Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
Who is like unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the godsH410? who is like thee, gloriousH142 in holinessH6944, fearfulH3372 in praisesH8416, doingH6213 wondersH6382? {gods: or, mighty ones?}
He hath shewedH5046 thee, O manH120, what is goodH2896; and what doth the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of thee, but to doH6213 justlyH4941, and to loveH160 mercyH2617, and to walkH3212 humblyH6800 with thy GodH430? {walk…: Heb. humble thyself to walk}
Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and spakeH559 to all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forestH3293.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to MicahH4318 the MorasthiteH4183 in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which he sawH2372 concerning SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 anH259 officerH5631, and saidH559, HastenH4116 hither MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229. {officer: or, eunuch}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH376 on his throneH3678, having put onH3847 their robesH899, in a void placeH1637 in the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them. {void…: Heb. floor}
And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270: and he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until thou have consumedH3615 them.
And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the king'sH4428 handH3027.
And the messengerH4397 that was goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 unto the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 that which is goodH2896.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, what the LORDH3068 saithH559 unto me, that will I speakH1696.
So he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4321, shall we goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall we forbearH2308? And he answeredH559 him, GoH5927, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou tellH1696 me nothing but that which is trueH571 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068?
And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the hillsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have not a shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113: let them returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would prophesyH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451?
And he saidH559, HearH8085 thou therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 on his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall persuadeH6601 AhabH256, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And one saidH559 on this mannerH3541, and another saidH559 on that mannerH3541. {persuade: or, deceive}
And there came forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will persuadeH6601 him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
And there was a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, whose nameH8034 was MicahH4321.
And he saidH559 unto his motherH517, The eleven hundredH505+H3967 shekels of silverH3701 that were takenH3947 from thee, about which thou cursedstH422, and spakestH559 of also in mine earsH241, behold, the silverH3701 is with me; I tookH3947 it. And his motherH517 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068, my sonH1121.
And when he had restoredH7725 the eleven hundredH505+H3967 shekels of silverH3701 to his motherH517, his motherH517 saidH559, I had whollyH6942 dedicatedH6942 the silverH3701 unto the LORDH3068 from my handH3027 for my sonH1121, to makeH6213 a graven imageH6459 and a molten imageH4541: now therefore I will restoreH7725 it unto thee.
Yet he restoredH7725 the moneyH3701 unto his motherH517; and his motherH517 tookH3947 two hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and gaveH5414 them to the founderH6884, who madeH6213 thereof a graven imageH6459 and a molten imageH4541: and they were in the houseH1004 of MicahH4321.
And the manH376 MicahH4318 had an houseH1004 of godsH430, and madeH6213 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and consecratedH4390+H3027 oneH259 of his sonsH1121, who became his priestH3548. {consecrated: Heb. filled the hand}
In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, but every manH376 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in his own eyesH5869.
And there was a young manH5288 out of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 of the familyH4940 of JudahH3063, who was a LeviteH3881, and he sojournedH1481 there.
And the manH376 departedH3212 out of the cityH5892 from BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 to sojournH1481 where he could findH4672 a place: and he cameH935 to mountH2022 EphraimH669 to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, as he journeyedH6213+H1870. {as he…: Heb. in making his way}
And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, WhenceH370 comestH935 thou? And he saidH559 unto him, I am a LeviteH3881 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, and I goH1980 to sojournH1481 where I may findH4672 a place.
And MicahH4318 saidH559 unto him, DwellH3427 with me, and be unto me a fatherH1 and a priestH3548, and I will giveH5414 thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701 by the yearH3117, and a suitH6187 of apparelH899, and thy victualsH4241. So the LeviteH3881 went inH3212. {a suit…: or, a double suit, etc: Heb. an order of garments}
And the LeviteH3881 was contentH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376; and the young manH5288 was unto him as oneH259 of his sonsH1121.
And MicahH4318 consecratedH4390+H3027 the LeviteH3881; and the young manH5288 became his priestH3548, and was in the houseH1004 of MicahH4318.
Then saidH559 MicahH4318, Now knowH3045 I that the LORDH3068 will do me goodH3190, seeing I have a LeviteH3881 to my priestH3548.
In those daysH3117 there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478: and in those daysH3117 the tribeH7626 of the DanitesH1839 soughtH1245 them an inheritanceH5159 to dwell inH3427; for unto that dayH3117 all their inheritanceH5159 had not fallenH5307 unto them amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 sentH7971 of their familyH4940 fiveH2568 menH582 from their coastsH7098, menH1121 of valourH2428, from ZorahH6881, and from EshtaolH847, to spyH7270 out the landH776, and to searchH2713 it; and they saidH559 unto them, GoH3212, searchH2713 the landH776: who when they cameH935 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, to the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they lodgedH3885 there. {men of: Heb. sons of}
When they were by the houseH1004 of MicahH4318, they knewH5234 the voiceH6963 of the young manH5288 the LeviteH3881: and they turned inH5493 thither, and saidH559 unto him, Who broughtH935 thee hitherH1988? and what makestH6213 thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
And he saidH559 unto them, ThusH2090 and thusH2090 dealethH6213 MicahH4318 with me, and hath hiredH7936 me, and I am his priestH3548.
And they saidH559 unto him, Ask counselH7592, we pray thee, of GodH430, that we may knowH3045 whether our wayH1870 which we goH1980 shall be prosperousH6743.
And the priestH3548 saidH559 unto them, GoH3212 in peaceH7965: beforeH5227 the LORDH3068 is your wayH1870 wherein ye goH3212.
And they tookH3947 the things which MicahH4318 had madeH6213, and the priestH3548 which he had, and cameH935 unto LaishH3919, unto a peopleH5971 that were at quietH8252 and secureH982: and they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784.
And the childrenH1121 of DanH1835 set upH6965 the graven imageH6459: and JonathanH3083, the sonH1121 of GershomH1647, the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, he and his sonsH1121 were priestsH3548 to the tribeH7626 of DanH1839 until the dayH3117 of the captivityH1540 of the landH776.
And they set them upH7760 Micah'sH4318 graven imageH6459, which he madeH6213, all the timeH3117 that the houseH1004 of GodH430 was in ShilohH7887.
Therefore shalt thou giveH5414 presentsH7964 to MoreshethgathH4182: the housesH1004 of AchzibH392 shall be a lieH391 to the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {to…: or, for Moreshethgath} {Achzib: that is, A lie}
For her woundH4347 is incurableH605; for it is comeH935 unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060 unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389. {her…: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}
DeclareH5046 ye it not at GathH1661, weepH1058 ye not at allH1058: in the house of AphrahH1036 rollH6428+H6428 thyself in the dustH6083. {Aphrah: that is, Dust}
Pass ye awayH5674, thou inhabitantH3427 of SaphirH8208, having thy shameH1322 nakedH6181: the inhabitantH3427 of ZaananH6630 came not forthH3318 in the mourningH4553 of BethezelH1018; he shall receiveH3947 of you his standingH5979. {thou…: or, thou that dwellest fairly} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {Zaanan: or, The country of flocks} {Bethezel: or, A place near}
For the inhabitantH3427 of MarothH4796 waited carefullyH2342 for goodH2896: but evilH7451 came downH3381 from the LORDH3068 unto the gateH8179 of JerusalemH3389. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {waited…: or, was grieved}
O thou inhabitantH3427 of LachishH3923, bindH7573 the chariotH4818 to the swift beastH7409: she is the beginningH7225 of the sinH2403 to the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: for the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 were foundH4672 in thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore shalt thou giveH5414 presentsH7964 to MoreshethgathH4182: the housesH1004 of AchzibH392 shall be a lieH391 to the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {to…: or, for Moreshethgath} {Achzib: that is, A lie}
Yet will I bringH935 an heirH3423 unto thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MareshahH4762: he shall comeH935 unto AdullamH5725 the gloryH3519 of IsraelH3478. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress} {he…: or, the glory of Israel shall, etc}
Make thee baldH7139, and pollH1494 thee for thy delicateH8588 childrenH1121; enlargeH7337 thy baldnessH7144 as the eagleH5404; for they are gone into captivityH1540 from thee.
He is comeH935 to AiathH5857, he is passedH5674 to MigronH4051; at MichmashH4363 he hath laid upH6485 his carriagesH3627:
They are gone overH5674 the passageH4569: they have taken up their lodgingH4411 at GebaH1387; RamahH7414 is afraidH2729; GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 is fledH5127.
Lift upH6670 thy voiceH6963, O daughterH1323 ofH1530 GallimH1554: cause it to be heardH7181 unto LaishH3919, O poorH6041 AnathothH6068. {Lift…: Heb. Cry shrill with}
MadmenahH4088 is removedH5074; the inhabitantsH3427 of GebimH1374 gather themselves to fleeH5756.
As yet shall he remainH5975 at NobH5011 that dayH3117: he shall shakeH5130 his handH3027 against the mountH2022 of the daughterH1323+H1004 of ZionH6726, the hillH1389 of JerusalemH3389.
WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205, and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027.
And they covetH2530 fieldsH7704, and take them by violenceH1497; and housesH1004, and take them awayH5375: so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. {oppress: or, defraud}
WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427 alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776! {they: Heb. ye}
ProphesyH5197 ye not, say they to them that prophesyH5197: they shall not prophesyH5197 to them, that they shall not takeH5253 shameH3639. {Prophesy ye…: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}
IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980 in the spiritH7307 and falsehoodH8267 do lieH3576, saying, I will prophesyH5197 unto thee of wineH3196 and of strong drinkH7941; he shall even be the prophetH5197 of this peopleH5971. {walking…: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely}
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
I will surelyH622 assembleH622, O JacobH3290, all of thee; I will surelyH6908 gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478; I will putH7760 them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of BozrahH1223+H1224, as the flockH5739 in the midstH8432 of their foldH1699: they shall make great noiseH1949 by reason of the multitude of menH120.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the remnantH7605 of IsraelH3478, and such as are escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, shall no more againH3254 stayH8172 upon him that smoteH5221 them; but shall stayH8172 upon the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, in truthH571.
The remnantH7605 shall returnH7725, even the remnantH7605 of JacobH3290, unto the mightyH1368 GodH410.
For though thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, yet a remnantH7605 of them shall returnH7725: the consumptionH3631 decreedH2782 shall overflowH7857 with righteousnessH6666. {of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
For the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 shall makeH6213 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782, in the midstH7130 of all the landH776.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
Therefore nightH3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821+H2821 unto you, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall go downH935 over the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be darkH6937 over them. {that…: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that…: divine: Heb. from divining}
Then shall the seersH2374 be ashamedH954, and the divinersH7080 confoundedH2659: yea, they shall all coverH5844 their lipsH8222; for there is no answerH4617 of GodH430. {lips: Heb. upper lip}
StayH4102 yourselves, and wonderH8539; cry ye outH8173, and cryH8173: they are drunkenH7937, but not with wineH3196; they staggerH5128, but not with strong drinkH7941. {cry ye…: or, take your pleasure, and riot}
For the LORDH3068 hath poured outH5258 upon you the spiritH7307 of deep sleepH8639, and hath closedH6105 your eyesH5869: the prophetsH5030 and your rulersH7218, the seersH2374 hath he coveredH3680. {rulers: Heb. heads}
And the visionH2380 of all is become unto you as the wordsH1697 of a bookH5612 that is sealedH2856, which men deliverH5414 to one that is learnedH3045, sayingH559, ReadH7121 this, I pray thee: and he saithH559, I cannotH3201; for it is sealedH2856: {book: or, letter}
And the bookH5612 is deliveredH5414 to him that is not learnedH3045+H5612, sayingH559, ReadH7121 this, I pray thee: and he saithH559, I am not learnedH3045.
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
Because the palacesH759 shall be forsakenH5203; the multitudeH1995 of the cityH5892 shall be leftH5800; the fortsH6076 and towersH975 shall be for densH4631 forH5704 everH5769, a joyH4885 of wild assesH6501, a pastureH4829 of flocksH5739; {forts…: or, clifts and watchtowers}
But in the lastH319 daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and it shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and peopleH5971 shall flowH5102 unto it.
And it shall come to pass in the lastH319 daysH3117, that the mountainH2022 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and all nationsH1471 shall flowH5102 unto it. {established: or, prepared}
But they shall sitH3427 every manH376 under his vineH1612 and under his fig treeH8384; and none shall make them afraidH2729: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath spokenH1696 it.
If ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776:
And I will makeH7760 her that haltedH6760 a remnantH7611, and her that was cast far offH1972 a strongH6099 nationH1471: and the LORDH3068 shall reignH4427 over them in mountH2022 ZionH6726 from henceforth, even forH5704 everH5769.
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.
Be in painH2342, and labour to bring forthH1518, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, like a woman in travailH3205: for now shalt thou go forthH3318 out of the cityH7151, and thou shalt dwellH7931 in the fieldH7704, and thou shalt goH935 even to BabylonH894; there shalt thou be deliveredH5337; there the LORDH3068 shall redeemH1350 thee from the handH3709 of thine enemiesH341.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 until this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. {feed or, rule}
Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH410+H6005. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
And they shall wasteH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935 into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869 within our bordersH1366. {waste: Heb. eat up} {in the…: or, with her own naked swords}
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.
Wherewith shall I come beforeH6923 the LORDH3068, and bowH3721 myself before the highH4791 GodH430? shall I come beforeH6923 him with burnt offeringsH5930, with calvesH5695 of a yearH8141 oldH1121? {of a…: Heb. sons of a year?}
Will the LORDH3068 be pleasedH7521 with thousandsH505 of ramsH352, or with ten thousandsH7233 of riversH5158 of oilH8081? shall I giveH5414 my firstbornH1060 for my transgressionH6588, the fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315? {body: Heb. belly}
He hath shewedH5046 thee, O manH120, what is goodH2896; and what doth the LORDH3068 requireH1875 of thee, but to doH6213 justlyH4941, and to loveH160 mercyH2617, and to walkH3212 humblyH6800 with thy GodH430? {walk…: Heb. humble thyself to walk}
I will sayH559 to the northH6828, Give upH5414; and to the southH8486, Keep not backH3607: bringH935 my sonsH1121 from farH7350, and my daughtersH1323 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776;
Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254 him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him.
Therefore I will lookH6822 unto the LORDH3068; I will waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468: my GodH430 will hearH8085 me.
And I will waitH2442 upon the LORDH3068, that hidethH5641 his faceH6440 from the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and I will lookH6960 for him.
In that dayH3117 also he shall comeH935 even to thee from AssyriaH804, and from the fortifiedH4693 citiesH5892, and from the fortressH4693 even to the riverH5104, and from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from mountainH2022 to mountainH2022. {and from…cities: or, even to…cities}
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.
IfG1437 the footG4228 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the handG5495, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as plantingsH4302 of a vineyardH3754: and I will pour downH5064 the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will discoverH1540 the foundationsH3247 thereof.
And all the graven imagesH6456 thereof shall be beaten to piecesH3807, and all the hiresH868 thereof shall be burnedH8313 with the fireH784, and all the idolsH6091 thereof will I layH7760 desolateH8077: for she gatheredH6908 it of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181, and they shall returnH7725 to the hireH868 of an harlotH2181.
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
For he rentH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080+H5077 IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213; they departedH5493 not from them;
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
Therefore I will wailH5594 and howlH3213, I will goH3212 strippedH7758+H7758 and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the dragonsH8577, and mourningH60 as the owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: Heb. daughters of the owl}
For her woundH4347 is incurableH605; for it is comeH935 unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060 unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389. {her…: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}
MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and spakeH559 to all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forestH3293.
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
Then spakeH559 the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, This manH376 is worthyH4941 to dieH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085 with your earsH241. {This man…: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man}
Then spakeH559 JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heardH8085.
Therefore now amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430; and the LORDH3068 will repentH5162 him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696 against you.
As for me, behold, I am in your handH3027: doH6213 with me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 and meetH3477 unto you. {as…: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes}
But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
Then saidH559 the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 unto the priestsH3548 and to the prophetsH5030; This manH376 is not worthyH4941 to dieH4194: for he hath spokenH1696 to us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Then rose upH6965 certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and spakeH559 to all the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and spakeH559 to all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forestH3293.
Did HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and all JudahH3063 put him at allH4191 to deathH4191? did he not fearH3373 the LORDH3068, and besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068+H6440, and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451 which he had pronouncedH1696 against them? ThusH587 might we procureH6213 greatH1419 evilH7451 against our soulsH5315. {the LORD, and the: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 unto himG846, InG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449: forG1063 thusG3779 it is writtenG1125 byG1223 the prophetG4396,
AndG2532 thouG4771 BethlehemG965, in the landG1093 of JudaG2448, artG1488 notG3760 the leastG1646 amongG1722 the princesG2232 of JudaG2448: forG1063 out ofG1537 theeG4675 shall comeG1831 a GovernorG2233, thatG3748 shall ruleG4165 myG3450 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474. {rule: or, feed}
For the sonH1121 dishonourethH5034 the fatherH1, the daughterH1323 riseth upH6965 against her motherH517, the daughter in lawH3618 against her mother in lawH2545; a man'sH376 enemiesH341 are the menH582 of his own houseH1004.
AndG1161 the brotherG80 shall deliver upG3860 the brotherG80 toG1519 deathG2288, andG2532 the fatherG3962 the childG5043: andG2532 the childrenG5043 shall rise upG1881 againstG1909 their parentsG1118, andG2532 causeG2289 themG846 to be put to deathG2289.
ForG1063 I am comeG2064 to setG1369 a manG444 at varianceG1369 againstG2596 hisG846 fatherG3962, andG2532 the daughterG2364 againstG2596 herG846 motherG3384, andG2532 the daughter in lawG3565 againstG2596 herG846 mother in lawG3994.
AndG2532 a man'sG444 foesG2190 shall be they of his ownG846 householdG3615.
I will surelyH622 assembleH622, O JacobH3290, all of thee; I will surelyH6908 gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478; I will putH7760 them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of BozrahH1223+H1224, as the flockH5739 in the midstH8432 of their foldH1699: they shall make great noiseH1949 by reason of the multitude of menH120.
The breakerH6555 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 them: they have broken upH6555, and have passed throughH5674 the gateH8179, and are gone outH3318 by it: and their kingH4428 shall passH5674 beforeH6440 them, and the LORDH3068 on the headH7218 of them.
IG1473 amG1510 the doorG2374: byG1223 meG1700 ifG1437 any manG5100 enter inG1525, he shall be savedG4982, andG2532 shall go inG1525 andG2532 outG1831, andG2532 findG2147 pastureG3542.
IG1473 amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166: the goodG2570 shepherdG4166 givethG5087 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 the sheepG4263.
IG1473 amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166, andG2532 knowG1097 myG1699 sheep, andG2532 am knownG1097 ofG5259 mineG1699.
In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427.
FiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JerushaH3388, the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he didH6213 according to all that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 had doneH6213.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not removedH5493: the peopleH5971 sacrificedH2076 and burned incenseH6999 still in the high placesH1116. He builtH1129 the higherH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JothamH3147, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
In those daysH3117 the LORDH3068 beganH2490 to sendH7971 against JudahH3063 RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425.
And JothamH3147 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and AhazH271 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
In the seventeenthH7651+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.
TwentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhazH271 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, and didH6213 not that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
But he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, yea, and made his sonH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.
Then RezinH7526 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 to JerusalemH3389 to warH4421: and they besiegedH6696 AhazH271, but couldH3201 not overcomeH3898 him.
At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 recoveredH7725 ElathH359 to SyriaH758+H130, and draveH5394 the JewsH3064 from ElathH359: and the SyriansH726 cameH935 to ElathH359, and dweltH3427 there unto this dayH3117. {from Elath: Heb. from Eloth}
So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, I am thy servantH5650 and thy sonH1121: come upH5927, and saveH3467 me out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which rise upH6965 against me.
And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it for a presentH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkenedH8085 unto him: for the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 went upH5927 against DamascusH1834, and tookH8610 it, and carried the people of it captiveH1540 to KirH7024, and slewH4191 RezinH7526. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
And kingH4428 AhazH271 wentH3212 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7125 TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 an altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834: and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the fashionH1823 of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all the workmanshipH4639 thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
And UrijahH223 the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196 according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834: so UrijahH223 the priestH3548 madeH6213 it against kingH4428 AhazH271 cameH935 from DamascusH1834.
And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 approachedH7126 to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon.
And he burntH6999 his burnt offeringH5930 and his meat offeringH4503, and pouredH5258 his drink offeringH5262, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 of his peace offeringsH8002, upon the altarH4196. {his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his}
And he broughtH7126 also the brasenH5178 altarH4196, which was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, from the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004, from between the altarH4196 and the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and putH5414 it on the northH6828 sideH3409 of the altarH4196.
And kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, sayingH559, Upon the greatH1419 altarH4196 burnH6999 the morningH1242 burnt offeringH5930, and the eveningH6153 meat offeringH4503, and the king'sH4428 burnt sacrificeH5930, and his meat offeringH4503, with the burnt offeringH5930 of all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and their meat offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262; and sprinkleH2236 upon it all the bloodH1818 of the burnt offeringH5930, and all the bloodH1818 of the sacrificeH2077: and the brasenH5178 altarH4196 shall be for me to enquireH1239 by.
Thus didH6213 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680.
And kingH4428 AhazH271 cut offH7112 the bordersH4526 of the basesH4350, and removedH5493 the laverH3595 from off them; and took downH3381 the seaH3220 from off the brasenH5178 oxenH1241 that were under it, and putH5414 it upon a pavementH4837 of stonesH68.
And the covertH4329+H4329 for the sabbathH7676 that they had builtH1129 in the houseH1004, and the king'sH4428 entryH3996 withoutH2435, turnedH5437 he from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 forH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhazH271 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And AhazH271 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and HezekiahH2396 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
But he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, yea, and made his sonH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And kingH4428 AhazH271 wentH3212 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7125 TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 an altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834: and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the fashionH1823 of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all the workmanshipH4639 thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
And UrijahH223 the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196 according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834: so UrijahH223 the priestH3548 madeH6213 it against kingH4428 AhazH271 cameH935 from DamascusH1834.
And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 approachedH7126 to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon.
And he burntH6999 his burnt offeringH5930 and his meat offeringH4503, and pouredH5258 his drink offeringH5262, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 of his peace offeringsH8002, upon the altarH4196. {his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his}
And he broughtH7126 also the brasenH5178 altarH4196, which was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, from the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004, from between the altarH4196 and the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and putH5414 it on the northH6828 sideH3409 of the altarH4196.
And kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, sayingH559, Upon the greatH1419 altarH4196 burnH6999 the morningH1242 burnt offeringH5930, and the eveningH6153 meat offeringH4503, and the king'sH4428 burnt sacrificeH5930, and his meat offeringH4503, with the burnt offeringH5930 of all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and their meat offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262; and sprinkleH2236 upon it all the bloodH1818 of the burnt offeringH5930, and all the bloodH1818 of the sacrificeH2077: and the brasenH5178 altarH4196 shall be for me to enquireH1239 by.
For the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290 is all this, and for the sinsH2403 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. What is the transgressionH6588 of JacobH3290? is it not SamariaH8111? and what are the high placesH1116 of JudahH3063? are they not JerusalemH3389?
Therefore I will makeH7760 SamariaH8111 as an heapH5856 of the fieldH7704, and as plantingsH4302 of a vineyardH3754: and I will pour downH5064 the stonesH68 thereof into the valleyH1516, and I will discoverH1540 the foundationsH3247 thereof.
And all the graven imagesH6456 thereof shall be beaten to piecesH3807, and all the hiresH868 thereof shall be burnedH8313 with the fireH784, and all the idolsH6091 thereof will I layH7760 desolateH8077: for she gatheredH6908 it of the hireH868 of an harlotH2181, and they shall returnH7725 to the hireH868 of an harlotH2181.
HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
They build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. {blood: Heb. bloods}
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
