Isaiah 13:1--24:23

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>_.

<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}
