And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 toward JerusalemH3389, and dropH5197 thy word toward the holy placesH4720, and prophesyH5012 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478,
And sayH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593, and will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563.
SeeingH3282 then that I will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, therefore shall my swordH2719 go forthH3318 out of his sheathH8593 against all fleshH1320 from the southH5045 to the northH6828:
That all fleshH1320 may knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have drawn forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593: it shall not returnH7725 any more.
SighH584 therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, with the breakingH7670 of thy loinsH4975; and with bitternessH4814 sighH584 before their eyesH5869.
And it shall be, when they sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore sighestH584 thou? that thou shalt answerH559, For the tidingsH8052; because it comethH935: and every heartH3820 shall meltH4549, and all handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and every spiritH7307 shall faintH3543, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325: behold, it comethH935, and shall be brought to passH1961, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {shall be weak…: Heb. shall go into water}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SayH559, A swordH2719, a swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and also furbishedH4803:
It is sharpenedH2300 to make a soreH2874 slaughterH2873; it is furbishedH4178 that it may glitterH1300: shouldH176 we then make mirthH7797? it contemnethH3988 the rodH7626 of my sonH1121, as every treeH6086. {it contemneth…: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}
And he hath givenH5414 it to be furbishedH4803, that it may be handledH3709+H8610: this swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and it is furbishedH4178, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026.
CryH2199 and howlH3213, sonH1121 of manH120: for it shall be upon my peopleH5971, it shall be upon all the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478: terrorsH4048 by reason ofH413 the swordH2719 shall be upon my peopleH5971: smiteH5606 therefore upon thy thighH3409. {terrors…: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people}
Because it is a trialH974, and what if the sword contemnH3988 even the rodH7626? it shall be no more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {Because…: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?}
Thou therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and smiteH5221 thine handsH3709+H3709 togetherH5221, and let the swordH2719 be doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 time, the swordH2719 of the slainH2491: it is the swordH2719 of the greatH1419 men that are slainH2491, which entereth into their privy chambersH2314. {hands…: Heb. hand to hand}
I have setH5414 the pointH19 of the swordH2719 against all their gatesH8179, that their heartH3820 may faintH4127, and their ruinsH4383 be multipliedH7235: ahH253! it is madeH6213 brightH1300, it is wrapped upH4593 for the slaughterH2874. {point: or, glittering, or, fear} {wrapped up: or, sharpened}
Go thee one way or otherH258, either onH7760 the right handH3231, or on the leftH8041, whithersoeverH575 thy faceH6440 is setH3259. {or on…: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand}
I will also smiteH5221 mine handsH3709 togetherH3709, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117: I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696 it.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me again, sayingH559,
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, appointH7760 thee twoH8147 waysH1870, that the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 may comeH935: both twainH8147 shall come forthH3318 out of oneH259 landH776: and chooseH1254 thou a placeH3027, chooseH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892.
AppointH7760 a wayH1870, that the swordH2719 may comeH935 to RabbathH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389 the defencedH1219.
For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 stoodH5975 at the partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 divinationH7081: he made his arrowsH2671 brightH7043, he consultedH7592 with imagesH8655, he lookedH7200 in the liverH3516. {parting of: Heb. mother of} {arrows: or, knives} {images: Heb. teraphim}
At his right handH3225 was the divinationH7081 for JerusalemH3389, to appointH7760 captainsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 in the slaughterH7524, to lift upH7311 the voiceH6963 with shoutingH8643, to appointH7760 battering ramsH3733 against the gatesH8179, to castH8210 a mountH5550, and to buildH1129 a fortH1785. {captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams}
And it shall be unto them as a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their sightH5869, to them that have swornH7650 oathsH7621: but he will call to remembranceH2142 the iniquityH5771, that they may be takenH8610. {to them…: or, for the oaths made unto them}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have made your iniquityH5771 to be rememberedH2142, in that your transgressionsH6588 are discoveredH1540, so that in all your doingsH5949 your sinsH2403 do appearH7200; because, I say, that ye are come to remembranceH2142, ye shall be takenH8610 with the handH3709.
And thou, profaneH2491 wickedH7563 princeH5387 of IsraelH3478, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093,
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; RemoveH5493 the diademH4701, and take offH7311 the crownH5850: this shall not be the sameH2063: exaltH1361 him that is lowH8217, and abaseH8213 him that is highH1364.
I will overturnH5754, overturnH5754, overturnH5754, it: and it shall beH7760 no more, until he comeH935 whose rightH4941 it is; and I will giveH5414 it him. {I will overturn…: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it}
And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and concerning their reproachH2781; even sayH559 thou, The swordH2719, the swordH2719 is drawnH6605: for the slaughterH2874 it is furbishedH4803, to consumeH398 because of the glitteringH1300:
Whiles they seeH2372 vanityH7723 unto thee, whiles they divineH7080 a lieH3577 unto thee, to bringH5414 thee upon the necksH6677 of them that are slainH2491, of the wickedH7563, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 their iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093.
Shall I cause it to returnH7725 into his sheathH8593? I will judgeH8199 thee in the placeH4725 where thou wast createdH1254, in the landH776 of thy nativityH4351. {Shall…: or, Cause it to return}
And I will pour outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon thee, I will blowH6315 against thee in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of brutishH1197 menH582, and skilfulH2796 to destroyH4889. {brutish: or, burning}
Thou shalt be for fuelH402 to the fireH784; thy bloodH1818 shall be in the midstH8432 of the landH776; thou shalt be no more rememberedH2142: for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.

SonH1121 of manH120, hath not the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, saidH559 unto thee, What doestH6213 thou?
SayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; This burdenH4853 concerneth the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that are amongH8432 them.
SayH559, I am your signH4159: like as I have doneH6213, so shall it be doneH6213 unto them: they shall removeH1473 and goH3212 into captivityH7628. {they…: Heb. by removing go into captivity}
MischiefH1943 shall comeH935 upon mischiefH1943, and rumourH8052 shall be upon rumourH8052; then shall they seekH1245 a visionH2377 of the prophetH5030; but the lawH8451 shall perishH6 from the priestH3548, and counselH6098 from the ancientsH2205.
ThenH227 the dukesH441 of EdomH123 shall be amazedH926; the mighty menH352 of MoabH4124, tremblingH7461 shall take holdH270 upon them; all the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 shall melt awayH4127.
Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 handsH3027.
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}
All handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325. {be weak…: Heb. go into water}
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto the landH127 of IsraelH3478; An endH7093, the endH7093 is comeH935 upon the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the landH776.
Now is the endH7093 come upon thee, and I will sendH7971 mine angerH639 upon thee, and will judgeH8199 thee according to thy waysH1870, and will recompenseH5414 upon thee all thine abominationsH8441. {recompense: Heb. give}
And mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 thee, neither will I have pityH2550: but I will recompenseH5414 thy waysH1870 upon thee, and thine abominationsH8441 shall be in the midstH8432 of thee: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; An evilH7451, an onlyH259 evilH7451, behold, is comeH935.
An endH7093 is comeH935, the endH7093 is comeH935: it watchethH6974 for thee; behold, it is comeH935. {watcheth for: Heb. awaketh against}
The morningH6843 is comeH935 unto thee, O thou that dwellestH3427 in the landH776: the timeH6256 is comeH935+H935, the dayH3117 of troubleH4103 is nearH7138, and not the sounding againH1906 of the mountainsH2022. {sounding…: or, echo}
Now will I shortlyH7138 pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon thee, and accomplishH3615 mine angerH639 upon thee: and I will judgeH8199 thee according to thy waysH1870, and will recompenseH5414 thee for all thine abominationsH8441.
And mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347, neither will I have pityH2550: I will recompenseH5414 thee according to thy waysH1870 and thine abominationsH8441 that are in the midstH8432 of thee; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that smitethH5221. {thee according: Heb. upon thee, etc}
Behold the dayH3117, behold, it is comeH935: the morningH6843 is gone forthH3318; the rodH4294 hath blossomedH6692, prideH2087 hath buddedH6524.
ViolenceH2555 is risen upH6965 into a rodH4294 of wickednessH7562: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitudeH1995, nor of anyH1991 of theirs: neither shall there be wailingH5089 for them. {theirs: or, their tumultuous persons: Heb. tumult}
The timeH6256 is comeH935, the dayH3117 draweth nearH5060: let not the buyerH7069 rejoiceH8055, nor the sellerH4376 mournH56: for wrathH2740 is upon all the multitudeH1995 thereof.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! they sayH559 of me, Doth he not speakH4911 parablesH4912?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I am bringingH935 such evilH7451 upon JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever hearethH8085 of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.
And the officersH7860 shall speakH1696 furtherH3254 unto the peopleH5971, and they shall sayH559, What manH376 is there that is fearfulH3373 and faintheartedH7390+H3824? let him goH3212 and returnH7725 unto his houseH1004, lest his brethren'sH251 heartH3824 faintH4549 as well as his heartH3824. {faint: Heb. melt}
Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965 him that was fallingH3782, and thou hast strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 kneesH1290.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
SonH1121 of manH120, what is that proverbH4912 that ye have in the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The daysH3117 are prolongedH748, and every visionH2377 failethH6?
TellH559 them therefore, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will make this proverbH4912 to ceaseH7673, and they shall no more use it as a proverbH4911 in IsraelH3478; but sayH1696 unto them, The daysH3117 are at handH7126, and the effectH1697 of every visionH2377.
For there shall be no more any vainH7723 visionH2377 nor flatteringH2509 divinationH4738 withinH8432 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
For I am the LORDH3068: I will speakH1696, and the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 shall come to passH6213; it shall be no more prolongedH4900: for in your daysH3117, O rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, will I sayH1696 the wordH1697, and will performH6213 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, they of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 sayH559, The visionH2377 that he seethH2372 is for manyH7227 daysH3117 to come, and he prophesiethH5012 of the timesH6256 that are farH7350 off.
Therefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; There shall none of my wordsH1697 be prolongedH4900 any more, but the wordH1697 which I have spokenH1696 shall be doneH6213, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto me, Wilt thou not tellH5046 us what these things are to us, that thou doestH6213 so?
And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307. {is confederate…: Heb. resteth on}
And she saidH559 unto the menH582, I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the landH776, and that your terrorH367 is fallenH5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 faintH4127 becauseH6440 of you. {faint: Heb. melt}
For we have heardH8085 how the LORDH3068 dried upH3001 the waterH4325 of the RedH5488 seaH3220 for youH6440, when ye came outH3318 of EgyptH4714; and what ye didH6213 unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, SihonH5511 and OgH5747, whom ye utterly destroyedH2763.
And as soon as we had heardH8085 these things, our heartsH3824 did meltH4549, neither did there remainH6965 any more courageH7307 in any manH376, becauseH6440 of you: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, and in earthH776 beneath. {did there…: Heb. rose up}
When I would comfortH4010 myself against sorrowH3015, my heartH3820 is faintH1742 in me. {in: Heb. upon}
ButG1161 the endG5056 of all thingsG3956 is at handG1448: be yeG4993 thereforeG3767 soberG4993, andG2532 watchG3525 untoG1519 prayerG4335.
From the timeH1767 that it goeth forthH5674 it shall takeH3947 you: for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it pass overH5674, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be a vexationH2113 only to understandH995 the reportH8052. {to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which were on the sideH5676 of JordanH3383 westwardH3220, and all the kingsH4428 of the CanaanitesH3669, which were by the seaH3220, heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 had dried upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, until we were passed overH5674, that their heartH3824 meltedH4549, neither was there spiritH7307 in them any more, becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath heardH8085 the reportH8088 of them, and his handsH3027 waxed feebleH7503: anguishH6869 took holdH2388 of him, and pangsH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, a peopleH5971 comethH935 from the northH6828 countryH776, and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be raisedH5782 from the sidesH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have no mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roarethH1993 like the seaH3220; and they rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, set in arrayH6186 as menH376 for warH4421 against thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.
We have heardH8085 the fameH8089 thereof: our handsH3027 wax feebleH7503: anguishH6869 hath taken holdH2388 of us, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205.
And he also that is valiantH1121+H2428, whose heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, shall utterlyH4549 meltH4549: for all IsraelH3478 knowethH3045 that thy fatherH1 is a mighty manH1368, and they which be with him are valiantH2428 menH1121.
Men'sG444 hearts failing themG674 forG575 fearG5401, andG2532 for looking afterG4329 those things which are coming onG1904 the earthG3625: forG1063 the powersG1411 of heavenG3772 shall be shakenG4531.
Concerning DamascusH1834. HamathH2574 is confoundedH954, and ArpadH774: for they have heardH8085 evilH7451 tidingsH8052: they are faintheartedH4127; there is sorrowH1674 on the seaH3220; it cannotH3201 be quietH8252. {fainthearted: Heb. melted} {on…: or, as on the sea}
