A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. His foundationH3248 is in the holyH6944 mountainsH2042. {for the sons: or, of the sons}
The LORDH3068 lovethH157 the gatesH8179 of ZionH6726 more than all the dwellingsH4908 of JacobH3290.
Glorious thingsH3513 are spokenH1696 of thee, O cityH5892 of GodH430. SelahH5542.
I will make mentionH2142 of RahabH7294 and BabylonH894 to them that knowH3045 me: behold PhilistiaH6429, and TyreH6865, with EthiopiaH3568; this man was bornH3205 there.
And of ZionH6726 it shall be saidH559, This and that manH376 was bornH3205 in her: and the highestH5945 himself shall establishH3559 her.
The LORDH3068 shall countH5608, when he writeth upH3789 the peopleH5971, that this man was bornH3205 there. SelahH5542.
As well the singersH7891 as the playersH2490 on instruments shall be there: all my springsH4599 are in thee.
Querverweise zu Psalm 87,4 Ps 87,4
Thou hast brokenH1792 RahabH7294 in piecesH1792, as one that is slainH2491; thou hast scatteredH6340 thine enemiesH341 with thy strongH5797 armH2220. {Rahab: or, Egypt} {thy…: Heb. the arm of thy strength}
By the riversH5104 of BabylonH894, there we sat downH3427, yea, we weptH1058, when we rememberedH2142 ZionH6726.
And the daughterH1323 of TyreH6865 shall be there with a giftH4503; even the richH6223 among the peopleH5971 shall intreatH2470 thy favourH6440. {favour: Heb. face}
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to proveH5254 him with hard questionsH2420.
And she cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 greatH3515 trainH2428, with camelsH1581 that bareH5375 spicesH1314, and veryH3966 muchH7227 goldH2091, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communedH1696 with him of all that was in her heartH3824.
And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 her all her questionsH1697: there was not any thingH1697 hidH5956 from the kingH4428, which he toldH5046 her not. {questions: Heb. words}
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 all Solomon'sH8010 wisdomH2451, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,
And the meatH3978 of his tableH7979, and the sittingH4186 of his servantsH5650, and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparelH4403, and his cupbearersH8248, and his ascentH5930 by which he went upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was no more spiritH7307 in her. {attendance: Heb. standing} {cupbearers: or, butlers}
And she saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 that I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thy actsH1697 and of thy wisdomH2451. {report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
Howbeit I believedH539 not the wordsH1697, until I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, behold, the halfH2677 was not toldH5046 me: thy wisdomH2451 and prosperityH2896 exceedethH3254 the fameH8052 which I heardH8085. {thy…: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to}
HappyH835 are thy menH582, happyH835 are these thy servantsH5650, which standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and that hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee, to setH5414 thee on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478: because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 IsraelH3478 for everH5769, therefore madeH7760 he thee kingH4428, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.
And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 veryH3966 great storeH7235, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: there cameH935 no more suchH1931 abundanceH7230 of spicesH1314 as these which the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And the navyH590 also of HiramH2438, that broughtH5375 goldH2091 from OphirH211, brought inH935 from OphirH211 greatH3966 plentyH7235 of almugH484 treesH6086, and preciousH3368 stonesH68.
And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the almugH484 treesH6086 pillarsH4552 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for the king'sH4428 houseH1004, harpsH3658 also and psalteriesH5035 for singersH7891: there cameH935 no such almugH484 treesH6086, nor were seenH7200 unto this dayH3117. {pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 unto the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatsoever she askedH7592, beside that which SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 her of his royalH4428 bountyH3027. So she turnedH6437 and wentH3212 to her own countryH776, she and her servantsH5650. {of his…: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon}
Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 threescoreH8346 and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091,
Beside that he had of the merchantmenH582+H8446, and of the traffickH4536 of the spice merchantsH7402, and of all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6153, and of the governorsH6346 of the countryH776. {governors: or, captains}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 two hundredH3967 targetsH6793 of beatenH7820 goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 targetH6793.
And he made threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beatenH7820 goldH2091; threeH7969 poundH4488 of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 shieldH4043: and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with the bestH6338 goldH2091.
The throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 was roundH5696 behindH310: and there were staysH3027 on either side on the placeH4725 of the seatH7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975 besideH681 the staysH3027. {behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof} {stays: Heb. hands}
And twelveH8147+H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was not the likeH3651 madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467. {the like: Heb. so}
And all kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091; none were of silverH3701: it was nothingH3972 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {none…: or, there was no silver in them}
For the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 a navyH590 of TharshishH8659 with the navyH590 of HiramH2438: onceH259 in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the navyH590 of TharshishH8659, bringingH5375 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500. {ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceededH1431 all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 for richesH6239 and for wisdomH2451.
And all the earthH776 soughtH1245 toH6440 SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. {sought to: Heb. sought the face of}
And they broughtH935 every manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and garmentsH8008, and armourH5402, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rateH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.
And SolomonH8010 gathered togetherH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, whom he bestowedH5148 in the citiesH5892 for chariotsH7393, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 to be in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he to be as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the valeH8219, for abundanceH7230. {made: Heb. gave}
And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of EgyptH4714, and linen yarnH4723: the king'sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 the linen yarnH4723 at a priceH4242. {And Solomon…: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And a chariotH4818 came upH5927 and went outH3318 of EgyptH4714 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572: and so for all the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and for the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758, did they bring them outH3318 by their meansH3027. {by their…: Heb. by their hand}
PrincesH2831 shall come outH857 of EgyptH4714; EthiopiaH3568 shall soon stretch outH7323 her handsH3027 unto GodH430.
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, put onH3847 strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LORDH3068; awakeH5782, as in the ancientH6924 daysH3117, in the generationsH1755 of oldH5769. Art thou not it that hath cutH2672 RahabH7294, and woundedH2490 the dragonH8577?
O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894, who art to be destroyedH7703; happyH835 shall he be, that rewardethH7999 thee as thou hast servedH1580+H1576 us. {destroyed: Heb. wasted} {rewardeth…: Heb. recompenseth unto thee thy deed which thou didst to us}
The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid wasteH7703, so that there is no houseH1004, no entering inH935: from the landH776 of ChittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them.
Be stillH1826, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339; thou whom the merchantsH5503 of ZidonH6721, that pass overH5674 the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390. {still: Heb. silent}
And by greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of SihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the riverH2975, is her revenueH8393; and she is a martH5505 of nationsH1471.
Be thou ashamedH954, O ZidonH6721: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, even the strengthH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I travailH2342 not, nor bring forth childrenH3205, neither do I nourish upH1431 young menH970, nor bring upH7311 virginsH1330.
As at the reportH8088 concerning EgyptH4714, so shall they be sorely painedH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.
Pass ye overH5674 to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339.
Is this your joyousH5947 city, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancientH6924 daysH3117? her own feetH7272 shall carryH2986 her afar offH7350 to sojournH1481. {afar…: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counselH3289 against TyreH6865, the crowningH5849 city, whose merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whose traffickersH3667 are the honourableH3513 of the earthH776?
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stainH2490 the prideH1347 of all gloryH6643, and to bring into contemptH7043 all the honourableH3513 of the earthH776. {to stain: Heb. to pollute}
PassH5674 through thy landH776 as a riverH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659: there is no more strengthH4206. {strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he shookH7264 the kingdomsH4467: the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 against the merchantH3667 city, to destroyH8045 the strongH4581 holdsH4581 thereof. {against…: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong…: or, strengths}
And he saidH559, Thou shalt no moreH3254 rejoiceH5937, O thou oppressedH6231 virginH1330, daughterH1323 of ZidonH6721: ariseH6965, pass overH5674 to ChittimH3794; there also shalt thou have no restH5117.
Behold the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; this peopleH5971 was not, till the AssyrianH804 foundedH3245 it for them that dwell in the wildernessH6728: they set upH6965 the towersH971 thereof, they raised upH6209 the palacesH759 thereof; and he broughtH7760 it to ruinH4654.
HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659: for your strengthH4581 is laid wasteH7703.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall be forgottenH7911 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428: after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 shall TyreH6865 singH7892 as an harlotH2181. {shall Tyre…: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
TakeH3947 an harpH3658, go aboutH5437 the cityH5892, thou harlotH2181 that hast been forgottenH7911; make sweetH3190 melodyH5059, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142.
And it shall come to pass after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that the LORDH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865, and she shall turnH7725 to her hireH868, and shall commit fornicationH2181 with all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686 nor laid upH2630; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398 sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374. {durable: Heb. old}
AndG2532 he aroseG450 and wentG4198: andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 of EthiopiaG128, an eunuchG2135 of great authorityG1413 under CandaceG2582 queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 hadG2258 the charge ofG1909 allG3956 herG846 treasureG1047, andG3739 had comeG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 for to worshipG4352,
And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Why are ye come outH3318 to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 you a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to me.
HappyH835 shall he be, that takethH270 and dashethH5310 thy little onesH5768 against the stonesH5553. {the stones: Heb. the rock}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for TyrusH6865;
And sayH559 unto TyrusH6865, O thou that art situateH3427 at the entryH3997 of the seaH3220, which art a merchantH7402 of the peopleH5971 for manyH7227 islesH339, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; O TyrusH6865, thou hast saidH559, I am of perfectH3632 beautyH3308. {of perfect…: Heb. perfect of beauty}
Thy bordersH1366 are in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220, thy buildersH1129 have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308. {midst: Heb. heart}
They have madeH1129 all thy ship boardsH3871 of fir treesH1265 of SenirH8149: they have takenH3947 cedarsH730 from LebanonH3844 to makeH6213 mastsH8650 for thee. {made: Heb. built}
Of the oaksH437 of BashanH1316 have they madeH6213 thine oarsH4880; the companyH1323 of the AshuritesH839 have madeH6213 thy benchesH7175 of ivoryH8127, brought out of the islesH339 of ChittimH3794. {the company…: or, they have made thy hatches of ivory well trodden} {company: Heb. daughter}
Fine linenH8336 with broidered workH7553 from EgyptH4714 was that which thou spreadest forthH4666 to be thy sailH5251; blueH8504 and purpleH713 from the islesH339 of ElishahH473 was that which coveredH4374 thee. {blue…: or, purple and scarlet}
The inhabitantsH3427 of ZidonH6721 and ArvadH719 were thy marinersH7751: thy wiseH2450 men, O TyrusH6865, that were in thee, were thy pilotsH2259.
The ancientsH2205 of GebalH1380 and the wiseH2450 men thereof were in thee thy calkersH919+H2388: all the shipsH591 of the seaH3220 with their marinersH4419 were in thee to occupyH6148 thy merchandiseH4627. {calkers: or, stoppers of chinks: Heb. strengtheners, etc}
They of PersiaH6539 and of LudH3865 and of PhutH6316 were in thine armyH2428, thy menH582 of warH4421: they hangedH8518 the shieldH4043 and helmetH3553 in thee; they set forthH5414 thy comelinessH1926.
The menH1121 of ArvadH719 with thine armyH2428 were upon thy wallsH2346 round aboutH5439, and the GammadimsH1575 were in thy towersH4026: they hangedH8518 their shieldsH7982 upon thy wallsH2346 round aboutH5439; they have madeH3634 thy beautyH3308 perfectH3634.
TarshishH8659 was thy merchantH5503 by reason of the multitudeH7230 of all kind of richesH1952; with silverH3701, ironH1270, tinH913, and leadH5777, they tradedH5414 in thy fairsH5801.
JavanH3120, TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, they were thy merchantsH7402: they tradedH5414 the personsH5315 of menH120 and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 in thy marketH4627. {market: or, merchandise}
They of the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 tradedH5414 in thy fairsH5801 with horsesH5483 and horsemenH6571 and mulesH6505.
The menH1121 of DedanH1719 were thy merchantsH7402; manyH7227 islesH339 were the merchandiseH5506 of thine handH3027: they broughtH7725 thee for a presentH814 hornsH7161 of ivoryH8127 and ebonyH1894.
SyriaH758 was thy merchantH5503 by reason of the multitudeH7230 of the wares of thy makingH4639: they occupiedH5414 in thy fairsH5801 with emeraldsH5306, purpleH713, and broidered workH7553, and fine linenH948, and coralH7215, and agateH3539. {the wares…: Heb. thy works} {agate: or, chrysoprase}
JudahH3063, and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, they were thy merchantsH7402: they tradedH5414 in thy marketH4627 wheatH2406 of MinnithH4511, and PannagH6436, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081, and balmH6875. {balm: or, rosin}
DamascusH1834 was thy merchantH5503 in the multitudeH7230 of the wares of thy makingH4639, for the multitudeH7230 of all richesH1952; in the wineH3196 of HelbonH2463, and whiteH6713 woolH6785.
DanH2051+H1835 also and JavanH3120 going to and froH235 occupiedH5414 in thy fairsH5801: brightH6219 ironH1270, cassiaH6916, and calamusH7070, were in thy marketH4627. {going…: or, Meuzal}
DedanH1719 was thy merchantH7402 in preciousH2667 clothesH899 for chariotsH7396. {precious…: Heb. clothes of freedom}
ArabiaH6152, and all the princesH5387 of KedarH6938, they occupiedH5503 with theeH3027 in lambsH3733, and ramsH352, and goatsH6260: in these were they thy merchantsH5503. {they occupied…: Heb. they were the merchants of thy hand}
The merchantsH7402 of ShebaH7614 and RaamahH7484, they were thy merchantsH7402: they occupiedH5414 in thy fairsH5801 with chiefH7218 of all spicesH1314, and with all preciousH3368 stonesH68, and goldH2091.
HaranH2771, and CannehH3656, and EdenH5729, the merchantsH7402 of ShebaH7614, AsshurH804, and ChilmadH3638, were thy merchantsH7402.
These were thy merchantsH7402 in all sortsH4360 of things, in blueH8504 clothesH1545, and broidered workH7553, and in chestsH1595 of rich apparelH1264, boundH2280 with cordsH2256, and made of cedarH729, among thy merchandiseH4819. {all…: or, excellent things} {clothes: Heb. foldings}
The shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 did singH7788 of thee in thy marketH4627: and thou wast replenishedH4390, and made veryH3966 gloriousH3513 in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220.
Thy rowersH7751 have broughtH935 thee into greatH7227 watersH4325: the eastH6921 windH7307 hath brokenH7665 thee in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220. {midst: Heb. heart}
Thy richesH1952, and thy fairsH5801, thy merchandiseH4627, thy marinersH4419, and thy pilotsH2259, thy calkersH919+H2388, and the occupiersH6148 of thy merchandiseH4627, and all thy menH582 of warH4421, that are in thee, and in all thy companyH6951 which is in the midstH8432 of thee, shall fallH5307 into the midstH3820 of the seasH3220 in the dayH3117 of thy ruinH4658. {and in…: or, even with all} {midst of the seas: Heb. heart, etc}
The suburbsH4054 shall shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of the cryH2201 of thy pilotsH2259. {suburbs: or, waves}
And IshbibenobH3430, which was of the sonsH3211 of the giantH7497, the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 weighed threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of brassH5178 in weightH4948, he being girdedH2296 with a newH2319 sword, thoughtH559 to have slainH5221 DavidH1732. {the giant: or, Rapha} {spear: Heb. the staff, or, the head}
But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 succouredH5826 him, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and killedH4191 him. Then the menH582 of DavidH1732 swareH7650 unto him, sayingH559, Thou shalt goH3318 no more out with us to battleH4421, that thou quenchH3518 not the lightH5216 of IsraelH3478. {light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}
And it came to pass after thisH310, that there was again a battleH4421 with the PhilistinesH6430 at GobH1359: then SibbechaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 slewH5221 SaphH5593, which was of the sonsH3211 of the giantH7497. {the giant: or, Rapha} {Saph: or, Sippai}
And there was again a battleH4421 in GobH1359 with the PhilistinesH6430, where ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of JaareoregimH3296, a BethlehemiteH1022, slewH5221 the brother of GoliathH1555 the GittiteH1663, the staffH6086 of whose spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500. {Jaareoregim: or, Jair}
And there was yet a battleH4421 in GathH1661, where was a manH376 of great statureH4067+H4055, that had on every handH3027 sixH8337 fingersH676, and on every footH7272 sixH8337 toesH676, fourH702 and twentyH6242 in numberH4557; and he also was bornH3205 to the giantH7497. {the giant: or, Rapha}
And when he defiedH2778 IsraelH3478, JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeaH8092 the brotherH251 of DavidH1732 slewH5221 him. {defied: or, reproached}
These fourH702 were bornH3205 to the giantH7497 in GathH1661, and fellH5307 by the handH3027 of DavidH1732, and by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 unto this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 into BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become brutishH1197: how sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428?
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
In that dayH3117 shall there be a highwayH4546 out of EgyptH4714 to AssyriaH804, and the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into EgyptH4714, and the EgyptianH4714 into AssyriaH804, and the EgyptiansH4714 shall serveH5647 with the AssyriansH804.
In that dayH3117 shall IsraelH3478 be the thirdH7992 with EgyptH4714 and with AssyriaH804, even a blessingH1293 in the midstH7130 of the landH776:
Whom the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall blessH1288, sayingH559, BlessedH1288 be EgyptH4714 my peopleH5971, and AssyriaH804 the workH4639 of my handsH3027, and IsraelH3478 mine inheritanceH5159.
The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto the princeH5057 of TyrusH6865, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thine heartH3820 is lifted upH1361, and thou hast saidH559, I am a GodH410, I sitH3427 in the seatH4186 of GodH430, in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220; yet thou art a manH120, and not GodH410, though thou setH5414 thine heartH3820 as the heartH3820 of GodH430: {midst: Heb. heart}
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 against BabylonH894 and against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 byH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. {by…: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
DeclareH5046 ye among the nationsH1471, and publishH8085, and set upH5375 a standardH5251; publishH8085, and concealH3582 not: sayH559, BabylonH894 is takenH3920, BelH1078 is confoundedH3001, MerodachH4781 is broken in piecesH2865; her idolsH6091 are confoundedH3001, her imagesH1544 are broken in piecesH2865. {set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the northH6828 there cometh upH5927 a nationH1471 against her, which shall makeH7896 her landH776 desolateH8047, and none shall dwellH3427 therein: they shall removeH5110, they shall departH1980, both manH120 and beastH929.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 togetherH3162, goingH1980 and weepingH1058: they shall goH3212, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
They shall askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherwardH2008, saying, ComeH935, and let us joinH3867 ourselves to the LORDH3068 in a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
My peopleH5971 hath been lostH6 sheepH6629: their shepherdsH7462 have caused them to go astrayH8582, they have turned them awayH7725+H7726 on the mountainsH2022: they have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH1389, they have forgottenH7911 their restingplaceH7258. {restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them: and their adversariesH6862 saidH559, We offendH816 not, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, the habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, even the LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.
RemoveH5110 out of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and go forthH3318+H3318 out of the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and be as the he goatsH6260 beforeH6440 the flocksH6629.
For, lo, I will raiseH5782 and cause to come upH5927 against BabylonH894 an assemblyH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the northH6828 countryH776: and they shall set themselves in arrayH6186 against her; from thence she shall be takenH3920: their arrowsH2671 shall be as of a mightyH1368 expert manH7919+H7921; none shall returnH7725 in vainH7387. {expert…: or, destroyer}
And ChaldeaH3778 shall be a spoilH7998: all that spoilH7997 her shall be satisfiedH7646, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Because ye were gladH8055, because ye rejoicedH5937, O ye destroyersH8154 of mine heritageH5159, because ye are grown fatH6335 as the heiferH5697 at grassH1877+H1758, and bellowH6670 as bullsH47; {fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow…: or, neigh as steeds}
Your motherH517 shall be soreH3966 confoundedH954; she that bareH3205 you shall be ashamedH2659: behold, the hindermostH319 of the nationsH1471 shall be a wildernessH4057, a dry landH6723, and a desertH6160.
Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 it shall not be inhabitedH3427, but it shall be wholly desolateH8077: every one that goethH5674 by BabylonH894 shall be astonishedH8074, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347.
Put yourselves in arrayH6186 against BabylonH894 round aboutH5439: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, shootH3034 at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
Cut offH3772 the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894, and him that handlethH8610 the sickleH4038 in the timeH6256 of harvestH7105: for fearH6440 of the oppressingH3238 swordH2719 they shall turnH6437 every oneH376 to his peopleH5971, and they shall fleeH5127 every oneH376 to his own landH776. {sickle; or, scythe}
IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have driven him awayH5080: firstH7223 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hath devouredH398 him; and lastH314 this NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bonesH6105.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, as I have punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And I will bringH7725 IsraelH3478 againH7725 to his habitationH5116, and he shall feedH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 upon mountH2022 EphraimH669 and GileadH1568.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be sought forH1245, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardonH5545 them whom I reserveH7604.
Go upH5927 against the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, even against it, and against the inhabitantsH3427 of PekodH6489: wasteH2717 and utterly destroyH2763 afterH310 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A soundH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath openedH6605 his armouryH214, and hath brought forthH3318 the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195: for this is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.
ComeH935 against her from the utmost borderH7093, openH6605 her storehousesH3965: cast her upH5549 as heapsH6194, and destroy her utterlyH2763: let nothing of her be leftH7611. {from…: Heb. from the end} {cast…: or, tread her}
SlayH2717 all her bullocksH6499; let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874: woeH1945 unto them! for their dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, campH2583 against it round aboutH5439; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore shall her young menH970 fallH5307 in the streetsH7339, and all her menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. {most…: Heb. pride}
And the most proudH2087 shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raise him upH6965: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all round aboutH5439 him. {the…: Heb. pride}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 were oppressedH6231 togetherH3162: and all that took them captivesH7617 held them fastH2388; they refusedH3985 to let them goH7971.
Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he shall throughlyH7378 pleadH7378 their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the landH776, and disquietH7264 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.
A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men.
A swordH2719 is upon the liarsH907; and they shall doteH2973: a swordH2719 is upon her mighty menH1368; and they shall be dismayedH2865. {liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mingled peopleH6154 that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall become as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuresH214; and they shall be robbedH962.
A droughtH2721 is upon her watersH4325; and they shall be dried upH3001: for it is the landH776 of graven imagesH6456, and they are madH1984 upon their idolsH367.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desertH6728 with the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall dwellH3427 there, and the owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for everH5331; neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
As GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; so shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 therein.
Behold, a peopleH5971 shall comeH935 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 nationH1471, and manyH7227 kingsH4428 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall holdH2388 the bowH7198 and the lanceH3591: they are cruelH394, and will not shew mercyH7355: their voiceH6963 shall roarH1993 like the seaH3220, and they shall rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, every one put in arrayH6186, like a manH376 to the battleH4421, against thee, O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath heardH8085 the reportH8088 of them, and his handsH3027 waxed feebleH7503: anguishH6869 took holdH2388 of him, and pangsH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 unto the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will makeH7323 them suddenlyH7280 run awayH7323+H7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against BabylonH894; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
At the noiseH6963 of the takingH8610 of BabylonH894 the earthH776 is movedH7493, and the cryH2201 is heardH8085 among the nationsH1471.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 unto DanielH1841, and saidH560, OfH4481 a truthH7187 it is, thatH1768 your GodH426 is a GodH426 of godsH426, and a LordH4756 of kingsH4430, and a revealerH1541 of secretsH7328, seeing thou couldestH3202 revealH1541 thisH1836 secretH7328.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 madeH7236 DanielH1841 a great manH7236, and gaveH3052 him manyH7690 greatH7260 giftsH4978, and made him rulerH7981 overH5922 the wholeH3606 provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, and chiefH7229 of the governorsH5460 overH5922 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
AndG2532 uponG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 was a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 ANDG2532 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. {harlots: or, fornications}
AndG2532 he criedG2896 mightilyG2479 withG1722 a strongG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 the greatG3173 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, andG2532 is becomeG1096 the habitationG2732 of devilsG1142, andG2532 the holdG5438 of everyG3956 foulG169 spiritG4151, andG2532 a cageG5438 of everyG3956 uncleanG169 andG2532 hatefulG3404 birdG3732.
