And when BalaamH1109 sawH7200 that it pleasedH5869+H2895 the LORDH3068 to blessH1288 IsraelH3478, he wentH1980 not, as at other timesH6471, to seekH7125 for enchantmentsH5173, but he setH7896 his faceH6440 toward the wildernessH4057. {to seek…: Heb. to the meeting of}
And BalaamH1109 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and he sawH7200 IsraelH3478 abidingH7931 in his tents according to their tribesH7626; and the spiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon him.
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 hath saidH5002, and the manH1397 whose eyesH5869 are openH8365 hath saidH5002: {whose…: Heb. who had his eyes shut, but now opened}
He hath saidH5002, which heardH8085 the wordsH561 of GodH410, which sawH2372 the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, fallingH5307 into a trance, but having his eyesH5869 openH1540:
How goodlyH2895 are thy tentsH168, O JacobH3290, and thy tabernaclesH4908, O IsraelH3478!
As the valleysH5158 are they spread forthH5186, as gardensH1593 by the river's sideH5104, as the trees of lign aloesH174 which the LORDH3068 hath plantedH5193, and as cedar treesH730 beside the watersH4325.
He shall pourH5140 the waterH4325 outH5140 of his bucketsH1805, and his seedH2233 shall be in manyH7227 watersH4325, and his kingH4428 shall be higherH7311 than AgagH90, and his kingdomH4438 shall be exaltedH5375.
GodH410 brought him forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214: he shall eat upH398 the nationsH1471 his enemiesH6862, and shall breakH1633 their bonesH6106, and pierceH4272 them through with his arrowsH2671.
He couchedH3766, he lay downH7901 as a lionH738, and as a great lionH3833: who shall stir him upH6965? BlessedH1288 is he that blessethH1288 thee, and cursedH779 is he that cursethH779 thee.
And Balak'sH1111 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against BalaamH1109, and he smoteH5606 his handsH3709 togetherH5606: and BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, I calledH7121 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast altogetherH1288 blessedH1288 them these threeH7969 timesH6471.
Therefore now fleeH1272 thou to thy placeH4725: I thoughtH559 to promoteH3513 thee unto greatH3513 honourH3513; but, lo, the LORDH3068 hath kept thee backH4513 from honourH3519.
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, SpakeH1696 I not also to thy messengersH4397 which thou sentestH7971 unto me, sayingH559,
If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I cannotH3201 go beyondH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 either goodH2896 or badH7451 of mine own mindH3820; but what the LORDH3068 saithH1696, that will I speakH1696?
And now, behold, I goH1980 unto my peopleH5971: comeH3212 therefore, and I will advertiseH3289 thee what this peopleH5971 shall doH6213 to thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117.
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 hath saidH5002, and the manH1397 whose eyesH5869 are openH8365 hath saidH5002:
He hath saidH5002, which heardH8085 the wordsH561 of GodH410, and knewH3045 the knowledgeH1847 of the most HighH5945, which sawH2372 the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, fallingH5307 into a trance, but having his eyesH5869 openH1540:
I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nighH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352+H8351. {smite…: or, smite through the princes of}
And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428.
Out of JacobH3290 shall come he that shall have dominionH7287, and shall destroyH6 him that remainethH8300 of the cityH5892.
And when he lookedH7200 on AmalekH6002, he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, AmalekH6002 was the firstH7225 of the nationsH1471; but his latterH319 end shall be that he perishH8 for everH5703. {the nations: the nations that warred against Israel} {that…: or, even to destruction}
And he lookedH7200 on the KenitesH7017, and took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, StrongH386 is thy dwellingplaceH4186, and thou puttestH7760 thy nestH7064 in a rockH5553.
Nevertheless the KeniteH7014 shallH518 be wastedH1197, until AsshurH804 shall carry thee away captiveH7617. {the Kenite: Heb. Kain} {until…: or, how long shall it be ere Asshur carry thee away captive}
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, AlasH188, who shall liveH2421 when GodH410 doethH7760 this!
And shipsH6716 shall come from the coastH3027 of ChittimH3794, and shall afflictH6031 AsshurH804, and shall afflictH6031 EberH5677, and he also shall perishH8 for everH5703.
And BalaamH1109 rose upH6965, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725 to his placeH4725: and BalakH1111 also wentH1980 his wayH1870.

ThenH116 was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brassH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken to piecesH1855+H1751 togetherH2298, and becameH1934 like the chaffH5784 ofH4481 the summerH7007 threshingfloorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 themH1994 awayH5376, thatH3606 noH3809 placeH870 was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smoteH4223 the imageH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906, and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.

And there cameH935 one that had escapedH6412, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680; for he dweltH7931 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063: and these were confederateH1167+H1285 with AbramH87.
Forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 that the stoneH69 was cut outH1505 of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028, and that it brake in piecesH1855 the ironH6523, the brassH5174, the clayH2635, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722; the greatH7229 GodH426 hath made knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 shall come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and the dreamH2493 is certainH3330, and the interpretationH6591 thereof sureH540. {without…: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Cald. after this}
ThenH116 I wouldH6634 know the truthH3321 ofH5922 the fourthH7244 beastH2423, which wasH1934 diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the others, exceedingH3493 dreadfulH1763, whose teethH8128 were of ironH6523, and his nailsH2953 of brassH5174; which devouredH399, brake in piecesH1855, and stampedH7512 the residueH7606 with his feetH7271; {from…: Cald. from all those}
And afterH310 threescoreH8346 and twoH8147 weeksH7620 shall MessiahH4899 be cut offH3772, but not for himself: and the peopleH5971 of the princeH5057 that shall comeH935 shall destroyH7843 the cityH5892 and the sanctuaryH6944; and the endH7093 thereof shall be with a floodH7858, and unto the endH7093 of the warH4421 desolationsH8074 are determinedH2782. {but…: or, and shall have nothing} {desolations…: or, it shall be cut off by desolations}
ThusH3652 he saidH560, The fourthH7244 beastH2423 shall beH1934 the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 upon earthH772, which shall be diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 kingdomsH4437, and shall devourH399 the wholeH3606 earthH772, and shall tread it downH1759, and break it in piecesH1855.
And the tenH6236 hornsH7162 out ofH4481 this kingdomH4437 are tenH6236 kingsH4430 that shall ariseH6966: and anotherH321 shall riseH6966 afterH311 them; and he shall be diverseH8133 fromH4481 the firstH6933, and he shall subdueH8214 threeH8532 kingsH4430.
And he shall speakH4449 great wordsH4406 againstH6655 the most HighH5943, and shall wear outH1080 the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, and thinkH5452 to changeH8133 timesH2166 and lawsH1882: and they shall be givenH3052 into his handH3028 untilH5705 a timeH5732 and timesH5732 and the dividingH6387 of timeH5732.
But the judgmentH1780 shall sitH3488, and they shall take awayH5709 his dominionH7985, to consumeH8046 and to destroyH7 it untoH5705 the endH5491.
And ofH5922 the tenH6236 hornsH7162 that were in his headH7217, and of the otherH317 which came upH5559, and beforeH4481+H6925 whom threeH8532 fellH5308; even of that hornH7162 thatH1797 had eyesH5870, and a mouthH6433 that spakeH4449 very great thingsH7260, whose lookH2376 was moreH4481 stoutH7229 thanH4481 his fellowsH2273.
And he shall confirmH1396 the covenantH1285 with manyH7227 for oneH259 weekH7620: and in the midstH2677 of the weekH7620 he shall cause the sacrificeH2077 and the oblationH4503 to ceaseH7673, and for the overspreadingH3671 of abominationsH8251 he shall make it desolateH8074, even until the consummationH3617, and that determinedH2782 shall be pouredH5413 upon the desolateH8074. {the covenant: or, a covenant} {for the…: or, with the abominable armies} {the desolate: or, the desolator}
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
And as I was consideringH995, behold, an heH5795 goatH6842 cameH935 from the westH4628 on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776, and touchedH5060 not the groundH776: and the goatH6842 had a notableH2380 hornH7161 between his eyesH5869. {touched…: or, none touched him in the earth} {a notable…: Heb. a horn of sight}
And he cameH935 to the ramH352 that hadH1167 two hornsH7161, which I had seenH7200 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180, and ranH7323 unto him in the furyH2534 of his powerH3581.
And I sawH7200 him comeH5060 close untoH681 the ramH352, and he was moved with cholerH4843 against him, and smoteH5221 the ramH352, and brakeH7665 his twoH8147 hornsH7161: and there was no powerH3581 in the ramH352 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, but he cast him downH7993 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon him: and there was none that could deliverH5337 the ramH352 out of his handH3027.
Therefore the heH6842 goatH5795 waxed veryH3966 greatH1431: and when he was strongH6105, the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and for it came upH5927 fourH702 notable onesH2380 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
AndG2532 he criedG2896 mightilyG2479 withG1722 a strongG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 the greatG3173 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, andG2532 is becomeG1096 the habitationG2732 of devilsG1142, andG2532 the holdG5438 of everyG3956 foulG169 spiritG4151, andG2532 a cageG5438 of everyG3956 uncleanG169 andG2532 hatefulG3404 birdG3732.
ForG3754 allG3956 nationsG1484 have drunkG4095 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committed fornicationG4203 withG3326 herG846, andG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 are waxed richG4147 throughG1537 the abundanceG1411 of herG846 delicaciesG4764. {abundance: or, power}
AndG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ComeG1831 out ofG1537 herG846, myG3450 peopleG2992, thatG3363 ye beG4790 notG3363 partakersG4790 of herG846 sinsG266, andG2532 thatG3363 ye receiveG2983 notG3363 ofG1537 herG846 plaguesG4127.
ForG3754 herG846 sinsG266 have reachedG190+G2853 untoG891 heavenG3772, andG2532 GodG2316 hath rememberedG3421 herG846 iniquitiesG92.
RewardG591 herG846 evenG2532 asG5613 sheG846+G3778 rewardedG591 youG5213, andG2532 doubleG1363 unto herG846 doubleG1362 according toG2596 herG846 worksG2041: inG1722 the cupG4221 whichG3739 she hath filledG2767 fillG2767 to herG846 doubleG1362.
How muchG3745 she hath glorifiedG1392 herselfG1438, andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763, so muchG5118 tormentG929 andG2532 sorrowG3997 giveG1325 herG846: forG3754 she saithG3004 inG1722 herG846 heartG2588, I sitG2521 a queenG938, andG2532 amG1510 noG3756 widowG5503, andG2532 shall seeG1492 noG3364 sorrowG3997.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 shallG2240 herG846 plaguesG4127 comeG2240 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250, deathG2288, andG2532 mourningG3997, andG2532 famineG3042; andG2532 she shall be utterly burnedG2618 withG1722 fireG4442: forG3754 strongG2478 is the LordG2962 GodG2316 whoG3588 judgethG2919 herG846.
AndG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, whoG3588 have committed fornicationG4203 andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763 withG3326 herG846, shall bewailG2799 herG846, andG2532 lamentG2875 forG1909 herG846, whenG3752 they shall seeG991 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451,
StandingG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897, that mightyG2478 cityG4172! forG3754 inG1722 oneG3391 hourG5610 isG2064 thyG4675 judgmentG2920 comeG2064.
AndG2532 the merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 shall weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996 overG1909 herG846; forG3754 no manG3762 buyethG59 theirG846 merchandiseG1117 any moreG3765:
The merchandiseG1117 of goldG5557, andG2532 silverG696, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 of pearlsG3135, andG2532 fine linenG1040, andG2532 purpleG4209, andG2532 silkG4596, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 allG3956 thyineG2367 woodG3586, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 of ivoryG1661, andG2532 all mannerG3956 vesselsG4632 ofG1537 most preciousG5093 woodG3586, andG2532 of brassG5475, andG2532 ironG4604, andG2532 marbleG3139, {thyine: or, sweet}
AndG2532 cinnamonG2792, andG2532 odoursG2368, andG2532 ointmentsG3464, andG2532 frankincenseG3030, andG2532 wineG3631, andG2532 oilG1637, andG2532 fine flourG4585, andG2532 wheatG4621, andG2532 beastsG2934, andG2532 sheepG4263, andG2532 horsesG2462, andG2532 chariotsG4480, andG2532 slavesG4983, andG2532 soulsG5590 of menG444. {slaves: or, bodies}
AndG2532 the fruitsG3703 that thyG4675 soulG5590 lusted afterG1939 are departedG565 fromG575 theeG4675, andG2532 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 were daintyG3045 andG2532 goodlyG2986 are departedG565 fromG575 theeG4675, andG2532 thou shalt findG2147 themG846 no moreG3765 at allG3364.
The merchantsG1713 of these thingsG5130, whichG3588 were made richG4147 byG575 herG846, shall standG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, weepingG2799 andG2532 wailingG3996,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172, that was clothed inG4016 fine linenG1039, andG2532 purpleG4210, andG2532 scarletG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 withG1722 goldG5557, andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 pearlsG3135!
ForG3754 in oneG3391 hourG5610 so greatG5118 richesG4149 is come to noughtG2049. AndG2532 everyG3956 shipmasterG2942, andG2532 allG3956 the companyG3658 inG1909 shipsG4143, andG2532 sailorsG3492, andG2532 as many asG3745 tradeG2038 by seaG2281, stoodG2476 afarG3113 offG575,
AndG2532 criedG2896 when they sawG3708 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 city is likeG3664 unto this greatG3173 cityG4172!
AndG2532 they castG906 dustG5522 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776, andG2532 criedG2896, weepingG2799 andG2532 wailingG3996, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172, whereinG1722+G3739 were made richG4147 allG3956 that hadG2192 shipsG4143 inG1722 the seaG2281 by reason ofG1537 herG846 costlinessG5094! forG3754 in oneG3391 hourG5610 is she made desolateG2049.
RejoiceG2165 overG1909 herG846, thou heavenG3772, andG2532 ye holyG40 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396; forG3754 GodG2316 hath avengedG2917+G2919 youG5216 onG1537 herG846.
