RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. {they grow: Heb. they go on}
But thou, O LORDH3068, knowestH3045 me: thou hast seenH7200 me, and triedH974 mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942 them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028. {toward…: Heb. with thee}
How long shall the landH776 mournH56, and the herbsH6212 of every fieldH7704 witherH3001, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein? the beastsH929 are consumedH5595, and the birdsH5775; because they saidH559, He shall not seeH7200 our last endH319.
If thou hast runH7323 with the footmenH7273, and they have weariedH3811 thee, then how canst thou contendH8474 with horsesH5483? and if in the landH776 of peaceH7965, wherein thou trustedstH982, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou doH6213 in the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383?
For even thy brethrenH251, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, even they have dealt treacherouslyH898 with thee; yea, they have calledH7121 a multitudeH4392 afterH310 thee: believeH539 them not, though they speakH1696 fair wordsH2896 unto thee. {they have called…: or, they cried after thee fully} {fair…: Heb. good things}
I have forsakenH5800 mine houseH1004, I have leftH5203 mine heritageH5159; I have givenH5414 the dearly belovedH3033 of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341. {the dearly…: Heb. the love}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293; it crieth outH5414+H6963 against me: therefore have I hatedH8130 it. {crieth…: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a speckledH6641 birdH5861, the birdsH5861 round aboutH5439 are against her; comeH3212 ye, assembleH622 all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, comeH857 to devourH402. {speckled: or, taloned} {come to: or, cause them to come to}
ManyH7227 pastorsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under footH947, they have madeH5414 my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. {pleasant…: Heb. portion of desire}
They have madeH7760 it desolateH8076, and being desolateH8077 it mournethH56 unto me; the whole landH776 is made desolateH8074, because no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820.
The spoilersH7703 are comeH935 upon all high placesH8205 through the wildernessH4057: for the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 shall devourH398 from the one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the other endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 shall have peaceH7965.
They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, but shall reapH7114 thornsH6975: they have put themselves to painH2470, but shall not profitH3276: and they shall be ashamedH954 of your revenuesH8393 because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. {they shall: or, ye shall}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 against all mine evilH7451 neighboursH7934, that touchH5060 the inheritanceH5159 which I have caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157; Behold, I will pluck them outH5428 of their landH127, and pluck outH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from amongH8432 them.
And it shall come to pass, afterH310 that I have plucked them outH5428 I will returnH7725, and have compassionH7355 on them, and will bring them againH7725, every manH376 to his heritageH5159, and every manH376 to his landH776.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligentlyH3925 learnH3925 the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650 by my nameH8034, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; as they taughtH3925 my peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971.
But if they will not obeyH8085, I will utterlyH5428 pluck upH5428 and destroyH6 that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

Make ye him drunkenH7937: for he magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068: MoabH4124 also shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814.
IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068, and the firstfruitsH7225 of his increaseH8393: all that devourH398 him shall offendH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Against MoabH4124 thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is spoiledH7703: KiriathaimH7156 is confoundedH3001 and takenH3920: MisgabH4869 is confoundedH3001 and dismayedH2865. {Misgab: or, the high place}
There shall be no more praiseH8416 of MoabH4124: in HeshbonH2809 they have devisedH2803 evilH7451 against it; comeH3212, and let us cut it offH3772 from being a nationH1471. Also thou shalt be cut downH1826, O MadmenH4086; the swordH2719 shall pursueH3212 theeH310. {be cut…: or, be brought to silence} {pursue…: Heb. go after thee}
A voiceH6963 of cryingH6818 shall be from HoronaimH2773, spoilingH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
MoabH4124 is destroyedH7665; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085.
For in the going upH4608 of LuhithH3872 continualH1065 weepingH1065 shall go upH5927; for in the going downH4174 of HoronaimH2773 the enemiesH6862 have heardH8085 a cryH6818 of destructionH7667. {continual…: Heb. weeping with weeping}
FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heathH6176 in the wildernessH4057. {the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou shalt also be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473 with his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.
And the spoilerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422: the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH559.
GiveH5414 wingsH6731 unto MoabH4124, that it may fleeH5323 and get awayH3318: for the citiesH5892 thereof shall be desolateH8047, without any to dwellH3427 thereinH2004.
CursedH779 be he that doethH6213 the workH4399 of the LORDH3068 deceitfullyH7423, and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818. {deceitfully: or, negligently}
MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainedH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171. {remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him wanderersH6808, that shall cause him to wanderH6808, and shall emptyH7324 his vesselsH3627, and breakH5310 their bottlesH5035.
And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of BethelH1008 their confidenceH4009.
How sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 and strongH2428 menH582 for the warH4421?
MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703, and gone upH5927 out of her citiesH5892, and his chosenH4005 young menH970 are gone downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {his…: Heb. the choice of}
The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and his afflictionH7451 hastethH4116 fastH3966.
All ye that are aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, and the beautifulH8597 rodH4731!
Thou daughterH1323 that dost inhabitH3427 DibonH1769, come downH3381 from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the spoilerH7703 of MoabH4124 shall comeH5927 upon thee, and he shall destroyH7843 thy strong holdsH4013.
O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and espyH6822; askH7592 him that fleethH5127, and her that escapethH4422, and sayH559, What is doneH1961? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
MoabH4124 is confoundedH3001; for it is broken downH2865: howlH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it in ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703,
And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 countryH776; upon HolonH2473, and upon JahazahH3096, and upon MephaathH4158,
And upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon BethdiblathaimH1015,
And upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon BethgamulH1014, and upon BethmeonH1010,
And upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138.
The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Make ye him drunkenH7937: for he magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068: MoabH4124 also shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814.
For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for sinceH1767 thou spakestH1697 of him, thou skippedstH5110 for joy. {skippedst…: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwellH3427 in MoabH4124, leaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH7931 in the rockH5553, and be like the doveH3123 that maketh her nestH7077 in the sidesH5676 of the hole'sH6354 mouthH6310.
We have heardH8085 the prideH1347 of MoabH4124, (he is exceedingH3966 proudH1343) his loftinessH1363, and his arrogancyH1346, and his prideH1347, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820.
I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; but it shall not be so; his liesH907 shall not so effectH6213 it. {his lies…: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howlH3213 for MoabH4124, and I will cry outH2199 for all MoabH4124; mine heart shall mournH1897 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025.
O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643, I will weepH1058 for thee with the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270: thy plantsH5189 are gone overH5674 the seaH3220, they reachH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: the spoilerH7703 is fallenH5307 upon thy summer fruitsH7019 and upon thy vintageH1210.
And joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 is takenH622 from the plentiful fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to failH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; their shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959.
From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, and even unto JahazH3096, have they utteredH5414 their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, as an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for the watersH4325 also of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, him that offerethH5927 in the high placesH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
Therefore mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025: because the richesH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 are perishedH6.
For every headH7218 shall be baldH7144, and every beardH2206 clippedH1639: upon all the handsH3027 shall be cuttingsH1417, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242. {clipped: Heb. diminished}
There shall be lamentationH4553 generally upon all the housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124, and in the streetsH7339 thereof: for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They shall howlH3213, saying, How is it broken downH2865! how hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6203 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 be a derisionH7814 and a dismayingH4288 to all them aboutH5439 him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124.
KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strong holdsH4679 are surprisedH8610, and the mighty men'sH1368 heartsH3820 in MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887. {Kerioth: or, The cities}
And MoabH4124 shall be destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971, because he hath magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068.
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, shall be upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
He that fleethH5127+H5211 fromH6440 the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that getteth upH5927 out of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for I will bringH935 upon it, even upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They that fledH5127 stoodH5975 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 because of the forceH3581: but a fireH784 shall come forthH3318 out of HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midstH996 of SihonH5511, and shall devourH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the headH6936 of the tumultuousH7588 onesH1121. {tumultuous…: Heb. children of noise}
WoeH188 be unto thee, O MoabH4124! the peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645 perishethH6: for thy sonsH1121 are takenH3947 captivesH7628, and thy daughtersH1323 captivesH7633. {captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walkH3212 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I have given for an inheritanceH5157 unto your fathersH1. {with: or, to} {given…: or, caused your fathers to possess}
For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for sinceH1767 thou spakestH1697 of him, thou skippedstH5110 for joy. {skippedst…: or, movedst thyself}
Concerning the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Hath IsraelH3478 no sonsH1121? hath he no heirH3423? why then doth their kingH4428 inheritH3423 GadH1410, and his peopleH5971 dwellH3427 in his citiesH5892? {Concerning: or, Against} {their king: or, Melcom}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
Behold, I will gather them outH6908 of all countriesH776, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110; and I will bring them againH7725 unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safelyH983:
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.
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against mountH2022 SeirH8165, and prophesyH5012 against it,
And sayH559 unto it, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, I am against thee, and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 against thee, and I will makeH5414 thee mostH4923 desolateH8077. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
I will layH7760 thy citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and thou shalt be desolateH8077, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast had a perpetualH5769 hatredH342, and hast shedH5064 the blood of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their calamityH343, in the timeH6256 that their iniquityH5771 had an endH7093: {perpetual…: or, hatred of old} {shed…: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will prepareH6213 thee unto bloodH1818, and bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee: sithH518 thou hast not hatedH8130 bloodH1818, even bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee.
Thus will I makeH5414 mountH2022 SeirH8165 mostH8077 desolateH8077, and cut offH3772 from it him that passeth outH5674 and him that returnethH7725. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
And I will fillH4390 his mountainsH2022 with his slainH2491 men: in thy hillsH1389, and in thy valleysH1516, and in all thy riversH650, shall they fallH5307 that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719.
I will makeH5414 thee perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077, and thy citiesH5892 shall not returnH7725+H3427: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will even doH6213 according to thine angerH639, and according to thine envyH7068 which thou hast usedH6213 out of thy hatredH8135 against them; and I will make myself knownH3045 among them, when I have judgedH8199 thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
Thus with your mouthH6310 ye have boastedH1431 against me, and have multipliedH6280 your wordsH1697 against me: I have heardH8085 them. {boasted: Heb. magnified}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When the whole earthH776 rejoicethH8055, I will makeH6213 thee desolateH8077.
As thou didst rejoiceH8057 at the inheritanceH5159 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, because it was desolateH8074, so will I doH6213 unto thee: thou shalt be desolateH8077, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, and all IdumeaH123, even all of it: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
That then the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will turnH7725 thy captivityH7622, and have compassionH7355 upon thee, and will returnH7725 and gatherH6908 thee from all the nationsH5971, whither the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath scatteredH6327 thee.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshingfloorH1637, it is timeH6256 to threshH1869 her: yet a little whileH4592, and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall comeH935. {it is…: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 be upon BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 sayH559; and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559. {The violence…: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
SaveH3467 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, and gatherH6908 us from among the heathenH1471, to give thanksH3034 unto thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and to triumphH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {spoken…: Heb. magnified thy mouth}
Thou shouldest not have enteredH935 into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on their afflictionH7451 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have laidH7971 hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; {substance: or, forces}
Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {delivered up: or, shut up}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 upon all the heathenH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee: thy rewardH1576 shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218.
For as ye have drunkH8354 upon my holyH6944 mountainH2022, so shall all the heathenH1471 drinkH8354 continuallyH8548, yea, they shall drinkH8354, and they shall swallow downH3886, and they shall be as though they had notH3808 been. {swallow…: or, sup up}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 will roarH7580 from ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the habitationsH4999 of the shepherdsH7462 shall mournH56, and the topH7218 of CarmelH3760 shall witherH3001.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with threshing instrumentsH2742 of ironH1270: {and…: or, yea, for four} {turn…: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 into the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BenhadadH1130.
I will breakH7665 also the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from the plainH1237 of AvenH206, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from the houseH1004 of EdenH5731+H1040: and the peopleH5971 of SyriaH758 shall go into captivityH1540 unto KirH7024, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {the plain…: or, Bikathaven} {the house…: or, Betheden}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried away captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546, to deliver them upH5462 to EdomH123: {away captive…: or, them away with an entire}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof:
And I will cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from AshkelonH831, and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 against EkronH6138: and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyrusH6865, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they delivered upH5462 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546 to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherlyH251 covenantH1285: {the brotherly…: Heb. the covenant of brethren}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyrusH6865, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast offH7843 all pityH7356, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetuallyH5703, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5331: {did cast…: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon TemanH8487, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BozrahH1224.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have ripped upH1234 the women with childH2030 of GileadH1568, that they might enlargeH7337 their borderH1366: {ripped…: or, divided the mountains}
But I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of RabbahH7237, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof, with shoutingH8643 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, with a tempestH5591 in the dayH3117 of the whirlwindH5492:
And their kingH4428 shall goH1980 into captivityH1473, he and his princesH8269 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107, and they helpedH5826 forward the afflictionH7451.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When I shall have gatheredH6908 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 from the peopleH5971 among whom they are scatteredH6327, and shall be sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, then shall they dwellH3427 in their landH127 that I have givenH5414 to my servantH5650 JacobH3290.
I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778 my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366.
Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4379+H4417, and a perpetualH5704+H5769 desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962 them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 them.
This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778 and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AfterH310 the gloryH3519 hath he sentH7971 me unto the nationsH1471 which spoiledH7997 you: for he that touchethH5060 you touchethH5060 the appleH892 of his eyeH5869.
As a shepherdH7462 seeketh outH1243 his flockH5739 in the dayH3117 that he is amongH8432 his sheepH6629 that are scatteredH6567; so will I seek outH1239 my sheepH6629, and will deliverH5337 them out of all placesH4725 where they have been scatteredH6327 in the cloudyH6051 and darkH6205 dayH3117. {As…: Heb. According to the seeking}
Behold, I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cupH5592 of tremblingH7478 unto all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, when they shall be in the siegeH4692 both against JudahH3063 and against JerusalemH3389. {trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will smiteH5221 every horseH5483 with astonishmentH8541, and his riderH7392 with madnessH7697: and I will openH6491 mine eyesH5869 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will smiteH5221 every horseH5483 of the peopleH5971 with blindnessH5788.
And I will bring them outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776, and will bringH935 them to their own landH127, and feedH7462 them upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 by the riversH650, and in all the inhabited placesH4186 of the countryH776.
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
And sayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the heathenH1471, whither they be goneH1980, and will gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439, and bringH935 them into their own landH127:
When I have brought them againH7725 from the peopleH5971, and gatheredH6908 them out of their enemies'H341 landsH776, and am sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471;
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which caused them to be led into captivityH1540 among the heathenH1471: but I have gatheredH3664 them unto their own landH127, and have leftH3498 none of them any more there. {which…: Heb. by my causing of them, etc}
Then shall the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and appointH7760 themselves oneH259 headH7218, and they shall come upH5927 out of the landH776: for greatH1419 shall be the dayH3117 of JezreelH3157.
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Behold, at that timeH6256 I will undoH6213 all that afflictH6031 thee: and I will saveH3467 her that haltethH6760, and gatherH6908 her that was driven outH5080; and I will getH7760 them praiseH8416 and fameH8034 in every landH776 where they have been put to shameH1322. {get…: Heb. set them for a praise} {where…: Heb. of their shame}
At that timeH6256 will I bringH935 you again, even in the timeH6256 that I gatherH6908 you: for I will makeH5414 you a nameH8034 and a praiseH8416 among all peopleH5971 of the earthH776, when I turn backH7725 your captivityH7622 before your eyesH5869, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427 them; for I have mercyH7355 upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 them.
And they of EphraimH669 shall be like a mightyH1368 man, and their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH8055 as through wineH3196: yea, their childrenH1121 shall seeH7200 it, and be gladH8055; their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068.
I will hissH8319 for them, and gatherH6908 them; for I have redeemedH6299 them: and they shall increaseH7235 as they have increasedH7235.
And I will sowH2232 them among the peopleH5971: and they shall rememberH2142 me in far countriesH4801; and they shall liveH2421 with their childrenH1121, and turn againH7725.
I will bring them againH7725 also out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and gatherH6908 them out of AssyriaH804; and I will bringH935 them into the landH776 of GileadH1568 and LebanonH3844; and place shall not be foundH4672 for them.
And he shall pass throughH5674 the seaH3220 with afflictionH6869, and shall smiteH5221 the wavesH1530 in the seaH3220, and all the deepsH4688 of the riverH2975 shall dry upH3001: and the prideH1347 of AssyriaH804 shall be brought downH3381, and the sceptreH7626 of EgyptH4714 shall depart awayH5493.
And I will strengthenH1396 them in the LORDH3068; and they shall walk up and downH1980 in his nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
