King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a cottageH5521 in a vineyardH3754, as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbersH4750, as a besiegedH5341 cityH5892.
He buildethH1129 his houseH1004 as a mothH6211, and as a boothH5521 that the keeperH5341 makethH6213.
AhazH271 was twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: but he didH6213 not that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1:
For he walked inH3212 the waysH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and madeH6213 also molten imagesH4541 for BaalimH1168.
Moreover he burnt incenseH6999 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, and burntH1197 his childrenH1121 in the fireH784, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {burnt…: or, offered sacrifice}
He sacrificedH2076 also and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 his GodH430 deliveredH5414 him into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758; and they smoteH5221 him, and carried awayH7617 a great multitudeH1419 of them captivesH7633, and broughtH935 them to DamascusH1834. And he was also deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 him with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
For PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 slewH2026 in JudahH3063 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in oneH259 dayH3117, which were all valiantH2428 menH1121; because they had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {valiant…: Heb. sons of valour}
And ZichriH2147, a mighty manH1368 of EphraimH669, slewH2026 MaaseiahH4641 the king'sH4428 sonH1121, and AzrikamH5840 the governorH5057 of the houseH1004, and ElkanahH511 that was nextH4932 to the kingH4428. {next…: Heb. the second to the king}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 carried away captiveH7617 of their brethrenH251 two hundredH3967 thousandH505, womenH802, sonsH1121, and daughtersH1323, and took also awayH962 muchH7227 spoilH7998 from them, and broughtH935 the spoilH7998 to SamariaH8111.
But a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 was there, whose nameH8034 was OdedH5752: and he went outH3318 beforeH6440 the hostH6635 that cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and saidH559 unto them, Behold, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 was wrothH2534 with JudahH3063, he hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027, and ye have slainH2026 them in a rageH2197 that reacheth upH5060 unto heavenH8064.
And now ye purposeH559 to keep underH3533 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198 unto you: but are there not with you, evenH7535 with you, sinsH819 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
Now hearH8085 me therefore, and deliverH7725 the captivesH7633 again, which ye have taken captiveH7617 of your brethrenH251: for the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 is upon you.
Then certainH582 of the headsH7218 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JohananH3076, BerechiahH1296 the sonH1121 of MeshillemothH4919, and JehizkiahH3169 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of HadlaiH2311, stood upH6965 against them that cameH935 from the warH6635,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
So the armed menH2502 leftH5800 the captivesH7633 and the spoilH961 beforeH6440 the princesH8269 and all the congregationH6951.
And the menH582 which were expressedH5344 by nameH8034 rose upH6965, and tookH2388 the captivesH7633, and with the spoilH7998 clothedH3847 all that were nakedH4636 among them, and arrayedH3847 them, and shodH5274 them, and gave them to eatH398 and to drinkH8248, and anointedH5480 them, and carriedH5095 all the feebleH3782 of them upon assesH2543, and broughtH935 them to JerichoH3405, the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558+H5899, toH681 their brethrenH251: then they returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
At that timeH6256 did kingH4428 AhazH271 sendH7971 unto the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 to helpH5826 him.
For again the EdomitesH130 had comeH935 and smittenH5221 JudahH3063, and carried awayH7617 captivesH7628. {captives: Heb. a captivity}
The PhilistinesH6430 also had invadedH6584 the citiesH5892 of the low countryH8219, and of the southH5045 of JudahH3063, and had takenH3920 BethshemeshH1053, and AjalonH357, and GederothH1450, and ShochoH7755 with the villagesH1323 thereof, and TimnahH8553 with the villagesH1323 thereof, GimzoH1579 also and the villagesH1323 thereof: and they dweltH3427 there.
For the LORDH3068 broughtH3665 JudahH3063 lowH3665 because of AhazH271 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; for he madeH6544 JudahH3063 nakedH6544, and transgressedH4603 soreH4604 against the LORDH3068.
And TilgathpilneserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 unto him, and distressedH6696 him, but strengthenedH2388 him not.
For AhazH271 took away a portionH2505 out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and out of the houseH1004 of the kingH4428, and of the princesH8269, and gaveH5414 it unto the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: but he helpedH5833 him not.
And in the timeH6256 of his distressH6887 did he trespassH4603 yet moreH3254 against the LORDH3068: this is that kingH4428 AhazH271.
For he sacrificedH2076 unto the godsH430 of DamascusH1834, which smoteH5221 him: and he saidH559, Because the godsH430 of the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758 helpH5826 them, therefore will I sacrificeH2076 to them, that they may helpH5826 me. But they were the ruinH3782 of him, and of all IsraelH3478. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
And AhazH271 gathered togetherH622 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and cut in piecesH7112 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and he madeH6213 him altarsH4196 in every cornerH6438 of JerusalemH3389.
And in every several cityH5892 of JudahH3063 he madeH6213 high placesH1116 to burn incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and provoked to angerH3707 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1. {to burn: or, to offer}
Now the restH3499 of his actsH1697 and of all his waysH1870, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478.
And AhazH271 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892, even in JerusalemH3389: but they broughtH935 him not into the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478: and HezekiahH3169 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
BeautifulH3303 for situationH5131, the joyH4885 of the whole earthH776, is mountH2022 ZionH6726, on the sidesH3411 of the northH6828, the cityH7151 of the greatH7227 KingH4428.
The LORDH3068 lovethH157 the gatesH8179 of ZionH6726 more than all the dwellingsH4908 of JacobH3290.
Our feetH7272 shall standH5975 within thy gatesH8179, O JerusalemH3389.
PeaceH7965 be within thy wallsH2426, and prosperityH7962 within thy palacesH759.
For the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 ZionH6726; he hath desiredH183 it for his habitationH4186.
LookH7200 not upon me, because I am blackH7840, because the sunH8121 hath lookedH7805 upon me: my mother'sH517 childrenH1121 were angryH2787 with me; they madeH7760 me the keeperH5201 of the vineyardsH3754; but mine own vineyardH3754 have I not keptH5201.
SolomonH8010 had a vineyardH3754 at BaalhamonH1174; he let outH5414 the vineyardH3754 unto keepersH5201; every oneH376 for the fruitH6529 thereof was to bringH935 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701.
My vineyardH3754, which is mine, is beforeH6440 me: thou, O SolomonH8010, must have a thousandH505, and those that keepH5201 the fruitH6529 thereof two hundredH3967.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Who can utterH4448 the mighty actsH1369 of the LORDH3068? who can shew forthH8085 all his praiseH8416?
BlessedH835 are they that keepH8104 judgmentH4941, and he that doethH6213 righteousnessH6666 at all timesH6256.
RememberH2142 me, O LORDH3068, with the favourH7522 that thou bearest unto thy peopleH5971: O visitH6485 me with thy salvationH3444;
That I may seeH7200 the goodH2896 of thy chosenH972, that I may rejoiceH8055 in the gladnessH8057 of thy nationH1471, that I may gloryH1984 with thine inheritanceH5159.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He rebukedH1605 the RedH5488 seaH3220 also, and it was dried upH2717: so he ledH3212 them through the depthsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.
And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their enemiesH6862: there was not oneH259 of them leftH3498.
Then believedH539 they his wordsH1697; they sangH7891 his praiseH8416.
They soonH4116 forgatH7911 his worksH4639; they waitedH2442 not for his counselH6098: {They soon…: Heb. They made haste, they forgat}
But lustedH183 exceedinglyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452. {lusted…: Heb. lusted a lust}
And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leannessH7332 into their soulH5315.
They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saintH6918 of the LORDH3068.
The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowed upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.
And a fireH784 was kindledH1197 in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burned upH3857 the wickedH7563.
They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshippedH7812 the molten imageH4541.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
They forgatH7911 GodH410 their saviourH3467, which had doneH6213 great thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714;
Wondrous worksH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, and terrible thingsH3372 by the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Therefore he saidH559 that he would destroyH8045 them, had notH3884 MosesH4872 his chosenH972 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him in the breachH6556, to turn awayH7725 his wrathH2534, lest he should destroyH7843 them.
Yea, they despisedH3988 the pleasantH2532 landH776, they believedH539 not his wordH1697: {the pleasant…: Heb. a land of desire}
But murmuredH7279 in their tentsH168, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore he lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against them, to overthrowH5307 them in the wildernessH4057: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
To overthrowH5307 their seedH2233 also among the nationsH1471, and to scatterH2219 them in the landsH776. {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
They joinedH6775 themselves also unto BaalpeorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.
Thus they provoked him to angerH3707 with their inventionsH4611: and the plagueH4046 brake inH6555 upon them.
Then stood upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and so the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666 unto allH1755 generationsH1755 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
They angeredH7107 him also at the watersH4325 of strifeH4808+H4809, so that it went illH3415 with MosesH4872 for their sakes:
Because they provokedH4784 his spiritH7307, so that he spake unadvisedlyH981 with his lipsH8193.
They did not destroyH8045 the nationsH5971, concerning whom the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them:
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
And he gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the heathenH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.
Their enemiesH341 also oppressedH3905 them, and they were brought into subjectionH3665 under their handH3027.
ManyH7227 timesH6471 did he deliverH5337 them; but they provokedH4784 him with their counselH6098, and were brought lowH4355 for their iniquityH5771. {brought…: or, impoverished, or, weakened}
Nevertheless he regardedH7200 their afflictionH6862, when he heardH8085 their cryH7440:
And he rememberedH2142 for them his covenantH1285, and repentedH5162 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
He madeH5414 them also to be pitiedH7356 ofH6440 all those that carried them captivesH7617.
SaveH3467 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, and gatherH6908 us from among the heathenH1471, to give thanksH3034 unto thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and to triumphH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769: and let all the peopleH5971 sayH559, AmenH543. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I AMH1961 THAT I AMH1961: and he saidH559, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, I AM hath sentH7971 me unto you.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have surelyH7200 seenH7200 the afflictionH6040 of my peopleH5971 which are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their cryH6818 by reasonH6440 of their taskmastersH5065; for I knowH3045 their sorrowsH4341;
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, BuildH1129 me here sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and prepareH3559 me here sevenH7651 oxenH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352.
And BalakH1111 didH6213 as BalaamH1109 had spokenH1696; and BalakH1111 and BalaamH1109 offeredH5927 on every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352.
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, StandH3320 by thy burnt offeringH5930, and I will goH3212: peradventure the LORDH3068 will comeH7136 to meetH7125 me: and whatsoeverH1697 he shewethH7200 me I will tellH5046 thee. And he wentH3212 to an high placeH8205. {to an…: or, solitary}
And GodH430 metH7136 BalaamH1109: and he saidH559 unto him, I have preparedH6186 sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and I have offeredH5927 upon every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352.
And the LORDH3068 putH7760 a wordH1697 in Balaam'sH1109 mouthH6310, and saidH559, ReturnH7725 unto BalakH1111, and thus thou shalt speakH1696.
And he returnedH7725 unto him, and, lo, he stoodH5324 by his burnt sacrificeH5930, he, and all the princesH8269 of MoabH4124.
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalakH1111 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath broughtH5148 me from AramH758, out of the mountainsH2042 of the eastH6924, saying, ComeH3212, curseH779 me JacobH3290, and comeH3212, defyH2194 IsraelH3478.
HowH4100 shall I curseH5344, whom GodH410 hath not cursedH6895? or how shall I defyH2194, whom the LORDH3068 hath not defiedH2194?
For from the topH7218 of the rocksH6697 I seeH7200 him, and from the hillsH1389 I beholdH7789 him: lo, the peopleH5971 shall dwellH7931 aloneH910, and shall not be reckonedH2803 among the nationsH1471.
Who can countH4487 the dustH6083 of JacobH3290, and the numberH4557 of the fourthH7255 part of IsraelH3478? Let me dieH4191+H5315 the deathH4194 of the righteousH3477, and let my lastH319 end be like his! {me: Heb. my soul, or, my life}
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, What hast thou doneH6213 unto me? I tookH3947 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast blessedH1288 them altogetherH1288.
And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, Must I not take heedH8104 to speakH1696 that which the LORDH3068 hath putH7760 in my mouthH6310?
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto him, ComeH3212, I pray thee, with me unto anotherH312 placeH4725, from whence thou mayest seeH7200 them: thou shalt seeH7200 butH657 the utmostH7097 part of them, and shalt not seeH7200 them all: and curseH6895 me them from thence.
And he broughtH3947 him into the fieldH7704 of ZophimH6839+H6822, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, and builtH1129 sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and offeredH5927 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 on every altarH4196. {Pisgah: or, the hill}
And he saidH559 unto BalakH1111, StandH3320 hereH3541 by thy burnt offeringH5930, while I meetH7136 the LORD yonderH3541.
And the LORDH3068 metH7136 BalaamH1109, and putH7760 a wordH1697 in his mouthH6310, and saidH559, Go againH7725 unto BalakH1111, and sayH1696 thus.
And when he cameH935 to him, behold, he stoodH5324 by his burnt offeringH5930, and the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 with him. And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto him, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, Rise upH6965, BalakH1111, and hearH8085; hearkenH238 unto me, thou sonH1121 of ZipporH6834:
GodH410 is not a manH376, that he should lieH3576; neither the sonH1121 of manH120, that he should repentH5162: hath he saidH559, and shall he not doH6213 it? or hath he spokenH1696, and shall he not make it goodH6965?
Behold, I have receivedH3947 commandment to blessH1288: and he hath blessedH1288; and I cannot reverseH7725 it.
He hath not beheldH5027 iniquityH205 in JacobH3290, neither hath he seenH7200 perversenessH5999 in IsraelH3478: the LORDH3068 his GodH430 is with him, and the shoutH8643 of a kingH4428 is among them.
GodH410 brought them outH3318 of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214.
Surely there is no enchantmentH5173 against JacobH3290, neither is there any divinationH7081 against IsraelH3478: according to this timeH6256 it shall be saidH559 of JacobH3290 and of IsraelH3478, What hath GodH410 wroughtH6466! {against: or, in}
Behold, the peopleH5971 shall rise upH6965 as a great lionH3833, and lift upH5375 himself as a young lionH738: he shall not lie downH7901 until he eatH398 of the preyH2964, and drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491.
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Neither curseH5344 them at allH6895, nor blessH1288 them at allH1288.
But BalaamH1109 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto BalakH1111, ToldH1696 not I thee, sayingH559, All that the LORDH3068 speakethH1696, that I must doH6213?
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, ComeH3212, I pray thee, I will bringH3947 thee unto anotherH312 placeH4725; peradventure it will pleaseH3474+H5869 GodH430 that thou mayest curseH6895 me them from thence.
And BalakH1111 broughtH3947 BalaamH1109 unto the topH7218 of PeorH6465, that lookethH8259 towardH6440 JeshimonH3452.
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, BuildH1129 me here sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and prepareH3559 me here sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352.
And BalakH1111 didH6213 as BalaamH1109 had saidH559, and offeredH5927 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352 on every altarH4196.
And when BalaamH1109 sawH7200 that it pleasedH5869+H2895 the LORDH3068 to blessH1288 IsraelH3478, he wentH1980 not, as at other timesH6471, to seekH7125 for enchantmentsH5173, but he setH7896 his faceH6440 toward the wildernessH4057. {to seek…: Heb. to the meeting of}
And BalaamH1109 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and he sawH7200 IsraelH3478 abidingH7931 in his tents according to their tribesH7626; and the spiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon him.
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 hath saidH5002, and the manH1397 whose eyesH5869 are openH8365 hath saidH5002: {whose…: Heb. who had his eyes shut, but now opened}
He hath saidH5002, which heardH8085 the wordsH561 of GodH410, which sawH2372 the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, fallingH5307 into a trance, but having his eyesH5869 openH1540:
How goodlyH2895 are thy tentsH168, O JacobH3290, and thy tabernaclesH4908, O IsraelH3478!
As the valleysH5158 are they spread forthH5186, as gardensH1593 by the river's sideH5104, as the trees of lign aloesH174 which the LORDH3068 hath plantedH5193, and as cedar treesH730 beside the watersH4325.
He shall pourH5140 the waterH4325 outH5140 of his bucketsH1805, and his seedH2233 shall be in manyH7227 watersH4325, and his kingH4428 shall be higherH7311 than AgagH90, and his kingdomH4438 shall be exaltedH5375.
GodH410 brought him forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214: he shall eat upH398 the nationsH1471 his enemiesH6862, and shall breakH1633 their bonesH6106, and pierceH4272 them through with his arrowsH2671.
He couchedH3766, he lay downH7901 as a lionH738, and as a great lionH3833: who shall stir him upH6965? BlessedH1288 is he that blessethH1288 thee, and cursedH779 is he that cursethH779 thee.
And Balak'sH1111 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against BalaamH1109, and he smoteH5606 his handsH3709 togetherH5606: and BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, I calledH7121 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast altogetherH1288 blessedH1288 them these threeH7969 timesH6471.
Therefore now fleeH1272 thou to thy placeH4725: I thoughtH559 to promoteH3513 thee unto greatH3513 honourH3513; but, lo, the LORDH3068 hath kept thee backH4513 from honourH3519.
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, SpakeH1696 I not also to thy messengersH4397 which thou sentestH7971 unto me, sayingH559,
If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I cannotH3201 go beyondH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 either goodH2896 or badH7451 of mine own mindH3820; but what the LORDH3068 saithH1696, that will I speakH1696?
And now, behold, I goH1980 unto my peopleH5971: comeH3212 therefore, and I will advertiseH3289 thee what this peopleH5971 shall doH6213 to thy peopleH5971 in the latterH319 daysH3117.
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 hath saidH5002, and the manH1397 whose eyesH5869 are openH8365 hath saidH5002:
He hath saidH5002, which heardH8085 the wordsH561 of GodH410, and knewH3045 the knowledgeH1847 of the most HighH5945, which sawH2372 the visionH4236 of the AlmightyH7706, fallingH5307 into a trance, but having his eyesH5869 openH1540:
I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nighH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352+H8351. {smite…: or, smite through the princes of}
And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428.
Out of JacobH3290 shall come he that shall have dominionH7287, and shall destroyH6 him that remainethH8300 of the cityH5892.
And when he lookedH7200 on AmalekH6002, he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, AmalekH6002 was the firstH7225 of the nationsH1471; but his latterH319 end shall be that he perishH8 for everH5703. {the nations: the nations that warred against Israel} {that…: or, even to destruction}
And he lookedH7200 on the KenitesH7017, and took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, StrongH386 is thy dwellingplaceH4186, and thou puttestH7760 thy nestH7064 in a rockH5553.
Nevertheless the KeniteH7014 shallH518 be wastedH1197, until AsshurH804 shall carry thee away captiveH7617. {the Kenite: Heb. Kain} {until…: or, how long shall it be ere Asshur carry thee away captive}
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, AlasH188, who shall liveH2421 when GodH410 doethH7760 this!
And shipsH6716 shall come from the coastH3027 of ChittimH3794, and shall afflictH6031 AsshurH804, and shall afflictH6031 EberH5677, and he also shall perishH8 for everH5703.
And BalaamH1109 rose upH6965, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725 to his placeH4725: and BalakH1111 also wentH1980 his wayH1870.
The LORDH3068 shall reignH4427 for everH5769, even thy GodH430, O ZionH6726, unto allH1755 generationsH1755. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. PraiseH1984 the LORDH3068, O my soulH5315. {Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah}
While I liveH2416 will I praiseH1984 the LORDH3068: I will sing praisesH2167 unto my GodH430 while I have any being.
Put not your trustH982 in princesH5081, nor in the sonH1121 of manH120, in whom there is no helpH8668. {help: or, salvation}
His breathH7307 goeth forthH3318, he returnethH7725 to his earthH127; in that very dayH3117 his thoughtsH6250 perishH6.
HappyH835 is he that hath the GodH410 of JacobH3290 for his helpH5828, whose hopeH7664 is in the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
Which madeH6213 heavenH8064, and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that therein is: which keepethH8104 truthH571 for everH5769:
Which executethH6213 judgmentH4941 for the oppressedH6231: which givethH5414 foodH3899 to the hungryH7457. The LORDH3068 loosethH5425 the prisonersH631:
The LORDH3068 openethH6491 the eyes of the blindH5787: the LORDH3068 raisethH2210 them that are bowed downH3721: the LORDH3068 lovethH157 the righteousH6662:
The LORDH3068 preservethH8104 the strangersH1616; he relievethH5749 the fatherlessH3490 and widowH490: but the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 he turneth upside downH5791.
The LORDH3068 shall reignH4427 for everH5769, even thy GodH430, O ZionH6726, unto allH1755 generationsH1755. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
