Nevertheless the dimnessH4155 shall not be such as was in her vexationH4164, whenH6256 at the firstH7223 he lightly afflictedH7043 the landH776 of ZebulunH2074 and the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and afterwardH314 did more grievously afflictH3513 her by the wayH1870 of the seaH3220, beyondH5676 JordanH3383, in GalileeH1551 of the nationsH1471. {of the nations: or, populous}
The peopleH5971 that walkedH1980 in darknessH2822 have seenH7200 a greatH1419 lightH216: they that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the shadow of deathH6757, upon them hath the lightH216 shinedH5050.
Thou hast multipliedH7235 the nationH1471, and not increasedH1431 the joyH8057: they joyH8055 beforeH6440 thee according to the joyH8057 in harvestH7105, and as men rejoiceH1523 when they divideH2505 the spoilH7998. {not: or, to him}
For thou hast brokenH2865 the yokeH5923 of his burdenH5448, and the staffH4294 of his shoulderH7926, the rodH7626 of his oppressorH5065, as in the dayH3117 of MidianH4080. {For…: or, When thou brakest}
For every battleH5430 of the warriorH5431 is with confused noiseH7494, and garmentsH8071 rolledH1556 in bloodH1818; but this shall be with burningH8316 and fuelH3980 of fireH784. {For…: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etc} {but…: or, and it was, etc} {fuel: Heb. meat}
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
The LordH136 sentH7971 a wordH1697 into JacobH3290, and it hath lightedH5307 upon IsraelH3478.
And all the peopleH5971 shall knowH3045, even EphraimH669 and the inhabitantH3427 of SamariaH8111, that sayH559 in the prideH1346 and stoutnessH1433 of heartH3824,
The bricksH3843 are fallen downH5307, but we will buildH1129 with hewn stonesH1496: the sycomoresH8256 are cut downH1438, but we will changeH2498 them into cedarsH730.
Therefore the LORDH3068 shall set upH7682 the adversariesH6862 of RezinH7526 against him, and joinH5526 his enemiesH341 togetherH5526; {join: Heb. mingle}
The SyriansH758 beforeH6924, and the PhilistinesH6430 behindH268; and they shall devourH398 IsraelH3478 with open mouthH6310. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186. {open: Heb. whole}
For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725 not unto him that smitethH5221 them, neither do they seekH1875 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Therefore the LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, branchH3712 and rushH100, in oneH259 dayH3117.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104. {the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
Therefore the LordH136 shall have no joyH8055 in their young menH970, neither shall have mercyH7355 on their fatherlessH3490 and widowsH490: for every one is an hypocriteH2611 and an evildoerH7489, and every mouthH6310 speakethH1696 follyH5039. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186. {folly: or, villany}
For wickednessH7564 burnethH1197 as the fireH784: it shall devourH398 the briersH8068 and thornsH7898, and shall kindleH3341 in the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293, and they shall mount upH55 like the lifting upH1348 of smokeH6227.
Through the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the landH776 darkenedH6272, and the peopleH5971 shall be as the fuelH3980 of the fireH784: no manH376 shall spareH2550 his brotherH251. {fuel: Heb. meat}
And he shall snatchH1504 on the right handH3225, and be hungryH7457; and he shall eatH398 on the left handH8040, and they shall not be satisfiedH7646: they shall eatH398 every manH376 the fleshH1320 of his own armH2220: {snatch: Heb cut}
ManassehH4519, EphraimH669; and EphraimH669, ManassehH4519: and they togetherH3162 shall be against JudahH3063. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.
Querverweise zu Jesaja 9,15 Jes 9,15
And the peopleH5971 shall be oppressedH5065, every oneH376 by anotherH376, and every oneH376 by his neighbourH7453: the childH5288 shall behave himself proudlyH7292 against the ancientH2205, and the baseH7034 against the honourableH3513.
JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760 to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding placeH5643.
Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772. {honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine}
For the LORDH3068 hath poured outH5258 upon you the spiritH7307 of deep sleepH8639, and hath closedH6105 your eyesH5869: the prophetsH5030 and your rulersH7218, the seersH2374 hath he coveredH3680. {rulers: Heb. heads}
And he saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there is in this cityH5892 a manH376 of GodH430, and he is an honourableH3513 manH376; all that he saithH1696 comethH935 surely to passH935: now let us goH3212 thither; peradventure he can shewH5046 us our wayH1870 that we should goH1980.
He saidH559 unto him, I am a prophetH5030 also as thou art; and an angelH4397 spakeH1696 unto me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Bring him backH7725 with thee into thine houseH1004, that he may eatH398 breadH3899 and drinkH8354 waterH4325. But he liedH3584 unto him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
But ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 went nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which wayH335 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034: I sentH7971 them not, neither have I commandedH6680 them, neither spakeH1696 unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto you a falseH8267 visionH2377 and divinationH7081, and a thing of noughtH457+H434, and the deceitH8649 of their heartH3820.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 in my nameH8034, and I sentH7971 them not, yet they sayH559, SwordH2719 and famineH7458 shall not be in this landH776; By swordH2719 and famineH7458 shall those prophetsH5030 be consumedH8552.
Mine heartH3820 withinH7130 me is brokenH7665 because of the prophetsH5030; all my bonesH6106 shakeH7363; I am like a drunkenH7910 manH376, and like a manH1397 whom wineH3196 hath overcomeH5674, becauseH6440 of the LORDH3068, and because of the wordsH1697 of his holinessH6944.
I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. {an…: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
I have heardH8085 what the prophetsH5030 saidH559, that prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492.
How long shall this beH3426 in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 liesH8267? yea, they are prophetsH5030 of the deceitH8649 of their own heartH3820;
Which thinkH2803 to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tellH5608 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, as their fathersH1 have forgottenH7911 my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.
Therefore hearkenH8085 not ye to your prophetsH5030, nor to your divinersH7080, nor to your dreamersH2472, nor to your enchantersH6049, nor to your sorcerersH3786, which speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: {dreamers: Heb. dreams}
For they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you, to remove you farH7368 from your landH127; and that I should drive you outH5080, and ye should perishH6.
Therefore hearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you.
For I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, yet they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 in my nameH8034; that I might drive you outH5080, and that ye might perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you. {a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly}
Then saidH559 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 unto HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030, HearH8085 now, HananiahH2608; The LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 thee; but thou makest this peopleH5971 to trustH982 in a lieH8267.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will castH7971 thee from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127: this yearH8141 thou shalt dieH4191, because thou hast taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, of AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, which prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034; Behold, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869;
And of them shall be taken upH3947 a curseH7045 by all the captivityH1546 of JudahH3063 which are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 makeH7760 thee like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 roastedH7033 in the fireH784;
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 that prophesyH5012, and sayH559 thou unto them that prophesyH5030 out of their own heartsH3820, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; {that prophesy out…: Heb. that are prophets out of their own hearts}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH1945 unto the foolishH5036 prophetsH5030, that followH1980+H310 their own spiritH7307, and have seenH7200 nothing! {follow: Heb. walk after} {and…: or, and things which they have not seen}
O IsraelH3478, thy prophetsH5030 are like the foxesH7776 in the desertsH2723.
Ye have not gone upH5927 into the gapsH6556, neither made upH1443 the hedgeH1447 for the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to standH5975 in the battleH4421 in the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068. {gaps: or, breaches} {made…: Heb. hedged the hedge}
They have seenH2372 vanityH7723 and lyingH3577 divinationH7081, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 saithH5002: and the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 them: and they have made others to hopeH3176 that they would confirmH6965 the wordH1697.
Have ye not seenH2372 a vainH7723 visionH4236, and have ye not spokenH1696 a lyingH3577 divinationH4738, whereas ye sayH559, The LORDH3068 saithH5002 it; albeit I have not spokenH559?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have spokenH1696 vanityH7723, and seenH2372 liesH3577, therefore, behold, I am against you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And mine handH3027 shall be upon the prophetsH5030 that seeH2374 vanityH7723, and that divineH7080 liesH3577: they shall not be in the assemblyH5475 of my peopleH5971, neither shall they be writtenH3789 in the writingH3791 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, neither shall they enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069. {assembly: or, secret, or, counsel}
Because, even because they have seducedH2937 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, PeaceH7965; and there was no peaceH7965; and one built upH1129 a wallH2434, and, loH2009, others daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter: {a wall: or, a slight wall}
SayH559 unto them which daubH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, that it shall fallH5307: there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653; and yeH859, O great hailstonesH417+H68, shall fallH5307; and a stormyH5591 windH7307 shall rendH1234 it.
Lo, when the wallH7023 is fallenH5307, shall it not be saidH559 unto you, Where is the daubingH2915 wherewith ye have daubedH2902 it?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even rendH1234 it with a stormyH5591 windH7307 in my furyH2534; and there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653 in mine angerH639, and great hailstonesH417+H68 in my furyH2534 to consumeH3617 it.
So will I break downH2040 the wallH7023 that ye have daubedH2902 with untemperedH8602 morter, and bringH5060 it down to the groundH776, so that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discoveredH1540, and it shall fallH5307, and ye shall be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 thereof: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus will I accomplishH3615 my wrathH2534 upon the wallH7023, and upon them that have daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, and will sayH559 unto you, The wallH7023 is no more, neither they that daubedH2902 it;
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And will ye polluteH2490 me among my peopleH5971 for handfulsH8168 of barleyH8184 and for piecesH6595 of breadH3899, to slayH4191 the soulsH5315 that should not dieH4191, and to saveH2421 the soulsH5315 aliveH2421 that should not liveH2421, by your lyingH3576 to my peopleH5971 that hearH8085 your liesH3577?
Because with liesH8267 ye have made the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 sadH3512, whom I have not made sadH3510; and strengthenedH2388 the handsH3027 of the wickedH7451, that he should not returnH7725 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, by promising him lifeH2421: {by…: or, that I should save his life: Heb. by quickening him}
The watchmanH6822 of EphraimH669 was with my GodH430: but the prophetH5030 is a snareH6341 of a fowlerH3352 in all his waysH1870, and hatredH4895 in the houseH1004 of his GodH430. {in the: or, against the}
Therefore have I also madeH5414 you contemptibleH959 and baseH8217 before all the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have been partialH5375+H6440 in the lawH8451. {have been…: or, lifted up the face against: Heb. accepted faces}
BewareG1161+G4337 ofG575 false prophetsG5578, whichG3748 comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 sheep'sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1526 raveningG727 wolvesG3074.
ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false ChristsG5580, andG2532 false prophetsG5578, andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059; insomuch thatG5620, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, they shall deceiveG4105 the veryG2532 electG1588.
ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
AndG2532 noG3756 marvelG2298; forG1063 SatanG4567 himselfG846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG32 of lightG5457.
ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1499 hisG846 ministersG1249 alsoG1499 be transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG5056 shall beG2071 accordingG2596 to theirG846 worksG2041.
ButG235 thoughG2532+G1437 weG2249, orG2228 an angelG32 fromG1537 heavenG3772, preach any other gospelG2097 unto youG5213 thanG3844 that whichG3739 we have preachedG2097 unto youG5213, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
AsG5613 we said beforeG4280, soG2532 say IG3004 nowG737 againG3825, If anyG1536 man preachG2097 any otherG3844 gospelG2097 unto youG5209 thanG3844 thatG3739 ye have receivedG3880, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
PreachG2784 the wordG3056; be instantG2186 in seasonG2122, out of seasonG171; reproveG1651, rebukeG2008, exhortG3870 withG1722 allG3956 longsufferingG3115 andG2532 doctrineG1322.
ForG1063 the timeG2540 will comeG2071 whenG3753 they willG430 notG3756 endureG430 soundG5198 doctrineG1319; butG235 afterG2596 their ownG2398 lustsG1939 shall they heapG2002 to themselvesG1438 teachersG1320, having itchingG2833 earsG189;
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
