NowG1161 there wereG2258 inG2596 the churchG1577 that wasG5607 atG1722 AntiochG490 certainG5100 prophetsG4396 andG2532 teachersG1320; asG5037 BarnabasG921, andG2532 SimeonG4826 that was calledG2564 NigerG3526, andG2532 LuciusG3066 of CyreneG2956, andG5037 ManaenG3127, which had been brought upG4939 with HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076, andG2532 SaulG4569. {which…: or, Herod's foster brother}
AsG1161 theyG846 ministeredG3008 to the LordG2962, andG2532 fastedG3522, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 saidG2036+G1211, SeparateG873 meG3427+G5037 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 forG1519 the workG2041 whereuntoG3739 I have calledG4341 themG846.
AndG5119 when they had fastedG3522 andG2532 prayedG4336, andG2532 laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846, they sent them awayG630.
SoG3303+G3767 theyG3778, being sent forthG1599 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, departedG2718 untoG1519 SeleuciaG4581; and fromG1564 thenceG5037 they sailedG636 toG1519 CyprusG2954.
AndG2532 when they wereG1096 atG1722 SalamisG4529, they preachedG2605 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 of the JewsG2453: andG1161 they hadG2192 alsoG2532 JohnG2491 to their ministerG5257.
AndG1161 when they had gone throughG1330 the isleG3520 untoG891 PaphosG3974, they foundG2147 a certainG5100 sorcererG3097, a false prophetG5578, a JewG2453, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was BarjesusG919:
WhichG3739 wasG2258 withG4862 the deputy of the countryG446, SergiusG4588 PaulusG3972, a prudentG4908 manG435; whoG3778 calledG4341 for BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569, and desiredG1934 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 ElymasG1681 the sorcererG3097 (forG1063 soG3779 is hisG846 nameG3686 by interpretationG3177) withstoodG436 themG846, seekingG2212 to turn awayG1294 the deputyG446 fromG575 the faithG4102.
ThenG1161 SaulG4569, (whoG3588 alsoG2532 is called PaulG3972,) filled withG4130 the HolyG40 GhostG4151+G2532, set his eyesG816 onG1519 himG846,
And saidG2036, OG5599 fullG4134 of allG3956 subtiltyG1388 andG2532 allG3956 mischiefG4468, thou childG5207 of the devilG1228, thou enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, wilt thouG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to pervertG1294 the rightG2117 waysG3598 of the LordG2962?
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 thou shalt beG2071 blindG5185, notG3361 seeingG991 the sunG2246 forG891 a seasonG2540. AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 there fellG1968 onG1909 himG846 a mistG887 andG2532 a darknessG4655; andG2532 he went aboutG4013 seekingG2212 some to lead him by the handG5497.
ThenG5119 the deputyG446, when he sawG1492 what was doneG1096, believedG4100, being astonishedG1605 atG1909 the doctrineG1322 of the LordG2962.
NowG1161 when PaulG3972 and his companyG4012 loosedG321 fromG575 PaphosG3974, they cameG2064 toG1519 PergaG4011 in PamphyliaG3828: andG1161 JohnG2491 departingG672 fromG575 themG846 returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2414.
ButG1161 when theyG846 departedG1330 fromG575 PergaG4011, they cameG3854 toG1519 AntiochG490 in PisidiaG4099, andG2532 wentG1525 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 on the sabbathG4521 dayG2250, and sat downG2523.
AndG1161 afterG3326 the readingG320 of the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 the rulers of the synagogueG752 sentG649 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, Ye menG435 and brethrenG80, ifG1487 ye haveG2076+G1722+G5213 any wordG3056 of exhortationG3874 forG4314 the peopleG2992, say onG3004.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stood upG450, andG2532 beckoningG2678 with his handG5495 saidG2036, MenG435 of IsraelG2475, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 GodG2316, give audienceG191.
The GodG2316 of thisG5127 peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474 choseG1586 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 exaltedG5312 the peopleG2992 whenG1722 they dwelt as strangersG3940 inG1722 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, andG2532 withG3326 an highG5308 armG1023 brought heG1806 themG846 out ofG1537 itG846.
AndG2532 aboutG5613 the timeG5550 of forty yearsG5063 suffered heG5159 theirG846 mannersG5159 inG1722 the wildernessG2048. {suffered…: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child}
AndG2532 when he had destroyedG2507 sevenG2033 nationsG1484 inG1722 the landG1093 of ChanaanG5477, he dividedG2624 theirG846 landG1093 to themG846 by lotG2624.
AndG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 he gaveG1325 unto them judgesG2923 aboutG5613 the space of four hundredG5071 andG2532 fiftyG4004 yearsG2094, untilG2193 SamuelG4545 the prophetG4396.
And afterwardG2547 they desiredG154 a kingG935: andG2532 GodG2316 gaveG1325 unto themG846 SaulG4549 the sonG5207 of CisG2797, a manG435 ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, by the space of fortyG5062 yearsG2094.
AndG2532 when he had removedG3179 himG846, he raised upG1453 unto themG846 DavidG1138 to beG1519 their kingG935; to whomG3739 alsoG2532 he gave testimonyG3140, and saidG2036, I have foundG2147 DavidG1138 the son of JesseG2421, a manG435 afterG2596 mine ownG3450 heartG2588, whichG3739 shall fulfilG4160 allG3956 myG3450 willG2307.
OfG575 this man'sG5127 seedG4690 hathG1453 GodG2316 accordingG2596 to his promiseG1860 raisedG1453 unto IsraelG2474 a SaviourG4990, JesusG2424:
When JohnG2491 had first preachedG4296 beforeG4253 hisG846 comingG4383+G1529 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474.
AndG1161 asG5613 JohnG2491 fulfilledG4137 his courseG1408, he saidG3004, WhomG5101 think yeG5282 that IG3165 amG1511? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 he. ButG235, beholdG2400, there cometh oneG2064 afterG3326 meG1691, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 of his feetG4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to looseG3089.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, childrenG5207 of the stockG1085 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 whosoever amongG1722 youG5213 fearethG5399 GodG2316, to youG5213 isG649 the wordG3056 of thisG5026 salvationG4991 sentG649.
ForG1063 they that dwellG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 theirG846 rulersG758, because they knewG50 himG5126 notG50, nor yetG2532 the voicesG5456 of the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 are readG314+G2596 everyG3956 sabbath dayG4521, they have fulfilledG4137 them in condemningG2919 him.
AndG2532 though they foundG2147 noG3367 causeG156 of deathG2288 in him, yet desired theyG154 PilateG4091 that heG846 should be slainG337.
AndG1161 whenG5613 they had fulfilledG5055 allG537 that was writtenG1125 ofG4012 himG846, they took him downG2507 fromG575 the treeG3586, and laidG5087 him inG1519 a sepulchreG3419.
ButG1161 GodG2316 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498:
And heG3739 was seenG3700 manyG1909+G4119 daysG2250 of them which came up withG4872 himG846 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, whoG3748 areG1526 hisG846 witnessesG3144 untoG4314 the peopleG2992.
AndG2532 weG2249 declareG2097 unto youG5209 glad tidingsG2097, how thatG3754 the promiseG1860 which was madeG1096 untoG4314 the fathersG3962,
GodG2316 hath fulfilledG1603 the sameG5026 unto usG2254 theirG846 childrenG5043, in that he hath raised upG450 JesusG2424 againG450; asG5613 it isG1125 alsoG2532 writtenG1125 inG1722 the secondG1208 psalmG5568, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 have IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571.
AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 toG3195 returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779+G3754, I will giveG1325 youG5213 the sureG4103 merciesG3741 of DavidG1138. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 psalm, Thou shaltG1325 notG3756 sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ForG1063+G3303 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962, andG2532 sawG1492 corruptionG1312: {after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
ButG1161 he, whomG3739 GodG2316 raised againG1453, sawG1492 noG3756 corruptionG1312.
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG5127 is preachedG2605 unto youG5213 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
AndG2532 byG1722 himG5129 allG3956 that believeG4100 are justifiedG1344 fromG575 all thingsG3956, from whichG3739 ye couldG1410 notG3756 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475.
BewareG991 thereforeG3767, lest thatG3361 comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209, which is spoken ofG2046 inG1722 the prophetsG4396;
BeholdG1492, ye despisersG2707, andG2532 wonderG2296, andG2532 perishG853: forG3754 IG1473 workG2038 a workG2041 inG1722 yourG5216 daysG2250, a workG2041 whichG3739 ye shallG4100 in no wiseG3364 believeG4100, thoughG1437 a manG5100 declare itG1555 unto youG5213.
AndG1161 when the JewsG2453 were goneG1826 out ofG1537 the synagogueG4864, the GentilesG1484 besoughtG3870 that theseG5023 wordsG4487 might be preachedG2980 to themG846+G1519 the nextG3342 sabbathG4521. {the next…: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between}
NowG1161 when the congregationG4864 was broken upG3089, manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 andG2532 religiousG4576 proselytesG4339 followedG190 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921: whoG3748, speakingG4354 to themG846, persuadedG3982 themG846 to continueG1961 in the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 the nextG2064 sabbath dayG4521 cameG4863 almostG4975 the wholeG3956 cityG4172 togetherG4863 to hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 when the JewsG2453 sawG1492 the multitudesG3793, they were filledG4130 with envyG2205, andG2532 spake againstG483 those things which were spokenG3004 byG5259 PaulG3972, contradictingG483 andG2532 blasphemingG987.
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921 waxed boldG3955, and saidG2036, It wasG2258 necessaryG316 that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 shouldG2980 firstG4412 have been spokenG2980 to youG5213: butG1161 seeingG1894 ye putG683 itG846 from youG683, andG2532 judgeG2919 yourselvesG1438 unworthyG3756+G514 of everlastingG166 lifeG2222, loG2400, we turnG4762 toG1519 the GentilesG1484.
ForG1063 soG3779 hathG1781 the LordG2962 commandedG1781 usG2254, saying, I have setG5087 theeG4571 to beG1519 a lightG5457 of the GentilesG1484, that thouG4571 shouldest beG1511 forG1519 salvationG4991 untoG2193 the endsG2078 of the earthG1093.
AndG1161 when the GentilesG1484 heard thisG191, they were gladG5463, andG2532 glorifiedG1392 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962: andG2532 as many asG3745 wereG2258 ordainedG5021 toG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222 believedG4100.
AndG1161 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 was publishedG1308 throughoutG1223 allG3650 the regionG5561.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 stirred upG3951 the devoutG4576 andG2532 honourableG2158 womenG1135, andG2532 the chief menG4413 of the cityG4172, andG2532 raisedG1892 persecutionG1375 againstG1909 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921, andG2532 expelledG1544 themG846 out ofG575 theirG846 coastsG3725.
ButG1161 they shook offG1621 the dustG2868 of theirG846 feetG4228 againstG1909 themG846, and cameG2064 untoG1519 IconiumG2430.
AndG1161 the disciplesG3101 were filled withG4137 joyG5479, andG2532 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
Why do the heathenH1471 rageH7283, and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897 a vain thingH7385? {rage: or, tumultuously assemble} {imagine: Heb. meditate}
The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320 themselves, and the rulersH7336 take counselH3245 togetherH3162, against the LORDH3068, and against his anointedH4899, saying,
Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunderH5423, and cast awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
Then shall he speakH1696 unto them in his wrathH639, and vexH926 them in his sore displeasureH2740. {vex: or, trouble}
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AskH7592 of me, and I shall giveH5414 thee the heathenH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
Be wiseH7919 now therefore, O ye kingsH4428: be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
ServeH5647 the LORDH3068 with fearH3374, and rejoiceH1523 with tremblingH7461.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
Be wiseH7919 now therefore, O ye kingsH4428: be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.
ServeH5647 the LORDH3068 with fearH3374, and rejoiceH1523 with tremblingH7461.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. GodH430 standethH5324 in the congregationH5712 of the mightyH410; he judgethH8199 amongH7130 the godsH430. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
How long will ye judgeH8199 unjustlyH5766, and acceptH5375 the personsH6440 of the wickedH7563? SelahH5542.
DefendH8199 the poorH1800 and fatherlessH3490: do justiceH6663 to the afflictedH6041 and needyH7326. {Defend: Heb. Judge}
DeliverH6403 the poorH1800 and needyH34: ridH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
They knowH3045 not, neither will they understandH995; they walkH1980 on in darknessH2825: all the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776 are out of courseH4131. {out…: Heb. moved}
I have saidH559, Ye are godsH430; and all of you are childrenH1121 of the most HighH5945.
ButH403 ye shall dieH4191 like menH120, and fallH5307 like oneH259 of the princesH8269.
AriseH6965, O GodH430, judgeH8199 the earthH776: for thou shalt inheritH5157 all nationsH1471.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon MuthlabbenH4192+H1121, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I will praiseH3034 thee, O LORDH3068, with my whole heartH3820; I will shew forthH5608 all thy marvellous worksH6381.
I will be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5970 in thee: I will sing praiseH2167 to thy nameH8034, O thou most HighH5945.
When mine enemiesH341 are turnedH7725 backH268, they shall fallH3782 and perishH6 at thy presenceH6440.
For thou hast maintainedH6213 my rightH4941 and my causeH1779; thou satestH3427 in the throneH3678 judgingH8199 rightH6664. {maintained…: Heb. made my judgment} {judging right: Heb. judging in righteousness}
Thou hast rebukedH1605 the heathenH1471, thou hast destroyedH6 the wickedH7563, thou hast put outH4229 their nameH8034 for everH5769 and everH5703.
O thou enemyH341, destructionsH2723 are come to a perpetualH5331 endH8552: and thou hast destroyedH5428 citiesH6145+H5892; their memorialH2143 is perishedH6 with themH1992. {O thou…: or, The destructions of the enemy are come to a perpetual end: and their cities hast thou destroyed, etc}
But the LORDH3068 shall endureH3427 for everH5769: he hath preparedH3559 his throneH3678 for judgmentH4941.
Why standestH5975 thou afar offH7350, O LORDH3068? why hidestH5956 thou thyself in timesH6256 of troubleH6869?
The wickedH7563 in his prideH1346 doth persecuteH1814 the poorH6041: let them be takenH8610 in the devicesH4209 thatH2098 they have imaginedH2803. {The wicked…: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
For the wickedH7563 boastethH1984 of his heart'sH5315 desireH8378, and blessethH1288 the covetousH1214, whom the LORDH3068 abhorrethH5006. {heart's: Heb. soul's} {blesseth…: or, the covetous blesseth himself, he abhorreth the LORD}
The wickedH7563, through the prideH1363 of his countenanceH639, will not seekH1875 after God: GodH430 is not in all his thoughtsH4209. {God is…: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God}
His waysH1870 are alwaysH6256 grievousH2342; thy judgmentsH4941 are far aboveH4791 out of his sight: as for all his enemiesH6887, he puffethH6315 at them.
He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, I shall not be movedH4131: for I shall neverH1755+H1755 be in adversityH7451. {never: Heb. unto generation and generation}
His mouthH6310 is fullH4390 of cursingH423 and deceitH4820 and fraudH8496: under his tongueH3956 is mischiefH5999 and vanityH205. {deceit: Heb. deceits} {vanity: or, iniquity}
He sittethH3427 in the lurking placesH3993 of the villagesH2691: in the secret placesH4565 doth he murderH2026 the innocentH5355: his eyesH5869 are privily setH6845 against the poorH2489. {are…: Heb. hide themselves}
He lieth in waitH693 secretlyH4565 as a lionH738 in his denH5520: he lieth in waitH693 to catchH2414 the poorH6041: he doth catchH2414 the poorH6041, when he drawethH4900 him into his netH7568. {secretly: Heb. in the secret places}
He crouchethH1794, and humblethH7817 himself, that the poorH2426+H2489+H2489 may fallH5307 by his strong onesH6099. {He…: Heb. He breaketh himself} {by…: or, into his strong parts}
He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, GodH410 hath forgottenH7911: he hidethH5641 his faceH6440; he will neverH5331 seeH7200 it.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068; O GodH410, lift upH5375 thine handH3027: forgetH7911 not the humbleH6035+H6041. {humble: or, afflicted}
Wherefore doth the wickedH7563 contemnH5006 GodH430? he hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, Thou wilt not requireH1875 it.
Thou hast seenH7200 it; for thou beholdestH5027 mischiefH5999 and spiteH3708, to requiteH5414 it with thy handH3027: the poorH2489 committethH5800 himself unto thee; thou art the helperH5826 of the fatherlessH3490. {committeth: Heb. leaveth}
BreakH7665 thou the armH2220 of the wickedH7563 and the evilH7451 man: seek outH1875 his wickednessH7562 till thou findH4672 noneH1077.
The LORDH3068 is KingH4428 for everH5769 and everH5703: the heathenH1471 are perishedH6 out of his landH776.
LORDH3068, thou hast heardH8085 the desireH8378 of the humbleH6035: thou wilt prepareH3559 their heartH3820, thou wilt cause thine earH241 to hearH7181: {prepare: or, establish}
To judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490 and the oppressedH1790, that the manH582 of the earthH776 may no moreH3254 oppressH6206. {oppress: or, terrify}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be upon every one that is proudH1343 and loftyH7311, and upon every one that is lifted upH5375; and he shall be brought lowH8213:
And upon all the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, that are highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and upon all the oaksH437 of BashanH1316,
And upon all the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon all the hillsH1389 that are lifted upH5375,
And upon every highH1364 towerH4026, and upon every fencedH1219 wallH2346,
And upon all the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, and upon all pleasantH2532 picturesH7914. {pleasant…: Heb. pictures of desire}
And the loftinessH1365 of manH120 shall be bowed downH7817, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be made lowH8213: and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
And the idolsH457 he shall utterlyH3632 abolishH2498. {he…: or, shall utterly pass away}
And they shall goH935 into the holesH4631 of the rocksH6697, and into the cavesH4247 of the earthH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776. {of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
In that dayH3117 a manH120 shall castH7993 his idolsH457 of silverH3701, and his idolsH457 of goldH2091, which they made each one for himselfH6213 to worshipH7812, to the molesH2661+H6512 and to the batsH5847; {his idols of silver…: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc} {each…: or, for him}
To goH935 into the cleftsH5366 of the rocksH6697, and into the topsH5585 of the ragged rocksH5553, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776.
CeaseH2308 ye from manH120, whose breathH5397 is in his nostrilsH639: for wherein is he to be accounted ofH2803?
Therefore waitH2442 ye upon me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, until the dayH3117 that I rise upH6965 to the preyH5706: for my determinationH4941 is to gatherH622 the nationsH1471, that I may assembleH6908 the kingdomsH4467, to pourH8210 upon them mine indignationH2195, even all my fierceH2740 angerH639: for all the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068.
With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 will learnH3925 righteousnessH6664.
Let favour be shewedH2603 to the wickedH7563, yet will he notH1077 learnH3925 righteousnessH6664: in the landH776 of uprightnessH5229 will he deal unjustlyH5765, and will notH1077 beholdH7200 the majestyH1348 of the LORDH3068.
LORDH3068, when thy handH3027 is lifted upH7311, they will not seeH2372: but they shall seeH2372, and be ashamedH954 for their envyH7068 at the peopleH5971; yea, the fireH784 of thine enemiesH6862 shall devourH398 them. {at…: or, toward thy people}
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 the rodH4294 of thy strengthH5797 out of ZionH6726: ruleH7287 thou in the midstH7130 of thine enemiesH341.
And it shall be, if they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 at thine handH3027 to drinkH8354, then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Ye shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315: and unto them were sonsH1121 bornH3205 afterH310 the floodH3999.
The sonsH1121 of JaphethH3315; GomerH1586, and MagogH4031, and MadaiH4074, and JavanH3120, and TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, and TirasH8494.
And the sonsH1121 of GomerH1586; AshkenazH813, and RiphathH7384, and TogarmahH8425.
And the sonsH1121 of JavanH3120; ElishahH473, and TarshishH8659, KittimH3794, and DodanimH1721. {Dodanim: or, as some read it, Rodanim}
By these were the islesH339 of the GentilesH1471 divided inH6504 their landsH776; every oneH376 after his tongueH3956, after their familiesH4940, in their nationsH1471.
And the sonsH1121 of HamH2526; CushH3568, and MizraimH4714, and PhutH6316, and CanaanH3667.
And the sonsH1121 of CushH3568; SebaH5434, and HavilahH2341, and SabtahH5454, and RaamahH7484, and SabtechaH5455: and the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484; ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719.
And CushH3568 begatH3205 NimrodH5248: he beganH2490 to beH1961 a mighty oneH1368 in the earthH776.
He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: whereforeH3651 it is saidH559, Even as NimrodH5248 the mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was BabelH894, and ErechH751, and AccadH390, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of ShinarH8152. {Babel: Gr. Babylon}
Out of that landH776 went forthH3318 AsshurH804, and buildedH1129 NinevehH5210, and the cityH5892 RehobothH7344, and CalahH3625, {went…: or, he went out into Assyria} {the city…: or, the streets of the city}
And ResenH7449 between NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625: the same is a greatH1419 cityH5892.
And MizraimH4714 begatH3205 LudimH3866, and AnamimH6047, and LehabimH3853, and NaphtuhimH5320,
And PathrusimH6625, and CasluhimH3695, (out of whom cameH3318 PhilistimH6430,) and CaphtorimH3732.
And CanaanH3667 begatH3205 SidonH6721 his firstbornH1060, and HethH2845, {Sidon: Heb. Tzidon}
And the JebusiteH2983, and the AmoriteH567, and the GirgasiteH1622,
And the HiviteH2340, and the ArkiteH6208, and the SiniteH5513,
And the ArvaditeH721, and the ZemariteH6786, and the HamathiteH2577: and afterwardH310 were the familiesH4940 of the CanaanitesH3669 spread abroadH6327.
And the borderH1366 of the CanaanitesH3669 was from SidonH6721, as thou comestH935 to GerarH1642, unto GazaH5804; as thou goestH935, unto SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, and AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, even unto LashaH3962. {Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
These are the sonsH1121 of HamH2526, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their countriesH776, and in their nationsH1471.
Unto ShemH8035 also, the fatherH1 of all the childrenH1121 of EberH5677, the brotherH251 of JaphethH3315 the elderH1419, even to him were children bornH3205.
The childrenH1121 of ShemH8035; ElamH5867, and AsshurH804, and ArphaxadH775, and LudH3865, and AramH758. {Arphaxad: Heb. Arpachshad}
And the childrenH1121 of AramH758; UzH5780, and HulH2343, and GetherH1666, and MashH4851.
And ArphaxadH775 begatH3205 SalahH7974; and SalahH7974 begatH3205 EberH5677. {Salah: Heb. Shelah}
And unto EberH5677 were bornH3205 twoH8147 sonsH1121: the nameH8034 of oneH259 was PelegH6389; for in his daysH3117 was the earthH776 dividedH6385; and his brother'sH251 nameH8034 was JoktanH3355. {Peleg: that is Division}
And JoktanH3355 begatH3205 AlmodadH486, and ShelephH8026, and HazarmavethH2700, and JerahH3392,
And HadoramH1913, and UzalH187, and DiklahH1853,
And ObalH5745, and AbimaelH39, and ShebaH7614,
And OphirH211, and HavilahH2341, and JobabH3103: all these were the sonsH1121 of JoktanH3355.
And their dwellingH4186 was from MeshaH4852, as thou goestH935 unto SepharH5611 a mountH2022 of the eastH6924.
These are the sonsH1121 of ShemH8035, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their landsH776, after their nationsH1471.
These are the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, after their generationsH8435, in their nationsH1471: and by these were the nationsH1471 dividedH6504 in the earthH776 afterH310 the floodH3999.
For, behold, in those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, when I shall bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389,
ProclaimH7121 ye this among the GentilesH1471; PrepareH6942 warH4421, wake upH5782 the mighty menH1368, let all the menH582 of warH4421 draw nearH5066; let them come upH5927: {Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}
BeatH3807 your plowsharesH855 into swordsH2719, and your pruninghooksH4211 into spearsH7420: let the weakH2523 sayH559, I am strongH1368. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
AssembleH5789 yourselves, and comeH935, all ye heathenH1471, and gather yourselves togetherH6908 round aboutH5439: thither cause thy mighty onesH1368 to come downH5181, O LORDH3068. {cause…: or, the LORD shall bring down}
Let the heathenH1471 be wakenedH5782, and come upH5927 to the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092: for there will I sitH3427 to judgeH8199 all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439.
PutH7971 ye in the sickleH4038, for the harvestH7105 is ripeH1310: comeH935, get you downH3381; for the pressH1660 is fullH4390, the fatsH3342 overflowH7783; for their wickednessH7451 is greatH7227.
MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742. {decision: or, concision, or, threshing}
The sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkenedH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051.
The LORDH3068 also shall roarH7580 out of ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 shall shakeH7493: but the LORDH3068 will be the hopeH4268 of his peopleH5971, and the strengthH4581 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {hope: Heb. place of repair, or, harbour}
So shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dwellingH7931 in ZionH6726, my holyH6944 mountainH2022: then shall JerusalemH3389 be holyH6944, and there shall no strangersH2114 pass throughH5674 her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}
Now also manyH7227 nationsH1471 are gatheredH622 against thee, that sayH559, Let her be defiledH2610, and let our eyeH5869 lookH2372 upon ZionH6726.
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will smiteH5221 every horseH5483 with astonishmentH8541, and his riderH7392 with madnessH7697: and I will openH6491 mine eyesH5869 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will smiteH5221 every horseH5483 of the peopleH5971 with blindnessH5788.
And the governorsH441 of JudahH3063 shall sayH559 in their heartH3820, The inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 shall be my strengthH556 in the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 their GodH430. {The inhabitants…: or, There is strength to me and to the inhabitants, etc}
In that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 the governorsH441 of JudahH3063 like an hearthH3595 of fireH784 among the woodH6086, and like a torchH3940 of fireH784 in a sheafH5995; and they shall devourH398 all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, on the right handH3225 and on the leftH8040: and JerusalemH3389 shall be inhabitedH3427 again in her own place, even in JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 also shall saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 do not magnifyH1431 themselves against JudahH3063.
In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and he that is feebleH3782 among them at that dayH3117 shall be as DavidH1732; and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 shall be as GodH430, as the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 them. {feeble: or, abject: Heb. fallen}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will seekH1245 to destroyH8045 all the nationsH1471 that comeH935 against JerusalemH3389.
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
In that dayH3117 shall there be a greatH1431 mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, as the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddonH4023.
Then shall the LORDH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
And his feetH7272 shall standH5975 in that dayH3117 upon the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132, which is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924, and the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132 shall cleaveH1234 in the midstH2677 thereof toward the eastH4217 and toward the westH3220, and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH1419 valleyH1516; and halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 shall removeH4185 toward the northH6828, and halfH2677 of it toward the southH5045.
The formerG3303+G4413 treatiseG3056 have I madeG4160, OG5599 TheophilusG2321, ofG4012 allG3956 thatG3739 JesusG2424 beganG756 bothG5037 to doG4160 andG2532 teachG1321,
UntilG891 the dayG2250 in whichG3739 he was taken upG353, after that he throughG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 had given commandmentsG1781 unto the apostlesG652 whomG3739 he had chosenG1586:
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 he shewedG3936 himselfG1438 aliveG2198 afterG3326 hisG846 passionG3958 byG1722 manyG4183 infallible proofsG5039, being seenG3700 of themG846+G1223 fortyG5062 daysG2250, andG2532 speakingG3004 of the things pertainingG4012 to the kingdomG932 of GodG2316:
AndG2532, being assembled togetherG4871 withG846 them, commandedG3853 themG846 that they shouldG5563 notG3361 departG5563 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, butG235 waitG4037 for the promiseG1860 of the FatherG3962, whichG3739, saith he, ye have heardG191 of meG3450. {being…: or, eating together}
ForG3754 JohnG2491 trulyG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; butG1161 yeG5210 shall be baptizedG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 notG3756 manyG3326+G4183 daysG2250 henceG5025.
WhenG3303 they thereforeG3767 were come togetherG4905, they askedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962+G1487, wilt thouG600 atG1722 thisG5129 timeG5550 restore againG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, It isG2076 notG3756 for youG5216 to knowG1097 the timesG5550 orG2228 the seasonsG2540, whichG3739 the FatherG3962 hath putG5087 inG1722 his ownG2398 powerG1849.
ButG235 ye shall receiveG2983 powerG1411, after that the HolyG40 GhostG4151 is comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209: andG2532 ye shall beG2071 witnessesG3144 unto meG3427 bothG5037 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 in SamariaG4540, andG2532 untoG2193 the uttermost partG2078 of the earthG1093. {power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you}
AndG2532 when he had spokenG2036 these thingsG5023, while theyG846 beheldG991, he was taken upG1869; andG2532 a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 himG846 out ofG575 theirG846 sightG3788.
AndG2532 whileG5613 they looked stedfastlyG2258+G816 towardG1519 heavenG3772 as heG846 went upG4198+G2532, beholdG2400, twoG1417 menG435 stood byG3936 themG846 inG1722 whiteG3022 apparelG2066;
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 saidG2036, Ye menG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 stand yeG2476 gazing upG1689 intoG1519 heavenG3772? this sameG3778 JesusG2424, whichG3588 is taken upG353 fromG575 youG5216 intoG1519 heavenG3772, shallG2064 soG3779 comeG2064 in like manner asG3739+G5158 ye have seenG2300 himG846 goG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772.
ThenG5119 returned theyG5290 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419 fromG575 the mountG3735 calledG2564 OlivetG1638, whichG3739 isG2076 fromG1451 JerusalemG2419 a sabbathG4521 day's journeyG2192+G3598.
AndG2532 whenG3753 they were come inG1525, they went upG305 intoG1519 an upper roomG5253, whereG3757 abodeG2258+G2650 bothG5037 PeterG4074, andG2532 JamesG2385, andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 AndrewG406, PhilipG5376, andG2532 ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918, andG2532 MatthewG3156, JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, andG2532 SimonG4613 ZelotesG2208, andG2532 JudasG2455 the brother of JamesG2385.
TheseG3778 allG3956 continuedG2258+G4342 with one accordG3661 in prayerG4335 andG2532 supplicationG1162, withG4862 the womenG1135, andG2532 MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JesusG2424, andG2532 withG4862 hisG846 brethrenG80.
AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250 PeterG4074 stood upG450 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the disciplesG3101, and saidG2036+G5037, (the numberG3793 of namesG3686 togetherG1909+G846 wereG2258 aboutG5613 an hundredG1540 and twentyG1501,)
MenG435 and brethrenG80, thisG5026 scriptureG1124 mustG1163 needs have been fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 spake beforeG4277 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, whichG3588 wasG1096 guideG3595 to them that tookG4815 JesusG2424.
ForG3754 he wasG2258 numberedG2674 withG4862 usG2254, andG2532 had obtainedG2975 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248.
NowG3303+G3767 this manG3778 purchasedG2932 a fieldG5564 withG1537 the rewardG3408 of iniquityG93; andG2532 fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burst asunderG2997 in the midstG3319, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 bowelsG4698 gushed outG1632.
AndG2532 it wasG1096 knownG1110 unto allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at JerusalemG2419; insomuch asG5620 thatG1565 fieldG5564 is calledG2564 in theirG846 properG2398 tongueG1258, AceldamaG184, that is to sayG5123, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, LetG1096 hisG846 habitationG1886 beG1096 desolateG2048, andG2532 letG2077 no manG3361 dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846: andG2532 hisG846 bishoprickG1984 letG2983 anotherG2087 takeG2983. {bishoprick: or, office, or, charge}
WhereforeG3767 of theseG5130 menG435 which have companiedG4905 with usG2254 allG3956 the timeG5550 thatG1722+G3739 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1831 inG1525 andG2532 outG1831 amongG1909 usG2248,
BeginningG756 fromG575 the baptismG908 of JohnG2491, untoG2193 that same dayG2250 thatG3739 he was taken upG353 fromG575 usG2257, mustG1163 oneG1520 be ordainedG1096 to be a witnessG3144 withG4862 usG2254 of hisG846 resurrectionG386.
AndG2532 they appointedG2476 twoG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabasG923, whoG3739 was surnamedG1941 JustusG2459, andG2532 MatthiasG3159.
AndG2532 they prayedG4336, and saidG2036, ThouG4771, LordG2962, which knowest the heartsG2589 of allG3956 men, shewG322 whetherG3739+G1520 ofG1537 theseG5130 twoG1417 thou hast chosenG1586,
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG2398 placeG5117.
AndG2532 they gave forthG1325 theirG846 lotsG2819; andG2532 the lotG2819 fellG4098 uponG1909 MatthiasG3159; andG2532 he was numberedG4785 withG3326 the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH5927 from the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and stoodH5975 upon the mountainH2022 which is on the east sideH6924 of the cityH5892.
And his feetH7272 shall standH5975 in that dayH3117 upon the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132, which is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924, and the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132 shall cleaveH1234 in the midstH2677 thereof toward the eastH4217 and toward the westH3220, and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH1419 valleyH1516; and halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 shall removeH4185 toward the northH6828, and halfH2677 of it toward the southH5045.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315: and unto them were sonsH1121 bornH3205 afterH310 the floodH3999.
The sonsH1121 of JaphethH3315; GomerH1586, and MagogH4031, and MadaiH4074, and JavanH3120, and TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, and TirasH8494.
And the sonsH1121 of GomerH1586; AshkenazH813, and RiphathH7384, and TogarmahH8425.
And the sonsH1121 of JavanH3120; ElishahH473, and TarshishH8659, KittimH3794, and DodanimH1721. {Dodanim: or, as some read it, Rodanim}
By these were the islesH339 of the GentilesH1471 divided inH6504 their landsH776; every oneH376 after his tongueH3956, after their familiesH4940, in their nationsH1471.
And the sonsH1121 of HamH2526; CushH3568, and MizraimH4714, and PhutH6316, and CanaanH3667.
And the sonsH1121 of CushH3568; SebaH5434, and HavilahH2341, and SabtahH5454, and RaamahH7484, and SabtechaH5455: and the sonsH1121 of RaamahH7484; ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719.
And CushH3568 begatH3205 NimrodH5248: he beganH2490 to beH1961 a mighty oneH1368 in the earthH776.
He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: whereforeH3651 it is saidH559, Even as NimrodH5248 the mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was BabelH894, and ErechH751, and AccadH390, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of ShinarH8152. {Babel: Gr. Babylon}
Out of that landH776 went forthH3318 AsshurH804, and buildedH1129 NinevehH5210, and the cityH5892 RehobothH7344, and CalahH3625, {went…: or, he went out into Assyria} {the city…: or, the streets of the city}
And ResenH7449 between NinevehH5210 and CalahH3625: the same is a greatH1419 cityH5892.
And MizraimH4714 begatH3205 LudimH3866, and AnamimH6047, and LehabimH3853, and NaphtuhimH5320,
And PathrusimH6625, and CasluhimH3695, (out of whom cameH3318 PhilistimH6430,) and CaphtorimH3732.
And CanaanH3667 begatH3205 SidonH6721 his firstbornH1060, and HethH2845, {Sidon: Heb. Tzidon}
And the JebusiteH2983, and the AmoriteH567, and the GirgasiteH1622,
And the HiviteH2340, and the ArkiteH6208, and the SiniteH5513,
And the ArvaditeH721, and the ZemariteH6786, and the HamathiteH2577: and afterwardH310 were the familiesH4940 of the CanaanitesH3669 spread abroadH6327.
And the borderH1366 of the CanaanitesH3669 was from SidonH6721, as thou comestH935 to GerarH1642, unto GazaH5804; as thou goestH935, unto SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, and AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, even unto LashaH3962. {Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
These are the sonsH1121 of HamH2526, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their countriesH776, and in their nationsH1471.
Unto ShemH8035 also, the fatherH1 of all the childrenH1121 of EberH5677, the brotherH251 of JaphethH3315 the elderH1419, even to him were children bornH3205.
The childrenH1121 of ShemH8035; ElamH5867, and AsshurH804, and ArphaxadH775, and LudH3865, and AramH758. {Arphaxad: Heb. Arpachshad}
And the childrenH1121 of AramH758; UzH5780, and HulH2343, and GetherH1666, and MashH4851.
And ArphaxadH775 begatH3205 SalahH7974; and SalahH7974 begatH3205 EberH5677. {Salah: Heb. Shelah}
And unto EberH5677 were bornH3205 twoH8147 sonsH1121: the nameH8034 of oneH259 was PelegH6389; for in his daysH3117 was the earthH776 dividedH6385; and his brother'sH251 nameH8034 was JoktanH3355. {Peleg: that is Division}
And JoktanH3355 begatH3205 AlmodadH486, and ShelephH8026, and HazarmavethH2700, and JerahH3392,
And HadoramH1913, and UzalH187, and DiklahH1853,
And ObalH5745, and AbimaelH39, and ShebaH7614,
And OphirH211, and HavilahH2341, and JobabH3103: all these were the sonsH1121 of JoktanH3355.
And their dwellingH4186 was from MeshaH4852, as thou goestH935 unto SepharH5611 a mountH2022 of the eastH6924.
These are the sonsH1121 of ShemH8035, after their familiesH4940, after their tonguesH3956, in their landsH776, after their nationsH1471.
These are the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of NoahH5146, after their generationsH8435, in their nationsH1471: and by these were the nationsH1471 dividedH6504 in the earthH776 afterH310 the floodH3999.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against GogH1463, the landH776 of MagogH4031, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422, and prophesyH5012 against him, {the chief…: or, prince of the chief}
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and putH5414 hooksH2397 into thy jawsH3895, and I will bring thee forthH3318, and all thine armyH2428, horsesH5483 and horsemenH6571, all of them clothedH3847 with all sortsH4358 of armour, even a greatH7227 companyH6951 with bucklersH6793 and shieldsH4043, all of them handlingH8610 swordsH2719:
PersiaH6539, EthiopiaH3568, and LibyaH6316 with them; all of them with shieldH4043 and helmetH3553: {Libya: or, Phut}
GomerH1586, and all his bandsH102; the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 of the northH6828 quartersH3411, and all his bandsH102: and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Be thou preparedH3559, and prepareH3559 for thyself, thou, and all thy companyH6951 that are assembledH6950 unto thee, and be thou a guardH4929 unto them.
After manyH7227 daysH3117 thou shalt be visitedH6485: in the latterH319 yearsH8141 thou shalt comeH935 into the landH776 that is brought backH7725 from the swordH2719, and is gatheredH6908 out of manyH7227 peopleH5971, against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, which have been alwaysH8548 wasteH2723: but it is brought forthH3318 out of the nationsH5971, and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 all of them.
Thou shalt ascendH5927 and comeH935 like a stormH7722, thou shalt be like a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; It shall also come to pass, that at the same timeH3117 shall thingsH1697 comeH5927 into thy mindH3824, and thou shalt thinkH2803 an evilH7451 thoughtH4284: {think…: or, conceive a mischievous purpose}
And thou shalt sayH559, I will go upH5927 to the landH776 of unwalled villagesH6519; I will goH935 to them that are at restH8252, that dwellH3427 safelyH983, all of them dwellingH3427 without wallsH2346, and having neither barsH1280 nor gatesH1817, {safely: or, confidently}
To takeH7997 a spoilH7998, and to takeH962 a preyH957; to turnH7725 thine handH3027 upon the desolate placesH2723 that are now inhabitedH3427, and upon the peopleH5971 that are gatheredH622 out of the nationsH1471, which have gottenH6213 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, that dwellH3427 in the midstH2872 of the landH776. {To take…: Heb. To spoil the spoil, and to prey the prey} {midst: Heb. navel}
ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719, and the merchantsH5503 of TarshishH8659, with all the young lionsH3715 thereof, shall sayH559 unto thee, Art thou comeH935 to takeH7997 a spoilH7998? hast thou gatheredH6950 thy companyH6951 to takeH962 a preyH957? to carry awayH5375 silverH3701 and goldH2091, to take awayH3947 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, to takeH7997 a greatH1419 spoilH7998?
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto GogH1463, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In that dayH3117 when my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dwellethH3427 safelyH983, shalt thou not knowH3045 it?
And thou shalt comeH935 from thy placeH4725 out of the northH6828 partsH3411, thou, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, a greatH1419 companyH6951, and a mightyH7227 armyH2428:
And thou shalt come upH5927 against my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, as a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776; it shall be in the latterH319 daysH3117, and I will bringH935 thee against my landH776, that the heathenH1471 may knowH3045 me, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in thee, O GogH1463, before their eyesH5869.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Art thou he of whom I have spokenH1696 in oldH6931 timeH3117 byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478, which prophesiedH5012 in those daysH3117 many yearsH8141 that I would bringH935 thee against them? {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it shall come to pass at the same timeH3117 whenH3117 GogH1463 shall comeH935 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that my furyH2534 shall come upH5927 in my faceH639.
For in my jealousyH7068 and in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678 have I spokenH1696, Surely in that dayH3117 there shall be a greatH1419 shakingH7494 in the landH127 of IsraelH3478;
So that the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and all creeping thingsH7431 that creepH7430 upon the earthH127, and all the menH120 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127, shall shakeH7493 at my presenceH6440, and the mountainsH2022 shall be thrown downH2040, and the steep placesH4095 shall fallH5307, and every wallH2346 shall fallH5307 to the groundH776. {steep…: or, towers, or, stairs}
And I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 against him throughout all my mountainsH2022, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: every man'sH376 swordH2719 shall be against his brotherH251.
And I will pleadH8199 against him with pestilenceH1698 and with bloodH1818; and I will rainH4305 upon him, and upon his bandsH102, and upon the manyH7227 peopleH5971 that are with him, an overflowingH7857 rainH1653, and great hailstonesH417+H68, fireH784, and brimstoneH1614.
Thus will I magnifyH1431 myself, and sanctifyH6942 myself; and I will be knownH3045 in the eyesH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471, and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 madeH5648 an imageH6755 of goldH1722, whose heightH7314 was threescoreH8361 cubitsH521, and the breadthH6613 thereof sixH8353 cubitsH521: he set it upH6966 in the plainH1236 of DuraH1757, in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895.
Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 sentH7972 to gather togetherH3673 the princesH324, the governorsH5460, and the captainsH6347, the judgesH148, the treasurersH1411, the counsellorsH1884, the sheriffsH8614, and allH3606 the rulersH7984 of the provincesH4083, to comeH858 to the dedicationH2597 of the imageH6755 which NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had set upH6966.
ThenH116 the princesH324, the governorsH5460, and captainsH6347, the judgesH148, the treasurersH1411, the counsellorsH1884, the sheriffsH8614, and allH3606 the rulersH7984 of the provincesH4083, were gathered togetherH3673 unto the dedicationH2597 of the imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had set upH6966; and they stoodH6966 beforeH6903 the imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 had set upH6966.
Then an heraldH3744 criedH7123 aloudH2429, To you it is commandedH560, O peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, {aloud: Cald. with might} {it…: Cald. they command}
That at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, dulcimerH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, ye fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 hath set upH6966: {dulcimer: or, singing: Cald. symphony}
And whosoH4479 fallethH5308 notH3809 downH5308 and worshippethH5457 shall the same hourH8160 be castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
ThereforeH6903+H1836 at that timeH2166, whenH1768 allH3606 the peopleH5972 heardH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, allH3606 the peopleH5972, the nationsH524, and the languagesH3961, fell downH5308 and worshippedH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 that NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 had set upH6966.
WhereforeH6903+H3606 at thatH1836 timeH2166 certainH1400 ChaldeansH3779 came nearH7127, and accusedH7170+H399 the JewsH3062.
They spakeH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957.
ThouH607, O kingH4430, hast madeH7761 a decreeH2942, that everyH3606 manH606 that shall hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481+H5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, shall fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755:
And whosoH4479 fallethH5308 notH3809 downH5308 and worshippethH5457, that he should be castH7412 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
There areH383 certainH1400 JewsH3062 whomH3487 thou hast setH4483 overH5922 the affairsH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665; theseH479 menH1400, O kingH4430, haveH7761 notH3809 regardedH2942 theeH5922: they serveH6399 notH3809 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966. {have…: Cald. have set no regard upon thee}
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 in his rageH7266 and furyH2528 commandedH560 to bringH858 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665. ThenH116 they broughtH858 theseH479 menH1400 beforeH6925 the kingH4430.
NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto them, Is it trueH6656, O ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, do notH3809 yeH383 serveH6399 my godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which I have setH6966 up? {true: or, of purpose}
NowH3705 ifH2006 ye beH383 readyH6263 that at what timeH5732 ye hearH8086 the soundH7032 of the cornetH7162, fluteH4953, harpH7030+H7030, sackbutH5443, psalteryH6460, and dulcimerH5481, and allH3606 kindsH2178 of musickH2170, ye fall downH5308 and worshipH5457 the imageH6755 which I have madeH5648; well: but ifH2006 ye worshipH5457 notH3809, ye shall be castH7412 the same hourH8160 into the midstH1459 of a burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861; and whoH4479 is that GodH426 that shall deliverH7804 you out ofH4481 my handsH3028?
ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the kingH4430, O NebuchadnezzarH5020, weH586 are notH3809 carefulH2818 to answerH8421 thee inH5922 thisH1836 matterH6600.
IfH2006 it be so, our GodH426 whom weH586 serveH6399 isH383 ableH3202 to deliverH7804 us fromH4481 the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, andH4481 he will deliverH7804 us out ofH4481 thine handH3028, O kingH4430.
But ifH2006 notH3809, be itH1934 knownH3046 unto thee, O kingH4430, that we willH383 notH3809 serveH6399 thy godsH426, norH3809 worshipH5457 the goldenH1722 imageH6755 which thou hast set upH6966.
ThenH116 was NebuchadnezzarH5020 fullH4391 of furyH2528, and the formH6755 of his visageH600 was changedH8133 againstH5922 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665: therefore he spakeH6032, and commandedH560 that they should heatH228 the furnaceH861 oneH2298 seven timesH7655 moreH5922 thanH1768 it was wontH2370 to be heatedH228. {full: Cald. filled}
And he commandedH560 the mostH2429 mightyH1401 menH1400 that were in his armyH2429 to bindH3729 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, and to castH7412 them into the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861. {most…: Cald. mighty of strength}
ThenH116 theseH479 menH1400 were boundH3729 in their coatsH5622, their hosenH6361+H6361, and their hatsH3737, and their other garmentsH3831, and were castH7412 into the midstH1459 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861. {coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}
ThereforeH3606+H6903 becauseH4481+H1836 the king'sH4430 commandmentH4406 was urgentH2685, and the furnaceH861 exceedingH3493 hotH228, the flameH7631 of the fireH5135 slewH6992 thoseH479 menH1400+H1994 that took upH5267 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665. {commandment: Cald. word} {flame: or, spark}
And theseH479 threeH8532 menH1400, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, fell downH5308 boundH3729 into the midstH1459 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861.
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430 was astoniedH8429, and rose upH6966 in hasteH927, and spakeH6032, and saidH560 unto his counsellorsH1907, Did notH3809 we castH7412 threeH8532 menH1400 boundH3729 into the midstH1459 of the fireH5135? They answeredH6032 and saidH560 unto the kingH4430, TrueH3330, O kingH4430. {counsellors: or, governors}
He answeredH6032 and saidH560, LoH1888, IH576 seeH2370 fourH703 menH1400 looseH8271, walkingH1981 in the midstH1459 of the fireH5135, and they haveH383 noH3809 hurtH2257; and the formH7299 of the fourthH7244 is likeH1821 the SonH1247 of GodH426. {they…: Cald. there is no hurt in them}
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 came nearH7127 to the mouthH8651 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, and spakeH6032, and saidH560, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, ye servantsH5649 of the most highH5943 GodH426, come forthH5312, and comeH858 hither. ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, came forthH5312 ofH4481 the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. {mouth: Cald. door}
And the princesH324, governorsH5460, and captainsH6347, and the king'sH4430 counsellorsH1907, being gathered togetherH3673, sawH2370 theseH479 menH1400, upon whose bodiesH1655 the fireH5135 had noH3809 powerH7981, norH3809 was an hairH8177 of their headH7217 singedH2761, neitherH3809 were their coatsH5622 changedH8133, norH3809 the smellH7382 of fireH5135 had passedH5709 on them.
Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032, and saidH560, BlessedH1289 be the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, who hath sentH7972 his angelH4398, and deliveredH7804 his servantsH5649 that trustedH7365 in himH5922, and have changedH8133 the king'sH4430 wordH4406, and yieldedH3052 their bodiesH1655, that they might notH3809 serveH6399 norH3809 worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426, exceptH3861 their own GodH426.
Therefore IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That everyH3606 peopleH5972, nationH524, and languageH3961, which speakH560 any thing amissH7960+H7955 againstH5922 the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and their housesH1005 shall be madeH7739 a dunghillH5122: becauseH6903+H3606 there isH383 noH3809 otherH321 GodH426 that canH3202 deliverH5338 after thisH1836 sort. {I make…: Cald. a decree is made by me} {any…: Cald. error} {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
ThenH116 the kingH4430 promotedH6744 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, in the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895. {promoted: Cald. made to prosper}
And the sonsH1121 of HamH2526; CushH3568, and MizraimH4714, and PhutH6316, and CanaanH3667.
PersiaH6539, EthiopiaH3568, and LibyaH6316 with them; all of them with shieldH4043 and helmetH3553: {Libya: or, Phut}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. {feed or, rule}
And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120. {principal: Heb. princes of}
And they shall wasteH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935 into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869 within our bordersH1366. {waste: Heb. eat up} {in the…: or, with her own naked swords}
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORDH3068, as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212, that tarriethH6960 not for manH376, nor waitethH3176 for the sonsH1121 of menH120.
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, as a young lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629: who, if he go throughH5674, both treadeth downH7429, and teareth in piecesH2963, and none can deliverH5337. {sheep: or, goats}
Thine handH3027 shall be lifted upH7311 upon thine adversariesH6862, and all thine enemiesH341 shall be cut offH3772.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will cut offH3772 thy horsesH5483 out of the midstH7130 of thee, and I will destroyH6 thy chariotsH4818:
And I will cut offH3772 the citiesH6145+H5892 of thy landH776, and throw downH2040 all thy strong holdsH4013:
And I will cut offH3772 witchcraftsH3785 out of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayersH6049:
Thy graven imagesH6456 also will I cut offH3772, and thy standing imagesH4676 out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worshipH7812 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. {standing…: or, statues}
And I will pluck upH5428 thy grovesH842 out of the midstH7130 of thee: so will I destroyH8045 thy citiesH6145+H5892. {cities: or, enemies}
And I will executeH6213 vengeanceH5359 in angerH639 and furyH2534 upon the heathenH1471, such as they have not heardH8085.
That I will breakH7665 the AssyrianH804 in my landH776, and upon my mountainsH2022 tread him under footH947: then shall his yokeH5923 departH5493 from off them, and his burdenH5448 departH5493 from off their shouldersH7926.
For through the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the AssyrianH804 be beaten downH2865, which smoteH5221 with a rodH7626.
And in every placeH3605 where the groundedH4145 staffH4294 shall passH4569, which the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 upon him, it shall be with tabretsH8596 and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shakingH8573 will he fightH3898 with it. {in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay…: Heb. cause to rest upon him} {with it: or, against them}
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Keep not thou silenceH1824, O GodH430: hold not thy peaceH2790, and be not stillH8252, O GodH410. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
For, lo, thine enemiesH341 make a tumultH1993: and they that hateH8130 thee have lifted upH5375 the headH7218.
They have taken craftyH6191 counselH5475 against thy peopleH5971, and consultedH3289 against thy hidden onesH6845.
They have saidH559, ComeH3212, and let us cut them offH3582 from being a nationH1471; that the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 may be no more in remembranceH2142.
For they have consultedH3289 togetherH3162 with one consentH3820: they areH3772 confederateH1285 against thee: {consent: Heb. heart}
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
DoH6213 unto them as unto the MidianitesH4080; as to SiseraH5516, as to JabinH2985, at the brookH5158 of KisonH7028:
Which perishedH8045 at EndorH5874: they became as dungH1828 for the earthH127.
MakeH7896 their noblesH5081 like OrebH6159, and like ZeebH2062: yea, all their princesH5257 as ZebahH2078, and as ZalmunnaH6759:
Who saidH559, Let us take to ourselves the housesH4999 of GodH430 in possessionH3423.
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
As the fireH784 burnethH1197 a woodH3293, and as the flameH3852 settethH3857 the mountainsH2022 on fireH3857;
So persecuteH7291 them with thy tempestH5591, and make them afraidH926 with thy stormH5492.
FillH4390 their facesH6440 with shameH7036; that they may seekH1245 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068.
Let them be confoundedH954 and troubledH926 for everH5703; yea, let them be put to shameH2659, and perishH6:
That men may knowH3045 that thou, whose nameH8034 alone is JEHOVAHH3068, art the most highH5945 over all the earthH776.
When I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, filledH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669, and raised upH5782 thy sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, against thy sonsH1121, O GreeceH3120, and madeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mighty manH1368.
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
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 armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
But they knowH3045 not the thoughtsH4284 of the LORDH3068, neither understandH995 they his counselH6098: for he shall gatherH6908 them as the sheavesH5995 into the floorH1637.
ThenG5119 shall the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 be likenedG3666 unto tenG1176 virginsG3933, whichG3748 tookG2983 theirG846 lampsG2985, and went forthG1831 to meetG529+G1519 the bridegroomG3566.
AndG1161 fiveG4002 ofG1537 themG846 wereG2258 wiseG5429, andG2532 fiveG4002 were foolishG3474.
TheyG3748 that were foolishG3474 tookG2983 theirG846+G1438 lampsG2985, and tookG2983 noG3756 oilG1637 withG3326 themG1438:
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 tookG2983 oilG1637 inG1722 theirG846 vesselsG30 withG3326 theirG846 lampsG2985.
WhileG1161 the bridegroomG3566 tarriedG5549, they allG3956 slumberedG3573 andG2532 sleptG2518.
AndG1161 at midnightG3319+G3571 there was a cryG2906 madeG1096, BeholdG2400, the bridegroomG3566 comethG2064; go ye outG1831 toG1519 meetG529 himG846.
ThenG5119 allG3956 thoseG1565 virginsG3933 aroseG1453, andG2532 trimmedG2885 theirG846 lampsG2985.
AndG1161 the foolishG3474 saidG2036 unto the wiseG5429, GiveG1325 usG2254 ofG1537 yourG5216 oilG1637; forG3754 ourG2257 lampsG2985 are gone outG4570. {gone out: or, going out}
ButG1161 the wiseG5429 answeredG611, sayingG3004, Not so; lestG3379 there beG714 notG3756 enoughG714 for usG2254 andG2532 youG5213: butG1161 go yeG4198 ratherG3123 to themG4314 that sellG4453, andG2532 buyG59 for yourselvesG1438.
AndG1161 while theyG846 wentG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; andG2532 they that were readyG2092 went inG1525 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 the marriageG1062: andG2532 the doorG2374 was shutG2808.
AfterwardG1161+G5305 cameG2064 alsoG2532 the otherG3062 virginsG3933, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 to usG2254.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756.
WatchG1127 thereforeG3767, forG3754 ye knowG1492 neitherG3756 the dayG2250 norG3761 the hourG5610 whereinG1722+G3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064.
ForG1063 the kingdom of heaven is asG5618 a manG444 travelling into a far countryG589, who calledG2564 his ownG2398 servantsG1401, andG2532 deliveredG3860 unto themG846 hisG846 goodsG5224.
AndG2532 unto oneG3739+G3303 he gaveG1325 fiveG4002 talentsG5007+G1161, to anotherG3739 twoG1417, andG1161 to anotherG3739 oneG1520; to every manG1538 accordingG2596 to his severalG2398 abilityG1411; andG2532 straightwayG2112 took his journeyG589. {talents: a talent is 187.pounds 10.ten shillings, chap.18.24}
ThenG1161 he that had receivedG2983 the fiveG4002 talentsG5007 wentG4198 and tradedG2038 withG1722 the sameG846, andG2532 madeG4160 them otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007.
AndG2532 likewiseG5615 he that had receivedG3588 twoG1417, heG846 alsoG2532 gainedG2770 otherG243 twoG1417.
ButG1161 he that had receivedG2983 oneG1520 wentG565 and diggedG3736 inG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 hidG613 hisG846 lord'sG2962 moneyG694.
AfterG1161+G3326 a longG4183 timeG5550 the lordG2962 of thoseG1565 servantsG1401 comethG2064, andG2532 reckonethG4868+G3056 withG3326 themG846.
And soG2532 he that had receivedG2983 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and broughtG4374 otherG243 fiveG4002 talentsG5007, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 fiveG4002 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 besideG1909 themG846 fiveG4002 talentsG5007 moreG243.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, thou goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401: thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
He alsoG2532 that had receivedG2983 twoG1417 talentsG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, thou deliveredstG3860 unto meG3427 twoG1417 talentsG5007: beholdG2396, I have gainedG2770 twoG1417 otherG243 talentsG5007 besideG1909 themG846.
HisG846 lordG2962 saidG5346 unto himG846, Well doneG2095, goodG18 andG2532 faithfulG4103 servantG1401; thou hast beenG2258 faithfulG4103 overG1909 a few thingsG3641, I will makeG2525 theeG4571 rulerG2525 overG1909 many thingsG4183: enter thouG1525 intoG1519 the joyG5479 of thyG4675 lordG2962.
ThenG1161+G2532 he which had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, I knewG1097 theeG4571 thatG3754 thou artG1488 an hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 thou hastG4687 notG3756 sownG4687, andG2532 gatheringG4863 whereG3606 thou hastG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
AndG2532 I was afraidG5399, and wentG565 and hidG2928 thyG4675 talentG5007 inG1722 the earthG1093: loG2396, there thou hastG2192 that is thineG4674.
HisG846 lordG2962 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou wickedG4190 andG2532 slothfulG3636 servantG1401, thou knewestG1492 thatG3754 I reapG2325 whereG3699 I sowedG4687 notG3756, andG2532 gatherG4863 whereG3606 I haveG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
ThouG4571 oughtestG1163 thereforeG3767 to have putG906 myG3450 moneyG694 to the exchangersG5133, andG2532 then at my comingG2064 IG1473 shouldG302 have receivedG2865 mine ownG1699 withG4862 usuryG5110.
TakeG142 thereforeG3767 the talentG5007 fromG575 himG846, andG2532 giveG1325 it unto him which hathG2192 tenG1176 talentsG5007.
ForG1063 unto every oneG3956 that hathG2192 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have abundanceG4052: butG1161 fromG575 himG846 that hathG2192 notG3361 shall be taken awayG142+G575 evenG2532 that whichG3739 he hathG2192.
AndG2532 cast yeG1544 the unprofitableG888 servantG1401 intoG1519 outerG1857 darknessG4655: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
WhenG1161+G3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall comeG2064 inG1722 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 allG3956 the holyG40 angelsG32 withG3326 himG846, thenG5119 shall he sitG2523 uponG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391:
AndG2532 beforeG1715 himG846 shall be gatheredG4863 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 he shall separateG873 themG846 oneG240 fromG575 anotherG240, asG5618 a shepherdG4166 dividethG873 his sheepG4263 fromG575 the goatsG2056:
AndG2532 he shall setG2476+G3303 the sheepG4263 onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, butG1161 the goatsG2055 onG1537 the leftG2176.
ThenG5119 shall the KingG935 sayG2046 unto them onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, ComeG1205, ye blessedG2127 of myG3450 FatherG3962, inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for youG5213 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 drinkG4222: I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 inG4863:
NakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165: I was sickG770, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165: I wasG2252 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye cameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165.
ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, andG2532 fedG5142 thee? orG2228 thirstyG1372, andG2532 gave thee drinkG4222?
WhenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 a strangerG3581, andG2532 took thee inG4863? orG2228 nakedG1131, andG2532 clothedG4016 thee?
Or whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571?
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.
For, behold, in those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, when I shall bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389,
I will also gatherH6908 all nationsH1471, and will bring them downH3381 into the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092, and will pleadH8199 with them there for my peopleH5971 and for my heritageH5159 IsraelH3478, whom they have scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471, and partedH2505 my landH776.
And they have castH3032 lotsH1486 for my peopleH5971; and have givenH5414 a boyH3206 for an harlotH2181, and soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196, that they might drinkH8354.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TyreH6865, and ZidonH6721, and all the coastsH1552 of PalestineH6429? will ye renderH7999 me a recompenceH1576? and if ye recompenseH1580 me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 will I returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218;
Because ye have takenH3947 my silverH3701 and my goldH2091, and have carriedH935 into your templesH1964 my goodlyH2896 pleasant thingsH4261: {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The childrenH1121 also of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JerusalemH3389 have ye soldH4376 unto the GreciansH3125+H1121, that ye might remove them farH7368 from their borderH1366. {the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}
Behold, I will raiseH5782 them out of the placeH4725 whither ye have soldH4376 them, and will returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218:
And I will sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and they shall sellH4376 them to the SabeansH7615, to a peopleH1471 far offH7350: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
ProclaimH7121 ye this among the GentilesH1471; PrepareH6942 warH4421, wake upH5782 the mighty menH1368, let all the menH582 of warH4421 draw nearH5066; let them come upH5927: {Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}
BeatH3807 your plowsharesH855 into swordsH2719, and your pruninghooksH4211 into spearsH7420: let the weakH2523 sayH559, I am strongH1368. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
AssembleH5789 yourselves, and comeH935, all ye heathenH1471, and gather yourselves togetherH6908 round aboutH5439: thither cause thy mighty onesH1368 to come downH5181, O LORDH3068. {cause…: or, the LORD shall bring down}
Let the heathenH1471 be wakenedH5782, and come upH5927 to the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092: for there will I sitH3427 to judgeH8199 all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439.
PutH7971 ye in the sickleH4038, for the harvestH7105 is ripeH1310: comeH935, get you downH3381; for the pressH1660 is fullH4390, the fatsH3342 overflowH7783; for their wickednessH7451 is greatH7227.
MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742. {decision: or, concision, or, threshing}
The sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkenedH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051.
The LORDH3068 also shall roarH7580 out of ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 shall shakeH7493: but the LORDH3068 will be the hopeH4268 of his peopleH5971, and the strengthH4581 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {hope: Heb. place of repair, or, harbour}
So shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dwellingH7931 in ZionH6726, my holyH6944 mountainH2022: then shall JerusalemH3389 be holyH6944, and there shall no strangersH2114 pass throughH5674 her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the mountainsH2022 shall drop downH5197 new wineH6071, and the hillsH1389 shall flowH3212 with milkH2461, and all the riversH650 of JudahH3063 shall flowH3212 with watersH4325, and a fountainH4599 shall come forthH3318 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and shall waterH8248 the valleyH5158 of ShittimH7851. {flow: Heb. go}
EgyptH4714 shall be a desolationH8077, and EdomH123 shall be a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, for the violenceH2555 against the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, because they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in their landH776.
But JudahH3063 shall dwellH3427 for everH5769, and JerusalemH3389 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {dwell: or, abide}
For I will cleanseH5352 their bloodH1818 that I have not cleansedH5352: for the LORDH3068 dwellethH7931 in ZionH6726. {for the…: or, even I the LORD that}
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 hath madeG1659 meG3165 freeG1659 fromG575 the lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 they that areG5607 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG4561; butG1161 they that are afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
So thenG1161 they that areG5607 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG3756+G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
ButG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so beG1512 that the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213. NowG1161 if any manG1536 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG2076 noneG3756 of hisG846.
AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 be inG1722 youG5213, the bodyG4983+G3303 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266; butG1161 the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343.
ButG1161 ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG5213, he that raised upG1453 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498 shallG2227 alsoG2532 quickenG2227 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 that dwellethG1774 inG1722 youG5213. {by: or, because of}
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, we areG2070 debtorsG3781, notG3756 to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theyG3778 areG1526 the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ye haveG2983 notG3756 receivedG2983 the spiritG4151 of bondageG1397 againG3825 toG1519 fearG5401; butG235 ye have receivedG2983 the SpiritG4151 of adoptionG5206, wherebyG1722+G3739 we cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.
The SpiritG4151 itselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 with ourG2257 spiritG4151, thatG3754 we areG2070 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316:
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
ForG1063 the earnest expectationG603 of the creatureG2937 waitethG553 for the manifestationG602 of the sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 the creatureG2937 was made subjectG5293 to vanityG3153, notG3756 willinglyG1635, butG235 by reasonG1223 of him who hath subjectedG5293 the same inG1909 hopeG1680,
BecauseG3754 the creatureG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shall be deliveredG1659 fromG575 the bondageG1397 of corruptionG5356 intoG1519 the gloriousG1391 libertyG1657 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the wholeG3956 creationG2937 groanethG4959 andG2532 travaileth in pain togetherG4944 untilG891 nowG3568. {the…: or, every creature}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 they, butG235 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532, which haveG2192 the firstfruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG846 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 for the adoptionG5206, to wit, the redemptionG629 of ourG2257 bodyG4983.
ForG1063 we are savedG4982 by hopeG1680: butG1161 hopeG1680 that is seenG991 isG2076 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whatG3739 a manG5100 seethG991, whyG5101 doth heG1679 yetG2532 hope forG1679?
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
LikewiseG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpethG4878 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769: forG1063 we knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 we should pray forG4336 asG2526 we oughtG1163: butG235 the SpiritG4151 itselfG846 maketh intercessionG5241 forG5228 usG2257 with groaningsG4726 which cannot be utteredG215.
AndG1161 he that searchethG2045 the heartsG2588 knowethG1492 whatG5101 is the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 he maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 the saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316. {because: or, that}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
WhoG5101 shall separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of ChristG5547? shall tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 persecutionG1375, orG2228 famineG3042, orG2228 nakednessG1132, orG2228 perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162?
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, For thyG4675 sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 the day longG2250; we are accountedG3049 asG5613 sheepG4263 for the slaughterG4967.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
NorG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 creatureG2937, shall be ableG1410 to separateG5563 usG2248 fromG575 the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971? or which of my creditorsH5383 is it to whom I have soldH4376 you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376 yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.
Wherefore, when I cameH935, was there no manH376? when I calledH7121, was there none to answerH6030? Is my handH3027 shortenedH7114 at allH7114, that it cannot redeemH6304? or have I no powerH3581 to deliverH5337? behold, at my rebukeH1606 I dry upH2717 the seaH3220, I makeH7760 the riversH5104 a wildernessH4057: their fishH1710 stinkethH887, because there is no waterH4325, and diethH4191 for thirstH6772.
I clotheH3847 the heavensH8064 with blacknessH6940, and I makeH7760 sackclothH8242 their coveringH3682.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath givenH5414 me the tongueH3956 of the learnedH3928, that I should knowH3045 how to speakH5790 a wordH1697 in season to him that is wearyH3287: he wakenethH5782 morningH1242 by morningH1242, he wakenethH5782 mine earH241 to hearH8085 as the learnedH3928.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath openedH6605 mine earH241, and I was not rebelliousH4784, neither turned awayH5472 backH268.
I gaveH5414 my backH1460 to the smitersH5221, and my cheeksH3895 to them that plucked offH4803 the hair: I hidH5641 not my faceH6440 from shameH3639 and spittingH7536.
For the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637: therefore have I setH7760 my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045 that I shall not be ashamedH954.
He is nearH7138 that justifiethH6663 me; who will contendH7378 with me? let us standH5975 togetherH3162: who is mine adversaryH1167+H4941? let him come nearH5066 to me. {mine…: Heb. the master of my cause?}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; who is he that shall condemnH7561 me? lo, they all shall wax oldH1086 as a garmentH899; the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398.
Who is among you that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, that obeyethH8085 the voiceH6963 of his servantH5650, that walkethH1980 in darknessH2825, and hath no lightH5051? let him trustH982 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and stayH8172 upon his GodH430.
Behold, all ye that kindleH6919 a fireH784, that compass yourselves aboutH247 with sparksH2131: walkH3212 in the lightH217 of your fireH784, and in the sparksH2131 that ye have kindledH1197. This shall ye have of mine handH3027; ye shall lie downH7901 in sorrowH4620.
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
