18:3

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.

18:4

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}

18:5

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>_.

18:6

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.

18:7

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}

19:1

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.

19:2

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}

19:3

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}

19:4

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}

19:5

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)_.

19:6

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)_.

19:7

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}

19:8

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)_.

19:9

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}

19:10

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}

19:11

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>_?

19:12

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>_.

19:13

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}

19:14

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}

19:15

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)_.

19:16

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.

19:17

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.

19:18

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}

19:19

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>_.

19:20

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.

19:21

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].

19:22

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.

19:23

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>_.

19:24

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>_:

19:25

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>_.

20:1

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;

20:2

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}

20:3

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>_;

20:4

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}

20:5

And they shall be afraid
<02865> (8804)

and ashamed
<0954> (8804)

of Ethiopia
<03568>

their expectation
<04007>_,

and of Egypt
<04714>

their glory
<08597>_.

20:6

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}

21:1

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>_.

21:2

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}

21:3

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].

21:4

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}

21:5

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>_.

21:6

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)_.

21:7

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>_:

21:8

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}

21:9

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>_.

21:10

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}

21:11

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>_?

21:12

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)_.

21:13

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>_.

21:14

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}

21:15

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}

21:16

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)_:

21:17

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}
