Isaiah 1:1--35:10

The vision
<02377>
of Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
which he saw
<02372> (8804)
concerning Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
in the days
<03117>
of Uzziah
<05818>_,
Jotham
<03147>_,
Ahaz
<0271>_,
[and] Hezekiah
<03169>_,
kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O heavens
<08064>_,
and give ear
<0238> (8685)_,
O earth
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
I have nourished
<01431> (8765)
and brought up
<07311> (8790)
children
<01121>_,
and they have rebelled
<06586> (8804)
against me.
The ox
<07794>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
his owner
<07069> (8802)_,
and the ass
<02543>
his master's
<01167>
crib
<018>_:
[but] Israel
<03478>
doth not know
<03045> (8804)_,
my people
<05971>
doth not consider
<0995> (8712)_.
Ah
<01945>
sinful
<02398> (8802)
nation
<01471>_,
a people
<05971>
laden
<03515>
with iniquity
<05771>_,
a seed
<02233>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,
children
<01121>
that are corrupters
<07843> (8688)_:
they have forsaken
<05800> (8804) <0853>
the LORD
<03068>_,
they have provoked
<05006> (0) <0853>
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
unto anger
<05006> (8765)_,
they are gone away
<02114> (8738)
backward
<0268>_.
{laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone...: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
Why should ye be stricken
<05221> (8714)
any more? ye will revolt
<05627>
more and more
<03254> (8686)_:
the whole head
<07218>
is sick
<02483>_,
and the whole heart
<03824>
faint
<01742>_.
{revolt...: Heb. increase revolt}
From the sole
<03709>
of the foot
<07272>
even unto the head
<07218>
[there is] no soundness
<04974>
in it; [but] wounds
<06482>_,
and bruises
<02250>_,
and putrifying
<02961>
sores
<04347>_:
they have not been closed
<02115> (8804)_,
neither bound up
<02280> (8795)_,
neither mollified
<07401> (8795)
with ointment
<08081>_.
{ointment: or, oil}
Your country
<0776>
[is] desolate
<08077>_,
your cities
<05892>
[are] burned
<08313> (8803)
with fire
<0784>_:
your land
<0127>_,
strangers
<02114> (8801)
devour
<0398> (8802)
it in your presence, and [it is] desolate
<08077>_,
as overthrown
<04114>
by strangers
<02114> (8801)_.
{overthrown...: Heb. the overthrow of}
And the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
is left
<03498> (8738)
as a cottage
<05521>
in a vineyard
<03754>_,
as a lodge
<04412>
in a garden of cucumbers
<04750>_,
as a besieged
<05341> (8803)
city
<05892>_.
Except
<03884>
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
had left
<03498> (8689)
unto us a very small
<04592>
remnant
<08300>_,
we should have been
<01961> (8804)
as Sodom
<05467>_,
[and] we should have been like
<01819> (8804)
unto Gomorrah
<06017>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye rulers
<07101>
of Sodom
<05467>_;
give ear
<0238> (8685)
unto the law
<08451>
of our God
<0430>_,
ye people
<05971>
of Gomorrah
<06017>_.
To what
<04100>
purpose [is] the multitude
<07230>
of your sacrifices
<02077>
unto me? saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
I am full
<07646> (8804)
of the burnt offerings
<05930>
of rams
<0352>_,
and the fat
<02459>
of fed beasts
<04806>_;
and I delight
<02654> (8804)
not in the blood
<01818>
of bullocks
<06499>_,
or of lambs
<03532>_,
or of he goats
<06260>_.
{he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye come
<0935> (8799)
to appear
<07200> (8736)
before
<06440>
me, who hath required
<01245> (8765)
this at your hand
<03027>_,
to tread
<07429> (8800)
my courts
<02691>_?
{to appear: Heb. to be seen}
Bring
<0935> (8687)
no more
<03254> (8686)
vain
<07723>
oblations
<04503>_;
incense
<07004>
is an abomination
<08441>
unto me; the new moons
<02320>
and sabbaths
<07676>_,
the calling
<07121> (8800)
of assemblies
<04744>_,
I cannot away with
<03201> (8799)_;
[it is] iniquity
<0205>_,
even the solemn meeting
<06116>_.
{iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moons
<02320>
and your appointed feasts
<04150>
my soul
<05315>
hateth
<08130> (8804)_:
they are a trouble
<02960>
unto me; I am weary
<03811> (8738)
to bear
<05375> (8800)
[them].
And when ye spread forth
<06566> (8763)
your hands
<03709>_,
I will hide
<05956> (8686)
mine eyes
<05869>
from you: yea, when ye make many
<07235> (8686)
prayers
<08605>_,
I will not hear
<08085> (8802)_:
your hands
<03027>
are full
<04390> (8804)
of blood
<01818>_.
{make...: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
Wash
<07364> (8798)
you, make you clean
<02135> (8690)_;
put away
<05493> (8685)
the evil
<07455>
of your doings
<04611>
from before
<05048>
mine eyes
<05869>_;
cease
<02308> (8798)
to do evil
<07489> (8687)_;
Learn
<03925> (8798)
to do well
<03190> (8687)_;
seek
<01875> (8798)
judgment
<04941>_,
relieve
<0833> (8761)
the oppressed
<02541>_,
judge
<08199> (8798)
the fatherless
<03490>_,
plead
<07378> (8798)
for the widow
<0490>_.
{relieve: or, righten}
Come now
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us reason together
<03198> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
though your sins
<02399>
be as scarlet
<08144>_,
they shall be as white
<03835> (8686)
as snow
<07950>_;
though they be red
<0119> (8686)
like crimson
<08438>_,
they shall be as wool
<06785>_.
If ye be willing
<014> (8799)
and obedient
<08085> (8804)_,
ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the good
<02898>
of the land
<0776>_:
But if ye refuse
<03985> (8762)
and rebel
<04784> (8804)_,
ye shall be devoured
<0398> (8792)
with the sword
<02719>_:
for the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
How is the faithful
<0539> (8737)
city
<07151>
become an harlot
<02181> (8802)_!
it was full
<04392>
of judgment
<04941>_;
righteousness
<06664>
lodged
<03885> (8799)
in it; but now murderers
<07523> (8764)_.
Thy silver
<03701>
is become dross
<05509>_,
thy wine
<05435>
mixed
<04107> (8803)
with water
<04325>_:
Thy princes
<08269>
[are] rebellious
<05637> (8802)_,
and companions
<02270>
of thieves
<01590>_:
every one loveth
<0157> (8802)
gifts
<07810>_,
and followeth
<07291> (8802)
after rewards
<08021>_:
they judge
<08199> (8799)
not the fatherless
<03490>_,
neither doth the cause
<07379>
of the widow
<0490>
come
<0935> (8799)
unto them.
Therefore saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the mighty One
<046>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Ah
<01945>_,
I will ease
<05162> (8735)
me of mine adversaries
<06862>_,
and avenge
<05358> (8735)
me of mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:
And I will turn
<07725> (8686)
my hand
<03027>
upon thee, and purely
<01253>
purge away
<06884> (8799)
thy dross
<05509>_,
and take away
<05493> (8686)
all thy tin
<0913>_:
{purely: Heb. according to pureness}
And I will restore
<07725> (8686)
thy judges
<08199> (8802)
as at the first
<07223>_,
and thy counsellors
<03289> (8802)
as at the beginning
<08462>_:
afterward
<0310>
thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)_,
The city
<05892>
of righteousness
<06664>_,
the faithful
<0539> (8737)
city
<07151>_.
Zion
<06726>
shall be redeemed
<06299> (8735)
with judgment
<04941>_,
and her converts
<07725> (8802)
with righteousness
<06666>_.
{her...: or, they that return of her}
And the destruction
<07667>
of the transgressors
<06586> (8802)
and of the sinners
<02400>
[shall be] together
<03162>_,
and they that forsake
<05800> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>
shall be consumed
<03615> (8799)_.
{destruction: Heb. breaking}
For they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
of the oaks
<0352>
which ye have desired
<02530> (8804)_,
and ye shall be confounded
<02659> (8799)
for the gardens
<01593>
that ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.
For ye shall be as an oak
<0424>
whose leaf
<05929>
fadeth
<05034> (8802)_,
and as a garden
<01593>
that hath no water
<04325>_.
And the strong
<02634>
shall be as tow
<05296>_,
and the maker
<06467>
of it as a spark
<05213>_,
and they shall both
<08147>
burn
<01197> (8804)
together
<03162>_,
and none shall quench
<03518> (8764)
[them]. {maker...: or, and his work}
The word
<01697>
that Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
saw
<02372> (8804)
concerning Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And it shall come to pass in the last
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
[that] the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
shall be established
<03559> (8737)
in the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and shall be exalted
<05375> (8737)
above the hills
<01389>_;
and all nations
<01471>
shall flow
<05102> (8804)
unto it. {established: or, prepared}
And many
<07227>
people
<05971>
shall go
<01980> (8804)
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
ye, and let us go up
<05927> (8799)
to the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to the house
<01004>
of the God
<0430>
of Jacob
<03290>_;
and he will teach
<03384> (8686)
us of his ways
<01870>_,
and we will walk
<03212> (8799)
in his paths
<0734>_:
for out of Zion
<06726>
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
the law
<08451>_,
and the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
from Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And he shall judge
<08199> (8804)
among the nations
<01471>_,
and shall rebuke
<03198> (8689)
many
<07227>
people
<05971>_:
and they shall beat
<03807> (8765)
their swords
<02719>
into plowshares
<0855>_,
and their spears
<02595>
into pruninghooks
<04211>_:
nation
<01471>
shall not lift up
<05375> (8799)
sword
<02719>
against nation
<01471>_,
neither shall they learn
<03925> (8799)
war
<04421>
any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
come
<03212> (8798)
ye, and let us walk
<03212> (8799)
in the light
<0216>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Therefore thou hast forsaken
<05203> (8804)
thy people
<05971>
the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
because they be replenished
<04390> (8804)
from the east
<06924>_,
and [are] soothsayers
<06049> (8781)
like the Philistines
<06430>_,
and they please
<05606> (8686)
themselves in the children
<03206>
of strangers
<05237>_.
{from...: or, more than the} {please...: or, abound with the}
Their land
<0776>
also is full
<04390> (8735)
of silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
neither [is there any] end
<07097>
of their treasures
<0214>_;
their land
<0776>
is also full
<04390> (8735)
of horses
<05483>_,
neither [is there any] end
<07097>
of their chariots
<04818>_:
Their land
<0776>
also is full
<04390> (8735)
of idols
<0457>_;
they worship
<07812> (8691)
the work
<04639>
of their own hands
<03027>_,
that which their own fingers
<0676>
have made
<06213> (8804)_:
And the mean man
<0120>
boweth down
<07817> (8735)_,
and the great man
<0376>
humbleth
<08213> (8799)
himself: therefore forgive
<05375> (8799)
them not.
Enter
<0935> (8798)
into the rock
<06697>_,
and hide
<02934> (8734)
thee in the dust
<06083>_,
for
<06440>
fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the glory
<01926>
of his majesty
<01347>_.
The lofty
<01365>
looks
<05869>
of man
<0120>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8804)_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of men
<0582>
shall be bowed down
<07817> (8804)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
alone shall be exalted
<07682> (8738)
in that day
<03117>_.
For the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[shall be] upon every [one that is] proud
<01343>
and lofty
<07311> (8802)_,
and upon every [one that is] lifted up
<05375> (8737)_;
and he shall be brought low
<08213> (8804)_:
And upon all the cedars
<0730>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
[that are] high
<07311> (8802)
and lifted up
<05375> (8737)_,
and upon all the oaks
<0437>
of Bashan
<01316>_,
And upon all the high
<07311> (8802)
mountains
<02022>_,
and upon all the hills
<01389>
[that are] lifted up
<05375> (8737)_,
And upon every high
<01364>
tower
<04026>_,
and upon every fenced
<01219> (8803)
wall
<02346>_,
And upon all the ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_,
and upon all pleasant
<02532>
pictures
<07914>_.
{pleasant...: Heb. pictures of desire}
And the loftiness
<01365>
of man
<0120>
shall be bowed down
<07817> (8804)_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of men
<0582>
shall be made low
<08213> (8804)_:
and the LORD
<03068>
alone shall be exalted
<07682> (8738)
in that day
<03117>_.
And the idols
<0457>
he shall utterly
<03632>
abolish
<02498> (8799)_.
{he...: or, shall utterly pass away}
And they shall go
<0935> (8804)
into the holes
<04631>
of the rocks
<06697>_,
and into the caves
<04247>
of the earth
<06083>_,
for
<06440>
fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the glory
<01926>
of his majesty
<01347>_,
when he ariseth
<06965> (8800)
to shake terribly
<06206> (8800)
the earth
<0776>_.
{of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
In that day
<03117>
a man
<0120>
shall cast
<07993> (8686)
his idols
<0457>
of silver
<03701>_,
and his idols
<0457>
of gold
<02091>_,
which they made [each one] for himself
<06213> (8804)
to worship
<07812> (8692)_,
to the moles
<02661> <06512>
and to the bats
<05847>_;
{his idols of silver...: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc} {each...: or, for him}
To go
<0935> (8800)
into the clefts
<05366>
of the rocks
<06697>_,
and into the tops
<05585>
of the ragged rocks
<05553>_,
for
<06440>
fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the glory
<01926>
of his majesty
<01347>_,
when he ariseth
<06965> (8800)
to shake terribly
<06206> (8800)
the earth
<0776>_.
Cease
<02308> (8798)
ye from man
<0120>_,
whose breath
<05397>
[is] in his nostrils
<0639>_:
for wherein is he to be accounted of
<02803> (8737)_?
For, behold, the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
doth take away
<05493> (8688)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
and from Judah
<03063>
the stay
<04937>
and the staff
<04938>_,
the whole stay
<04937>
of bread
<03899>_,
and the whole
<03605>
stay
<04937>
of water
<04325>_,
The mighty man
<01368>_,
and the man
<0376>
of war
<04421>_,
the judge
<08199> (8802)_,
and the prophet
<05030>_,
and the prudent
<07080> (8802)_,
and the ancient
<02205>_,
The captain
<08269>
of fifty
<02572>_,
and the honourable
<05375> (8803)
man
<06440>_,
and the counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,
and the cunning
<02450>
artificer
<02791>_,
and the eloquent
<0995> (8737)
orator
<03908>_.
{the honourable...: Heb. a man eminent in countenance} {eloquent...: or, skilful of speech}
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
children
<05288>
[to be] their princes
<08269>_,
and babes
<08586>
shall rule
<04910> (8799)
over them.
And the people
<05971>
shall be oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,
every one
<0376>
by another
<0376>_,
and every one
<0376>
by his neighbour
<07453>_:
the child
<05288>
shall behave himself proudly
<07292> (8799)
against the ancient
<02205>_,
and the base
<07034> (8737)
against the honourable
<03513> (8737)_.
When a man
<0376>
shall take hold
<08610> (8799)
of his brother
<0251>
of the house
<01004>
of his father
<01>_,
[saying], Thou hast clothing
<08071>_,
be thou our ruler
<07101>_,
and [let] this ruin
<04384>
[be] under thy hand
<03027>_:
In that day
<03117>
shall he swear
<05375> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I will not be an healer
<02280> (8802)_;
for in my house
<01004>
[is] neither bread
<03899>
nor clothing
<08071>_:
make
<07760> (8799)
me not a ruler
<07101>
of the people
<05971>_.
{swear: Heb. lift up the hand} {healer: Heb. binder up}
For Jerusalem
<03389>
is ruined
<03782> (8804)_,
and Judah
<03063>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_:
because their tongue
<03956>
and their doings
<04611>
[are] against the LORD
<03068>_,
to provoke
<04784> (8687)
the eyes
<05869>
of his glory
<03519>_.
The shew
<01971>
of their countenance
<06440>
doth witness against them
<06030> (8804)_;
and they declare
<05046> (8689)
their sin
<02403>
as Sodom
<05467>_,
they hide
<03582> (8765)
[it] not. Woe
<0188>
unto their soul
<05315>_!
for they have rewarded
<01580> (8804)
evil
<07451>
unto themselves.
Say
<0559> (8798)
ye to the righteous
<06662>_,
that [it shall be] well
<02896>
[with him]: for they shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the fruit
<06529>
of their doings
<04611>_.
Woe
<0188>
unto the wicked
<07563>_!
[it shall be] ill
<07451>
[with him]: for the reward
<01576>
of his hands
<03027>
shall be given
<06213> (8735)
him. {given...: Heb. done to him}
[As for] my people
<05971>_,
children
<05953> (8781)
[are] their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_,
and women
<0802>
rule
<04910> (8804)
over them. O my people
<05971>_,
they which lead
<0833> (8764)
thee cause [thee] to err
<08582> (8688)_,
and destroy
<01104> (8765)
the way
<01870>
of thy paths
<0734>_.
{lead...: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
The LORD
<03068>
standeth up
<05324> (8737)
to plead
<07378> (8800)_,
and standeth
<05975> (8802)
to judge
<01777> (8800)
the people
<05971>_.
The LORD
<03068>
will enter
<0935> (8799)
into judgment
<04941>
with the ancients
<02205>
of his people
<05971>_,
and the princes
<08269>
thereof: for ye have eaten up
<01197> (8765)
the vineyard
<03754>_;
the spoil
<01500>
of the poor
<06041>
[is] in your houses
<01004>_.
{eaten: or, burnt}
What mean ye [that] ye beat
<01792> (0)
my people
<05971>
to pieces
<01792> (8762)_,
and grind
<02912> (8799)
the faces
<06440>
of the poor
<06041>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Because
<03282>
the daughters
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
are haughty
<01361> (8804)_,
and walk
<03212> (8799)
with stretched forth
<05186> (8803)
necks
<01627>
and wanton
<08265> (8764)
eyes
<05869>_,
walking
<01980> (8800)
and mincing
<02952> (8800)
[as] they go
<03212> (8799)_,
and making a tinkling
<05913> (8762)
with their feet
<07272>_:
{wanton...: Heb. deceiving with their eyes} {mincing: or, tripping nicely}
Therefore the Lord
<0136>
will smite with a scab
<05596> (8765)
the crown of the head
<06936>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
will discover
<06168> (8762)
their secret parts
<06596>_.
{discover: Heb. make naked}
In that day
<03117>
the Lord
<0136>
will take away
<05493> (8686)
the bravery
<08597>
of [their] tinkling ornaments
<05914>
[about their feet], and [their] cauls
<07636>_,
and [their] round tires like the moon
<07720>_,
{cauls: or, networks}
The chains
<05188>_,
and the bracelets
<08285>_,
and the mufflers
<07479>_,
{chains: or, sweet balls} {mufflers: or, spangled ornaments}
The bonnets
<06287>_,
and the ornaments of the legs
<06807>_,
and the headbands
<07196>_,
and the tablets
<05315> <01004>_,
and the earrings
<03908>_,
{tablets: Heb. houses of the soul}
The rings
<02885>_,
and nose
<0639>
jewels
<05141>_,
The changeable suits of apparel
<04254>_,
and the mantles
<04595>_,
and the wimples
<04304>_,
and the crisping pins
<02754>_,
The glasses
<01549>_,
and the fine linen
<05466>_,
and the hoods
<06797>_,
and the vails
<07289>_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell
<01314>
there shall be stink
<04716>_;
and instead of a girdle
<02290>
a rent
<05364>_;
and instead of well set
<04639>
hair
<04748>
baldness
<07144>_;
and instead of a stomacher
<06614>
a girding
<04228>
of sackcloth
<08242>_;
[and] burning
<03587>
instead of beauty
<03308>_.
Thy men
<04962>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and thy mighty
<01369>
in the war
<04421>_.
{mighty: Heb. might}
And her gates
<06607>
shall lament
<0578> (8804)
and mourn
<056> (8804)_;
and she [being] desolate
<05352> (8738)
shall sit
<03427> (8799)
upon the ground
<0776>_.
{desolate: or, emptied: Heb. cleansed}
And in that day
<03117>
seven
<07651>
women
<0802>
shall take hold
<02388> (8689)
of one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will eat
<0398> (8799)
our own bread
<03899>_,
and wear
<03847> (8799)
our own apparel
<08071>_:
only let us be called
<07121> (8735)
by thy name
<08034>_,
to take away
<0622> (8798)
our reproach
<02781>_.
{let...: Heb. let thy name be called upon us} {to take...: or, take thou away}
In that day
<03117>
shall the branch
<06780>
of the LORD
<03068>
be beautiful
<06643>
and glorious
<03519>_,
and the fruit
<06529>
of the earth
<0776>
[shall be] excellent
<01347>
and comely for
<08597>
them that are escaped
<06413>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{beautiful...: Heb. beauty and glory} {them...: Heb. the escaping}
And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left
<07604> (8737)
in Zion
<06726>_,
and [he that] remaineth
<03498> (8737)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
shall be called
<0559> (8735)
holy
<06918>_,
[even] every one that is written
<03789> (8803)
among the living
<02416>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
{among...: or, to life}
When the Lord
<0136>
shall have washed away
<07364> (8804)
the filth
<06675>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
and shall have purged
<01740> (8686)
the blood
<01818>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
from the midst
<07130>
thereof by the spirit
<07307>
of judgment
<04941>_,
and by the spirit
<07307>
of burning
<01197> (8763)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
will create
<01254> (8804)
upon every dwelling place
<04349>
of mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_,
and upon her assemblies
<04744>_,
a cloud
<06051>
and smoke
<06227>
by day
<03119>_,
and the shining
<05051>
of a flaming
<03852>
fire
<0784>
by night
<03915>_:
for upon all the glory
<03519>
[shall be] a defence
<02646>_.
{upon all: or, above all} {defence: Heb. covering}
And there shall be a tabernacle
<05521>
for a shadow
<06738>
in the daytime
<03119>
from the heat
<02721>_,
and for a place of refuge
<04268>_,
and for a covert
<04563>
from storm
<02230>
and from rain
<04306>_.
Now will I sing
<07891> (8799)
to my wellbeloved
<03039>
a song
<07892>
of my beloved
<01730>
touching his vineyard
<03754>_.
My wellbeloved
<03039>
hath a vineyard
<03754>
in a very fruitful
<01121> <08081>
hill
<07161>_:
{a very...: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fenced
<05823> (8762)
it, and gathered out the stones
<05619> (8762)
thereof, and planted
<05193> (8799)
it with the choicest vine
<08321>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
a tower
<04026>
in the midst
<08432>
of it, and also made
<02672> (8804)
a winepress
<03342>
therein: and he looked
<06960> (8762)
that it should bring forth
<06213> (8800)
grapes
<06025>_,
and it brought forth
<06213> (8799)
wild grapes
<0891>_.
{fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
judge
<08199> (8798)_,
I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard
<03754>_.
What could have been done
<06213> (8800)
more to my vineyard
<03754>_,
that I have not done
<06213> (8804)
in it? wherefore
<04069>_,
when I looked
<06960> (8765)
that it should bring forth
<06213> (8800)
grapes
<06025>_,
brought it forth
<06213> (8799)
wild grapes
<0891>_?
And now go to; I will tell
<03045> (8686)
you what I will do
<06213> (8802)
to my vineyard
<03754>_:
I will take away
<05493> (8687)
the hedge
<04881>
thereof, and it shall be eaten up
<01197> (8763)_;
[and] break down
<06555> (8800)
the wall
<01447>
thereof, and it shall be trodden down
<04823>_:
{trodden...: Heb. for a treading}
And I will lay
<07896> (8799)
it waste
<01326>_:
it shall not be pruned
<02168> (8735)_,
nor digged
<05737> (8735)_;
but there shall come up
<05927> (8804)
briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_:
I will also command
<06680> (8762)
the clouds
<05645>
that they rain
<04305> (8687)
no rain
<04306>
upon it.
For the vineyard
<03754>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
his pleasant
<08191>
plant
<05194>_:
and he looked
<06960> (8762)
for judgment
<04941>_,
but behold oppression
<04939>_;
for righteousness
<06666>_,
but behold a cry
<06818>_.
{his...: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
Woe
<01945>
unto them that join
<05060> (8688)
house
<01004>
to house
<01004>_,
[that] lay
<07126> (8686)
field
<07704>
to field
<07704>_,
till [there be] no
<0657>
place
<04725>_,
that they may be placed
<03427> (8717)
alone in the midst
<07130>
of the earth
<0776>_!
{they: Heb. ye}
In mine ears
<0241>
[said] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Of a truth
<03808>
many
<07227>
houses
<01004>
shall be desolate
<08047>_,
[even] great
<01419>
and fair
<02896>_,
without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
{In...: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a...: Heb. If not, etc}
Yea
<03588>_,
ten
<06235>
acres
<06776>
of vineyard
<03754>
shall yield
<06213> (8799)
one
<0259>
bath
<01324>_,
and the seed
<02233>
of an homer
<02563>
shall yield
<06213> (8799)
an ephah
<0374>_.
Woe
<01945>
unto them that rise up early
<07925> (8688)
in the morning
<01242>_,
[that] they may follow
<07291> (8799)
strong drink
<07941>_;
that continue
<0309> (8764)
until night
<05399>_,
[till] wine
<03196>
inflame
<01814> (8686)
them! {inflame: of, pursue}
And the harp
<03658>_,
and the viol
<05035>_,
the tabret
<08596>_,
and pipe
<02485>_,
and wine
<03196>_,
are in their feasts
<04960>_:
but they regard
<05027> (8686)
not the work
<06467>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
neither consider
<07200> (8804)
the operation
<04639>
of his hands
<03027>_.
Therefore my people
<05971>
are gone into captivity
<01540> (8804)_,
because [they have] no knowledge
<01847>_:
and their honourable
<03519>
men
<04962>
[are] famished
<07458>_,
and their multitude
<01995>
dried up
<06704>
with thirst
<06772>_.
{honourable...: Heb. glory are men of famine}
Therefore hell
<07585>
hath enlarged
<07337> (8689)
herself
<05315>_,
and opened
<06473> (8804)
her mouth
<06310>
without measure
<02706>_:
and their glory
<01926>_,
and their multitude
<01995>_,
and their pomp
<07588>_,
and he that rejoiceth
<05938>_,
shall descend
<03381> (8804)
into it.
And the mean man
<0120>
shall be brought down
<07817> (8735)_,
and the mighty man
<0376>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8799)_,
and the eyes
<05869>
of the lofty
<01364>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8799)_:
But the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall be exalted
<01361> (8799)
in judgment
<04941>_,
and God
<0410>
that is holy
<06918>
shall be sanctified
<06942> (8738)
in righteousness
<06666>_.
{God...: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}
Then shall the lambs
<03532>
feed
<07462> (8804)
after their manner
<01699>_,
and the waste places
<02723>
of the fat ones
<04220>
shall strangers
<01481> (8802)
eat
<0398> (8799)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto them that draw
<04900> (8802)
iniquity
<05771>
with cords
<02256>
of vanity
<07723>_,
and sin
<02403>
as it were with a cart
<05699>
rope
<05688>_:
That say
<0559> (8802)_,
Let him make speed
<04116> (8762)_,
[and] hasten
<02363> (8686)
his work
<04639>_,
that we may see
<07200> (8799)
[it]: and let the counsel
<06098>
of the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
draw nigh
<07126> (8799)
and come
<0935> (8799)_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
[it]!
Woe
<01945>
unto them that call
<0559> (8802)
evil
<07451>
good
<02896>_,
and good
<02896>
evil
<07451>_;
that put
<07760> (8802)
darkness
<02822>
for light
<0216>_,
and light
<0216>
for darkness
<02822>_;
that put
<07760> (8802)
bitter
<04751>
for sweet
<04966>_,
and sweet
<04966>
for bitter
<04751>_!
{call...: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}
Woe
<01945>
unto [them that are] wise
<02450>
in their own eyes
<05869>_,
and prudent
<0995> (8737)
in their own sight
<06440>_!
{in their own sight: Heb. before their face}
Woe
<01945>
unto [them that are] mighty
<01368>
to drink
<08354> (8800)
wine
<03196>_,
and men
<0582>
of strength
<02428>
to mingle
<04537> (8800)
strong drink
<07941>_:
Which justify
<06663> (8688)
the wicked
<07563>
for
<06118>
reward
<07810>_,
and take away
<05493> (8686)
the righteousness
<06666>
of the righteous
<06662>
from him!
Therefore as the fire
<0784>
devoureth
<0398> (8800)
the stubble
<07179>_,
and the flame
<03956> <03852>
consumeth
<07503> (8799)
the chaff
<02842>_,
[so] their root
<08328>
shall be as rottenness
<04716>_,
and their blossom
<06525>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)
as dust
<080>_:
because they have cast away
<03988> (8804)
the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and despised
<05006> (8765)
the word
<0565>
of the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
Therefore is the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
kindled
<02734> (8804)
against his people
<05971>_,
and he hath stretched forth
<05186> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
against them, and hath smitten
<05221> (8686)
them: and the hills
<02022>
did tremble
<07264> (8799)_,
and their carcases
<05038>
[were] torn
<05478>
in the midst
<07130>
of the streets
<02351>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)
still. {torn: or, as dung}
And he will lift up
<05375> (8804)
an ensign
<05251>
to the nations
<01471>
from far
<07350>_,
and will hiss
<08319> (8804)
unto them from the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and, behold, they shall come
<0935> (8799)
with speed
<04120>
swiftly
<07031>_:
None shall be weary
<05889>
nor stumble
<03782> (8802)
among them; none shall slumber
<05123> (8799)
nor sleep
<03462> (8799)_;
neither shall the girdle
<0232>
of their loins
<02504>
be loosed
<06605> (8738)_,
nor the latchet
<08288>
of their shoes
<05275>
be broken
<05423> (8738)_:
Whose arrows
<02671>
[are] sharp
<08150> (8802)_,
and all their bows
<07198>
bent
<01869> (8803)_,
their horses
<05483>_'
hoofs
<06541>
shall be counted
<02803> (8738)
like flint
<06862>_,
and their wheels
<01534>
like a whirlwind
<05492>_:
Their roaring
<07581>
[shall be] like a lion
<03833>_,
they shall roar
<07580> (8799) (8675) <07580> (8804)
like young lions
<03715>_:
yea, they shall roar
<05098> (8799)_,
and lay hold
<0270> (8799)
of the prey
<02964>_,
and shall carry [it] away safe
<06403> (8686)_,
and none shall deliver
<05337> (8688)
[it].
And in that day
<03117>
they shall roar
<05098> (8799)
against them like the roaring
<05100>
of the sea
<03220>_:
and if [one] look
<05027> (8765)
unto the land
<0776>_,
behold darkness
<02822>
[and] sorrow
<06862>_,
and the light
<0216>
is darkened
<02821> (8804)
in the heavens
<06183>
thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light...: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
In the year
<08141>
that king
<04428>
Uzziah
<05818>
died
<04194>
I saw
<07200> (8799)
also
<0853>
the Lord
<0136>
sitting
<03427> (8802)
upon a throne
<03678>_,
high
<07311> (8802)
and lifted up
<05375> (8737)_,
and his train
<07757>
filled
<04392> <0853>
the temple
<01964>_.
{his...: or, the skirts thereof}
Above
<04605>
it stood
<05975> (8802)
the seraphims
<08314>_:
each one
<0259>
had six
<08337>
wings
<03671>_;
with twain
<08147>
he covered
<03680> (8762)
his face
<06440>_,
and with twain
<08147>
he covered
<03680> (8762)
his feet
<07272>_,
and with twain
<08147>
he did fly
<05774> (8787)_.
And one cried
<07121> (8804)
unto another, and said
<0559> (8804)_,
Holy
<06918>_,
holy
<06918>_,
holy
<06918>_,
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_:
the whole earth
<0776>
[is] full
<04393>
of his glory
<03519>_.
{one...: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole...: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
And the posts
<0520>
of the door
<05592>
moved
<05128> (8799)
at the voice
<06963>
of him that cried
<07121> (8802)_,
and the house
<01004>
was filled
<04390> (8735)
with smoke
<06227>_.
{door: Heb. thresholds}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Woe
<0188>
[is] me! for I am undone
<01820> (8738)_;
because I [am] a man
<0376>
of unclean
<02931>
lips
<08193>_,
and I dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the midst
<08432>
of a people
<05971>
of unclean
<02931>
lips
<08193>_:
for mine eyes
<05869>
have seen
<07200> (8804)
the King
<04428>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{undone: Heb. cut off}
Then flew
<05774> (8799)
one
<0259>
of the seraphims
<08314>
unto me, having a live coal
<07531>
in his hand
<03027>_,
[which] he had taken
<03947> (8804)
with the tongs
<04457>
from off the altar
<04196>_:
{having...: Heb. and in his hand a live coal}
And he laid
<05060> (8686)
[it] upon my mouth
<06310>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo, this hath touched
<05060> (8804)
thy lips
<08193>_;
and thine iniquity
<05771>
is taken away
<05493> (8804)_,
and thy sin
<02403>
purged
<03722> (8792)_.
{laid...: Heb. caused it to touch}
Also I heard
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the Lord
<0136>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
Whom shall I send
<07971> (8799)_,
and who will go
<03212> (8799)
for us? Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Here [am] I; send
<07971> (8798)
me. {Here...: Heb. behold me}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
and tell
<0559> (8804)
this people
<05971>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye indeed
<08085> (8800)_,
but understand
<0995> (8799)
not; and see
<07200> (8798)
ye indeed
<07200> (8800)_,
but perceive
<03045> (8799)
not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heart
<03820>
of this people
<05971>
fat
<08080> (8685)_,
and make their ears
<0241>
heavy
<03513> (8685)_,
and shut
<08173> (8685)
their eyes
<05869>_;
lest they see
<07200> (8799)
with their eyes
<05869>_,
and hear
<08085> (8799)
with their ears
<0241>_,
and understand
<0995> (8799)
with their heart
<03824>_,
and convert
<07725> (8802)_,
and be healed
<07495> (8804)_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Lord
<0136>_,
how long? And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Until the cities
<05892>
be wasted
<07582> (8804)
without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_,
and the houses
<01004>
without man
<0120>_,
and the land
<0127>
be utterly
<08077>
desolate
<07582> (8735)_,
{utterly...: Heb. desolate with desolation}
And the LORD
<03068>
have removed
<07368> (0)
men
<0120>
far away
<07368> (8765)_,
and [there be] a great
<07227>
forsaking
<05805>
in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>_.
But yet in it [shall be] a tenth
<06224>_,
and [it] shall return
<07725> (8804)_,
and shall be eaten
<01197> (8763)_:
as a teil tree
<0424>_,
and as an oak
<0437>_,
whose substance
<04678>
[is] in them, when they cast
<07995>
[their leaves: so] the holy
<06944>
seed
<02233>
[shall be] the substance
<04678>
thereof. {and it...: or, when it is returned, and hath been broused} {substance: or, stock, or, stem}
And it came to pass in the days
<03117>
of Ahaz
<0271>
the son
<01121>
of Jotham
<03147>_,
the son
<01121>
of Uzziah
<05818>_,
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[that] Rezin
<07526>
the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
and Pekah
<06492>
the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>_,
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
went up
<05927> (8804)
toward Jerusalem
<03389>
to war
<04421>
against it, but could
<03201> (8804)
not prevail
<03898> (8736)
against it.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Syria
<0758>
is confederate
<05117> (8804)
with Ephraim
<0669>_.
And his heart
<03824>
was moved
<05128> (8799)_,
and the heart
<03824>
of his people
<05971>_,
as the trees
<06086>
of the wood
<03293>
are moved
<05128> (8800)
with
<06440>
the wind
<07307>_.
{is confederate...: Heb. resteth on}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
unto Isaiah
<03470>_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)
now to meet
<07125> (8800)
Ahaz
<0271>_,
thou, and Shearjashub
<07610>
thy son
<01121>_,
at the end
<07097>
of the conduit
<08585>
of the upper
<05945>
pool
<01295>
in the highway
<04546>
of the fuller's
<03526> (8801)
field
<07704>_;
{Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)_,
and be quiet
<08252> (8685)_;
fear
<03372> (8799)
not, neither be fainthearted
<07401> (8735) <03824>
for the two
<08147>
tails
<02180>
of these smoking
<06226>
firebrands
<0181>_,
for the fierce
<02750>
anger
<0639>
of Rezin
<07526>
with Syria
<0758>_,
and of the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>_.
{neither...: Heb. let not thy heart be tender}
Because Syria
<0758>_,
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>_,
have taken evil
<07451>
counsel
<03289> (8804)
against thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let us go up
<05927> (8799)
against Judah
<03063>_,
and vex
<06973> (8686)
it, and let us make a breach
<01234> (8686)
therein for us, and set
<04427> (8686)
a king
<04428>
in the midst
<08432>
of it, [even] the son
<01121>
of Tabeal
<02870>_:
{vex: or, waken}
Thus
<03541>
saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
It shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_,
neither shall it come to pass.
For the head
<07218>
of Syria
<0758>
[is] Damascus
<01834>_,
and the head
<07218>
of Damascus
<01834>
[is] Rezin
<07526>_;
and within threescore
<08346>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
shall Ephraim
<0669>
be broken
<02865> (8735)_,
that it be not a people
<05971>_.
{that...: Heb. from a people}
And the head
<07218>
of Ephraim
<0669>
[is] Samaria
<08111>_,
and the head
<07218>
of Samaria
<08111>
[is] Remaliah's
<07425>
son
<01121>_.
If ye will not believe
<0539> (8686)_,
surely ye shall not be established
<0539> (8735)_.
{If...: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8763)
again
<03254> (8686)
unto Ahaz
<0271>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Moreover...: Heb. And the LORD added to speak}
Ask
<07592> (8798)
thee a sign
<0226>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_;
ask
<07592> (8800)
it either in the depth
<06009> (8685)_,
or in the height
<01361> (8687)
above
<04605>_.
{ask it...: or, make thy petition deep}
But Ahaz
<0271>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not ask
<07592> (8799)_,
neither will I tempt
<05254> (8762) <0853>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye now, O house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_;
[Is it] a small thing
<04592>
for you to weary
<03811> (8687)
men
<0582>_,
but will ye weary
<03811> (8686)
my God
<0430>
also?
Therefore the Lord
<0136>
himself shall give
<05414> (8799)
you a sign
<0226>_;
Behold, a virgin
<05959>
shall conceive
<02030>_,
and bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_,
and shall call
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Immanuel
<0410> <06005>_.
{shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
Butter
<02529>
and honey
<01706>
shall he eat
<0398> (8799)_,
that he may know
<03045> (8800)
to refuse
<03988> (8800)
the evil
<07451>_,
and choose
<0977> (8800)
the good
<02896>_.
For before the child
<05288>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
to refuse
<03988> (8800)
the evil
<07451>_,
and choose
<0977> (8800)
the good
<02896>_,
the land
<0127>
that thou abhorrest
<06973> (8801)
shall be
<06440>
forsaken
<05800> (8735)
of both
<08147>
her kings
<04428>_.
The LORD
<03068>
shall bring
<0935> (8686)
upon thee, and upon thy people
<05971>_,
and upon thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
days
<03117>
that have not come
<0935> (8804)_,
from the day
<03117>
that Ephraim
<0669>
departed
<05493> (8800)
from Judah
<03063>_;
[even] the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the LORD
<03068>
shall hiss
<08319> (8799)
for the fly
<02070>
that [is] in the uttermost part
<07097>
of the rivers
<02975>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and for the bee
<01682>
that [is] in the land
<0776>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,
and shall rest
<05117> (8804)
all of them in the desolate
<01327>
valleys
<05158>_,
and in the holes
<05357>
of the rocks
<05553>_,
and upon all thorns
<05285>_,
and upon all bushes
<05097>_.
{bushes: or, commendable trees}
In the same day
<03117>
shall the Lord
<0136>
shave
<01548> (8762)
with a razor
<08593>
that is hired
<07917>_,
[namely], by them beyond
<05676>
the river
<05104>_,
by the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
the head
<07218>_,
and the hair
<08181>
of the feet
<07272>_:
and it shall also consume
<05595> (8799)
the beard
<02206>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] a man
<0376>
shall nourish
<02421> (8762)
a young
<01241>
cow
<05697>_,
and two
<08147>
sheep
<06629>_;
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance
<07230>
of milk
<02461>
[that] they shall give
<06213> (8800)
he shall eat
<0398> (8799)
butter
<02529>_:
for butter
<02529>
and honey
<01706>
shall every one eat
<0398> (8799)
that is left
<03498> (8737)
in
<07130>
the land
<0776>_.
{the land: Heb. the midst of the land}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] every place
<04725>
shall be, where there were a thousand
<0505>
vines
<01612>
at a thousand
<0505>
silverlings
<03701>_,
it shall [even] be for briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_.
With arrows
<02671>
and with bows
<07198>
shall [men] come
<0935> (8799)
thither; because all the land
<0776>
shall become briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_.
And [on] all hills
<02022>
that shall be digged
<05737> (8735)
with the mattock
<04576>_,
there shall not come thither
<0935> (8799)
the fear
<03374>
of briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_:
but it shall be for the sending forth
<04916>
of oxen
<07794>_,
and for the treading
<04823>
of lesser cattle
<07716>_.
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Take
<03947> (8798)
thee a great
<01419>
roll
<01549>_,
and write
<03789> (8798)
in it with a man's
<0582>
pen
<02747>
concerning Mahershalalhashbaz
<04122>_.
{Mahershalalhashbaz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc}
And I took
<05749> (0)
unto me faithful
<0539> (8737)
witnesses
<05707>
to record
<05749> (8686)_,
Uriah
<0223>
the priest
<03548>_,
and Zechariah
<02148>
the son
<01121>
of Jeberechiah
<03000>_.
And I went
<07126> (8799)
unto the prophetess
<05031>_;
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
to me, Call
<07121> (8798)
his name
<08034>
Mahershalalhashbaz
<04122>_.
{went: Heb. approached}
For before the child
<05288>
shall have knowledge
<03045> (8799)
to cry
<07121> (8800)_,
My father
<01>_,
and my mother
<0517>_,
the riches
<02428>
of Damascus
<01834>
and the spoil
<07998>
of Samaria
<08111>
shall be taken away
<05375> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
{the riches...: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc}
The LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8763)
also unto me again
<03254> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Forasmuch
<03282>
as this people
<05971>
refuseth
<03988> (8804)
the waters
<04325>
of Shiloah
<07975>
that go
<01980> (8802)
softly
<0328>_,
and rejoice
<04885>
in Rezin
<07526>
and Remaliah's
<07425>
son
<01121>_;
Now therefore, behold, the Lord
<0136>
bringeth up
<05927> (8688)
upon them the waters
<04325>
of the river
<05104>_,
strong
<06099>
and many
<07227>_,
[even] the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and all his glory
<03519>_:
and he shall come up
<05927> (8804)
over all his channels
<0650>_,
and go over
<01980> (8804)
all his banks
<01415>_:
And he shall pass
<02498> (8804)
through Judah
<03063>_;
he shall overflow
<07857> (8804)
and go over
<05674> (8804)_,
he shall reach
<05060> (8686)
[even] to the neck
<06677>_;
and the stretching out
<04298>
of his wings
<03671>
shall fill
<04393>
the breadth
<07341>
of thy land
<0776>_,
O Immanuel
<06005> <0410>_.
{stretching...: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}
Associate
<07489> (8798)
yourselves, O ye people
<05971>_,
and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_;
and give ear
<0238> (8685)_,
all
<03605>
ye of far
<04801>
countries
<0776>_:
gird
<0247> (8690)
yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_;
gird
<0247> (8690)
yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_.
{people and: or, people, yet}
Take
<05779> (0)
counsel
<06098>
together
<05779> (8798)_,
and it shall come to nought
<06565> (8714)_;
speak
<01696> (8761)
the word
<01697>_,
and it shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_:
for God
<0410>
[is] with us.
For the LORD
<03068>
spake
<0559> (8804)
thus to me with a strong
<02393>
hand
<03027>_,
and instructed
<03256> (8765)
me that I should not walk
<03212> (8800)
in the way
<01870>
of this people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{with...: Heb. in strength of hand}
Say
<0559> (8799)
ye not, A confederacy
<07195>_,
to all [them to] whom this people
<05971>
shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
A confederacy
<07195>_;
neither fear
<03372> (8799)
ye their fear
<04172>_,
nor be afraid
<06206> (8686)_.
Sanctify
<06942> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
himself; and [let] him [be] your fear
<04172>_,
and [let] him [be] your dread
<06206> (8688)_.
And he shall be for a sanctuary
<04720>_;
but for a stone
<068>
of stumbling
<05063>
and for a rock
<06697>
of offence
<04383>
to both
<08147>
the houses
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
for a gin
<06341>
and for a snare
<04170>
to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And many
<07227>
among them shall stumble
<03782> (8804)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and be broken
<07665> (8738)_,
and be snared
<03369> (8738)_,
and be taken
<03920> (8738)_.
Bind up
<06887> (8798)
the testimony
<08584>_,
seal
<02856> (8798)
the law
<08451>
among my disciples
<03928>_.
And I will wait
<02442> (8765)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
that hideth
<05641> (8688)
his face
<06440>
from the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and I will look
<06960> (8765)
for him.
Behold, I and the children
<03206>
whom the LORD
<03068>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me [are] for signs
<0226>
and for wonders
<04159>
in Israel
<03478>
from the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which dwelleth
<07931> (8802)
in mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
And when they shall say
<0559> (8799)
unto you, Seek
<01875> (8798)
unto them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,
and unto wizards
<03049>
that peep
<06850> (8772)_,
and that mutter
<01897> (8688)_:
should not a people
<05971>
seek
<01875> (8799)
unto their God
<0430>_?
for the living
<02416>
to the dead
<04191> (8801)_?
To the law
<08451>
and to the testimony
<08584>_:
if they speak
<0559> (8799)
not according to this word
<01697>_,
[it is] because [there is] no light
<07837>
in them. {no...: Heb. no morning}
And they shall pass
<05674> (8804)
through it, hardly bestead
<07185> (8737)
and hungry
<07457>_:
and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry
<07456> (8799)_,
they shall fret
<07107> (8694)
themselves, and curse
<07043> (8765)
their king
<04428>
and their God
<0430>_,
and look
<06437> (8804)
upward
<04605>_.
And they shall look
<05027> (8686)
unto the earth
<0776>_;
and behold trouble
<06869>
and darkness
<02825>_,
dimness
<04588>
of anguish
<06695>_;
and [they shall be] driven
<05080> (8794)
to darkness
<0653>_.
Nevertheless the dimness
<04155>
[shall] not [be] such as [was] in her vexation
<04164>_,
when
<06256>
at the first
<07223>
he lightly afflicted
<07043> (8689)
the land
<0776>
of Zebulun
<02074>
and the land
<0776>
of Naphtali
<05321>_,
and afterward
<0314>
did more grievously afflict
<03513> (8689)
[her by] the way
<01870>
of the sea
<03220>_,
beyond
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_,
in Galilee
<01551>
of the nations
<01471>_.
{of the nations: or, populous}
The people
<05971>
that walked
<01980> (8802)
in darkness
<02822>
have seen
<07200> (8804)
a great
<01419>
light
<0216>_:
they that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of the shadow of death
<06757>_,
upon them hath the light
<0216>
shined
<05050> (8804)_.
Thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8689)
the nation
<01471>_,
[and] not increased
<01431> (8689)
the joy
<08057>_:
they joy
<08055> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee according to the joy
<08057>
in harvest
<07105>_,
[and] as [men] rejoice
<01523> (8799)
when they divide
<02505> (8763)
the spoil
<07998>_.
{not: or, to him}
For thou hast broken
<02865> (8689)
the yoke
<05923>
of his burden
<05448>_,
and the staff
<04294>
of his shoulder
<07926>_,
the rod
<07626>
of his oppressor
<05065> (8802)_,
as in the day
<03117>
of Midian
<04080>_.
{For...: or, When thou brakest}
For every battle
<05430>
of the warrior
<05431> (8802)
[is] with confused noise
<07494>_,
and garments
<08071>
rolled
<01556> (8775)
in blood
<01818>_;
but [this] shall be with burning
<08316>
[and] fuel
<03980>
of fire
<0784>_.
{For...: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etc} {but...: or, and it was, etc} {fuel: Heb. meat}
For unto us a child
<03206>
is born
<03205> (8795)_,
unto us a son
<01121>
is given
<05414> (8738)_:
and the government
<04951>
shall be upon his shoulder
<07926>_:
and his name
<08034>
shall be called
<07121> (8799)
Wonderful
<06382>_,
Counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,
The mighty
<01368>
God
<0410>_,
The everlasting
<05703>
Father
<01>_,
The Prince
<08269>
of Peace
<07965>_.
Of the increase
<04766>
of [his] government
<04951>
and peace
<07965>
[there shall be] no end
<07093>_,
upon the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>_,
and upon his kingdom
<04467>_,
to order
<03559> (8687)
it, and to establish
<05582> (8800)
it with judgment
<04941>
and with justice
<06666>
from henceforth even for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
The zeal
<07068>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
will perform
<06213> (8799)
this.
The Lord
<0136>
sent
<07971> (8804)
a word
<01697>
into Jacob
<03290>_,
and it hath lighted
<05307> (8804)
upon Israel
<03478>_.
And all the people
<05971>
shall know
<03045> (8804)_,
[even] Ephraim
<0669>
and the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Samaria
<08111>_,
that say
<0559> (8800)
in the pride
<01346>
and stoutness
<01433>
of heart
<03824>_,
The bricks
<03843>
are fallen down
<05307> (8804)_,
but we will build
<01129> (8799)
with hewn stones
<01496>_:
the sycomores
<08256>
are cut down
<01438> (8795)_,
but we will change
<02498> (8686)
[them into] cedars
<0730>_.
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
shall set up
<07682> (8762)
the adversaries
<06862>
of Rezin
<07526>
against him, and join
<05526> (0)
his enemies
<0341> (8802)
together
<05526> (8770)_;
{join: Heb. mingle}
The Syrians
<0758>
before
<06924>_,
and the Philistines
<06430>
behind
<0268>_;
and they shall devour
<0398> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
with open mouth
<06310>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
{open: Heb. whole}
For the people
<05971>
turneth
<07725> (8804)
not unto him that smiteth
<05221> (8688)
them, neither do they seek
<01875> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
will cut off
<03772> (8686)
from Israel
<03478>
head
<07218>
and tail
<02180>_,
branch
<03712>
and rush
<0100>_,
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_.
The ancient
<02205>
and honourable
<06440> <05375> (8803)_,
he
<01931>
[is] the head
<07218>_;
and the prophet
<05030>
that teacheth
<03384> (8688)
lies
<08267>_,
he [is] the tail
<02180>_.
For the leaders
<0833> (8764)
of this people
<05971>
cause [them] to err
<08582> (8688)_;
and [they that are] led
<0833> (8794)
of them [are] destroyed
<01104> (8794)_.
{the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
Therefore the Lord
<0136>
shall have no joy
<08055> (8799)
in their young men
<0970>_,
neither shall have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on their fatherless
<03490>
and widows
<0490>_:
for every one [is] an hypocrite
<02611>
and an evildoer
<07489> (8688)_,
and every mouth
<06310>
speaketh
<01696> (8802)
folly
<05039>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
{folly: or, villany}
For wickedness
<07564>
burneth
<01197> (8804)
as the fire
<0784>_:
it shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_,
and shall kindle
<03341> (8799)
in the thickets
<05442>
of the forest
<03293>_,
and they shall mount up
<055> (8691)
[like] the lifting up
<01348>
of smoke
<06227>_.
Through the wrath
<05678>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
is the land
<0776>
darkened
<06272> (8738)_,
and the people
<05971>
shall be as the fuel
<03980>
of the fire
<0784>_:
no man
<0376>
shall spare
<02550> (8799)
his brother
<0251>_.
{fuel: Heb. meat}
And he shall snatch
<01504> (8799)
on the right hand
<03225>_,
and be hungry
<07457>_;
and he shall eat
<0398> (8799)
on the left hand
<08040>_,
and they shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8804)_:
they shall eat
<0398> (8799)
every man
<0376>
the flesh
<01320>
of his own arm
<02220>_:
{snatch: Heb cut}
Manasseh
<04519>_,
Ephraim
<0669>_;
and Ephraim
<0669>_,
Manasseh
<04519>_:
[and] they together
<03162>
[shall be] against Judah
<03063>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto them that decree
<02710> (8802)
unrighteous
<0205>
decrees
<02711>_,
and that write
<03789> (8764)
grievousness
<05999>
[which] they have prescribed
<03789> (8765)_;
{that write...: or, to the writers that write grievousness}
To turn aside
<05186> (8687)
the needy
<01800>
from judgment
<01779>_,
and to take away
<01497> (8800)
the right
<04941>
from the poor
<06041>
of my people
<05971>_,
that widows
<0490>
may be their prey
<07998>_,
and [that] they may rob
<0962> (8799)
the fatherless
<03490>_!
And what will ye do
<06213> (8799)
in the day
<03117>
of visitation
<06486>_,
and in the desolation
<07722>
[which] shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<04801>_?
to whom will ye flee
<05127> (8799)
for help
<05833>_?
and where will ye leave
<05800> (8799)
your glory
<03519>_?
Without me they shall
<01115>
bow down
<03766> (8804)
under the prisoners
<0616>_,
and they shall fall
<05307> (8799)
under the slain
<02026> (8803)_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
O
<01945>
Assyrian
<0804>_,
the rod
<07626>
of mine anger
<0639>_,
and the staff
<04294>
in their hand
<03027>
is mine indignation
<02195>_.
{O...: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
I will send
<07971> (8762)
him against an hypocritical
<02611>
nation
<01471>_,
and against the people
<05971>
of my wrath
<05678>
will I give him a charge
<06680> (8762)_,
to take
<07997> (8800)
the spoil
<07998>_,
and to take
<0962> (8800)
the prey
<0957>_,
and to tread them down
<07760> (8800) <04823>
like the mire
<02563>
of the streets
<02351>_.
{tread...: Heb. lay them a treading}
Howbeit he meaneth
<01819> (8762)
not so, neither doth his heart
<03824>
think
<02803> (8799)
so; but [it is] in his heart
<03824>
to destroy
<08045> (8687)
and cut off
<03772> (8687)
nations
<01471>
not a few
<04592>_.
For he saith
<0559> (8799)_,
[Are] not my princes
<08269>
altogether
<03162>
kings
<04428>_?
[Is] not Calno
<03641>
as Carchemish
<03751>_?
[is] not Hamath
<02574>
as Arpad
<0774>_?
[is] not Samaria
<08111>
as Damascus
<01834>_?
As my hand
<03027>
hath found
<04672> (8804)
the kingdoms
<04467>
of the idols
<0457>_,
and whose graven images
<06456>
did excel them of Jerusalem
<03389>
and of Samaria
<08111>_;
Shall I not, as I have done
<06213> (8804)
unto Samaria
<08111>
and her idols
<0457>_,
so do
<06213> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
and her idols
<06091>_?
Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord
<0136>
hath performed
<01214> (8762)
his whole work
<04639>
upon mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>
and on Jerusalem
<03389>_,
I will punish
<06485> (8799)
the fruit
<06529>
of the stout
<01433>
heart
<03824>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and the glory
<08597>
of his high
<07312>
looks
<05869>_.
{punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout...: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saith
<0559> (8804)_,
By the strength
<03581>
of my hand
<03027>
I have done
<06213> (8804)
[it], and by my wisdom
<02451>_;
for I am prudent
<0995> (8738)_:
and I have removed
<05493> (8686)
the bounds
<01367>
of the people
<05971>_,
and have robbed
<08154> (8782)
their treasures
<06259> (8675) <06264>_,
and I have put down
<03381> (8686)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
like a valiant
<047> <03524>
[man]: {a valiant...: or, many people}
And my hand
<03027>
hath found
<04672> (8799)
as a nest
<07064>
the riches
<02428>
of the people
<05971>_:
and as one gathereth
<0622> (8800)
eggs
<01000>
[that are] left
<05800> (8803)_,
have I gathered
<0622> (8804)
all the earth
<0776>_;
and there was none that moved
<05074> (8802)
the wing
<03671>_,
or opened
<06475> (8802)
the mouth
<06310>_,
or peeped
<06850> (8772)_.
Shall the axe
<01631>
boast
<06286> (8691)
itself against him that heweth
<02672> (8802)
therewith? [or] shall the saw
<04883>
magnify
<01431> (8691)
itself against him that shaketh
<05130> (8688)
it? as if the rod
<07626>
should shake
<05130> (8687)
[itself] against them that lift it up
<07311> (8688)_,
[or] as if the staff
<04294>
should lift up
<07311> (8687)
[itself, as if it were] no wood
<06086>_.
{the rod...: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if...: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore shall the Lord
<0113>_,
the Lord
<0136> (8676) <03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
send
<07971> (8762)
among his fat ones
<04924>
leanness
<07332>_;
and under his glory
<03519>
he shall kindle
<03344> (8799)
a burning
<03350>
like the burning of a fire
<0784>_.
And the light
<0216>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be for a fire
<0784>_,
and his Holy One
<06918>
for a flame
<03852>_:
and it shall burn
<01197> (8804)
and devour
<0398> (8804)
his thorns
<07898>
and his briers
<08068>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_;
And shall consume
<03615> (8762)
the glory
<03519>
of his forest
<03293>_,
and of his fruitful field
<03759>_,
both soul
<05315>
and body
<01320>_:
and they shall be as when a standardbearer
<05263> (8802)
fainteth
<04549> (8800)_.
{both...: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh}
And the rest
<07605>
of the trees
<06086>
of his forest
<03293>
shall be few
<04557>_,
that a child
<05288>
may write
<03789> (8799)
them. {few: Heb. number}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the remnant
<07605>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and such as are escaped
<06413>
of the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
shall no more again
<03254> (8686)
stay
<08172> (8736)
upon him that smote
<05221> (8688)
them; but shall stay
<08172> (8738)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
in truth
<0571>_.
The remnant
<07605>
shall return
<07725> (8799)_,
[even] the remnant
<07605>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
unto the mighty
<01368>
God
<0410>_.
For though thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
be as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_,
[yet] a remnant
<07605>
of them shall return
<07725> (8799)_:
the consumption
<03631>
decreed
<02782> (8803)
shall overflow
<07857> (8802)
with righteousness
<06666>_.
{of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
For the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
shall make
<06213> (8802)
a consumption
<03617>_,
even determined
<02782> (8737)_,
in the midst
<07130>
of all the land
<0776>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
O my people
<05971>
that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
in Zion
<06726>_,
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of the Assyrian
<0804>_:
he shall smite
<05221> (8686)
thee with a rod
<07626>_,
and shall lift up
<05375> (8799)
his staff
<04294>
against thee, after the manner
<01870>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{and shall...: or, but he shall lift up his staff for}
For yet a very
<04213>
little while
<04592>_,
and the indignation
<02195>
shall cease
<03615> (8804)_,
and mine anger
<0639>
in their destruction
<08399>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall stir up
<05782> (8790)
a scourge
<07752>
for him according to the slaughter
<04347>
of Midian
<04080>
at the rock
<06697>
of Oreb
<06159>_:
and [as] his rod
<04294>
[was] upon the sea
<03220>_,
so shall he lift it up
<05375> (8804)
after the manner
<01870>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] his burden
<05448>
shall be taken away
<05493> (8799)
from off thy shoulder
<07926>_,
and his yoke
<05923>
from off thy neck
<06677>_,
and the yoke
<05923>
shall be destroyed
<02254> (8795)
because
<06440>
of the anointing
<08081>_.
{be taken...: Heb. remove}
He is come
<0935> (8804)
to Aiath
<05857>_,
he is passed
<05674> (8804)
to Migron
<04051>_;
at Michmash
<04363>
he hath laid up
<06485> (8686)
his carriages
<03627>_:
They are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the passage
<04569>_:
they have taken up their lodging
<04411>
at Geba
<01387>_;
Ramah
<07414>
is afraid
<02729> (8804)_;
Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>
is fled
<05127> (8804)_.
Lift up
<06670> (8761)
thy voice
<06963>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of
<01530>
Gallim
<01554>_:
cause it to be heard
<07181> (8685)
unto Laish
<03919>_,
O poor
<06041>
Anathoth
<06068>_.
{Lift...: Heb. Cry shrill with}
Madmenah
<04088>
is removed
<05074> (8804)_;
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gebim
<01374>
gather themselves to flee
<05756> (8689)_.
As yet shall he remain
<05975> (8800)
at Nob
<05011>
that day
<03117>_:
he shall shake
<05130> (8787)
his hand
<03027>
[against] the mount
<02022>
of the daughter
<01323> (8675) <01004>
of Zion
<06726>_,
the hill
<01389>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Behold, the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
shall lop
<05586> (8764)
the bough
<06288>
with terror
<04637>_:
and the high ones
<07311> (8802)
of stature
<06967>
[shall be] hewn down
<01438> (8803)_,
and the haughty
<01364>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8799)_.
And he shall cut down
<05362> (8765)
the thickets
<05442>
of the forest
<03293>
with iron
<01270>_,
and Lebanon
<03844>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by a mighty one
<0117>_.
{by...: or, mightily}
And there shall come forth
<03318> (8804)
a rod
<02415>
out of the stem
<01503>
of Jesse
<03448>_,
and a Branch
<05342>
shall grow
<06509> (8799)
out of his roots
<08328>_:
And the spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall rest
<05117> (8804)
upon him, the spirit
<07307>
of wisdom
<02451>
and understanding
<0998>_,
the spirit
<07307>
of counsel
<06098>
and might
<01369>_,
the spirit
<07307>
of knowledge
<01847>
and of the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
And shall make him of quick understanding
<07306> (8687)
in the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and he shall not judge
<08199> (8799)
after the sight
<04758>
of his eyes
<05869>_,
neither reprove
<03198> (8686)
after the hearing
<04926>
of his ears
<0241>_:
{quick...: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousness
<06664>
shall he judge
<08199> (8804)
the poor
<01800>_,
and reprove
<03198> (8689)
with equity
<04334>
for the meek
<06035>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and he shall smite
<05221> (8689)
the earth
<0776>
with the rod
<07626>
of his mouth
<06310>_,
and with the breath
<07307>
of his lips
<08193>
shall he slay
<04191> (8686)
the wicked
<07563>_.
{reprove: or, argue}
And righteousness
<06664>
shall be the girdle
<0232>
of his loins
<04975>_,
and faithfulness
<0530>
the girdle
<0232>
of his reins
<02504>_.
The wolf
<02061>
also shall dwell
<01481> (8804)
with the lamb
<03532>_,
and the leopard
<05246>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
with the kid
<01423>_;
and the calf
<05695>
and the young lion
<03715>
and the fatling
<04806>
together
<03162>_;
and a little
<06996>
child
<05288>
shall lead
<05090> (8802)
them.
And the cow
<06510>
and the bear
<01677>
shall feed
<07462> (8799)_;
their young ones
<03206>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
together
<03162>_:
and the lion
<0738>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
straw
<08401>
like the ox
<01241>_.
And the sucking child
<03243> (8802)
shall play
<08173> (8773)
on the hole
<02352>
of the asp
<06620>_,
and the weaned child
<01580> (8803)
shall put
<01911> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
on the cockatrice
<06848>_'
den
<03975>_.
{cockatrice': or, adder's}
They shall not hurt
<07489> (8686)
nor destroy
<07843> (8686)
in all my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_:
for the earth
<0776>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of the knowledge
<01844>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as the waters
<04325>
cover
<03680> (8764)
the sea
<03220>_.
And in that day
<03117>
there shall be a root
<08328>
of Jesse
<03448>_,
which shall stand
<05975> (8802)
for an ensign
<05251>
of the people
<05971>_;
to it shall the Gentiles
<01471>
seek
<01875> (8799)_:
and his rest
<04496>
shall be glorious
<03519>_.
{glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the Lord
<0136>
shall set
<03254> (0)
his hand
<03027>
again
<03254> (8686)
the second time
<08145>
to recover
<07069> (8800)
the remnant
<07605>
of his people
<05971>_,
which shall be left
<07604> (8735)_,
from Assyria
<0804>_,
and from Egypt
<04714>_,
and from Pathros
<06624>_,
and from Cush
<03568>_,
and from Elam
<05867>_,
and from Shinar
<08152>_,
and from Hamath
<02574>_,
and from the islands
<0339>
of the sea
<03220>_.
And he shall set up
<05375> (8804)
an ensign
<05251>
for the nations
<01471>_,
and shall assemble
<0622> (8804)
the outcasts
<01760> (8737)
of Israel
<03478>_,
and gather together
<06908> (8762)
the dispersed
<05310> (8803)
of Judah
<03063>
from the four
<0702>
corners
<03671>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{corners: Heb. wings}
The envy
<07068>
also of Ephraim
<0669>
shall depart
<05493> (8804)_,
and the adversaries
<06887> (8802)
of Judah
<03063>
shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)_:
Ephraim
<0669>
shall not envy
<07065> (8762)
Judah
<03063>_,
and Judah
<03063>
shall not vex
<06887> (8799)
Ephraim
<0669>_.
But they shall fly
<05774> (8804)
upon the shoulders
<03802>
of the Philistines
<06430>
toward the west
<03220>_;
they shall spoil
<0962> (8799)
them
<01121>
of the east
<06924>
together
<03162>_:
they shall lay
<04916>
their hand
<03027>
upon Edom
<0123>
and Moab
<04124>_;
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
shall obey
<04928>
them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay...: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey...: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORD
<03068>
shall utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
the tongue
<03956>
of the Egyptian
<04714>
sea
<03220>_;
and with his mighty
<05868>
wind
<07307>
shall he shake
<05130> (8689)
his hand
<03027>
over the river
<05104>_,
and shall smite
<05221> (8689)
it in the seven
<07651>
streams
<05158>_,
and make [men] go over
<01869> (8689)
dryshod
<05275>_.
{dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highway
<04546>
for the remnant
<07605>
of his people
<05971>_,
which
<0834>
shall be left
<07604> (8735)_,
from Assyria
<0804>_;
like as it was to Israel
<03478>
in the day
<03117>
that he came up
<05927> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And in that day
<03117>
thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
I will praise
<03034> (8686)
thee: though thou wast angry
<0599> (8804)
with me, thine anger
<0639>
is turned away
<07725> (8799)_,
and thou comfortedst
<05162> (8762)
me.
Behold, God
<0410>
[is] my salvation
<03444>_;
I will trust
<0982> (8799)_,
and not be afraid
<06342> (8799)_:
for the LORD
<03050>
JEHOVAH
<03068>
[is] my strength
<05797>
and [my] song
<02176>_;
he also is become my salvation
<03444>_.
Therefore with joy
<08342>
shall ye draw
<07579> (8804)
water
<04325>
out of the wells
<04599>
of salvation
<03444>_.
And in that day
<03117>
shall ye say
<0559> (8804)_,
Praise
<03034> (8685)
the LORD
<03068>_,
call
<07121> (8798)
upon his name
<08034>_,
declare
<03045> (8685)
his doings
<05949>
among the people
<05971>_,
make mention
<02142> (8685)
that his name
<08034>
is exalted
<07682> (8737)_.
{call...: or, proclaim}
Sing
<02167> (8761)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
for he hath done
<06213> (8804)
excellent things
<01348>_:
this [is] known
<03045> (8716) (8675) <03045> (8794)
in all the earth
<0776>_.
Cry out
<06670> (8761)
and shout
<07442> (8798)_,
thou inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Zion
<06726>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
in the midst
<07130>
of thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
The burden
<04853>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
which Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
did see
<02372> (8804)_.
Lift ye up
<05375> (8798)
a banner
<05251>
upon the high
<08192> (8737)
mountain
<02022>_,
exalt
<07311> (8685)
the voice
<06963>
unto them, shake
<05130> (8685)
the hand
<03027>_,
that they may go
<0935> (8799)
into the gates
<06607>
of the nobles
<05081>_.
I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
my sanctified ones
<06942> (8794)_,
I have also called
<07121> (8804)
my mighty ones
<01368>
for mine anger
<0639>_,
[even] them that rejoice
<05947>
in my highness
<01346>_.
The noise
<06963>
of a multitude
<01995>
in the mountains
<02022>_,
like as
<01823>
of a great
<07227>
people
<05971>_;
a tumultuous
<07588>
noise
<06963>
of the kingdoms
<04467>
of nations
<01471>
gathered together
<0622> (8737)_:
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
mustereth
<06485> (8764)
the host
<06635>
of the battle
<04421>_.
{like...: Heb. the likeness of}
They come
<0935> (8802)
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_,
from the end
<07097>
of heaven
<08064>_,
[even] the LORD
<03068>_,
and the weapons
<03627>
of his indignation
<02195>_,
to destroy
<02254> (8763)
the whole land
<0776>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)
ye; for the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] at hand
<07138>_;
it shall come
<0935> (8799)
as a destruction
<07701>
from the Almighty
<07706>_.
Therefore shall all hands
<03027>
be faint
<07503> (8799)_,
and every man's
<0582>
heart
<03824>
shall melt
<04549> (8735)_:
{be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraid
<0926> (8738)_:
pangs
<06735>
and sorrows
<02256>
shall take hold
<0270> (8799)
of them; they shall be in pain
<02342> (8799)
as a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:
they shall be amazed
<08539> (8799)
one
<0376>
at another
<07453>_;
their faces
<06440>
[shall be as] flames
<03851>_.
{be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one...: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_,
cruel
<0394>
both with wrath
<05678>
and fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
to lay
<07760> (8800)
the land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_:
and he shall destroy
<08045> (8686)
the sinners
<02400>
thereof out of it.
For the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>
and the constellations
<03685>
thereof shall not give
<01984> (8686)
their light
<0216>_:
the sun
<08121>
shall be darkened
<02821> (8804)
in his going forth
<03318> (8800)_,
and the moon
<03394>
shall not cause her light
<0216>
to shine
<05050> (8686)_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
the world
<08398>
for [their] evil
<07451>_,
and the wicked
<07563>
for their iniquity
<05771>_;
and I will cause the arrogancy
<01347>
of the proud
<02086>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_,
and will lay low
<08213> (8686)
the haughtiness
<01346>
of the terrible
<06184>_.
I will make a man
<0582>
more precious
<03365> (8686)
than fine gold
<06337>_;
even a man
<0120>
than the golden wedge
<03800>
of Ophir
<0211>_.
Therefore I will shake
<07264> (8686)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall remove
<07493> (8799)
out of her place
<04725>_,
in the wrath
<05678>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and in the day
<03117>
of his fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_.
And it shall be as the chased
<05080> (8716)
roe
<06643>_,
and as a sheep
<06629>
that no man taketh up
<06908> (8764)_:
they shall every man
<0376>
turn
<06437> (8799)
to his own people
<05971>_,
and flee
<05127> (8799)
every one
<0376>
into his own land
<0776>_.
Every one that is found
<04672> (8737)
shall be thrust through
<01856> (8735)_;
and every one that is joined
<05595> (8737)
[unto them] shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_.
Their children
<05768>
also shall be dashed to pieces
<07376> (8792)
before their eyes
<05869>_;
their houses
<01004>
shall be spoiled
<08155> (8735)_,
and their wives
<0802>
ravished
<07901> (8735) (8675) <07693> (8735)_.
Behold, I will stir up
<05782> (8688)
the Medes
<04074>
against them, which shall not regard
<02803> (8799)
silver
<03701>_;
and [as for] gold
<02091>_,
they shall not delight
<02654> (8799)
in it.
[Their] bows
<07198>
also shall dash
<07376> (0)
the young men
<05288>
to pieces
<07376> (8762)_;
and they shall have no pity
<07355> (8762)
on the fruit
<06529>
of the womb
<0990>_;
their eye
<05869>
shall not spare
<02347> (8799)
children
<01121>_.
And Babylon
<0894>_,
the glory
<06643>
of kingdoms
<04467>_,
the beauty
<08597>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_'
excellency
<01347>_,
shall be as when God
<0430>
overthrew
<04114>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>_.
{as...: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall never
<05331>
be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,
neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)
in from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_:
neither shall the Arabian
<06163>
pitch tent
<0167> (8762)
there; neither shall the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
make their fold
<07257> (8686)
there.
But wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
shall lie
<07257> (8804)
there; and their houses
<01004>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of doleful creatures
<0255>_;
and owls
<01323> <03284>
shall dwell
<07931> (8804)
there, and satyrs
<08163>
shall dance
<07540> (8762)
there. {wild...: Heb. Ziim} {doleful...: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>
shall cry
<06030> (8804)
in their desolate houses
<0490>_,
and dragons
<08577>
in [their] pleasant
<06027>
palaces
<01964>_:
and her time
<06256>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and her days
<03117>
shall not be prolonged
<04900> (8735)_.
{the wild...: Heb. Iim} {desolate...: or, palaces}
For the LORD
<03068>
will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on Jacob
<03290>_,
and will yet choose
<0977> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_,
and set
<03240> (8689)
them in their own land
<0127>_:
and the strangers
<01616>
shall be joined
<03867> (8738)
with them, and they shall cleave
<05596> (8738)
to the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
And the people
<05971>
shall take
<03947> (8804)
them, and bring
<0935> (8689)
them to their place
<04725>_:
and the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
shall possess
<05157> (8694)
them in the land
<0127>
of the LORD
<03068>
for servants
<05650>
and handmaids
<08198>_:
and they shall take them captives
<07617> (8802)_,
whose captives
<07617> (8802)
they were; and they shall rule
<07287> (8804)
over their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_.
{whose...: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the day
<03117>
that the LORD
<03068>
shall give thee rest
<05117> (8687)
from thy sorrow
<06090>_,
and from thy fear
<07267>_,
and from the hard
<07186>
bondage
<05656>
wherein thou wast made to serve
<05647> (8795)_,
That thou shalt take up
<05375> (8804)
this proverb
<04912>
against the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
How hath the oppressor
<05065> (8802)
ceased
<07673> (8804)_!
the golden city
<04062>
ceased
<07673> (8804)_!
{proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}
The LORD
<03068>
hath broken
<07665> (8804)
the staff
<04294>
of the wicked
<07563>_,
[and] the sceptre
<07626>
of the rulers
<04910> (8802)_.
He who smote
<05221> (8688)
the people
<05971>
in wrath
<05678>
with a continual
<01115> <05627>
stroke
<04347>_,
he that ruled
<07287> (8802)
the nations
<01471>
in anger
<0639>_,
is persecuted
<04783>_,
[and] none
<01097>
hindereth
<02820> (8804)_.
{a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earth
<0776>
is at rest
<05117> (8804)_,
[and] is quiet
<08252> (8804)_:
they break forth
<06476> (8804)
into singing
<07440>_.
Yea, the fir trees
<01265>
rejoice
<08055> (8804)
at thee, [and] the cedars
<0730>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
[saying], Since thou art laid down
<07901> (8804)_,
no feller
<03772> (8802)
is come up
<05927> (8799)
against us.
Hell
<07585>
from beneath is moved
<07264> (8804)
for thee to meet
<07125> (8800)
[thee] at thy coming
<0935> (8800)_:
it stirreth up
<05782> (8790)
the dead
<07496>
for thee, [even] all the chief ones
<06260>
of the earth
<0776>_;
it hath raised up
<06965> (8689)
from their thrones
<03678>
all the kings
<04428>
of the nations
<01471>_.
{Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speak
<06030> (8799)
and say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, Art thou also become weak
<02470> (8795)
as we? art thou become like
<04911> (8738)
unto us?
Thy pomp
<01347>
is brought down
<03381> (8717)
to the grave
<07585>_,
[and] the noise
<01998>
of thy viols
<05035>_:
the worm
<07415>
is spread
<03331> (8714)
under thee, and the worms
<08438>
cover
<04374>
thee.
How art thou fallen
<05307> (8804)
from heaven
<08064>_,
O Lucifer
<01966>_,
son
<01121>
of the morning
<07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_!
[how] art thou cut down
<01438> (8738)
to the ground
<0776>_,
which didst weaken
<02522> (8802)
the nations
<01471>_!
{O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast said
<0559> (8804)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
I will ascend
<05927> (8799)
into heaven
<08064>_,
I will exalt
<07311> (8686)
my throne
<03678>
above
<04605>
the stars
<03556>
of God
<0410>_:
I will sit
<03427> (8799)
also upon the mount
<02022>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
in the sides
<03411>
of the north
<06828>_:
I will ascend
<05927> (8799)
above the heights
<01116>
of the clouds
<05645>_;
I will be like
<01819> (8691)
the most High
<05945>_.
Yet thou shalt be brought down
<03381> (8714)
to hell
<07585>_,
to the sides
<03411>
of the pit
<0953>_.
They that see
<07200> (8802)
thee shall narrowly look
<07688> (8686)
upon thee, [and] consider
<0995> (8709)
thee, [saying, Is] this the man
<0376>
that made the earth
<0776>
to tremble
<07264> (8688)_,
that did shake
<07493> (8688)
kingdoms
<04467>_;
[That] made
<07760> (8804)
the world
<08398>
as a wilderness
<04057>_,
and destroyed
<02040> (8804)
the cities
<05892>
thereof; [that] opened
<06605> (8804)
not the house
<01004>
of his prisoners
<0615>_?
{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kings
<04428>
of the nations
<01471>_,
[even] all of them, lie
<07901> (8804)
in glory
<03519>_,
every one
<0376>
in his own house
<01004>_.
But thou art cast out
<07993> (8717)
of thy grave
<06913>
like an abominable
<08581> (8737)
branch
<05342>_,
[and as] the raiment
<03830>
of those that are slain
<02026> (8803)_,
thrust through
<02944> (8794)
with a sword
<02719>_,
that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the stones
<068>
of the pit
<0953>_;
as a carcase
<06297>
trodden under feet
<0947> (8716)_.
Thou shalt not be joined
<03161> (8799)
with them in burial
<06900>_,
because thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)
thy land
<0776>_,
[and] slain
<02026> (8804)
thy people
<05971>_:
the seed
<02233>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)
shall never
<05769>
be renowned
<07121> (8735)_.
Prepare
<03559> (8685)
slaughter
<04293>
for his children
<01121>
for the iniquity
<05771>
of their fathers
<01>_;
that they do not
<01077>
rise
<06965> (8799)_,
nor possess
<03423> (8804)
the land
<0776>_,
nor fill
<04390> (8804)
the face
<06440>
of the world
<08398>
with cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.
For I will rise up
<06965> (8804)
against them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and cut off
<03772> (8689)
from Babylon
<0894>
the name
<08034>_,
and remnant
<07605>_,
and son
<05209>_,
and nephew
<05220>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will also make
<07760> (8804)
it a possession
<04180>
for the bittern
<07090>_,
and pools
<098>
of water
<04325>_:
and I will sweep
<02894> (8773)
it with the besom
<04292>
of destruction
<08045> (8687)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Surely as I have thought
<01819> (8765)_,
so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed
<03289> (8804)_,
[so] shall it stand
<06965> (8799)_:
That I will break
<07665> (8800)
the Assyrian
<0804>
in my land
<0776>_,
and upon my mountains
<02022>
tread him under foot
<0947> (8799)_:
then shall his yoke
<05923>
depart
<05493> (8804)
from off them, and his burden
<05448>
depart
<05493> (8799)
from off their shoulders
<07926>_.
This [is] the purpose
<06098>
that is purposed
<03289> (8803)
upon the whole earth
<0776>_:
and this [is] the hand
<03027>
that is stretched out
<05186> (8803)
upon all the nations
<01471>_.
For the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)_,
and who shall disannul
<06565> (8686)
[it]? and his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)_,
and who shall turn it back
<07725> (8686)_?
In the year
<08141>
that king
<04428>
Ahaz
<0271>
died
<04194>
was this burden
<04853>_.
Rejoice
<08055> (8799)
not thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,
because the rod
<07626>
of him that smote
<05221> (8688)
thee is broken
<07665> (8738)_:
for out of the serpent's
<05175>
root
<08328>
shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
a cockatrice
<06848>_,
and his fruit
<06529>
[shall be] a fiery
<08314> (0)
flying
<05774> (8789)
serpent
<08314>_.
{cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstborn
<01060>
of the poor
<01800>
shall feed
<07462> (8804)_,
and the needy
<034>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
in safety
<0983>_:
and I will kill
<04191> (8689)
thy root
<08328>
with famine
<07458>_,
and he shall slay
<02026> (8799)
thy remnant
<07611>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O gate
<08179>_;
cry
<02199> (8798)_,
O city
<05892>_;
thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,
[art] dissolved
<04127> (8738)_:
for there shall come
<0935> (8804)
from the north
<06828>
a smoke
<06227>_,
and none [shall be] alone
<0909> (8802)
in his appointed times
<04151>_.
{none...: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed...: or, assemblies}
What shall [one] then answer
<06030> (8799)
the messengers
<04397>
of the nation
<01471>_?
That the LORD
<03068>
hath founded
<03245> (8765)
Zion
<06726>_,
and the poor
<06041>
of his people
<05971>
shall trust
<02620> (8799)
in it. {trust...: or, betake themselves unto it}
The burden
<04853>
of Moab
<04124>_.
Because in the night
<03915>
Ar
<06144>
of Moab
<04124>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;
because in the night
<03915>
Kir
<07024>
of Moab
<04124>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;
{brought...: or, cut off}
He is gone up
<05927> (8804)
to Bajith
<01006>_,
and to Dibon
<01769>_,
the high places
<01116>_,
to weep
<01065>_:
Moab
<04124>
shall howl
<03213> (8686)
over Nebo
<05015>_,
and over Medeba
<04311>_:
on all their heads
<07218>
[shall be] baldness
<07144>_,
[and] every beard
<02206>
cut off
<01438> (8803)_.
In their streets
<02351>
they shall gird
<02296> (8804)
themselves with sackcloth
<08242>_:
on the tops
<01406>
of their houses, and in their streets
<07339>_,
every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_,
weeping
<01065>
abundantly
<03381> (8802)_.
{weeping...: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}
And Heshbon
<02809>
shall cry
<02199> (8799)_,
and Elealeh
<0500>_:
their voice
<06963>
shall be heard
<08085> (8738)
[even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_:
therefore the armed soldiers
<02502> (8803)
of Moab
<04124>
shall cry out
<07321> (8686)_;
his life
<05315>
shall be grievous
<03415> (8804)
unto him.
My heart
<03820>
shall cry out
<02199> (8799)
for Moab
<04124>_;
his fugitives
<01280>
[shall flee] unto Zoar
<06820>_,
an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<07992>_:
for by the mounting up
<04608>
of Luhith
<03872>
with weeping
<01065>
shall they go it up
<05927> (8799)_;
for in the way
<01870>
of Horonaim
<02773>
they shall raise up
<05782> (8787)
a cry
<02201>
of destruction
<07667>_.
{his...: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For the waters
<04325>
of Nimrim
<05249>
shall be desolate
<04923>_:
for the hay
<02682>
is withered away
<03001> (8804)_,
the grass
<01877>
faileth
<03615> (8804)_,
there is no green thing
<03418>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
Therefore the abundance
<03502>
they have gotten
<06213> (8804)_,
and that which they have laid up
<06486>_,
shall they carry away
<05375> (8799)
to the brook
<05158>
of the willows
<06155>_.
{brook...: or, valley of the Arabians}
For the cry
<02201>
is gone round about
<05362> (8689)
the borders
<01366>
of Moab
<04124>_;
the howling
<03215>
thereof unto Eglaim
<097>_,
and the howling
<03215>
thereof unto Beerelim
<0879>_.
For the waters
<04325>
of Dimon
<01775>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of blood
<01818>_:
for I will bring
<07896> (8799)
more
<03254> (8737)
upon Dimon
<01775>_,
lions
<0738>
upon him that escapeth
<06413>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and upon the remnant
<07611>
of the land
<0127>_.
{more: Heb. additions}
Send
<07971> (8798)
ye the lamb
<03733>
to the ruler
<04910> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
from Sela
<05554>
to the wilderness
<04057>_,
unto the mount
<02022>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_.
{Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock}
For it shall be, [that], as a wandering
<05074> (8802)
bird
<05775>
cast out
<07971> (8794)
of the nest
<07064>_,
[so] the daughters
<01323>
of Moab
<04124>
shall be at the fords
<04569>
of Arnon
<0769>_.
{cast...: or, a nest forsaken}
Take
<0935> (8685)
counsel
<06098>_,
execute
<06213> (8798)
judgment
<06415>_;
make
<07896> (8798)
thy shadow
<06738>
as the night
<03915>
in the midst
<08432>
of the noonday
<06672>_;
hide
<05641> (8761)
the outcasts
<05080> (8737)_;
bewray
<01540> (8762)
not him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.
{Take: Heb. Bring}
Let mine outcasts
<05080> (8737)
dwell
<01481> (8799)
with thee, Moab
<04124>_;
be
<01933> (8798)
thou a covert
<05643>
to them from the face
<06440>
of the spoiler
<07703> (8802)_:
for the extortioner
<04160> (8801)
is at an end
<0656> (8804)_,
the spoiler
<07701>
ceaseth
<03615> (8804)_,
the oppressors
<07429> (8802)
are consumed
<08552> (8804)
out of the land
<0776>_.
{extortioner: Heb. wringer} {the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down}
And in mercy
<02617>
shall the throne
<03678>
be established
<03559> (8717)_:
and he shall sit
<03427> (8804)
upon it in truth
<0571>
in the tabernacle
<0168>
of David
<01732>_,
judging
<08199> (8802)_,
and seeking
<01875> (8802)
judgment
<04941>_,
and hasting
<04106>
righteousness
<06664>_.
{established: or, prepared}
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the pride
<01347>
of Moab
<04124>_;
[he is] very
<03966>
proud
<01341>_:
[even] of his haughtiness
<01346>_,
and his pride
<01347>_,
and his wrath
<05678>_:
[but] his lies
<0907>
[shall] not [be] so.
Therefore shall Moab
<04124>
howl
<03213> (8686)
for Moab
<04124>_,
every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_:
for the foundations
<0808>
of Kirhareseth
<07025>
shall ye mourn
<01897> (8799)_;
surely [they are] stricken
<05218>_.
{mourn: or, mutter}
For the fields
<07709>
of Heshbon
<02809>
languish
<0535> (8797)_,
[and] the vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_:
the lords
<01167>
of the heathen
<01471>
have broken down
<01986> (8804)
the principal plants
<08291>
thereof, they are come
<05060> (8804)
[even] unto Jazer
<03270>_,
they wandered
<08582> (8804)
[through] the wilderness
<04057>_:
her branches
<07976>
are stretched out
<05203> (8738)_,
they are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_.
{stretched...: or, plucked up}
Therefore I will bewail
<01058> (8799)
with the weeping
<01065>
of Jazer
<03270>
the vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_:
I will water
<07301> (8762)
thee with my tears
<01832>_,
O Heshbon
<02809>_,
and Elealeh
<0500>_:
for the shouting
<01959>
for thy summer fruits
<07019>
and for thy harvest
<07105>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_.
{the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc}
And gladness
<08057>
is taken away
<0622> (8738)_,
and joy
<01524>
out of the plentiful field
<03759>_;
and in the vineyards
<03754>
there shall be no singing
<07442> (8792)_,
neither shall there be shouting
<07321> (8783)_:
the treaders
<01869> (8802)
shall tread out
<01869> (8799)
no wine
<03196>
in [their] presses
<03342>_;
I have made [their vintage] shouting
<01959>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
Wherefore my bowels
<04578>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
like an harp
<03658>
for Moab
<04124>_,
and mine inward parts
<07130>
for Kirharesh
<07025>_.
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen
<07200> (8738)
that Moab
<04124>
is weary
<03811> (8738)
on the high place
<01116>_,
that he shall come
<0935> (8804)
to his sanctuary
<04720>
to pray
<06419> (8692)_;
but he shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_.
This [is] the word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning Moab
<04124>
since that time
<0227>_.
But now the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Within three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
as the years
<08141>
of an hireling
<07916>_,
and the glory
<03519>
of Moab
<04124>
shall be contemned
<07034> (8738)_,
with all that great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_;
and the remnant
<07605>
[shall be] very
<04592>
small
<04213>
[and] feeble
<03808> <03524>_.
{feeble: or, not many}
The burden
<04853>
of Damascus
<01834>_.
Behold, Damascus
<01834>
is taken away
<05493> (8716)
from [being] a city
<05892>_,
and it shall be a ruinous
<04654>
heap
<04596>_.
The cities
<05892>
of Aroer
<06177>
[are] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_:
they shall be for flocks
<05739>_,
which shall lie down
<07257> (8804)_,
and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
The fortress
<04013>
also shall cease
<07673> (8738)
from Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the kingdom
<04467>
from Damascus
<01834>_,
and the remnant
<07605>
of Syria
<0758>_:
they shall be as the glory
<03519>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And in that day
<03117>
it shall come to pass, [that] the glory
<03519>
of Jacob
<03290>
shall be made thin
<01809> (8735)_,
and the fatness
<04924>
of his flesh
<01320>
shall wax lean
<07329> (8735)_.
And it shall be as when the harvestman
<07105>
gathereth
<0622> (8800)
the corn
<07054>_,
and reapeth
<07114> (8799)
the ears
<07641>
with his arm
<02220>_;
and it shall be as he that gathereth
<03950> (8764)
ears
<07641>
in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
Yet gleaning grapes
<05955>
shall be left
<07604> (8738)
in it, as the shaking
<05363>
of an olive tree
<02132>_,
two
<08147>
[or] three
<07969>
berries
<01620>
in the top
<07218>
of the uppermost bough
<0534>_,
four
<0702>
[or] five
<02568>
in the outmost fruitful
<06509> (8802)
branches
<05585>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
At that day
<03117>
shall a man
<0120>
look
<08159> (8799)
to his Maker
<06213> (8802)_,
and his eyes
<05869>
shall have respect
<07200> (8799)
to the Holy
<06918>
One of Israel
<03478>_.
And he shall not look
<08159> (8799)
to the altars
<04196>_,
the work
<04639>
of his hands
<03027>_,
neither shall respect
<07200> (8799)
[that] which his fingers
<0676>
have made
<06213> (8804)_,
either the groves
<0842>_,
or the images
<02553>_.
{images: or, sun images}
In that day
<03117>
shall his strong
<04581>
cities
<05892>
be as a forsaken
<05800> (8803)
bough
<02793>_,
and an uppermost branch
<0534>_,
which they left
<05800> (8804)
because
<06440>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and there shall be desolation
<08077>_.
Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)
the God
<0430>
of thy salvation
<03468>_,
and hast not been mindful
<02142> (8804)
of the rock
<06697>
of thy strength
<04581>_,
therefore shalt thou plant
<05193> (8799)
pleasant
<05282>
plants
<05194>_,
and shalt set
<02232> (8799)
it with strange
<02114> (8801)
slips
<02156>_:
In the day
<03117>
shalt thou make thy plant
<05194>
to grow
<07735> (8770)_,
and in the morning
<01242>
shalt thou make thy seed
<02233>
to flourish
<06524> (8686)_:
[but] the harvest
<07105>
[shall be] a heap
<05067>
in the day
<03117>
of grief
<02470> (8737)
and of desperate
<0605> (8803)
sorrow
<03511>_.
{a heap...: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}
Woe
<01945>
to the multitude
<01995>
of many
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
[which] make a noise
<01993> (8799)
like the noise
<01993> (8800)
of the seas
<03220>_;
and to the rushing
<07588>
of nations
<03816>_,
[that] make a rushing like the rushing
<07582> (8735)
of mighty
<03524>
waters
<04325>_!
{multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}
The nations
<03816>
shall rush
<07582> (8735)
like the rushing
<07588>
of many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_:
but [God] shall rebuke
<01605> (8804)
them, and they shall flee
<05127> (8804)
far off
<04801>_,
and shall be chased
<07291> (8795)
as the chaff
<04671>
of the mountains
<02022>
before
<06440>
the wind
<07307>_,
and like a rolling thing
<01534>
before
<06440>
the whirlwind
<05492>_.
{a rolling...: or, thistledown}
And behold at eveningtide
<06256> <06153>
trouble
<01091>_;
[and] before the morning
<01242>
he [is] not. This [is] the portion
<02506>
of them that spoil
<08154> (8802)
us, and the lot
<01486>
of them that rob
<0962> (8802)
us.
Woe
<01945>
to the land
<0776>
shadowing
<06767>
with wings
<03671>_,
which [is] beyond
<05676>
the rivers
<05104>
of Ethiopia
<03568>_:
That sendeth
<07971> (8802)
ambassadors
<06735>
by the sea
<03220>_,
even in vessels
<03627>
of bulrushes
<01573>
upon
<06440>
the waters
<04325>_,
[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)_,
ye swift
<07031>
messengers
<04397>_,
to a nation
<01471>
scattered
<04900> (8794)
and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,
to a people
<05971>
terrible
<03372> (8737)
from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;
a nation
<01471>
meted out
<06978>
and trodden down
<04001>_,
whose land
<0776>
the rivers
<05104>
have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_!
{scattered...: or, outspread and polished} {meted...: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have...: or, despise}
All ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>_,
and dwellers
<07931> (8802)
on the earth
<0776>_,
see
<07200> (8799)
ye, when he lifteth up
<05375> (8800)
an ensign
<05251>
on the mountains
<02022>_;
and when he bloweth
<08628> (8800)
a trumpet
<07782>_,
hear
<08085> (8799)
ye.
For so
<03541>
the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, I will take my rest
<08252> (8799)_,
and I will consider
<05027> (8686)
in my dwelling place
<04349>
like a clear
<06703>
heat
<02527>
upon herbs
<0216>_,
[and] like a cloud
<05645>
of dew
<02919>
in the heat
<02527>
of harvest
<07105>_.
{consider...: or, regard my set dwelling} {upon...: or, after rain}
For afore
<06440>
the harvest
<07105>_,
when the bud
<06525>
is perfect
<08552> (8800)_,
and the sour grape
<01155>
is ripening
<01580> (8802)
in the flower
<05328>_,
he shall both cut off
<03772> (8804)
the sprigs
<02150>
with pruning hooks
<04211>_,
and take away
<05493> (8689)
[and] cut down
<08456> (8689)
the branches
<05189>_.
They shall be left
<05800> (8735)
together
<03162>
unto the fowls
<05861>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and to the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and the fowls
<05861>
shall summer
<06972> (8804)
upon them, and all the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>
shall winter
<02778> (8799)
upon them.
In that time
<06256>
shall the present
<07862>
be brought
<02986> (8714)
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
of a people
<05971>
scattered
<04900> (8794)
and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,
and from a people
<05971>
terrible
<03372> (8737)
from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;
a nation
<01471>
meted out
<06978>
and trodden under foot
<04001>_,
whose land
<0776>
the rivers
<05104>
have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_,
to the place
<04725>
of the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
{scattered...: or, outspread and polished}
The burden
<04853>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
rideth
<07392> (8802)
upon a swift
<07031>
cloud
<05645>_,
and shall come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_:
and the idols
<0457>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be moved
<05128> (8804)
at his presence
<06440>_,
and the heart
<03824>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall melt
<04549> (8735)
in the midst
<07130>
of it.
And I will set
<05526> (8773)
the Egyptians
<04714>
against the Egyptians
<04714>_:
and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)
every one
<0376>
against his brother
<0251>_,
and every one
<0376>
against his neighbour
<07453>_;
city
<05892>
against city
<05892>_,
[and] kingdom
<04467>
against kingdom
<04467>_.
{set: Heb. mingle}
And the spirit
<07307>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall fail
<01238> (8738)
in the midst
<07130>
thereof; and I will destroy
<01104> (8762)
the counsel
<06098>
thereof: and they shall seek
<01875> (8804)
to the idols
<0457>_,
and to the charmers
<0328>_,
and to them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,
and to the wizards
<03049>_.
{fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
And
<0853>
the Egyptians
<04714>
will I give over
<05534> (8765)
into the hand
<03027>
of a cruel
<07186>
lord
<0113>_;
and a fierce
<05794>
king
<04428>
shall rule
<04910> (8799)
over them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{give...: or, shut up}
And the waters
<04325>
shall fail
<05405> (8738)
from the sea
<03220>_,
and the river
<05104>
shall be wasted
<02717> (8799)
and dried up
<03001> (8804)_.
And they shall turn
<02186> (0)
the rivers
<05104>
far away
<02186> (8689)_;
[and] the brooks
<02975>
of defence
<04693>
shall be emptied
<01809> (8804)
and dried up
<02717> (8804)_:
the reeds
<07070>
and flags
<05488>
shall wither
<07060> (8804)_.
The paper reeds
<06169>
by the brooks
<02975>_,
by the mouth
<06310>
of the brooks
<02975>_,
and every thing sown
<04218>
by the brooks
<02975>_,
shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,
be driven away
<05086> (8738)_,
and be no [more]. {and be...: Heb. and shall not be}
The fishers
<01771>
also shall mourn
<0578> (8804)_,
and all they that cast
<07993> (8688)
angle
<02443>
into the brooks
<02975>
shall lament
<056> (8804)_,
and they that spread
<06566> (8802)
nets
<04365>
upon
<06440>
the waters
<04325>
shall languish
<0535> (8797)_.
Moreover they that work
<05647> (8802)
in fine
<08305>
flax
<06593>_,
and they that weave
<0707> (8802)
networks
<02355>_,
shall be confounded
<0954> (8804)_.
{networks: or, white works}
And they shall be broken
<01792> (8794)
in the purposes
<08356>
thereof, all that make
<06213> (8802)
sluices
<07938>
[and] ponds
<099>
for fish
<05315>_.
{purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}
Surely the princes
<08269>
of Zoan
<06814>
[are] fools
<0191>_,
the counsel
<06098>
of the wise
<02450>
counsellors
<03289> (8802)
of Pharaoh
<06547>
is become brutish
<01197> (8737)_:
how say
<0559> (8799)
ye unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
I [am] the son
<01121>
of the wise
<02450>_,
the son
<01121>
of ancient
<06924>
kings
<04428>_?
Where
<0335>
[are] they? where
<0645>
[are] thy wise
<02450>
[men]? and let them tell
<05046> (8686)
thee now, and let them know
<03045> (8799)
what the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)
upon Egypt
<04714>_.
The princes
<08269>
of Zoan
<06814>
are become fools
<02973> (8738)_,
the princes
<08269>
of Noph
<05297>
are deceived
<05377> (8738)_;
they have also seduced
<08582> (8689)
Egypt
<04714>_,
[even they that are] the stay
<06438>
of the tribes
<07626>
thereof. {they that...: or, governors: Heb. corners}
The LORD
<03068>
hath mingled
<04537> (8804)
a perverse
<05773>
spirit
<07307>
in the midst
<07130>
thereof: and they have caused Egypt
<04714>
to err
<08582> (8689)
in every work
<04639>
thereof, as a drunken
<07910>
[man] staggereth
<08582> (8736)
in his vomit
<06892>_.
{a perverse...: Heb. a spirit of perversities}
Neither shall there be [any] work
<04639>
for Egypt
<04714>_,
which the head
<07218>
or tail
<02180>_,
branch
<03712>
or rush
<0100>_,
may do
<06213> (8799)_.
In that day
<03117>
shall Egypt
<04714>
be like unto women
<0802>_:
and it shall be afraid
<02729> (8804)
and fear
<06342> (8804)
because
<06440>
of the shaking
<08573>
of the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which he shaketh
<05130> (8688)
over it.
And the land
<0127>
of Judah
<03063>
shall be a terror
<02283>
unto Egypt
<04714>_,
every one that maketh mention
<02142> (8686)
thereof shall be afraid
<06342> (8799)
in himself, because
<06440>
of the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which he hath determined
<03289> (8802)
against it.
In that day
<03117>
shall five
<02568>
cities
<05892>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
speak
<01696> (8764)
the language
<08193>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and swear
<07650> (8737)
to the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
one
<0259>
shall be called
<0559> (8735)_,
The city
<05892>
of destruction
<02041>_.
{the language: Heb. the lip} {of destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun}
In that day
<03117>
shall there be an altar
<04196>
to the LORD
<03068>
in the midst
<08432>
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and a pillar
<04676>
at
<0681>
the border
<01366>
thereof to the LORD
<03068>_.
And it shall be for a sign
<0226>
and for a witness
<05707>
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
for they shall cry
<06817> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
because
<06440>
of the oppressors
<03905> (8801)_,
and he shall send
<07971> (8799)
them a saviour
<03467> (8688)_,
and a great one
<07227>_,
and he shall deliver
<05337> (8689)
them.
And the LORD
<03068>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
and the Egyptians
<04714>
shall know
<03045> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
in that day
<03117>_,
and shall do
<05647> (8804)
sacrifice
<02077>
and oblation
<04503>_;
yea, they shall vow
<05087> (8804)
a vow
<05088>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and perform
<07999> (8765)
[it].
And the LORD
<03068>
shall smite
<05062> (8804)
Egypt
<04714>_:
he shall smite
<05062> (8800)
and heal
<07495> (8800)
[it]: and they shall return
<07725> (8804)
[even] to the LORD
<03068>_,
and he shall be intreated
<06279> (8738)
of them, and shall heal
<07495> (8804)
them.
In that day
<03117>
shall there be a highway
<04546>
out of Egypt
<04714>
to Assyria
<0804>_,
and the Assyrian
<0804>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and the Egyptian
<04714>
into Assyria
<0804>_,
and the Egyptians
<04714>
shall serve
<05647> (8804)
with the Assyrians
<0804>_.
In that day
<03117>
shall Israel
<03478>
be the third
<07992>
with Egypt
<04714>
and with Assyria
<0804>_,
[even] a blessing
<01293>
in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>_:
Whom the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall bless
<01288> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] Egypt
<04714>
my people
<05971>_,
and Assyria
<0804>
the work
<04639>
of my hands
<03027>_,
and Israel
<03478>
mine inheritance
<05159>_.
In the year
<08141>
that Tartan
<08661>
came
<0935> (8800)
unto Ashdod
<0795>_,
(when Sargon
<05623>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
sent
<07971> (8800)
him,) and fought
<03898> (8735)
against Ashdod
<0795>_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
it;
At the same time
<06256>
spake
<01696> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>
by
<03027>
Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and loose
<06605> (8765)
the sackcloth
<08242>
from off thy loins
<04975>_,
and put off
<02502> (8799)
thy shoe
<05275>
from thy foot
<07272>_.
And he did so
<06213> (8799)_,
walking
<01980> (8800)
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Like as my servant
<05650>
Isaiah
<03470>
hath walked
<01980> (8804)
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>
three
<07969>
years
<08141>
[for] a sign
<0226>
and wonder
<04159>
upon Egypt
<04714>
and upon Ethiopia
<03568>_;
So shall the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
lead away
<05090> (8799)
the Egyptians
<04714>
prisoners
<07628>_,
and the Ethiopians
<03568>
captives
<01546>_,
young
<05288>
and old
<02205>_,
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>_,
even with [their] buttocks
<08357>
uncovered
<02834> (8803)_,
to the shame
<06172>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{the Egyptians...: Heb. the captivity of Egypt} {shame: Heb. nakedness}
And they shall be afraid
<02865> (8804)
and ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Ethiopia
<03568>
their expectation
<04007>_,
and of Egypt
<04714>
their glory
<08597>_.
And the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of this isle
<0339>
shall say
<0559> (8804)
in that day
<03117>_,
Behold, such
<03541>
[is] our expectation
<04007>_,
whither we flee
<05127> (8804)
for help
<05833>
to be delivered
<05337> (8736)
from
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
and how shall we escape
<04422> (8735)_?
{isle: or, country}
The burden
<04853>
of the desert
<04057>
of the sea
<03220>_.
As whirlwinds
<05492>
in the south
<05045>
pass
<02498> (8800)
through; [so] it cometh
<0935> (8802)
from the desert
<04057>_,
from a terrible
<03372> (8737)
land
<0776>_.
A grievous
<07186>
vision
<02380>
is declared
<05046> (8717)
unto me; the treacherous dealer
<0898> (8802)
dealeth treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,
and the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
spoileth
<07703> (8802)_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
O Elam
<05867>_:
besiege
<06696> (8798)_,
O Media
<04074>_;
all the sighing
<0585>
thereof have I made to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
{grievous: Heb. hard}
Therefore are my loins
<04975>
filled
<04390> (8804)
with pain
<02479>_:
pangs
<06735>
have taken hold
<0270> (8804)
upon me, as the pangs
<06735>
of a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:
I was bowed down
<05753> (8738)
at the hearing
<08085> (8800)
[of it]; I was dismayed
<0926> (8738)
at the seeing
<07200> (8800)
[of it].
My heart
<03824>
panted
<08582> (8804)_,
fearfulness
<06427>
affrighted
<01204> (8765)
me: the night
<05399>
of my pleasure
<02837>
hath he turned
<07760> (8804)
into fear
<02731>
unto me. {heart...: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
Prepare
<06186> (8800)
the table
<07979>_,
watch
<06822> (8800)
in the watchtower
<06844>_,
eat
<0398> (8800)_,
drink
<08354> (8800)_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
ye princes
<08269>_,
[and] anoint
<04886> (8798)
the shield
<04043>_.
For thus hath the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
set
<05975> (8685)
a watchman
<06822> (8764)_,
let him declare
<05046> (8686)
what he seeth
<07200> (8799)_.
And he saw
<07200> (8804)
a chariot
<07393>
[with] a couple
<06776>
of horsemen
<06571>_,
a chariot
<07393>
of asses
<02543>_,
[and] a chariot
<07393>
of camels
<01581>_;
and he hearkened
<07181> (8689)
diligently
<07182>
with much
<07227>
heed
<07182>_:
And he cried
<07121> (8799)_,
A lion
<0738>_:
My lord
<0136>_,
I stand
<05975> (8802)
continually
<08548>
upon the watchtower
<04707>
in the daytime
<03119>_,
and I am set
<05324> (8737)
in my ward
<04931>
whole nights
<03915>_:
{he...: or, cried as a lion} {whole...: or, every night}
And, behold, here cometh
<0935> (8802)
a chariot
<07393>
of men
<0376>_,
[with] a couple
<06776>
of horsemen
<06571>_.
And he answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Babylon
<0894>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;
and all the graven images
<06456>
of her gods
<0430>
he hath broken
<07665> (8765)
unto the ground
<0776>_.
O my threshing
<04098>_,
and the corn
<01121>
of my floor
<01637>_:
that which I have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
have I declared
<05046> (8689)
unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burden
<04853>
of Dumah
<01746>_.
He calleth
<07121> (8802)
to me out of Seir
<08165>_,
Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,
what of the night
<03915>_?
Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,
what of the night
<03915>_?
The watchman
<08104> (8802)
said
<0559> (8804)_,
The morning
<01242>
cometh
<0857> (8804)_,
and also the night
<03915>_:
if ye will enquire
<01158> (8799)_,
enquire
<01158> (8798)
ye: return
<07725> (8798)_,
come
<0857> (8798)_.
The burden
<04853>
upon Arabia
<06152>_.
In the forest
<03293>
in Arabia
<06152>
shall ye lodge
<03885> (8799)_,
O ye travelling companies
<0736>
of Dedanim
<01720>_.
The inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
of Tema
<08485>
brought
<0857> (8689)
water
<04325>
to him
<07125> (8800)
that was thirsty
<06771>_,
they prevented
<06923> (8765)
with their bread
<03899>
him that fled
<05074> (8802)_.
{brought: or, bring ye}
For they fled
<05074> (8804)
from
<06440>
the swords
<02719>_,
from
<06440>
the drawn
<05203> (8803)
sword
<02719>_,
and from
<06440>
the bent
<01869> (8803)
bow
<07198>_,
and from
<06440>
the grievousness
<03514>
of war
<04421>_.
{from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}
For thus hath the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Within a year
<08141>_,
according to the years
<08141>
of an hireling
<07916>_,
and all the glory
<03519>
of Kedar
<06938>
shall fail
<03615> (8804)_:
And the residue
<07605>
of the number
<04557>
of archers
<07198>_,
the mighty men
<01368>
of the children
<01121>
of Kedar
<06938>_,
shall be diminished
<04591> (8799)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it]. {archers: Heb. bows}
The burden
<04853>
of the valley
<01516>
of vision
<02384>_.
What aileth thee now
<0645>_,
that thou art wholly gone up
<05927> (8804)
to the housetops
<01406>_?
Thou that art full
<04392>
of stirs
<08663>_,
a tumultuous
<01993> (8802)
city
<05892>_,
a joyous
<05947>
city
<07151>_:
thy slain
<02491>
[men are] not slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>_,
nor dead
<04191> (8801)
in battle
<04421>_.
All thy rulers
<07101>
are fled
<05074> (8804)
together
<03162>_,
they are bound
<0631> (8795)
by the archers
<07198>_:
all that are found
<04672> (8737)
in thee are bound
<0631> (8795)
together
<03162>_,
[which] have fled
<01272> (8804)
from far
<07350>_.
{by...: Heb. of the bow}
Therefore said
<0559> (8804)
I, Look away
<08159> (8798)
from me; I will weep
<01065>
bitterly
<04843> (8762)_,
labour
<0213> (8686)
not to comfort
<05162> (8763)
me, because of the spoiling
<07701>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_.
{weep...: Heb. be bitter in weeping}
For [it is] a day
<03117>
of trouble
<04103>_,
and of treading down
<04001>_,
and of perplexity
<03998>
by the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
in the valley
<01516>
of vision
<02384>_,
breaking
<06979> (8772)
down the walls
<07023>_,
and of crying
<07771>
to the mountains
<02022>_.
And Elam
<05867>
bare
<05375> (8804)
the quiver
<0827>
with chariots
<07393>
of men
<0120>
[and] horsemen
<06571>_,
and Kir
<07024>
uncovered
<06168> (8765)
the shield
<04043>_.
{uncovered: Heb. made naked}
And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest
<04005>
valleys
<06010>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of chariots
<07393>_,
and the horsemen
<06571>
shall set
<07896> (8804)
themselves in array
<07896> (8800)
at the gate
<08179>_.
{thy...: Heb. the choice of thy valleys} {at: or, toward}
And he discovered
<01540> (8762)
the covering
<04539>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and thou didst look
<05027> (8686)
in that day
<03117>
to the armour
<05402>
of the house
<01004>
of the forest
<03293>_.
Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
also the breaches
<01233>
of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
that they are many
<07231> (8804)_:
and ye gathered together
<06908> (8762)
the waters
<04325>
of the lower
<08481>
pool
<01295>_.
And ye have numbered
<05608> (8804)
the houses
<01004>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the houses
<01004>
have ye broken down
<05422> (8799)
to fortify
<01219> (8763)
the wall
<02346>_.
Ye made
<06213> (8804)
also a ditch
<04724>
between the two walls
<02346>
for the water
<04325>
of the old
<03465>
pool
<01295>_:
but ye have not looked
<05027> (8689)
unto the maker
<06213> (8802)
thereof, neither had respect
<07200> (8804)
unto him that fashioned
<03335> (8802)
it long ago
<07350>_.
And in that day
<03117>
did the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
call
<07121> (8799)
to weeping
<01065>_,
and to mourning
<04553>_,
and to baldness
<07144>_,
and to girding
<02296> (8800)
with sackcloth
<08242>_:
And behold joy
<08342>
and gladness
<08057>_,
slaying
<02026> (8800)
oxen
<01241>_,
and killing
<07819> (8800)
sheep
<06629>_,
eating
<0398> (8800)
flesh
<01320>_,
and drinking
<08354> (8800)
wine
<03196>_:
let us eat
<0398> (8800)
and drink
<08354> (8800)_;
for to morrow
<04279>
we shall die
<04191> (8799)_.
And it was revealed
<01540> (8738)
in mine ears
<0241>
by the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Surely this iniquity
<05771>
shall not be purged
<03722> (8792)
from you till ye die
<04191> (8799)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
get
<0935> (8798)
thee unto this treasurer
<05532> (8802)_,
[even] unto Shebna
<07644>_,
which [is] over the house
<01004>_,
[and say],
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out
<02672> (8804)
a sepulchre
<06913>
here
<06311>_,
[as] he that heweth him out
<02672> (8802)
a sepulchre
<06913>
on high
<04791>_,
[and] that graveth
<02710> (8802)
an habitation
<04908>
for himself in a rock
<05553>_?
{as...: or, O he}
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
will carry thee away
<02904> (8772)
with a mighty
<01397>
captivity
<02925>_,
and will surely
<05844> (8800)
cover
<05844> (8802)
thee. {will carry...: or, who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, (next verse) shall surely, etc} {a mighty...: Heb. the captivity of a man}
He will surely
<06801> (8800)
violently turn
<06801> (8799)
and toss
<06802>
thee [like] a ball
<01754>
into a large
<07342> <03027>
country
<0776>_:
there shalt thou die
<04191> (8799)_,
and there the chariots
<04818>
of thy glory
<03519>
[shall be] the shame
<07036>
of thy lord's
<0113>
house
<01004>_.
{large: Heb. large of spaces}
And I will drive
<01920> (8804)
thee from thy station
<04673>_,
and from thy state
<04612>
shall he pull thee down
<02040> (8799)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
that I will call
<07121> (8804)
my servant
<05650>
Eliakim
<0471>
the son
<01121>
of Hilkiah
<02518>_:
And I will clothe
<03847> (8689)
him with thy robe
<03801>_,
and strengthen
<02388> (8762)
him with thy girdle
<073>_,
and I will commit
<05414> (8799)
thy government
<04475>
into his hand
<03027>_:
and he shall be a father
<01>
to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_.
And the key
<04668>
of the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>
will I lay
<05414> (8804)
upon his shoulder
<07926>_;
so he shall open
<06605> (8804)_,
and none shall shut
<05462> (8802)_;
and he shall shut
<05462> (8804)_,
and none shall open
<06605> (8802)_.
And I will fasten
<08628> (8804)
him [as] a nail
<03489>
in a sure
<0539> (8737)
place
<04725>_;
and he shall be for a glorious
<03519>
throne
<03678>
to his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
And they shall hang
<08518> (8804)
upon him all the glory
<03519>
of his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
the offspring
<06631>
and the issue
<06849>_,
all vessels
<03627>
of small
<06996>
quantity, from the vessels
<03627>
of cups
<0101>_,
even to all the vessels
<03627>
of flagons
<05035>_.
{vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols}
In that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
shall the nail
<03489>
that is fastened
<08628> (8803)
in the sure
<0539> (8737)
place
<04725>
be removed
<04185> (8799)_,
and be cut down
<01438> (8738)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)_;
and the burden
<04853>
that [was] upon it shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
The burden
<04853>
of Tyre
<06865>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_;
for it is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
so that there is no house
<01004>_,
no entering in
<0935> (8800)_:
from the land
<0776>
of Chittim
<03794>
it is revealed
<01540> (8738)
to them.
Be still
<01826> (8798)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the isle
<0339>_;
thou whom the merchants
<05503> (8802)
of Zidon
<06721>_,
that pass over
<05674> (8802)
the sea
<03220>_,
have replenished
<04390> (8765)_.
{still: Heb. silent}
And by great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
the seed
<02233>
of Sihor
<07883>_,
the harvest
<07105>
of the river
<02975>_,
[is] her revenue
<08393>_;
and she is a mart
<05505>
of nations
<01471>_.
Be thou ashamed
<0954> (8798)_,
O Zidon
<06721>_:
for the sea
<03220>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_,
[even] the strength
<04581>
of the sea
<03220>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I travail
<02342> (8804)
not, nor bring forth children
<03205> (8804)_,
neither do I nourish up
<01431> (8765)
young men
<0970>_,
[nor] bring up
<07311> (8790)
virgins
<01330>_.
As at the report
<08088>
concerning Egypt
<04714>_,
[so] shall they be sorely pained
<02342> (8799)
at the report
<08088>
of Tyre
<06865>_.
Pass ye over
<05674> (8798)
to Tarshish
<08659>_;
howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the isle
<0339>_.
[Is] this your joyous
<05947>
[city], whose antiquity
<06927>
[is] of ancient
<06924>
days
<03117>_?
her own feet
<07272>
shall carry
<02986> (8686)
her afar off
<07350>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_.
{afar...: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counsel
<03289> (8804)
against Tyre
<06865>_,
the crowning
<05849> (8688)
[city], whose merchants
<05503> (8802)
[are] princes
<08269>_,
whose traffickers
<03667>
[are] the honourable
<03513> (8737)
of the earth
<0776>_?
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)
it, to stain
<02490> (8763)
the pride
<01347>
of all glory
<06643>_,
[and] to bring into contempt
<07043> (8687)
all the honourable
<03513> (8737)
of the earth
<0776>_.
{to stain: Heb. to pollute}
Pass
<05674> (8798)
through thy land
<0776>
as a river
<02975>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of Tarshish
<08659>_:
[there is] no more strength
<04206>_.
{strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched out
<05186> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
over the sea
<03220>_,
he shook
<07264> (8689)
the kingdoms
<04467>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath given a commandment
<06680> (8765)
against the merchant
<03667>
[city], to destroy
<08045> (8687)
the strong
<04581>
holds
<04581>
thereof. {against...: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong...: or, strengths}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
rejoice
<05937> (8800)_,
O thou oppressed
<06231> (8794)
virgin
<01330>_,
daughter
<01323>
of Zidon
<06721>_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
pass over
<05674> (8798)
to Chittim
<03794>_;
there also shalt thou have no rest
<05117> (8799)_.
Behold the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_;
this people
<05971>
was not, [till] the Assyrian
<0804>
founded
<03245> (8804)
it for them that dwell in the wilderness
<06728>_:
they set up
<06965> (8689)
the towers
<0971>
thereof, they raised up
<06209> (8782)
the palaces
<0759>
thereof; [and] he brought
<07760> (8804)
it to ruin
<04654>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_:
for your strength
<04581>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
that Tyre
<06865>
shall be forgotten
<07911> (8737)
seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
according to the days
<03117>
of one
<0259>
king
<04428>_:
after the end
<07093>
of seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>
shall Tyre
<06865>
sing
<07892>
as an harlot
<02181> (8802)_.
{shall Tyre...: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
Take
<03947> (8798)
an harp
<03658>_,
go about
<05437> (8798)
the city
<05892>_,
thou harlot
<02181> (8802)
that hast been forgotten
<07911> (8737)_;
make sweet
<03190> (8685)
melody
<05059> (8763)_,
sing many
<07235> (8685)
songs
<07892>_,
that thou mayest be remembered
<02142> (8735)_.
And it shall come to pass after the end
<07093>
of seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
will visit
<06485> (8799)
Tyre
<06865>_,
and she shall turn
<07725> (8804)
to her hire
<0868>_,
and shall commit fornication
<02181> (8804)
with all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the world
<0776>
upon the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_.
And her merchandise
<05504>
and her hire
<0868>
shall be holiness
<06944>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
it shall not be treasured
<0686> (8735)
nor laid up
<02630> (8735)_;
for her merchandise
<05504>
shall be for them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
to eat
<0398> (8800)
sufficiently
<07654>_,
and for durable
<06266>
clothing
<04374>_.
{durable: Heb. old}
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
maketh the earth
<0776>
empty
<01238> (8802)_,
and maketh it waste
<01110> (8802)_,
and turneth
<05753> (8765)
it upside down
<06440>_,
and scattereth abroad
<06327> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof. {turneth...: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}
And it shall be, as with the people
<05971>_,
so with the priest
<03548>_;
as with the servant
<05650>_,
so with his master
<0113>_;
as with the maid
<08198>_,
so with her mistress
<01404>_;
as with the buyer
<07069> (8802)_,
so with the seller
<04376> (8802)_;
as with the lender
<03867> (8688)_,
so with the borrower
<03867> (8801)_;
as with the taker of usury
<05383> (8802)_,
so
<0834>
with the giver of usury
<05378> (8801)
to him. {priest: or, prince}
The land
<0776>
shall be utterly
<01238> (8736)
emptied
<01238> (8735)_,
and utterly
<0962> (8736)
spoiled
<0962> (8735)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
this word
<01697>_.
The earth
<0776>
mourneth
<056> (8804)
[and] fadeth away
<05034> (8804)_,
the world
<08398>
languisheth
<0535> (8797)
[and] fadeth away
<05034> (8804)_,
the haughty
<04791>
people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>
do languish
<0535> (8797)_.
{the haughty...: Heb. the height of the people}
The earth
<0776>
also is defiled
<02610> (8804)
under the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof; because they have transgressed
<05674> (8804)
the laws
<08451>_,
changed
<02498> (8804)
the ordinance
<02706>_,
broken
<06565> (8689)
the everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_.
Therefore hath the curse
<0423>
devoured
<0398> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_,
and they that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein are desolate
<0816> (8799)_:
therefore the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>
are burned
<02787> (8804)_,
and few
<04213>
men
<0582>
left
<07604> (8738)_.
The new wine
<08492>
mourneth
<056> (8804)_,
the vine
<01612>
languisheth
<0535> (8797)_,
all the merryhearted
<08056> <03820>
do sigh
<0584> (8738)_.
The mirth
<04885>
of tabrets
<08596>
ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_,
the noise
<07588>
of them that rejoice
<05947>
endeth
<02308> (8804)_,
the joy
<04885>
of the harp
<03658>
ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_.
They shall not drink
<08354> (8799)
wine
<03196>
with a song
<07892>_;
strong drink
<07941>
shall be bitter
<04843> (8799)
to them that drink
<08354> (8802)
it.
The city
<07151>
of confusion
<08414>
is broken down
<07665> (8738)_:
every house
<01004>
is shut up
<05462> (8795)_,
that no man may come in
<0935> (8800)_.
[There is] a crying
<06682>
for wine
<03196>
in the streets
<02351>_;
all joy
<08057>
is darkened
<06150> (8804)_,
the mirth
<04885>
of the land
<0776>
is gone
<01540> (8804)_.
In the city
<05892>
is left
<07604> (8738)
desolation
<08047>_,
and the gate
<08179>
is smitten
<03807> (8714)
with destruction
<07591>_.
When thus it shall be in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_,
[there shall be] as the shaking
<05363>
of an olive tree
<02132>_,
[and] as the gleaning grapes
<05955>
when the vintage
<01210>
is done
<03615> (8804)_.
They shall lift up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_,
they shall sing
<07442> (8799)
for the majesty
<01347>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
they shall cry aloud
<06670> (8804)
from the sea
<03220>_.
Wherefore glorify
<03513> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>
in the fires
<0217>_,
[even] the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
in the isles
<0339>
of the sea
<03220>_.
{fires: or, valleys}
From the uttermost part
<03671>
of the earth
<0776>
have we heard
<08085> (8804)
songs
<02158>_,
[even] glory
<06643>
to the righteous
<06662>_.
But I said
<0559> (8799)_,
My leanness
<07334>_,
my leanness
<07334>_,
woe
<0188>
unto me! the treacherous dealers
<0898> (8802)
have dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)_;
yea, the treacherous dealers
<0898> (8802)
have dealt very
<0899>
treacherously
<0898> (8804)_.
{uttermost...: Heb. wing} {My leanness: Heb. Leanness to me, or, My secret to me}
Fear
<06343>_,
and the pit
<06354>_,
and the snare
<06341>_,
[are] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth
<05127> (8801)
from the noise
<06963>
of the fear
<06343>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
into the pit
<06354>_;
and he that cometh up
<05927> (8802)
out of the midst
<08432>
of the pit
<06354>
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)
in the snare
<06341>_:
for the windows
<0699>
from on high
<04791>
are open
<06605> (8738)_,
and the foundations
<04146>
of the earth
<0776>
do shake
<07493> (8799)_.
The earth
<0776>
is utterly
<07489> (8800)
broken down
<07489> (8712)_,
the earth
<0776>
is clean
<06565> (8800)
dissolved
<06565> (8707)_,
the earth
<0776>
is moved
<04131> (8694)
exceedingly
<04131> (8800)_.
The earth
<0776>
shall reel
<05128> (8799)
to and fro
<05128> (8800)
like a drunkard
<07910>_,
and shall be removed
<05110> (8712)
like a cottage
<04412>_;
and the transgression
<06588>
thereof shall be heavy
<03513> (8804)
upon it; and it shall fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and not rise
<06965> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the LORD
<03068>
shall punish
<06485> (8799)
the host
<06635>
of the high ones
<04791>
[that are] on high
<04791>_,
and the kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0127>
upon the earth
<0127>_.
{punish: Heb. visit upon}
And they shall be gathered together
<0622> (8795)_,
[as] prisoners
<0616>
are gathered
<0626>
in the pit
<0953>_,
and shall be shut up
<05462> (8795)
in the prison
<04525>_,
and after many
<07230>
days
<03117>
shall they be visited
<06485> (8735)_.
{as prisoners...: Heb. with the gathering of prisoners} {pit: or, dungeon} {visited: or, found wanting}
Then the moon
<03842>
shall be confounded
<02659> (8804)_,
and the sun
<02535>
ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,
when the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall reign
<04427> (8804)
in mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_,
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and before his ancients
<02205>
gloriously
<03519>_.
{before...: or, there shall be glory before his ancients}
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou [art] my God
<0430>_;
I will exalt
<07311> (8787)
thee, I will praise
<03034> (8686)
thy name
<08034>_;
for thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
wonderful
<06382>
[things; thy] counsels
<06098>
of old
<07350>
[are] faithfulness
<0530>
[and] truth
<0544>_.
For thou hast made
<07760> (8804)
of a city
<05892>
an heap
<01530>_;
[of] a defenced
<01219> (8803)
city
<07151>
a ruin
<04654>_:
a palace
<0759>
of strangers
<02114> (8801)
to be no city
<05892>_;
it shall never
<05769>
be built
<01129> (8735)_.
Therefore shall the strong
<05794>
people
<05971>
glorify
<03513> (8762)
thee, the city
<07151>
of the terrible
<06184>
nations
<01471>
shall fear
<03372> (8799)
thee.
For thou hast been a strength
<04581>
to the poor
<01800>_,
a strength
<04581>
to the needy
<034>
in his distress
<06862>_,
a refuge
<04268>
from the storm
<02230>_,
a shadow
<06738>
from the heat
<02721>_,
when the blast
<07307>
of the terrible ones
<06184>
[is] as a storm
<02230>
[against] the wall
<07023>_.
Thou shalt bring down
<03665> (8686)
the noise
<07588>
of strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
as the heat
<02721>
in a dry place
<06724>_;
[even] the heat
<02721>
with the shadow
<06738>
of a cloud
<05645>_:
the branch
<02159>
of the terrible ones
<06184>
shall be brought low
<06030> (8799)_.
And in this mountain
<02022>
shall the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
make
<06213> (8804)
unto all people
<05971>
a feast
<04960>
of fat things
<08081>_,
a feast
<04960>
of wines on the lees
<08105>_,
of fat things
<08081>
full of marrow
<04229> (8794)_,
of wines on the lees
<08105>
well refined
<02212> (8794)_.
And he will destroy
<01104> (8765)
in this mountain
<02022>
the face
<06440>
of the covering
<03875>
cast over
<03874> (8802)
all people
<05971>_,
and the vail
<04541>
that is spread
<05259> (8803)
over all nations
<01471>_.
{destroy: Heb. swallow up} {cast: Heb. covered}
He will swallow up
<01104> (8765)
death
<04194>
in victory
<05331>_;
and the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will wipe away
<04229> (8804)
tears
<01832>
from off all faces
<06440>_;
and the rebuke
<02781>
of his people
<05971>
shall he take away
<05493> (8686)
from off all the earth
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
And it shall be said
<0559> (8804)
in that day
<03117>_,
Lo, this [is] our God
<0430>_;
we have waited
<06960> (8765)
for him, and he will save
<03467> (8686)
us: this [is] the LORD
<03068>_;
we have waited
<06960> (8765)
for him, we will be glad
<01523> (8799)
and rejoice
<08055> (8799)
in his salvation
<03444>_.
For in this mountain
<02022>
shall the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
rest
<05117> (8799)_,
and Moab
<04124>
shall be trodden down
<01758> (8736)
under him, even as straw
<04963>
is trodden down
<01758> (8738)
for the dunghill
<01119> <04087> (8675) <04325>_.
{trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for...: or, threshed in Madmenah}
And he shall spread forth
<06566> (8765)
his hands
<03027>
in the midst
<07130>
of them, as he that swimmeth
<07811> (8802)
spreadeth forth
<06566> (8762)
[his hands] to swim
<07811> (8800)_:
and he shall bring down
<08213> (8689)
their pride
<01346>
together with the spoils
<0698>
of their hands
<03027>_.
And the fortress
<04013>
of the high fort
<04869>
of thy walls
<02346>
shall he bring down
<07817> (8689)_,
lay low
<08213> (8689)_,
[and] bring
<05060> (8689)
to the ground
<0776>_,
[even] to the dust
<06083>_.
In that day
<03117>
shall this song
<07892>
be sung
<07891> (8714)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_;
We have a strong
<05797>
city
<05892>_;
salvation
<03444>
will [God] appoint
<07896> (8799)
[for] walls
<02346>
and bulwarks
<02426>_.
Open
<06605> (8798)
ye the gates
<08179>_,
that the righteous
<06662>
nation
<01471>
which keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the truth
<0529>
may enter in
<0935> (8799)_.
{truth: Heb. truths}
Thou wilt keep
<05341> (8799)
[him] in perfect
<07965>
peace
<07965>_,
[whose] mind
<03336>
[is] stayed
<05564> (8803)
[on thee]: because he trusteth
<0982> (8803)
in thee. {perfect...: Heb. peace, peace} {mind: or, thought, or, imagination}
Trust
<0982> (8798)
ye in the LORD
<03068>
for ever
<05703>_:
for in the LORD
<03050>
JEHOVAH
<03068>
[is] everlasting
<05769>
strength
<06697>_:
{everlasting...: Heb. the rock of ages}
For he bringeth down
<07817> (8689)
them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
on high
<04791>_;
the lofty
<07682> (8737)
city
<07151>_,
he layeth it low
<08213> (8686)_;
he layeth it low
<08213> (8686)_,
[even] to the ground
<0776>_;
he bringeth
<05060> (8686)
it [even] to the dust
<06083>_.
The foot
<07272>
shall tread it down
<07429> (8799)_,
[even] the feet
<07272>
of the poor
<06041>_,
[and] the steps
<06471>
of the needy
<01800>_.
The way
<0734>
of the just
<06662>
[is] uprightness
<04339>_:
thou, most upright
<03477>_,
dost weigh
<06424> (8762)
the path
<04570>
of the just
<06662>_.
Yea, in the way
<0734>
of thy judgments
<04941>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
have we waited
<06960> (8765)
for thee; the desire
<08378>
of [our] soul
<05315>
[is] to thy name
<08034>_,
and to the remembrance
<02143>
of thee.
With my soul
<05315>
have I desired
<0183> (8765)
thee in the night
<03915>_;
yea, with my spirit
<07307>
within
<07130>
me will I seek thee early
<07836> (8762)_:
for when thy judgments
<04941>
[are] in the earth
<0776>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>
will learn
<03925> (8804)
righteousness
<06664>_.
Let favour be shewed
<02603> (8717)
to the wicked
<07563>_,
[yet] will he not
<01077>
learn
<03925> (8804)
righteousness
<06664>_:
in the land
<0776>
of uprightness
<05229>
will he deal unjustly
<05765> (8762)_,
and will not
<01077>
behold
<07200> (8799)
the majesty
<01348>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
LORD
<03068>_,
[when] thy hand
<03027>
is lifted up
<07311> (8804)_,
they will not see
<02372> (8799)_:
[but] they shall see
<02372> (8799)_,
and be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
for [their] envy
<07068>
at the people
<05971>_;
yea, the fire
<0784>
of thine enemies
<06862>
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
them. {at...: or, toward thy people}
LORD
<03068>_,
thou wilt ordain
<08239> (8799)
peace
<07965>
for us: for thou also hast wrought
<06466> (8804)
all our works
<04639>
in us. {in us: or, for us}
O LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
[other] lords
<0113>
beside
<02108>
thee have had dominion
<01166> (8804)
over us: [but] by thee only will we make mention
<02142> (8686)
of thy name
<08034>_.
[They are] dead
<04191> (8801)_,
they shall not live
<02421> (8799)_;
[they are] deceased
<07496>_,
they shall not rise
<06965> (8799)_:
therefore hast thou visited
<06485> (8804)
and destroyed
<08045> (8686)
them, and made all their memory
<02143>
to perish
<06> (8762)_.
Thou hast increased
<03254> (8804)
the nation
<01471>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast increased
<03254> (8804)
the nation
<01471>_:
thou art glorified
<03513> (8738)_:
thou hadst removed [it] far
<07368> (8765)
[unto] all the ends
<07099>
of the earth
<0776>_.
LORD
<03068>_,
in trouble
<06862>
have they visited
<06485> (8804)
thee, they poured out
<06694> (8804)
a prayer
<03908>
[when] thy chastening
<04148>
[was] upon them. {prayer: Heb. secret speech}
Like
<03644>
as a woman with child
<02030>_,
[that] draweth near
<07126> (8686)
the time of her delivery
<03205> (8800)_,
is in pain
<02342> (8799)_,
[and] crieth out
<02199> (8799)
in her pangs
<02256>_;
so have we been in thy sight
<06440>_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
We have been with child
<02029> (8804)_,
we have been in pain
<02342> (8804)_,
we have as it were
<03644>
brought forth
<03205> (8804)
wind
<07307>_;
we have not wrought
<06213> (8799)
any deliverance
<03444>
in the earth
<0776>_;
neither
<01077>
have the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>
fallen
<05307> (8799)_.
Thy dead
<04191> (8801)
[men] shall live
<02421> (8799)_,
[together with] my dead body
<05038>
shall they arise
<06965> (8799)_.
Awake
<06974> (8685)
and sing
<07442> (8761)_,
ye that dwell
<07931> (8802)
in dust
<06083>_:
for thy dew
<02919>
[is as] the dew
<02919>
of herbs
<0219>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall cast out
<05307> (8686)
the dead
<07496>_.
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
my people
<05971>_,
enter
<0935> (8798)
thou into thy chambers
<02315>_,
and shut
<05462> (8798)
thy doors
<01817>
about thee: hide
<02247> (8798)
thyself as it were for a little
<04592>
moment
<07281>_,
until the indignation
<02195>
be overpast
<05674> (8799)_.
For, behold, the LORD
<03068>
cometh out
<03318> (8802)
of his place
<04725>
to punish
<06485> (8800)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>
for their iniquity
<05771>_:
the earth
<0776>
also shall disclose
<01540> (8765)
her blood
<01818>_,
and shall no more cover
<03680> (8762)
her slain
<02026> (8803)_.
{blood: Heb. bloods}
In that day
<03117>
the LORD
<03068>
with his sore
<07186>
and great
<01419>
and strong
<02389>
sword
<02719>
shall punish
<06485> (8799)
leviathan
<03882>
the piercing
<01281>
serpent
<05175>_,
even leviathan
<03882>
that crooked
<06129>
serpent
<05175>_;
and he shall slay
<02026> (8804)
the dragon
<08577>
that [is] in the sea
<03220>_.
{piercing: or, crossing like a bar}
In that day
<03117>
sing
<06031> (8761)
ye unto her, A vineyard
<03754>
of red wine
<02561> (8676) <02531>_.
I the LORD
<03068>
do keep
<05341> (8802)
it; I will water
<08248> (8686)
it every moment
<07281>_:
lest [any] hurt
<06485> (8799)
it, I will keep
<05341> (8799)
it night
<03915>
and day
<03117>_.
Fury
<02534>
[is] not in me: who would set
<05414> (8799)
the briers
<08068>
[and] thorns
<07898>
against me in battle
<04421>_?
I would go
<06585> (8799)
through them, I would burn
<06702> (8686)
them together
<03162>_.
{go...: or, march against}
Or let him take hold
<02388> (8686)
of my strength
<04581>_,
[that] he may make
<06213> (8799)
peace
<07965>
with me; [and] he shall make
<06213> (8799)
peace
<07965>
with me.
He shall cause them that come
<0935> (8802)
of Jacob
<03290>
to take root
<08327> (8686)_:
Israel
<03478>
shall blossom
<06692> (8686)
and bud
<06524> (8804)_,
and fill
<04390> (8804)
the face
<06440>
of the world
<08398>
with fruit
<08570>_.
Hath he smitten
<05221> (8689)
him, as he smote
<04347>
those that smote
<05221> (8688)
him? [or] is he slain
<02026> (8795)
according to the slaughter
<02027>
of them that are slain
<02026> (8803)
by him? {as...: Heb. according to the stroke of}
In measure
<05432>_,
when it shooteth forth
<07971> (8763)_,
thou wilt debate
<07378> (8799)
with it: he stayeth
<01898> (8804)
his rough
<07186>
wind
<07307>
in the day
<03117>
of the east wind
<06921>_.
{it shooteth...: or, thou sendest it forth} {he...: or, when he removeth it with}
By this
<02063>
therefore shall the iniquity
<05771>
of Jacob
<03290>
be purged
<03722> (8792)_;
and this [is] all the fruit
<06529>
to take away
<05493> (8687)
his sin
<02403>_;
when he maketh
<07760> (8800)
all the stones
<068>
of the altar
<04196>
as chalkstones
<01615>
that are beaten in sunder
<05310> (8794)_,
the groves
<0842>
and images
<02553>
shall not stand up
<06965> (8799)_.
{images: or, sun images}
Yet the defenced
<01219> (8803)
city
<05892>
[shall be] desolate
<0910>_,
[and] the habitation
<05116>
forsaken
<07971> (8794)_,
and left
<05800> (8737)
like a wilderness
<04057>_:
there shall the calf
<05695>
feed
<07462> (8799)_,
and there shall he lie down
<07257> (8799)_,
and consume
<03615> (8765)
the branches
<05585>
thereof.
When the boughs
<07105>
thereof are withered
<03001> (8800)_,
they shall be broken off
<07665> (8735)_:
the women
<0802>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
[and] set them on fire
<0215> (8688)_:
for it [is] a people
<05971>
of no understanding
<0998>_:
therefore he that made
<06213> (8802)
them will not have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on them, and he that formed
<03335> (8802)
them will shew them no favour
<02603> (8799)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the LORD
<03068>
shall beat off
<02251> (8799)
from the channel
<07641>
of the river
<05104>
unto the stream
<05158>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and ye shall be gathered
<03950> (8792)
one
<0259>
by one
<0259>_,
O ye children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the great
<01419>
trumpet
<07782>
shall be blown
<08628> (8735)_,
and they shall come
<0935> (8804)
which were ready to perish
<06> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and the outcasts
<05080> (8737)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and shall worship
<07812> (8694)
the LORD
<03068>
in the holy
<06944>
mount
<02022>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Woe
<01945>
to the crown
<05850>
of pride
<01348>_,
to the drunkards
<07910>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
whose glorious
<06643>
beauty
<08597>
[is] a fading
<05034> (8802)
flower
<06731>_,
which [are] on the head
<07218>
of the fat
<08081>
valleys
<01516>
of them that are overcome
<01986> (8803)
with wine
<03196>_!
{overcome: Heb. broken}
Behold, the Lord
<0136>
hath a mighty
<02389>
and strong one
<0533>_,
[which] as a tempest
<02230>
of hail
<01259>
[and] a destroying
<06986>
storm
<08178>_,
as a flood
<02230>
of mighty
<03524>
waters
<04325>
overflowing
<07857> (8802)_,
shall cast down
<03240> (8689)
to the earth
<0776>
with the hand
<03027>_.
The crown
<05850>
of pride
<01348>_,
the drunkards
<07910>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
shall be trodden
<07429> (8735)
under feet
<07272>_:
{under...: Heb. with feet}
And the glorious
<06643>
beauty
<08597>_,
which [is] on the head
<07218>
of the fat
<08081>
valley
<01516>_,
shall be a fading
<05034> (8802)
flower
<06733>_,
[and] as the hasty fruit
<01061>
before the summer
<07019>_;
which [when] he that looketh
<07200> (8802)
upon it seeth
<07200> (8799)_,
while it is yet in his hand
<03709>
he eateth it up
<01104> (8799)_.
{eateth: Heb. swalloweth}
In that day
<03117>
shall the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
be for a crown
<05850>
of glory
<06643>_,
and for a diadem
<06843>
of beauty
<08597>_,
unto the residue
<07605>
of his people
<05971>_,
And for a spirit
<07307>
of judgment
<04941>
to him that sitteth
<03427> (8802)
in judgment
<04941>_,
and for strength
<01369>
to them that turn
<07725> (8688)
the battle
<04421>
to the gate
<08179>_.
But they
<0428>
also have erred
<07686> (8804)
through wine
<03196>_,
and through strong drink
<07941>
are out of the way
<08582> (8804)_;
the priest
<03548>
and the prophet
<05030>
have erred
<07686> (8804)
through strong drink
<07941>_,
they are swallowed up
<01104> (8738)
of
<04480>
wine
<03196>_,
they are out of the way
<08582> (8804)
through strong drink
<07941>_;
they err
<07686> (8804)
in vision
<07203>_,
they stumble
<06328> (8804)
[in] judgment
<06417>_.
For all tables
<07979>
are full
<04390> (8804)
of vomit
<06892>
[and] filthiness
<06675>_,
[so that there is] no place
<04725>
[clean].
Whom shall he teach
<03384> (8686)
knowledge
<01844>_?
and whom shall he make to understand
<0995> (8799)
doctrine
<08052>_?
[them that are] weaned
<01580> (8803)
from the milk
<02461>_,
[and] drawn
<06267>
from the breasts
<07699>_.
{doctrine: Heb. the hearing?}
For precept
<06673>
[must be] upon precept
<06673>_,
precept
<06673>
upon precept
<06673>_;
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_,
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_;
here a little
<02191>_,
[and] there a little
<02191>_:
{must be: or, hath been}
For with stammering
<03934>
lips
<08193>
and another
<0312>
tongue
<03956>
will he speak
<01696> (8762)
to this people
<05971>_.
{stammering...: Heb. stammerings of lip} {will...: or, he hath spoken}
To whom he said
<0559> (8804)_,
This [is] the rest
<04496>
[wherewith] ye may cause the weary
<05889>
to rest
<05117> (8685)_;
and this [is] the refreshing
<04774>_:
yet they would
<014> (8804)
not hear
<08085> (8800)_.
But the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
was unto them precept
<06673>
upon precept
<06673>_,
precept
<06673>
upon precept
<06673>_;
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_,
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_;
here a little
<02191>_,
[and] there a little
<02191>_;
that they might go
<03212> (8799)_,
and fall
<03782> (8804)
backward
<0268>_,
and be broken
<07665> (8738)_,
and snared
<03369> (8738)_,
and taken
<03920> (8738)_.
Wherefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye scornful
<03944>
men
<0582>_,
that rule
<04910> (8802)
this people
<05971>
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Because ye have said
<0559> (8804)_,
We have made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with death
<04194>_,
and with hell
<07585>
are we
<06213> (8804)
at agreement
<02374>_;
when the overflowing
<07857> (8802)
scourge
<07752> (8675) <07885>
shall pass through
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05674> (8804)_,
it shall not come
<0935> (8799)
unto us: for we have made
<07760> (8804)
lies
<03577>
our refuge
<04268>_,
and under falsehood
<08267>
have we hid
<05641> (8738)
ourselves:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Behold, I lay
<03245> (8765)
in Zion
<06726>
for a foundation a stone
<068>_,
a tried
<0976>
stone
<068>_,
a precious
<03368>
corner
<06438>
[stone], a sure
<03245> (8716)
foundation
<04143>_:
he that believeth
<0539> (8688)
shall not make haste
<02363> (8686)_.
Judgment
<04941>
also will I lay
<07760> (8804)
to the line
<06957>_,
and righteousness
<06666>
to the plummet
<04949>_:
and the hail
<01259>
shall sweep away
<03261> (8804)
the refuge
<04268>
of lies
<03577>_,
and the waters
<04325>
shall overflow
<07857> (8799)
the hiding place
<05643>_.
And your covenant
<01285>
with death
<04194>
shall be disannulled
<03722> (8795)_,
and your agreement
<02380>
with hell
<07585>
shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_;
when the overflowing
<07857> (8802)
scourge
<07752>
shall pass through
<05674> (8799)_,
then ye shall be trodden down
<04823>
by it. {trodden...: Heb. a treading down to it}
From the time
<01767>
that it goeth forth
<05674> (8800)
it shall take
<03947> (8799)
you: for morning
<01242>
by morning
<01242>
shall it pass over
<05674> (8799)_,
by day
<03117>
and by night
<03915>_:
and it shall be a vexation
<02113>
only [to] understand
<0995> (8687)
the report
<08052>_.
{to...: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
For the bed
<04702>
is shorter
<07114> (8804)
than that [a man] can stretch
<08311> (8692)
himself [on it]: and the covering
<04541>
narrower
<06887> (8804)
than that he can wrap
<03664> (8692)
himself [in it].
For the LORD
<03068>
shall rise up
<06965> (8799)
as [in] mount
<02022>
Perazim
<06559>_,
he shall be wroth
<07264> (8799)
as [in] the valley
<06010>
of Gibeon
<01391>_,
that he may do
<06213> (8800)
his work
<04639>_,
his strange
<02114> (8801)
work
<04639>_;
and bring to pass
<05647> (8800)
his act
<05656>_,
his strange
<05237>
act
<05656>_.
Now therefore be ye not mockers
<03887> (8698)_,
lest your bands
<04147>
be made strong
<02388> (8799)_:
for I have heard
<08085> (8804)
from the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
a consumption
<03617>_,
even determined
<02782> (8737)
upon the whole earth
<0776>_.
Give ye ear
<0238> (8685)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_;
hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
my speech
<0565>_.
Doth the plowman
<02790> (8802)
plow
<02790> (8799)
all day
<03117>
to sow
<02232> (8800)_?
doth he open
<06605> (8762)
and break the clods
<07702> (8762)
of his ground
<0127>_?
When he hath made plain
<07737> (8765)
the face
<06440>
thereof, doth he not cast abroad
<06327> (8689)
the fitches
<07100>_,
and scatter
<02236> (8799)
the cummin
<03646>_,
and cast
<07760> (8804)
in the principal
<07795>
wheat
<02406>
and the appointed
<05567> (8737)
barley
<08184>
and the rie
<03698>
in their place
<01367>_?
{the principal...: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}
For his God
<0430>
doth instruct
<03256> (8765)
him to discretion
<04941>_,
[and] doth teach
<03384> (8686)
him. {For...: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}
For the fitches
<07100>
are not threshed
<01758> (8714)
with a threshing instrument
<02742>_,
neither is a cart
<05699>
wheel
<0212>
turned about
<05437> (8714)
upon the cummin
<03646>_;
but the fitches
<07100>
are beaten out
<02251> (8735)
with a staff
<04294>_,
and the cummin
<03646>
with a rod
<07626>_.
Bread
<03899>
[corn] is bruised
<01854> (8714)_;
because he will not ever
<05331>
be threshing
<0156> (8800) <01758> (8799)
it, nor break
<02000> (8804)
[it with] the wheel
<01536>
of his cart
<05699>_,
nor bruise
<01854> (8799)
it [with] his horsemen
<06571>_.
This also cometh forth
<03318> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
[which] is wonderful
<06381> (8689)
in counsel
<06098>_,
[and] excellent
<01431> (8689)
in working
<08454>_.
Woe
<01945>
to Ariel
<0740>_,
to Ariel
<0740>_,
the city
<07151>
[where] David
<01732>
dwelt
<02583> (8804)_!
add
<05595> (8798)
ye year
<08141>
to year
<08141>_;
let them kill
<05362> (8799)
sacrifices
<02282>_.
{Woe...: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of God} {the city: or, of the city} {kill: Heb. cut off the heads of}
Yet I will distress
<06693> (8689)
Ariel
<0740>_,
and there shall be heaviness
<08386>
and sorrow
<0592>_:
and it shall be unto me as Ariel
<0740>_.
And I will camp
<02583> (8804)
against thee round about
<01754>_,
and will lay siege
<06696> (8804)
against thee with a mount
<04674>_,
and I will raise
<06965> (8689)
forts
<04694>
against thee.
And thou shalt be brought down
<08213> (8804)_,
[and] shalt speak
<01696> (8762)
out of the ground
<0776>_,
and thy speech
<0565>
shall be low
<07817> (8735)
out of the dust
<06083>_,
and thy voice
<06963>
shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit
<0178>_,
out of the ground
<0776>_,
and thy speech
<0565>
shall whisper
<06850> (8770)
out of the dust
<06083>_.
{whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp}
Moreover the multitude
<01995>
of thy strangers
<02114> (8801)
shall be like small
<01851>
dust
<080>_,
and the multitude
<01995>
of the terrible ones
<06184>
[shall be] as chaff
<04671>
that passeth away
<05674> (8802)_:
yea, it shall be at an instant
<06621>
suddenly
<06597>_.
Thou shalt be visited
<06485> (8735)
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
with thunder
<07482>_,
and with earthquake
<07494>_,
and great
<01419>
noise
<06963>_,
with storm
<05492>
and tempest
<05591>_,
and the flame
<03851>
of devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_.
And the multitude
<01995>
of all the nations
<01471>
that fight
<06633> (8802)
against Ariel
<0740>_,
even all that fight
<06638> (8802)
against her and her munition
<04685>_,
and that distress
<06693> (8688)
her, shall be as a dream
<02472>
of a night
<03915>
vision
<02377>_.
It shall even be as when an hungry
<07457>
[man] dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,
and, behold, he eateth
<0398> (8802)_;
but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,
and his soul
<05315>
is empty
<07386>_:
or as when
<0834>
a thirsty man
<06771>
dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,
and, behold, he drinketh
<08354> (8802)_;
but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,
and, behold, [he is] faint
<05889>_,
and his soul
<05315>
hath appetite
<08264> (8802)_:
so shall the multitude
<01995>
of all the nations
<01471>
be, that fight
<06633> (8802)
against mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
Stay
<04102> (8697)
yourselves, and wonder
<08539> (8798)_;
cry ye out
<08173> (8697)_,
and cry
<08173> (8798)_:
they are drunken
<07937> (8804)_,
but not with wine
<03196>_;
they stagger
<05128> (8804)_,
but not with strong drink
<07941>_.
{cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot}
For the LORD
<03068>
hath poured out
<05258> (8804)
upon you the spirit
<07307>
of deep sleep
<08639>_,
and hath closed
<06105> (8762)
your eyes
<05869>_:
the prophets
<05030>
and your rulers
<07218>_,
the seers
<02374>
hath he covered
<03680> (8765)_.
{rulers: Heb. heads}
And the vision
<02380>
of all is become unto you as the words
<01697>
of a book
<05612>
that is sealed
<02856> (8803)_,
which [men] deliver
<05414> (8799)
to one that is learned
<03045> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Read
<07121> (8798)
this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,
I cannot
<03201> (8799)_;
for it [is] sealed
<02856> (8803)_:
{book: or, letter}
And the book
<05612>
is delivered
<05414> (8738)
to him that is not learned
<03045> (8804) <05612>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Read
<07121> (8798)
this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,
I am not learned
<03045> (8804)_.
Wherefore the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Forasmuch
<03282>
as this people
<05971>
draw near
<05066> (8738)
[me] with their mouth
<06310>_,
and with their lips
<08193>
do honour
<03513> (8765)
me, but have removed
<07368> (0)
their heart
<03820>
far
<07368> (8765)
from me, and their fear
<03374>
toward me is taught
<03925> (8794)
by the precept
<04687>
of men
<0582>_:
Therefore, behold, I will proceed
<03254> (8802)
to do a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)
among this people
<05971>_,
[even] a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)
and a wonder
<06382>_:
for the wisdom
<02451>
of their wise
<02450>
[men] shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
and the understanding
<0998>
of their prudent
<0995> (8737)
[men] shall be hid
<05641> (8691)_.
{proceed: Heb. add}
Woe
<01945>
unto them that seek deep
<06009> (8688)
to hide
<05641> (8687)
their counsel
<06098>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and their works
<04639>
are in the dark
<04285>_,
and they say
<0559> (8799)_,
Who seeth
<07200> (8802)
us? and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
us?
Surely your turning of things upside down
<02017> (8800)
shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)
as the potter's
<03335> (8802)
clay
<02563>_:
for shall the work
<04639>
say
<0559> (8799)
of him that made
<06213> (8802)
it, He made
<06213> (8804)
me not? or shall the thing framed
<03336>
say
<0559> (8804)
of him that framed
<03335> (8802)
it, He had no understanding
<0995> (8689)_?
[Is] it not yet a very
<04213>
little while
<04592>_,
and Lebanon
<03844>
shall be turned
<07725> (8804)
into a fruitful field
<03759>_,
and the fruitful field
<03759>
shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)
as a forest
<03293>_?
And in that day
<03117>
shall the deaf
<02795>
hear
<08085> (8804)
the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>_,
and the eyes
<05869>
of the blind
<05787>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
out of obscurity
<0652>_,
and out of darkness
<02822>_.
The meek
<06035>
also shall increase
<03254> (8804)
[their] joy
<08057>
in the LORD
<03068>_,
and the poor
<034>
among men
<0120>
shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)
in the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{increase: Heb. add}
For the terrible one
<06184>
is brought to nought
<0656> (8804)_,
and the scorner
<03887> (8801)
is consumed
<03615> (8804)_,
and all that watch
<08245> (8802)
for iniquity
<0205>
are cut off
<03772> (8738)_:
That make a man
<0120>
an offender
<02398> (8688)
for a word
<01697>_,
and lay a snare
<06983> (8799)
for him that reproveth
<03198> (8688)
in the gate
<08179>_,
and turn aside
<05186> (8686)
the just
<06662>
for a thing of nought
<08414>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
who redeemed
<06299> (8804)
Abraham
<085>_,
concerning the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
Jacob
<03290>
shall not now be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,
neither shall his face
<06440>
now wax pale
<02357> (8799)_.
But when he seeth
<07200> (8800)
his children
<03206>_,
the work
<04639>
of mine hands
<03027>_,
in the midst
<07130>
of him, they shall sanctify
<06942> (8686)
my name
<08034>_,
and sanctify
<06942> (8689)
the Holy One
<06918>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and shall fear
<06206> (8686)
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
They also that erred
<08582> (8802)
in spirit
<07307>
shall come
<03045> (8804)
to understanding
<0998>_,
and they that murmured
<07279> (8803)
shall learn
<03925> (8799)
doctrine
<03948>_.
{come...: Heb. know understanding}
Woe
<01945>
to the rebellious
<05637> (8802)
children
<01121>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that take
<06213> (8800)
counsel
<06098>_,
but not of me; and that cover
<05258> (8800)
with a covering
<04541>_,
but not of my spirit
<07307>_,
that they may add
<05595> (8800)
sin
<02403>
to sin
<02403>_:
That walk
<01980> (8802)
to go down
<03381> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and have not asked
<07592> (8804)
at my mouth
<06310>_;
to strengthen
<05810> (8800)
themselves in the strength
<04581>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and to trust
<02620> (8800)
in the shadow
<06738>
of Egypt
<04714>_!
Therefore shall the strength
<04581>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
be your shame
<01322>_,
and the trust
<02622>
in the shadow
<06738>
of Egypt
<04714>
[your] confusion
<03639>_.
For his princes
<08269>
were at Zoan
<06814>_,
and his ambassadors
<04397>
came
<05060> (8686)
to Hanes
<02609>_.
They were all ashamed
<03001> (8689)
of a people
<05971>
[that] could not profit
<03276> (8686)
them, nor be an help
<05828>
nor profit
<03276> (8687)_,
but a shame
<01322>_,
and also a reproach
<02781>_.
The burden
<04853>
of the beasts
<0929>
of the south
<05045>_:
into the land
<0776>
of trouble
<06869>
and anguish
<06695>_,
from whence [come] the young
<03833>
and old lion
<03918>_,
the viper
<0660>
and fiery
<08314> (0)
flying
<05774> (8789)
serpent
<08314>_,
they will carry
<05375> (8799)
their riches
<02428>
upon the shoulders
<03802>
of young asses
<05895>_,
and their treasures
<0214>
upon the bunches
<01707>
of camels
<01581>_,
to a people
<05971>
[that] shall not profit
<03276> (8686)
[them].
For the Egyptians
<04714>
shall help
<05826> (8799)
in vain
<01892>_,
and to no purpose
<07385>_:
therefore have I cried
<07121> (8804)
concerning this
<02063>_,
Their
<01992>
strength
<07293>
[is] to sit still
<07674>_.
{concerning...: or, to her}
Now go
<0935> (8798)_,
write
<03789> (8798)
it before them in a table
<03871>_,
and note
<02710> (8798)
it in a book
<05612>_,
that it may be for the time
<03117>
to come
<0314>
for
<05704>
ever
<05703>
and ever
<05769>_:
{the...: Heb. the latter day}
That this [is] a rebellious
<04805>
people
<05971>_,
lying
<03586>
children
<01121>_,
children
<01121>
[that] will
<014> (8804)
not hear
<08085> (8800)
the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Which say
<0559> (8804)
to the seers
<07200> (8802)_,
See
<07200> (8799)
not; and to the prophets
<02374>_,
Prophesy
<02372> (8799)
not unto us right things
<05229>_,
speak
<01696> (8761)
unto us smooth things
<02513>_,
prophesy
<02372> (8798)
deceits
<04123>_:
Get you out
<05493> (8798)
of the way
<01870>_,
turn aside
<05186> (8685)
out of the path
<0734>_,
cause the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
to cease
<07673> (8685)
from before
<06440>
us.
Wherefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Because ye despise
<03988> (8800)
this word
<01697>_,
and trust
<0982> (8799)
in oppression
<06233>
and perverseness
<03868> (8737)_,
and stay
<08172> (8735)
thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
Therefore this iniquity
<05771>
shall be to you as a breach
<06556>
ready to fall
<05307> (8802)_,
swelling out
<01158> (8737)
in a high
<07682> (8737)
wall
<02346>_,
whose breaking
<07667>
cometh
<0935> (8799)
suddenly
<06597>
at an instant
<06621>_.
And he shall break
<07665> (8804)
it as the breaking
<07667>
of the potters
<03335> (8802)_'
vessel
<05035>
that is broken in pieces
<03807> (8800)_;
he shall not spare
<02550> (8799)_:
so that there shall not be found
<04672> (8735)
in the bursting
<04386>
of it a sherd
<02789>
to take
<02846> (8800)
fire
<0784>
from the hearth
<03344> (8803)_,
or to take
<02834> (8800)
water
<04325>
[withal] out of the pit
<01360>_.
{the potters'...: Heb. the bottle of potters}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
In returning
<07729>
and rest
<05183>
shall ye be saved
<03467> (8735)_;
in quietness
<08252> (8687)
and in confidence
<0985>
shall be your strength
<01369>_:
and ye would
<014> (8804)
not.
But ye said
<0559> (8799)_,
No; for we will flee
<05127> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_;
therefore shall ye flee
<05127> (8799)_:
and, We will ride
<07392> (8799)
upon the swift
<07031>_;
therefore shall they that pursue
<07291> (8802)
you be swift
<07043> (8735)_.
One
<0259>
thousand
<0505>
[shall flee] at
<06440>
the rebuke
<01606>
of one
<0259>_;
at
<06440>
the rebuke
<01606>
of five
<02568>
shall ye flee
<05127> (8799)_:
till ye be left
<03498> (8738)
as a beacon
<08650>
upon the top
<07218>
of a mountain
<02022>_,
and as an ensign
<05251>
on an hill
<01389>_.
{a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast}
And therefore will the LORD
<03068>
wait
<02442> (8762)_,
that he may be gracious
<02603> (8800)
unto you, and therefore will he be exalted
<07311> (8799)_,
that he may have mercy
<07355> (8763)
upon you: for the LORD
<03068>
[is] a God
<0430>
of judgment
<04941>_:
blessed
<0835>
[are] all they that wait
<02442> (8802)
for him.
For the people
<05971>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
in Zion
<06726>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
thou shalt weep
<01058> (8799)
no more
<01058> (8800)_:
he will be very
<02603> (8800)
gracious
<02603> (8799)
unto thee at the voice
<06963>
of thy cry
<02199> (8800)_;
when he shall hear
<08085> (8800)
it, he will answer
<06030> (8804)
thee.
And [though] the Lord
<0136>
give
<05414> (8804)
you the bread
<03899>
of adversity
<06862>_,
and the water
<04325>
of affliction
<03906>_,
yet shall not thy teachers
<03384> (8688)
be removed into a corner
<03670> (8735)
any more, but thine eyes
<05869>
shall see
<07200> (8802)
thy teachers
<03384> (8688)_:
{affliction: or, oppression}
And thine ears
<0241>
shall hear
<08085> (8799)
a word
<01697>
behind
<0310>
thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This [is] the way
<01870>_,
walk ye in it
<03212> (8798)_,
when ye turn to the right hand
<0541> (8686)_,
and when ye turn to the left
<08041> (8686)_.
Ye shall defile
<02930> (8765)
also the covering
<06826>
of thy graven images
<06456>
of silver
<03701>_,
and the ornament
<0642>
of thy molten images
<04541>
of gold
<02091>_:
thou shalt cast them away
<02219> (8799)
as a menstruous cloth
<01739>_;
thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)
unto it, Get thee hence
<03318> (8798)_.
{thy graven...: Heb. the graven images of thy silver} {cast: Heb. scatter}
Then shall he give
<05414> (8804)
the rain
<04306>
of thy seed
<02233>_,
that thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)
the ground
<0127>
withal; and bread
<03899>
of the increase
<08393>
of the earth
<0127>_,
and it shall be fat
<01879>
and plenteous
<08082>_:
in that day
<03117>
shall thy cattle
<04735>
feed
<07462> (8799)
in large
<07337> (8737)
pastures
<03733>_.
The oxen
<0504>
likewise and the young asses
<05895>
that ear
<05647> (8802)
the ground
<0127>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
clean
<02548>
provender
<01098>_,
which hath been winnowed
<02219> (8802)
with the shovel
<07371>
and with the fan
<04214>_.
{clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened}
And there shall be upon every high
<01364>
mountain
<02022>_,
and upon every high
<05375> (8737)
hill
<01389>_,
rivers
<06388>
[and] streams
<02988>
of waters
<04325>
in the day
<03117>
of the great
<07227>
slaughter
<02027>_,
when the towers
<04026>
fall
<05307> (8800)_.
{high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
Moreover the light
<0216>
of the moon
<03842>
shall be as the light
<0216>
of the sun
<02535>_,
and the light
<0216>
of the sun
<02535>
shall be sevenfold
<07659>_,
as the light
<0216>
of seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
in the day
<03117>
that the LORD
<03068>
bindeth up
<02280> (8800)
the breach
<07667>
of his people
<05971>_,
and healeth
<07495> (8799)
the stroke
<04273>
of their wound
<04347>_.
Behold, the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
cometh
<0935> (8804)
from far
<04801>_,
burning
<01197> (8802)
[with] his anger
<0639>_,
and the burden
<04858>
[thereof is] heavy
<03514>_:
his lips
<08193>
are full
<04390> (8804)
of indignation
<02195>_,
and his tongue
<03956>
as a devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_:
{burden...: or, grievousness of flame} {heavy: Heb. heaviness}
And his breath
<07307>_,
as an overflowing
<07857> (8802)
stream
<05158>_,
shall reach to the midst
<02673> (8799)
of the neck
<06677>_,
to sift
<05130> (8687)
the nations
<01471>
with the sieve
<05299>
of vanity
<07723>_:
and [there shall be] a bridle
<07448>
in the jaws
<03895>
of the people
<05971>_,
causing [them] to err
<08582> (8688)_.
Ye shall have a song
<07892>_,
as in the night
<03915>
[when] a holy
<06942> (0)
solemnity
<02282>
is kept
<06942> (8692)_;
and gladness
<08057>
of heart
<03824>_,
as when one goeth
<01980> (8802)
with a pipe
<02485>
to come
<0935> (8800)
into the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to the mighty One
<06697>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{mighty...: Heb. Rock}
And the LORD
<03068>
shall cause his glorious
<01935>
voice
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)_,
and shall shew
<07200> (8686)
the lighting down
<05183>
of his arm
<02220>_,
with the indignation
<02197>
of [his] anger
<0639>_,
and [with] the flame
<03851>
of a devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_,
[with] scattering
<05311>_,
and tempest
<02230>_,
and hailstones
<068> <01259>_.
{his glorious...: Heb. the glory of his voice}
For through the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall the Assyrian
<0804>
be beaten down
<02865> (8735)_,
[which] smote
<05221> (8686)
with a rod
<07626>_.
And [in] every place
<03605>
where the grounded
<04145>
staff
<04294>
shall pass
<04569>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
shall lay
<05117> (8686)
upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets
<08596>
and harps
<03658>_:
and in battles
<04421>
of shaking
<08573>
will he fight
<03898> (8738)
with it. {in every...: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay...: Heb. cause to rest upon} {with it: or, against them}
For Tophet
<08613>
[is] ordained
<06186> (8803)
of old
<0865>_;
yea, for the king
<04428>
it is prepared
<03559> (8717)_;
he hath made [it] deep
<06009> (8689)
[and] large
<07337> (8689)_:
the pile
<04071>
thereof [is] fire
<0784>
and much
<07235> (8687)
wood
<06086>_;
the breath
<05397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
like a stream
<05158>
of brimstone
<01614>_,
doth kindle
<01197> (8802)
it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
Woe
<01945>
to them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to Egypt
<04714>
for help
<05833>_;
and stay
<08172> (8735)
on horses
<05483>_,
and trust
<0982> (8799)
in chariots
<07393>_,
because [they are] many
<07227>_;
and in horsemen
<06571>_,
because they are very
<03966>
strong
<06105> (8804)_;
but they look
<08159> (8804)
not unto the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
neither seek
<01875> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_!
Yet he also [is] wise
<02450>_,
and will bring
<0935> (8686)
evil
<07451>_,
and will not call back
<05493> (8689)
his words
<01697>_:
but will arise
<06965> (8804)
against the house
<01004>
of the evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,
and against the help
<05833>
of them that work
<06466> (8802)
iniquity
<0205>_.
{call...: Heb. remove}
Now the Egyptians
<04714>
[are] men
<0120>_,
and not God
<0410>_;
and their horses
<05483>
flesh
<01320>_,
and not spirit
<07307>_.
When the LORD
<03068>
shall stretch out
<05186> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_,
both he that helpeth
<05826> (8802)
shall fall
<03782> (8804)_,
and he that is holpen
<05826> (8803)
shall fall down
<05307> (8804)_,
and they all shall fail
<03615> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
For thus hath the LORD
<03068>
spoken
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Like as the lion
<0738>
and the young lion
<03715>
roaring
<01897> (8799)
on his prey
<02964>_,
when a multitude
<04393>
of shepherds
<07462> (8802)
is called forth
<07121> (8735)
against him, [he] will not be afraid
<02865> (8735)
of their voice
<06963>_,
nor abase
<06031> (8799)
himself for the noise
<01995>
of them: so shall the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
come down
<03381> (8799)
to fight
<06633> (8800)
for mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_,
and for the hill
<01389>
thereof. {noise: or, multitude}
As birds
<06833>
flying
<05774> (8802)_,
so will the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
defend
<01598> (8686)
Jerusalem
<03389>_;
defending
<01598> (8800)
also he will deliver
<05337> (8689)
[it; and] passing over
<06452> (8800)
he will preserve
<04422> (8689)
it.
Turn
<07725> (8798)
ye unto [him from] whom the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have deeply
<06009> (8689)
revolted
<05627>_.
For in that day
<03117>
every man
<0376>
shall cast away
<03988> (8799)
his idols
<0457>
of silver
<03701>_,
and his idols
<0457>
of gold
<02091>_,
which your own hands
<03027>
have made
<06213> (8804)
unto you [for] a sin
<02399>_.
{his idols of gold: Heb. the idols of his gold}
Then shall the Assyrian
<0804>
fall
<05307> (8804)
with the sword
<02719>_,
not of a mighty man
<0376>_;
and the sword
<02719>_,
not of a mean man
<0120>_,
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
him: but he shall flee
<05127> (8804)
from
<06440>
the sword
<02719>_,
and his young men
<0970>
shall be discomfited
<04522>_.
{from: or, for fear of} {discomfited: or, tributary: Heb. for melting, or, tribute}
And he shall pass over
<05674> (8799)
to his strong hold
<05553>
for fear
<04032>_,
and his princes
<08269>
shall be afraid
<02865> (8804)
of the ensign
<05251>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
whose fire
<0217>
[is] in Zion
<06726>_,
and his furnace
<08574>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{he...: Heb. his rock shall pass away for fear} {his strong hold: or, his strength}
Behold, a king
<04428>
shall reign
<04427> (8799)
in righteousness
<06664>_,
and princes
<08269>
shall rule
<08323> (8799)
in judgment
<04941>_.
And a man
<0376>
shall be as an hiding place
<04224>
from the wind
<07307>_,
and a covert
<05643>
from the tempest
<02230>_;
as rivers
<06388>
of water
<04325>
in a dry place
<06724>_,
as the shadow
<06738>
of a great
<03515>
rock
<05553>
in a weary
<05889>
land
<0776>_.
{great: Heb. heavy}
And the eyes
<05869>
of them that see
<07200> (8802)
shall not be dim
<08159> (8799)_,
and the ears
<0241>
of them that hear
<08085> (8802)
shall hearken
<07181> (8799)_.
The heart
<03824>
also of the rash
<04116> (8737)
shall understand
<0995> (8799)
knowledge
<01847>_,
and the tongue
<03956>
of the stammerers
<05926>
shall be ready
<04116> (8762)
to speak
<01696> (8763)
plainly
<06703>_.
{rash: Heb. hasty} {plainly: or, elegantly}
The vile person
<05036>
shall be no more called
<07121> (8735)
liberal
<05081>_,
nor the churl
<03596>
said
<0559> (8735)
[to be] bountiful
<07771>_.
For the vile person
<05036>
will speak
<01696> (8762)
villany
<05039>_,
and his heart
<03820>
will work
<06213> (8799)
iniquity
<0205>_,
to practise
<06213> (8800)
hypocrisy
<02612>_,
and to utter
<01696> (8763)
error
<08442>
against the LORD
<03068>_,
to make empty
<07324> (8687)
the soul
<05315>
of the hungry
<07457>_,
and he will cause the drink
<04945>
of the thirsty
<06771>
to fail
<02637> (8686)_.
The instruments
<03627>
also of the churl
<03596>
[are] evil
<07451>_:
he deviseth
<03289> (8804)
wicked devices
<02154>
to destroy
<02254> (8763)
the poor
<06041> (8675) <06035>
with lying
<08267>
words
<0561>_,
even when the needy
<034>
speaketh
<01696> (8763)
right
<04941>_.
{the needy...: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment}
But the liberal
<05081>
deviseth
<03289> (8804)
liberal things
<05081>_;
and by liberal things
<05081>
shall he stand
<06965> (8799)_.
{stand: or, be established}
Rise up
<06965> (8798)_,
ye women
<0802>
that are at ease
<07600>_;
hear
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_,
ye careless
<0982> (8802)
daughters
<01323>_;
give ear
<0238> (8685)
unto my speech
<0565>_.
Many days
<03117>
and years
<08141>
shall ye be troubled
<07264> (8799)_,
ye careless women
<0982> (8802)_:
for the vintage
<01210>
shall fail
<03615> (8804)_,
the gathering
<0625>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.
{Many...: Heb. Days above a year}
Tremble
<02729> (8798)_,
ye women that are at ease
<07600>_;
be troubled
<07264> (8798)_,
ye careless ones
<0982> (8802)_:
strip
<06584> (8800)
you, and make you bare
<06209> (8798)_,
and gird
<02290>
[sackcloth] upon [your] loins
<02504>_.
They shall lament
<05594> (8802)
for the teats
<07699>_,
for the pleasant
<02531>
fields
<07704>_,
for the fruitful
<06509> (8802)
vine
<01612>_.
{pleasant...: Heb. fields of desire}
Upon the land
<0127>
of my people
<05971>
shall come up
<05927> (8799)
thorns
<06975>
[and] briers
<08068>_;
yea, upon all the houses
<01004>
of joy
<04885>
[in] the joyous
<05947>
city
<07151>_:
{yea...: or, burning upon}
Because the palaces
<0759>
shall be forsaken
<05203> (8795)_;
the multitude
<01995>
of the city
<05892>
shall be left
<05800> (8795)_;
the forts
<06076>
and towers
<0975>
shall be for dens
<04631>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
a joy
<04885>
of wild asses
<06501>_,
a pasture
<04829>
of flocks
<05739>_;
{forts...: or, clifts and watchtowers}
Until the spirit
<07307>
be poured
<06168> (8735)
upon us from on high
<04791>_,
and the wilderness
<04057>
be a fruitful field
<03759>_,
and the fruitful field
<03759>
be counted
<02803> (8735)
for a forest
<03293>_.
Then judgment
<04941>
shall dwell
<07931> (8804)
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and righteousness
<06666>
remain
<03427> (8799)
in the fruitful field
<03759>_.
And the work
<04639>
of righteousness
<06666>
shall be peace
<07965>_;
and the effect
<05656>
of righteousness
<06666>
quietness
<08252> (8687)
and assurance
<0983>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
And my people
<05971>
shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
in a peaceable
<07965>
habitation
<05116>_,
and in sure
<04009>
dwellings
<04908>_,
and in quiet
<07600>
resting places
<04496>_;
When it shall hail
<01258> (8804)_,
coming down
<03381> (8800)
on the forest
<03293>_;
and the city
<05892>
shall be low
<08213> (8799)
in a low place
<08218>_.
{low in...: or, utterly abased}
Blessed
<0835>
[are] ye that sow
<02232> (8802)
beside all waters
<04325>_,
that send forth
<07971> (8764)
[thither] the feet
<07272>
of the ox
<07794>
and the ass
<02543>_.
Woe
<01945>
to thee that spoilest
<07703> (8802)_,
and thou [wast] not spoiled
<07703> (8803)_;
and dealest treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,
and they dealt not treacherously
<0898> (8804)
with thee! when thou shalt cease
<08552> (8687)
to spoil
<07703> (8802)_,
thou shalt be spoiled
<07703> (8714)_;
[and] when thou shalt make an end
<05239> (8687)
to deal treacherously
<0898> (8800)_,
they shall deal treacherously
<0898> (8799)
with thee.
O LORD
<03068>_,
be gracious
<02603> (8798)
unto us; we have waited
<06960> (8765)
for thee: be thou their arm
<02220>
every morning
<01242>_,
our salvation
<03444>
also in the time
<06256>
of trouble
<06869>_.
At the noise
<06963>
of the tumult
<01995>
the people
<05971>
fled
<05074> (8804)_;
at the lifting up
<07427>
of thyself the nations
<01471>
were scattered
<05310> (8804)_.
And your spoil
<07998>
shall be gathered
<0622> (8795)
[like] the gathering
<0625>
of the caterpiller
<02625>_:
as the running to and fro
<04944>
of locusts
<01357>
shall he run
<08264> (8802)
upon them.
The LORD
<03068>
is exalted
<07682> (8737)_;
for he dwelleth
<07931> (8802)
on high
<04791>_:
he hath filled
<04390> (8765)
Zion
<06726>
with judgment
<04941>
and righteousness
<06666>_.
And wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<01847>
shall be the stability
<0530>
of thy times
<06256>_,
[and] strength
<02633>
of salvation
<03444>_:
the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] his treasure
<0214>_.
{salvation: Heb. salvations}
Behold, their valiant ones
<0691>
shall cry
<06817> (8804)
without
<02351>_:
the ambassadors
<04397>
of peace
<07965>
shall weep
<01058> (8799)
bitterly
<04751>_.
{valiant...: or, messengers}
The highways
<04546>
lie waste
<08074> (8738)_,
the wayfaring man
<05674> (8802) <0734>
ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_:
he hath broken
<06565> (8689)
the covenant
<01285>_,
he hath despised
<03988> (8804)
the cities
<05892>_,
he regardeth
<02803> (8804)
no man
<0582>_.
The earth
<0776>
mourneth
<056> (8804)
[and] languisheth
<0535> (8797)_:
Lebanon
<03844>
is ashamed
<02659> (8689)
[and] hewn down
<07060> (8804)_:
Sharon
<08289>
is like a wilderness
<06160>_;
and Bashan
<01316>
and Carmel
<03760>
shake off
<05287> (8802)
[their fruits]. {hewn...: or, withered away}
Now will I rise
<06965> (8799)_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_;
now will I be exalted
<07426> (8735)_;
now will I lift up
<05375> (8735)
myself.
Ye shall conceive
<02029> (8799)
chaff
<02842>_,
ye shall bring forth
<03205> (8799)
stubble
<07179>_:
your breath
<07307>_,
[as] fire
<0784>_,
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
you.
And the people
<05971>
shall be [as] the burnings
<04955>
of lime
<07875>_:
[as] thorns
<06975>
cut up
<03683> (8803)
shall they be burned
<03341> (8799)
in the fire
<0784>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye [that are] far off
<07350>_,
what I have done
<06213> (8804)_;
and, ye [that are] near
<07138>_,
acknowledge
<03045> (8798)
my might
<01369>_.
The sinners
<02400>
in Zion
<06726>
are afraid
<06342> (8804)_;
fearfulness
<07461>
hath surprised
<0270> (8804)
the hypocrites
<02611>_.
Who among us shall dwell
<01481> (8799)
with the devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_?
who among us shall dwell
<01481> (8799)
with everlasting
<05769>
burnings
<04168>_?
He that walketh
<01980> (8802)
righteously
<06666>_,
and speaketh
<01696> (8802)
uprightly
<04339>_;
he that despiseth
<03988> (8802)
the gain
<01215>
of oppressions
<04642>_,
that shaketh
<05287> (8802)
his hands
<03709>
from holding
<08551> (8800)
of bribes
<07810>_,
that stoppeth
<0331> (8801)
his ears
<0241>
from hearing
<08085> (8800)
of blood
<01818>_,
and shutteth
<06105> (8802)
his eyes
<05869>
from seeing
<07200> (8800)
evil
<07451>_;
{righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
He shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
on high
<04791>_:
his place of defence
<04869>
[shall be] the munitions
<04679>
of rocks
<05553>_:
bread
<03899>
shall be given
<05414> (8737)
him; his waters
<04325>
[shall be] sure
<0539> (8737)_.
{high: Heb. heights, or, high places}
Thine eyes
<05869>
shall see
<02372> (8799)
the king
<04428>
in his beauty
<03308>_:
they shall behold
<07200> (8799)
the land
<0776>
that is very far off
<04801>_.
{that...: Heb. of far distances}
Thine heart
<03820>
shall meditate
<01897> (8799)
terror
<0367>_.
Where [is] the scribe
<05608> (8802)_?
where [is] the receiver
<08254> (8802)_?
where [is] he that counted
<05608> (8802)
the towers
<04026>_?
{receiver: Heb. weigher?}
Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
a fierce
<03267> (8737)
people
<05971>_,
a people
<05971>
of a deeper
<06012>
speech
<08193>
than thou canst perceive
<08085> (8800)_;
of a stammering
<03932> (8737)
tongue
<03956>_,
[that thou canst] not understand
<0998>_.
{stammering: or, ridiculous}
Look
<02372> (8798)
upon Zion
<06726>_,
the city
<07151>
of our solemnities
<04150>_:
thine eyes
<05869>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>
a quiet
<07600>
habitation
<05116>_,
a tabernacle
<0168>
[that] shall not be taken down
<06813> (8799)_;
not one of the stakes
<03489>
thereof shall ever
<05331>
be removed
<05265> (8799)_,
neither shall any of the cords
<02256>
thereof be broken
<05423> (8735)_.
But there the glorious
<0117>
LORD
<03068>
[will be] unto us a place
<04725>
of broad
<07342> <03027>
rivers
<05104>
[and] streams
<02975>_;
wherein shall go
<03212> (8799)
no
<01077>
galley
<0590>
with oars
<07885>_,
neither shall gallant
<0117>
ship
<06716>
pass
<05674> (8799)
thereby. {of...: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands}
For the LORD
<03068>
[is] our judge
<08199> (8802)_,
the LORD
<03068>
[is] our lawgiver
<02710> (8781)_,
the LORD
<03068>
[is] our king
<04428>_;
he will save
<03467> (8686)
us. {lawgiver: Heb. statutemaker}
Thy tacklings
<02256>
are loosed
<05203> (8738)_;
they could not well
<03653>
strengthen
<02388> (8762)
their mast
<08650>_,
they could not spread
<06566> (8804)
the sail
<05251>_:
then is the prey
<05706>
of a great
<04766>
spoil
<07998>
divided
<02505> (8795)_;
the lame
<06455>
take
<0962> (8804)
the prey
<0957>_.
{Thy...: or, They have forsaken thy tacklings}
And the inhabitant
<07934>
shall not say
<0559> (8799)_,
I am sick
<02470> (8804)_:
the people
<05971>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein [shall be] forgiven
<05375> (8803)
[their] iniquity
<05771>_.
Come near
<07126> (8798)_,
ye nations
<01471>_,
to hear
<08085> (8800)_;
and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
ye people
<03816>_:
let the earth
<0776>
hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the world
<08398>_,
and all things that come forth
<06631>
of it. {all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignation
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] upon all nations
<01471>_,
and [his] fury
<02534>
upon all their armies
<06635>_:
he hath utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
them, he hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them to the slaughter
<02874>_.
Their slain
<02491>
also shall be cast out
<07993> (8714)_,
and their stink
<0889>
shall come up
<05927> (8799)
out of their carcases
<06297>_,
and the mountains
<02022>
shall be melted
<04549> (8738)
with their blood
<01818>_.
And all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
shall be dissolved
<04743> (8738)_,
and the heavens
<08064>
shall be rolled together
<01556> (8738)
as a scroll
<05612>_:
and all their host
<06635>
shall fall down
<05034> (8799)_,
as the leaf
<05929>
falleth off
<05034> (8800)
from the vine
<01612>_,
and as a falling
<05034> (8802)
[fig] from the fig tree
<08384>_.
For my sword
<02719>
shall be bathed
<07301> (8765)
in heaven
<08064>_:
behold, it shall come down
<03381> (8799)
upon Idumea
<0123>_,
and upon the people
<05971>
of my curse
<02764>_,
to judgment
<04941>_.
The sword
<02719>
of the LORD
<03068>
is filled
<04390> (8804)
with blood
<01818>_,
it is made fat
<01878> (8719)
with fatness
<02459>_,
[and] with the blood
<01818>
of lambs
<03733>
and goats
<06260>_,
with the fat
<02459>
of the kidneys
<03629>
of rams
<0352>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath a sacrifice
<02077>
in Bozrah
<01224>_,
and a great
<01419>
slaughter
<02874>
in the land
<0776>
of Idumea
<0123>_.
And the unicorns
<07214>
shall come down
<03381> (8804)
with them, and the bullocks
<06499>
with the bulls
<047>_;
and their land
<0776>
shall be soaked
<07301> (8765)
with blood
<01818>_,
and their dust
<06083>
made fat
<01878> (8792)
with fatness
<02459>_.
{unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For [it is] the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
vengeance
<05359>_,
[and] the year
<08141>
of recompences
<07966>
for the controversy
<07379>
of Zion
<06726>_.
And the streams
<05158>
thereof shall be turned
<02015> (8738)
into pitch
<02203>_,
and the dust
<06083>
thereof into brimstone
<01614>_,
and the land
<0776>
thereof shall become burning
<01197> (8802)
pitch
<02203>_.
It shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)
night
<03915>
nor day
<03119>_;
the smoke
<06227>
thereof shall go up
<05927> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_:
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>
it shall lie waste
<02717> (8799)_;
none shall pass through
<05674> (8802)
it for ever
<05331>
and ever
<05331>_.
But the cormorant
<06893>
and the bittern
<07090>
shall possess
<03423> (8804)
it; the owl
<03244>
also and the raven
<06158>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
in it: and he shall stretch out
<05186> (8804)
upon it the line
<06957>
of confusion
<08414>_,
and the stones
<068>
of emptiness
<0922>_.
{cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall call
<07121> (8799)
the nobles
<02715>
thereof to the kingdom
<04410>_,
but none [shall be] there, and all her princes
<08269>
shall be nothing
<0657>_.
And thorns
<05518>
shall come up
<05927> (8804)
in her palaces
<0759>_,
nettles
<07057>
and brambles
<02336>
in the fortresses
<04013>
thereof: and it shall be an habitation
<05116>
of dragons
<08577>_,
[and] a court
<02681>
for owls
<01323> <03284>_.
{owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
shall also meet
<06298> (8804)
with the wild beasts of the island
<0338>_,
and the satyr
<08163>
shall cry
<07121> (8799)
to his fellow
<07453>_;
the screech owl
<03917>
also shall rest
<07280> (8689)
there, and find
<04672> (8804)
for herself a place of rest
<04494>_.
{The wild...desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild...island: Heb. Ijim} {screech...: or, night monster}
There shall the great owl
<07091>
make her nest
<07077> (8765)_,
and lay
<04422> (8762)_,
and hatch
<01234> (8804)_,
and gather
<01716> (8804)
under her shadow
<06738>_:
there shall the vultures
<01772>
also be gathered
<06908> (8738)_,
every one
<0802>
with her mate
<07468>_.
Seek ye out
<01875> (8798)
of the book
<05612>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and read
<07121> (8798)_:
no one
<0259>
of these
<02007>
shall fail
<05737> (8738)_,
none
<0802>
shall want
<06485> (8804)
her mate
<07468>_:
for my mouth
<06310>
it hath commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
and his spirit
<07307>
it hath gathered
<06908> (8765)
them.
And he hath cast
<05307> (8689)
the lot
<01486>
for them, and his hand
<03027>
hath divided
<02505> (8765)
it unto them by line
<06957>_:
they shall possess
<03423> (8799)
it for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>
shall they dwell
<07931> (8799)
therein.
The wilderness
<04057>
and the solitary place
<06723>
shall be glad
<07797> (8799)
for them; and the desert
<06160>
shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_,
and blossom
<06524> (8799)
as the rose
<02261>_.
It shall blossom
<06524> (8799)
abundantly
<06524> (8800)_,
and rejoice
<01523> (8799)
even with joy
<01525>
and singing
<07444> (8763)_:
the glory
<03519>
of Lebanon
<03844>
shall be given
<05414> (8738)
unto it, the excellency
<01926>
of Carmel
<03760>
and Sharon
<08289>_,
they shall see
<07200> (8799)
the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] the excellency
<01926>
of our God
<0430>_.
Strengthen
<02388> (8761)
ye the weak
<07504>
hands
<03027>_,
and confirm
<0553> (8761)
the feeble
<03782> (8802)
knees
<01290>_.
Say
<0559> (8798)
to them [that are] of a fearful
<04116> (8737)
heart
<03820>_,
Be strong
<02388> (8798)_,
fear
<03372> (8799)
not: behold, your God
<0430>
will come
<0935> (8799)
[with] vengeance
<05359>_,
[even] God
<0430>
[with] a recompence
<01576>_;
he will come
<0935> (8799)
and save
<03467> (8686)
you. {fearful: Heb. hasty}
Then the eyes
<05869>
of the blind
<05787>
shall be opened
<06491> (8735)_,
and the ears
<0241>
of the deaf
<02795>
shall be unstopped
<06605> (8735)_.
Then shall the lame
<06455>
[man] leap
<01801> (8762)
as an hart
<0354>_,
and the tongue
<03956>
of the dumb
<0483>
sing
<07442> (8799)_:
for in the wilderness
<04057>
shall waters
<04325>
break out
<01234> (8738)_,
and streams
<05158>
in the desert
<06160>_.
And the parched ground
<08273>
shall become a pool
<098>_,
and the thirsty land
<06774>
springs
<04002>
of water
<04325>_:
in the habitation
<05116>
of dragons
<08577>_,
where each lay
<07258>_,
[shall be] grass
<02682>
with reeds
<07070>
and rushes
<01573>_.
{grass...: or, a court for reeds, etc}
And an highway
<04547>
shall be there, and a way
<01870>_,
and it shall be called
<07121> (8735)
The way
<01870>
of holiness
<06944>_;
the unclean
<02931>
shall not pass over
<05674> (8799)
it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men
<01980> (8802)_,
though fools
<0191>_,
shall not err
<08582> (8799)
[therein]. {but...: or, for he shall be with them}
No lion
<0738>
shall be there, nor [any] ravenous
<06530>
beast
<02416>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)
thereon, it shall not be found
<04672> (8735)
there; but the redeemed
<01350> (8803)
shall walk
<01980> (8804)
[there]:
And the ransomed
<06299> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>
shall return
<07725> (8799)_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
to Zion
<06726>
with songs
<07440>
and everlasting
<05769>
joy
<08057>
upon their heads
<07218>_:
they shall obtain
<05381> (8686)
joy
<08057>
and gladness
