Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of KeriothH7152: and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumultH7588, with shoutingH8643, and with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782:
And I will cut offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 all the princesH8269 thereof with him, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have despisedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have not keptH8104 his commandmentsH2706, and their liesH3577 caused them to errH8582, afterH310 the which their fathersH1 have walkedH1980:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon JudahH3063, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in unto the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: {maid: or, young woman}
And they lay themselves downH5186 upon clothesH899 laid to pledgeH2254 byH681 every altarH4196, and they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of the condemnedH6064 in the houseH1004 of their godH430. {the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}
Yet destroyedH8045 I the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whose heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from aboveH4605, and his rootsH8328 from beneath.
Also I brought you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and ledH3212 you fortyH705 yearsH8141 through the wildernessH4057, to possessH3423 the landH776 of the AmoriteH567.
And I raised upH6965 of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your young menH970 for NazaritesH5139. Is it not even thus, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But ye gave the NazaritesH5139 wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not.
Behold, I am pressedH5781 under you, as a cartH5699 is pressedH5781 that is fullH4392 of sheavesH5995. {I am…: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth}
Therefore the flightH4498 shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall not strengthenH553 his forceH3581, neither shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: {himself: Heb. his soul, or, life}
Neither shall he standH5975 that handlethH8610 the bowH7198; and he that is swiftH7031 of footH7272 shall not deliverH4422 himself: neither shall he that ridethH7392 the horseH5483 deliverH4422 himselfH5315.
And he that is courageousH533+H3820 among the mightyH1368 shall flee awayH5127 nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {courageous: Heb. strong of his heart}

And all IsraelH3478 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 knewH3045 that SamuelH8050 was establishedH539 to be a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068. {established: or, faithful}

Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, goH3212, flee thee awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there:
And SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732: and when they sawH7200 the companyH3862 of the prophetsH5030 prophesyingH5012, and SamuelH8050 standingH5975 as appointedH5324 over them, the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 was upon the messengersH4397 of SaulH7586, and they also prophesiedH5012.
Now therefore bewareH8104, I pray thee, and drinkH8354 not wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, and eatH398 not any uncleanH2931 thing:
For, lo, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and no razorH4177 shall comeH5927 on his headH7218: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from the wombH990: and he shall beginH2490 to deliverH3467 IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH559 her husbandH376, sayingH559, A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 unto me, and his countenanceH4758 was like the countenanceH4758 of an angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 terribleH3372: but I askedH7592 him not whence he was, neither toldH5046 he me his nameH8034:
But he saidH559 unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and now drinkH7941 no wineH3196 nor strong drinkH8354, neither eatH398 any uncleanH2932 thing: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.

But prophesyH5012 not againH3254 any more at BethelH1008: for it is the king'sH4428 chapelH4720, and it is the king'sH4467 courtH1004. {chapel: or, sanctuary} {king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom}
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.

Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, What iniquityH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1891?

For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376+H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) {Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
It seemedG1380 good to me alsoG2504, having had perfectG199 understandingG3877 of all thingsG3956 from the very firstG509, to writeG1125 unto theeG4671 in orderG2517, most excellentG2903 TheophilusG2321,
ThatG2443 thou mightest knowG1921 the certaintyG803 ofG4012 those thingsG3056, whereinG3739 thou hast been instructedG2727.
There wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, the kingG935 of JudaeaG2449, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZachariasG2197, ofG1537 the courseG2183 of AbiaG7: andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 was ofG1537 the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, andG2532 herG846 nameG3686 was ElisabethG1665.
AndG1161 they wereG2258 bothG297 righteousG1342 beforeG1799 GodG2316, walkingG4198 inG1722 allG3956 the commandmentsG1785 andG2532 ordinancesG1345 of the LordG2962 blamelessG273.
AndG2532 theyG846 hadG2258 noG3756 childG5043, becauseG2530 that ElisabethG1665 wasG2258 barrenG4723, andG2532 theyG846 bothG297 wereG2258 now well strickenG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that whileG1722 heG846 executed the priest's officeG2407 beforeG1725 GodG2316 inG1722 the orderG5010 of hisG846 courseG2183,
AccordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priest's officeG2405, his lotG2975 was to burn incenseG2370 when he wentG1525 intoG1519 the templeG3485 of the LordG2962.
AndG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 wereG2258 prayingG4336 withoutG1854 at the timeG5610 of incenseG2368.
AndG1161 there appearedG3700 unto himG846 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 standingG2476 onG1537 the right sideG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368.
AndG2532 when ZachariasG2197 sawG1492 him, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1909 himG846.
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 thouG4671 shalt haveG2071 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG1083.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 shalt thou anointH4886 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 of AbelmeholahH65 shalt thou anointH4886 to be prophetH5030 in thy room. {Elisha: Gr. Eliseus}
O my peopleH5971, what have I doneH6213 unto thee? and wherein have I weariedH3811 thee? testifyH6030 against me.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of the menH582 of AnathothH6068, that seekH1245 thy lifeH5315, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, that thou dieH4191 not by our handH3027:
And, behold, there cameH5066 aH259 prophetH5030 unto AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou seenH7200 all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995? behold, I will deliverH5414 it into thine handH3027 this dayH3117; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {came: Heb. approached}
For I brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and redeemedH6299 thee out of the houseH1004 of servantsH5650; and I sentH7971 beforeH6440 thee MosesH4872, AaronH175, and MiriamH4813.
Then spakeH559 the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, This manH376 is worthyH4941 to dieH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085 with your earsH241. {This man…: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man}
And a certainH259 manH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 unto his neighbourH7453 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, SmiteH5221 me, I pray thee. And the manH376 refusedH3985 to smiteH5221 him.
ProphesyH5197 ye not, say they to them that prophesyH5197: they shall not prophesyH5197 to them, that they shall not takeH5253 shameH3639. {Prophesy ye…: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}
And he hastedH4116, and took the ashesH666 awayH5493 from his faceH5869; and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 discernedH5234 him that he was of the prophetsH5030.
AndG1161 whenG3753 the timeG2540 of the fruitG2590 drew nearG1448, he sentG649 hisG846 servantsG1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG1092, that they might receiveG2983 the fruitsG2590 of itG846.
AndG2532 the husbandmenG1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739+G3303, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739.
AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 unto themG846 likewiseG5615.
ButG1161 last of allG5305 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 hisG846 sonG5207, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG3450 sonG5207.
ButG1161 when the husbandmenG1092 sawG1492 the sonG5207, they saidG2036 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG2076 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 let us seizeG2722 on hisG846 inheritanceG2817.
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.
AndG2532 they calledG2564 themG846, and commandedG3853 themG846 notG3361 to speakG5350 at allG2527 norG3366 teachG1321 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, TarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to BethelH1008. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they went downH3381 to BethelH1008.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at BethelH1008 came forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, ElishaH477, tarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he answeredH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
SayingG3004, DidG3853 notG3756 we straitlyG3852 commandG3853 youG5213 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686? andG2532, beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with yourG5216 doctrineG1322, andG2532 intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG5127 man'sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG2248.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 untoH6440 ElishaH477, Behold now, the placeH4725 where we dwellH3427 with thee is too straitH6862 for us.
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Who bothG2532 killedG615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 their ownG2398 prophetsG4396, andG2532 have persecutedG1559 usG2248; andG2532 they pleaseG700 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 are contraryG1727 to allG3956 menG444: {persecuted us: or, chased us out}
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
ForbiddingG2967 usG2248 to speakG2980 to the GentilesG1484 thatG2443 they might be savedG4982, toG1519 fill upG378 theirG846 sinsG266 alwayG3842: forG1161 the wrathG3709 is comeG5348 uponG1909 themG846 toG1519 the uttermostG5056.
