Of the sonsH1121 of JoabH3097; ObadiahH5662 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, and with him two hundredH3967 and eighteenH8083+H6240 malesH2145.
MattaniahH4983, and BakbukiahH1229, ObadiahH5662, MeshullamH4918, TalmonH2929, AkkubH6126, were portersH7778 keepingH8104 the wardH4929 at the thresholdsH624 of the gatesH8179. {thresholds: or, treasuries, or, assemblies}
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
And it came to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346, that ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389:
And he took awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004; he even took awayH3947 all: and he took awayH3947 all the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. {carried…: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6.}
And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, at BethshemeshH1053, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 unto the cornerH6438 gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.
And he tookH3947 all the goldH2091 and silverH3701, and all the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and hostagesH1121+H8594, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
FleeH5127 ye, turn backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 upon him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him. {turn…: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherersH1219 comeH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaning grapesH5955? if thievesH1590 by nightH3915, they will destroyH7843 till they have enoughH1767. {till…: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his secret placesH4565, and he shall not be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himself: his seedH2233 is spoiledH7703, and his brethrenH251, and his neighboursH7934, and he is not.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 against BabylonH894 and against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 byH3027 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. {by…: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
DeclareH5046 ye among the nationsH1471, and publishH8085, and set upH5375 a standardH5251; publishH8085, and concealH3582 not: sayH559, BabylonH894 is takenH3920, BelH1078 is confoundedH3001, MerodachH4781 is broken in piecesH2865; her idolsH6091 are confoundedH3001, her imagesH1544 are broken in piecesH2865. {set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the northH6828 there cometh upH5927 a nationH1471 against her, which shall makeH7896 her landH776 desolateH8047, and none shall dwellH3427 therein: they shall removeH5110, they shall departH1980, both manH120 and beastH929.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 togetherH3162, goingH1980 and weepingH1058: they shall goH3212, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
They shall askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherwardH2008, saying, ComeH935, and let us joinH3867 ourselves to the LORDH3068 in a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
My peopleH5971 hath been lostH6 sheepH6629: their shepherdsH7462 have caused them to go astrayH8582, they have turned them awayH7725+H7726 on the mountainsH2022: they have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH1389, they have forgottenH7911 their restingplaceH7258. {restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that foundH4672 them have devouredH398 them: and their adversariesH6862 saidH559, We offendH816 not, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, the habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, even the LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of their fathersH1.
RemoveH5110 out of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and go forthH3318+H3318 out of the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and be as the he goatsH6260 beforeH6440 the flocksH6629.
For, lo, I will raiseH5782 and cause to come upH5927 against BabylonH894 an assemblyH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the northH6828 countryH776: and they shall set themselves in arrayH6186 against her; from thence she shall be takenH3920: their arrowsH2671 shall be as of a mightyH1368 expert manH7919+H7921; none shall returnH7725 in vainH7387. {expert…: or, destroyer}
And ChaldeaH3778 shall be a spoilH7998: all that spoilH7997 her shall be satisfiedH7646, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Because ye were gladH8055, because ye rejoicedH5937, O ye destroyersH8154 of mine heritageH5159, because ye are grown fatH6335 as the heiferH5697 at grassH1877+H1758, and bellowH6670 as bullsH47; {fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow…: or, neigh as steeds}
Your motherH517 shall be soreH3966 confoundedH954; she that bareH3205 you shall be ashamedH2659: behold, the hindermostH319 of the nationsH1471 shall be a wildernessH4057, a dry landH6723, and a desertH6160.
Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 it shall not be inhabitedH3427, but it shall be wholly desolateH8077: every one that goethH5674 by BabylonH894 shall be astonishedH8074, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347.
Put yourselves in arrayH6186 against BabylonH894 round aboutH5439: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, shootH3034 at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
Cut offH3772 the sowerH2232 from BabylonH894, and him that handlethH8610 the sickleH4038 in the timeH6256 of harvestH7105: for fearH6440 of the oppressingH3238 swordH2719 they shall turnH6437 every oneH376 to his peopleH5971, and they shall fleeH5127 every oneH376 to his own landH776. {sickle; or, scythe}
IsraelH3478 is a scatteredH6340 sheepH7716; the lionsH738 have driven him awayH5080: firstH7223 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hath devouredH398 him; and lastH314 this NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath broken his bonesH6105.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and his landH776, as I have punishedH6485 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And I will bringH7725 IsraelH3478 againH7725 to his habitationH5116, and he shall feedH7462 on CarmelH3760 and BashanH1316, and his soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 upon mountH2022 EphraimH669 and GileadH1568.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be sought forH1245, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardonH5545 them whom I reserveH7604.
Go upH5927 against the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, even against it, and against the inhabitantsH3427 of PekodH6489: wasteH2717 and utterly destroyH2763 afterH310 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A soundH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath openedH6605 his armouryH214, and hath brought forthH3318 the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195: for this is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.
ComeH935 against her from the utmost borderH7093, openH6605 her storehousesH3965: cast her upH5549 as heapsH6194, and destroy her utterlyH2763: let nothing of her be leftH7611. {from…: Heb. from the end} {cast…: or, tread her}
SlayH2717 all her bullocksH6499; let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874: woeH1945 unto them! for their dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, campH2583 against it round aboutH5439; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore shall her young menH970 fallH5307 in the streetsH7339, and all her menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. {most…: Heb. pride}
And the most proudH2087 shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raise him upH6965: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all round aboutH5439 him. {the…: Heb. pride}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 were oppressedH6231 togetherH3162: and all that took them captivesH7617 held them fastH2388; they refusedH3985 to let them goH7971.
Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he shall throughlyH7378 pleadH7378 their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the landH776, and disquietH7264 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.
A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men.
A swordH2719 is upon the liarsH907; and they shall doteH2973: a swordH2719 is upon her mighty menH1368; and they shall be dismayedH2865. {liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mingled peopleH6154 that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall become as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuresH214; and they shall be robbedH962.
A droughtH2721 is upon her watersH4325; and they shall be dried upH3001: for it is the landH776 of graven imagesH6456, and they are madH1984 upon their idolsH367.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desertH6728 with the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall dwellH3427 there, and the owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for everH5331; neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
As GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; so shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 therein.
Behold, a peopleH5971 shall comeH935 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 nationH1471, and manyH7227 kingsH4428 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall holdH2388 the bowH7198 and the lanceH3591: they are cruelH394, and will not shew mercyH7355: their voiceH6963 shall roarH1993 like the seaH3220, and they shall rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, every one put in arrayH6186, like a manH376 to the battleH4421, against thee, O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath heardH8085 the reportH8088 of them, and his handsH3027 waxed feebleH7503: anguishH6869 took holdH2388 of him, and pangsH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 unto the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will makeH7323 them suddenlyH7280 run awayH7323+H7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against BabylonH894; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
At the noiseH6963 of the takingH8610 of BabylonH894 the earthH776 is movedH7493, and the cryH2201 is heardH8085 among the nationsH1471.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will raise upH5782 against BabylonH894, and against them that dwellH3427 in the midstH3820 of them that rise upH6965 against me, a destroyingH7843 windH7307; {midst: Heb. heart}
And will sendH7971 unto BabylonH894 fannersH2114, that shall fanH2219 her, and shall emptyH1238 her landH776: for in the dayH3117 of troubleH7451 they shall be against her round aboutH5439.
Against him that bendethH1869 let the archerH1869 bendH1869 his bowH7198, and against him that lifteth himself upH5927 in his brigandineH5630: and spareH2550 ye not her young menH970; destroy ye utterlyH2763 all her hostH6635.
Thus the slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they that are thrust throughH1856 in her streetsH2351.
For IsraelH3478 hath not been forsakenH488, nor JudahH3063 of his GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; though their landH776 was filledH4390 with sinH817 against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Flee outH5127 of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and deliverH4422 every manH376 his soulH5315: be not cut offH1826 in her iniquityH5771; for this is the timeH6256 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will renderH7999 unto her a recompenceH1576.
BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunkenH7937: the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354 of her wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are madH1984.
BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyedH7665: howlH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.
We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
The LORDH3068 hath brought forthH3318 our righteousnessH6666: comeH935, and let us declareH5608 in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Make brightH1305 the arrowsH2671; gatherH4390 the shieldsH7982: the LORDH3068 hath raised upH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074: for his deviceH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it; because it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964. {bright: Heb. pure}
Set upH5375 the standardH5251 upon the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, make the watchH4929 strongH2388, set upH6965 the watchmenH8104, prepareH3559 the ambushesH693: for the LORDH3068 hath both devisedH2161 and doneH6213 that which he spakeH1696 against the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894. {ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}
O thou that dwellestH7931+H7931 upon manyH7227 watersH4325, abundantH7227 in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935, and the measureH520 of thy covetousnessH1215.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saying, Surely I will fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with caterpillersH3218; and they shall lift upH6030 a shoutH1959 against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavenH8064 by his understandingH8394.
When he utterethH5414 his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064; and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776: he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. {multitude: or, noise}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 by his knowledgeH1847; every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {is brutish…: or, is more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them; for he is the formerH3335 of all things: and Israel is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
Thou art my battle axeH4661 and weaponsH3627 of warH4421: for with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the nationsH1471, and with thee will I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467; {with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the chariotH7393 and his riderH7392;
With thee also will I break in piecesH5310 manH376 and womanH802; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 oldH2205 and youngH5288; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the young manH970 and the maidH1330;
I will also break in piecesH5310 with thee the shepherdH7462 and his flockH5739; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the husbandmanH406 and his yoke of oxenH6776; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 captainsH6346 and rulersH5461.
And I will renderH7999 unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778 all their evilH7451 that they have doneH6213 in ZionH6726 in your sightH5869, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O destroyingH4889 mountainH2022, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which destroyestH7843 all the earthH776: and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and roll thee downH1556 from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414 thee a burntH8316 mountainH2022.
And they shall not takeH3947 of thee a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438, nor a stoneH68 for foundationsH4146; but thou shalt be desolateH8077 for everH5769, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {desolate…: Heb. everlasting desolations}
Set ye upH5375 a standardH5251 in the landH776, blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471, prepareH6942 the nationsH1471 against her, call togetherH8085 against her the kingdomsH4467 of AraratH780, MinniH4508, and AshchenazH813; appointH6485 a captainH2951 against her; cause the horsesH5483 to come upH5927 as the roughH5569 caterpillersH3218.
PrepareH6942 against her the nationsH1471 with the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, the captainsH6346 thereof, and all the rulersH5461 thereof, and all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.
And the landH776 shall trembleH7493 and sorrowH2342: for every purposeH4284 of the LORDH3068 shall be performedH6965 against BabylonH894, to makeH7760 the landH776 of BabylonH894 a desolationH8047 without an inhabitantH3427.
The mighty menH1368 of BabylonH894 have forbornH2308 to fightH3898, they have remainedH3427 in their holdsH4679: their mightH1369 hath failedH5405; they became as womenH802: they have burnedH3341 her dwellingplacesH4908; her barsH1280 are brokenH7665.
One postH7323 shall runH7323 to meetH7125 anotherH7323, and one messengerH5046 to meetH7125 anotherH5046, to shewH5046 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 that his cityH5892 is takenH3920 at one endH7097,
And that the passagesH4569 are stoppedH8610, and the reedsH98 they have burnedH8313 with fireH784, and the menH582 of warH4421 are affrightedH926.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshingfloorH1637, it is timeH6256 to threshH1869 her: yet a little whileH4592, and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall comeH935. {it is…: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 be upon BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726 sayH559; and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559. {The violence…: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will pleadH7378 thy causeH7379, and take vengeanceH5358 for theeH5360; and I will dry upH2717 her seaH3220, and make her springsH4726 dryH3001.
And BabylonH894 shall become heapsH1530, a dwellingplaceH4583 for dragonsH8577, an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, without an inhabitantH3427.
They shall roarH7580 togetherH3162 like lionsH3715: they shall yellH5286 as lions'H738 whelpsH1484. {yell: or, shake themselves}
In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896 their feastsH4960, and I will make them drunkenH7937, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will bring them downH3381 like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873, like ramsH352 with he goatsH6260.
How is SheshachH8347 takenH3920! and how is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 surprisedH8610! how is BabylonH894 become an astonishmentH8047 among the nationsH1471!
The seaH3220 is come upH5927 upon BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680 with the multitudeH1995 of the wavesH1530 thereof.
Her citiesH5892 are a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a wildernessH6160, a landH776 wherein no manH376 dwellethH3427, neither doth any sonH1121 of manH120 passH5674 therebyH2004.
And I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bring forthH3318 out of his mouthH6310 that which he hath swallowed upH1105: and the nationsH1471 shall not flow togetherH5102 any more unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fallH5307.
My peopleH5971, go ye outH3318 of the midstH8432 of her, and deliverH4422 ye every manH376 his soulH5315 from the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.
And lest your heartH3824 faintH7401, and ye fearH3372 for the rumourH8052 that shall be heardH8085 in the landH776; a rumourH8052 shall both comeH935 one yearH8141, and afterH310 that in another yearH8141 shall come a rumourH8052, and violenceH2555 in the landH776, rulerH4910 against rulerH4910. {lest: or, let not}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will do judgmentH6485 upon the graven imagesH6456 of BabylonH894: and her whole landH776 shall be confoundedH954, and all her slainH2491 shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of her. {do…: Heb. visit upon}
Then the heavenH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is therein, shall singH7442 for BabylonH894: for the spoilersH7703 shall comeH935 unto her from the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
AsH1571 BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307, so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307 the slainH2491 of all the earthH776. {As…: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}
Ye that have escapedH6405 the swordH2719, go awayH1980, stand not stillH5975: rememberH2142 the LORDH3068 afar offH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927 into your mindH3824.
We are confoundedH954, because we have heardH8085 reproachH2781: shameH3639 hath coveredH3680 our facesH6440: for strangersH2114 are comeH935 into the sanctuariesH4720 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
Wherefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will do judgmentH6485 upon her graven imagesH6456: and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.
Though BabylonH894 should mount upH5927 to heavenH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219 the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yetH227 from me shall spoilersH7703 comeH935 unto her, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 cometh from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778:
Because the LORDH3068 hath spoiledH7703 BabylonH894, and destroyedH6 out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; when her wavesH1530 do roarH1993 like greatH7227 watersH4325, a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:
Because the spoilerH7703 is comeH935 upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mighty menH1368 are takenH3920, every one of their bowsH7198 is brokenH2865: for the LORDH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999 requiteH7999.
And I will make drunkH7937 her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 men, her captainsH6346, and her rulersH5461, and her mighty menH1368: and they shall sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterlyH6209 brokenH6209, and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784; and the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021 in vainH7385, and the folkH3816 inH1767 the fireH784, and they shall be wearyH3286. {The broad…: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
The wordH1697 which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4271, when he wentH3212 with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. And this SeraiahH8304 was a quietH4496 princeH8269. {with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet…: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}
So JeremiahH3414 wroteH3789 in aH259 bookH5612 all the evilH7451 that should comeH935 upon BabylonH894, even all these wordsH1697 that are writtenH3789 against BabylonH894.
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to SeraiahH8304, When thou comestH935 to BabylonH894, and shalt seeH7200, and shalt readH7121 all these wordsH1697;
Then shalt thou sayH559, O LORDH3068, thou hast spokenH1696 against this placeH4725, to cut it offH3772, that none shall remainH3427 in it, neither manH120 nor beastH929, but that it shall be desolateH8077 for everH5769. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
And it shall be, when thou hast made an endH3615 of readingH7121 this bookH5612, that thou shalt bindH7194 a stoneH68 to it, and castH7993 it into the midstH8432 of EuphratesH6578:
And thou shalt sayH559, Thus shall BabylonH894 sinkH8257, and shall not riseH6965 fromH6440 the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon her: and they shall be wearyH3286. Thus far are the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414.
The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning EdomH123; We have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 among the heathenH1471, AriseH6965 ye, and let us rise upH6965 against her in battleH4421.
Though thou exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, thence will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Shall I not in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, even destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215?
Who hath believedH539 our reportH8052? and to whom is the armH2220 of the LORDH3068 revealedH1540? {report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}
I have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 unto the heathenH1471, saying, Gather ye togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and rise upH6965 to the battleH4421.
OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. {O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
I will sendH7971 him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680, to takeH7997 the spoilH7998, and to takeH962 the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760+H4823 like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. {tread…: Heb. lay them a treading}
Howbeit he meanethH1819 not so, neither doth his heartH3824 thinkH2803 so; but it is in his heartH3824 to destroyH8045 and cut offH3772 nationsH1471 not a fewH4592.
For he saithH559, Are not my princesH8269 altogetherH3162 kingsH4428?
Is not CalnoH3641 as CarchemishH3751? is not HamathH2574 as ArpadH774? is not SamariaH8111 as DamascusH1834?
As my handH3027 hath foundH4672 the kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, and whose graven imagesH6456 did excel them of JerusalemH3389 and of SamariaH8111;
Shall I not, as I have doneH6213 unto SamariaH8111 and her idolsH457, so doH6213 to JerusalemH3389 and her idolsH6091?
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and spakeG2036 unto themG846 againG3825 byG1722 parablesG3850, and saidG3004,
The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likeG3666 unto a certainG444 kingG935, whichG3748 madeG4160 a marriageG1062 for hisG846 sonG5207,
AndG2532 sent forthG649 hisG846 servantsG1401 to callG2564 them that were biddenG2564 toG1519 the weddingG1062: andG2532 they wouldG2309 notG3756 comeG2064.
AgainG3825, he sent forthG649 otherG243 servantsG1401, sayingG3004, TellG2036 them which are biddenG2564, BeholdG2400, I have preparedG2090 myG3450 dinnerG712: myG3450 oxenG5022 andG2532 my fatlingsG4619 are killedG2380, andG2532 all thingsG3956 are readyG2092: comeG1205 untoG1519 the marriageG1062.
ButG1161 they made light ofG272 it, and went their waysG565, oneG3303 toG1519 hisG2398 farmG68, anotherG1161 toG1519 hisG846 merchandiseG1711:
AndG1161 the remnantG3062 tookG2902 hisG846 servantsG1401, and entreated them spitefullyG5195, andG2532 slewG615 them.
ButG1161 when the kingG935 heardG191 thereof, he was wrothG3710: andG2532 he sent forthG3992 hisG846 armiesG4753, and destroyedG622 thoseG1565 murderersG5406, andG2532 burned upG1714 theirG846 cityG4172.
ThenG5119 saith heG3004 to hisG846 servantsG1401+G3303, The weddingG1062 isG2076 readyG2092, butG1161 they which were biddenG2564 wereG2258 notG3756 worthyG514.
Go yeG4198 thereforeG3767 intoG1909 the highwaysG1327+G3598, andG2532 as many asG3745+G302 ye shall findG2147, bidG2564 toG1519 the marriageG1062.
SoG2532 thoseG1565 servantsG1401 went outG1831 intoG1519 the highwaysG3598, and gathered togetherG4863 allG3956 as many asG3745 they foundG2147, bothG5037 badG4190 andG2532 goodG18: andG2532 the weddingG1062 was furnishedG4130 with guestsG345.
AndG1161 whenG1525 the kingG935 came inG1525 to seeG2300 the guestsG345, he sawG1492 thereG1563 a manG444 which hadG1746 notG3756 onG1746 a weddingG1062 garmentG1742:
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, FriendG2083, howG4459 camest thouG1525 in hitherG5602 notG3361 havingG2192 a weddingG1062 garmentG1742? AndG1161 he was speechlessG5392.
ThenG5119 saidG2036 the kingG935 to the servantsG1249, BindG1210 himG846 handG5495 andG2532 footG4228, and takeG142 himG846 awayG142, andG2532 castG1544 him intoG1519 outerG1857 darknessG4655; thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
ForG1063 manyG4183 areG1526 calledG2822, butG1161 fewG3641 are chosenG1588.
And in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 NebuchadnezzarH5019 dreamedH2492 dreamsH2472, wherewith his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470, and his sleepH8142 brakeH1961 from him.
Then the kingH4428 commandedH559 to callH7121 the magiciansH2748, and the astrologersH825, and the sorcerersH3784, and the ChaldeansH3778, for to shewH5046 the kingH4428 his dreamsH2472. So they cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and my spiritH7307 was troubledH6470 to knowH3045 the dreamH2472.
Then spakeH1696 the ChaldeansH3778 to the kingH4428 in SyriackH762, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: tellH560 thy servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the ChaldeansH3779, The thingH4406 is goneH230 from meH4481: ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, with the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and your housesH1005 shall be madeH7761 a dunghillH5122. {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
But ifH2006 ye shewH2324 the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall receiveH6902 ofH4481 meH6925 giftsH4978 and rewardsH5023 and greatH7690 honourH3367: thereforeH3861 shewH2324 me the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answeredH6032 againH8579 and saidH560, Let the kingH4430 tellH560 his servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of it.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, IH576 knowH3046 ofH4481 certaintyH3330 that yeH608 would gainH2084 the timeH5732, becauseH6903+H3606 ye seeH2370 the thingH4406 is goneH230 fromH4481 me. {gain: Cald. buy}
But ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, there is but oneH1932+H2298 decreeH1882 for you: for ye have preparedH2164 lyingH3538 and corruptH7844 wordsH4406 to speakH560 beforeH6925 me, tillH5705 the timeH5732 be changedH8133: thereforeH3861 tellH560 me the dreamH2493, and I shall knowH3046 thatH1768 ye can shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, There isH383 notH3809 a manH606 uponH5922 the earthH3007 that canH3202 shewH2324 the king'sH4430 matterH4406: thereforeH6903+H1768 there is noH3809 kingH4430, lordH7229, nor rulerH7990, that askedH7593 suchH1836 thingsH4406 at anyH3606 magicianH2749, or astrologerH826, or ChaldeanH3779.
And it is a rareH3358 thingH4406 that the kingH4430 requirethH7593, and there isH383 noneH3809 otherH321 that can shewH2324 it beforeH6925 the kingH4430, exceptH3861 the godsH426, whose dwellingH4070 isH383 notH3809 withH5974 fleshH1321.
ForH6903 thisH1836 causeH3606 the kingH4430 was angryH1149 and veryH7690 furiousH7108, and commandedH560 to destroyH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
And the decreeH1882 went forthH5312 that the wiseH2445 men should be slainH6992; and they soughtH1156 DanielH1841 and his fellowsH2269 to be slainH6992.
ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH8421 with counselH5843 and wisdomH2942 to AriochH746 the captainH7229 ofH1768 the king'sH4430 guardH2877, which was gone forthH5312 to slayH6992 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895: {answered…: Cald. returned} {captain…: or, chief marshal: Cald. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
He answeredH6032 and saidH560 to AriochH746 the king'sH4430 captainH7990, WhyH4101+H5922 is the decreeH1882 so hastyH2685 fromH4481+H6925 the kingH4430? ThenH116 AriochH746 made the thingH4406 knownH3046 to DanielH1841.
Then DanielH1841 went inH5954, and desiredH1156 ofH4481 the kingH4430 that he would giveH5415 him timeH2166, and that he would shewH2324 the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.
ThenH116 DanielH1841 wentH236 to his houseH1005, and made the thingH4406 knownH3046 to HananiahH2608, MishaelH4333, and AzariahH5839, his companionsH2269:
That they would desireH1156 merciesH7359 ofH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 concerningH5922 thisH1836 secretH7328; that DanielH1841 and his fellowsH2269 should notH3809 perishH7 withH5974 the restH7606 of the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895. {of the God: Cald. from before God} {that Daniel…: or, that they should not destroy Daniel, etc}
ThenH116 was the secretH7328 revealedH1541 unto DanielH1841 in a nightH3916 visionH2376. ThenH116 DanielH1841 blessedH1289 the GodH426 of heavenH8065.
DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560, BlessedH1289 beH1934 the nameH8036 of GodH426 forH4481 everH5957 and everH5705+H5957: for wisdomH2452 and mightH1370 areH1932 his:
And he changethH8133 the timesH5732 and the seasonsH2166: he removethH5709 kingsH4430, and setteth upH6966 kingsH4430: he givethH3052 wisdomH2452 unto the wiseH2445, and knowledgeH4486 to them that knowH3046 understandingH999:
He revealethH1541 the deepH5994 and secret thingsH5642: he knowethH3046 whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, and the lightH5094 dwellethH8271 with himH5974.
IH576 thankH3029 thee, and praiseH7624 thee, O thou GodH426 of my fathersH2, who hast givenH3052 me wisdomH2452 and mightH1370, and hast made knownH3046 unto me nowH3705 what we desiredH1156 of theeH4481: for thou hast now made knownH3046 unto us the king'sH4430 matterH4406.
ThereforeH3606+H6903+H1836 DanielH1841 went inH5954 untoH5922 AriochH746, whom the kingH4430 had ordainedH4483 to destroyH7 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895: he wentH236 and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him; DestroyH7 notH409 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895: bring me inH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and I will shewH2324 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.
ThenH116 AriochH746 brought inH5954 DanielH1841 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 in hasteH927, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him, I have foundH7912 a manH1400 of the captivesH1123+H1547 ofH4481 JudahH3061, that will make knownH3046 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591. {I have…: Cald. That I have found} {captives…: Cald. children of the captivity of Judah}
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, ArtH383 thou ableH3546 to make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 which I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof?
DanielH1841 answeredH6032 in the presenceH6925 of the kingH4430, and saidH560, The secretH7328 which the kingH4430 hath demandedH7593 cannotH3202+H3809 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, the magiciansH2749, the soothsayersH1505, shewH2324 unto the kingH4430;
ButH1297 there isH383 a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealethH1541 secretsH7328, and maketh knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 shall beH1934 in the latterH320 daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 uponH5922 thy bedH4903, are theseH1836; {maketh…: Cald. hath made known}
As for theeH607, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 cameH5559 into thy mind uponH5922 thy bedH4903, whatH4101 should come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and he that revealethH1541 secretsH7328 maketh knownH3046 to thee whatH4101 shall come to passH1934. {came: Cald. came up}
But as for meH576, thisH1836 secretH7328 is notH3809 revealedH1541 to me for any wisdomH2452 that I haveH383 more thanH4481 anyH3606 livingH2417, butH3861 for their sakesH1701 thatH5922 shall make knownH3046 the interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430, and that thou mightest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825. {but for…: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
ThouH607, O kingH4430, sawestH1934+H2370, and beholdH431 a greatH2298+H7690 imageH6755. ThisH1797 greatH7229 imageH6755, whose brightnessH2122 was excellentH3493, stoodH6966 beforeH6903 thee; and the formH7299 thereof was terribleH1763. {sawest: Cald. wast seeing}
This image'sH6755 headH7217 was of fineH2869 goldH1722, his breastH2306 and his armsH1872 of silverH3702, his bellyH4577 and his thighsH3410 of brassH5174, {thighs: or, sides}
His legsH8243 of ironH6523, his feetH7271 partH4481 of ironH6523 and partH4481 of clayH2635.
Thou sawestH2370+H1934 tillH5705 that a stoneH69 was cut outH1505 withoutH3809 handsH3028, which smoteH4223 the imageH6755 uponH5922 his feetH7271 that were of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and brakeH1855 themH1994 to piecesH1855. {without…: or, which was not in hands}
ThenH116 was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brassH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken to piecesH1855+H1751 togetherH2298, and becameH1934 like the chaffH5784 ofH4481 the summerH7007 threshingfloorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 themH1994 awayH5376, thatH3606 noH3809 placeH870 was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smoteH4223 the imageH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906, and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.
ThisH1836 is the dreamH2493; and we will tellH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof beforeH6925 the kingH4430.
ThouH607, O kingH4430, art a kingH4430 of kingsH4430: for the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 thee a kingdomH4437, powerH2632, and strengthH8632, and gloryH3367.
And wheresoeverH3606 the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowlsH5776 of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath made thee rulerH7981 over them allH3606. ThouH607 art this headH7217 of goldH1722.
And afterH870 thee shall ariseH6966 anotherH317 kingdomH4437 inferiorH772 to theeH4481, and anotherH317 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of brassH5174, which shall bear ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772.
And the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 strongH8624 as ironH6523: forasmuch as ironH6523 breaketh in piecesH1855 and subduethH2827 allH3606 things: and asH6903 ironH6523 that breakethH7490 allH3606 theseH459, shall it break in piecesH1855 and bruiseH7490.
And whereas thou sawestH2370 the feetH7271 and toesH677, partH4481 of potters'H6353 clayH2635, and partH4481 of ironH6523, the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 dividedH6386; butH4481 there shall beH1934 in it ofH4481 the strengthH5326 of the ironH6523, forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635.
And as the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635, so the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 partlyH4481+H7118 strongH8624, and partlyH4481+H7118 brokenH8406. {broken: or, brittle}
And whereasH1768 thou sawestH2370 ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635, they shall mingle themselvesH1934+H6151 with the seedH2234 of menH606: but they shallH1934 notH3809 cleaveH1693 oneH1836 toH5974 anotherH1836, evenH1888 as ironH6523 is notH3809 mixedH6151 with clayH2635. {one…: Cald. this with this}
And in the daysH3118 of theseH581 kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 set upH6966 a kingdomH4437, which shall neverH5957+H3809 be destroyedH2255: and the kingdomH4437 shall notH3809 be leftH7662 to otherH321 peopleH5972, but it shall break in piecesH1855 and consumeH5487 allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, and itH1932 shall standH6966 for everH5957. {the days: Cald. their days} {the kingdom: Cald the kingdom thereof}
Forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 that the stoneH69 was cut outH1505 of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028, and that it brake in piecesH1855 the ironH6523, the brassH5174, the clayH2635, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722; the greatH7229 GodH426 hath made knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 shall come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and the dreamH2493 is certainH3330, and the interpretationH6591 thereof sureH540. {without…: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Cald. after this}
ThenH116 the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 fellH5308 uponH5922 his faceH600, and worshippedH5457 DanielH1841, and commandedH560 that they should offerH5260 an oblationH4504 and sweet odoursH5208 unto him.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 unto DanielH1841, and saidH560, OfH4481 a truthH7187 it is, thatH1768 your GodH426 is a GodH426 of godsH426, and a LordH4756 of kingsH4430, and a revealerH1541 of secretsH7328, seeing thou couldestH3202 revealH1541 thisH1836 secretH7328.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 madeH7236 DanielH1841 a great manH7236, and gaveH3052 him manyH7690 greatH7260 giftsH4978, and made him rulerH7981 overH5922 the wholeH3606 provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, and chiefH7229 of the governorsH5460 overH5922 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
Then DanielH1841 requestedH1156 ofH4481 the kingH4430, and he setH4483 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, overH5922 the affairsH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895: but DanielH1841 sat in the gateH8651 of the kingH4430.
In the firstH2298 yearH8140 of BelshazzarH1113 kingH4430 of BabylonH895 DanielH1841 hadH2370 a dreamH2493 and visionsH2376 of his headH7217 uponH5922 his bedH4903: thenH116 he wroteH3790 the dreamH2493, and toldH560 the sumH7217 of the mattersH4406. {had: Cald. saw} {matters: or, words}
DanielH1841 spakeH6032 and saidH560, I sawH2370+H1934 in my visionH2376 byH5974 nightH3916, and, beholdH718, the fourH703 windsH7308 of the heavenH8065 stroveH1519 upon the greatH7229 seaH3221.
And fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came upH5559 fromH4481 the seaH3221, diverseH8133 oneH1668 fromH4481 anotherH1668.
The firstH6933 was like a lionH744, and had eagle'sH5403 wingsH1611: I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the wingsH1611 thereof were pluckedH4804, and it was lifted upH5191 fromH4481 the earthH772, and made standH6966 uponH5922 the feetH7271 as a manH606, and a man'sH606 heartH3825 was givenH3052 to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
And beholdH718 anotherH317 beastH2423, a secondH8578, likeH1821 to a bearH1678, and it raised upH6966 itself on oneH2298 sideH7859, and it had threeH8532 ribsH5967 in the mouthH6433 of it betweenH997 the teethH8128 of it: and they saidH560 thusH3652 unto it, AriseH6966, devourH399 muchH7690 fleshH1321. {it raised…: or, it raised up one dominion}
AfterH870 thisH1836 I beheldH1934+H2370, and loH718 anotherH317, like a leopardH5245, which had uponH5922 the backH1355 of it fourH703 wingsH1611 of a fowlH5776; the beastH2423 had also fourH703 headsH7217; and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it.
AfterH870 thisH1836 I sawH1934+H2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and beholdH718 a fourthH7244 beastH2423, dreadfulH1763 and terribleH574, and strongH8624 exceedinglyH3493; and it had greatH7260 ironH6523 teethH8128: it devouredH399 and brake in piecesH1855, and stampedH7512 the residueH7606 with the feetH7271 of it: and itH1932 was diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the beastsH2423 that were beforeH6925 it; and it had tenH6236 hornsH7162.
I consideredH1934+H7920 the hornsH7162, and, beholdH431, there came upH5559 amongH997 them anotherH317 littleH2192 hornH7162, beforeH6925+H4481 whom there were threeH8532 ofH4481 the firstH6933 hornsH7162 plucked up by the rootsH6132: and, beholdH431, in thisH1668 hornH7162 were eyesH5870 like the eyesH5870 of manH606, and a mouthH6433 speakingH4449 great thingsH7260.
I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the thronesH3764 were cast downH7412, and the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 did sitH3488, whose garmentH3831 was whiteH2358 as snowH8517, and the hairH8177 of his headH7217 like the pureH5343 woolH6015: his throneH3764 was like the fieryH5135 flameH7631, and his wheelsH1535 as burningH1815 fireH5135.
A fieryH5135 streamH5103 issuedH5047 and came forthH5312 fromH4481 beforeH6925 him: thousandH506 thousandsH506 ministeredH8120 unto him, and ten thousandH7240 times ten thousandH7240 stoodH6966 beforeH6925 him: the judgmentH1780 was setH3488, and the booksH5609 were openedH6606.
I beheldH1934+H2370 thenH116 becauseH4481 of the voiceH7032 of the greatH7260 wordsH4406 which the hornH7162 spakeH4449: I beheldH1934+H2370 even tillH5705 the beastH2423 was slainH6992, and his bodyH1655 destroyedH7, and givenH3052 to the burningH3346 flameH785.
As concerning the restH7606 of the beastsH2423, they had their dominionH7985 taken awayH5709: yet their livesH2417 were prolongedH3052 forH5705 a seasonH2166 and timeH5732. {their lives…: Cald. a prolonging in life was given them}
I sawH1934+H2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and, beholdH718, one like the SonH1247 of manH606 cameH858 withH5974 the cloudsH6050 of heavenH8065, and cameH4291 toH5705 the AncientH6268 of daysH3118, and they brought him nearH7127 beforeH6925 him.
And there was givenH3052 him dominionH7985, and gloryH3367, and a kingdomH4437, that allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, should serveH6399 him: his dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, which shall notH3809 pass awayH5709, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255.
IH576 DanielH1841 was grievedH3735 in my spiritH7308 in the midstH1459 of my bodyH5085, and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927 me. {body: Cald. sheath}
I came nearH7127 untoH5922 oneH2298 ofH4481 them that stood byH6966, and askedH1156 himH4481 the truthH3330 of allH3606 thisH1836. So he toldH560 me, and made me knowH3046 the interpretationH6591 of the thingsH4406.
TheseH459 greatH7260 beastsH2423, whichH581 are fourH703, are fourH703 kingsH4430, which shall ariseH6966 out ofH4481 the earthH772.
But the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946 shall takeH6902 the kingdomH4437, and possessH2631 the kingdomH4437 forH5705 everH5957, even forH5705 everH5957 and everH5957. {most…: Cald. high ones, that is, things, or, places}
ThenH116 I wouldH6634 know the truthH3321 ofH5922 the fourthH7244 beastH2423, which wasH1934 diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the others, exceedingH3493 dreadfulH1763, whose teethH8128 were of ironH6523, and his nailsH2953 of brassH5174; which devouredH399, brake in piecesH1855, and stampedH7512 the residueH7606 with his feetH7271; {from…: Cald. from all those}
And ofH5922 the tenH6236 hornsH7162 that were in his headH7217, and of the otherH317 which came upH5559, and beforeH4481+H6925 whom threeH8532 fellH5308; even of that hornH7162 thatH1797 had eyesH5870, and a mouthH6433 that spakeH4449 very great thingsH7260, whose lookH2376 was moreH4481 stoutH7229 thanH4481 his fellowsH2273.
I beheldH1934+H2370, and the sameH1797 hornH7162 madeH5648 warH7129 withH5974 the saintsH6922, and prevailedH3202 against them;
UntilH5705 the AncientH6268 of daysH3118 cameH858+H1768, and judgmentH1780 was givenH3052 to the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946; and the timeH2166 cameH4291 that the saintsH6922 possessedH2631 the kingdomH4437.
ThusH3652 he saidH560, The fourthH7244 beastH2423 shall beH1934 the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 upon earthH772, which shall be diverseH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 kingdomsH4437, and shall devourH399 the wholeH3606 earthH772, and shall tread it downH1759, and break it in piecesH1855.
And the tenH6236 hornsH7162 out ofH4481 this kingdomH4437 are tenH6236 kingsH4430 that shall ariseH6966: and anotherH321 shall riseH6966 afterH311 them; and he shall be diverseH8133 fromH4481 the firstH6933, and he shall subdueH8214 threeH8532 kingsH4430.
And he shall speakH4449 great wordsH4406 againstH6655 the most HighH5943, and shall wear outH1080 the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, and thinkH5452 to changeH8133 timesH2166 and lawsH1882: and they shall be givenH3052 into his handH3028 untilH5705 a timeH5732 and timesH5732 and the dividingH6387 of timeH5732.
But the judgmentH1780 shall sitH3488, and they shall take awayH5709 his dominionH7985, to consumeH8046 and to destroyH7 it untoH5705 the endH5491.
And the kingdomH4437 and dominionH7985, and the greatnessH7238 of the kingdomH4437 underH8460 the wholeH3606 heavenH8065, shall be givenH3052 to the peopleH5972 of the saintsH6922 of the most HighH5946, whose kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and allH3606 dominionsH7985 shall serveH6399 and obeyH8086 him. {dominions: or, rulers}
HithertoH5705+H3542 is the endH5491 of the matterH4406. As for meH576 DanielH1841, my cogitationsH7476 muchH7690 troubledH927 me, and my countenanceH2122 changedH8133 in meH5922: but I keptH5202 the matterH4406 in my heartH3821.
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.
