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?
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LordH136 hath performedH1214 his whole workH4639 upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, I will punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the stoutH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the gloryH8597 of his highH7312 looksH5869. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout…: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For the LORDH3068 will have mercyH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangersH1616 shall be joinedH3867 with them, and they shall cleaveH5596 to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.
And the peopleH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and handmaidsH8198: and they shall take them captivesH7617, whose captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065. {whose…: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall give thee restH5117 from thy sorrowH6090, and from thy fearH7267, and from the hardH7186 bondageH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647,
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440.
Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no fellerH3772 is come upH5927 against us.
HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief…: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 unto us?
Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee.
How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
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.
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289, and who shall disannulH6565 it? and his handH3027 is stretched outH5186, and who shall turn it backH7725?
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 AhazH271 diedH4194 was this burdenH4853.
RejoiceH8055 not thou, whole PalestinaH6429, because the rodH7626 of him that smoteH5221 thee is brokenH7665: for out of the serpent'sH5175 rootH8328 shall come forthH3318 a cockatriceH6848, and his fruitH6529 shall be a fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314. {cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstbornH1060 of the poorH1800 shall feedH7462, and the needyH34 shall lie downH7257 in safetyH983: and I will killH4191 thy rootH8328 with famineH7458, and he shall slayH2026 thy remnantH7611.
HowlH3213, O gateH8179; cryH2199, O cityH5892; thou, whole PalestinaH6429, art dissolvedH4127: for there shall comeH935 from the northH6828 a smokeH6227, and none shall be aloneH909 in his appointed timesH4151. {none…: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed…: or, assemblies}
What shall one then answerH6030 the messengersH4397 of the nationH1471? That the LORDH3068 hath foundedH3245 ZionH6726, and the poorH6041 of his peopleH5971 shall trustH2620 in it. {trust…: or, betake themselves unto it}
AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, andG2532 sawG1492 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. {name: or, names}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 powerG1849 unto the beastG2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is likeG3664 unto the beastG2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846?
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG4633, andG2532 them that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 it was givenG1325 unto himG846 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the saintsG40, andG2532 to overcomeG3528 themG846: andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 himG846 overG1909 allG3956 kindredsG5443, andG2532 tonguesG1100, andG2532 nationsG1484.
AndG2532 allG3956 that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall worshipG4352 himG846, whoseG3739 namesG3686 areG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 of the LambG721 slainG4969 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191.
He thatG1536 leadethG4863 into captivityG161 shall goG5217 intoG1519 captivityG161: he thatG1536 killethG615 withG1722 the swordG3162 mustG1163 be killedG615 withG1722 the swordG3162. HereG5602 isG2076 the patienceG5281 andG2532 the faithG4102 of the saintsG40.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404.
AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the powerG1849 of the firstG4413 beastG2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG1093 andG2532 them which dwellG2730 thereinG1722+G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 the firstG4413 beastG2342, whoseG3739+G846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323.
AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2532 thatG2443 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 onG1519 the earthG1093 in the sightG1799 of menG444,
AndG2532 deceivethG4105 them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 byG1223 the means of those miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sightG1799 of the beastG2342; sayingG3004 to them that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG4127 by a swordG3162, andG2532 did liveG2198.
AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG1504 of the beastG2342, thatG2443 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 that as many asG3745 wouldG302+G4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG1504 of the beastG2342 should be killedG2443+G615. {life: Gr. breath}
AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, both smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173+G2532, richG4145 andG2532 poorG4434+G2532, freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, toG2443+G846 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 right handG1188+G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359: {to receive: Gr. to give them}
AndG2532 that noG3363 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG1508 that hadG2192 the markG5480, orG2228 the nameG3686 of the beastG2342, orG2228 the numberG706 of hisG846 nameG3686.
HereG5602 isG2076 wisdomG4678. Let him that hathG2192 understandingG3563 countG5585 the numberG706 of the beastG2342: forG1063 it isG2076 the numberG706 of a manG444; andG2532 hisG846 numberG706 is Six hundred threescore and sixG5516.
For the LORDH3068 will have mercyH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangersH1616 shall be joinedH3867 with them, and they shall cleaveH5596 to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.
And the peopleH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and handmaidsH8198: and they shall take them captivesH7617, whose captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065. {whose…: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall give thee restH5117 from thy sorrowH6090, and from thy fearH7267, and from the hardH7186 bondageH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647,
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440.
Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no fellerH3772 is come upH5927 against us.
HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief…: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 unto us?
Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee.
How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
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.
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289, and who shall disannulH6565 it? and his handH3027 is stretched outH5186, and who shall turn it backH7725?
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 AhazH271 diedH4194 was this burdenH4853.
RejoiceH8055 not thou, whole PalestinaH6429, because the rodH7626 of him that smoteH5221 thee is brokenH7665: for out of the serpent'sH5175 rootH8328 shall come forthH3318 a cockatriceH6848, and his fruitH6529 shall be a fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314. {cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstbornH1060 of the poorH1800 shall feedH7462, and the needyH34 shall lie downH7257 in safetyH983: and I will killH4191 thy rootH8328 with famineH7458, and he shall slayH2026 thy remnantH7611.
HowlH3213, O gateH8179; cryH2199, O cityH5892; thou, whole PalestinaH6429, art dissolvedH4127: for there shall comeH935 from the northH6828 a smokeH6227, and none shall be aloneH909 in his appointed timesH4151. {none…: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed…: or, assemblies}
What shall one then answerH6030 the messengersH4397 of the nationH1471? That the LORDH3068 hath foundedH3245 ZionH6726, and the poorH6041 of his peopleH5971 shall trustH2620 in it. {trust…: or, betake themselves unto it}
For the LORDH3068 will have mercyH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangersH1616 shall be joinedH3867 with them, and they shall cleaveH5596 to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.
And the peopleH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and handmaidsH8198: and they shall take them captivesH7617, whose captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065. {whose…: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall give thee restH5117 from thy sorrowH6090, and from thy fearH7267, and from the hardH7186 bondageH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647,
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}

How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}

The burdenH4853 of NinevehH5210. The bookH5612 of the visionH2377 of NahumH5151 the ElkoshiteH512.
GodH410 is jealousH7072, and the LORDH3068 revengethH5358; the LORDH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH1167+H2534; the LORDH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341. {God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
He rebukethH1605 the seaH3220, and maketh it dryH2717, and drieth upH3001 all the riversH5104: BashanH1316 languishethH535, and CarmelH3760, and the flowerH6525 of LebanonH3844 languishethH535.
The mountainsH2022 quakeH7493 at him, and the hillsH1389 meltH4127, and the earthH776 is burnedH5375 at his presenceH6440, yea, the worldH8398, and all that dwellH3427 therein.
Who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his indignationH2195? and who can abideH6965 in the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639? his furyH2534 is poured outH5413 like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are thrown downH5422 by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896, a strong holdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; and he knowethH3045 them that trustH2620 in him. {strong hold: or, strength}
But with an overrunningH5674 floodH7858 he will makeH6213 an utter endH3617 of the placeH4725 thereof, and darknessH2822 shall pursueH7291 his enemiesH341.
What do ye imagineH2803 against the LORDH3068? he will makeH6213 an utter endH3617: afflictionH6869 shall not rise upH6965 the second timeH6471.
For while they be folden togetherH5440 as thornsH5518, and while they are drunkenH5433 as drunkardsH5435, they shall be devouredH398 as stubbleH7179 fullyH4392 dryH3002.
There is one come outH3318 of thee, that imaginethH2803 evilH7451 against the LORDH3068, a wickedH1100 counsellorH3289. {a wicked…: Heb. a counsellor of Belial}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Though they be quietH8003, and likewise manyH7227, yet thus shall they be cut downH1494, when he shall pass throughH5674. Though I have afflictedH6031 thee, I will afflictH6031 thee no more. {Though…: or, If they would have been at peace, so should they have been many, and so should they have been shorn, and he should have passed away} {cut down: Heb. shorn}
For now will I breakH7665 his yokeH4132 from off thee, and will burstH5423 thy bondsH4147 in sunderH5423.
And the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 concerning thee, that no more of thy nameH8034 be sownH2232: out of the houseH1004 of thy godsH430 will I cut offH3772 the graven imageH6459 and the molten imageH4541: I will makeH7760 thy graveH6913; for thou art vileH7043.
Behold upon the mountainsH2022 the feetH7272 of him that bringeth good tidingsH1319, that publishethH8085 peaceH7965! O JudahH3063, keepH2287 thy solemn feastsH2282, performH7999 thy vowsH5088: for the wickedH1100 shall no moreH3254 pass throughH5674 thee; he is utterly cut offH3772. {keep…: Heb. feast} {the wicked: Heb. Belial}
For the LORDH3068 will have mercyH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangersH1616 shall be joinedH3867 with them, and they shall cleaveH5596 to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.
And the peopleH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and handmaidsH8198: and they shall take them captivesH7617, whose captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065. {whose…: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall give thee restH5117 from thy sorrowH6090, and from thy fearH7267, and from the hardH7186 bondageH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647,
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440.
Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no fellerH3772 is come upH5927 against us.
HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief…: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 unto us?
Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee.
How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
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.
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289, and who shall disannulH6565 it? and his handH3027 is stretched outH5186, and who shall turn it backH7725?
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 AhazH271 diedH4194 was this burdenH4853.
RejoiceH8055 not thou, whole PalestinaH6429, because the rodH7626 of him that smoteH5221 thee is brokenH7665: for out of the serpent'sH5175 rootH8328 shall come forthH3318 a cockatriceH6848, and his fruitH6529 shall be a fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314. {cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstbornH1060 of the poorH1800 shall feedH7462, and the needyH34 shall lie downH7257 in safetyH983: and I will killH4191 thy rootH8328 with famineH7458, and he shall slayH2026 thy remnantH7611.
HowlH3213, O gateH8179; cryH2199, O cityH5892; thou, whole PalestinaH6429, art dissolvedH4127: for there shall comeH935 from the northH6828 a smokeH6227, and none shall be aloneH909 in his appointed timesH4151. {none…: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed…: or, assemblies}
What shall one then answerH6030 the messengersH4397 of the nationH1471? That the LORDH3068 hath foundedH3245 ZionH6726, and the poorH6041 of his peopleH5971 shall trustH2620 in it. {trust…: or, betake themselves unto it}
BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 madeH5648 a greatH7229 feastH3900 to a thousandH506 of his lordsH7261, and drankH8355 wineH2562 beforeH6903 the thousandH506.
BelshazzarH1113, whiles he tastedH2942 the wineH2562, commandedH560 to bringH858 the goldenH1722 and silverH3702 vesselsH3984 which his fatherH2 NebuchadnezzarH5020 had takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 which was in JerusalemH3390; that the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, might drinkH8355 therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Cald. brought forth}
ThenH116 they broughtH858 the goldenH1722 vesselsH3984 that were takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which was at JerusalemH3390; and the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, drankH8355 in them.
They drankH8355 wineH2562, and praisedH7624 the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brassH5174, of ironH6523, of woodH636, and of stoneH69.
In the same hourH8160 came forthH5312 fingersH677 of a man'sH606 handH3028, and wroteH3790 over againstH6903 the candlestickH5043 uponH5922 the plaisterH1528 of the wallH3797 of the king'sH4430 palaceH1965: and the kingH4430 sawH2370 the partH6447 of the handH3028 that wroteH3790.
ThenH116 the king'sH4430 countenanceH2122 was changedH8133, and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927 him, so that the jointsH7001 of his loinsH2783 were loosedH8271, and his kneesH755 smoteH5368 oneH1668 against anotherH1668. {countenance: Cald. brightnesses} {was changed: Cald. changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Cald. bindings, or, knots}
The kingH4430 criedH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 in the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, WhosoeverH606+H3606 shall readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. {aloud: Cald. with might} {scarlet: or, purple}
ThenH116 cameH5954 in allH3606 the king'sH4430 wiseH2445 men: but they couldH3546 notH3809 readH7123 the writingH3792, nor make knownH3046 to the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591 thereof.
ThenH116 was kingH4430 BelshazzarH1113 greatlyH7690 troubledH927, and his countenanceH2122 was changedH8133 in himH5922, and his lordsH7261 were astoniedH7672. {countenance: Cald. brightnesses}
Now the queenH4433, by reasonH6903 of the wordsH4406 of the kingH4430 and his lordsH7261, cameH5954 into the banquetH4961 houseH1005: and the queenH4433 spakeH6032 and saidH560, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: let notH409 thy thoughtsH7476 troubleH927 thee, nor let thy countenanceH2122 be changedH8133:
There isH383 a manH1400 in thy kingdomH4437, in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of thy fatherH2 lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and wisdomH2452, like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426, was foundH7912 in him; whom the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2, the kingH4430, I say, thy fatherH2, madeH6966 masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, astrologersH826, ChaldeansH3779, and soothsayersH1505; {father: or, grandfather}
Forasmuch asH6903+H3606 an excellentH3493 spiritH7308, and knowledgeH4486, and understandingH7924, interpretingH6590 of dreamsH2493, and shewingH263 of hard sentencesH280, and dissolvingH8271 of doubtsH7001, were foundH7912 in the same DanielH1841, whom the kingH4430 namedH7761+H8036 BelteshazzarH1096: nowH3705 let DanielH1841 be calledH7123, and he will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591. {interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Cald. knots}
ThenH116 was DanielH1841 brought inH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032 and saidH560 unto DanielH1841, Art thouH607 that DanielH1841, which art ofH4481 the childrenH1123 of the captivityH1547 of JudahH3061, whom the kingH4430 my fatherH2 broughtH858 out ofH4481 JewryH3061? {father: or, grandfather}
I have even heardH8086 of thee, that the spiritH7308 of the godsH426 is in theeH5922, and that lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and excellentH3493 wisdomH2452 is foundH7912 in thee.
And nowH3705 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, have been broughtH5954 in beforeH6925 me, that they should readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof: but they couldH3546 notH3809 shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406:
And IH576 have heardH8086 of theeH5922, that thou canstH3202 makeH6590 interpretationsH6591, and dissolveH8271 doubtsH7001: nowH3705 ifH2006 thou canstH3202 readH7123 the writingH3792, and make knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 thereof, thou shalt be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 thy neckH6676, and shalt be the thirdH8531 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. {make interpretations: Cald. interpret, etc}
ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, Let thy giftsH4978 beH1934 to thyself, and giveH3052 thy rewardsH5023 to anotherH321; yetH1297 I will readH7123 the writingH3792 unto the kingH4430, and make knownH3046 to him the interpretationH6591. {rewards: or, fee}
O thouH607 kingH4430, the most highH5943 GodH426 gaveH3052 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2 a kingdomH4437, and majestyH7238, and gloryH3367, and honourH1923:
And forH4481 the majestyH7238 that he gaveH3052 him, allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, trembledH1934+H2112 and fearedH1763 beforeH4481 himH6925: whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he slewH1934+H6992; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he kept aliveH1934+H2418; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he set upH1934+H7313; and whom he wouldH1934+H6634 he put downH1934+H8214.
But when his heartH3825 was lifted upH7313, and his mindH7308 hardenedH8631 in prideH2103, he was deposedH5182 fromH4481 his kinglyH4437 throneH3764, and they tookH5709 his gloryH3367 from himH4481: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Cald. made to come down}
And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
ThenH116 was the partH6447 of the handH3028 sentH7972 fromH4481 himH6925; and thisH1836 writingH3792 was writtenH7560.
And thisH1836 is the writingH3792 that was writtenH7560, MENEH4484, MENEH4484, TEKELH8625, UPHARSINH6537.
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591 of the thingH4406: MENEH4484; GodH426 hath numberedH4483 thy kingdomH4437, and finishedH8000 it.
TEKELH8625; Thou art weighedH8625 in the balancesH3977, and art foundH7912 wantingH2627.
PERESH6537; Thy kingdomH4437 is dividedH6537, and givenH3052 to the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540.
ThenH116 commandedH560 BelshazzarH1113, and they clothedH3848 DanielH1841 with scarletH711, and put a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and made a proclamationH3745 concerningH5922 him, that he should beH1934 the thirdH8531 rulerH7990 in the kingdomH4437.
In that nightH3916 was BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 of the ChaldeansH3779 slainH6992.
And DariusH1868 the MedianH4077 tookH6902 the kingdomH4437, being about threescoreH8361 and twoH8648 yearsH8140 oldH1247. {being…: Cald. he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
The burdenH4853 of NinevehH5210. The bookH5612 of the visionH2377 of NahumH5151 the ElkoshiteH512.
GodH410 is jealousH7072, and the LORDH3068 revengethH5358; the LORDH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH1167+H2534; the LORDH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341. {God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
He rebukethH1605 the seaH3220, and maketh it dryH2717, and drieth upH3001 all the riversH5104: BashanH1316 languishethH535, and CarmelH3760, and the flowerH6525 of LebanonH3844 languishethH535.
The mountainsH2022 quakeH7493 at him, and the hillsH1389 meltH4127, and the earthH776 is burnedH5375 at his presenceH6440, yea, the worldH8398, and all that dwellH3427 therein.
Who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his indignationH2195? and who can abideH6965 in the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639? his furyH2534 is poured outH5413 like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are thrown downH5422 by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896, a strong holdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; and he knowethH3045 them that trustH2620 in him. {strong hold: or, strength}
But with an overrunningH5674 floodH7858 he will makeH6213 an utter endH3617 of the placeH4725 thereof, and darknessH2822 shall pursueH7291 his enemiesH341.
What do ye imagineH2803 against the LORDH3068? he will makeH6213 an utter endH3617: afflictionH6869 shall not rise upH6965 the second timeH6471.
For while they be folden togetherH5440 as thornsH5518, and while they are drunkenH5433 as drunkardsH5435, they shall be devouredH398 as stubbleH7179 fullyH4392 dryH3002.
There is one come outH3318 of thee, that imaginethH2803 evilH7451 against the LORDH3068, a wickedH1100 counsellorH3289. {a wicked…: Heb. a counsellor of Belial}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Though they be quietH8003, and likewise manyH7227, yet thus shall they be cut downH1494, when he shall pass throughH5674. Though I have afflictedH6031 thee, I will afflictH6031 thee no more. {Though…: or, If they would have been at peace, so should they have been many, and so should they have been shorn, and he should have passed away} {cut down: Heb. shorn}
For now will I breakH7665 his yokeH4132 from off thee, and will burstH5423 thy bondsH4147 in sunderH5423.
And the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 concerning thee, that no more of thy nameH8034 be sownH2232: out of the houseH1004 of thy godsH430 will I cut offH3772 the graven imageH6459 and the molten imageH4541: I will makeH7760 thy graveH6913; for thou art vileH7043.
Behold upon the mountainsH2022 the feetH7272 of him that bringeth good tidingsH1319, that publishethH8085 peaceH7965! O JudahH3063, keepH2287 thy solemn feastsH2282, performH7999 thy vowsH5088: for the wickedH1100 shall no moreH3254 pass throughH5674 thee; he is utterly cut offH3772. {keep…: Heb. feast} {the wicked: Heb. Belial}
The burdenH4853 of EgyptH4714. Behold, the LORDH3068 ridethH7392 upon a swiftH7031 cloudH5645, and shall comeH935 into EgyptH4714: and the idolsH457 of EgyptH4714 shall be movedH5128 at his presenceH6440, and the heartH3824 of EgyptH4714 shall meltH4549 in the midstH7130 of it.
And I will setH5526 the EgyptiansH4714 against the EgyptiansH4714: and they shall fightH3898 every oneH376 against his brotherH251, and every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453; cityH5892 against cityH5892, and kingdomH4467 against kingdomH4467. {set: Heb. mingle}
And the spiritH7307 of EgyptH4714 shall failH1238 in the midstH7130 thereof; and I will destroyH1104 the counselH6098 thereof: and they shall seekH1875 to the idolsH457, and to the charmersH328, and to them that have familiar spiritsH178, and to the wizardsH3049. {fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
AndH853 the EgyptiansH4714 will I give overH5534 into the handH3027 of a cruelH7186 lordH113; and a fierceH5794 kingH4428 shall ruleH4910 over them, saithH5002 the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {give…: or, shut up}
And the watersH4325 shall failH5405 from the seaH3220, and the riverH5104 shall be wastedH2717 and dried upH3001.
And they shall turnH2186 the riversH5104 far awayH2186; and the brooksH2975 of defenceH4693 shall be emptiedH1809 and dried upH2717: the reedsH7070 and flagsH5488 shall witherH7060.
The paper reedsH6169 by the brooksH2975, by the mouthH6310 of the brooksH2975, and every thing sownH4218 by the brooksH2975, shall witherH3001, be driven awayH5086, and be no more. {and be…: Heb. and shall not be}
The fishersH1771 also shall mournH578, and all they that castH7993 angleH2443 into the brooksH2975 shall lamentH56, and they that spreadH6566 netsH4365 uponH6440 the watersH4325 shall languishH535.
Moreover they that workH5647 in fineH8305 flaxH6593, and they that weaveH707 networksH2355, shall be confoundedH954. {networks: or, white works}
And they shall be brokenH1792 in the purposesH8356 thereof, all that makeH6213 sluicesH7938 and pondsH99 for fishH5315. {purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}
Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become brutishH1197: how sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428?
WhereH335 are they? whereH645 are thy wiseH2450 men? and let them tellH5046 thee now, and let them knowH3045 what the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 upon EgyptH4714.
The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the stayH6438 of the tribesH7626 thereof. {they that…: or, governors: Heb. corners}
The LORDH3068 hath mingledH4537 a perverseH5773 spiritH7307 in the midstH7130 thereof: and they have caused EgyptH4714 to errH8582 in every workH4639 thereof, as a drunkenH7910 man staggerethH8582 in his vomitH6892. {a perverse…: Heb. a spirit of perversities}
Neither shall there be any workH4639 for EgyptH4714, which the headH7218 or tailH2180, branchH3712 or rushH100, may doH6213.
In that dayH3117 shall EgyptH4714 be like unto womenH802: and it shall be afraidH2729 and fearH6342 becauseH6440 of the shakingH8573 of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which he shakethH5130 over it.
And the landH127 of JudahH3063 shall be a terrorH2283 unto EgyptH4714, every one that maketh mentionH2142 thereof shall be afraidH6342 in himself, becauseH6440 of the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which he hath determinedH3289 against it.
In that dayH3117 shall fiveH2568 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 speakH1696 the languageH8193 of CanaanH3667, and swearH7650 to the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; oneH259 shall be calledH559, The cityH5892 of destructionH2041. {the language: Heb. the lip} {of destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun}
In that dayH3117 shall there be an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and a pillarH4676 atH681 the borderH1366 thereof to the LORDH3068.
And it shall be for a signH226 and for a witnessH5707 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: for they shall cryH6817 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH6440 of the oppressorsH3905, and he shall sendH7971 them a saviourH3467, and a great oneH7227, and he shall deliverH5337 them.
And the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 to EgyptH4714, and the EgyptiansH4714 shall knowH3045 the LORDH3068 in that dayH3117, and shall doH5647 sacrificeH2077 and oblationH4503; yea, they shall vowH5087 a vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068, and performH7999 it.
And the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 EgyptH4714: he shall smiteH5062 and healH7495 it: and they shall returnH7725 even to the LORDH3068, and he shall be intreatedH6279 of them, and shall healH7495 them.
In that dayH3117 shall there be a highwayH4546 out of EgyptH4714 to AssyriaH804, and the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into EgyptH4714, and the EgyptianH4714 into AssyriaH804, and the EgyptiansH4714 shall serveH5647 with the AssyriansH804.
In that dayH3117 shall IsraelH3478 be the thirdH7992 with EgyptH4714 and with AssyriaH804, even a blessingH1293 in the midstH7130 of the landH776:
Whom the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall blessH1288, sayingH559, BlessedH1288 be EgyptH4714 my peopleH5971, and AssyriaH804 the workH4639 of my handsH3027, and IsraelH3478 mine inheritanceH5159.
