And it came to pass the same yearH8141, in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, and in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, that HananiahH2608 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809 the prophetH5030, which was of GibeonH1391, spakeH559 unto me in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548 and of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Within two fullH3117 yearsH8141 will I bring againH7725 into this placeH4725 all the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 took awayH3947 from this placeH4725, and carriedH935 them to BabylonH894: {two…: Heb. two years of days}
And I will bring againH7725 to this placeH4725 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, with all the captivesH1546 of JudahH3063, that wentH935 into BabylonH894, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. {captives: Heb. captivity}
Then the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548, and in the presenceH5869 of all the peopleH5971 that stoodH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
Even the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so: the LORDH3068 performH6965 thy wordsH1697 which thou hast prophesiedH5012, to bring againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and all that is carried away captiveH1473, from BabylonH894 into this placeH4725.
Nevertheless hearH8085 thou now this wordH1697 that I speakH1696 in thine earsH241, and in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971;
The prophetsH5030 that have been beforeH6440 me and beforeH6440 thee of oldH5769 prophesiedH5012 both against manyH7227 countriesH776, and against greatH1419 kingdomsH4467, of warH4421, and of evilH7451, and of pestilenceH1698.
The prophetH5030 which prophesiethH5012 of peaceH7965, when the wordH1697 of the prophetH5030 shall come to passH935, thenH227 shall the prophetH5030 be knownH3045, that the LORDH3068 hath trulyH571 sentH7971 him.
Then HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 tookH3947 the yokeH4133 from off the prophetH5030 Jeremiah'sH3414 neckH6677, and brakeH7665 it.
And HananiahH2608 spakeH559 in the presenceH5869 of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Even so will I breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 from the neckH6677 of all nationsH1471 within the space of two fullH3117 yearsH8141. And the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 wentH3212 his wayH1870.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414 the prophet, afterH310 that HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 had brokenH7665 the yokeH4133 from off the neckH6677 of the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and tellH559 HananiahH2608, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thou hast brokenH7665 the yokesH4133 of woodH6086; but thou shalt makeH6213 for them yokesH4133 of ironH1270.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I have putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon the neckH6677 of all these nationsH1471, that they may serveH5647 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and they shall serveH5647 him: and I have givenH5414 him the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 also.
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}
So HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 diedH4191 the same yearH8141 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
Querverweise zu Jeremia 28,8 Jer 28,8
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me, and will not doH6213 all these commandmentsH4687;
And if ye shall despiseH3988 my statutesH2708, or if your soulH5315 abhorH1602 my judgmentsH4941, so that ye will not doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, but that ye breakH6565 my covenantH1285:
I also will doH6213 this unto you; I will even appointH6485 over you terrorH928, consumptionH7829, and the burning agueH6920, that shall consumeH3615 the eyesH5869, and cause sorrowH1727 of heartH5315: and ye shall sowH2232 your seedH2233 in vainH7385, for your enemiesH341 shall eatH398 it. {over: Heb. upon}
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against you, and ye shall be slainH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341: they that hateH8130 you shall reignH7287 over you; and ye shall fleeH5127 when none pursuethH7291 you.
And if ye will not yetH5704 for all this hearkenH8085 unto me, then I will punishH3256 you seven timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403.
And I will breakH7665 the prideH1347 of your powerH5797; and I will makeH5414 your heavenH8064 as ironH1270, and your earthH776 as brassH5154:
And your strengthH3581 shall be spentH8552 in vainH7385: for your landH776 shall not yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, neither shall the treesH6086 of the landH776 yieldH5414 their fruitsH6529.
And if ye walkH3212 contraryH7147 unto me, and willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me; I will bringH3254 seven timesH7651 moreH3254 plaguesH4347 upon you according to your sinsH2403. {contrary…: or, at all adventures with me}
I will also sendH7971 wildH7704 beastsH2416 among you, which shall rob you of your childrenH7921, and destroyH3772 your cattleH929, and make you few in numberH4591; and your high waysH1870 shall be desolateH8074.
And if ye will not be reformedH3256 by me by these things, but will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then will I also walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you, and will punishH5221 you yetH1571 seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, that shall avengeH5358 the quarrelH5359 of my covenantH1285: and when ye are gathered togetherH622 withinH413 your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 the pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you; and ye shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And when I have brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of your breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 shall bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they shall deliverH7725 you your breadH3899 againH7725 by weightH4948: and ye shall eatH398, and not be satisfiedH7646.
And if ye will not for all thisH2063 hearkenH8085 unto me, but walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then I will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you also in furyH2534; and I, evenH637 I, will chastiseH3256 you seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323 shall ye eatH398.
And I will destroyH8045 your high placesH1116, and cut downH3772 your imagesH2553, and castH5414 your carcasesH6297 upon the carcasesH6297 of your idolsH1544, and my soulH5315 shall abhorH1602 you.
And I will makeH5414 your citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and bringH8074 your sanctuariesH4720 unto desolationH8074, and I will not smellH7306 the savourH7381 of your sweet odoursH5207.
And I will bringH8074 the landH776 into desolationH8074: and your enemiesH341 which dwellH3427 therein shall be astonishedH8074 at it.
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
Then shall the landH776 enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, as longH3117 as it lieth desolateH8074, and ye be in your enemies'H341 landH776; even then shall the landH776 restH7673, and enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676.
As long asH3117 it lieth desolateH8074 it shall restH7673; because it did not restH7673 in your sabbathsH7676, when ye dweltH3427 upon it.
And upon them that are leftH7604 alive of you I will sendH935 a faintnessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH341; and the soundH6963 of a shakenH5086 leafH5929 shall chaseH7291 them; and they shall fleeH5127, as fleeingH4499 from a swordH2719; and they shall fallH5307 when none pursuethH7291. {shaken: Heb. driven}
And they shall fallH3782 oneH376 upon anotherH251, as it were beforeH6440 a swordH2719, when none pursuethH7291: and ye shall have no power to standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
And ye shall perishH6 among the heathenH1471, and the landH776 of your enemiesH341 shall eat you upH398.
And they that are leftH7604 of you shall pine awayH4743 in their iniquityH5771 in your enemies'H341 landsH776; and also in the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1 shall they pine awayH4743 with them.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
Then will I rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and also my covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and also my covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 will I rememberH2142; and I will rememberH2142 the landH776.
The landH776 also shall be leftH5800 of them, and shall enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, while she lieth desolateH8074 without them: and they shall acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771: becauseH3282, even becauseH3282 they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and because their soulH5315 abhorredH1602 my statutesH2708.
And yetH637 for all thatH2063, when they beH1571 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, I will not cast them awayH3988, neither will I abhorH1602 them, to destroy them utterlyH3615, and to breakH6565 my covenantH1285 with them: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But I will for their sakes rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of their ancestorsH7223, whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, that I might be their GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
These are the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 and lawsH8451, which the LORDH3068 madeH5414 between him and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you this dayH3117, that ye shall soonH4118 utterlyH6 perishH6 from off the landH776 whereunto ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon it, but shall utterlyH8045 be destroyedH8045.
And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 you among the nationsH5971, and ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the heathenH1471, whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 you.
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 all his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117; that all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and overtakeH5381 thee:
CursedH779 shalt thou be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 shalt thou be in the fieldH7704.
CursedH779 shall be thy basketH2935 and thy storeH4863.
CursedH779 shall be the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, and the flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629.
CursedH779 shalt thou be when thou comest inH935, and cursedH779 shalt thou be when thou goest outH3318.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 upon thee cursingH3994, vexationH4103, and rebukeH4045, in all that thou settestH4916 thine handH3027 unto for to doH6213, until thou be destroyedH8045, and until thou perishH6 quicklyH4118; becauseH6440 of the wickednessH7455 of thy doingsH4611, whereby thou hast forsakenH5800 me. {for…: Heb. which thou wouldest do}
The LORDH3068 shall make the pestilenceH1698 cleaveH1692 unto thee, until he have consumedH3615 thee from off the landH127, whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with a consumptionH7829, and with a feverH6920, and with an inflammationH1816, and with an extreme burningH2746, and with the swordH2719, and with blastingH7711, and with mildewH3420; and they shall pursueH7291 thee until thou perishH6. {sword: or, drought}
And thy heavenH8064 that is over thy headH7218 shall be brassH5178, and the earthH776 that is under thee shall be ironH1270.
The LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 the rainH4306 of thy landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083: from heavenH8064 shall it come downH3381 upon thee, until thou be destroyedH8045.
The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thee to be smittenH5062 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341: thou shalt go outH3318 oneH259 wayH1870 against them, and fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them: and shalt be removedH2189 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {removed: Heb. for a removing}
And thy carcaseH5038 shall be meatH3978 unto all fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and unto the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and no man shall fray them awayH2729.
The LORDH3068 will smiteH5221 thee with the botchH7822 of EgyptH4714, and with the emerodsH2914+H6076, and with the scabH1618, and with the itchH2775, whereof thou canstH3201 not be healedH7495.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with madnessH7697, and blindnessH5788, and astonishmentH8541 of heartH3824:
And thou shalt gropeH4959 at noondayH6672, as the blindH5787 gropethH4959 in darknessH653, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and spoiledH1497 evermoreH3117, and no man shall saveH3467 thee.
Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lieH7901+H7693 with her: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt not dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt not gather the grapesH2490 thereof. {gather…: Heb. profane, or, use it as common meat}
Thine oxH7794 shall be slainH2873 before thine eyesH5869, and thou shalt not eatH398 thereof: thine assH2543 shall be violently taken awayH1497 from before thy faceH6440, and shall not be restoredH7725 to thee: thy sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 unto thine enemiesH341, and thou shalt have none to rescueH3467 them. {shall not…: Heb. shall not return to thee}
Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 unto anotherH312 peopleH5971, and thine eyesH5869 shall lookH7200, and failH3616 with longing for them all the dayH3117 long: and there shall be no mightH410 in thine handH3027.
The fruitH6529 of thy landH127, and all thy laboursH3018, shall a nationH5971 which thou knowestH3045 not eat upH398; and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 alwayH3117:
So that thou shalt be madH7696 for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee in the kneesH1290, and in the legsH7785, with a soreH7451 botchH7822 that cannotH3201 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 unto the top of thy headH6936.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH3212 thee, and thy kingH4428 which thou shalt setH6965 over thee, unto a nationH1471 which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045; and there shalt thou serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And thou shalt become an astonishmentH8047, a proverbH4912, and a bywordH8148, among all nationsH5971 whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 thee.
Thou shalt carryH3318 muchH7227 seedH2233 outH3318 into the fieldH7704, and shalt gatherH622 but littleH4592 inH622; for the locustH697 shall consumeH2628 it.
Thou shalt plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and dressH5647 them, but shalt neither drinkH8354 of the wineH3196, nor gatherH103 the grapes; for the wormsH8438 shall eatH398 them.
Thou shalt have olive treesH2132 throughout all thy coastsH1366, but thou shalt not anointH5480 thyself with the oilH8081; for thine oliveH2132 shall castH5394 his fruit.
Thou shalt begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall goH3212 into captivityH7628. {thou shalt not…: Heb. they shall not be thine}
All thy treesH6086 and fruitH6529 of thy landH127 shall the locustH6767 consumeH3423. {consume: or, possess}
The strangerH1616 that is withinH7130 thee shall get upH5927 above thee veryH4605 highH4605; and thou shalt come downH3381 veryH4295 lowH4295.
He shall lendH3867 to thee, and thou shalt not lendH3867 to him: he shall be the headH7218, and thou shalt be the tailH2180.
Moreover all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and shall pursueH7291 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, till thou be destroyedH8045; because thou hearkenedstH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which he commandedH6680 thee:
And they shall be upon thee for a signH226 and for a wonderH4159, and upon thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
Because thou servedstH5647 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things;
Therefore shalt thou serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 which the LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 against thee, in hungerH7458, and in thirstH6772, and in nakednessH5903, and in wantH2640 of all things: and he shall putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon thy neckH6677, until he have destroyedH8045 thee.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH5375 a nationH1471 against thee from farH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, as swift as the eagleH5404 fliethH1675; a nationH1471 whose tongueH3956 thou shalt not understandH8085; {understand: Heb. hear}
A nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, which shall not regardH5375 the personH6440 of the oldH2205, nor shew favourH2603 to the youngH5288: {of fierce…: Heb. strong of face}
And he shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, until thou be destroyedH8045: which also shall not leaveH7604 thee either cornH1715, wineH8492, or oilH3323, or the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, or flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629, until he have destroyedH6 thee.
And he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179, until thy highH1364 and fencedH1219 wallsH2346 come downH3381, whereinH2004 thou trustedstH982, throughout all thy landH776: and he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179 throughout all thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.
And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee, in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee: {body: Heb. belly}
So that the manH376 that is tenderH7390 among you, and veryH3966 delicateH6028, his eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward his brotherH251, and toward the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and toward the remnantH3499 of his childrenH1121 which he shall leaveH3498:
So that he will not giveH5414 to anyH259 of them of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whom he shall eatH398: because he hath nothing leftH7604 him in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee in all thy gatesH8179.
The tenderH7390 and delicateH6028 woman among you, which would not adventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 upon the groundH776 for delicatenessH6026 and tendernessH7391, her eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward the husbandH376 of her bosomH2436, and toward her sonH1121, and toward her daughterH1323,
And toward her young oneH7988 that cometh outH3318 from between her feetH7272, and toward her childrenH1121 which she shall bearH3205: for she shall eatH398 them for wantH2640 of all things secretlyH5643 in the siegeH4692 and straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemyH341 shall distressH6693 thee in thy gatesH8179. {young one: Heb. afterbirth}
If thou wilt not observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, that thou mayest fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and fearfulH3372 nameH8034, THE LORDH3068 THY GODH430;
Then the LORDH3068 will makeH6381 thy plaguesH4347 wonderfulH6381, and the plaguesH4347 of thy seedH2233, even greatH1419 plaguesH4347, and of long continuanceH539, and soreH7451 sicknessesH2483, and of long continuanceH539.
Moreover he will bringH7725 upon thee all the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, which thou wast afraidH3025 ofH6440; and they shall cleaveH1692 unto thee.
Also every sicknessH2483, and every plagueH4347, which is not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this lawH8451, them will the LORDH3068 bringH5927 upon thee, until thou be destroyedH8045. {bring: Heb. cause to ascend}
And ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, whereasH834 ye were as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230; because thou wouldest not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
And it shall come to pass, that as the LORDH3068 rejoicedH7797 over you to do you goodH3190, and to multiplyH7235 you; so the LORDH3068 will rejoiceH7797 over you to destroyH6 you, and to bring you to noughtH8045; and ye shall be pluckedH5255 from off the landH127 whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 thee among all peopleH5971, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the otherH7097; and there thou shalt serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045, even woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
And thy lifeH2416 shall hangH8511 in doubt beforeH5048 thee; and thou shalt fearH6342 dayH3119 and nightH3915, and shalt have none assuranceH539 of thy lifeH2416:
In the morningH1242 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 evenH6153! and at evenH6153 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 morningH1242! for the fearH6343 of thine heartH3824 wherewith thou shalt fearH6342, and for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
And the LORDH3068 shall bringH7725 thee into EgyptH4714 againH7725 with shipsH591, by the wayH1870 whereof I spakeH559 unto thee, Thou shalt seeH7200 it no more againH3254: and there ye shall be soldH4376 unto your enemiesH341 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198, and no man shall buyH7069 you.
Lest there should beH3426 among you manH376, or womanH802, or familyH4940, or tribeH7626, whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437 this dayH3117 from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to goH3212 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of these nationsH1471; lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509 gallH7219 and wormwoodH3939; {gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh}
And it come to pass, when he hearethH8085 the wordsH1697 of this curseH423, that he blessH1288 himself in his heartH3824, sayingH559, I shall have peaceH7965, thoughH3588 I walkH3212 in the imaginationH8307 of mine heartH3820, to addH5595 drunkennessH7302 to thirstH6771: {imagination: or, stubbornness} {drunkenness…: Heb. the drunken to the thirsty}
The LORDH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and the LORDH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
And the LORDH3068 shall separateH914 him unto evilH7451 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, according to all the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 of the lawH8451: {are: Heb. is}
So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965 afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935 from a farH7350 landH776, shall sayH559, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776, and the sicknessesH8463 which the LORDH3068 hath laidH2470 upon it; {which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick}
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
And the LORDH3068 rootedH5428 them out of their landH127 in angerH639, and in wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignationH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is this dayH3117.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1; and this peopleH5971 will rise upH6965, and go a whoringH2181 afterH310 the godsH430 of the strangersH5236 of the landH776, whither they goH935 to be amongH7130 them, and will forsakeH5800 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I have madeH3772 with them. {sleep: Heb. lie down}
Then my angerH639 shall be kindledH2734 against them in that dayH3117, and I will forsakeH5800 them, and I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, and they shall be devouredH398, and manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 shall befallH4672 them; so that they will sayH559 in that dayH3117, Are not these evilsH7451 comeH4672 upon us, because our GodH430 is not amongH7130 us? {befall: Heb. find}
But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grown thickH5666, thou art coveredH3780 with fatness; then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, and lightly esteemedH5034 the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.
They provoked him to jealousyH7065 with strangeH2114 gods, with abominationsH8441 provoked they him to angerH3707.
They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
Of the RockH6697 that begatH3205 thee thou art unmindfulH7876, and hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that formedH2342 thee.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, he abhorredH5006 them, because of the provokingH3708 of his sonsH1121, and of his daughtersH1323. {abhorred: or, despised}
And he saidH559, I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200 what their endH319 shall be: for they are a very frowardH8419 generationH1755, childrenH1121 in whom is no faithH529.
They have moved me to jealousyH7065 with that which is notH3808 GodH410; they have provoked me to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: and I will move them to jealousyH7065 with those which are not a peopleH5971; I will provoke them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471.
For a fireH784 is kindledH6919 in mine angerH639, and shall burnH3344 unto the lowestH8482 hellH7585, and shall consumeH398 the earthH776 with her increaseH2981, and set on fireH3857 the foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022. {shall burn: or, hath burned} {shall consume: or, hath consumed}
I will heapH5595 mischiefsH7451 upon them; I will spendH3615 mine arrowsH2671 upon them.
They shall be burntH4198 with hungerH7458, and devouredH3898 with burning heatH7565, and with bitterH4815 destructionH6986: I will also sendH7971 the teethH8127 of beastsH929 upon them, with the poisonH2534 of serpentsH2119 of the dustH6083. {heat: Heb. coals}
The swordH2719 withoutH2351, and terrorH367 withinH2315, shall destroyH7921 both the young manH970 and the virginH1330, the sucklingH3243 also with the manH376 of gray hairsH7872. {within: Heb. from the chambers} {destroy: Heb. bereave}
I saidH559, I would scatter them into cornersH6284, I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among menH582:
Were it notH3884 that I fearedH1481 the wrathH3708 of the enemyH341, lest their adversariesH6862 should behave themselves strangelyH5234, and lest they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is highH7311, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6466 all this. {Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done}
For they are a nationH1471 voidH6 of counselH6098, neither is there any understandingH8394 in them.
O thatH3863 they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH7919 this, that they would considerH995 their latter endH319!
How should oneH259 chaseH7291 a thousandH505, and twoH8147 put tenH7233 thousandH505 to flightH5127, exceptH3808 their RockH6697 had soldH4376 themH3588, and the LORDH3068 had shut them upH5462?
For their rockH6697 is not as our RockH6697, even our enemiesH341 themselves being judgesH6414.
For their vineH1612 is of the vineH1612 of SodomH5467, and of the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017: their grapesH6025 are grapesH6025 of gallH7219, their clustersH811 are bitterH4846: {of the vine: or, worse than the vine}
Their wineH3196 is the poisonH2534 of dragonsH8577, and the cruelH393 venomH7219 of aspsH6620.
Is not this laid up in storeH3647 with me, and sealed upH2856 among my treasuresH214?
To me belongeth vengeanceH5359, and recompenceH8005; their footH7272 shall slideH4131 in due timeH6256: for the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is at handH7138, and the things that shall comeH6264 upon them make hasteH2363.
For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and repentH5162 himself for his servantsH5650, when he seethH7200 that their powerH3027 is goneH235, and there is noneH657 shut upH6113, or leftH5800. {power: Heb. hand}
And he shall sayH559, Where are their godsH430, their rockH6697 in whom they trustedH2620,
Which did eatH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077, and drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drink offeringsH5257? let them rise upH6965 and helpH5826 you, and be your protectionH5643. {your…: Heb. an hiding for you}
SeeH7200 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no godH430 with me: I killH4191, and I make aliveH2421; I woundH4272, and I healH7495: neither is there any that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027.
For I lift upH5375 my handH3027 to heavenH8064, and sayH559, I liveH2416 for everH5769.
If I whetH8150 my glitteringH1300 swordH2719, and mine handH3027 take holdH270 on judgmentH4941; I will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to mine enemiesH6862, and will rewardH7999 them that hateH8130 me.
I will make mine arrowsH2671 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818, and my swordH2719 shall devourH398 fleshH1320; and that with the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and of the captivesH7633, from the beginningH7218 of revengesH6546 upon the enemyH341.
RejoiceH7442, O ye nationsH1471, with his peopleH5971: for he will avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of his servantsH5650, and will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to his adversariesH6862, and will be mercifulH3722 unto his landH127, and to his peopleH5971. {Rejoice…: or, Praise his people, ye nations: or, Sing ye}
And MosesH4872 cameH935 and spakeH1696 all the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, he, and HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. {Hoshea: or, Joshua}
And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 unto EliH5941, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Did I plainlyH1540 appearH1540 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, when they were in EgyptH4714 in Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004?
And did I chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to offerH5927 upon mine altarH4196, to burnH6999 incenseH7004, to wearH5375 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 me? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offerings made by fireH801 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478?
Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cut offH1438 thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, that there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004.
And thou shalt seeH5027 an enemyH6862 in my habitationH4583, in all the wealth which God shall giveH3190 IsraelH3478: and there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004 for everH3117. {an enemy…: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Behold, I will doH6213 a thingH1697 in IsraelH3478, at which bothH8147 the earsH241 of every one that hearethH8085 it shall tingleH6750.
In that dayH3117 I will performH6965 against EliH5941 all things which I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 his houseH1004: when I beginH2490, I will also make an endH3615. {when…: Heb. beginning and ending}
For I have toldH5046 him that I will judgeH8199 his houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769 for the iniquityH5771 which he knowethH3045; because his sonsH1121 made themselves vileH7043, and he restrainedH3543 them not. {For I…: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained…: Heb. frowned not upon them}
And therefore I have swornH7650 unto the houseH1004 of EliH5941, that the iniquityH5771 of Eli'sH5941 houseH1004 shall not be purgedH3722 with sacrificeH2077 nor offeringH4503 forH5704 everH5769.
GoH3212, tellH559 JeroboamH3379, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Forasmuch asH3282 I exaltedH7311 thee from amongH8432 the peopleH5971, and madeH5414 thee princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And rentH7167 the kingdomH4467 awayH7167 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servantH5650 DavidH1732, who keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and who followedH1980+H310 me with all his heartH3824, to doH6213 that only which was rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869;
But hast doneH6213 evilH7489 above all that were beforeH6440 thee: for thou hast goneH3212 and madeH6213 thee otherH312 godsH430, and molten imagesH4541, to provoke me to angerH3707, and hast castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458:
Therefore, behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, and will cut offH3772 from JeroboamH3379 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478, and will take awayH1197 the remnantH310 of the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, as a man taketh awayH1197 dungH1557, till it be all goneH8552.
Him that diethH4191 of JeroboamH3379 in the cityH5892 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
AriseH6965 thou therefore, getH3212 thee to thine own houseH1004: and when thy feetH7272 enterH935 into the cityH5892, the childH3206 shall dieH4191.
And all IsraelH3478 shall mournH5594 for him, and buryH6912 him: for he only of JeroboamH3379 shall comeH935 to the graveH6913, because in him there is foundH4672 some goodH2896 thingH1697 toward the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379.
Moreover the LORDH3068 shall raise him upH6965 a kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, who shall cut offH3772 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 that dayH3117: but what? even now.
For the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 IsraelH3478, as a reedH7070 is shakenH5110 in the waterH4325, and he shall root upH5428 IsraelH3478 out of this goodH2896 landH127, which he gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and shall scatterH2219 them beyondH5676 the riverH5104, because they have madeH6213 their grovesH842, provoking the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.
And ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 unto AhabH256, As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 these yearsH8141, but accordingH6310 to my wordH1697. {Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
AriseH6965, go downH3381 to meetH7125 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which is in SamariaH8111: behold, he is in the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022, whither he is gone downH3381 to possessH3423 it.
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou killedH7523, and also taken possessionH3423? And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In the placeH4725 where dogsH3611 lickedH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 shall dogsH3611 lickH3952 thy bloodH1818, even thine.
And AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Hast thou foundH4672 me, O mine enemyH341? And he answeredH559, I have foundH4672 thee: because thou hast soldH4376 thyself to workH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon thee, and will take awayH1197 thy posterityH310, and will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478,
And will makeH5414 thine houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, for the provocationH3708 wherewith thou hast provoked me to angerH3707, and made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And of JezebelH348 also spakeH1696 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 by the wallH2426 of JezreelH3157. {wall: or, ditch}
Him that diethH4191 of AhabH256 in the cityH5892 the dogsH3611 shall eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
Now will I singH7891 to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121+H8081 hillH7161: {a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427 alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776! {they: Heb. ye}
And he saidH559, GoH3212, and tellH559 this peopleH5971, HearH8085 ye indeedH8085, but understandH995 not; and seeH7200 ye indeedH7200, but perceiveH3045 not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
Then saidH559 I, LordH136, how long? And he answeredH559, Until the citiesH5892 be wastedH7582 without inhabitantH3427, and the housesH1004 without manH120, and the landH127 be utterlyH8077 desolateH7582, {utterly…: Heb. desolate with desolation}
And the LORDH3068 have removedH7368 menH120 far awayH7368, and there be a greatH7227 forsakingH5805 in the midstH7130 of the landH776.
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.
Behold, the LORDH3068 maketh the earthH776 emptyH1238, and maketh it wasteH1110, and turnethH5753 it upside downH6440, and scattereth abroadH6327 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. {turneth…: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}
And it shall be, as with the peopleH5971, so with the priestH3548; as with the servantH5650, so with his masterH113; as with the maidH8198, so with her mistressH1404; as with the buyerH7069, so with the sellerH4376; as with the lenderH3867, so with the borrowerH3867; as with the taker of usuryH5383, soH834 with the giver of usuryH5378 to him. {priest: or, prince}
The landH776 shall be utterlyH1238 emptiedH1238, and utterlyH962 spoiledH962: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 this wordH1697.
The earthH776 mournethH56 and fadeth awayH5034, the worldH8398 languishethH535 and fadeth awayH5034, the haughtyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languishH535. {the haughty…: Heb. the height of the people}
The earthH776 also is defiledH2610 under the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; because they have transgressedH5674 the lawsH8451, changedH2498 the ordinanceH2706, brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Therefore hath the curseH423 devouredH398 the earthH776, and they that dwellH3427 therein are desolateH816: therefore the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 leftH7604.
The new wineH8492 mournethH56, the vineH1612 languishethH535, all the merryheartedH8056+H3820 do sighH584.
The mirthH4885 of tabretsH8596 ceasethH7673, the noiseH7588 of them that rejoiceH5947 endethH2308, the joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceasethH7673.
They shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with a songH7892; strong drinkH7941 shall be bitterH4843 to them that drinkH8354 it.
The cityH7151 of confusionH8414 is broken downH7665: every houseH1004 is shut upH5462, that no man may come inH935.
There is a cryingH6682 for wineH3196 in the streetsH2351; all joyH8057 is darkenedH6150, the mirthH4885 of the landH776 is goneH1540.
In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolationH8047, and the gateH8179 is smittenH3807 with destructionH7591.
When thus it shall be in the midstH7130 of the landH776 amongH8432 the peopleH5971, there shall be as the shakingH5363 of an olive treeH2132, and as the gleaning grapesH5955 when the vintageH1210 is doneH3615.
They shall lift upH5375 their voiceH6963, they shall singH7442 for the majestyH1347 of the LORDH3068, they shall cry aloudH6670 from the seaH3220.
Wherefore glorifyH3513 ye the LORDH3068 in the firesH217, even the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the islesH339 of the seaH3220. {fires: or, valleys}
From the uttermost partH3671 of the earthH776 have we heardH8085 songsH2158, even gloryH6643 to the righteousH6662. But I saidH559, My leannessH7334, my leannessH7334, woeH188 unto me! the treacherous dealersH898 have dealt treacherouslyH898; yea, the treacherous dealersH898 have dealt veryH899 treacherouslyH898. {uttermost…: Heb. wing} {My leanness: Heb. Leanness to me, or, My secret to me}
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, are upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of the earthH776.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleethH5127 from the noiseH6963 of the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that cometh upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for the windowsH699 from on highH4791 are openH6605, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 do shakeH7493.
The earthH776 is utterlyH7489 broken downH7489, the earthH776 is cleanH6565 dissolvedH6565, the earthH776 is movedH4131 exceedinglyH4131.
The earthH776 shall reelH5128 to and froH5128 like a drunkardH7910, and shall be removedH5110 like a cottageH4412; and the transgressionH6588 thereof shall be heavyH3513 upon it; and it shall fallH5307, and not riseH6965 againH3254.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall punishH6485 the hostH6635 of the high onesH4791 that are on highH4791, and the kingsH4428 of the earthH127 upon the earthH127. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And they shall be gathered togetherH622, as prisonersH616 are gatheredH626 in the pitH953, and shall be shut upH5462 in the prisonH4525, and after manyH7230 daysH3117 shall they be visitedH6485. {as prisoners…: Heb. with the gathering of prisoners} {pit: or, dungeon} {visited: or, found wanting}
Then the moonH3842 shall be confoundedH2659, and the sunH2535 ashamedH954, when the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall reignH4427 in mountH2022 ZionH6726, and in JerusalemH3389, and before his ancientsH2205 gloriouslyH3519. {before…: or, there shall be glory before his ancients}
HearH8085 this, ye old menH2205, and give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1?
TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755.
That which the palmerwormH1501 hath leftH3499 hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath leftH3499 hath the cankerwormH3218 eatenH398; and that which the cankerwormH3218 hath leftH3499 hath the caterpillerH2625 eatenH398. {That which the palmerworm…: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm}
AwakeH6974, ye drunkardsH7910, and weepH1058; and howlH3213, all ye drinkersH8354 of wineH3196, because of the new wineH6071; for it is cut offH3772 from your mouthH6310.
For a nationH1471 is come upH5927 upon my landH776, strongH6099, and without numberH4557, whose teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH738, and he hath the cheek teethH4973 of a great lionH3833.
He hath laidH7760 my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barkedH7111 my fig treeH8384: he hath made it cleanH2834 bareH2834, and cast it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are made whiteH3835. {barked…: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking}
LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271.
The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD'SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56.
The fieldH7704 is wastedH7703, the landH127 mournethH56; for the cornH1715 is wastedH7703: the new wineH8492 is dried upH3001, the oilH3323 languishethH535.
Be ye ashamedH3001, O ye husbandmenH406; howlH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; because the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6.
The vineH1612 is dried upH3001, and the fig treeH8384 languishethH535; the pomegranateH7416 tree, the palm treeH8558 also, and the apple treeH8598, even all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, are witheredH3001: because joyH8342 is withered awayH3001 from the sonsH1121 of menH120.
GirdH2296 yourselves, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548: howlH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196: comeH935, lie all nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is withholdenH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.
SanctifyH6942 ye a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068, {solemn…: or, day of restraint}
AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138, and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935.
Is not the meatH400 cut offH3772 before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?
The seedH6507 is rottenH5685 under their clodsH4053, the garnersH214 are laid desolateH8074, the barnsH4460 are broken downH2040; for the cornH1715 is witheredH3001. {seed: Heb. grains}
How do the beastsH929 groanH584! the herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 are perplexedH943, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are made desolateH816.
O LORDH3068, to thee will I cryH7121: for the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, and the flameH3852 hath burnedH3857 all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. {pastures: or, habitations}
The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 also unto thee: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are dried upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
For, behold, in those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, when I shall bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389,
I will also gatherH6908 all nationsH1471, and will bring them downH3381 into the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092, and will pleadH8199 with them there for my peopleH5971 and for my heritageH5159 IsraelH3478, whom they have scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471, and partedH2505 my landH776.
And they have castH3032 lotsH1486 for my peopleH5971; and have givenH5414 a boyH3206 for an harlotH2181, and soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196, that they might drinkH8354.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TyreH6865, and ZidonH6721, and all the coastsH1552 of PalestineH6429? will ye renderH7999 me a recompenceH1576? and if ye recompenseH1580 me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 will I returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218;
Because ye have takenH3947 my silverH3701 and my goldH2091, and have carriedH935 into your templesH1964 my goodlyH2896 pleasant thingsH4261: {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The childrenH1121 also of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JerusalemH3389 have ye soldH4376 unto the GreciansH3125+H1121, that ye might remove them farH7368 from their borderH1366. {the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}
Behold, I will raiseH5782 them out of the placeH4725 whither ye have soldH4376 them, and will returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218:
And I will sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and they shall sellH4376 them to the SabeansH7615, to a peopleH1471 far offH7350: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
ProclaimH7121 ye this among the GentilesH1471; PrepareH6942 warH4421, wake upH5782 the mighty menH1368, let all the menH582 of warH4421 draw nearH5066; let them come upH5927: {Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}
BeatH3807 your plowsharesH855 into swordsH2719, and your pruninghooksH4211 into spearsH7420: let the weakH2523 sayH559, I am strongH1368. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
AssembleH5789 yourselves, and comeH935, all ye heathenH1471, and gather yourselves togetherH6908 round aboutH5439: thither cause thy mighty onesH1368 to come downH5181, O LORDH3068. {cause…: or, the LORD shall bring down}
But trulyH199 I am fullH4390 of powerH3581 by the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and of judgmentH4941, and of mightH1369, to declareH5046 unto JacobH3290 his transgressionH6588, and to IsraelH3478 his sinH2403.
HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
They build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. {blood: Heb. bloods}
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
The burdenH4853 of NinevehH5210. The bookH5612 of the visionH2377 of NahumH5151 the ElkoshiteH512.
GodH410 is jealousH7072, and the LORDH3068 revengethH5358; the LORDH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH1167+H2534; the LORDH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341. {God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
