The burdenH4853 which HabakkukH2265 the prophetH5030 did seeH2372.
O LORDH3068, how long shall I cryH7768, and thou wilt not hearH8085! even cry outH2199 unto thee of violenceH2555, and thou wilt not saveH3467!
Why dost thou shewH7200 me iniquityH205, and cause me to beholdH5027 grievanceH5999? for spoilingH7701 and violenceH2555 are before me: and there are that raise upH5375 strifeH7379 and contentionH4066.
Therefore the lawH8451 is slackedH6313, and judgmentH4941 doth neverH5331 go forthH3318: for the wickedH7563 doth compassH3803 about the righteousH6662; therefore wrongH6127 judgmentH4941 proceedethH3318. {wrong: or, wrested}
BeholdH7200 ye among the heathenH1471, and regardH5027, and wonderH8539 marvellouslyH8539: for I will workH6466 a workH6467 in your daysH3117, which ye will not believeH539, though it be toldH5608 you.
For, lo, I raise upH6965 the ChaldeansH3778, that bitterH4751 and hastyH4116 nationH1471, which shall marchH1980 through the breadthH4800 of the landH776, to possessH3423 the dwellingplacesH4908 that are not theirs. {breadth: Heb. breadths}
They are terribleH366 and dreadfulH3372: their judgmentH4941 and their dignityH7613 shall proceedH3318 of themselves. {their judgment…: or, from them shall proceed the judgment of these, and the captivity of these}
Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than the leopardsH5246, and are more fierceH2300 than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061: and their horsemenH6571 shall spreadH6335 themselves, and their horsemenH6571 shall comeH935 from farH7350; they shall flyH5774 as the eagleH5404 that hastethH2363 to eatH398. {fierce: Heb. sharp}
They shall comeH935 all for violenceH2555: their facesH6440 shall sup upH4041 as the east windH6921, and they shall gatherH622 the captivityH7628 as the sandH2344. {their…: or, the supping up of their faces, etc: or, their faces shall look (Heb. the opposition of their faces) toward the east}
And they shall scoffH7046 at the kingsH4428, and the princesH7336 shall be a scornH4890 unto them: they shall derideH7832 every strong holdH4013; for they shall heapH6651 dustH6083, and takeH3920 it.
Then shall his mindH7307 changeH2498, and he shall pass overH5674, and offendH816, imputing thisH2098 his powerH3581 unto his godH433.
Art thou not from everlastingH6924, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, mine Holy OneH6918? we shall not dieH4191. O LORDH3068, thou hast ordainedH7760 them for judgmentH4941; and, O mighty GodH6697, thou hast establishedH3245 them for correctionH3198. {mighty…: Heb. rock. established: Heb. founded}
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
And makestH6213 menH120 as the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, as the creeping thingsH7431, that have no rulerH4910 over them? {creeping: or, moving}
They take upH5927 all of them with the angleH2443, they catchH1641 them in their netH2764, and gatherH622 them in their dragH4365: therefore they rejoiceH8055 and are gladH1523. {drag: or, flue net}
Therefore they sacrificeH2076 unto their netH2764, and burn incenseH6999 unto their dragH4365; because by themH1992 their portionH2506 is fatH8082, and their meatH3978 plenteousH1277. {plenteous: or, dainty: Heb. fat}
Shall they therefore emptyH7324 their netH2764, and not spareH2550 continuallyH8548 to slayH2026 the nationsH1471?

Yea also, because he transgressethH898 by wineH3196, he is a proudH3093 manH1397, neither keepeth at homeH5115, who enlargethH7337 his desireH5315 as hellH7585, and is as deathH4194, and cannot be satisfiedH7646, but gatherethH622 unto him all nationsH1471, and heapethH6908 unto him all peopleH5971: {Yea…: or, How much more}
Shall not all these take upH5375 a parableH4912 against him, and a tauntingH4426 proverbH2420 against him, and sayH559, WoeH1945 to him that increasethH7235 that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladethH3513 himself with thick clayH5671! {Woe…: or, Ho, he}
Shall they not rise upH6965 suddenlyH6621 that shall biteH5391 thee, and awakeH3364 that shall vexH2111 thee, and thou shalt be for bootiesH4933 unto them?
Because thou hast spoiledH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, all the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall spoilH7997 thee; because of men'sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 of the landH776, of the cityH7151, and of all that dwellH3427 therein. {blood: Heb. bloods}
For the violenceH2555 of LebanonH3844 shall coverH3680 thee, and the spoilH7701 of beastsH929, which made them afraidH2865, because of men'sH120 bloodH1818, and for the violenceH2555 of the landH776, of the cityH7151, and of all that dwellH3427 therein.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
Moreover I will takeH6 from them the voiceH6963 of mirthH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347, and the lightH216 of the candleH5216. {I will…: Heb. I will cause to perish from them}
And this whole landH776 shall be a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047; and these nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141.
And it shall come to pass, when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are accomplishedH4390, that I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and will makeH7760 it perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And I will bringH935 upon that landH776 all my wordsH1697 which I have pronouncedH1696 against it, even all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, which JeremiahH3414 hath prophesiedH5012 against all the nationsH1471.
For manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of them also: and I will recompenseH7999 them according to their deedsH6467, and according to the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto me; TakeH3947 the wineH3196 cupH3563 of this furyH2534 at my handH3027, and cause all the nationsH1471, to whom I sendH7971 thee, to drinkH8248 it.
And they shall drinkH8354, and be movedH1607, and be madH1984, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 among them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;
PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971;
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983,
And all the kingsH4428 of TyrusH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of ZidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220, {isles: or, region by the sea side}
DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, {that…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6154 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057,
And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,
And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against the GentilesH1471;
Against EgyptH4714, against the armyH2428 of PharaohnechoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in CarchemishH3751, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
OrderH6186 ye the bucklerH4043 and shieldH6793, and draw nearH5066 to battleH4421.
HarnessH631 the horsesH5483; and get upH5927, ye horsemenH6571, and stand forthH3320 with your helmetsH3553; furbishH4838 the spearsH7420, and put onH3847 the brigandinesH5630.
Wherefore have I seenH7200 them dismayedH2844 and turnedH5472 away backH268? and their mighty onesH1368 are beaten downH3807, and are fledH5127 apaceH4498, and look not backH6437: for fearH4032 was round aboutH5439, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {beaten…: Heb. broken in pieces} {fled…: Heb. fled a flight}
Let not the swiftH7031 flee awayH5127, nor the mighty manH1368 escapeH4422; they shall stumbleH3782, and fallH5307 toward the northH6828 byH3027 the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Who is this that cometh upH5927 as a floodH2975, whose watersH4325 are movedH1607 as the riversH5104?
EgyptH4714 riseth upH5927 like a floodH2975, and his watersH4325 are movedH1607 like the riversH5104; and he saithH559, I will go upH5927, and will coverH3680 the earthH776; I will destroyH6 the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.
Come upH5927, ye horsesH5483; and rageH1984, ye chariotsH7393; and let the mighty menH1368 come forthH3318; the EthiopiansH3568 and the LibyansH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043; and the LydiansH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198. {the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush} {the Libyans: Heb. Put}
For this is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversariesH6862: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398, and it shall be satiateH7646 and made drunkH7301 with their bloodH1818: for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Go upH5927 into GileadH1568, and takeH3947 balmH6875, O virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 shalt thou use manyH7235 medicinesH7499; for thou shalt not be curedH8585. {thou shalt…: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}
The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of thy shameH7036, and thy cryH6682 hath filledH4390 the landH776: for the mighty manH1368 hath stumbledH3782 against the mightyH1368, and they are fallenH5307 bothH8147 togetherH3162.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, how NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee.
Why are thy valiantH47 men swept awayH5502? they stoodH5975 not, because the LORDH3068 did driveH1920 them.
He made manyH7235 to fallH3782, yea, oneH376 fellH5307 upon anotherH7453: and they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let us go againH7725 to our own peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativityH4138, fromH6440 the oppressingH3238 swordH2719. {made…: Heb. multiplied the faller}
They did cryH7121 there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath passedH5674 the time appointedH4150.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935.
O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213 thyself to go into captivityH3627+H1473: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 without an inhabitantH3427. {furnish…: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
EgyptH4714 is like a very fairH3304 heiferH5697, but destructionH7171 comethH935; it cometh outH935 of the northH6828.
Also her hired menH7916 are in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocksH5695; for they also are turned backH6437, and are fled awayH5127 togetherH3162: they did not standH5975, because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935 upon them, and the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486. {fatted…: Heb. bullocks of the stall}
The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212 like a serpentH5175; for they shall marchH3212 with an armyH2428, and comeH935 against her with axesH7134, as hewersH2404 of woodH6086.
They shall cut downH3772 her forestH3293, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though it cannot be searchedH2713; because they are moreH7231 than the grasshoppersH697, and are innumerableH369+H4557.
The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confoundedH3001; she shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559; Behold, I will punishH6485 the multitudeH527+H528 of NoH4996, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with their godsH430, and their kingsH4428; even PharaohH6547, and all them that trustH982 in him: {multitude: or, nourisher: Heb. Amon}
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But fearH3372 not thou, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, and be not dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, behold, I will saveH3467 thee from afar offH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and be in restH8252 and at easeH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}
ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. {began…: Heb. reigned}
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
For throughH5921 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, till he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it, and builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
SoH935 the cityH5892 was besiegedH4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, in the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the famineH7458 was soreH2388 in the cityH5892, so that there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
Then the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between the two wallsH2346, which was by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588; (now the ChaldeansH3778 were by the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and they wentH3212 by the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and all his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him.
Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carried him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869: he slewH7819 also all the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247.
Then he put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in chainsH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prisonH1004+H6486 till the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. {put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards}
Now in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, which was the nineteenthH8672+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018, captainH7227 of the guardH2876, which servedH5975+H6440 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, into JerusalemH3389, {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {served: Heb. stood before}
And burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004; and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and all the housesH1004 of the greatH1419 men, burnedH8313 he with fireH784:
And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 all the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 certain of the poorH1803 of the peopleH5971, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the restH3499 of the multitudeH527.
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 certain of the poorH1803 of the landH776 for vinedressersH3755 and for husbandmenH3009.
Also the pillarsH5982 of brassH5178 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the basesH4350, and the brasenH5178 seaH3220 that was in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the ChaldeansH3778 brakeH7665, and carriedH5375 all the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894.
The caldronsH5518 also, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the bowlsH4219, and the spoonsH3709, and all the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, took they awayH3947. {shovels: or, instruments to remove the ashes} {bowls: or, basons}
And the basonsH5592, and the firepansH4289, and the bowlsH4219, and the caldronsH5518, and the candlesticksH4501, and the spoonsH3709, and the cupsH4518; that which was of goldH2091 in goldH2091, and that which was of silverH3701 in silverH3701, tookH3947 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 awayH3947. {firepans: or, censers}
The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, oneH259 seaH3220, and twelveH8147+H6240 brasenH5178 bullsH1241 that were under the basesH4350, which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: the brassH5178 of all these vesselsH3627 was without weightH4948. {the brass: Heb. their brass}
And concerning the pillarsH5982, the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083+H6240 cubitsH520; and a filletH2339 of twelveH8147+H6240 cubitsH520 did compassH5437 it; and the thicknessH5672 thereof was fourH702 fingersH676: it was hollowH5014. {fillet: Heb. thread}
And a chapiterH3805 of brassH5178 was upon it; and the heightH6967 of oneH259 chapiterH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, with networkH7639 and pomegranatesH7416 upon the chapitersH3805 round aboutH5439, all of brassH5178. The secondH8145 pillarH5982 also and the pomegranatesH7416 were like unto these.
And there were ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 pomegranatesH7416 on a sideH7307; and all the pomegranatesH7416 upon the networkH7639 were an hundredH3967 round aboutH5439.
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold}
He tookH3947 also out of the cityH5892 anH259 eunuchH5631, which had the chargeH6496 of the menH582 of warH4421; and sevenH7651 menH582 of them that were nearH7200 the king'sH4428 personH6440, which were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the principalH8269 scribeH5608 of the hostH6635, who musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and threescoreH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that were foundH4672 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892. {were near…: Heb. saw the face of the king} {principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and put them to deathH4191 in RiblahH7247 in the landH127 of HamathH2574. Thus JudahH3063 was carried away captiveH1540 out of his own landH776.
This is the peopleH5971 whom NebuchadrezzarH5019 carried away captiveH1540: in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 threeH7969 thousandH505 JewsH3064 and threeH7969 and twentyH6242:
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 he carried away captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 personsH5315: {persons: Heb. souls}
In the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 of the JewsH3064 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568 personsH5315: all the personsH5315 were fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, in the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the first yearH8141 of his reignH4438 lifted upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and brought him forthH3318 out of prisonH1004+H3628,
And spakeH1696 kindlyH2896 unto him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 aboveH4605 the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894, {kindly…: Heb. good things with him}
And changedH8138 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did continuallyH8548 eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And for his dietH737, there was a continualH8548 dietH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, everyH3117 dayH3117 a portionH1697 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416. {every…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
