Hold thy peace
<02013> (8761)

[is] at hand
<07138>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath prepared
<03559> (8689)

the princes
<08269>_,

and the king's
<04428>

children
<01121>_,

which fill
<04390> (8764)

their masters
<0113>_'

houses
<01004>

with violence
<02555>

and deceit
<04820>_.

1:10

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[that there shall be] the noise
<06963>

of a cry
<06818>

from the fish
<01709>

gate
<08179>_,

and an howling
<03215>

from the second

crashing
<07667>

from the hills

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Maktesh
<04389>_,

for all the merchant

people
<05971>

are cut down
<01820> (8738)_;

all they that bear

and punish
<06485> (8804)

the men
<0582>

that are settled
<07087> (8802)

on their lees
<08105>_:

that say
<0559> (8802)

in their heart
<03824>_,

The LORD
<03068>

will not do good
<03190> (8686)_,

neither will he do evil

a desolation
<08077>_:

they shall also build
<01129> (8804)

houses
<01004>_,

but not inhabit
<03427> (8799)

[them]; and they shall plant
<05193> (8804)

vineyards
<03754>_,

but not drink
<08354> (8799)

the wine
<03196>

thereof.

The great
<01419>

day
<03117>

of the LORD

[is] near
<07138>_,

[it is] near
<07138>_,

and hasteth
<04118>

greatly
<03966>_,

[even] the voice
<06963>

of the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

the mighty man
<01368>

shall cry
<06873> (8802)

there bitterly
<04751>_.

1:15

That day
<03117>

[is] a day
<03117>

of wrath
<05678>_,

a day
<03117>

of trouble
<06869>

and distress
<04691>_,

a day
<03117>

of wasteness
<07722>

and desolation
<04875>_,

a day
<03117>

of darkness
<02822>

and gloominess
<0653>_,

a day
<03117>

of clouds
<06051>

and thick darkness
<06205>_,

1:16

A day
<03117>

of the trumpet
<07782>

and alarm
<08643>

against the fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>_,

and against the high
<01364>

towers
<06438>_.

1:17

And I will bring distress
<06887> (8689)

upon men
<0120>_,

that they shall walk
<01980> (8804)

like blind men
<05787>_,

because they have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_:

and their blood
<01818>

shall be poured out
<08210> (8795)

as dust
<06083>_,

and their flesh
<03894>

as the dung
<01561>_.

1:18

Neither their silver
<03701>

nor their gold
<02091>

shall be able
<03201> (8799)

to deliver
<05337> (8687)

them in the day
<03117>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

wrath
<05678>_;

but the whole land
<0776>

shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)

by the fire
<0784>

of his jealousy
<07068>_:

for he shall make
<06213> (8799)

even a speedy
<0926> (8737)

riddance
<03617>

of all them that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_.
