shall lay
<05414> (8800)
my vengeance
<05360>
upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
And it came to pass in the eleventh
<06249> <06240>
year
<08141>_,
in the first
<0259>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
because that Tyrus
<06865>
hath said
<0559> (8804)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Aha
<01889>_,
she is broken
<07665> (8738)
[that was] the gates
<01817>
of the people
<05971>_:
she is turned
<05437> (8738)
unto me: I shall be replenished
<04390> (8735)_,
[now] she is laid waste
<02717> (8717)_:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I [am] against thee, O Tyrus
<06865>_,
and will cause many
<07227>
nations
<01471>
to come up
<05927> (8689)
against thee, as the sea
<03220>
causeth his waves
<01530>
to come up
<05927> (8687)_.
And they shall destroy
<07843> (8765)
the walls
<02346>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
and break down
<02040> (8804)
her towers
<04026>_:
I will also scrape
<05500> (8765)
her dust
<06083>
from her, and make
<05414> (8804)
her like the top
<06706>
of a rock
<05553>_.
It shall be [a place for] the spreading
<04894>
of nets
<02764>
in the midst
<08432>
of the sea
<03220>_:
for I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_:
and it shall become a spoil
<0957>
to the nations
<01471>_.
And her daughters
<01323>
which [are] in the field
<07704>
shall be slain
<02026> (8735)
by the sword
<02719>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon Tyrus
<06865>
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
a king
<04428>
of kings
<04428>_,
from the north
<06828>_,
with horses
<05483>_,
and with chariots
<07393>_,
and with horsemen
<06571>_,
and companies
<06951>_,
and much
<07227>
people
<05971>_.
He shall slay
<02026> (8799)
with the sword
<02719>
thy daughters
<01323>
in the field
<07704>_:
and he shall make
<05414> (8804)
a fort
<01785>
against thee, and cast
<08210> (8804)
a mount
<05550>
against thee, and lift up
<06965> (8689)
the buckler
<06793>
against thee. {cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot}
And he shall set
<05414> (8799)
engines
<04239>
of war
<06904>
against thy walls
<02346>_,
and with his axes
<02719>
he shall break down
<05422> (8799)
thy towers
<04026>_.
By reason of the abundance
<08229>
of his horses
<05483>
their dust
<080>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
thee: thy walls
<02346>
shall shake
<07493> (8799)
at the noise
<06963>
of the horsemen
<06571>_,
and of the wheels
<01534>_,
and of the chariots
<07393>_,
when he shall enter
<0935> (8800)
into thy gates
<08179>_,
as men enter
<03996>
into a city
<05892>
wherein is made a breach
<01234> (8794)_.
{as men...: Heb. according to the enterings of a city broken up}
With the hoofs
<06541>
of his horses
<05483>
shall he tread down
<07429> (8799)
all thy streets
<02351>_:
he shall slay
<02026> (8799)
thy people
<05971>
by the sword
<02719>_,
and thy strong
<05797>
garrisons
<04676>
shall go down
<03381> (8799)
to the ground
<0776>_.
And they shall make a spoil
<07997> (8804)
of thy riches
<02428>_,
and make a prey
<0962> (8804)
of thy merchandise
<07404>_:
and they shall break down
<02040> (8804)
thy walls
<02346>_,
and destroy
<05422> (8799)
thy pleasant
<02532>
houses
<01004>_:
and they shall lay
<07760> (8799)
thy stones
<068>
and thy timber
<06086>
and thy dust
<06083>
in the midst
<08432>
of the water
<04325>_.
{thy pleasant...: Heb. houses of thy desire}
And I will cause the noise
<01995>
of thy songs
<07892>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_;
and the sound
<06963>
of thy harps
<03658>
shall be no more heard
<08085> (8735)_.
And I will make
<05414> (8804)
thee like the top
<06706>
of a rock
<05553>_:
thou shalt be [a place] to spread
<04894> (0)
nets
<02764>
upon
<04894>_;
thou shalt be built
<01129> (8735)
no more: for I the LORD
<03068>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
to Tyrus
<06865>_;
Shall not the isles
<0339>
shake
<07493> (8799)
at the sound
<06963>
of thy fall
<04658>_,
when the wounded
<02491>
cry
<0602> (8800)_,
when the slaughter
<02027>
is made
<02026> (8736)
in the midst
<08432>
of thee?
Then all the princes
<05387>
of the sea
<03220>
shall come down
<03381> (8804)
from their thrones
<03678>_,
and lay away
<05493> (8689)
their robes
<04598>_,
and put off
<06584> (8799)
their broidered
<07553>
garments
<0899>_:
they shall clothe
<03847> (8799)
themselves with trembling
<02731>_;
they shall sit
<03427> (8799)
upon the ground
<0776>_,
and shall tremble
<02729> (8804)
at [every] moment
<07281>_,
and be astonished
<08074> (8804)
at thee. {trembling: Heb. tremblings}
And they shall take up
<05375> (8804)
a lamentation
<07015>
for thee, and say
<0559> (8804)
to thee, How art thou destroyed
<06> (8804)_,
[that wast] inhabited
<03427> (8737)
of seafaring men
<03220>_,
the renowned
<01984> (8794)
city
<05892>_,
which wast strong
<02389>
in the sea
<03220>_,
she and her inhabitants
<03427> (8802)_,
which cause
<05414> (8804)
their terror
<02851>
[to be] on all that haunt
<03427> (8802)
it! {of...: Heb. of the seas}
Now shall the isles
<0339>
tremble
<02729> (8799)
in the day
<03117>
of thy fall
<04658>_;
yea, the isles
<0339>
that [are] in the sea
<03220>
shall be troubled
<0926> (8738)
at thy departure
<03318> (8800)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
When I shall make
<05414> (8800)
thee a desolate
<02717> (8737)
city
<05892>_,
like the cities
<05892>
that are not inhabited
<03427> (8738)_;
when I shall bring up
<05927> (8687)
the deep
<08415>
upon thee, and great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
shall cover
<03680> (8765)
thee;
When I shall bring thee down
<03381> (8689)
with them that descend
<03381> (8802)
into the pit
<0953>_,
with the people
<05971>
of old time
<05769>_,
and shall set
<03427> (8689)
thee in the low parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_,
in places desolate
<02723>
of old
<05769>_,
with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the pit
<0953>_,
that thou be not inhabited
<03427> (8799)_;
and I shall set
<05414> (8804)
glory
<06643>
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_;
I will make
<05414> (8799)
thee a terror
<01091>_,
and thou [shalt be] no [more]: though thou be sought for
<01245> (8792)_,
yet shalt thou never
<05769>
be found
<04672> (8735)
again, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
{a terror: Heb. terrors}
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Now, thou son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
take up
<05375> (8798)
a lamentation
<07015>
for Tyrus
<06865>_;
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto Tyrus
<06865>_,
O thou that art situate
<03427> (8802)
at the entry
<03997>
of the sea
<03220>_,
[which art] a merchant
<07402> (8802)
of the people
<05971>
for many
<07227>
isles
<0339>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
O Tyrus
<06865>_,
thou hast said
<0559> (8804)_,
I [am] of perfect
<03632>
beauty
<03308>_.
{of perfect...: Heb. perfect of beauty}
Thy borders
<01366>
[are] in the midst
<03820>
of the seas
<03220>_,
thy builders
<01129> (8802)
have perfected
<03634> (8804)
thy beauty
<03308>_.
{midst: Heb. heart}
They have made
<01129> (8804)
all thy [ship] boards
<03871>
of fir trees
<01265>
of Senir
<08149>_:
they have taken
<03947> (8804)
cedars
<0730>
from Lebanon
<03844>
to make
<06213> (8800)
masts
<08650>
for thee. {made: Heb. built}
[Of] the oaks
<0437>
of Bashan
<01316>
have they made
<06213> (8804)
thine oars
<04880>_;
the company
<01323>
of the Ashurites
<0839>
have made
<06213> (8804)
thy benches
<07175>
[of] ivory
<08127>_,
[brought] out of the isles
<0339>
of Chittim
<03794>_.
{the company...: or, they have made thy hatches of ivory well trodden} {company: Heb. daughter}
Fine linen
<08336>
with broidered work
<07553>
from Egypt
<04714>
was that which thou spreadest forth
<04666>
to be thy sail
<05251>_;
blue
<08504>
and purple
<0713>
from the isles
<0339>

them with sackcloth
<08242>_,

<03220>_?
When thy wares

out of the seas
<03220>_,
thou filledst

people
<05971>_;
thou didst enrich
<06238> (8689)
the kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0776>
with the multitude
<07230>
of thy riches
<01952>

in the depths

of the waters
<04325>
thy merchandise
<04627>
and all thy company

in the midst

All the inhabitants

shall be astonished
<08074> (8804)
at thee, and their kings

afraid

in [their] countenance
<06440>_.
The merchants

and never [shalt be] any more
<05704> <05769>_.
{a terror: Heb. terrors} {never...: Heb. shalt not be for ever}
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
say
<0559> (8798)
unto the prince
<05057>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thine heart
<03820>
[is] lifted up
<01361> (8804)_,
and thou hast said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] a God
<0410>_,
I sit
<03427> (8804)
[in] the seat
<04186>
of God
<0430>_,
in the midst
<03820>
of the seas
<03220>_;
yet thou [art] a man
<0120>_,
and not God
<0410>_,
though thou set
<05414> (8799)
thine heart
<03820>
as the heart
<03820>
of God
<0430>_:
{midst: Heb. heart}
Behold, thou [art] wiser
<02450>
than Daniel
<01840>_;
there is no secret
<05640> (8803)
that they can hide
<06004> (8804)
from thee:
With thy wisdom
<02451>
and with thine understanding
<08394>
thou hast gotten
<06213> (8804)
thee riches
<02428>_,
and hast gotten
<06213> (8799)
gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>
into thy treasures
<0214>_:
By thy great
<07230>
wisdom
<02451>
[and] by thy traffick
<07404>
hast thou increased
<07235> (8689)
thy riches
<02428>_,
and thine heart
<03824>
is lifted up
<01361> (8799)
because of thy riches
<02428>_:
{thy great...: Heb. the greatness of thy wisdom}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thou hast set
<05414> (8800)
thine heart
<03820>
as the heart
<03824>
of God
<0430>_;
Behold, therefore I will bring
<0935> (8688)
strangers
<02114> (8801)
upon thee, the terrible
<06184>
of the nations
<01471>_:
and they shall draw
<07324> (8689)
their swords
<02719>
against the beauty
<03308>
of thy wisdom
<02451>_,
and they shall defile
<02490> (8765)
thy brightness
<03314>_.
They shall bring thee down
<03381> (8686)
to the pit
<07845>_,
and thou shalt die
<04191> (8804)
the deaths
<04463>
of [them that are] slain
<02491>
in the midst
<03820>
of the seas
<03220>_.
Wilt thou yet
<0559> (8800)
say
<0559> (8799)
before
<06440>
him that slayeth
<02026> (8802)
thee, I [am] God
<0430>_?
but thou [shalt be] a man
<0120>_,
and no God
<0410>_,
in the hand
<03027>
of him that slayeth
<02490> (8764)
thee. {of him that slayeth: or, of him that woundeth}
Thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)
the deaths
<04194>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>
by the hand
<03027>
of strangers
<02114> (8801)_:
for I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
take up
<05375> (8798)
a lamentation
<07015>
upon the king
<04428>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Thou sealest up
<02856> (8802)
the sum
<08508>_,
full
<04392>
of wisdom
<02451>_,
and perfect
<03632>
in beauty
<03308>_.
Thou hast been in Eden
<05731>
the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>_;
every precious
<03368>
stone
<068>
[was] thy covering
<04540>_,
the sardius
<0124>_,
topaz
<06357>_,
and the diamond
<03095>_,
the beryl
<08658>_,
the onyx
<07718>_,
and the jasper
<03471>_,
the sapphire
<05601>_,
the emerald
<05306>_,
and the carbuncle
<01304>_,
and gold
<02091>_:
the workmanship
<04399>
of thy tabrets
<08596>
and of thy pipes
<05345>
was prepared
<03559> (8797)
in thee in the day
<03117>
that thou wast created
<01254> (8736)_.
{sardius: or, ruby} {beryl: or, chrysolite} {emerald: or, chrysoprase}
Thou [art] the anointed
<04473>
cherub
<03742>
that covereth
<05526> (8802)_;
and I have set
<05414> (8804)
thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>
of God
<0430>_;
thou hast walked up and down
<01980> (8694)
in the midst
<08432>
of the stones
<068>
of fire
<0784>_.
Thou [wast] perfect
<08549>
in thy ways
<01870>
from the day
<03117>
that thou wast created
<01254> (8736)_,
till iniquity
<05766>
was found
<04672> (8738)
in thee.
By the multitude
<07230>
of thy merchandise
<07404>
they have filled
<04390> (8804)
the midst
<08432>
of thee with violence
<02555>_,
and thou hast sinned
<02398> (8799)_:
therefore I will cast thee as profane
<02490> (8762)
out of the mountain
<02022>
of God
<0430>_:
and I will destroy
<06> (8762)
thee, O covering
<05526> (8802)
cherub
<03742>_,
from the midst
<08432>
of the stones
<068>
of fire
<0784>_.
Thine heart
<03820>
was lifted up
<01361> (8804)
because of thy beauty
<03308>_,
thou hast corrupted
<07843> (8765)
thy wisdom
<02451>
by reason of
<05921>
thy brightness
<03314>_:
I will cast
<07993> (8689)
thee to the ground
<0776>_,
I will lay
<05414> (8804)
thee before
<06440>
kings
<04428>_,
that they may behold
<07200> (8800)
thee.
Thou hast defiled
<02490> (8765)
thy sanctuaries
<04720>
by the multitude
<07230>
of thine iniquities
<05771>_,
by the iniquity
<05766>
of thy traffick
<07404>_;
therefore will I bring forth
<03318> (8686)
a fire
<0784>
from the midst
<08432>
of thee, it shall devour
<0398> (8804)
thee, and I will bring
<05414> (8799)
thee to ashes
<0665>
upon the earth
<0776>
in the sight
<05869>
of all them that behold
<07200> (8802)
thee.
All they that know
<03045> (8802)
thee among the people
<05971>
shall be astonished
<08074> (8804)
at thee: thou shalt be a terror
<01091>_,
and never
<0369>
[shalt] thou [be] any more
<05704> <05769>_.
{a terror: Heb. terrors}
Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
set
<07760> (8798)
thy face
<06440>
against Zidon
<06721>_,
and prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against it,
And say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I [am] against thee, O Zidon
<06721>_;
and I will be glorified
<03513> (8738)
in the midst
<08432>
of thee: and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
when I shall have executed
<06213> (8800)
judgments
<08201>
in her, and shall be sanctified
<06942> (8738)
in her.
For I will send
<07971> (8765)
into her pestilence
<01698>_,
and blood
<01818>
into her streets
<02351>_;
and the wounded
<02491>
shall be judged
<05307> (8768)
in the midst
<08432>
of her by the sword
<02719>
upon her on every side
<05439>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
And there shall be no more a pricking
<03992> (8688)
brier
<05544>
unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
nor [any] grieving
<03510> (8688)
thorn
<06975>
of all [that are] round about
<05439>
them, that despised
<07590> (8801)
them; and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
When I shall have gathered
<06908> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
from the people
<05971>
among whom they are scattered
<06327> (8738)_,
and shall be sanctified
<06942> (8738)
in them in the sight
<05869>
of the heathen
<01471>_,
then shall they dwell
<03427> (8804)
in their land
<0127>
that I have given
<05414> (8804)
to my servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
safely
<0983>
therein, and shall build
<01129> (8804)
houses
<01004>_,
and plant
<05193> (8804)
vineyards
<03754>_;
yea, they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
with confidence
<0983>_,
when I have executed
<06213> (8800)
judgments
<08201>
upon all those that despise
<07590> (8801)
them round about
<05439>
them; and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
{safely: or, with confidence} {despise: or, spoil}
In the tenth
<06224>
year
<08141>_,
in the tenth
<06224>
[month], in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
set
<07760> (8798)
thy face
<06440>
against Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against him, and against all Egypt
<04714>_:
Speak
<01696> (8761)_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
the great
<01419>
dragon
<08577>
that lieth
<07257> (8802)
in the midst
<08432>
of his rivers
<02975>_,
which hath said
<0559> (8804)_,
My river
<02975>
[is] mine own, and I have made
<06213> (8804)
[it] for myself.
But I will put
<05414> (8804)
hooks
<02397> (8676) <02397>
in thy jaws
<03895>_,
and I will cause the fish
<01710>
of thy rivers
<02975>
to stick
<01692> (8689)
unto thy scales
<07193>_,
and I will bring thee up
<05927> (8689)
out of the midst
<08432>
of thy rivers
<02975>_,
and all the fish
<01710>
of thy rivers
<02975>
shall stick
<01692> (8799)
unto thy scales
<07193>_.
And I will leave
<05203> (8804)
thee [thrown] into the wilderness
<04057>_,
thee and all the fish
<01710>
of thy rivers
<02975>_:
thou shalt fall
<05307> (8799)
upon the open
<06440>
fields
<07704>_;
thou shalt not be brought together
<0622> (8735)_,
nor gathered
<06908> (8735)_:
I have given
<05414> (8804)
thee for meat
<0402>
to the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<0776>
and to the fowls
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>_.
{open...: Heb. face of the field}
And all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Egypt
<04714>
shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
because they have been a staff
<04938>
of reed
<07070>
to the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_.
When they took hold
<08610> (8800)
of thee by thy hand
<03709>_,
thou didst break
<07533> (8735)_,
and rend
<01234> (8804)
all their shoulder
<03802>_:
and when they leaned
<08172> (8736)
upon thee, thou brakest
<07665> (8735)_,
and madest all their loins
<04975>
to be at a stand
<05976> (8689)_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
a sword
<02719>
upon thee, and cut off
<03772> (8689)
man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>
out of thee.
And the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be desolate
<08077>
and waste
<02723>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
because he hath said
<0559> (8804)_,
The river
<02975>
[is] mine, and I have made
<06213> (8804)
[it].
Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy rivers
<02975>_,
and I will make
<05414> (8804)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
utterly
<02721>
waste
<02723>
[and] desolate
<08077>_,
from the tower
<04024>
of Syene
<05482>
even unto the border
<01366>
of Ethiopia
<03568>_.
{utterly...: Heb. wastes of waste} {from...: or, from Migdol to Syene} {Syene: Heb. Seveneh}
No foot
<07272>
of man
<0120>
shall pass through
<05674> (8799)
it, nor foot
<07272>
of beast
<0929>
shall pass through
<05674> (8799)
it, neither shall it be inhabited
<03427> (8799)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
And I will make
<05414> (8804)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
desolate
<08077>
in the midst
<08432>
of the countries
<0776>
[that are] desolate
<08074> (8737)_,
and her cities
<05892>
among
<08432>
the cities
<05892>
[that are] laid waste
<02717> (8716)
shall be desolate
<08077>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_:
and I will scatter
<06327> (8689)
the Egyptians
<04714>
among the nations
<01471>_,
and will disperse
<02219> (8765)
them through the countries
<0776>_.
Yet thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
At the end
<07093>
of forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
will I gather
<06908> (8762)
the Egyptians
<04714>
from the people
<05971>
whither they were scattered
<06327> (8738)_:
And I will bring again
<07725> (8804)
the captivity
<07622>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and will cause them to return
<07725> (8689)
[into] the land
<0776>
of Pathros
<06624>_,
into the land
<0776>
of their habitation
<04351>_;
and they shall be there a base
<08217>
kingdom
<04467>_.
{habitation: or, birth} {base: Heb. low}
It shall be the basest
<08217>
of the kingdoms
<04467>_;
neither shall it exalt
<05375> (8691)
itself any more above the nations
<01471>_:
for I will diminish
<04591> (8689)
them, that they shall no more rule
<07287> (8800)
over the nations
<01471>_.
And it shall be no more the confidence
<04009>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which bringeth
<02142> (0)
[their] iniquity
<05771>
to remembrance
<02142> (8688)_,
when they shall look
<06437> (8800)
after
<0310>
them: but they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
And it came to pass in the seven
<07651>
and twentieth
<06242>
year
<08141>_,
in the first
<07223>
[month], in the first
<0259>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
caused
<05647> (0)
his army
<02428>
to serve
<05647> (8689)
a great
<01419>
service
<05656>
against Tyrus
<06865>_:
every head
<07218>
[was] made bald
<07139> (8716)_,
and every shoulder
<03802>
[was] peeled
<04803> (8803)_:
yet had he no wages
<07939>_,
nor his army
<02428>_,
for Tyrus
<06865>_,
for the service
<05656>
that he had served
<05647> (8804)
against it:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_;
and he shall take
<05375> (8804)
her multitude
<01995>_,
and take
<07997> (8804)
her spoil
<07998>_,
and take
<0962> (8804)
her prey
<0957>_;
and it shall be the wages
<07939>
for his army
<02428>_.
{take her spoil...: Heb. spoil her spoil, and prey her prey}
I have given
<05414> (8804)
him the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
[for] his labour
<06468>
wherewith he served
<05647> (8804)
against it, because they wrought
<06213> (8804)
for me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
{for his...: or, for his hire}
In that day
<03117>
will I cause
<06779> (0)
the horn
<07161>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
to bud forth
<06779> (8686)_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
thee the opening
<06610>
of the mouth
<06310>
in the midst
<08432>
of them; and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
prophesy
<05012> (8734)
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Howl
<03213> (8685)
ye, Woe worth
<01929>
the day
<03117>_!
For the day
<03117>
[is] near
<07138>_,
even the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] near
<07138>_,
a cloudy
<06051>
day
<03117>_;
it shall be the time
<06256>
of the heathen
<01471>_.
And the sword
<02719>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
upon Egypt
<04714>_,
and great pain
<02479>
shall be in Ethiopia
<03568>_,
when the slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8800)
in Egypt
<04714>_,
and they shall take away
<03947> (8804)
her multitude
<01995>_,
and her foundations
<03247>
shall be broken down
<02040> (8738)_.
{pain: or, fear}
Ethiopia
<03568>_,
and Libya
<06316>_,
and Lydia
<03865>_,
and all the mingled
<06153>
people, and Chub
<03552>_,
and the men
<01121>
of the land
<0776>
that is in league
<01285>_,
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
with them by the sword
<02719>_.
{Libya: Heb. Phut} {men: Heb. children}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
They also that uphold
<05564> (8802)
Egypt
<04714>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)_;
and the pride
<01347>
of her power
<05797>
shall come down
<03381> (8804)_:
from the tower
<04024>
of Syene
<05482>
shall they fall
<05307> (8799)
in it by the sword
<02719>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
{from...: or, from Migdol to Syene}
And they shall be desolate
<08074> (8738)
in the midst
<08432>
of the countries
<0776>
[that are] desolate
<08074> (8737)_,
and her cities
<05892>
shall be in the midst
<08432>
of the cities
<05892>
[that are] wasted
<02717> (8737)_.
And they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
when I have set
<05414> (8800)
a fire
<0784>
in Egypt
<04714>_,
and [when] all her helpers
<05826> (8802)
shall be destroyed
<07665> (8738)_.
{destroyed: Heb. broken}
In that day
<03117>
shall messengers
<04397>
go forth
<03318> (8799)
from me
<06440>
in ships
<06716>
to make the careless
<0983>
Ethiopians
<03568>
afraid
<02729> (8687)_,
and great pain
<02479>
shall come upon them, as in the day
<03117>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
for, lo, it cometh
<0935> (8802)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
I will also make the multitude
<01995>
of Egypt
<04714>
to cease
<07673> (8689)
by the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
He and his people
<05971>
with him, the terrible
<06184>
of the nations
<01471>_,
shall be brought
<0935> (8716)
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
the land
<0776>_:
and they shall draw
<07324> (8689)
their swords
<02719>
against Egypt
<04714>_,
and fill
<04390> (8804)
the land
<0776>
with the slain
<02491>_.
And I will make
<05414> (8804)
the rivers
<02975>
dry
<02724>_,
and sell
<04376> (8804)
the land
<0776>
into the hand
<03027>
of the wicked
<07451>_:
and I will make the land
<0776>
waste
<08074> (8689)_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_,
by the hand
<03027>
of strangers
<02114> (8801)_:
I the LORD
<03068>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it]. {dry: Heb. drought} {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
I will also destroy
<06> (8689)
the idols
<01544>_,
and I will cause [their] images
<0457>
to cease
<07673> (8689)
out of Noph
<05297>_;
and there shall be no more a prince
<05387>
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
and I will put
<05414> (8804)
a fear
<03374>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And I will make Pathros
<06624>
desolate
<08074> (8689)_,
and will set
<05414> (8804)
fire
<0784>
in Zoan
<06814>_,
and will execute
<06213> (8804)
judgments
<08201>
in No
<04996>_.
{Zoan: or, Tanis}
And I will pour
<08210> (8804)
my fury
<02534>
upon Sin
<05512>_,
the strength
<04581>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)
the multitude
<01995>
of No
<04996>_.
{Sin: or, Pelusium}
And I will set
<05414> (8804)
fire
<0784>
in Egypt
<04714>_:
Sin
<05512>
shall have great
<02342> (8800)
pain
<02342> (8799)_,
and No
<04996>
shall be rent asunder
<01234> (8736)_,
and Noph
<05297>
[shall have] distresses
<06862>
daily
<03119>_.
The young men
<0970>
of Aven
<0206>
and of Pibeseth
<06364>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_:
and these [cities] shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<07628>_.
{Aven: or, Heliopolis} {Pibeseth: or, Pubastum}
At Tehaphnehes
<08471>
also the day
<03117>
shall be darkened
<02821> (8804) (8676) <02820> (8804)_,
when I shall break
<07665> (8800)
there the yokes
<04133>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
and the pomp
<01347>
of her strength
<05797>
shall cease
<07673> (8738)
in her
<01931>_:
as for her, a cloud
<06051>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
her, and her daughters
<01323>
shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<07628>_.
{darkened: or, restrained}
Thus will I execute
<06213> (8804)
judgments
<08201>
in Egypt
<04714>_:
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
And it came to pass in the eleventh
<0259> <06240>
year
<08141>_,
in the first
<07223>
[month], in the seventh
<07651>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
I have broken
<07665> (8804)
the arm
<02220>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and, lo, it shall not be bound up
<02280> (8795)
to be healed
<07499> <05414> (8800)_,
to put
<07760> (8800)
a roller
<02848>
to bind
<02280> (8800)
it, to make it strong
<02388> (8800)
to hold
<08610> (8800)
the sword
<02719>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and will break
<07665> (8804)
his arms
<02220>_,
the strong
<02389>_,
and that which was broken
<07665> (8737)_;
and I will cause the sword
<02719>
to fall
<05307> (8689)
out of his hand
<03027>_.
And I will scatter
<06327> (8689)
the Egyptians
<04714>
among the nations
<01471>_,
and will disperse
<02219> (8765)
them through the countries
<0776>_.
And I will strengthen
<02388> (8765)
the arms
<02220>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and put
<05414> (8804)
my sword
<02719>
in his hand
<03027>_:
but I will break
<07665> (8804)
Pharaoh's
<06547>
arms
<02220>_,
and he shall groan
<05008> (8804)
before
<06440>
him with the groanings
<05009>
of a deadly wounded
<02491>
[man].
But I will strengthen
<02388> (8689)
the arms
<02220>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and the arms
<02220>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
shall fall down
<05307> (8799)_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
when I shall put
<05414> (8800)
my sword
<02719>
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and he shall stretch it out
<05186> (8804)
upon the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And I will scatter
<06327> (8689)
the Egyptians
<04714>
among the nations
<01471>_,
and disperse
<02219> (8765)
them among the countries
<0776>_;
and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
And it came to pass in the eleventh
<0259> <06240>
year
<08141>_,
in the third
<07992>
[month], in the first
<0259>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
speak
<0559> (8798)
unto Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and to his multitude
<01995>_;
Whom art thou like
<01819> (8804)
in thy greatness
<01433>_?
Behold, the Assyrian
<0804>
[was] a cedar
<0730>
in Lebanon
<03844>
with fair
<03303>
branches
<06057>_,
and with a shadowing
<06751> (8688)
shroud
<02793>_,
and of an high
<01362>
stature
<06967>_;
and his top
<06788>
was among the thick boughs
<05688>_.
{with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches}
The waters
<04325>
made him great
<01431> (8765)_,
the deep
<08415>
set him up on high
<07311> (8790)
with her rivers
<05104>
running
<01980> (8802)
round about
<05439>
his plants
<04302>_,
and sent out
<07971> (8765)
her little rivers
<08585>
unto all the trees
<06086>
of the field
<07704>_.
{made...: or, nourished him} {set...: or, brought him up} {little rivers: or, conduits}
Therefore his height
<06967>
was exalted
<01361> (8804)
above all the trees
<06086>
of the field
<07704>_,
and his boughs
<05634>
were multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,
and his branches
<06288>
became long
<0748> (8799)
because of the multitude
<07227>
of waters
<04325>_,
when he shot forth
<07971> (8763)_.
{when...: or, when it sent them forth}
All the fowls
<05775>
of heaven
<08064>
made their nests
<07077> (8765)
in his boughs
<05589>_,
and under his branches
<06288>
did all the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
bring forth their young
<03205> (8804)_,
and under his shadow
<06738>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
all great
<07227>
nations
<01471>_.
Thus was he fair
<03302> (8799)
in his greatness
<01433>_,
in the length
<0753>
of his branches
<01808>_:
for his root
<08328>
was by great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_.
The cedars
<0730>
in the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>
could not hide
<06004> (8804)
him: the fir trees
<01265>
were not like
<01819> (8804)
his boughs
<05589>_,
and the chesnut trees
<06196>
were not like his branches
<06288>_;
nor any tree
<06086>
in the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>
was like
<01819> (8804)
unto him in his beauty
<03308>_.
I have made
<06213> (8804)
him fair
<03303>
by the multitude
<07230>
of his branches
<01808>_:
so that all the trees
<06086>
of Eden
<05731>_,
that [were] in the garden
<01588>
of God
<0430>_,
envied
<07065> (8762)
him.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thou hast lifted up
<01361> (8804)
thyself in height
<06967>_,
and he hath shot up
<05414> (8799)
his top
<06788>
among the thick boughs
<05688>_,
and his heart
<03824>
is lifted up
<07311> (8804)
in his height
<01363>_;
I have therefore delivered
<05414> (8799)
him into the hand
<03027>
of the mighty one
<0410>
of the heathen
<01471>_;
he shall surely
<06213> (8800)
deal
<06213> (8799)
with him: I have driven him out
<01644> (8765)
for his wickedness
<07562>_.
{he...: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him}
And strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
the terrible
<06184>
of the nations
<01471>_,
have cut him off
<03772> (8799)_,
and have left
<05203> (8799)
him: upon the mountains
<02022>
and in all the valleys
<01516>
his branches
<01808>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
and his boughs
<06288>
are broken
<07665> (8735)
by all the rivers
<0650>
of the land
<0776>_;
and all the people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>
are gone down
<03381> (8799)
from his shadow
<06738>_,
and have left
<05203> (8799)
him.
Upon his ruin
<04658>
shall all the fowls
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>
remain
<07931> (8799)_,
and all the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
shall be upon his branches
<06288>_:
To the end that none of all the trees
<06086>
by the waters
<04325>
exalt
<01361> (8799)
themselves for their height
<06967>_,
neither shoot up
<05414> (8799)
their top
<06788>
among the thick boughs
<05688>_,
neither their trees
<0352>
stand up
<05975> (8799)
in their height
<01363>_,
all that drink
<08354> (8802)
water
<04325>_:
for they are all delivered
<05414> (8738)
unto death
<04194>_,
to the nether parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_,
in the midst
<08432>
of the children
<01121>
of men
<0120>_,
with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the pit
<0953>_.
{their trees...: or, stand upon themselves for their height}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
In the day
<03117>
when he went down
<03381> (8800)
to the grave
<07585>
I caused a mourning
<056> (8689)_:
I covered
<03680> (8765)
the deep
<08415>
for him, and I restrained
<04513> (8799)
the floods
<05104>
thereof, and the great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
were stayed
<03607> (8735)_:
and I caused Lebanon
<03844>
to mourn
<06937> (8686)
for him, and all the trees
<06086>
of the field
<07704>
fainted
<05969>
for him. {to mourn: Heb. to be black}
I made the nations
<01471>
to shake
<07493> (8689)
at the sound
<06963>
of his fall
<04658>_,
when I cast him down
<03381> (8687)
to hell
<07585>
with them that descend
<03381> (8802)
into the pit
<0953>_:
and all the trees
<06086>
of Eden
<05731>_,
the choice
<04005>
and best
<02896>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
all that drink
<08354> (8802)
water
<04325>_,
shall be comforted
<05162> (8735)
in the nether parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_.
They also went down
<03381> (8804)
into hell
<07585>
with him unto [them that be] slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>_;
and [they that were] his arm
<02220>_,
[that] dwelt
<03427> (8804)
under his shadow
<06738>
in the midst
<08432>
of the heathen
<01471>_.
To whom art thou thus like
<01819> (8804)
in glory
<03519>
and in greatness
<01433>
among the trees
<06086>
of Eden
<05731>_?
yet shalt thou be brought down
<03381> (8717)
with the trees
<06086>
of Eden
<05731>
unto the nether parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_:
thou shalt lie
<07901> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>
with [them that be] slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_.
This [is] Pharaoh
<06547>
and all his multitude
<01995>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
And it came to pass in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
year
<08141>_,
in the twelfth month
<02320>_,
in the first
<0259>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
take up
<05375> (8798)
a lamentation
<07015>
for Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto him, Thou art like
<01819> (8738)
a young lion
<03715>
of the nations
<01471>_,
and thou [art] as a whale
<08577> (8676) <08565>
in the seas
<03220>_:
and thou camest forth
<01518> (8799)
with thy rivers
<05104>_,
and troubledst
<01804> (8799)
the waters
<04325>
with thy feet
<07272>_,
and fouledst
<07515> (8799)
their rivers
<05104>_.
{whale: or, dragon}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
I will therefore spread out
<06566> (8804)
my net
<07568>
over thee with a company
<06951>
of many
<07227>
people
<05971>_;
and they shall bring thee up
<05927> (8689)
in my net
<02764>_.
Then will I leave
<05203> (8804)
thee upon the land
<0776>_,
I will cast thee forth
<02904> (8686)
upon the open
<06440>
field
<07704>_,
and will cause all the fowls
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>
to remain
<07931> (8689)
upon thee, and I will fill
<07646> (8689)
the beasts
<02416>
of the whole earth
<0776>
with thee.
And I will lay
<05414> (8804)
thy flesh
<01320>
upon the mountains
<02022>_,
and fill
<04390> (8765)
the valleys
<01516>
with thy height
<07419>_.
I will also water
<08248> (8689)
with thy blood
<01818>
the land
<0776>
wherein thou swimmest
<06824>_,
[even] to the mountains
<02022>_;
and the rivers
<0650>
shall be full
<04390> (8735)
of thee. {the land wherein...: or, the land of thy swimming}
And when I shall put thee out
<03518> (8763)_,
I will cover
<03680> (8765)
the heaven
<08064>_,
and make
<06937> (0)
the stars
<03556>
thereof dark
<06937> (8689)_;
I will cover
<03680> (8762)
the sun
<08121>
with a cloud
<06051>_,
and the moon
<03394>
shall not give
<0215> (8686)
her light
<0216>_.
{put...: or, extinguish thee}
All the bright
<03974>
lights
<0216>
of heaven
<08064>
will I make dark
<06937> (8686)
over thee, and set
<05414> (8804)
darkness
<02822>
upon thy land
<0776>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
{bright...: Heb. lights of the light in heaven} {dark: Heb. them dark}
I will also vex
<03707> (8689)
the hearts
<03820>
of many
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
when I shall bring
<0935> (8687)
thy destruction
<07667>
among the nations
<01471>_,
into the countries
<0776>
which thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)_.
{vex: Heb. provoke to anger, or, grief}
Yea, I will make many
<07227>
people
<05971>
amazed
<08074> (8689)
at thee, and their kings
<04428>
shall be horribly
<08178>
afraid
<08175> (8799)
for thee, when I shall brandish
<05774> (8788)
my sword
<02719>
before them
<06440>_;
and they shall tremble
<02729> (8804)
at [every] moment
<07281>_,
every man
<0376>
for his own life
<05315>_,
in the day
<03117>
of thy fall
<04658>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
The sword
<02719>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon thee.
By the swords
<02719>
of the mighty
<01368>
will I cause thy multitude
<01995>
to fall
<05307> (8686)_,
the terrible
<06184>
of the nations
<01471>_,
all of them: and they shall spoil
<07703> (8804)
the pomp
<01347>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and all the multitude
<01995>
thereof shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_.
I will destroy
<06> (8689)
also all the beasts
<0929>
thereof from
<05921>
beside the great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_;
neither shall the foot
<07272>
of man
<0120>
trouble
<01804> (8799)
them any more, nor the hoofs
<06541>
of beasts
<0929>
trouble
<01804> (8799)
them.
Then will I make their waters
<04325>
deep
<08257> (8686)_,
and cause their rivers
<05104>
to run
<03212> (8686)
like oil
<08081>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
When I shall make
<05414> (8800)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
desolate
<08077>_,
and the country
<0776>
shall be destitute
<08074> (8737)
of that whereof it was full
<04393>_,
when I shall smite
<05221> (8687)
all them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein, then shall they know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
{destitute...: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof}
This [is] the lamentation
<07015>
wherewith they shall lament
<06969> (8790)
her: the daughters
<01323>
of the nations
<01471>
shall lament
<06969> (8787)
her: they shall lament
<06969> (8787)
for her, [even] for Egypt
<04714>_,
and for all her multitude
<01995>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
It came to pass also in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
year
<08141>_,
in the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
wail
<05091> (8798)
for the multitude
<01995>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and cast them down
<03381> (8685)_,
[even] her, and the daughters
<01323>
of the famous
<0117>
nations
<01471>_,
unto the nether parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_,
with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
into the pit
<0953>_.
Whom dost thou pass in beauty
<05276> (8804)_?
go down
<03381> (8798)_,
and be thou laid
<07901> (8713)
with the uncircumcised
<06189>_.
They shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
of [them that are] slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_:
she is delivered
<05414> (8738)
to the sword
<02719>_:
draw
<04900> (8798)
her and all her multitudes
<01995>_.
{she...: or, the sword is laid}
The strong
<0410>
among the mighty
<01368>
shall speak
<01696> (8762)
to him out of the midst
<08432>
of hell
<07585>
with them that help
<05826> (8802)
him: they are gone down
<03381> (8804)_,
they lie
<07901> (8804)
uncircumcised
<06189>_,
slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_.
Asshur
<0804>
[is] there and all her company
<06951>_:
his graves
<06913>
[are] about
<05439>
him: all of them slain
<02491>_,
fallen
<05307> (8802)
by the sword
<02719>_:
Whose graves
<06913>
are set
<05414> (8738)
in the sides
<03411>
of the pit
<0953>_,
and her company
<06951>
is round about
<05439>
her grave
<06900>_:
all of them slain
<02491>_,
fallen
<05307> (8802)
by the sword
<02719>_,
which caused
<05414> (8804)
terror
<02851>
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_.
{terror: or, dismaying}
There [is] Elam
<05867>
and all her multitude
<01995>
round about
<05439>
her grave
<06900>_,
all of them slain
<02491>_,
fallen
<05307> (8802)
by the sword
<02719>_,
which are gone down
<03381> (8804)
uncircumcised
<06189>
into the nether parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_,
which caused
<05414> (8804)
their terror
<02851>
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_;
yet have they borne
<05375> (8799)
their shame
<03639>
with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the pit
<0953>_.
They have set
<05414> (8804)
her a bed
<04904>
in the midst
<08432>
of the slain
<02491>
with all her multitude
<01995>_:
her graves
<06913>
[are] round about
<05439>
him: all of them uncircumcised
<06189>_,
slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_:
though their terror
<02851>
was caused
<05414> (8737)
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_,
yet have they borne
<05375> (8799)
their shame
<03639>
with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the pit
<0953>_:
he is put
<05414> (8738)
in the midst
<08432>
of [them that be] slain
<02491>_.
There [is] Meshech
<04902>_,
Tubal
<08422>_,
and all her multitude
<01995>_:
her graves
<06913>
[are] round about
<05439>
him: all of them uncircumcised
<06189>_,
slain
<02490> (8794)
by the sword
<02719>_,
though they caused
<05414> (8804)
their terror
<02851>
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_.
And they shall not lie
<07901> (8799)
with the mighty
<01368>
[that are] fallen
<05307> (8802)
of the uncircumcised
<06189>_,
which are gone down
<03381> (8804)
to hell
<07585>
with their weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_:
and they have laid
<05414> (8799)
their swords
<02719>
under their heads
<07218>_,
but their iniquities
<05771>
shall be upon their bones
<06106>_,
though [they were] the terror
<02851>
of the mighty
<01368>
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_.
{with their...: Heb. with weapons of their war}
Yea, thou shalt be broken
<07665> (8735)
in the midst
<08432>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>_,
and shalt lie
<07901> (8799)
with [them that are] slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>_.
There [is] Edom
<0123>_,
her kings
<04428>_,
and all her princes
<05387>_,
which with their might
<01369>
are laid
<05414> (8738)
by [them that were] slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_:
they shall lie
<07901> (8799)
with the uncircumcised
<06189>_,
and with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the pit
<0953>_.
{laid: Heb. given, or, put}
There [be] the princes
<05257>
of the north
<06828>_,
all of them, and all the Zidonians
<06722>_,
which are gone down
<03381> (8804)
with the slain
<02491>_;
with their terror
<02851>
they are ashamed
<0954> (8802)
of their might
<01369>_;
and they lie
<07901> (8799)
uncircumcised
<06189>
with [them that be] slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_,
and bear
<05375> (8799)
their shame
<03639>
with them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the pit
<0953>_.
Pharaoh
<06547>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
them, and shall be comforted
<05162> (8738)
over all his multitude
<01995>_,
[even] Pharaoh
<06547>
and all his army
<02428>
slain
<02491>
by the sword
<02719>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
For I have caused
<05414> (8804)
my terror
<02851>
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_:
and he shall be laid
<07901> (8717)
in the midst
<08432>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>
with [them that are] slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>_,
[even] Pharaoh
<06547>
and all his multitude
<01995>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Again the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
speak
<01696> (8761)
to the children
<01121>
of thy people
<05971>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, When I bring
<0935> (8686)
the sword
<02719>
upon a land
<0776>_,
if the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
take
<03947> (8804)
a
<0259>
man
<0376>
of their coasts
<07097>_,
and set
<05414> (8804)
him for their watchman
<06822> (8802)_:
{When...: Heb. A land when I bring a sword upon her}
If when he seeth
<07200> (8804)
the sword
<02719>
come
<0935> (8802)
upon the land
<0776>_,
he blow
<08628> (8804)
the trumpet
<07782>_,
and warn
<02094> (8689)
the people
<05971>_;
Then whosoever
<08085> (8802)
heareth
<08085> (8804)
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
and taketh not warning
<02094> (8737)_;
if the sword
<02719>
come
<0935> (8799)_,
and take him away
<03947> (8799)_,
his blood
<01818>
shall be upon his own head
<07218>_.
{whosoever...: Heb. he that hearing heareth}
He heard
<08085> (8804)
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
and took not warning
<02094> (8737)_;
his blood
<01818>
shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning
<02094> (8737)
shall deliver
<04422> (8765)
his soul
<05315>_.
But if the watchman
<06822> (8802)
see
<07200> (8799)
the sword
<02719>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
and blow
<08628> (8804)
not the trumpet
<07782>_,
and the people
<05971>
be not warned
<02094> (8737)_;
if the sword
<02719>
come
<0935> (8799)_,
and take
<03947> (8799)
[any] person
<05315>
from among them, he is taken away
<03947> (8738)
in his iniquity
<05771>_;
but his blood
<01818>
will I require
<01875> (8799)
at the watchman's
<06822> (8802)
hand
<03027>_.
So thou, O son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
I have set
<05414> (8804)
thee a watchman
<06822> (8802)
unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
therefore thou shalt hear
<08085> (8804)
the word
<01697>
at my mouth
<06310>_,
and warn
<02094> (8689)
them from me.
When I say
<0559> (8800)
unto the wicked
<07563>_,
O wicked
<07563>
[man], thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_;
if thou dost not speak
<01696> (8765)
to warn
<02094> (8687)
the wicked
<07563>
from his way
<01870>_,
that wicked
<07563>
[man] shall die
<04191> (8799)
in his iniquity
<05771>_;
but his blood
<01818>
will I require
<01245> (8762)
at thine hand
<03027>_.
Nevertheless, if thou warn
<02094> (8689)
the wicked
<07563>
of his way
<01870>
to turn
<07725> (8800)
from it; if he do not turn
<07725> (8804)
from his way
<01870>_,
he shall die
<04191> (8799)
in his iniquity
<05771>_;
but thou hast delivered
<05337> (8689)
thy soul
<05315>_.
Therefore, O thou son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
speak
<0559> (8798)
unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Thus ye speak
<0559> (8804)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If our transgressions
<06588>
and our sins
<02403>
[be] upon us, and we pine away
<04743> (8737)
in them, how should we then live
<02421> (8799)_?
Say
<0559> (8798)
unto them, [As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
I have no pleasure
<02654> (8799)
in the death
<04194>
of the wicked
<07563>_;
but that the wicked
<07563>
turn
<07725> (8800)
from his way
<01870>
and live
<02421> (8804)_:
turn
<07725> (8798)
ye, turn
<07725> (8798)
ye from your evil
<07451>
ways
<01870>_;
for why will ye die
<04191> (8799)_,
O house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_?
Therefore, thou son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
say
<0559> (8798)
unto the children
<01121>
of thy people
<05971>_,
The righteousness
<06666>
of the righteous
<06662>
shall not deliver
<05337> (8686)
him in the day
<03117>
of his transgression
<06588>_:
as for the wickedness
<07564>
of the wicked
<07563>_,
he shall not fall
<03782> (8735)
thereby in the day
<03117>
that he turneth
<07725> (8800)
from his wickedness
<07562>_;
neither shall the righteous
<06662>
be able
<03201> (8799)
to live
<02421> (8800)
for his [righteousness] in the day
<03117>
that he sinneth
<02398> (8800)_.
When I shall say
<0559> (8800)
to the righteous
<06662>_,
[that] he shall surely
<02421> (8800)
live
<02421> (8799)_;
if he trust
<0982> (8804)
to his own righteousness
<06666>_,
and commit
<06213> (8804)
iniquity
<05766>_,
all his righteousnesses
<06666>
shall not be remembered
<02142> (8735)_;
but for his iniquity
<05766>
that he hath committed
<06213> (8804)_,
he shall die
<04191> (8799)
for it.
Again, when I say
<0559> (8800)
unto the wicked
<07563>_,
Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_;
if he turn
<07725> (8804)
from his sin
<02403>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
that which is lawful
<04941>
and right
<06666>_;
{that...: Heb. judgment and justice}
[If] the wicked
<07563>
restore
<07725> (8686)
the pledge
<02258>_,
give again
<07999> (8762)
that he had robbed
<01500>_,
walk
<01980> (8804)
in the statutes
<02708>
of life
<02416>_,
without committing
<06213> (8800)
iniquity
<05766>_;
he shall surely
<02421> (8800)
live
<02421> (8799)_,
he shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.
None of his sins
<02403>
that he hath committed
<02398> (8804)
shall be mentioned
<02142> (8735)
unto him: he hath done
<06213> (8804)
that which is lawful
<04941>
and right
<06666>_;
he shall surely
<02421> (8800)
live
<02421> (8799)_.
Yet the children
<01121>
of thy people
<05971>
say
<0559> (8804)_,
The way
<01870>
of the Lord
<0136>
is not equal
<08505> (8735)_:
but as for them, their way
<01870>
is not equal
<08505> (8735)_.
When the righteous
<06662>
turneth
<07725> (8800)
from his righteousness
<06666>_,
and committeth
<06213> (8804)
iniquity
<05766>_,
he shall even die
<04191> (8804)
thereby.
But if the wicked
<07563>
turn
<07725> (8800)
from his wickedness
<07564>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
that which is lawful
<04941>
and right
<06666>_,
he shall live
<02421> (8799)
thereby.
Yet ye say
<0559> (8804)_,
The way
<01870>
of the Lord
<0136>
is not equal
<08505> (8735)_.
O ye house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
I will judge
<08199> (8799)
you every one
<0376>
after his ways
<01870>_.
And it came to pass in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
year
<08141>
of our captivity
<01546>_,
in the tenth
<06224>
[month], in the fifth
<02568>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] one that had escaped
<06412>
out of Jerusalem
<03389>
came
<0935> (8804)
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The city
<05892>
is smitten
<05221> (8717)_.
Now the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was upon me in the evening
<06153>_,
afore
<06440>
he that was escaped
<06412>
came
<0935> (8800)_;
and had opened
<06605> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>_,
until he came
<0935> (8800)
to me in the morning
<01242>_;
and my mouth
<06310>
was opened
<06605> (8735)_,
and I was no more dumb
<0481> (8738)_.
Then the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
they that inhabit
<03427> (8802)
those wastes
<02723>
of the land
<0127>
of Israel
<03478>
speak
<0559> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Abraham
<085>
was one
<0259>_,
and he inherited
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>_:
but we [are] many
<07227>_;
the land
<0776>
is given
<05414> (8738)
us for inheritance
<04181>_.
Wherefore say
<0559> (8798)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Ye eat
<0398> (8799)
with the blood
<01818>_,
and lift up
<05375> (8799)
your eyes
<05869>
toward your idols
<01544>_,
and shed
<08210> (8799)
blood
<01818>_:
and shall ye possess
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>_?
Ye stand
<05975> (8804)
upon your sword
<02719>_,
ye work
<06213> (8804)
abomination
<08441>_,
and ye defile
<02930> (8765)
every one
<0376>
his neighbour's
<07453>
wife
<0802>_:
and shall ye possess
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>_?
Say
<0559> (8799)
thou thus unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
[As] I live
<02416>_,
surely they that [are] in the wastes
<02723>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and him that [is] in the open
<06440>
field
<07704>
will I give
<05414> (8804)
to the beasts
<02416>
to be devoured
<0398> (8800)_,
and they that [be] in the forts
<04679>
and in the caves
<04631>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
of the pestilence
<01698>_.
{to be...: Heb. to devour him}
For I will lay
<05414> (8804)
the land
<0776>
most
<04923>
desolate
<08077>_,
and the pomp
<01347>
of her strength
<05797>
shall cease
<07673> (8738)_;
and the mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be desolate
<08074> (8804)_,
that none shall pass through
<05674> (8802)_.
{most...: Heb. desolation and desolation}
Then shall they know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
when I have laid
<05414> (8800)
the land
<0776>
most
<04923>
desolate
<08077>
because of all their abominations
<08441>
which they have committed
<06213> (8804)_.
Also, thou son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
the children
<01121>
of thy people
<05971>
still are talking
<01696> (8737)
against
<0681>
thee by the walls
<07023>
and in the doors
<06607>
of the houses
<01004>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
one
<02297>
to another
<0259>_,
every one
<0376>
to his brother
<0251>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Come
<0935> (8798)_,
I pray you, and hear
<08085> (8798)
what is the word
<01697>
that cometh forth
<03318> (8802)
from the LORD
<03068>_.
{against thee: of, of thee}
And they come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee as the people
<05971>
cometh
<03996>_,
and they sit
<03427> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee [as] my people
<05971>_,
and they hear
<08085> (8804)
thy words
<01697>_,
but they will not do
<06213> (8799)
them: for with their mouth
<06310>
they shew
<06213> (8802)
much love
<05690>_,
[but] their heart
<03820>
goeth
<01980> (8802)
after
<0310>
their covetousness
<01215>_.
{as the...: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit...: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew...: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely
<05690>
song
<07892>
of one that hath a pleasant
<03303>
voice
<06963>_,
and can play well
<02895> (8688)
on an instrument
<05059> (8763)_:
for they hear
<08085> (8804)
thy words
<01697>_,
but they do
<06213> (8802)
them not. {a very...: Heb. a song of loves}
And when this cometh to pass
<0935> (8800)_,
(lo, it will come
<0935> (8802),)
then shall they know
<03045> (8804)
that a prophet
<05030>
hath been among
<08432>
them.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
unto the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_;
Woe
<01945>
[be] to the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>
that do feed
<07462> (8802)
themselves! should not the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
feed
<07462> (8799)
the flocks
<06629>_?
Ye eat
<0398> (8799)
the fat
<02459>_,
and ye clothe
<03847> (8799)
you with the wool
<06785>_,
ye kill
<02076> (8799)
them that are fed
<01277>_:
[but] ye feed
<07462> (8799)
not the flock
<06629>_.
The diseased
<02470> (8737)
have ye not strengthened
<02388> (8765)_,
neither have ye healed
<07495> (8765)
that which was sick
<02470> (8802)_,
neither have ye bound up
<02280> (8804)
[that which was] broken
<07665> (8737)_,
neither have ye brought again
<07725> (8689)
that which was driven away
<05080> (8737)_,
neither have ye sought
<01245> (8765)
that which was lost
<06> (8802)_;
but with force
<02394>
and with cruelty
<06531>
have ye ruled
<07287> (8804)
them.
And they were scattered
<06327> (8799)_,
because [there is] no shepherd
<07462> (8802)_:
and they became meat
<0402>
to all the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>_,
when they were scattered
<06327> (8799)_.
{because...: or, without a shepherd}
My sheep
<06629>
wandered
<07686> (8799)
through all the mountains
<02022>_,
and upon every high
<07311> (8802)
hill
<01389>_:
yea, my flock
<06629>
was scattered
<06327> (8738)
upon all the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and none did search
<01875> (8802)
or seek
<01245> (8764)
[after them].
Therefore, ye shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
[As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
surely because my flock
<06629>
became a prey
<0957>_,
and my flock
<06629>
became meat
<0402>
to every beast
<02416>
of the field
<07704>_,
because [there was] no shepherd
<07462> (8802)_,
neither did my shepherds
<07462> (8802)
search
<01875> (8804)
for my flock
<06629>_,
but the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
fed
<07462> (8799)
themselves, and fed
<07462> (8804)
not my flock
<06629>_;
{because...: or, without a shepherd}
Therefore, O ye shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I [am] against the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_;
and I will require
<01875> (8804)
my flock
<06629>
at their hand
<03027>_,
and cause them to cease
<07673> (8689)
from feeding
<07462> (8800)
the flock
<06629>_;
neither shall the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
feed
<07462> (8799)
themselves any more; for I will deliver
<05337> (8689)
my flock
<06629>
from their mouth
<06310>_,
that they may not be meat
<0402>
for them.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I, [even] I, will both search
<01875> (8804)
my sheep
<06629>_,
and seek them out
<01239> (8765)_.
As a shepherd
<07462> (8802)
seeketh out
<01243>
his flock
<05739>
in the day
<03117>
that he is among
<08432>
his sheep
<06629>
[that are] scattered
<06567> (8737)_;
so will I seek out
<01239> (8762)
my sheep
<06629>_,
and will deliver
<05337> (8689)
them out of all places
<04725>
where they have been scattered
<06327> (8738)
in the cloudy
<06051>
and dark
<06205>
day
<03117>_.
{As...: Heb. According to the seeking}
And I will bring them out
<03318> (8689)
from the people
<05971>_,
and gather
<06908> (8765)
them from the countries
<0776>_,
and will bring
<0935> (8689)
them to their own land
<0127>_,
and feed
<07462> (8804)
them upon the mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>
by the rivers
<0650>_,
and in all the inhabited places
<04186>
of the country
<0776>_.
I will feed
<07462> (8799)
them in a good
<02896>
pasture
<04829>_,
and upon the high
<04791>
mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>
shall their fold
<05116>
be: there shall they lie
<07257> (8799)
in a good
<02896>
fold
<05116>_,
and [in] a fat
<08082>
pasture
<04829>
shall they feed
<07462> (8799)
upon the mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>_.
I will feed
<07462> (8799)
my flock
<06629>_,
and I will cause them to lie down
<07257> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
I will seek
<01245> (8762)
that which was lost
<06> (8802)_,
and bring again
<07725> (8686)
that which was driven away
<05080> (8737)_,
and will bind up
<02280> (8799)
[that which was] broken
<07665> (8737)_,
and will strengthen
<02388> (8762)
that which was sick
<02470> (8802)_:
but I will destroy
<08045> (8686)
the fat
<08082>
and the strong
<02389>_;
I will feed
<07462> (8799)
them with judgment
<04941>_.
And [as for] you
<0859>_,
O my flock
<06629>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I judge
<08199> (8802)
between cattle
<07716>
and cattle
<07716>_,
between the rams
<0352>
and the he goats
<06260>_.
{cattle: Heb. small cattle of lambs and kids} {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
[Seemeth it] a small thing
<04592>
unto you to have eaten up
<07462> (8799)
the good
<02896>
pasture
<04829>_,
but ye must tread down
<07429> (8799)
with your feet
<07272>
the residue
<03499>
of your pastures
<04829>_?
and to have drunk
<08354> (8799)
of the deep
<04950>
waters
<04325>_,
but ye must foul
<07515> (8799)
the residue
<03498> (8737)
with your feet
<07272>_?
And [as for] my flock
<06629>_,
they eat
<07462> (8799)
that which ye have trodden
<04823>
with your feet
<07272>_;
and they drink
<08354> (8799)
that which ye have fouled
<04833>
with your feet
<07272>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
unto them; Behold, I, [even] I, will judge
<08199> (8804)
between the fat
<01274>
cattle
<07716>
and between the lean
<07330>
cattle
<07716>_.
Because ye have thrust
<01920> (8799)
with side
<06654>
and with shoulder
<03802>_,
and pushed
<05055> (8762)
all the diseased
<02470> (8737)
with your horns
<07161>_,
till ye have scattered
<06327> (8689)
them abroad
<02351>_;
Therefore will I save
<03467> (8689)
my flock
<06629>_,
and they shall no more be a prey
<0957>_;
and I will judge
<08199> (8804)
between cattle
<07716>
and cattle
<07716>_.
And I will set up
<06965> (8689)
one
<0259>
shepherd
<07462> (8802)
over them, and he shall feed
<07462> (8804)
them, [even] my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_;
he shall feed
<07462> (8799)
them, and he shall be their shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.
And I the LORD
<03068>
will be their God
<0430>_,
and my servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
a prince
<05387>
among
<08432>
them; I the LORD
<03068>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
And I will make
<03772> (8804)
with them a covenant
<01285>
of peace
<07965>_,
and will cause the evil
<07451>
beasts
<02416>
to cease
<07673> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>_:
and they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
safely
<0983>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and sleep
<03462> (8804)
in the woods
<03293> (8675) <03264>_.
And I will make
<05414> (8804)
them and the places round about
<05439>
my hill
<01389>
a blessing
<01293>_;
and I will cause the shower
<01653>
to come down
<03381> (8689)
in his season
<06256>_;
there shall be showers
<01653>
of blessing
<01293>_.
And the tree
<06086>
of the field
<07704>
shall yield
<05414> (8804)
her fruit
<06529>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall yield
<05414> (8799)
her increase
<02981>_,
and they shall be safe
<0983>
in their land
<0127>_,
and shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
when I have broken
<07665> (8800)
the bands
<04133>
of their yoke
<05923>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8689)
them out of the hand
<03027>
of those that served
<05647> (8802)
themselves of them.
And they shall no more be a prey
<0957>
to the heathen
<01471>_,
neither shall the beast
<02416>
of the land
<0776>
devour
<0398> (8799)
them; but they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
safely
<0983>_,
and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
And I will raise up
<06965> (8689)
for them a plant
<04302>
of renown
<08034>_,
and they shall be no more consumed
<0622> (8803)
with hunger
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_,
neither bear
<05375> (8799)
the shame
<03639>
of the heathen
<01471>
any more. {of renown: or, for renown} {consumed: Heb. taken away}
Thus shall they know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
[am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[are] my people
<05971>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
And ye
<0859>
my flock
<06629>_,
the flock
<06629>
of my pasture
<04830>_,
[are] men
<0120>_,
[and] I [am] your God
<0430>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
set
<07760> (8798)
thy face
<06440>
against mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
and prophesy
<05012> (8734)
against it,
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto it, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, O mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
against thee, and I will make
<05414> (8804)
thee most
<04923>
desolate
<08077>_.
{most...: Heb. desolation and desolation}
I will lay
<07760> (8799)
thy cities
<05892>
waste
<02723>_,
and thou shalt be desolate
<08077>_,
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
Because thou hast had a perpetual
<05769>
hatred
<0342>_,
and hast shed
<05064> (8686)
[the blood of] the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
by the force
<03027>
of the sword
<02719>
in the time
<06256>
of their calamity
<0343>_,
in the time
<06256>
[that their] iniquity
<05771>
[had] an end
<07093>_:
{perpetual...: or, hatred of old} {shed...: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
Therefore, [as] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
I will prepare
<06213> (8799)
thee unto blood
<01818>_,
and blood
<01818>
shall pursue
<07291> (8799)
thee: sith
<0518>
thou hast not hated
<08130> (8804)
blood
<01818>_,
even blood
<01818>
shall pursue
<07291> (8799)
thee.
Thus will I make
<05414> (8804)
mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>
most
<08077>
desolate
<08077>_,
and cut off
<03772> (8689)
from it him that passeth out
<05674> (8802)
and him that returneth
<07725> (8802)_.
{most...: Heb. desolation and desolation}
And I will fill
<04390> (8765)
his mountains
<02022>
with his slain
<02491>
[men]: in thy hills
<01389>_,
and in thy valleys
<01516>_,
and in all thy rivers
<0650>_,
shall they fall
<05307> (8799)
that are slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>_.
I will make
<05414> (8799)
thee perpetual
<05769>
desolations
<08077>_,
and thy cities
<05892>
shall not return
<07725> (8799) (8675) <03427> (8799)_:
and ye shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
Because thou hast said
<0559> (8800)_,
These two
<08147>
nations
<01471>
and these two
<08147>
countries
<0776>
shall be mine, and we will possess
<03423> (8804)
it; whereas the LORD
<03068>
was there: {whereas...: or, though the LORD was there}
Therefore, [as] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
I will even do
<06213> (8804)
according to thine anger
<0639>_,
and according to thine envy
<07068>
which thou hast used
<06213> (8804)
out of thy hatred
<08135>
against them; and I will make myself known
<03045> (8738)
among them, when I have judged
<08199> (8799)
thee.
And thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
[and that] I have heard
<08085> (8804)
all thy blasphemies
<05007>
which thou hast spoken
<0559> (8804)
against the mountains
<02022>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
They are laid desolate
<08074> (8804) (8675) <08077>_,
they are given
<05414> (8738)
us to consume
<0402>_.
{to consume: Heb. to devour}
Thus with your mouth
<06310>
ye have boasted
<01431> (8686)
against me, and have multiplied
<06280> (8689)
your words
<01697>
against me: I have heard
<08085> (8804)
[them]. {boasted: Heb. magnified}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
When the whole earth
<0776>
rejoiceth
<08055> (8800)_,
I will make
<06213> (8799)
thee desolate
<08077>_.
As thou didst rejoice
<08057>
at the inheritance
<05159>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
because it was desolate
<08074> (8804)_,
so will I do
<06213> (8799)
unto thee: thou shalt be desolate
<08077>_,
O mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
and all Idumea
<0123>_,
[even] all of it: and they shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

Jeremiah 25:9

Behold, I will send
<07971> (8802)
and take
<03947> (8804)
all the families
<04940>
of the north
<06828>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
my servant
<05650>_,
and will bring
<0935> (8689)
them against this land
<0776>_,
and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof, and against all these nations
<01471>
round about
<05439>_,
and will utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
them, and make
<07760> (8804)
them an astonishment
<08047>_,
and an hissing
<08322>_,
and perpetual
<05769>
desolations
<02723>_.

Jeremiah 25:15-29

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
unto me; Take
<03947> (8798)
the wine
<03196>
cup
<03563>
of this fury
<02534>
at my hand
<03027>_,
and cause all the nations
<01471>_,
to whom I send
<07971> (8802)
thee, to drink
<08248> (8689)
it.
And they shall drink
<08354> (8804)_,
and be moved
<01607> (8707)_,
and be mad
<01984> (8703)_,
because
<06440>
of the sword
<02719>
that I will send
<07971> (8802)
among them.
Then took
<03947> (8799)
I the cup
<03563>
at the LORD'S
<03068>
hand
<03027>_,
and made all the nations
<01471>
to drink
<08248> (8686)_,
unto whom the LORD
<03068>
had sent
<07971> (8804)
me:
[To wit], Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the kings
<04428>
thereof, and the princes
<08269>
thereof, to make
<05414> (8800)
them a desolation
<02723>_,
an astonishment
<08047>_,
an hissing
<08322>_,
and a curse
<07045>_;
as [it is] this day
<03117>_;
Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and his servants
<05650>_,
and his princes
<08269>_,
and all his people
<05971>_;
And all the mingled
<06153>
people, and all the kings
<04428>
of the land
<0776>
of Uz
<05780>_,
and all the kings
<04428>
of the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and Ashkelon
<0831>_,
and Azzah
<05804>_,
and Ekron
<06138>_,
and the remnant
<07611>
of Ashdod
<0795>_,
Edom
<0123>_,
and Moab
<04124>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
And all the kings
<04428>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
and all the kings
<04428>
of Zidon
<06721>_,
and the kings
<04428>
of the isles
<0339>
which [are] beyond
<05676>
the sea
<03220>_,
{isles: or, region by the sea side}
Dedan
<01719>_,
and Tema
<08485>_,
and Buz
<0938>_,
and all [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)
corners
<06285>_,
{that...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kings
<04428>
of Arabia
<06152>_,
and all the kings
<04428>
of the mingled people
<06153>
that dwell
<07931> (8802)
in the desert
<04057>_,
And all the kings
<04428>
of Zimri
<02174>_,
and all the kings
<04428>
of Elam
<05867>_,
and all the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_,
And all the kings
<04428>
of the north
<06828>_,
far
<07350>
and near
<07138>_,
one
<0376>
with another
<0251>_,
and all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the world
<0776>_,
which [are] upon the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_:
and the king
<04428>
of Sheshach
<08347>
shall drink
<08354> (8799)
after
<0310>
them.
Therefore thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Drink
<08354> (8798)
ye, and be drunken
<07937> (8798)_,
and spue
<07006> (8798)_,
and fall
<05307> (8798)_,
and rise
<06965> (8799)
no more, because
<06440>
of the sword
<02719>
which I will send
<07971> (8802)
among you.
And it shall be, if they refuse
<03985> (8762)
to take
<03947> (8800)
the cup
<03563>
at thine hand
<03027>
to drink
<08354> (8800)_,
then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Ye shall certainly
<08354> (8800)
drink
<08354> (8799)_.
For, lo, I begin
<02490> (8688)
to bring evil
<07489> (8687)
on the city
<05892>
which is called
<07121> (8738)
by my name
<08034>_,
and should ye be utterly
<05352> (8736)
unpunished
<05352> (8735)_?
Ye shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8736)_:
for I will call
<07121> (8802)
for a sword
<02719>
upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{which...: Heb. upon which my name is called}

Jeremiah 47:1--51:64

The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against the Philistines
<06430>_,
before that Pharaoh
<06547>
smote
<05221> (8686)
Gaza
<05804>_.
{Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, waters
<04325>
rise up
<05927> (8802)
out of the north
<06828>_,
and shall be an overflowing
<07857> (8802)
flood
<05158>_,
and shall overflow
<07857> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the city
<05892>_,
and them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein: then the men
<0120>
shall cry
<02199> (8804)_,
and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
shall howl
<03213> (8689)_.
{all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
At the noise
<06963>
of the stamping
<08161>
of the hoofs
<06541>
of his strong
<047>
[horses], at the rushing
<07494>
of his chariots
<07393>_,
[and at] the rumbling
<01995>
of his wheels
<01534>_,
the fathers
<01>
shall not look back
<06437> (8689)
to [their] children
<01121>
for feebleness
<07510>
of hands
<03027>_;
Because of the day
<03117>
that cometh
<0935> (8802)
to spoil
<07703> (8800)
all the Philistines
<06430>_,
[and] to cut off
<03772> (8687)
from Tyrus
<06865>
and Zidon
<06721>
every helper
<05826> (8802)
that remaineth
<08300>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
will spoil
<07703> (8802)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
the remnant
<07611>
of the country
<0339>
of Caphtor
<03731>_.
{the country: Heb. the isle}
Baldness
<07144>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon Gaza
<05804>_;
Ashkelon
<0831>
is cut off
<01820> (8738)
[with] the remnant
<07611>
of their valley
<06010>_:
how long wilt thou cut
<01413> (8704)
thyself?
O
<01945>
thou sword
<02719>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
how long [will it be] ere
<03808>
thou be quiet
<08252> (8799)_?
put up
<0622> (8734)
thyself into thy scabbard
<08593>_,
rest
<07280> (8734)_,
and be still
<01826> (8798)_.
{put...: Heb. gather thyself}
How can it be quiet
<08252> (8799)_,
seeing the LORD
<03068>
hath given it a charge
<06680> (8765)
against Ashkelon
<0831>_,
and against the sea
<03220>
shore
<02348>_?
there hath he appointed
<03259> (8804)
it. {How...: Heb. How canst thou}
Against Moab
<04124>
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Woe
<01945>
unto Nebo
<05015>_!
for it is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
Kiriathaim
<07156>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
[and] taken
<03920> (8738)_:
Misgab
<04869>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
and dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.
{Misgab: or, the high place}
[There shall be] no more praise
<08416>
of Moab
<04124>_:
in Heshbon
<02809>
they have devised
<02803> (8804)
evil
<07451>
against it; come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us cut it off
<03772> (8686)
from [being] a nation
<01471>_.
Also thou shalt be cut down
<01826> (8735)_,
O Madmen
<04086>_;
the sword
<02719>
shall pursue
<03212> (8799)
thee
<0310>_.
{be cut...: or, be brought to silence} {pursue...: Heb. go after thee}
A voice
<06963>
of crying
<06818>
[shall be] from Horonaim
<02773>_,
spoiling
<07701>
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
Moab
<04124>
is destroyed
<07665> (8738)_;
her little ones
<06810>
have caused a cry
<02201>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)_.
For in the going up
<04608>
of Luhith
<03872>
continual
<01065>
weeping
<01065>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)_;
for in the going down
<04174>
of Horonaim
<02773>
the enemies
<06862>
have heard
<08085> (8804)
a cry
<06818>
of destruction
<07667>_.
{continual...: Heb. weeping with weeping}
Flee
<05127> (8798)_,
save
<04422> (8761)
your lives
<05315>_,
and be
<01961> (8799)
like the heath
<06176>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
{the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trusted
<0982> (8800)
in thy works
<04639>
and in thy treasures
<0214>_,
thou shalt also be taken
<03920> (8735)_:
and Chemosh
<03645>
shall go forth
<03318> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>
[with] his priests
<03548>
and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_.
And the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon every city
<05892>_,
and no city
<05892>
shall escape
<04422> (8735)_:
the valley
<06010>
also shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
and the plain
<04334>
shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_.
Give
<05414> (8798)
wings
<06731>
unto Moab
<04124>_,
that it may flee
<05323> (8800)
and get away
<03318> (8799)_:
for the cities
<05892>
thereof shall be desolate
<08047>_,
without any to dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein
<02004>_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that doeth
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
of the LORD
<03068>
deceitfully
<07423>_,
and cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that keepeth back
<04513> (8802)
his sword
<02719>
from blood
<01818>_.
{deceitfully: or, negligently}
Moab
<04124>
hath been at ease
<07599> (8768)
from his youth
<05271>_,
and he hath settled
<08252> (8802)
on his lees
<08105>_,
and hath not been emptied
<07324> (8717)
from vessel
<03627>
to vessel
<03627>_,
neither hath he gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>_:
therefore his taste
<02940>
remained
<05975> (8804)
in him, and his scent
<07381>
is not changed
<04171> (8738)_.
{remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will send
<07971> (8765)
unto him wanderers
<06808> (8802)_,
that shall cause him to wander
<06808> (8765)_,
and shall empty
<07324> (8686)
his vessels
<03627>_,
and break
<05310> (8762)
their bottles
<05035>_.
And Moab
<04124>
shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Chemosh
<03645>_,
as the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
was ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Bethel
<01008>
their confidence
<04009>_.
How say
<0559> (8799)
ye, We [are] mighty
<01368>
and strong
<02428>
men
<0582>
for the war
<04421>_?
Moab
<04124>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
and gone up
<05927> (8804)
[out of] her cities
<05892>_,
and his chosen
<04005>
young men
<0970>
are gone down
<03381> (8804)
to the slaughter
<02874>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{his...: Heb. the choice of}
The calamity
<0343>
of Moab
<04124>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and his affliction
<07451>
hasteth
<04116> (8765)
fast
<03966>_.
All ye that are about
<05439>
him, bemoan
<05110> (8798)
him; and all ye that know
<03045> (8802)
his name
<08034>_,
say
<0559> (8798)_,
How is the strong
<05797>
staff
<04294>
broken
<07665> (8738)_,
[and] the beautiful
<08597>
rod
<04731>_!
Thou daughter
<01323>
that dost inhabit
<03427> (8802)
Dibon
<01769>_,
come down
<03381> (8798)
from [thy] glory
<03519>_,
and sit
<03427> (8798)
in thirst
<06772>_;
for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
of Moab
<04124>
shall come
<05927> (8804)
upon thee, [and] he shall destroy
<07843> (8765)
thy strong holds
<04013>_.
O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Aroer
<06177>_,
stand
<05975> (8798)
by the way
<01870>_,
and espy
<06822> (8761)_;
ask
<07592> (8798)
him that fleeth
<05127> (8801)_,
and her that escapeth
<04422> (8737)_,
[and] say
<0559> (8798)_,
What is done
<01961> (8738)_?
{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Moab
<04124>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)_;
for it is broken down
<02865> (8804)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)
and cry
<02199> (8798)_;
tell
<05046> (8685)
ye it in Arnon
<0769>_,
that Moab
<04124>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
And judgment
<04941>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon the plain
<04334>
country
<0776>_;
upon Holon
<02473>_,
and upon Jahazah
<03096>_,
and upon Mephaath
<04158>_,
And upon Dibon
<01769>_,
and upon Nebo
<05015>_,
and upon Bethdiblathaim
<01015>_,
And upon Kiriathaim
<07156>_,
and upon Bethgamul
<01014>_,
and upon Bethmeon
<01010>_,
And upon Kerioth
<07152>_,
and upon Bozrah
<01224>_,
and upon all the cities
<05892>
of the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
far
<07350>
or near
<07138>_.
The horn
<07161>
of Moab
<04124>
is cut off
<01438> (8738)_,
and his arm
<02220>
is broken
<07665> (8738)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Make ye him drunken
<07937> (8685)_:
for he magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_:
Moab
<04124>
also shall wallow
<05606> (8804)
in his vomit
<06892>_,
and he also shall be in derision
<07814>_.
For was not Israel
<03478>
a derision
<07814>
unto thee? was he found
<04672> (8738)
among thieves
<01590>_?
for since
<01767>
thou spakest
<01697>
of him, thou skippedst
<05110> (8709)
for joy. {skippedst...: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in Moab
<04124>_,
leave
<05800> (8798)
the cities
<05892>_,
and dwell
<07931> (8798)
in the rock
<05553>_,
and be like the dove
<03123>
[that] maketh her nest
<07077> (8762)
in the sides
<05676>
of the hole's
<06354>
mouth
<06310>_.
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
the pride
<01347>
of Moab
<04124>_,
(he is exceeding
<03966>
proud
<01343>)
his loftiness
<01363>_,
and his arrogancy
<01346>_,
and his pride
<01347>_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of his heart
<03820>_.
I know
<03045> (8804)
his wrath
<05678>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies
<0907>
shall not so effect
<06213> (8804)
[it]. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howl
<03213> (8686)
for Moab
<04124>_,
and I will cry out
<02199> (8799)
for all Moab
<04124>_;
[mine heart] shall mourn
<01897> (8799)
for the men
<0582>
of Kirheres
<07025>_.
O vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_,
I will weep
<01058> (8799)
for thee with the weeping
<01065>
of Jazer
<03270>_:
thy plants
<05189>
are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_,
they reach
<05060> (8804)
[even] to the sea
<03220>
of Jazer
<03270>_:
the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is fallen
<05307> (8804)
upon thy summer fruits
<07019>
and upon thy vintage
<01210>_.
And joy
<08057>
and gladness
<01524>
is taken
<0622> (8738)
from the plentiful field
<03759>_,
and from the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_;
and I have caused wine
<03196>
to fail
<07673> (8689)
from the winepresses
<03342>_:
none shall tread
<01869> (8799)
with shouting
<01959>_;
[their] shouting
<01959>
[shall be] no shouting
<01959>_.
From the cry
<02201>
of Heshbon
<02809>
[even] unto Elealeh
<0500>_,
[and even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_,
have they uttered
<05414> (8804)
their voice
<06963>_,
from Zoar
<06820>
[even] unto Horonaim
<02773>_,
[as] an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<07992>_:
for the waters
<04325>
also of Nimrim
<05249>
shall be desolate
<04923>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to cease
<07673> (8689)
in Moab
<04124>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
him that offereth
<05927> (8688)
in the high places
<01116>_,
and him that burneth incense
<06999> (8688)
to his gods
<0430>_.
Therefore mine heart
<03820>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
for Moab
<04124>
like pipes
<02485>_,
and mine heart
<03820>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
like pipes
<02485>
for the men
<0582>
of Kirheres
<07025>_:
because the riches
<03502>
[that] he hath gotten
<06213> (8804)
are perished
<06> (8804)_.
For every head
<07218>
[shall be] bald
<07144>_,
and every beard
<02206>
clipped
<01639> (8803)_:
upon all the hands
<03027>
[shall be] cuttings
<01417>_,
and upon the loins
<04975>
sackcloth
<08242>_.
{clipped: Heb. diminished}
[There shall be] lamentation
<04553>
generally upon all the housetops
<01406>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and in the streets
<07339>
thereof: for I have broken
<07665> (8804)
Moab
<04124>
like a vessel
<03627>
wherein [is] no pleasure
<02656>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
They shall howl
<03213> (8685)_,
[saying], How is it broken down
<02865> (8804)_!
how hath Moab
<04124>
turned
<06437> (8689)
the back
<06203>
with shame
<0954> (8804)_!
so shall Moab
<04124>
be a derision
<07814>
and a dismaying
<04288>
to all them about
<05439>
him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, he shall fly
<01675> (8799)
as an eagle
<05404>_,
and shall spread
<06566> (8804)
his wings
<03671>
over Moab
<04124>_.
Kerioth
<07152>
is taken
<03920> (8738)_,
and the strong holds
<04679>
are surprised
<08610> (8738)_,
and the mighty men's
<01368>
hearts
<03820>
in Moab
<04124>
at that day
<03117>
shall be as the heart
<03820>
of a woman
<0802>
in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.
{Kerioth: or, The cities}
And Moab
<04124>
shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)
from [being] a people
<05971>_,
because he hath magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_.
Fear
<06343>_,
and the pit
<06354>_,
and the snare
<06341>_,
[shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Moab
<04124>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
He that fleeth
<05127> (8801) (8675) <05211>
from
<06440>
the fear
<06343>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
into the pit
<06354>_;
and he that getteth up
<05927> (8802)
out of the pit
<06354>
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)
in the snare
<06341>_:
for I will bring
<0935> (8686)
upon it, [even] upon Moab
<04124>_,
the year
<08141>
of their visitation
<06486>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
They that fled
<05127> (8801)
stood
<05975> (8804)
under the shadow
<06738>
of Heshbon
<02809>
because of the force
<03581>_:
but a fire
<0784>
shall come forth
<03318> (8804)
out of Heshbon
<02809>_,
and a flame
<03852>
from the midst
<0996>
of Sihon
<05511>_,
and shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the corner
<06285>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the crown of the head
<06936>
of the tumultuous
<07588>
ones
<01121>_.
{tumultuous...: Heb. children of noise}
Woe
<0188>
be unto thee, O Moab
<04124>_!
the people
<05971>
of Chemosh
<03645>
perisheth
<06> (8804)_:
for thy sons
<01121>
are taken
<03947> (8795)
captives
<07628>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
captives
<07633>_.
{captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring again
<07725> (8804)
the captivity
<07622>
of Moab
<04124>
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus far
<02008>
[is] the judgment
<04941>
of Moab
<04124>_.
Concerning the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Hath Israel
<03478>
no sons
<01121>_?
hath he no heir
<03423> (8802)_?
why [then] doth their king
<04428>
inherit
<03423> (8804)
Gad
<01410>_,
and his people
<05971>
dwell
<03427> (8804)
in his cities
<05892>_?
{Concerning: or, Against} {their king: or, Melcom}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will cause an alarm
<08643>
of war
<04421>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)
in Rabbah
<07237>
of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_;
and it shall be a desolate
<08077>
heap
<08510>_,
and her daughters
<01323>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_:
then shall Israel
<03478>
be heir
<03423> (8804)
unto them that were his heirs
<03423> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O Heshbon
<02809>_,
for Ai
<05857>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
cry
<06817> (8798)_,
ye daughters
<01323>
of Rabbah
<07237>_,
gird
<02296> (8798)
you with sackcloth
<08242>_;
lament
<05594> (8798)_,
and run to and fro
<07751> (8708)
by the hedges
<01448>_;
for their king
<04428>
shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<01473>_,
[and] his priests
<03548>
and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_.
{their king: or, Melcom}
Wherefore gloriest
<01984> (8691)
thou in the valleys
<06010>_,
thy flowing
<02100> (8802)
valley
<06010>_,
O backsliding
<07728>
daughter
<01323>_?
that trusted
<0982> (8802)
in her treasures
<0214>_,
[saying], Who shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto me? {thy...: or, thy valley floweth away}
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
a fear
<06343>
upon thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
from all those that be about
<05439>
thee; and ye shall be driven out
<05080> (8738)
every man
<0376>
right forth
<06440>_;
and none shall gather up
<06908> (8764)
him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.
And afterward
<0310>
I will bring again
<07725> (8686)
the captivity
<07622>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Concerning Edom
<0123>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
[Is] wisdom
<02451>
no more in Teman
<08487>_?
is counsel
<06098>
perished
<06> (8804)
from the prudent
<0995> (8801)_?
is their wisdom
<02451>
vanished
<05628> (8738)_?
Flee
<05127> (8798)
ye, turn back
<06437> (8717)_,
dwell
<03427> (8800)
deep
<06009> (8689)_,
O inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Dedan
<01719>_;
for I will bring
<0935> (8689)
the calamity
<0343>
of Esau
<06215>
upon him, the time
<06256>
[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)
him. {turn...: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherers
<01219> (8802)
come
<0935> (8804)
to thee, would they not leave
<07604> (8686)
[some] gleaning grapes
<05955>_?
if thieves
<01590>
by night
<03915>_,
they will destroy
<07843> (8689)
till they have enough
<01767>_.
{till...: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made Esau
<06215>
bare
<02834> (8804)_,
I have uncovered
<01540> (8765)
his secret places
<04565>_,
and he shall not be able
<03201> (8799)
to hide
<02247> (8736)
himself: his seed
<02233>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and his neighbours
<07934>_,
and he [is] not.
Leave
<05800> (8798)
thy fatherless children
<03490>_,
I will preserve [them] alive
<02421> (8762)_;
and let thy widows
<0490>
trust
<0982> (8799)
in me.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, they whose judgment
<04941>
[was] not to drink
<08354> (8800)
of the cup
<03563>
have assuredly
<08354> (8800)
drunken
<08354> (8799)_;
and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether
<05352> (8800)
go unpunished
<05352> (8735)_?
thou shalt not go unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,
but thou shalt surely
<08354> (8800)
drink
<08354> (8799)
[of it].
For I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by myself, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that Bozrah
<01224>
shall become a desolation
<08047>_,
a reproach
<02781>_,
a waste
<02721>_,
and a curse
<07045>_;
and all the cities
<05892>
thereof shall be perpetual
<05769>
wastes
<02723>_.
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
a rumour
<08052>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and an ambassador
<06735>
is sent
<07971> (8803)
unto the heathen
<01471>_,
[saying], Gather ye together
<06908> (8690)_,
and come
<0935> (8798)
against her, and rise up
<06965> (8798)
to the battle
<04421>_.
For, lo, I will make
<05414> (8804)
thee small
<06996>
among the heathen
<01471>_,
[and] despised
<0959> (8803)
among men
<0120>_.
Thy terribleness
<08606>
hath deceived
<05377> (8689)
thee, [and] the pride
<02087>
of thine heart
<03820>_,
O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802)
in the clefts
<02288>
of the rock
<05553>_,
that holdest
<08610> (8802)
the height
<04791>
of the hill
<01389>_:
though thou shouldest make thy nest
<07064>
as high
<01361> (8686)
as the eagle
<05404>_,
I will bring thee down
<03381> (8686)
from thence, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Also Edom
<0123>
shall be a desolation
<08047>_:
every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)
by it shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and shall hiss
<08319> (8799)
at all the plagues
<04347>
thereof.
As in the overthrow
<04114>
of Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
and the neighbour
<07934>
[cities] thereof, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
no man
<0376>
shall abide
<03427> (8799)
there, neither shall a son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
in it.
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
like a lion
<0738>
from the swelling
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
against the habitation
<05116>
of the strong
<0386>_:
but I will suddenly
<07280> (8686)
make him run away
<07323> (8686)
from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)
[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)
over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?
and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)
that will stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me? {appoint me...: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)
against Edom
<0123>_;
and his purposes
<04284>_,
that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Teman
<08487>_:
Surely the least
<06810>
of the flock
<06629>
shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:
surely he shall make their habitations
<05116>
desolate
<08074> (8686)
with them.
The earth
<0776>
is moved
<07493> (8804)
at the noise
<06963>
of their fall
<05307> (8800)_,
at the cry
<06818>
the noise
<06963>
thereof was heard
<08085> (8738)
in the Red
<05488>
sea
<03220>_.
{Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
and fly
<01675> (8799)
as the eagle
<05404>_,
and spread
<06566> (8799)
his wings
<03671>
over Bozrah
<01224>_:
and at that day
<03117>
shall the heart
<03820>
of the mighty men
<01368>
of Edom
<0123>
be as the heart
<03820>
of a woman
<0802>
in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.
Concerning Damascus
<01834>_.
Hamath
<02574>
is confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
and Arpad
<0774>_:
for they have heard
<08085> (8804)
evil
<07451>
tidings
<08052>_:
they are fainthearted
<04127> (8738)_;
[there is] sorrow
<01674>
on the sea
<03220>_;
it cannot
<03201> (8799)
be quiet
<08252> (8687)_.
{fainthearted: Heb. melted} {on...: or, as on the sea}
Damascus
<01834>
is waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_,
[and] turneth
<06437> (8689)
herself to flee
<05127> (8800)_,
and fear
<07374>
hath seized
<02388> (8689)
on [her]: anguish
<06869>
and sorrows
<02256>
have taken
<0270> (8804)
her, as a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
How is the city
<05892>
of praise
<08416>
not left
<05800> (8795)_,
the city
<07151>
of my joy
<04885>_!
Therefore her young men
<0970>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in her streets
<07339>_,
and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in the wall
<02346>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
and it shall consume
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
of Benhadad
<01130>_.
Concerning Kedar
<06938>_,
and concerning the kingdoms
<04467>
of Hazor
<02674>_,
which Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall smite
<05221> (8689)_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Arise
<06965> (8798)
ye, go up
<05927> (8798)
to Kedar
<06938>_,
and spoil
<07703> (8798)
the men
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
Their tents
<0168>
and their flocks
<06629>
shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_:
they shall take
<05375> (8799)
to themselves their curtains
<03407>_,
and all their vessels
<03627>_,
and their camels
<01581>_;
and they shall cry
<07121> (8804)
unto them, Fear
<04032>
[is] on every side
<05439>_.
Flee
<05127> (8798)_,
get
<05110> (8798)
you far off
<03966>_,
dwell
<03427> (8800)
deep
<06009> (8689)_,
O ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Hazor
<02674>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
for Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath taken counsel
<06098> <03289> (8804)
against you, and hath conceived
<02803> (8804)
a purpose
<04284>
against you. {get...: Heb. flit greatly}
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get you up
<05927> (8798)
unto the wealthy
<07961>
nation
<01471>_,
that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
without care
<0983>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which have neither gates
<01817>
nor bars
<01280>_,
[which] dwell
<07931> (8799)
alone
<0910>_.
{wealthy: or, that is at ease}
And their camels
<01581>
shall be a booty
<0957>_,
and the multitude
<01995>
of their cattle
<04735>
a spoil
<07998>_:
and I will scatter
<02219> (8765)
into all winds
<07307>
them [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)
corners
<06285>_;
and I will bring
<0935> (8686)
their calamity
<0343>
from all sides
<05676>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{in...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, that have the corners of their hair polled}
And Hazor
<02674>
shall be a dwelling
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
[and] a desolation
<08077>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
there shall no man
<0376>
abide
<03427> (8799)
there, nor [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
in it.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against Elam
<05867>
in the beginning
<07225>
of the reign
<04438>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Behold, I will break
<07665> (8799)
the bow
<07198>
of Elam
<05867>_,
the chief
<07225>
of their might
<01369>_.
And upon Elam
<05867>
will I bring
<0935> (8689)
the four
<0702>
winds
<07307>
from the four
<0702>
quarters
<07098>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and will scatter
<02219> (8765)
them toward all those winds
<07307>_;
and there shall be no nation
<01471>
whither the outcasts
<05080> (8737)
of Elam
<05867> (8675) <05769>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.
For I will cause Elam
<05867>
to be dismayed
<02865> (8689)
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and before
<06440>
them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_:
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
evil
<07451>
upon them, [even] my fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will send
<07971> (8765)
the sword
<02719>
after
<0310>
them, till I have consumed
<03615> (8763)
them:
And I will set
<07760> (8804)
my throne
<03678>
in Elam
<05867>_,
and will destroy
<06> (8689)
from thence the king
<04428>
and the princes
<08269>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
But it shall come to pass in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
[that] I will bring again
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)
the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>
of Elam
<05867>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
against Babylon
<0894>
[and] against the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
by
<03027>
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_.
{by...: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
Declare
<05046> (8685)
ye among the nations
<01471>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)_,
and set up
<05375> (8798)
a standard
<05251>_;
publish
<08085> (8685)_,
[and] conceal
<03582> (8762)
not: say
<0559> (8798)_,
Babylon
<0894>
is taken
<03920> (8738)_,
Bel
<01078>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)_,
Merodach
<04781>
is broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_;
her idols
<06091>
are confounded
<03001> (8689)_,
her images
<01544>
are broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_.
{set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the north
<06828>
there cometh up
<05927> (8804)
a nation
<01471>
against her, which shall make
<07896> (8799)
her land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_,
and none shall dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein: they shall remove
<05110> (8804)_,
they shall depart
<01980> (8804)_,
both man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
they and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
together
<03162>_,
going
<01980> (8800)
and weeping
<01058> (8800)_:
they shall go
<03212> (8799)_,
and seek
<01245> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
They shall ask
<07592> (8799)
the way
<01870>
to Zion
<06726>
with their faces
<06440>
thitherward
<02008>_,
[saying], Come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us join
<03867> (8738)
ourselves to the LORD
<03068>
in a perpetual
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
[that] shall not be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.
My people
<05971>
hath been lost
<06> (8802)
sheep
<06629>_:
their shepherds
<07462> (8802)
have caused them to go astray
<08582> (8689)_,
they have turned them away
<07725> (8790) (8675) <07726>
[on] the mountains
<02022>_:
they have gone
<01980> (8804)
from mountain
<02022>
to hill
<01389>_,
they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
their restingplace
<07258>_.
{restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that found
<04672> (8802)
them have devoured
<0398> (8804)
them: and their adversaries
<06862>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
We offend
<0816> (8799)
not, because they have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
the habitation
<05116>
of justice
<06664>_,
even the LORD
<03068>_,
the hope
<04723>
of their fathers
<01>_.
Remove
<05110> (8798)
out of the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and go forth
<03318> (8798) (8675) <03318> (8799)
out of the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and be as the he goats
<06260>
before
<06440>
the flocks
<06629>_.
For, lo, I will raise
<05782> (8688)
and cause to come up
<05927> (8688)
against Babylon
<0894>
an assembly
<06951>
of great
<01419>
nations
<01471>
from the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_:
and they shall set themselves in array
<06186> (8804)
against her; from thence she shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_:
their arrows
<02671>
[shall be] as of a mighty
<01368>
expert man
<07919> (8688) (8676) <07921> (8688)_;
none shall return
<07725> (8799)
in vain
<07387>_.
{expert...: or, destroyer}
And Chaldea
<03778>
shall be a spoil
<07998>_:
all that spoil
<07997> (8802)
her shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Because ye were glad
<08055> (8799)_,
because ye rejoiced
<05937> (8799)_,
O ye destroyers
<08154> (8802)
of mine heritage
<05159>_,
because ye are grown fat
<06335> (8799)
as the heifer
<05697>
at grass
<01877> (8676) <01758> (8801)_,
and bellow
<06670> (8799)
as bulls
<047>_;
{fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow...: or, neigh as steeds}
Your mother
<0517>
shall be sore
<03966>
confounded
<0954> (8804)_;
she that bare
<03205> (8802)
you shall be ashamed
<02659> (8804)_:
behold, the hindermost
<0319>
of the nations
<01471>
[shall be] a wilderness
<04057>_,
a dry land
<06723>_,
and a desert
<06160>_.
Because of the wrath
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
it shall not be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,
but it shall be wholly desolate
<08077>_:
every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)
by Babylon
<0894>
shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and hiss
<08319> (8799)
at all her plagues
<04347>_.
Put yourselves in array
<06186> (8798)
against Babylon
<0894>
round about
<05439>_:
all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
shoot
<03034> (8798)
at her, spare
<02550> (8799)
no arrows
<02671>_:
for she hath sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
Shout
<07321> (8685)
against her round about
<05439>_:
she hath given
<05414> (8804)
her hand
<03027>_:
her foundations
<0803>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
her walls
<02346>
are thrown down
<02040> (8738)_:
for it [is] the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
take vengeance
<05358> (8734)
upon her; as she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
unto her.
Cut off
<03772> (8798)
the sower
<02232> (8802)
from Babylon
<0894>_,
and him that handleth
<08610> (8802)
the sickle
<04038>
in the time
<06256>
of harvest
<07105>_:
for fear
<06440>
of the oppressing
<03238> (8802)
sword
<02719>
they shall turn
<06437> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his people
<05971>_,
and they shall flee
<05127> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his own land
<0776>_.
{sickle; or, scythe}
Israel
<03478>
[is] a scattered
<06340> (8801)
sheep
<07716>_;
the lions
<0738>
have driven [him] away
<05080> (8689)_:
first
<07223>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him; and last
<0314>
this Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath broken his bones
<06105> (8765)_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
and his land
<0776>_,
as I have punished
<06485> (8804)
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And I will bring
<07725> (0)
Israel
<03478>
again
<07725> (8790)
to his habitation
<05116>_,
and he shall feed
<07462> (8804)
on Carmel
<03760>
and Bashan
<01316>_,
and his soul
<05315>
shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)
upon mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>
and Gilead
<01568>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the iniquity
<05771>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be sought for
<01245> (8792)_,
and [there shall be] none; and the sins
<02403>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and they shall not be found
<04672> (8735)_:
for I will pardon
<05545> (8799)
them whom I reserve
<07604> (8686)_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)
against the land
<0776>
of Merathaim
<04850>_,
[even] against it, and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Pekod
<06489>_:
waste
<02717> (8798)
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)
after
<0310>
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A sound
<06963>
of battle
<04421>
[is] in the land
<0776>_,
and of great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
How is the hammer
<06360>
of the whole earth
<0776>
cut asunder
<01438> (8738)
and broken
<07665> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become a desolation
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
I have laid a snare
<03369> (8804)
for thee, and thou art also taken
<03920> (8738)_,
O Babylon
<0894>_,
and thou wast not aware
<03045> (8804)_:
thou art found
<04672> (8738)_,
and also caught
<08610> (8738)_,
because thou hast striven
<01624> (8694)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath opened
<06605> (8804)
his armoury
<0214>_,
and hath brought forth
<03318> (8686)
the weapons
<03627>
of his indignation
<02195>_:
for this [is] the work
<04399>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
Come
<0935> (8798)
against her from the utmost border
<07093>_,
open
<06605> (8798)
her storehouses
<03965>_:
cast her up
<05549> (8798)
as heaps
<06194>_,
and destroy her utterly
<02763> (8685)_:
let nothing of her be left
<07611>_.
{from...: Heb. from the end} {cast...: or, tread her}
Slay
<02717> (8798)
all her bullocks
<06499>_;
let them go down
<03381> (8799)
to the slaughter
<02874>_:
woe
<01945>
unto them! for their day
<03117>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>_.
The voice
<06963>
of them that flee
<05127> (8801)
and escape out
<06405>
of the land
<0776>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
to declare
<05046> (8687)
in Zion
<06726>
the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
the vengeance
<05360>
of his temple
<01964>_.
Call together
<08085> (8685)
the archers
<07228>
against Babylon
<0894>_:
all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
camp
<02583> (8798)
against it round about
<05439>_;
let none thereof escape
<06413>_:
recompense
<07999> (8761)
her according to her work
<06467>_;
according to all that she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
unto her: for she hath been proud
<02102> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Therefore shall her young men
<0970>
fall
<05307> (8799)
in the streets
<07339>_,
and all her men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud
<02087>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_:
for thy day
<03117>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
the time
<06256>
[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)
thee. {most...: Heb. pride}
And the most proud
<02087>
shall stumble
<03782> (8804)
and fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and none shall raise him up
<06965> (8688)_:
and I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in his cities
<05892>_,
and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)
all round about
<05439>
him. {the...: Heb. pride}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
[were] oppressed
<06231> (8803)
together
<03162>_:
and all that took them captives
<07617> (8802)
held them fast
<02388> (8689)_;
they refused
<03985> (8765)
to let them go
<07971> (8763)_.
Their Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
[is] strong
<02389>_;
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_:
he shall throughly
<07378> (8800)
plead
<07378> (8799)
their cause
<07379>_,
that he may give rest
<07280> (8689)
to the land
<0776>_,
and disquiet
<07264> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_.
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and upon her princes
<08269>_,
and upon her wise
<02450>
[men].
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon the liars
<0907>_;
and they shall dote
<02973> (8738)_:
a sword
<02719>
[is] upon her mighty men
<01368>_;
and they shall be dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.
{liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon their horses
<05483>_,
and upon their chariots
<07393>_,
and upon all the mingled people
<06153>
that [are] in the midst
<08432>
of her; and they shall become as women
<0802>_:
a sword
<02719>
[is] upon her treasures
<0214>_;
and they shall be robbed
<0962> (8795)_.
A drought
<02721>
[is] upon her waters
<04325>_;
and they shall be dried up
<03001> (8804)_:
for it [is] the land
<0776>
of graven images
<06456>_,
and they are mad
<01984> (8704)
upon [their] idols
<0367>_.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
with the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
[there], and the owls
<01323> <03284>
shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
therein: and it shall be no more inhabited
<03427> (8799)
for ever
<05331>_;
neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)
in from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_.
As God
<0430>
overthrew
<04114>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
and the neighbour
<07934>
[cities] thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
[so] shall no man
<0376>
abide
<03427> (8799)
there, neither shall any son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
therein.
Behold, a people
<05971>
shall come
<0935> (8802)
from the north
<06828>_,
and a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_,
and many
<07227>
kings
<04428>
shall be raised up
<05782> (8735)
from the coasts
<03411>
of the earth
<0776>_.
They shall hold
<02388> (8686)
the bow
<07198>
and the lance
<03591>_:
they [are] cruel
<0394>_,
and will not shew mercy
<07355> (8762)_:
their voice
<06963>
shall roar
<01993> (8799)
like the sea
<03220>_,
and they shall ride
<07392> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_,
[every one] put in array
<06186> (8803)_,
like a man
<0376>
to the battle
<04421>_,
against thee, O daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
The king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
the report
<08088>
of them, and his hands
<03027>
waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_:
anguish
<06869>
took hold
<02388> (8689)
of him, [and] pangs
<02427>
as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
like a lion
<0738>
from the swelling
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
unto the habitation
<05116>
of the strong
<0386>_:
but I will make
<07323> (0)
them suddenly
<07280> (8686)
run away
<07323> (8686) (8675) <07323> (8799)
from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)
[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)
over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?
and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)
that will stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me? {appoint me...: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)
against Babylon
<0894>_;
and his purposes
<04284>_,
that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
against the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Surely the least
<06810>
of the flock
<06629>
shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:
surely he shall make [their] habitation
<05116>
desolate
<08074> (8686)
with them.
At the noise
<06963>
of the taking
<08610> (8738)
of Babylon
<0894>
the earth
<0776>
is moved
<07493> (8735)_,
and the cry
<02201>
is heard
<08085> (8738)
among the nations
<01471>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will raise up
<05782> (8688)
against Babylon
<0894>_,
and against them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the midst
<03820>
of them that rise up
<06965> (8801)
against me, a destroying
<07843> (8688)
wind
<07307>_;
{midst: Heb. heart}
And will send
<07971> (8765)
unto Babylon
<0894>
fanners
<02114> (8801)_,
that shall fan
<02219> (8765)
her, and shall empty
<01238> (8787)
her land
<0776>_:
for in the day
<03117>
of trouble
<07451>
they shall be against her round about
<05439>_.
Against [him that] bendeth
<01869> (0)
let the archer
<01869> (8802)
bend
<01869> (8799)
his bow
<07198>_,
and against [him that] lifteth himself up
<05927> (8691)
in his brigandine
<05630>_:
and spare
<02550> (8799)
ye not her young men
<0970>_;
destroy ye utterly
<02763> (8685)
all her host
<06635>_.
Thus the slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and [they that are] thrust through
<01856> (8794)
in her streets
<02351>_.
For Israel
<03478>
[hath] not [been] forsaken
<0488>_,
nor Judah
<03063>
of his God
<0430>_,
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
though their land
<0776>
was filled
<04390> (8804)
with sin
<0817>
against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Flee out
<05127> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and deliver
<04422> (8761)
every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>_:
be not cut off
<01826> (8735)
in her iniquity
<05771>_;
for this [is] the time
<06256>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
vengeance
<05360>_;
he will render
<07999> (8764)
unto her a recompence
<01576>_.
Babylon
<0894>
[hath been] a golden
<02091>
cup
<03563>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
hand
<03027>_,
that made all the earth
<0776>
drunken
<07937> (8764)_:
the nations
<01471>
have drunken
<08354> (8804)
of her wine
<03196>_;
therefore the nations
<01471>
are mad
<01984> (8704)_.
Babylon
<0894>
is suddenly
<06597>
fallen
<05307> (8804)
and destroyed
<07665> (8735)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)
for her; take
<03947> (8798)
balm
<06875>
for her pain
<04341>_,
if so be she may be healed
<07495> (8735)_.
We would have healed
<07495> (8765)
Babylon
<0894>_,
but she is not healed
<07495> (8738)_:
forsake
<05800> (8798)
her, and let us go
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
into his own country
<0776>_:
for her judgment
<04941>
reacheth
<05060> (8804)
unto heaven
<08064>_,
and is lifted up
<05375> (8738)
[even] to the skies
<07834>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath brought forth
<03318> (8689)
our righteousness
<06666>_:
come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us declare
<05608> (8762)
in Zion
<06726>
the work
<04639>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
Make bright
<01305> (8685)
the arrows
<02671>_;
gather
<04390> (8798)
the shields
<07982>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath raised up
<05782> (8689)
the spirit
<07307>
of the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_:
for his device
<04209>
[is] against Babylon
<0894>_,
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
it; because it [is] the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the vengeance
<05360>
of his temple
<01964>_.
{bright: Heb. pure}
Set up
<05375> (8798)
the standard
<05251>
upon the walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
make the watch
<04929>
strong
<02388> (8685)_,
set up
<06965> (8685)
the watchmen
<08104> (8802)_,
prepare
<03559> (8685)
the ambushes
<0693> (8802)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath both devised
<02161> (8804)
and done
<06213> (8804)
that which he spake
<01696> (8765)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_.
{ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}
O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802) (8675) <07931> (8804)
upon many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
abundant
<07227>
in treasures
<0214>_,
thine end
<07093>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
[and] the measure
<0520>
of thy covetousness
<01215>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
by himself
<05315>_,
[saying], Surely I will fill
<04390> (8765)
thee with men
<0120>_,
as with caterpillers
<03218>_;
and they shall lift up
<06030> (8804)
a shout
<01959>
against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}
He hath made
<06213> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
by his power
<03581>_,
he hath established
<03559> (8688)
the world
<08398>
by his wisdom
<02451>_,
and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)
the heaven
<08064>
by his understanding
<08394>_.
When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)
[his] voice
<06963>_,
[there is] a multitude
<01995>
of waters
<04325>
in the heavens
<08064>_;
and he causeth the vapours
<05387>
to ascend
<05927> (8686)
from the ends
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_:
he maketh
<06213> (8804)
lightnings
<01300>
with rain
<04306>_,
and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)
the wind
<07307>
out of his treasures
<0214>_.
{multitude: or, noise}
Every man
<0120>
is brutish
<01197> (8738)
by [his] knowledge
<01847>_;
every founder
<06884> (8802)
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
by the graven image
<06459>_:
for his molten image
<05262>
[is] falsehood
<08267>_,
and [there is] no breath
<07307>
in them. {is brutish...: or, is more brutish than to know}
They [are] vanity
<01892>_,
the work
<04639>
of errors
<08595>_:
in the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>
they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.
The portion
<02506>
of Jacob
<03290>
[is] not like them; for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)
of all things: and [Israel is] the rod
<07626>
of his inheritance
<05159>_:
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_.
Thou [art] my battle axe
<04661>
[and] weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_:
for with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the nations
<01471>_,
and with thee will I destroy
<07843> (8689)
kingdoms
<04467>_;
{with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the horse
<05483>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the chariot
<07393>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;
With thee also will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
old
<02205>
and young
<05288>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the young man
<0970>
and the maid
<01330>_;
I will also break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
with thee the shepherd
<07462> (8802)
and his flock
<05739>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the husbandman
<0406>
and his yoke of oxen
<06776>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
captains
<06346>
and rulers
<05461>_.
And I will render
<07999> (8765)
unto Babylon
<0894>
and to all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>
all their evil
<07451>
that they have done
<06213> (8804)
in Zion
<06726>
in your sight
<05869>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying
<04889>
mountain
<02022>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which destroyest
<07843> (8688)
all the earth
<0776>_:
and I will stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon thee, and roll thee down
<01556> (8773)
from the rocks
<05553>_,
and will make
<05414> (8804)
thee a burnt
<08316>
mountain
<02022>_.
And they shall not take
<03947> (8799)
of thee a stone
<068>
for a corner
<06438>_,
nor a stone
<068>
for foundations
<04146>_;
but thou shalt be desolate
<08077>
for ever
<05769>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{desolate...: Heb. everlasting desolations}
Set ye up
<05375> (8798)
a standard
<05251>
in the land
<0776>_,
blow
<08628> (8798)
the trumpet
<07782>
among the nations
<01471>_,
prepare
<06942> (8761)
the nations
<01471>
against her, call together
<08085> (8685)
against her the kingdoms
<04467>
of Ararat
<0780>_,
Minni
<04508>_,
and Ashchenaz
<0813>_;
appoint
<06485> (8798)
a captain
<02951>
against her; cause the horses
<05483>
to come up
<05927> (8685)
as the rough
<05569>
caterpillers
<03218>_.
Prepare
<06942> (8761)
against her the nations
<01471>
with the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_,
the captains
<06346>
thereof, and all the rulers
<05461>
thereof, and all the land
<0776>
of his dominion
<04475>_.
And the land
<0776>
shall tremble
<07493> (8799)
and sorrow
<02342> (8799)_:
for every purpose
<04284>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be performed
<06965> (8804)
against Babylon
<0894>_,
to make
<07760> (8800)
the land
<0776>
of Babylon
<0894>
a desolation
<08047>
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
The mighty men
<01368>
of Babylon
<0894>
have forborn
<02308> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)_,
they have remained
<03427> (8804)
in [their] holds
<04679>_:
their might
<01369>
hath failed
<05405> (8804)_;
they became as women
<0802>_:
they have burned
<03341> (8689)
her dwellingplaces
<04908>_;
her bars
<01280>
are broken
<07665> (8738)_.
One post
<07323> (8801)
shall run
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
another
<07323> (8801)_,
and one messenger
<05046> (8688)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
another
<05046> (8688)_,
to shew
<05046> (8687)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
that his city
<05892>
is taken
<03920> (8738)
at [one] end
<07097>_,
And that the passages
<04569>
are stopped
<08610> (8738)_,
and the reeds
<098>
they have burned
<08313> (8804)
with fire
<0784>_,
and the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
are affrighted
<0926> (8738)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
The daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>
[is] like a threshingfloor
<01637>_,
[it is] time
<06256>
to thresh
<01869> (8687)
her: yet a little while
<04592>_,
and the time
<06256>
of her harvest
<07105>
shall come
<0935> (8804)_.
{it is...: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
me, he hath crushed
<02000> (8804)
me, he hath made
<03322> (8689)
me an empty
<07385>
vessel
<03627>_,
he hath swallowed me up
<01104> (8804)
like a dragon
<08577>_,
he hath filled
<04390> (8765)
his belly
<03770>
with my delicates
<05730>_,
he hath cast me out
<01740> (8689)_.
The violence
<02555>
done to me and to my flesh
<07607>
[be] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
shall the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Zion
<06726>
say
<0559> (8799)_;
and my blood
<01818>
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>_,
shall Jerusalem
<03389>
say
<0559> (8799)_.
{The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will plead
<07378> (8801)
thy cause
<07379>_,
and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)
for thee
<05360>_;
and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)
her sea
<03220>_,
and make her springs
<04726>
dry
<03001> (8689)_.
And Babylon
<0894>
shall become heaps
<01530>_,
a dwellingplace
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
an astonishment
<08047>_,
and an hissing
<08322>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
They shall roar
<07580> (8799)
together
<03162>
like lions
<03715>_:
they shall yell
<05286> (8804)
as lions
<0738>_'
whelps
<01484>_.
{yell: or, shake themselves}
In their heat
<02527>
I will make
<07896> (8799)
their feasts
<04960>_,
and I will make them drunken
<07937> (8689)_,
that they may rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,
and sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will bring them down
<03381> (8686)
like lambs
<03733>
to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,
like rams
<0352>
with he goats
<06260>_.
How is Sheshach
<08347>
taken
<03920> (8738)_!
and how is the praise
<08416>
of the whole earth
<0776>
surprised
<08610> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become an astonishment
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
The sea
<03220>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
upon Babylon
<0894>_:
she is covered
<03680> (8738)
with the multitude
<01995>
of the waves
<01530>
thereof.
Her cities
<05892>
are a desolation
<08047>_,
a dry
<06723>
land
<0776>_,
and a wilderness
<06160>_,
a land
<0776>
wherein no man
<0376>
dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,
neither doth [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
pass
<05674> (8799)
thereby
<02004>_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
Bel
<01078>
in Babylon
<0894>_,
and I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)
out of his mouth
<06310>
that which he hath swallowed up
<01105>_:
and the nations
<01471>
shall not flow together
<05102> (8799)
any more unto him: yea, the wall
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)_.
My people
<05971>_,
go ye out
<03318> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of her, and deliver
<04422> (8761)
ye every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>
from the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And lest your heart
<03824>
faint
<07401> (8735)_,
and ye fear
<03372> (8799)
for the rumour
<08052>
that shall be heard
<08085> (8737)
in the land
<0776>_;
a rumour
<08052>
shall both come
<0935> (8804)
[one] year
<08141>_,
and after
<0310>
that in [another] year
<08141>
[shall come] a rumour
<08052>_,
and violence
<02555>
in the land
<0776>_,
ruler
<04910> (8802)
against ruler
<04910> (8802)_.
{lest: or, let not}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon the graven images
<06456>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
and her whole land
<0776>
shall be confounded
<0954> (8799)_,
and all her slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}
Then the heaven
<08064>
and the earth
<0776>_,
and all that [is] therein, shall sing
<07442> (8765)
for Babylon
<0894>_:
for the spoilers
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto her from the north
<06828>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
As
<01571>
Babylon
<0894>
[hath caused] the slain
<02491>
of Israel
<03478>
to fall
<05307> (8800)_,
so at Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
the slain
<02491>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}
Ye that have escaped
<06405>
the sword
<02719>_,
go away
<01980> (8798)_,
stand not still
<05975> (8799)_:
remember
<02142> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>
afar off
<07350>_,
and let Jerusalem
<03389>
come
<05927> (8799)
into your mind
<03824>_.
We are confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
because we have heard
<08085> (8804)
reproach
<02781>_:
shame
<03639>
hath covered
<03680> (8765)
our faces
<06440>_:
for strangers
<02114> (8801)
are come
<0935> (8804)
into the sanctuaries
<04720>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
Wherefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon her graven images
<06456>_:
and through all her land
<0776>
the wounded
<02491>
shall groan
<0602> (8799)_.
Though Babylon
<0894>
should mount up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_,
and though she should fortify
<01219> (8762)
the height
<04791>
of her strength
<05797>_,
[yet]
<0227>
from me shall spoilers
<07703> (8802)
come
<0935> (8799)
unto her, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
A sound
<06963>
of a cry
<02201>
[cometh] from Babylon
<0894>_,
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>
from the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath spoiled
<07703> (8802)
Babylon
<0894>_,
and destroyed
<06> (8765)
out of her the great
<01419>
voice
<06963>_;
when her waves
<01530>
do roar
<01993> (8804)
like great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
a noise
<07588>
of their voice
<06963>
is uttered
<05414> (8738)_:
Because the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon her, [even] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>
are taken
<03920> (8738)_,
every one of their bows
<07198>
is broken
<02865> (8765)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0410>
of recompences
<01578>
shall surely
<07999> (8763)
requite
<07999> (8762)_.
And I will make drunk
<07937> (8689)
her princes
<08269>_,
and her wise
<02450>
[men], her captains
<06346>_,
and her rulers
<05461>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>_:
and they shall sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The broad
<07342>
walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall be utterly
<06209> (8771)
broken
<06209> (8698)_,
and her high
<01364>
gates
<08179>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_;
and the people
<05971>
shall labour
<03021> (8799)
in vain
<07385>_,
and the folk
<03816>
in
<01767>
the fire
<0784>_,
and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
{The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
The word
<01697>
which Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04271>_,
when he went
<03212> (8800)
with Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into Babylon
<0894>
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.
And [this] Seraiah
<08304>
[was] a quiet
<04496>
prince
<08269>_.
{with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet...: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}
So Jeremiah
<03414>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
in a
<0259>
book
<05612>
all the evil
<07451>
that should come
<0935> (8799)
upon Babylon
<0894>_,
[even] all these words
<01697>
that are written
<03789> (8803)
against Babylon
<0894>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Seraiah
<08304>_,
When thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and shalt see
<07200> (8804)_,
and shalt read
<07121> (8804)
all these words
<01697>_;
Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
against this place
<04725>_,
to cut it off
<03772> (8687)_,
that none shall remain
<03427> (8802)
in it, neither man
<0120>
nor beast
<0929>_,
but that it shall be desolate
<08077>
for ever
<05769>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)
of reading
<07121> (8800)
this book
<05612>_,
[that] thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)
a stone
<068>
to it, and cast
<07993> (8689)
it into the midst
<08432>
of Euphrates
<06578>_:
And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus shall Babylon
<0894>
sink
<08257> (8799)_,
and shall not rise
<06965> (8799)
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon her: and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
Thus far [are] the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_.

Amos 1:1-15

The words
<01697>
of Amos
<05986>_,
who was among the herdmen
<05349>
of Tekoa
<08620>_,
which he saw
<02372> (8804)
concerning Israel
<03478>
in the days
<03117>
of Uzziah
<05818>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the days
<03117>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
two years
<08141>
before
<06440>
the earthquake
<07494>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
will roar
<07580> (8799)
from Zion
<06726>_,
and utter
<05414> (8799)
his voice
<06963>
from Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and the habitations
<04999>
of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
shall mourn
<056> (8804)_,
and the top
<07218>
of Carmel
<03760>
shall wither
<03001> (8804)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
For three
<07969>
transgressions
<06588>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
and for four
<0702>_,
I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)
[the punishment] thereof; because they have threshed
<01758> (8800)
Gilead
<01568>
with threshing instruments
<02742>
of iron
<01270>_:
{and...: or, yea, for four} {turn...: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}
But I will send
<07971> (8765)
a fire
<0784>
into the house
<01004>
of Hazael
<02371>_,
which shall devour
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
of Benhadad
<01130>_.
I will break
<07665> (8804)
also the bar
<01280>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
and cut off
<03772> (8689)
the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
from the plain
<01237>
of Aven
<0206>_,
and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)
the sceptre
<07626>
from the house
<01004>
of Eden
<05731> (8677) <01040>_:
and the people
<05971>
of Syria
<0758>
shall go into captivity
<01540> (8804)
unto Kir
<07024>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{the plain...: or, Bikathaven} {the house...: or, Betheden}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
For three
<07969>
transgressions
<06588>
of Gaza
<05804>_,
and for four
<0702>_,
I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)
[the punishment] thereof; because they carried away captive
<01540> (8687)
the whole
<08003>
captivity
<01546>_,
to deliver [them] up
<05462> (8687)
to Edom
<0123>_:
{away captive...: or, them away with an entire}
But I will send
<07971> (8765)
a fire
<0784>
on the wall
<02346>
of Gaza
<05804>_,
which shall devour
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
thereof:
And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)
the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
from Ashdod
<0795>_,
and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)
the sceptre
<07626>
from Ashkelon
<0831>_,
and I will turn
<07725> (8689)
mine hand
<03027>
against Ekron
<06138>_:
and the remnant
<07611>
of the Philistines
<06430>
shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
For three
<07969>
transgressions
<06588>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
and for four
<0702>_,
I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)
[the punishment] thereof; because they delivered up
<05462> (8687)
the whole
<08003>
captivity
<01546>
to Edom
<0123>_,
and remembered
<02142> (8804)
not the brotherly
<0251>
covenant
<01285>_:
{the brotherly...: Heb. the covenant of brethren}
But I will send
<07971> (8765)
a fire
<0784>
on the wall
<02346>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
which shall devour
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
thereof.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
For three
<07969>
transgressions
<06588>
of Edom
<0123>_,
and for four
<0702>_,
I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)
[the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue
<07291> (8800)
his brother
<0251>
with the sword
<02719>_,
and did cast off
<07843> (8765)
all pity
<07356>_,
and his anger
<0639>
did tear
<02963> (8799)
perpetually
<05703>_,
and he kept
<08104> (8804)
his wrath
<05678>
for ever
<05331>_:
{did cast...: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
But I will send
<07971> (8765)
a fire
<0784>
upon Teman
<08487>_,
which shall devour
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
of Bozrah
<01224>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
For three
<07969>
transgressions
<06588>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and for four
<0702>_,
I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)
[the punishment] thereof; because they have ripped up
<01234> (8800)
the women with child
<02030>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
that they might enlarge
<07337> (8687)
their border
<01366>_:
{ripped...: or, divided the mountains}
But I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in the wall
<02346>
of Rabbah
<07237>_,
and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
thereof, with shouting
<08643>
in the day
<03117>
of battle
<04421>_,
with a tempest
<05591>
in the day
<03117>
of the whirlwind
<05492>_:
And their king
<04428>
shall go
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>_,
he and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.

Zephaniah 2:1-15

Gather yourselves together
<07197> (8703)_,
yea, gather together
<07197> (8798)_,
O nation
<01471>
not desired
<03700> (8737)_;
{not...: or, not desirous}
Before the decree
<02706>
bring forth
<03205> (8800)_,
[before] the day
<03117>
pass
<05674> (8804)
as the chaff
<04671>_,
before
<03808>
the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
come
<0935> (8799)
upon you, before the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
anger
<0639>
come
<0935> (8799)
upon you.
Seek
<01245> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>_,
all ye meek
<06035>
of the earth
<0776>_,
which have wrought
<06466> (8804)
his judgment
<04941>_;
seek
<01245> (8761)
righteousness
<06664>_,
seek
<01245> (8761)
meekness
<06038>_:
it may be
<0194>
ye shall be hid
<05641> (8735)
in the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
anger
<0639>_.
For Gaza
<05804>
shall be forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,
and Ashkelon
<0831>
a desolation
<08077>_:
they shall drive out
<01644> (8762)
Ashdod
<0795>
at the noon day
<06672>_,
and Ekron
<06138>
shall be rooted up
<06131> (8735)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the sea
<03220>
coast
<02256>_,
the nation
<01471>
of the Cherethites
<03774>_!
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] against you; O Canaan
<03667>_,
the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
I will even destroy
<06> (8689)
thee, that there shall be no inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
And the sea
<03220>
coast
<02256>
shall be dwellings
<05116>
[and] cottages
<03741>
for shepherds
<07462> (8802)_,
and folds
<01448>
for flocks
<06629>_.
And the coast
<02256>
shall be for the remnant
<07611>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_;
they shall feed
<07462> (8799)
thereupon: in the houses
<01004>
of Ashkelon
<0831>
shall they lie down
<07257> (8799)
in the evening
<06153>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
shall visit
<06485> (8799)
them, and turn away
<07725> (8804)
their captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_.
{for the LORD: or, when, etc}
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
the reproach
<02781>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the revilings
<01421>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
whereby they have reproached
<02778> (8765)
my people
<05971>_,
and magnified
<01431> (8686)
[themselves] against their border
<01366>_.
Therefore [as] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Surely Moab
<04124>
shall be as Sodom
<05467>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
as Gomorrah
<06017>_,
[even] the breeding
<04476>
of nettles
<02738>_,
and saltpits
<04379> <04417>_,
and a perpetual
<05704> <05769>
desolation
<08077>_:
the residue
<07611>
of my people
<05971>
shall spoil
<0962> (8799)
them, and the remnant
<03499>
of my people
<01471>
shall possess
<05157> (8799)
them.
This shall they have for their pride
<01347>_,
because they have reproached
<02778> (8765)
and magnified
<01431> (8686)
[themselves] against the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
The LORD
<03068>
[will be] terrible
<03372> (8737)
unto them: for he will famish
<07329> (8804)
all the gods
<0430>
of the earth
<0776>_;
and [men] shall worship
<07812> (8691)
him, every one
<0376>
from his place
<04725>_,
[even] all the isles
<0339>
of the heathen
<01471>_.
{famish: Heb. make lean}
Ye Ethiopians
<03569>
also, ye
<01992>
[shall be] slain
<02491>
by my sword
<02719>_.
And he will stretch out
<05186> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
against the north
<06828>_,
and destroy
<06> (8762)
Assyria
<0804>_;
and will make
<07760> (8799)
Nineveh
<05210>
a desolation
<08077>_,
[and] dry
<06723>
like a wilderness
<04057>_.
And flocks
<05739>
shall lie down
<07257> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of her, all the beasts
<02416>
of the nations
<01471>_:
both the cormorant
<06893>
and the bittern
<07090>
shall lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the upper lintels
<03730>
of it; [their] voice
<06963>
shall sing
<07891> (8787)
in the windows
<02474>_;
desolation
<02721>
[shall be] in the thresholds
<05592>_:
for he shall uncover
<06168> (8765)
the cedar work
<0731>_.
{cormorant: or, pelican} {upper...: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for...: or, when he hath uncovered}
This [is] the rejoicing
<05947>
city
<05892>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
carelessly
<0983>_,
that said
<0559> (8802)
in her heart
<03824>_,
I [am], and [there is] none beside
<0657>
me: how is she become a desolation
<08047>_,
a place for beasts
<02416>
to lie down in
<04769>_!
every one that passeth by
<05674> (8802)
her shall hiss
<08319> (8799)_,
[and] wag
<05128> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_.
