BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, for it is nigh at handH7138; {trumpet: or, cornet}
A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. {of many…: Heb. of generation and generation}
A fireH784 devourethH398 beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnethH3857: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and nothing shall escapeH6413 them.
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.
Before their faceH6440 the peopleH5971 shall be much painedH2342: all facesH6440 shall gatherH6908 blacknessH6289. {blackness: Heb. pot}
They shall runH7323 like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212 every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670 their ranksH734:
Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?
Therefore also now, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, turnH7725 ye even to me with all your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553:
And rendH7167 your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162 him of the evilH7451.
Who knowethH3045 if he will returnH7725 and repentH5162, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drink offeringH5262 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116:
GatherH622 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, assembleH6908 the eldersH2205, gatherH622 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699: let the bridegroomH2860 go forthH3318 of his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closetH2646.
Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910 them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? {rule over: or, use a byword against}
Then will the LORDH3068 be jealousH7065 for his landH776, and pityH2550 his peopleH5971.
Yea, the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 and sayH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I will sendH7971 you cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith: and I will no more makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the heathenH1471:
But I will remove far offH7368 from you the northernH6830 army, and will driveH5080 him into a landH776 barrenH6723 and desolateH8077, with his faceH6440 toward the eastH6931 seaH3220, and his hinder partH5490 toward the utmostH314 seaH3220, and his stinkH889 shall come upH5927, and his ill savourH6709 shall come upH5927, because he hath doneH6213 great thingsH1431. {hath…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
FearH3372 not, O landH127; be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055: for the LORDH3068 will doH6213 great thingsH1431. {will…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
Be not afraidH3372, ye beastsH929 of the fieldH7704: for the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 do springH1876, for the treeH6086 bearethH5375 her fruitH6529, the fig treeH8384 and the vineH1612 do yieldH5414 their strengthH2428.
Be gladH1523 then, ye childrenH1121 of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he hath givenH5414 you the former rainH4175 moderatelyH6666, and he will cause to come downH3381 for you the rainH1653, the former rainH4175, and the latter rainH4456 in the firstH7223 month. {the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness} {moderately: Heb. according to righteousness}
And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of wheatH1250, and the fatsH3342 shall overflowH7783 with wineH8492 and oilH3323.
And I will restoreH7999 to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerwormH3218, and the caterpillerH2625, and the palmerwormH1501, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you.
And ye shall eatH398 in plentyH398, and be satisfiedH7646, and praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that hath dealtH6213 wondrouslyH6381 with you: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and none else: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.
And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012, your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200 visionsH2384:
And also upon the servantsH5650 and upon the handmaidsH8198 in those daysH3117 will I pour outH8210 my spiritH7307.
And I will shewH5414 wondersH4159 in the heavensH8064 and in the earthH776, bloodH1818, and fireH784, and pillarsH8490 of smokeH6227.
The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015 into darknessH2822, and the moonH3394 into bloodH1818, beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and the terribleH3372 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comeH935.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 shall be deliveredH4422: for in mountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 shall be deliveranceH6413, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559, and in the remnantH8300 whom the LORDH3068 shall callH7121.

The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD'SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56.
And the porchH197 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the houseH1004, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 thereof, according to the breadthH7341 of the houseH1004; and tenH6235 cubitsH520 was the breadthH7341 thereof before the houseH1004.
TakeH3947 with you wordsH1697, and turnH7725 to the LORDH3068: sayH559 unto him, Take awayH5375 all iniquityH5771, and receiveH3947 us graciouslyH2896: so will we renderH7999 the calvesH6499 of our lipsH8193. {receive…: or, give good}
And MosesH4872 besoughtH2470+H6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, LORDH3068, why doth thy wrathH639 wax hotH2734 against thy peopleH5971, which thou hast brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581, and with a mightyH2389 handH3027? {the LORD: Heb. the face of the LORD}
Wherefore should the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, and sayH559, For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountainsH2022, and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127? TurnH7725 from thy fierceH2740 wrathH639, and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against thy peopleH5971.
RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, thy servantsH5650, to whom thou swarestH7650 by thine own self, and saidstH1696 unto them, I will multiplyH7235 your seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and all this landH776 that I have spokenH559 of will I giveH5414 unto your seedH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it for everH5769.
Thou makest us to turnH7725 backH268 from the enemyH6862: and they which hateH8130 us spoilH8154 for themselves.
Thou hast givenH5414 us like sheepH6629 appointed for meatH3978; and hast scatteredH2219 us among the heathenH1471. {like…: Heb. as sheep of meat}
Thou sellestH4376 thy peopleH5971 for noughtH1952, and dost not increaseH7235 thy wealth by their priceH4242. {for…: Heb. without riches}
Thou makestH7760 us a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and a derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us.
Thou makestH7760 us a bywordH4912 among the heathenH1471, a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the peopleH3816.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And thou shalt become an astonishmentH8047, a proverbH4912, and a bywordH8148, among all nationsH5971 whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 thee.
And they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776: for they have heardH8085 that thou LORDH3068 art amongH7130 this peopleH5971, that thou LORDH3068 art seenH7200 faceH5869 to faceH5869, and that thy cloudH6051 standethH5975 over them, and that thou goestH1980 beforeH6440 them, by day timeH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915.
Now if thou shalt killH4191 all this peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, then the nationsH1471 which have heardH8085 the fameH8088 of thee will speakH559, sayingH559,
Because the LORDH3068 was notH1115 ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 into the landH776 which he swareH7650 unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819 them in the wildernessH4057.
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.
Then SolomonH8010 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which he had builtH1129 beforeH6440 the porchH197,
And he saidH559, If now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136, let my LordH136, I pray thee, goH3212 amongH7130 us; for it is a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971; and pardonH5545 our iniquityH5771 and our sinH2403, and take us for thine inheritanceH5157.
O GodH430, how long shall the adversaryH6862 reproachH2778? shall the enemyH341 blasphemeH5006 thy nameH8034 for everH5331?
O LORDH3068, why hast thou made us to errH8582 from thy waysH1870, and hardenedH7188 our heartH3820 from thy fearH3374? ReturnH7725 for thy servants'H5650 sake, the tribesH7626 of thine inheritanceH5159.
The peopleH5971 of thy holinessH6944 have possessedH3423 it but a little whileH4705: our adversariesH6862 have trodden downH947 thy sanctuaryH4720.
We are thine: thou neverH5769 barest ruleH4910 over them; they were not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
Then will I cut offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH6440 of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all peopleH5971:
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}
And he broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and, behold, at the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were about fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376, with their backsH268 toward the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and they worshippedH7812 the sunH8121 toward the eastH6924.
And I lookedH7200, and, behold, ye had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and had madeH6213 you a moltenH4541 calfH5695: ye had turned asideH5493 quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 you.
And I tookH8610 the twoH8147 tablesH3871, and castH7993 them out ofH5921 my twoH8147 handsH3027, and brakeH7665 them before your eyesH5869.
And I fell downH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, as at the firstH7223, fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915: I did neither eatH398 breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325, because of all your sinsH2403 which ye sinnedH2398, in doingH6213 wickedlyH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
For I was afraidH3025 ofH6440 the angerH639 and hot displeasureH2534, wherewith the LORDH3068 was wrothH7107 against you to destroyH8045 you. But the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 unto me at that timeH6471 also.
And the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with AaronH175 to have destroyedH8045 him: and I prayedH6419 for AaronH175 also the same timeH6256.
And I tookH3947 your sinH2403, the calfH5695 which ye had madeH6213, and burntH8313 it with fireH784, and stampedH3807 it, and groundH2912 it very smallH3190, even until it was as smallH1854 as dustH6083: and I castH7993 the dustH6083 thereof into the brookH5158 that descended outH3381 of the mountH2022.
And at TaberahH8404, and at MassahH4532, and at KibrothhattaavahH6914, ye provoked the LORDH3068 to wrathH7107.
Likewise when the LORDH3068 sentH7971 you from KadeshbarneaH6947, sayingH559, Go upH5927 and possessH3423 the landH776 which I have givenH5414 you; then ye rebelledH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye believedH539 him not, nor hearkenedH8085 to his voiceH6963.
Ye have been rebelliousH4784 against the LORDH3068 from the dayH3117 that I knewH3045 you.
Thus I fell downH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915, as I fell downH5307 at the first; because the LORDH3068 had saidH559 he would destroyH8045 you.
I prayedH6419 therefore unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, destroyH7843 not thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou hast redeemedH6299 through thy greatnessH1433, which thou hast brought forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027.
RememberH2142 thy servantsH5650, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290; lookH6437 not unto the stubbornnessH7190 of this peopleH5971, nor to their wickednessH7562, nor to their sinH2403:
Lest the landH776 whence thou broughtest us outH3318 sayH559, Because the LORDH3068 was not ableH3201 to bringH935 them into the landH776 which he promisedH1696 them, and because he hatedH8135 them, he hath brought them outH3318 to slayH4191 them in the wildernessH4057.
Yet they are thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou broughtest outH3318 by thy mightyH1419 powerH3581 and by thy stretched outH5186 armH2220.
RememberH2142 this, that the enemyH341 hath reproachedH2778, O LORDH3068, and that the foolishH5036 peopleH5971 have blasphemedH5006 thy nameH8034.
O deliverH5414 not the soulH5315 of thy turtledoveH8449 unto the multitudeH2416 of the wicked: forgetH7911 not the congregationH2416 of thy poorH6041 for everH5331.
Have respectH5027 unto the covenantH1285: for the darkH4285 places of the earthH776 are fullH4390 of the habitationsH4999 of crueltyH2555.
O let not the oppressedH1790 returnH7725 ashamedH3637: let the poorH6041 and needyH34 praiseH1984 thy nameH8034.
AriseH6965, O GodH430, pleadH7378 thine own causeH7379: rememberH2142 how the foolish manH5036 reproachethH2781 thee dailyH3117.
ForgetH7911 not the voiceH6963 of thine enemiesH6887: the tumultH7588 of those that rise upH6965 against thee increasethH5927 continuallyH8548. {increaseth: Heb. ascendeth}
Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993 of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
As with a swordH7524 in my bonesH6106, mine enemiesH6887 reproachH2778 me; while they sayH559 dailyH3117 unto me, Where is thy GodH430? {sword: or, killing}
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
Now therefore, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, saveH3467 us from his handH3027, that all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068, even thou only.
We are become a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us.
Thou makestH7760 us a bywordH4912 among the heathenH1471, a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the peopleH3816.
Wherefore should the heathenH1471 sayH559, Where is their GodH430? let him be knownH3045 among the heathenH1471 in our sightH5869 by the revengingH5360 of the bloodH1818 of thy servantsH5650 which is shedH8210. {revenging: Heb. vengeance}
Be not wrothH7107 very soreH3966, O LORDH3068, neither rememberH2142 iniquityH5771 for everH5703: behold, seeH5027, we beseech thee, we are all thy peopleH5971.
Thy holyH6944 citiesH5892 are a wildernessH4057, ZionH6726 is a wildernessH4057, JerusalemH3389 a desolationH8077.
Our holyH6944 and our beautifulH8597 houseH1004, where our fathersH1 praisedH1984 thee, is burned upH8316 with fireH784: and all our pleasant thingsH4261 are laid wasteH2723.
Wilt thou refrainH662 thyself for these things, O LORDH3068? wilt thou hold thy peaceH2814, and afflictH6031 us very soreH3966?
O my GodH430, inclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 our desolationsH8074, and the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034: for we do not presentH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 thee for our righteousnessesH6666, but for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356. {which…: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
Wherewith thine enemiesH341 have reproachedH2778, O LORDH3068; wherewith they have reproachedH2778 the footstepsH6119 of thine anointedH4899.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
O LordH136, hearH8085; O LordH136, forgiveH5545; O LordH136, hearkenH7181 and doH6213; deferH309 notH408, for thine own sake, O my GodH430: for thy cityH5892 and thy peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.
Therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 wastesH2723, and to the citiesH5892 that are forsakenH5800, which became a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
ProphesyH5012 therefore concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, because ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I have lifted upH5375 mine handH3027, Surely the heathenH1471 that are aboutH5439 you, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.
Then she that is mine enemyH341 shall seeH7200 it, and shameH955 shall coverH3680 her which saidH559 unto me, Where is the LORDH3068 thy GodH430? mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 her: now shall she be trodden downH4823 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351. {Then…: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame} {shall she…: Heb. she shall be for a treading down}
And it came to pass, that when they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
He trustedG3982 inG1909 GodG2316; let him deliverG4506 himG846 nowG3568, ifG1487 he will haveG2309 himG846: forG1063 he saidG2036+G3754, I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
