Versliste
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}
The burdenH4853 of DamascusH1834. Behold, DamascusH1834 is taken awayH5493 from being a cityH5892, and it shall be a ruinousH4654 heapH4596.
The citiesH5892 of AroerH6177 are forsakenH5800: they shall be for flocksH5739, which shall lie downH7257, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
The fortressH4013 also shall ceaseH7673 from EphraimH669, and the kingdomH4467 from DamascusH1834, and the remnantH7605 of SyriaH758: they shall be as the gloryH3519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And in that dayH3117 it shall come to pass, that the gloryH3519 of JacobH3290 shall be made thinH1809, and the fatnessH4924 of his fleshH1320 shall wax leanH7329.
And it shall be as when the harvestmanH7105 gatherethH622 the cornH7054, and reapethH7114 the earsH7641 with his armH2220; and it shall be as he that gatherethH3950 earsH7641 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.
Yet gleaning grapesH5955 shall be leftH7604 in it, as the shakingH5363 of an olive treeH2132, twoH8147 or threeH7969 berriesH1620 in the topH7218 of the uppermost boughH534, fourH702 or fiveH2568 in the outmost fruitfulH6509 branchesH5585 thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
At that dayH3117 shall a manH120 lookH8159 to his MakerH6213, and his eyesH5869 shall have respectH7200 to the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
And he shall not lookH8159 to the altarsH4196, the workH4639 of his handsH3027, neither shall respectH7200 that which his fingersH676 have madeH6213, either the grovesH842, or the imagesH2553. {images: or, sun images}
In that dayH3117 shall his strongH4581 citiesH5892 be as a forsakenH5800 boughH2793, and an uppermost branchH534, which they leftH5800 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and there shall be desolationH8077.
Because thou hast forgottenH7911 the GodH430 of thy salvationH3468, and hast not been mindfulH2142 of the rockH6697 of thy strengthH4581, therefore shalt thou plantH5193 pleasantH5282 plantsH5194, and shalt setH2232 it with strangeH2114 slipsH2156:
In the dayH3117 shalt thou make thy plantH5194 to growH7735, and in the morningH1242 shalt thou make thy seedH2233 to flourishH6524: but the harvestH7105 shall be a heapH5067 in the dayH3117 of griefH2470 and of desperateH605 sorrowH3511. {a heap…: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}
WoeH1945 to the multitudeH1995 of manyH7227 peopleH5971, which make a noiseH1993 like the noiseH1993 of the seasH3220; and to the rushingH7588 of nationsH3816, that make a rushing like the rushingH7582 of mightyH3524 watersH4325! {multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}
The nationsH3816 shall rushH7582 like the rushingH7588 of manyH7227 watersH4325: but God shall rebukeH1605 them, and they shall fleeH5127 far offH4801, and shall be chasedH7291 as the chaffH4671 of the mountainsH2022 beforeH6440 the windH7307, and like a rolling thingH1534 beforeH6440 the whirlwindH5492. {a rolling…: or, thistledown}
And behold at eveningtideH6256+H6153 troubleH1091; and before the morningH1242 he is not. This is the portionH2506 of them that spoilH8154 us, and the lotH1486 of them that robH962 us.
WoeH1945 to the landH776 shadowingH6767 with wingsH3671, which is beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568:
That sendethH7971 ambassadorsH6735 by the seaH3220, even in vesselsH3627 of bulrushesH1573 uponH6440 the watersH4325, saying, GoH3212, ye swiftH7031 messengersH4397, to a nationH1471 scatteredH4900 and peeledH4178, to a peopleH5971 terribleH3372 from their beginning hithertoH1973; a nationH1471 meted outH6978 and trodden downH4001, whose landH776 the riversH5104 have spoiledH958! {scattered…: or, outspread and polished} {meted…: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have…: or, despise}
All ye inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, and dwellersH7931 on the earthH776, seeH7200 ye, when he lifteth upH5375 an ensignH5251 on the mountainsH2022; and when he blowethH8628 a trumpetH7782, hearH8085 ye.
For soH3541 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, I will take my restH8252, and I will considerH5027 in my dwelling placeH4349 like a clearH6703 heatH2527 upon herbsH216, and like a cloudH5645 of dewH2919 in the heatH2527 of harvestH7105. {consider…: or, regard my set dwelling} {upon…: or, after rain}
For aforeH6440 the harvestH7105, when the budH6525 is perfectH8552, and the sour grapeH1155 is ripeningH1580 in the flowerH5328, he shall both cut offH3772 the sprigsH2150 with pruning hooksH4211, and take awayH5493 and cut downH8456 the branchesH5189.
They shall be leftH5800 togetherH3162 unto the fowlsH5861 of the mountainsH2022, and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776: and the fowlsH5861 shall summerH6972 upon them, and all the beastsH929 of the earthH776 shall winterH2778 upon them.
In that timeH6256 shall the presentH7862 be broughtH2986 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 of a peopleH5971 scatteredH4900 and peeledH4178, and from a peopleH5971 terribleH3372 from their beginning hithertoH1973; a nationH1471 meted outH6978 and trodden under footH4001, whose landH776 the riversH5104 have spoiledH958, to the placeH4725 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the mountH2022 ZionH6726. {scattered…: or, outspread and polished}
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.
In the yearH8141 that TartanH8661 cameH935 unto AshdodH795, (when SargonH5623 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 him,) and foughtH3898 against AshdodH795, and tookH3920 it;
At the same timeH6256 spakeH1696 the LORDH3068 byH3027 IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, sayingH559, GoH3212 and looseH6605 the sackclothH8242 from off thy loinsH4975, and put offH2502 thy shoeH5275 from thy footH7272. And he did soH6213, walkingH1980 nakedH6174 and barefootH3182. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Like as my servantH5650 IsaiahH3470 hath walkedH1980 nakedH6174 and barefootH3182 threeH7969 yearsH8141 for a signH226 and wonderH4159 upon EgyptH4714 and upon EthiopiaH3568;
So shall the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 lead awayH5090 the EgyptiansH4714 prisonersH7628, and the EthiopiansH3568 captivesH1546, youngH5288 and oldH2205, nakedH6174 and barefootH3182, even with their buttocksH8357 uncoveredH2834, to the shameH6172 of EgyptH4714. {the Egyptians…: Heb. the captivity of Egypt} {shame: Heb. nakedness}
And they shall be afraidH2865 and ashamedH954 of EthiopiaH3568 their expectationH4007, and of EgyptH4714 their gloryH8597.
And the inhabitantH3427 of this isleH339 shall sayH559 in that dayH3117, Behold, suchH3541 is our expectationH4007, whither we fleeH5127 for helpH5833 to be deliveredH5337 fromH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: and how shall we escapeH4422? {isle: or, country}
The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the seaH3220. As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498 through; so it comethH935 from the desertH4057, from a terribleH3372 landH776.
A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto me; the treacherous dealerH898 dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoilerH7703 spoilethH7703. Go upH5927, O ElamH5867: besiegeH6696, O MediaH4074; all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673. {grievous: Heb. hard}
Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with painH2479: pangsH6735 have taken holdH270 upon me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travailethH3205: I was bowed downH5753 at the hearingH8085 of it; I was dismayedH926 at the seeingH7200 of it.
My heartH3824 pantedH8582, fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204 me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760 into fearH2731 unto me. {heart…: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
PrepareH6186 the tableH7979, watchH6822 in the watchtowerH6844, eatH398, drinkH8354: ariseH6965, ye princesH8269, and anointH4886 the shieldH4043.
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seethH7200.
And he sawH7200 a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571, a chariotH7393 of assesH2543, and a chariotH7393 of camelsH1581; and he hearkenedH7181 diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heedH7182:
And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915: {he…: or, cried as a lion} {whole…: or, every night}
And, behold, here comethH935 a chariotH7393 of menH376, with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571. And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665 unto the groundH776.
O my threshingH4098, and the cornH1121 of my floorH1637: that which I have heardH8085 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 comethH857, and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158, enquireH1158 ye: returnH7725, comeH857.
The burdenH4853 upon ArabiaH6152. In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodgeH3885, O ye travelling companiesH736 of DedanimH1720.
The inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 of TemaH8485 broughtH857 waterH4325 to himH7125 that was thirstyH6771, they preventedH6923 with their breadH3899 him that fledH5074. {brought: or, bring ye}
For they fledH5074 fromH6440 the swordsH2719, fromH6440 the drawnH5203 swordH2719, and fromH6440 the bentH1869 bowH7198, and fromH6440 the grievousnessH3514 of warH4421. {from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, Within a yearH8141, according to the yearsH8141 of an hirelingH7916, and all the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall failH3615:
And the residueH7605 of the numberH4557 of archersH7198, the mighty menH1368 of the childrenH1121 of KedarH6938, shall be diminishedH4591: for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath spokenH1696 it. {archers: Heb. bows}
The burdenH4853 of the valleyH1516 of visionH2384. What aileth thee nowH645, that thou art wholly gone upH5927 to the housetopsH1406?
Thou that art fullH4392 of stirsH8663, a tumultuousH1993 cityH5892, a joyousH5947 cityH7151: thy slainH2491 men are not slainH2491 with the swordH2719, nor deadH4191 in battleH4421.
All thy rulersH7101 are fledH5074 togetherH3162, they are boundH631 by the archersH7198: all that are foundH4672 in thee are boundH631 togetherH3162, which have fledH1272 from farH7350. {by…: Heb. of the bow}
Therefore saidH559 I, Look awayH8159 from me; I will weepH1065 bitterlyH4843, labourH213 not to comfortH5162 me, because of the spoilingH7701 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971. {weep…: Heb. be bitter in weeping}
For it is a dayH3117 of troubleH4103, and of treading downH4001, and of perplexityH3998 by the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the valleyH1516 of visionH2384, breakingH6979 down the wallsH7023, and of cryingH7771 to the mountainsH2022.
And ElamH5867 bareH5375 the quiverH827 with chariotsH7393 of menH120 and horsemenH6571, and KirH7024 uncoveredH6168 the shieldH4043. {uncovered: Heb. made naked}
And it shall come to pass, that thy choicestH4005 valleysH6010 shall be fullH4390 of chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571 shall setH7896 themselves in arrayH7896 at the gateH8179. {thy…: Heb. the choice of thy valleys} {at: or, towards}
And he discoveredH1540 the coveringH4539 of JudahH3063, and thou didst lookH5027 in that dayH3117 to the armourH5402 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293.
Ye have seenH7200 also the breachesH1233 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that they are manyH7231: and ye gathered togetherH6908 the watersH4325 of the lowerH8481 poolH1295.
And ye have numberedH5608 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and the housesH1004 have ye broken downH5422 to fortifyH1219 the wallH2346.
Ye madeH6213 also a ditchH4724 between the two wallsH2346 for the waterH4325 of the oldH3465 poolH1295: but ye have not lookedH5027 unto the makerH6213 thereof, neither had respectH7200 unto him that fashionedH3335 it long agoH7350.
And in that dayH3117 did the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 callH7121 to weepingH1065, and to mourningH4553, and to baldnessH7144, and to girdingH2296 with sackclothH8242:
And behold joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, slayingH2026 oxenH1241, and killingH7819 sheepH6629, eatingH398 fleshH1320, and drinkingH8354 wineH3196: let us eatH398 and drinkH8354; for to morrowH4279 we shall dieH4191.
And it was revealedH1540 in mine earsH241 by the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely this iniquityH5771 shall not be purgedH3722 from you till ye dieH4191, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, GoH3212, getH935 thee unto this treasurerH5532, even unto ShebnaH7644, which is over the houseH1004, and say,
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee outH2672 a sepulchreH6913 hereH6311, as he that heweth him outH2672 a sepulchreH6913 on highH4791, and that gravethH2710 an habitationH4908 for himself in a rockH5553? {as…: or, O he}
Behold, the LORDH3068 will carry thee awayH2904 with a mightyH1397 captivityH2925, and will surelyH5844 coverH5844 thee. {will carry…: or, the Lord who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, v.18.shall surely, etc} {a mighty…: Heb. the captivity of a man}
He will surelyH6801 violently turnH6801 and tossH6802 thee like a ballH1754 into a largeH7342+H3027 countryH776: there shalt thou dieH4191, and there the chariotsH4818 of thy gloryH3519 shall be the shameH7036 of thy lord'sH113 houseH1004. {large: Heb. large of spaces}
And I will driveH1920 thee from thy stationH4673, and from thy stateH4612 shall he pull thee downH2040.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will callH7121 my servantH5650 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518:
And I will clotheH3847 him with thy robeH3801, and strengthenH2388 him with thy girdleH73, and I will commitH5414 thy governmentH4475 into his handH3027: and he shall be a fatherH1 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
And the keyH4668 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will I layH5414 upon his shoulderH7926; so he shall openH6605, and none shall shutH5462; and he shall shutH5462, and none shall openH6605.
And I will fastenH8628 him as a nailH3489 in a sureH539 placeH4725; and he shall be for a gloriousH3519 throneH3678 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
And they shall hangH8518 upon him all the gloryH3519 of his father'sH1 houseH1004, the offspringH6631 and the issueH6849, all vesselsH3627 of smallH6996 quantity, from the vesselsH3627 of cupsH101, even to all the vesselsH3627 of flagonsH5035. {vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols}
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall the nailH3489 that is fastenedH8628 in the sureH539 placeH4725 be removedH4185, and be cut downH1438, and fallH5307; and the burdenH4853 that was upon it shall be cut offH3772: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid wasteH7703, so that there is no houseH1004, no entering inH935: from the landH776 of ChittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them.
Be stillH1826, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339; thou whom the merchantsH5503 of ZidonH6721, that pass overH5674 the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390. {still: Heb. silent}
And by greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of SihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the riverH2975, is her revenueH8393; and she is a martH5505 of nationsH1471.
Be thou ashamedH954, O ZidonH6721: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, even the strengthH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I travailH2342 not, nor bring forth childrenH3205, neither do I nourish upH1431 young menH970, nor bring upH7311 virginsH1330.
As at the reportH8088 concerning EgyptH4714, so shall they be sorely painedH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.
Pass ye overH5674 to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339.
Is this your joyousH5947 city, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancientH6924 daysH3117? her own feetH7272 shall carryH2986 her afar offH7350 to sojournH1481. {afar…: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counselH3289 against TyreH6865, the crowningH5849 city, whose merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whose traffickersH3667 are the honourableH3513 of the earthH776?
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stainH2490 the prideH1347 of all gloryH6643, and to bring into contemptH7043 all the honourableH3513 of the earthH776. {to stain: Heb. to pollute}
PassH5674 through thy landH776 as a riverH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659: there is no more strengthH4206. {strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he shookH7264 the kingdomsH4467: the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 against the merchantH3667 city, to destroyH8045 the strongH4581 holdsH4581 thereof. {against…: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong…: or, strengths}
And he saidH559, Thou shalt no moreH3254 rejoiceH5937, O thou oppressedH6231 virginH1330, daughterH1323 of ZidonH6721: ariseH6965, pass overH5674 to ChittimH3794; there also shalt thou have no restH5117.
Behold the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; this peopleH5971 was not, till the AssyrianH804 foundedH3245 it for them that dwell in the wildernessH6728: they set upH6965 the towersH971 thereof, they raised upH6209 the palacesH759 thereof; and he broughtH7760 it to ruinH4654.
HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659: for your strengthH4581 is laid wasteH7703.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall be forgottenH7911 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428: after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 shall TyreH6865 singH7892 as an harlotH2181. {shall Tyre…: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
TakeH3947 an harpH3658, go aboutH5437 the cityH5892, thou harlotH2181 that hast been forgottenH7911; make sweetH3190 melodyH5059, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142.
And it shall come to pass after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that the LORDH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865, and she shall turnH7725 to her hireH868, and shall commit fornicationH2181 with all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686 nor laid upH2630; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398 sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374. {durable: Heb. old}
Behold, the LORDH3068 maketh the earthH776 emptyH1238, and maketh it wasteH1110, and turnethH5753 it upside downH6440, and scattereth abroadH6327 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. {turneth…: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}
And it shall be, as with the peopleH5971, so with the priestH3548; as with the servantH5650, so with his masterH113; as with the maidH8198, so with her mistressH1404; as with the buyerH7069, so with the sellerH4376; as with the lenderH3867, so with the borrowerH3867; as with the taker of usuryH5383, soH834 with the giver of usuryH5378 to him. {priest: or, prince}
The landH776 shall be utterlyH1238 emptiedH1238, and utterlyH962 spoiledH962: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 this wordH1697.
The earthH776 mournethH56 and fadeth awayH5034, the worldH8398 languishethH535 and fadeth awayH5034, the haughtyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languishH535. {the haughty…: Heb. the height of the people}
The earthH776 also is defiledH2610 under the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; because they have transgressedH5674 the lawsH8451, changedH2498 the ordinanceH2706, brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Therefore hath the curseH423 devouredH398 the earthH776, and they that dwellH3427 therein are desolateH816: therefore the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 leftH7604.
The new wineH8492 mournethH56, the vineH1612 languishethH535, all the merryheartedH8056+H3820 do sighH584.
The mirthH4885 of tabretsH8596 ceasethH7673, the noiseH7588 of them that rejoiceH5947 endethH2308, the joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceasethH7673.
They shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with a songH7892; strong drinkH7941 shall be bitterH4843 to them that drinkH8354 it.
The cityH7151 of confusionH8414 is broken downH7665: every houseH1004 is shut upH5462, that no man may come inH935.
There is a cryingH6682 for wineH3196 in the streetsH2351; all joyH8057 is darkenedH6150, the mirthH4885 of the landH776 is goneH1540.
In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolationH8047, and the gateH8179 is smittenH3807 with destructionH7591.
When thus it shall be in the midstH7130 of the landH776 amongH8432 the peopleH5971, there shall be as the shakingH5363 of an olive treeH2132, and as the gleaning grapesH5955 when the vintageH1210 is doneH3615.
They shall lift upH5375 their voiceH6963, they shall singH7442 for the majestyH1347 of the LORDH3068, they shall cry aloudH6670 from the seaH3220.
Wherefore glorifyH3513 ye the LORDH3068 in the firesH217, even the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the islesH339 of the seaH3220. {fires: or, valleys}
From the uttermost partH3671 of the earthH776 have we heardH8085 songsH2158, even gloryH6643 to the righteousH6662. But I saidH559, My leannessH7334, my leannessH7334, woeH188 unto me! the treacherous dealersH898 have dealt treacherouslyH898; yea, the treacherous dealersH898 have dealt veryH899 treacherouslyH898. {uttermost…: Heb. wing} {My leanness: Heb. Leanness to me, or, My secret to me}
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, are upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of the earthH776.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleethH5127 from the noiseH6963 of the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that cometh upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for the windowsH699 from on highH4791 are openH6605, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 do shakeH7493.
The earthH776 is utterlyH7489 broken downH7489, the earthH776 is cleanH6565 dissolvedH6565, the earthH776 is movedH4131 exceedinglyH4131.
The earthH776 shall reelH5128 to and froH5128 like a drunkardH7910, and shall be removedH5110 like a cottageH4412; and the transgressionH6588 thereof shall be heavyH3513 upon it; and it shall fallH5307, and not riseH6965 againH3254.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall punishH6485 the hostH6635 of the high onesH4791 that are on highH4791, and the kingsH4428 of the earthH127 upon the earthH127. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And they shall be gathered togetherH622, as prisonersH616 are gatheredH626 in the pitH953, and shall be shut upH5462 in the prisonH4525, and after manyH7230 daysH3117 shall they be visitedH6485. {as prisoners…: Heb. with the gathering of prisoners} {pit: or, dungeon} {visited: or, found wanting}
Then the moonH3842 shall be confoundedH2659, and the sunH2535 ashamedH954, when the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall reignH4427 in mountH2022 ZionH6726, and in JerusalemH3389, and before his ancientsH2205 gloriouslyH3519. {before…: or, there shall be glory before his ancients}
O LORDH3068, thou art my GodH430; I will exaltH7311 thee, I will praiseH3034 thy nameH8034; for thou hast doneH6213 wonderfulH6382 things; thy counselsH6098 of oldH7350 are faithfulnessH530 and truthH544.
For thou hast madeH7760 of a cityH5892 an heapH1530; of a defencedH1219 cityH7151 a ruinH4654: a palaceH759 of strangersH2114 to be no cityH5892; it shall neverH5769 be builtH1129.
Therefore shall the strongH5794 peopleH5971 glorifyH3513 thee, the cityH7151 of the terribleH6184 nationsH1471 shall fearH3372 thee.
For thou hast been a strengthH4581 to the poorH1800, a strengthH4581 to the needyH34 in his distressH6862, a refugeH4268 from the stormH2230, a shadowH6738 from the heatH2721, when the blastH7307 of the terrible onesH6184 is as a stormH2230 against the wallH7023.
Thou shalt bring downH3665 the noiseH7588 of strangersH2114, as the heatH2721 in a dry placeH6724; even the heatH2721 with the shadowH6738 of a cloudH5645: the branchH2159 of the terrible onesH6184 shall be brought lowH6030.
And in this mountainH2022 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 makeH6213 unto all peopleH5971 a feastH4960 of fat thingsH8081, a feastH4960 of wines on the leesH8105, of fat thingsH8081 full of marrowH4229, of wines on the leesH8105 well refinedH2212.
And he will destroyH1104 in this mountainH2022 the faceH6440 of the coveringH3875 cast overH3874 all peopleH5971, and the vailH4541 that is spreadH5259 over all nationsH1471. {destroy: Heb. swallow up} {cast: Heb. covered}
He will swallow upH1104 deathH4194 in victoryH5331; and the LordH136 GODH3069 will wipe awayH4229 tearsH1832 from off all facesH6440; and the rebukeH2781 of his peopleH5971 shall he take awayH5493 from off all the earthH776: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
And it shall be saidH559 in that dayH3117, Lo, this is our GodH430; we have waitedH6960 for him, and he will saveH3467 us: this is the LORDH3068; we have waitedH6960 for him, we will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in his salvationH3444.
For in this mountainH2022 shall the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 restH5117, and MoabH4124 shall be trodden downH1758 under him, even as strawH4963 is trodden downH1758 for the dunghillH1119+H4087+H4325. {trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for…: or, threshed in Madmenah}
And he shall spread forthH6566 his handsH3027 in the midstH7130 of them, as he that swimmethH7811 spreadeth forthH6566 his hands to swimH7811: and he shall bring downH8213 their prideH1346 together with the spoilsH698 of their handsH3027.
And the fortressH4013 of the high fortH4869 of thy wallsH2346 shall he bring downH7817, lay lowH8213, and bringH5060 to the groundH776, even to the dustH6083.
In that dayH3117 shall this songH7892 be sungH7891 in the landH776 of JudahH3063; We have a strongH5797 cityH5892; salvationH3444 will God appointH7896 for wallsH2346 and bulwarksH2426.
OpenH6605 ye the gatesH8179, that the righteousH6662 nationH1471 which keepethH8104 the truthH529 may enter inH935. {truth: Heb. truths}
Thou wilt keepH5341 him in perfectH7965 peaceH7965, whose mindH3336 is stayedH5564 on thee: because he trustethH982 in thee. {perfect…: Heb. peace, peace} {mind: or, thought, or, imagination}
TrustH982 ye in the LORDH3068 for everH5703: for in the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is everlastingH5769 strengthH6697: {everlasting…: Heb. the rock of ages}
For he bringeth downH7817 them that dwellH3427 on highH4791; the loftyH7682 cityH7151, he layeth it lowH8213; he layeth it lowH8213, even to the groundH776; he bringethH5060 it even to the dustH6083.
The footH7272 shall tread it downH7429, even the feetH7272 of the poorH6041, and the stepsH6471 of the needyH1800.
The wayH734 of the justH6662 is uprightnessH4339: thou, most uprightH3477, dost weighH6424 the pathH4570 of the justH6662.
Yea, in the wayH734 of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068, have we waitedH6960 for thee; the desireH8378 of our soulH5315 is to thy nameH8034, and to the remembranceH2143 of thee.
With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 will learnH3925 righteousnessH6664.
Let favour be shewedH2603 to the wickedH7563, yet will he notH1077 learnH3925 righteousnessH6664: in the landH776 of uprightnessH5229 will he deal unjustlyH5765, and will notH1077 beholdH7200 the majestyH1348 of the LORDH3068.
LORDH3068, when thy handH3027 is lifted upH7311, they will not seeH2372: but they shall seeH2372, and be ashamedH954 for their envyH7068 at the peopleH5971; yea, the fireH784 of thine enemiesH6862 shall devourH398 them. {at…: or, toward thy people}
LORDH3068, thou wilt ordainH8239 peaceH7965 for us: for thou also hast wroughtH6466 all our worksH4639 in us. {in us: or, for us}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, other lordsH113 besideH2108 thee have had dominionH1166 over us: but by thee only will we make mentionH2142 of thy nameH8034.
They are deadH4191, they shall not liveH2421; they are deceasedH7496, they shall not riseH6965: therefore hast thou visitedH6485 and destroyedH8045 them, and made all their memoryH2143 to perishH6.
Thou hast increasedH3254 the nationH1471, O LORDH3068, thou hast increasedH3254 the nationH1471: thou art glorifiedH3513: thou hadst removed it farH7368 unto all the endsH7099 of the earthH776.
LORDH3068, in troubleH6862 have they visitedH6485 thee, they poured outH6694 a prayerH3908 when thy chasteningH4148 was upon them. {prayer: Heb. secret speech}
LikeH3644 as a woman with childH2030, that draweth nearH7126 the time of her deliveryH3205, is in painH2342, and crieth outH2199 in her pangsH2256; so have we been in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068.
We have been with childH2029, we have been in painH2342, we have as it wereH3644 brought forthH3205 windH7307; we have not wroughtH6213 any deliveranceH3444 in the earthH776; neitherH1077 have the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 fallenH5307.
Thy deadH4191 men shall liveH2421, together with my dead bodyH5038 shall they ariseH6965. AwakeH6974 and singH7442, ye that dwellH7931 in dustH6083: for thy dewH2919 is as the dewH2919 of herbsH219, and the earthH776 shall cast outH5307 the deadH7496.
ComeH3212, my peopleH5971, enterH935 thou into thy chambersH2315, and shutH5462 thy doorsH1817 about thee: hideH2247 thyself as it were for a littleH4592 momentH7281, until the indignationH2195 be overpastH5674.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh outH3318 of his placeH4725 to punishH6485 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall discloseH1540 her bloodH1818, and shall no more coverH3680 her slainH2026. {blood: Heb. bloods}
In that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 with his soreH7186 and greatH1419 and strongH2389 swordH2719 shall punishH6485 leviathanH3882 the piercingH1281 serpentH5175, even leviathanH3882 that crookedH6129 serpentH5175; and he shall slayH2026 the dragonH8577 that is in the seaH3220. {piercing: or, crossing like a bar}
In that dayH3117 singH6031 ye unto her, A vineyardH3754 of red wineH2561+H2531.
I the LORDH3068 do keepH5341 it; I will waterH8248 it every momentH7281: lest any hurtH6485 it, I will keepH5341 it nightH3915 and dayH3117.
FuryH2534 is not in me: who would setH5414 the briersH8068 and thornsH7898 against me in battleH4421? I would goH6585 through them, I would burnH6702 them togetherH3162. {go…: or, march against}
Or let him take holdH2388 of my strengthH4581, that he may makeH6213 peaceH7965 with me; and he shall makeH6213 peaceH7965 with me.
He shall cause them that comeH935 of JacobH3290 to take rootH8327: IsraelH3478 shall blossomH6692 and budH6524, and fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with fruitH8570.
Hath he smittenH5221 him, as he smoteH4347 those that smoteH5221 him? or is he slainH2026 according to the slaughterH2027 of them that are slainH2026 by him? {as…: Heb. according to the stroke of}
In measureH5432, when it shooteth forthH7971, thou wilt debateH7378 with it: he stayethH1898 his roughH7186 windH7307 in the dayH3117 of the east windH6921. {it shooteth…: or, thou sendest it forth} {he…: or, when he removeth it with}
By thisH2063 therefore shall the iniquityH5771 of JacobH3290 be purgedH3722; and this is all the fruitH6529 to take awayH5493 his sinH2403; when he makethH7760 all the stonesH68 of the altarH4196 as chalkstonesH1615 that are beaten in sunderH5310, the grovesH842 and imagesH2553 shall not stand upH6965. {images: or, sun images}
Yet the defencedH1219 cityH5892 shall be desolateH910, and the habitationH5116 forsakenH7971, and leftH5800 like a wildernessH4057: there shall the calfH5695 feedH7462, and there shall he lie downH7257, and consumeH3615 the branchesH5585 thereof.
When the boughsH7105 thereof are witheredH3001, they shall be broken offH7665: the womenH802 comeH935, and set them on fireH215: for it is a peopleH5971 of no understandingH998: therefore he that madeH6213 them will not have mercyH7355 on them, and he that formedH3335 them will shew them no favourH2603.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall beat offH2251 from the channelH7641 of the riverH5104 unto the streamH5158 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall be gatheredH3950 oneH259 by oneH259, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the greatH1419 trumpetH7782 shall be blownH8628, and they shall comeH935 which were ready to perishH6 in the landH776 of AssyriaH804, and the outcastsH5080 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and shall worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the holyH6944 mountH2022 at JerusalemH3389.
The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}
And he will lift upH5375 an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319 unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031:
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
And in that dayH3117 shall ye sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068, callH7121 upon his nameH8034, declareH3045 his doingsH5949 among the peopleH5971, make mentionH2142 that his nameH8034 is exaltedH7682. {call…: or, proclaim}
And in that dayH3117 shall ye sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068, callH7121 upon his nameH8034, declareH3045 his doingsH5949 among the peopleH5971, make mentionH2142 that his nameH8034 is exaltedH7682. {call…: or, proclaim}
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
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}
For yet a veryH4213 little whileH4592, and the indignationH2195 shall ceaseH3615, and mine angerH639 in their destructionH8399.
In that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 with his soreH7186 and greatH1419 and strongH2389 swordH2719 shall punishH6485 leviathanH3882 the piercingH1281 serpentH5175, even leviathanH3882 that crookedH6129 serpentH5175; and he shall slayH2026 the dragonH8577 that is in the seaH3220. {piercing: or, crossing like a bar}
In that dayH3117 singH6031 ye unto her, A vineyardH3754 of red wineH2561+H2531.
I the LORDH3068 do keepH5341 it; I will waterH8248 it every momentH7281: lest any hurtH6485 it, I will keepH5341 it nightH3915 and dayH3117.
FuryH2534 is not in me: who would setH5414 the briersH8068 and thornsH7898 against me in battleH4421? I would goH6585 through them, I would burnH6702 them togetherH3162. {go…: or, march against}
Or let him take holdH2388 of my strengthH4581, that he may makeH6213 peaceH7965 with me; and he shall makeH6213 peaceH7965 with me.
He shall cause them that comeH935 of JacobH3290 to take rootH8327: IsraelH3478 shall blossomH6692 and budH6524, and fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with fruitH8570.
Hath he smittenH5221 him, as he smoteH4347 those that smoteH5221 him? or is he slainH2026 according to the slaughterH2027 of them that are slainH2026 by him? {as…: Heb. according to the stroke of}
In measureH5432, when it shooteth forthH7971, thou wilt debateH7378 with it: he stayethH1898 his roughH7186 windH7307 in the dayH3117 of the east windH6921. {it shooteth…: or, thou sendest it forth} {he…: or, when he removeth it with}
By thisH2063 therefore shall the iniquityH5771 of JacobH3290 be purgedH3722; and this is all the fruitH6529 to take awayH5493 his sinH2403; when he makethH7760 all the stonesH68 of the altarH4196 as chalkstonesH1615 that are beaten in sunderH5310, the grovesH842 and imagesH2553 shall not stand upH6965. {images: or, sun images}
Yet the defencedH1219 cityH5892 shall be desolateH910, and the habitationH5116 forsakenH7971, and leftH5800 like a wildernessH4057: there shall the calfH5695 feedH7462, and there shall he lie downH7257, and consumeH3615 the branchesH5585 thereof.
When the boughsH7105 thereof are witheredH3001, they shall be broken offH7665: the womenH802 comeH935, and set them on fireH215: for it is a peopleH5971 of no understandingH998: therefore he that madeH6213 them will not have mercyH7355 on them, and he that formedH3335 them will shew them no favourH2603.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall beat offH2251 from the channelH7641 of the riverH5104 unto the streamH5158 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall be gatheredH3950 oneH259 by oneH259, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the greatH1419 trumpetH7782 shall be blownH8628, and they shall comeH935 which were ready to perishH6 in the landH776 of AssyriaH804, and the outcastsH5080 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and shall worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the holyH6944 mountH2022 at JerusalemH3389.
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 AhazH271 diedH4194 was this burdenH4853.
And the LORDH3068 shall inheritH5157 JudahH3063 his portionH2506 in the holyH6944 landH127, and shall chooseH977 JerusalemH3389 again.
And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592 thee, sayingH559, What is the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068? thou shalt then sayH559 unto them, What burdenH4853? I will even forsakeH5203 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, I will even punishH6485 that manH376 and his houseH1004. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Thus shall ye sayH559 every oneH376 to his neighbourH7453, and every oneH376 to his brotherH251, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142 no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015 the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430.
Thus shalt thou sayH559 to the prophetH5030, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 thee? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
ButH518 since ye sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068; therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Because ye sayH559 this wordH1697, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, and I have sentH7971 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068;
Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterlyH5377 forgetH5382 you, and I will forsakeH5203 you, and the cityH5892 that I gaveH5414 you and your fathersH1, and cast you out of my presenceH6440:
And I will bringH5414 an everlastingH5769 reproachH2781 upon you, and a perpetualH5769 shameH3640, which shall not be forgottenH7911.
The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}
And CushH3568 begatH3205 NimrodH5248: he beganH2490 to beH1961 a mighty oneH1368 in the earthH776.
He was a mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: whereforeH3651 it is saidH559, Even as NimrodH5248 the mightyH1368 hunterH6718 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the beginningH7225 of his kingdomH4467 was BabelH894, and ErechH751, and AccadH390, and CalnehH3641, in the landH776 of ShinarH8152. {Babel: Gr. Babylon}
And the whole earthH776 was of oneH259 languageH8193, and of oneH259 speechH1697. {language: Heb. lip.} {speech: Heb. words}
And it came to pass, as they journeyedH5265 from the eastH6924, that they foundH4672 a plainH1237 in the landH776 of ShinarH8152; and they dweltH3427 there. {from…: or, eastward}
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, Go toH3051, let us makeH3835 brickH3843, and burnH8313 them throughlyH8316. And they had brickH3843 for stoneH68, and slimeH2564 hadH1961 they for morterH2563. {they said…: Heb. a man said to his neighbour} {burn…: Heb. burn them to a burning}
And they saidH559, Go toH3051, let us buildH1129 us a cityH5892 and a towerH4026, whose topH7218 may reach unto heavenH8064; and let us makeH6213 us a nameH8034, lest we be scattered abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776.
And the LORDH3068 came downH3381 to seeH7200 the cityH5892 and the towerH4026, which the childrenH1121 of menH120 buildedH1129.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 is oneH259, and they have all oneH259 languageH8193; and this they beginH2490 to doH6213: and now nothingH3808+H3605 will be restrainedH1219 from them, which they have imaginedH2161 to doH6213.
Go toH3051, let us go downH3381, and there confoundH1101 their languageH8193, thatH834 they may not understandH8085 oneH376 another'sH7453 speechH8193.
So the LORDH3068 scattered them abroadH6327 from thenceH8033 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776: and they left offH2308 to buildH1129 the cityH5892.
Therefore is the name of itH8034 calledH7121 BabelH894; because the LORDH3068 did there confoundH1101 the languageH8193 of all the earthH776: and from thence didH6327 the LORDH3068 scatter them abroadH6327 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776. {Babel: that is, Confusion}
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.
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Keep not thou silenceH1824, O GodH430: hold not thy peaceH2790, and be not stillH8252, O GodH410. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
For, lo, thine enemiesH341 make a tumultH1993: and they that hateH8130 thee have lifted upH5375 the headH7218.
They have taken craftyH6191 counselH5475 against thy peopleH5971, and consultedH3289 against thy hidden onesH6845.
They have saidH559, ComeH3212, and let us cut them offH3582 from being a nationH1471; that the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 may be no more in remembranceH2142.
For they have consultedH3289 togetherH3162 with one consentH3820: they areH3772 confederateH1285 against thee: {consent: Heb. heart}
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
DoH6213 unto them as unto the MidianitesH4080; as to SiseraH5516, as to JabinH2985, at the brookH5158 of KisonH7028:
Which perishedH8045 at EndorH5874: they became as dungH1828 for the earthH127.
MakeH7896 their noblesH5081 like OrebH6159, and like ZeebH2062: yea, all their princesH5257 as ZebahH2078, and as ZalmunnaH6759:
Who saidH559, Let us take to ourselves the housesH4999 of GodH430 in possessionH3423.
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
As the fireH784 burnethH1197 a woodH3293, and as the flameH3852 settethH3857 the mountainsH2022 on fireH3857;
So persecuteH7291 them with thy tempestH5591, and make them afraidH926 with thy stormH5492.
FillH4390 their facesH6440 with shameH7036; that they may seekH1245 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068.
Let them be confoundedH954 and troubledH926 for everH5703; yea, let them be put to shameH2659, and perishH6:
That men may knowH3045 that thou, whose nameH8034 alone is JEHOVAHH3068, art the most highH5945 over all the earthH776.
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
DoH6213 unto them as unto the MidianitesH4080; as to SiseraH5516, as to JabinH2985, at the brookH5158 of KisonH7028:
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
