And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 that MosesH4872 delayedH954 to come downH3381 out of the mountH2022, the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH6950 unto AaronH175, and saidH559 unto him, UpH6965, makeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us; for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we wotH3045 not what is become of him.
And AaronH175 saidH559 unto them, Break offH6561 the goldenH2091 earringsH5141, which are in the earsH241 of your wivesH802, of your sonsH1121, and of your daughtersH1323, and bringH935 them unto me.
And all the peopleH5971 brake offH6561 the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 which were in their earsH241, and broughtH935 them unto AaronH175.
And he receivedH3947 them at their handH3027, and fashionedH6696 it with a graving toolH2747, after he had madeH6213 it a moltenH4541 calfH5695: and they saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which broughtH5927 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And when AaronH175 sawH7200 it, he builtH1129 an altarH4196 beforeH6440 it; and AaronH175 made proclamationH7121, and saidH559, To morrowH4279 is a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068.
And they rose up earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and broughtH5066 peace offeringsH8002; and the peopleH5971 satH3427 down to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and rose upH6965 to playH6711.
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872, GoH3212, get thee downH3381; for thy peopleH5971, which thou broughtestH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, have corruptedH7843 themselves:
They have turnedH5493 aside quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which I commandedH6680 them: they have madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and have worshippedH7812 it, and have sacrificedH2076 thereunto, and saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which have brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and, behold, it is a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971:
Now therefore let me aloneH3240, that my wrathH639 may wax hotH2734 against them, and that I may consumeH3615 them: and I will makeH6213 of thee a greatH1419 nationH1471.
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.
And the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 which he thoughtH1696 to doH6213 unto his peopleH5971.
And MosesH4872 turnedH6437, and went downH3381 from the mountH2022, and the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of the testimonyH5715 were in his handH3027: the tablesH3871 were writtenH3789 on bothH8147 their sidesH5676; on the one side and on the other were they writtenH3789.
And the tablesH3871 were the workH4639 of GodH430, and the writingH4385 was the writingH4385 of GodH430, gravenH2801 upon the tablesH3871.
And when JoshuaH3091 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 as they shoutedH7452, he saidH559 unto MosesH4872, There is a noiseH6963 of warH4421 in the campH4264.
And he saidH559, It is not the voiceH6963 of them that shoutH6030 for masteryH1369, neither is it the voiceH6963 of them that cryH6030 for being overcomeH2476: but the noiseH6963 of them that singH6031 do I hearH8085. {being…: Heb. weakness}
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nighH7126 unto the campH4264, that he sawH7200 the calfH5695, and the dancingH4246: and Moses'H4872 angerH639 waxed hotH2734, and he castH7993 the tablesH3871 out of his handsH3027, and brakeH7665 them beneathH8478 the mountH2022.
And he tookH3947 the calfH5695 which they had madeH6213, and burntH8313 it in the fireH784, and groundH2912 it to powderH1854, and strawedH2219 it uponH6440 the waterH4325, and made the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 of it.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, What didH6213 this peopleH5971 unto thee, that thou hast broughtH935 so greatH1419 a sinH2401 upon them?
And AaronH175 saidH559, Let not the angerH639 of my lordH113 wax hotH2734: thou knowestH3045 the peopleH5971, that they are set on mischiefH7451.
For they saidH559 unto me, MakeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us: for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we wotH3045 not what is become of him.
And I saidH559 unto them, Whosoever hath any goldH2091, let them breakH6561 it off. So they gaveH5414 it me: then I castH7993 it into the fireH784, and there came outH3318 this calfH5695.
And when MosesH4872 sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were nakedH6544; (for AaronH175 had made them nakedH6544 unto their shameH8103 among their enemiesH6965:) {their enemies: Heb. those that rose up against them}
Then MosesH4872 stoodH5975 in the gateH8179 of the campH4264, and saidH559, Who is on the LORD'SH3068 side? let him come unto me. And all the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 gatheredH622 themselves together unto him.
And he saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, PutH7760 every manH376 his swordH2719 by his sideH3409, and goH5674 in and outH7725 from gateH8179 to gateH8179 throughout the campH4264, and slayH2026 every manH376 his brotherH251, and every manH376 his companionH7453, and every manH376 his neighbourH7138.
And the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872: and there fellH5307 of the peopleH5971 that dayH3117 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376.
For MosesH4872 had saidH559, Consecrate yourselvesH4390+H3027 to dayH3117 to the LORDH3068, evenH3588 every manH376 upon his sonH1121, and upon his brotherH251; that he may bestowH5414 upon you a blessingH1293 this dayH3117. {For Moses…: or, And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, because every man hath been against his brother, etc} {Consecrate…: Heb. Fill your hands}
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401: and now I will go upH5927 unto the LORDH3068; peradventureH194 I shall make an atonementH3722 forH1157 your sinH2403.
And MosesH4872 returnedH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, OhH577, this peopleH5971 have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401, and have madeH6213 them godsH430 of goldH2091.
Yet now, if thou wilt forgiveH5375 their sinH2403--; and if not, blotH4229 me, I pray thee, out of thy bookH5612 which thou hast writtenH3789.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WhosoeverH834 hath sinnedH2398 against me, him will I blot outH4229 of my bookH5612.
Therefore now goH3212, leadH5148 the peopleH5971 unto the place of which I have spokenH1696 unto thee: behold, mine AngelH4397 shall goH3212 beforeH6440 thee: nevertheless in the dayH3117 when I visitH6485 I will visitH6485 their sinH2403 upon them.
And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5062 the peopleH5971, becauseH834 they madeH6213 the calfH5695, whichH834 AaronH175 madeH6213.
And all they that were aboutH5439 them strengthenedH2388 their handsH3027 with vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, with goldH2091, with goodsH7399, and with beastsH929, and with precious thingsH4030, beside all that was willingly offeredH5068. {strengthened…: that is, helped them}
Also CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 brought forthH3318 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, which NebuchadnezzarH5019 had brought forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, and had putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of his godsH430;
Now afterH310 these thingsH1697, in the reignH4438 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, EzraH5830 the sonH1121 of SeraiahH8304, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518,
The sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285,
The sonH1121 of AmariahH568, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of MeraiothH4812,
The sonH1121 of ZerahiahH2228, the sonH1121 of UzziH5813, the sonH1121 of BukkiH1231,
The sonH1121 of AbishuaH50, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the chiefH7218 priestH3548:
This EzraH5830 went upH5927 from BabylonH894; and he was a readyH4106 scribeH5608 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 had givenH5414: and the kingH4428 grantedH5414 him all his requestH1246, according to the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 upon him.
And there went upH5927 some of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778, and the NethinimsH5411, unto JerusalemH3389, in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428.
And he cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, which was in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 of the kingH4428.
For upon the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 beganH3246 he to go upH4609 from BabylonH894, and on the firstH259 day of the fifthH2549 monthH2320 cameH935 he to JerusalemH3389, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of his GodH430 upon him. {began…: Heb. was the foundation of the going up}
For EzraH5830 had preparedH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and to doH6213 it, and to teachH3925 in IsraelH3478 statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941.
Now this is the copyH6572 of the letterH5406 that the kingH4428 ArtaxerxesH783 gaveH5414 unto EzraH5830 the priestH3548, the scribeH5608, even a scribeH5608 of the wordsH1697 of the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and of his statutesH2706 to IsraelH3478.
ArtaxerxesH783, kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto EzraH5831 the priestH3549, a scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, perfectH1585 peace, and at such a timeH3706. {unto…: or, to Ezra the priest, a perfect scribe of the law of the God of heaven, peace, etc}
IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, that allH3606 they ofH4481 the peopleH5972 of IsraelH3479, and of his priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, in my realmH4437, which are minded of their own freewillH5069 to go upH1946 to JerusalemH3390, goH1946 with theeH5974.
ForasmuchH1768+H6903 asH3606 thou art sentH7972 ofH4481+H6925 the kingH4430, and of his sevenH7655 counsellorsH3272, to enquireH1240 concerningH5922 JudahH3061 and JerusalemH3390, according to the lawH1882 of thy GodH426 which is in thine handH3028; {of the king: Chaldee, from before the king}
And to carryH2987 the silverH3702 and goldH1722, which the kingH4430 and his counsellorsH3272 have freely offeredH5069 unto the GodH426 of IsraelH3479, whoseH1768 habitationH4907 is in JerusalemH3390,
And allH3606 the silverH3702 and goldH1722 that thou canst findH7912 in allH3606 the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, withH5974 the freewill offeringH5069 of the peopleH5972, and of the priestsH3549, offering willinglyH5069 for the houseH1005 of their GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390:
ThatH3606+H6903 thou mayest buyH7066 speedilyH629 with thisH1836 moneyH3702 bullocksH8450, ramsH1798, lambsH563, with their meat offeringsH4504 and their drink offeringsH5261, and offerH7127 themH1994 uponH5922 the altarH4056 of the houseH1005 of your GodH426 which is in JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoeverH4101+H1768 shall seem goodH3191 to thee, and toH5922 thy brethrenH252, to doH5648 with the restH7606 of the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, that doH5648 after the willH7470 of your GodH426.
The vesselsH3984 also that are givenH3052 thee for the serviceH6402 of the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, those deliverH8000 thou beforeH6925 the GodH426 of JerusalemH3390.
And whatsoever moreH7606 shall be needfulH2819 for the houseH1005 of thy GodH426, which thou shalt have occasionH5308 to bestowH5415, bestowH5415 it out ofH4481 the king'sH4430 treasureH1596 houseH1005.
And IH4481, even IH576 ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430, do makeH7761 a decreeH2942 to allH3606 the treasurersH1490 which are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, that whatsoever EzraH5831 the priestH3549, the scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, shall requireH7593 of you, it be doneH5648 speedilyH629,
UntoH5705 an hundredH3969 talentsH3604 of silverH3702, and to an hundredH3969 measuresH3734 of wheatH2591, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of wineH2562, and to an hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of oilH4887, and saltH4416 withoutH3809 prescribingH3792 how much. {measures: Chaldee, cors}
WhatsoeverH3606 is commanded byH2941+H4481 the GodH426 of heavenH8065, let it be diligentlyH149 doneH5648 for the houseH1005 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065: forH1768 whyH4101 should there beH1934 wrathH7109 againstH5922 the realmH4437 of the kingH4430 and his sonsH1123? {Whatsoever…: Chaldee, Whatsoever is of the decree}
Also we certifyH3046 you, that touching anyH3606 of the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singersH2171, portersH8652, NethinimsH5412, or ministersH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426, it shall notH3809 be lawfulH7990 to imposeH7412 tollH4061, tributeH1093, or customH1983, uponH5922 them.
And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1934+H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king'sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389:
And hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto me beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and before all the king'sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 as the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430 was upon me, and I gathered togetherH6908 out of IsraelH3478 chief menH7218 to go upH5927 with me.
And it came to pass in the monthH2320 NisanH5212, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that wineH3196 was beforeH6440 him: and I took upH5375 the wineH3196, and gaveH5414 it unto the kingH4428. Now I had not been beforetime sadH7451 in his presenceH6440.
Wherefore the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me, Why is thy countenanceH6440 sadH7451, seeing thou art not sickH2470? this is nothing else but sorrowH7455 of heartH3820. Then I was veryH3966 soreH7235 afraidH3372,
And saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Let the kingH4428 liveH2421 for everH5769: why should not my countenanceH6440 be sadH3415, when the cityH5892, the placeH1004 of my fathers'H1 sepulchresH6913, lieth wasteH2720, and the gatesH8179 thereof are consumedH398 with fireH784?
Then the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me, For what dost thou make requestH1245? So I prayedH6419 to the GodH430 of heavenH8064.
And I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, and if thy servantH5650 have found favourH3190 in thy sightH6440, that thou wouldest sendH7971 me unto JudahH3063, unto the cityH5892 of my fathers'H1 sepulchresH6913, that I may buildH1129 it.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me, (the queenH7694 also sittingH3427 by himH681,) For how long shall thy journeyH4109 be? and when wilt thou returnH7725? So it pleasedH3190+H6440 the kingH4428 to sendH7971 me; and I setH5414 him a timeH2165. {queen: Heb. wife}
Moreover I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let lettersH107 be givenH5414 me to the governorsH6346 beyondH5676 the riverH5104, that they may convey me overH5674 till I comeH935 into JudahH3063;
And a letterH107 unto AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king'sH4428 forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 me timberH6086 to make beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of the palaceH1002 which appertained to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enter intoH935. And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 me, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 upon me.
Then I cameH935 to the governorsH6346 beyondH5676 the riverH5104, and gaveH5414 them the king'sH4428 lettersH107. Now the kingH4428 had sentH7971 captainsH8269 of the armyH2428 and horsemenH6571 with me.
When SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772, and TobiahH2900 the servantH5650, the AmmoniteH5984, heardH8085 of it, it grievedH3415 them exceedinglyH7451+H1419 that there was comeH935 a manH120 to seekH1245 the welfareH2896 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
So I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and was there threeH7969 daysH3117.
And I aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, I and someH4592 fewH4592 menH582 with me; neither toldH5046 I any manH120 what my GodH430 had putH5414 in my heartH3820 to doH6213 at JerusalemH3389: neither was there any beastH929 with me, save the beastH929 that I rode uponH7392.
And I went outH3318 by nightH3915 by the gateH8179 of the valleyH1516, even beforeH6440 the dragonH8577 wellH5869+H5886, and to the dungH830 portH8179, and viewedH7663+H7665 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389, which were broken downH6555, and the gatesH8179 thereof were consumedH398 with fireH784.
Then I went onH5674 to the gateH8179 of the fountainH5869, and to the king'sH4428 poolH1295: but there was no placeH4725 for the beastH929 that was under me to passH5674.
Then went I upH5927 in the nightH3915 by the brookH5158, and viewedH7663+H7665 the wallH2346, and turned backH7725, and enteredH935 by the gateH8179 of the valleyH1516, and so returnedH7725.
And the rulersH5461 knewH3045 not whither I wentH1980, or what I didH6213; neither had I as yetH3651 toldH5046 it to the JewsH3064, nor to the priestsH3548, nor to the noblesH2715, nor to the rulersH5461, nor to the restH3499 that didH6213 the workH4399.
Then saidH559 I unto them, Ye seeH7200 the distressH7451 that we are in, how JerusalemH3389 lieth wasteH2720, and the gatesH8179 thereof are burnedH3341 with fireH784: comeH3212, and let us build upH1129 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, that we be no more a reproachH2781.
Then I toldH5046 them of the handH3027 of my GodH430 which was goodH2896 upon me; as also the king'sH4428 wordsH1697 that he had spokenH559 unto me. And they saidH559, Let us rise upH6965 and buildH1129. So they strengthenedH2388 their handsH3027 for this goodH2896 work.
But when SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772, and TobiahH2900 the servantH5650, the AmmoniteH5984, and GeshemH1654 the ArabianH6163, heardH8085 it, they laughed us to scornH3932, and despisedH959 us, and saidH559, What is this thingH1697 that ye doH6213? will ye rebelH4775 against the kingH4428?
Then answeredH7725+H1697 I them, and saidH559 unto them, The GodH430 of heavenH8064, he will prosperH6743 us; therefore we his servantsH5650 will ariseH6965 and buildH1129: but ye have no portionH2506, nor rightH6666, nor memorialH2146, in JerusalemH3389.
And a letterH107 unto AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king'sH4428 forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 me timberH6086 to make beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of the palaceH1002 which appertained to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enter intoH935. And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 me, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 upon me.
ThenG3767 gatheredG4863 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 a councilG4892, andG2532 saidG3004, WhatG5101 do weG4160? forG3754 thisG3778 manG444 doethG4160 manyG4183 miraclesG4592.
IfG1437 we letG863 himG846 thusG3779 aloneG863, allG3956 men will believeG4100 onG1519 himG846: andG2532 the RomansG4514 shall comeG2064 andG2532 take awayG142 bothG2532 ourG2257 placeG5117 andG2532 nationG1484.
Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213 at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752+H7885 shall pass throughH5674+H5674, it shall not comeH935 unto us: for we have madeH7760 liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH1348, to the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, whose gloriousH6643 beautyH8597 is a fadingH5034 flowerH6731, which are on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleysH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986 with wineH3196! {overcome: Heb. broken}
Behold, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strong oneH533, which as a tempestH2230 of hailH1259 and a destroyingH6986 stormH8178, as a floodH2230 of mightyH3524 watersH4325 overflowingH7857, shall cast downH3240 to the earthH776 with the handH3027.
The crownH5850 of prideH1348, the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, shall be troddenH7429 under feetH7272: {under…: Heb. with feet}
And the gloriousH6643 beautyH8597, which is on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleyH1516, shall be a fadingH5034 flowerH6733, and as the hasty fruitH1061 before the summerH7019; which when he that lookethH7200 upon it seethH7200, while it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH1104. {eateth: Heb. swalloweth}
In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 be for a crownH5850 of gloryH6643, and for a diademH6843 of beautyH8597, unto the residueH7605 of his peopleH5971,
And for a spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941 to him that sittethH3427 in judgmentH4941, and for strengthH1369 to them that turnH7725 the battleH4421 to the gateH8179.
But theyH428 also have erredH7686 through wineH3196, and through strong drinkH7941 are out of the wayH8582; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686 through strong drinkH7941, they are swallowed upH1104 ofH4480 wineH3196, they are out of the wayH8582 through strong drinkH7941; they errH7686 in visionH7203, they stumbleH6328 in judgmentH6417.
For all tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of vomitH6892 and filthinessH6675, so that there is no placeH4725 clean.
Whom shall he teachH3384 knowledgeH1844? and whom shall he make to understandH995 doctrineH8052? them that are weanedH1580 from the milkH2461, and drawnH6267 from the breastsH7699. {doctrine: Heb. the hearing?}
For preceptH6673 must be upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191: {must be: or, hath been}
For with stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971. {stammering…: Heb. stammerings of lip} {will…: or, he hath spoken}
To whom he saidH559, This is the restH4496 wherewith ye may cause the wearyH5889 to restH5117; and this is the refreshingH4774: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085.
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was unto them preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191; that they might goH3212, and fallH3782 backwardH268, and be brokenH7665, and snaredH3369, and takenH3920.
Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH582, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.
Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213 at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752+H7885 shall pass throughH5674+H5674, it shall not comeH935 unto us: for we have madeH7760 liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760 to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding placeH5643.
And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulledH3722, and your agreementH2380 with hellH7585 shall not standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall pass throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it. {trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it}
From the timeH1767 that it goeth forthH5674 it shall takeH3947 you: for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it pass overH5674, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be a vexationH2113 only to understandH995 the reportH8052. {to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
For the bedH4702 is shorterH7114 than that a man can stretchH8311 himself on it: and the coveringH4541 narrowerH6887 than that he can wrapH3664 himself in it.
For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264 as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639; and bring to passH5647 his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887, lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388: for I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782 upon the whole earthH776.
Give ye earH238, and hearH8085 my voiceH6963; hearkenH7181, and hearH8085 my speechH565.
Doth the plowmanH2790 plowH2790 all dayH3117 to sowH2232? doth he openH6605 and break the clodsH7702 of his groundH127?
When he hath made plainH7737 the faceH6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroadH6327 the fitchesH7100, and scatterH2236 the cumminH3646, and castH7760 in the principalH7795 wheatH2406 and the appointedH5567 barleyH8184 and the rieH3698 in their placeH1367? {the principal…: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}
For his GodH430 doth instructH3256 him to discretionH4941, and doth teachH3384 him. {For…: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}
For the fitchesH7100 are not threshedH1758 with a threshing instrumentH2742, neither is a cartH5699 wheelH212 turned aboutH5437 upon the cumminH3646; but the fitchesH7100 are beaten outH2251 with a staffH4294, and the cumminH3646 with a rodH7626.
BreadH3899 corn is bruisedH1854; because he will not everH5331 be threshingH156+H1758 it, nor breakH2000 it with the wheelH1536 of his cartH5699, nor bruiseH1854 it with his horsemenH6571.
This also cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which is wonderfulH6381 in counselH6098, and excellentH1431 in workingH8454.
He will swallow upH1104 deathH4194 in victoryH5331; and the LordH136 GODH3069 will wipe awayH4229 tearsH1832 from off all facesH6440; and the rebukeH2781 of his peopleH5971 shall he take awayH5493 from off all the earthH776: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
For though thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, yet a remnantH7605 of them shall returnH7725: the consumptionH3631 decreedH2782 shall overflowH7857 with righteousnessH6666. {of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887, lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388: for I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782 upon the whole earthH776.
