The burdenH4853 of DamascusH1834. Behold, DamascusH1834 is taken awayH5493 from being a cityH5892, and it shall be a ruinousH4654 heapH4596.
The citiesH5892 of AroerH6177 are forsakenH5800: they shall be for flocksH5739, which shall lie downH7257, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
The fortressH4013 also shall ceaseH7673 from EphraimH669, and the kingdomH4467 from DamascusH1834, and the remnantH7605 of SyriaH758: they shall be as the gloryH3519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And in that dayH3117 it shall come to pass, that the gloryH3519 of JacobH3290 shall be made thinH1809, and the fatnessH4924 of his fleshH1320 shall wax leanH7329.
And it shall be as when the harvestmanH7105 gatherethH622 the cornH7054, and reapethH7114 the earsH7641 with his armH2220; and it shall be as he that gatherethH3950 earsH7641 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.
Yet gleaning grapesH5955 shall be leftH7604 in it, as the shakingH5363 of an olive treeH2132, twoH8147 or threeH7969 berriesH1620 in the topH7218 of the uppermost boughH534, fourH702 or fiveH2568 in the outmost fruitfulH6509 branchesH5585 thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
At that dayH3117 shall a manH120 lookH8159 to his MakerH6213, and his eyesH5869 shall have respectH7200 to the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
And he shall not lookH8159 to the altarsH4196, the workH4639 of his handsH3027, neither shall respectH7200 that which his fingersH676 have madeH6213, either the grovesH842, or the imagesH2553. {images: or, sun images}
In that dayH3117 shall his strongH4581 citiesH5892 be as a forsakenH5800 boughH2793, and an uppermost branchH534, which they leftH5800 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and there shall be desolationH8077.
Because thou hast forgottenH7911 the GodH430 of thy salvationH3468, and hast not been mindfulH2142 of the rockH6697 of thy strengthH4581, therefore shalt thou plantH5193 pleasantH5282 plantsH5194, and shalt setH2232 it with strangeH2114 slipsH2156:
In the dayH3117 shalt thou make thy plantH5194 to growH7735, and in the morningH1242 shalt thou make thy seedH2233 to flourishH6524: but the harvestH7105 shall be a heapH5067 in the dayH3117 of griefH2470 and of desperateH605 sorrowH3511. {a heap…: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}
WoeH1945 to the multitudeH1995 of manyH7227 peopleH5971, which make a noiseH1993 like the noiseH1993 of the seasH3220; and to the rushingH7588 of nationsH3816, that make a rushing like the rushingH7582 of mightyH3524 watersH4325! {multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}
The nationsH3816 shall rushH7582 like the rushingH7588 of manyH7227 watersH4325: but God shall rebukeH1605 them, and they shall fleeH5127 far offH4801, and shall be chasedH7291 as the chaffH4671 of the mountainsH2022 beforeH6440 the windH7307, and like a rolling thingH1534 beforeH6440 the whirlwindH5492. {a rolling…: or, thistledown}
And behold at eveningtideH6256+H6153 troubleH1091; and before the morningH1242 he is not. This is the portionH2506 of them that spoilH8154 us, and the lotH1486 of them that robH962 us.

For before the childH5288 shall knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896, the landH127 that thou abhorrestH6973 shall beH6440 forsakenH5800 of bothH8147 her kingsH4428.
WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH1348, to the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, whose gloriousH6643 beautyH8597 is a fadingH5034 flowerH6731, which are on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleysH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986 with wineH3196! {overcome: Heb. broken}
Behold, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strong oneH533, which as a tempestH2230 of hailH1259 and a destroyingH6986 stormH8178, as a floodH2230 of mightyH3524 watersH4325 overflowingH7857, shall cast downH3240 to the earthH776 with the handH3027.
The crownH5850 of prideH1348, the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, shall be troddenH7429 under feetH7272: {under…: Heb. with feet}
And the gloriousH6643 beautyH8597, which is on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleyH1516, shall be a fadingH5034 flowerH6733, and as the hasty fruitH1061 before the summerH7019; which when he that lookethH7200 upon it seethH7200, while it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH1104. {eateth: Heb. swalloweth}
For before the childH5288 shall have knowledgeH3045 to cryH7121, My fatherH1, and my motherH517, the richesH2428 of DamascusH1834 and the spoilH7998 of SamariaH8111 shall be taken awayH5375 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. {the riches…: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc}

When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 saw his woundH4205, then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the AssyrianH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH3377+H7378: yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, nor cureH1455 you of your woundH4205. {king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead}
For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.
IsraelH3478 is swallowed upH1104: now shall they be among the GentilesH1471 as a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656.
EphraimH669 is smittenH5221, their rootH8328 is dried upH3001, they shall bearH6213 no fruitH6529: yea, though they bring forthH3205, yet will I slayH4191 even the belovedH4261 fruit of their wombH990. {the…: Heb. the desires}

Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:
I will meetH6298 them as a bearH1677 that is bereavedH7909 of her whelps, and will rendH7167 the caulH5458 of their heartH3820, and there will I devourH398 them like a lionH3833: the wildH7704 beastH2416 shall tearH1234 them. {wild…: Heb. beast of the field}

Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in unto the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: {maid: or, young woman}
And they lay themselves downH5186 upon clothesH899 laid to pledgeH2254 byH681 every altarH4196, and they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of the condemnedH6064 in the houseH1004 of their godH430. {the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}
Yet destroyedH8045 I the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whose heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from aboveH4605, and his rootsH8328 from beneath.
PublishH8085 in the palacesH759 at AshdodH795, and in the palacesH759 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559, AssembleH622 yourselves upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111, and beholdH7200 the greatH7227 tumultsH4103 in the midstH7130 thereof, and the oppressedH6217 in the midstH8432 thereof. {oppressed: or, oppressions}

Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; An adversaryH6862 there shall be even round aboutH5439 the landH776; and he shall bring downH3381 thy strengthH5797 from thee, and thy palacesH759 shall be spoiledH962.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; As the shepherdH7462 taketh outH5337 of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legsH3767, or a pieceH915 of an earH241; so shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be taken outH5337 that dwellH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a bedH4296, and in DamascusH1833 in a couchH6210. {taketh: Heb. delivereth} {in Damascus…: or, on the bed's feet}
HearH8085 ye, and testifyH5749 in the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, the GodH430 of hostsH6635,
That in the dayH3117 that I shall visitH6485 the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 upon him I will also visitH6485 the altarsH4196 of BethelH1008: and the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 shall be cut offH1438, and fallH5307 to the groundH776. {visit: or, punish Israel for}
And I will smiteH5221 the winterH2779 houseH1004 with the summerH7019 houseH1004; and the housesH1004 of ivoryH8127 shall perishH6, and the greatH7227 housesH1004 shall have an endH5486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Have ye offeredH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
But ye have borneH5375 the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your godH430, which ye madeH6213 to yourselves. {the tabernacle…: or, Siccuth your king}
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834, saithH559 the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is The GodH430 of hostsH6635.
Therefore now shall they go captiveH1540 with the firstH7218 that go captiveH1540, and the banquetH4797 of them that stretchedH5628 themselves shall be removedH5493.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 the GodH430 of hostsH6635, I abhorH8374 the excellencyH1347 of JacobH3290, and hateH8130 his palacesH759: therefore will I deliver upH5462 the cityH5892 with all that is thereinH4393. {that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
And it shall come to pass, if there remainH3498 tenH6235 menH582 in oneH259 houseH1004, that they shall dieH4191.
And a man's uncleH1730 shall take him upH5375, and he that burnethH5635 him, to bring outH3318 the bonesH6106 out of the houseH1004, and shall sayH559 unto him that is by the sidesH3411 of the houseH1004, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall sayH559, NoH657. Then shall he sayH559, Hold thy tongueH2013: for we may not make mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. {we…: or, they will not, or, have not}
For, behold, the LORDH3068 commandethH6680, and he will smiteH5221 the greatH1419 houseH1004 with breachesH7447, and the littleH6996 houseH1004 with cleftsH1233. {breaches: or, droppings}
They that swearH7650 by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559, Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307, and never rise upH6965 again. {manner: Heb. way}
I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 upon the altarH4196: and he saidH559, SmiteH5221 the lintel of the doorH3730, that the postsH5592 may shakeH7493: and cutH1214 them in the headH7218, all of them; and I will slayH2026 the lastH319 of them with the swordH2719: he that fleethH5127 of them shall not flee awayH5127, and he that escapethH6412 of them shall not be deliveredH4422. {lintel: or, chapiter, or, knop} {cut…: or, wound them}
Though they digH2864 into hellH7585, thence shall mine handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, thence will I bring them downH3381:
And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, thence will I commandH6680 the serpentH5175, and he shall biteH5391 them:
And though they goH3212 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, thence will I commandH6680 the swordH2719, and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896.
And the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 is he that touchethH5060 the landH776, and it shall meltH4127, and all that dwellH3427 therein shall mournH56: and it shall rise upH5927 wholly like a floodH2975; and shall be drownedH8257, as by the floodH2975 of EgyptH4714.
It is he that buildethH1129 his storiesH4609 in the heavenH8064, and hath foundedH3245 his troopH92 in the earthH776; he that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034. {stories: or, spheres: Heb. ascensions} {troop: or, bundle}
Are ye not as childrenH1121 of the EthiopiansH3569 unto me, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Have not I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714? and the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731, and the SyriansH758 from KirH7024?
Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; savingH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as corn is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}
All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, which sayH559, The evilH7451 shall not overtakeH5066 nor preventH6923 us.
And the mountainsH2022 shall be moltenH4549 under him, and the valleysH6010 shall be cleftH1234, as waxH1749 beforeH6440 the fireH784, and as the watersH4325 that are pouredH5064 down a steep placeH4174. {a steep…: Heb. a descent}
For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is all this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. What is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it not SamariaH8111? and what are the high placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they not JerusalemH3389?
Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as plantingsH4302 of a vineyardH3754: and I will pour downH5064 the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will discoverH1540 the foundationsH3247 thereof.
And all the graven imagesH6456 thereof shall be beaten to piecesH3807, and all the hiresH868 thereof shall be burnedH8313 with the fireH784, and all the idolsH6091 thereof will I layH7760 desolateH8077: for she gatheredH6908 it of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181, and they shall returnH7725 to the hireH868 of an harlotH2181.
Therefore I will wailH5594 and howlH3213, I will goH3212 strippedH7758+H7758 and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the dragonsH8577, and mourningH60 as the owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: Heb. daughters of the owl}
For her woundH4347 is incurableH605; for it is comeH935 unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060 unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389. {her…: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}
