2:1

I will stand
<05975> (8799)

upon my watch
<04931>_,

and set
<03320> (8691)

me upon the tower
<04692>_,

and will watch
<06822> (8762)

to see
<07200> (8800)

what he will say
<01696> (8762)

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

when I am reproved
<08433>_.

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

2:2

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

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

Write
<03789> (8798)

the vision
<02377>_,

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

upon tables
<03871>_,

that he may run
<07323> (8799)

that readeth
<07121> (8802)

it.

2:3

For the vision
<02377>

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

but at the end
<07093>

it shall speak
<06315> (8686)_,

and not lie
<03576> (8762)_:

though it tarry
<04102> (8698)_,

wait
<02442> (8761)

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

come
<0935> (8799)_,

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

2:4

Behold, his soul
<05315>

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

is not upright
<03474> (8804)

in him: but the just
<06662>

shall live
<02421> (8799)

by his faith
<0530>_.

2:5

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

by wine
<03196>_,

[he is] a proud
<03093>

man
<01397>_,

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

who enlargeth
<07337> (8689)

his desire
<05315>

as hell
<07585>_,

and [is] as death
<04194>_,

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

but gathereth
<0622> (8799)

unto him all nations
<01471>_,

and heapeth
<06908> (8799)

unto him all people
<05971>_:

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

2:6

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

a parable
<04912>

against him, and a taunting
<04426>

proverb
<02420>

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

Woe
<01945>

to him that increaseth
<07235> (8688)

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

himself with thick clay
<05671>_!

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