HearH8085 ye this wordH1697 which I take upH5375 against you, even a lamentationH7015, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
The virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 is fallenH5307; she shall no moreH3254 riseH6965: she is forsakenH5203 upon her landH127; there is none to raise her upH6965.
 For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; The cityH5892 that went outH3318 by a thousandH505 shall leaveH7604 an hundredH3967, and that which went forthH3318 by an hundredH3967 shall leaveH7604 tenH6235, to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:
But seekH1875 not BethelH1008, nor enterH935 into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540, and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and ye shall liveH2421; lest he break outH6743 like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and devourH398 it, and there be none to quenchH3518 it in BethelH1008.
Ye who turnH2015 judgmentH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and leave offH3240 righteousnessH6666 in the earthH776,
Seek him that makethH6213 the seven starsH3598 and OrionH3685, and turnethH2015 the shadow of deathH6757 into the morningH1242, and maketh the dayH3117 darkH2821 with nightH3915: that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034:
That strengthenethH1082 the spoiledH7701 against the strongH5794, so that the spoiledH7701 shall comeH935 against the fortressH4013. {spoiled: Heb. spoil}
They hateH8130 him that rebukethH3198 in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581 him that speakethH1696 uprightlyH8549.
ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318 is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947 from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 of them. {pleasant…: Heb. vineyards of desire}
For I knowH3045 your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887 the justH6662, they takeH3947 a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186 the poorH34 in the gateH8179 from their right. {a bribe: or, a ransom}
Therefore the prudentH7919 shall keep silenceH1826 in that timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256.
SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421: and so the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, shall be with you, as ye have spokenH559.
 HateH8130 the evilH7451, and loveH157 the goodH2896, and establishH3322 judgmentH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635 will be graciousH2603 unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
Therefore the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the LordH136, saithH559 thus; WailingH4553 shall be in all streetsH7339; and they shall sayH559 in all the highwaysH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandmanH406 to mourningH60, and such as are skilfulH3045 of lamentationH5092 to wailingH4553.
And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553: for I will passH5674 throughH7130 thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
 Shall not the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
I hateH8130, I despiseH3988 your feast daysH2282, and I will not smellH7306 in your solemn assembliesH6116. {in…: or, your holy days}
Though ye offerH5927 me burnt offeringsH5930 and your meat offeringsH4503, I will not acceptH7521 them: neither will I regardH5027 the peace offeringsH8002 of your fat beastsH4806. {peace…: or, thank offerings}
Take thou awayH5493 from me the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892; for I will not hearH8085 the melodyH2172 of thy violsH5035.
But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556 as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 streamH5158. {run: Heb. roll}
Have ye offeredH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
But ye have borneH5375 the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your godH430, which ye madeH6213 to yourselves. {the tabernacle…: or, Siccuth your king}
 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834, saithH559 the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is The GodH430 of hostsH6635.

Hast thou commandedH6680 the morningH1242 since thy daysH3117; and caused the dayspringH7837 to knowH3045 his placeH4725;
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will cause the sunH8121 to go downH935 at noonH6672, and I will darkenH2821 the earthH776 in the clearH216 dayH3117:
InH8141 the sixH8337 hundredthH3967 yearH8141 of Noah'sH5146 lifeH2416, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, the seventeenthH7651+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, the sameH2088 dayH3117 were all the fountainsH4599 of the greatH7227 deepH8415 broken upH1234, and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were openedH6605. {windows: or, floodgates}
And the rainH1653 was upon the earthH776 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 enteredH935 NoahH5146, and ShemH8035, and HamH2526, and JaphethH3315, the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, and Noah'sH5146 wifeH802, and the threeH7969 wivesH802 of his sonsH1121 with them, into the arkH8392;
TheyH1992, and every beastH2416 after his kindH4327, and all the cattleH929 after their kindH4327, and every creeping thingH7431 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776 after his kindH4327, and every fowlH5775 after his kindH4327, every birdH6833 of every sortH3671. {sort: Heb. wing}
And they went inH935 unto NoahH5146 into the arkH8392, twoH8147 and twoH8147 of all fleshH1320, whereinH834 is the breathH7307 of lifeH2416.
And they that went inH935, went inH935 maleH2145 and femaleH5347 of all fleshH1320, as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him: and the LORDH3068 shut him inH5462.
And the floodH3999 was fortyH705 daysH3117 upon the earthH776; and the watersH4325 increasedH7235, and bare upH5375 the arkH8392, and it was lift upH7311 above the earthH776.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396, and were increasedH7235 greatlyH3966 upon the earthH776; and the arkH8392 wentH3212 upon the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 exceedinglyH3966+H3966 upon the earthH776; and all the highH1364 hillsH2022, that were underH8478 the whole heavenH8064, were coveredH3680.

Canst thou bring forthH3318 MazzarothH4216 in his seasonH6256? or canst thou guideH5148 ArcturusH5906 with his sonsH1121? {Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}

And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 toward heavenH8064, that there may be darknessH2822 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even darknessH2822 which may be feltH4959. {even…: Heb. that one may feel darkness}
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 toward heavenH8064; and there was a thickH653 darknessH2822 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 threeH7969 daysH3117:
They sawH7200 not oneH376 anotherH251, neither roseH6965 anyH376 from his place for threeH7969 daysH3117: but all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had lightH216 in their dwellingsH4186.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
Such as sitH3427 in darknessH2822 and in the shadow of deathH6757, being boundH615 in afflictionH6040 and ironH1270;
Because they rebelledH4784 against the wordsH561 of GodH410, and contemnedH5006 the counselH6098 of the most HighH5945:
Therefore he brought downH3665 their heartH3820 with labourH5999; they fell downH3782, and there was none to helpH5826.
Then they criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 in their troubleH6862, and he savedH3467 them out of their distressesH4691.
He brought them outH3318 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757, and brakeH5423 their bandsH4147 in sunderH5423.
And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242 watchH821 the LORDH3068 lookedH8259 unto the hostH4264 of the EgyptiansH4714 through the pillarH5982 of fireH784 and of the cloudH6051, and troubledH2000 the hostH4264 of the EgyptiansH4714,
And took offH5493 their chariotH4818 wheelsH212, that they draveH5090 them heavilyH3517: so that the EgyptiansH4714 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127 from the faceH6440 of IsraelH3478; for the LORDH3068 fightethH3898 for them against the EgyptiansH4714. {that they…: or, and made them to go heavily}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 over the seaH3220, that the watersH4325 may come againH7725 upon the EgyptiansH4714, upon their chariotsH7393, and upon their horsemenH6571.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, and the seaH3220 returnedH7725 to his strengthH386 when the morningH1242 appearedH6437; and the EgyptiansH4714 fledH5127 againstH7125 it; and the LORDH3068 overthrewH5287 the EgyptiansH4714 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220. {overthrew: Heb. shook off}
And the watersH4325 returnedH7725, and coveredH3680 the chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571, and all the hostH2428 of PharaohH6547 that cameH935 into the seaH3220 afterH310 them; there remainedH7604 not so much asH5704 oneH259 of them.
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
The peopleG2992 whichG3588 satG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 sawG1492 greatG3173 lightG5457; andG2532 to them whichG3588 satG2521 inG1722 the regionG5561 andG2532 shadowG4639 of deathG2288 lightG5457 is sprung upG393+G846.
Thou makestH7896 darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915: wherein all the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 do creepH7430 forth. {beasts…: Heb. beasts thereof do trample on the forest}
He causeth it to comeH4672, whether for correctionH7626, or for his landH776, or for mercyH2617. {correction: Heb. a rod}
To give lightG2014 to them that sitG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 andG2532 in the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, to guideG2720 ourG2257 feetG4228 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.
He sentH7971 darknessH2822, and made it darkH2821; and they rebelledH4784 not against his wordH1697.
