O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG1410, beingG5607 evilG4190, speakG2980 good thingsG18? forG1063 out ofG1537 the abundanceG4051 of the heartG2588 the mouthG4750 speakethG2980.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, these thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto youG5213, thatG3363 ye sinG264 notG3363. AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 sinG264, we haveG2192 an advocateG3875 withG4314 the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342:
AndG2532 heG846 isG2076 the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG2257 sinsG266: andG1161 notG3756 forG4012 oursG2251 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 forG4012 the sins of the wholeG3650 worldG2889.
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we do knowG1097 thatG3754 we knowG1097 himG846, ifG1437 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785.
He that saithG3004, I knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 keepethG5083 notG3361 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the truthG225 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG5129.
ButG1161 whosoG3739 keepethG302+G5083 hisG846 wordG3056, inG1722 himG5129 verilyG230 isG5048 the loveG26 of GodG2316 perfectedG5048: herebyG1722+G5129 know weG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 inG1722 himG846.
He that saithG3004 he abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 oughtG3784 himselfG846 alsoG2532 soG3779 to walkG4043, even asG2531 heG1565 walkedG4043.
BrethrenG80, I writeG1125 noG3756 newG2537 commandmentG1785 unto youG5213, butG235 an oldG3820 commandmentG1785 whichG3739 ye hadG2192 fromG575 the beginningG746. The oldG3820 commandmentG1785 isG2076 the wordG3056 whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746.
AgainG3825, a newG2537 commandmentG1785 I writeG1125 unto youG5213, which thingG3739 isG2076 trueG227 inG1722 himG846 andG2532 inG1722 youG5213: becauseG3754 the darknessG4653 is pastG3855, andG2532 the trueG228 lightG5457 nowG2235 shinethG5316.
He that saithG3004 he isG1511 inG1722 the lightG5457, andG2532 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80, isG2076 inG1722 darknessG4653 even untilG2193 nowG737.
He that lovethG25 hisG846 brotherG80 abidethG3306 inG1722 the lightG5457, andG2532 there isG2076 noneG3756 occasion of stumblingG4625 inG1722 himG846. {occasion…: Gr. scandall}
ButG1161 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80 isG2076 inG1722 darknessG4653, andG2532 walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG4653, andG2532 knowethG1492 notG3756 whitherG4226 he goethG5217, becauseG3754 that darknessG4653 hath blindedG5186 hisG846 eyesG3788.
I writeG1125 unto youG5213, little childrenG5040, becauseG3754 your sinsG266 are forgivenG863 youG5213 forG1223 hisG846 name'sG3686 sakeG1223.
I writeG1125 unto youG5213, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I writeG1125 unto youG5213, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190. I writeG1125 unto youG5213, little childrenG3813, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 the FatherG3962.
I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 ye have knownG1097 him that is fromG575 the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213, young menG3495, becauseG3754 ye areG2075 strongG2478, andG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye have overcomeG3528 the wicked oneG4190.
LoveG25 notG3361 the worldG2889, neitherG3366 the things that are inG1722 the worldG2889. IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG846.
ForG3754 allG3956 that is inG1722 the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561, andG2532 the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788, andG2532 the prideG212 of lifeG979, isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 the FatherG3962, butG235 isG2076 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 the worldG2889 passeth awayG3855, andG2532 the lustG1939 thereofG846: butG1161 he that doethG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165.
Little childrenG3813, it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610: andG2532 asG2531 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 antichristG500 shall comeG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 are thereG1096 manyG4183 antichristsG500; wherebyG3606 we knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610.
They went outG1831 fromG1537 usG2257, butG235 they wereG2258 notG3756 ofG1537 usG2257; forG1063 ifG1487 they had beenG2258 ofG1537 usG2257, they wouldG302 no doubt have continuedG3306 withG3326 usG2257: butG235 they went out, thatG2443 they might be made manifestG5319 thatG3754 they wereG1526 notG3756 allG3956 ofG1537 usG2257.
ButG2532 yeG5210 haveG2192 an unctionG5545 fromG575 the Holy OneG40, andG2532 ye knowG1492 all thingsG3956.
I haveG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 unto youG5213 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 the truthG225, butG235 becauseG3754 ye knowG1492 itG846, andG2532 thatG3754 noG3956+G3756 lieG5579 isG2076 ofG1537 the truthG225.
WhoG5101 isG2076 a liarG5583 butG1508 he that deniethG720 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076+G3756 the ChristG5547? HeG3778 isG2076 antichristG500, that deniethG720 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the SonG5207.
WhosoeverG3956 deniethG720 the SonG5207, the same hathG2192 notG3761 the FatherG3962: (but) he that acknowledgethG3670 the SonG5207 hathG2192 the FatherG3962 alsoG2532.
LetG3306 that thereforeG3767 abideG3306 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 yeG5210 have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746. IfG1437 that whichG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746 shall remainG3306 inG1722 youG5213, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall continueG3306 inG1722 the SonG5207, andG2532 inG1722 the FatherG3962.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the promiseG1860 thatG3739 heG846 hath promisedG1861 usG2254, even eternalG166 lifeG2222.
TheseG5023 things have I writtenG1125 unto youG5213 concerningG4012 them that seduceG4105 youG5209.
ButG2532 the anointingG5545 whichG3739 yeG5210 have receivedG2983 ofG575 himG846 abidethG3306 inG1722 youG5213, andG2532 ye needG5532+G2192 notG3756 thatG2443 any manG5100 teachG1321 youG5209: butG235 asG5613 the sameG846 anointingG5545 teachethG1321 youG5209 ofG4012 all thingsG3956, andG2532 isG2076 truthG227, andG2532 isG2076 noG3756 lieG5579, andG2532 even asG2531 it hath taughtG1321 youG5209, ye shall abideG3306 inG1722 himG846. {in him: or, in it}
AndG2532 nowG3568, little childrenG5040, abideG3306 inG1722 himG846; thatG2443, whenG3752 he shall appearG5319, we may haveG2192 confidenceG3954, andG2532 notG3361 be ashamedG153 beforeG575 himG846 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952.
IfG1437 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 he isG2076 righteousG1342, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 every oneG3956 that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 is bornG1080 ofG1537 himG846. {ye know that every: or, know ye…}
Little childrenG3813, it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610: andG2532 asG2531 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 antichristG500 shall comeG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 are thereG1096 manyG4183 antichristsG500; wherebyG3606 we knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
WhosoeverG3956 deniethG720 the SonG5207, the same hathG2192 notG3761 the FatherG3962: (but) he that acknowledgethG3670 the SonG5207 hathG2192 the FatherG3962 alsoG2532.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, Have I beenG1510 so longG5118 timeG5550 withG3326 youG5216, and yetG2532 hast thouG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 meG3165, PhilipG5376? he that hath seenG3708 meG1691 hath seenG3708 the FatherG3962; andG2532 howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771 then, ShewG1166 usG2254 the FatherG3962?
TheseG5023 things have I writtenG1125 unto youG5213 concerningG4012 them that seduceG4105 youG5209.
BelovedG27, believeG4100 notG3361 everyG3956 spiritG4151, butG235 tryG1381 the spiritsG4151 whetherG1487 they areG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316: becauseG3754 manyG4183 false prophetsG5578 are gone outG1831 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
HerebyG1722+G5129 know yeG1097 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: EveryG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessethG3670 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316:
AndG2532 everyG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessethG3670 notG3361 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316: andG2532 thisG5124 isG2076 that spirit of antichristG500, whereofG3739 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it should comeG2064; and evenG2532 nowG3568 alreadyG2235 is itG2076 inG1722 the worldG2889.
YeG5210 areG2075 ofG1537 GodG2316, little childrenG5040, andG2532 have overcomeG3528 themG846: becauseG3754 greaterG3187 is he that isG2076 inG1722 youG5213, thanG2228 he that is inG1722 the worldG2889.
TheyG846 areG1526 ofG1537 the worldG2889: thereforeG1223+G5124 speak theyG2980 ofG1537 the worldG2889, andG2532 the worldG2889 hearethG191 themG846.
WeG2249 areG2070 ofG1537 GodG2316: he that knowethG1097 GodG2316 hearethG191 usG2257; he thatG3739 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316 hearethG191 notG3756 usG2257. HerebyG1537+G5127 know weG1097 the spiritG4151 of truthG225, andG2532 the spiritG4151 of errorG4106.
BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240: forG3754 loveG26 isG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316; andG2532 every oneG3956 that lovethG25 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316, andG2532 knowethG1097 GodG2316.
He that lovethG25 notG3361 knowethG1097 notG3756 GodG2316; forG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 loveG26.
InG1722 thisG5129 was manifestedG5319 the loveG26 of GodG2316 towardG1722 usG2254, becauseG3754 that GodG2316 sentG649 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG2443 we might liveG2198 throughG1223 himG846.
HereinG1722+G5129 isG2076 loveG26, notG3754 thatG3756 weG2249 lovedG25 GodG2316, butG235 thatG3754 heG846 lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 sentG649 hisG846 SonG5207 to be the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG2257 sinsG266.
BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 usG2248, weG2249 oughtG3784 alsoG2532 to loveG25 one anotherG240.
No manG3762 hath seenG2300 GodG2316 at any timeG4455. IfG1437 we loveG25 one anotherG240, GodG2316 dwellethG3306 inG1722 usG2254, andG2532 hisG846 loveG26 isG2076 perfectedG5048 inG1722 usG2254.
HerebyG1722+G5129 know weG1097 thatG3754 we dwellG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 usG2254, becauseG3754 he hath givenG1325 usG2254 ofG1537 hisG846 SpiritG4151.
AndG2532 weG2249 have seenG2300 andG2532 do testifyG3140 thatG3754 the FatherG3962 sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the SaviourG4990 of the worldG2889.
WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall confessG3670 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 dwellethG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 GodG2316.
AndG2532 weG2249 have knownG1097 andG2532 believedG4100 the loveG26 thatG3739 GodG2316 hathG2192 toG1722 usG2254. GodG2316 isG2076 loveG26; andG2532 he that dwellethG3306 inG1722 loveG26 dwellethG3306 inG1722 GodG2316, andG2532 GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
HereinG1722+G5129 is ourG3326+G2257 loveG26 made perfectG5048, thatG2443 we may haveG2192 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920: becauseG3754 asG2531 heG1565 isG2076, soG2532 areG2070 weG2249 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG2889. {our love: Gr. love with us}
There isG2076 noG3756 fearG5401 inG1722 loveG26; butG235 perfectG5046 loveG26 castethG906 outG1854 fearG5401: becauseG3754 fearG5401 hathG2192 tormentG2851+G1161. He that fearethG5399 isG5048 notG3756 made perfectG5048 inG1722 loveG26.
WeG2249 loveG25 himG846, becauseG3754 heG846 firstG4413 lovedG25 usG2248.
IfG1437 a manG5100 sayG2036+G3754, I loveG25 GodG2316, andG2532 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80, he isG2076 a liarG5583: forG1063 he that lovethG25 notG3361 hisG846 brotherG80 whomG3739 he hath seenG3708, howG4459 canG1410 he loveG25 GodG2316 whomG3739 he hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708?
AndG2532 thisG5026 commandmentG1785 have weG2192 fromG575 himG846, ThatG2443 he who lovethG25 GodG2316 loveG25 hisG846 brotherG80 alsoG2532.
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}
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781.
The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from whence come the youngH3833 and old lionH3918, the viperH660 and fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young assesH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunchesH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them.
For the EgyptiansH4714 shall helpH5826 in vainH1892, and to no purposeH7385: therefore have I criedH7121 concerning thisH2063, TheirH1992 strengthH7293 is to sit stillH7674. {concerning…: or, to her}
Now goH935, writeH3789 it before them in a tableH3871, and noteH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may be for the timeH3117 to comeH314 forH5704 everH5703 and everH5769: {the…: Heb. the latter day}
That this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lyingH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that willH14 not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068:
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.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and stayH8172 thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
Therefore this iniquityH5771 shall be to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling outH1158 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose breakingH7667 comethH935 suddenlyH6597 at an instantH6621.
And he shall breakH7665 it as the breakingH7667 of the potters'H3335 vesselH5035 that is broken in piecesH3807; he shall not spareH2550: so that there shall not be foundH4672 in the burstingH4386 of it a sherdH2789 to takeH2846 fireH784 from the hearthH3344, or to takeH2834 waterH4325 withal out of the pitH1360. {the potters'…: Heb. the bottle of potters}
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; In returningH7729 and restH5183 shall ye be savedH3467; in quietnessH8252 and in confidenceH985 shall be your strengthH1369: and ye wouldH14 not.
But ye saidH559, No; for we will fleeH5127 upon horsesH5483; therefore shall ye fleeH5127: and, We will rideH7392 upon the swiftH7031; therefore shall they that pursueH7291 you be swiftH7043.
OneH259 thousandH505 shall flee atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of oneH259; atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: till ye be leftH3498 as a beaconH8650 upon the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as an ensignH5251 on an hillH1389. {a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast}
And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 unto you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him.
For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 no moreH1058: he will be veryH2603 graciousH2603 unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2199; when he shall hearH8085 it, he will answerH6030 thee.
And though the LordH136 giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862, and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, yet shall not thy teachersH3384 be removed into a cornerH3670 any more, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachersH3384: {affliction: or, oppression}
And thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in itH3212, when ye turn to the right handH541, and when ye turn to the leftH8041.
Ye shall defileH2930 also the coveringH6826 of thy graven imagesH6456 of silverH3701, and the ornamentH642 of thy molten imagesH4541 of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them awayH2219 as a menstruous clothH1739; thou shalt sayH559 unto it, Get thee henceH3318. {thy graven…: Heb. the graven images of thy silver} {cast: Heb. scatter}
Then shall he giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233, that thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127 withal; and breadH3899 of the increaseH8393 of the earthH127, and it shall be fatH1879 and plenteousH8082: in that dayH3117 shall thy cattleH4735 feedH7462 in largeH7337 pasturesH3733.
The oxenH504 likewise and the young assesH5895 that earH5647 the groundH127 shall eatH398 cleanH2548 provenderH1098, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovelH7371 and with the fanH4214. {clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened}
And there shall be upon every highH1364 mountainH2022, and upon every highH5375 hillH1389, riversH6388 and streamsH2988 of watersH4325 in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. {high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
Moreover the lightH216 of the moonH3842 shall be as the lightH216 of the sunH2535, and the lightH216 of the sunH2535 shall be sevenfoldH7659, as the lightH216 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 bindeth upH2280 the breachH7667 of his peopleH5971, and healethH7495 the strokeH4273 of their woundH4347.
Behold, the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 comethH935 from farH4801, burningH1197 with his angerH639, and the burdenH4858 thereof is heavyH3514: his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 as a devouringH398 fireH784: {burden…: or, grievousness of flame} {heavy: Heb. heaviness}
And his breathH7307, as an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, shall reach to the midstH2673 of the neckH6677, to siftH5130 the nationsH1471 with the sieveH5299 of vanityH7723: and there shall be a bridleH7448 in the jawsH3895 of the peopleH5971, causing them to errH8582.
Ye shall have a songH7892, as in the nightH3915 when a holyH6942 solemnityH2282 is keptH6942; and gladnessH8057 of heartH3824, as when one goethH1980 with a pipeH2485 to comeH935 into the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the mighty OneH6697 of IsraelH3478. {mighty…: Heb. Rock}
And the LORDH3068 shall cause his gloriousH1935 voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and shall shewH7200 the lighting downH5183 of his armH2220, with the indignationH2197 of his angerH639, and with the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784, with scatteringH5311, and tempestH2230, and hailstonesH68+H1259. {his glorious…: Heb. the glory of his voice}
For through the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the AssyrianH804 be beaten downH2865, which smoteH5221 with a rodH7626.
And in every placeH3605 where the groundedH4145 staffH4294 shall passH4569, which the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 upon him, it shall be with tabretsH8596 and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shakingH8573 will he fightH3898 with it. {in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay…: Heb. cause to rest upon him} {with it: or, against them}
For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come. {merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from…: or, from that which is evil}
He shall enterH935 into peaceH7965: they shall restH5117 in their bedsH4904, each one walkingH1980 in his uprightnessH5228. {enter into: or, go in} {in his…: or, before him}
But draw nearH7126 hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceressH6049, the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003 and the whoreH2181.
Against whom do ye sportH6026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wideH7337 mouthH6310, and draw outH748 the tongueH3956? are ye not childrenH3206 of transgressionH6588, a seedH2233 of falsehoodH8267,
EnflamingH2552 yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, slayingH7819 the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cliftsH5585 of the rocksH5553? {with…: or, among the oaks}
Among the smoothH2511 stones of the streamH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: even to them hast thou pouredH8210 a drink offeringH5262, thou hast offeredH5927 a meat offeringH4503. Should I receive comfortH5162 in these?
Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: even thither wentest thou upH5927 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.
BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760 thy remembranceH2146: for thou hast discoveredH1540 thyself to another than me, and art gone upH5927; thou hast enlargedH7337 thy bedH4904, and madeH3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedstH157 their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372 it. {made…: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where…: or, thou providedst room}
And thou wentestH7788 to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235 thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971 thy messengersH6735 far offH7350, and didst debaseH8213 thyself even unto hellH7585. {thou…: or, thou respectedst}
Thou art weariedH3021 in the greatnessH7230 of thy wayH1870; yet saidstH559 thou not, There is no hopeH2976: thou hast foundH4672 the lifeH2416 of thine handH3027; therefore thou wast not grievedH2470. {life: or, living}
And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672 or fearedH3372, that thou hast liedH3576, and hast not rememberedH2142 me, nor laidH7760 it to thy heartH3820? have not I held my peaceH2814 even of oldH5769, and thou fearestH3372 me not?
I will declareH5046 thy righteousnessH6666, and thy worksH4639; for they shall not profitH3276 thee.
When thou criestH2199, let thy companiesH6899 deliverH5337 thee; but the windH7307 shall carry them all awayH5375; vanityH1892 shall takeH3947 them: but he that putteth his trustH2620 in me shall possessH5157 the landH776, and shall inheritH3423 my holyH6944 mountainH2022;
And shall sayH559, Cast ye upH5549, cast ye upH5549, prepareH6437 the wayH1870, take upH7311 the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971.
For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.
For I will not contendH7378 for everH5769, neither will I be alwaysH5331 wrothH7107: for the spiritH7307 should failH5848 beforeH6440 me, and the soulsH5397 which I have madeH6213.
For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousnessH1215 was I wrothH7107, and smoteH5221 him: I hidH5641 me, and was wrothH7107, and he went onH3212 frowardlyH7726 in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820. {frowardly: Heb. turning away}
I have seenH7200 his waysH1870, and will healH7495 him: I will leadH5148 him also, and restoreH7999 comfortsH5150 unto him and to his mournersH57.
I createH1254 the fruitH5108 of the lipsH8193; PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him that is far offH7350, and to him that is nearH7138, saithH559 the LORDH3068; and I will healH7495 him.
But the wickedH7563 are like the troubledH1644 seaH3220, when it cannotH3201 restH8252, whose watersH4325 cast upH1644 mireH7516 and dirtH2916.
There is no peaceH7965, saithH559 my GodH430, to the wickedH7563.
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781.
The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from whence come the youngH3833 and old lionH3918, the viperH660 and fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young assesH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunchesH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them.
For the EgyptiansH4714 shall helpH5826 in vainH1892, and to no purposeH7385: therefore have I criedH7121 concerning thisH2063, TheirH1992 strengthH7293 is to sit stillH7674. {concerning…: or, to her}
Now goH935, writeH3789 it before them in a tableH3871, and noteH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may be for the timeH3117 to comeH314 forH5704 everH5703 and everH5769: {the…: Heb. the latter day}
That this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lyingH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that willH14 not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068:
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.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and stayH8172 thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
Therefore this iniquityH5771 shall be to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling outH1158 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose breakingH7667 comethH935 suddenlyH6597 at an instantH6621.
And he shall breakH7665 it as the breakingH7667 of the potters'H3335 vesselH5035 that is broken in piecesH3807; he shall not spareH2550: so that there shall not be foundH4672 in the burstingH4386 of it a sherdH2789 to takeH2846 fireH784 from the hearthH3344, or to takeH2834 waterH4325 withal out of the pitH1360. {the potters'…: Heb. the bottle of potters}
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; In returningH7729 and restH5183 shall ye be savedH3467; in quietnessH8252 and in confidenceH985 shall be your strengthH1369: and ye wouldH14 not.
But ye saidH559, No; for we will fleeH5127 upon horsesH5483; therefore shall ye fleeH5127: and, We will rideH7392 upon the swiftH7031; therefore shall they that pursueH7291 you be swiftH7043.
OneH259 thousandH505 shall flee atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of oneH259; atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: till ye be leftH3498 as a beaconH8650 upon the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as an ensignH5251 on an hillH1389. {a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast}
And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 unto you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him.
For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 no moreH1058: he will be veryH2603 graciousH2603 unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2199; when he shall hearH8085 it, he will answerH6030 thee.
And though the LordH136 giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862, and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, yet shall not thy teachersH3384 be removed into a cornerH3670 any more, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachersH3384: {affliction: or, oppression}
And thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in itH3212, when ye turn to the right handH541, and when ye turn to the leftH8041.
Ye shall defileH2930 also the coveringH6826 of thy graven imagesH6456 of silverH3701, and the ornamentH642 of thy molten imagesH4541 of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them awayH2219 as a menstruous clothH1739; thou shalt sayH559 unto it, Get thee henceH3318. {thy graven…: Heb. the graven images of thy silver} {cast: Heb. scatter}
Then shall he giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233, that thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127 withal; and breadH3899 of the increaseH8393 of the earthH127, and it shall be fatH1879 and plenteousH8082: in that dayH3117 shall thy cattleH4735 feedH7462 in largeH7337 pasturesH3733.
The oxenH504 likewise and the young assesH5895 that earH5647 the groundH127 shall eatH398 cleanH2548 provenderH1098, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovelH7371 and with the fanH4214. {clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened}
And there shall be upon every highH1364 mountainH2022, and upon every highH5375 hillH1389, riversH6388 and streamsH2988 of watersH4325 in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. {high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
Moreover the lightH216 of the moonH3842 shall be as the lightH216 of the sunH2535, and the lightH216 of the sunH2535 shall be sevenfoldH7659, as the lightH216 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 bindeth upH2280 the breachH7667 of his peopleH5971, and healethH7495 the strokeH4273 of their woundH4347.
Behold, the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 comethH935 from farH4801, burningH1197 with his angerH639, and the burdenH4858 thereof is heavyH3514: his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 as a devouringH398 fireH784: {burden…: or, grievousness of flame} {heavy: Heb. heaviness}
And his breathH7307, as an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, shall reach to the midstH2673 of the neckH6677, to siftH5130 the nationsH1471 with the sieveH5299 of vanityH7723: and there shall be a bridleH7448 in the jawsH3895 of the peopleH5971, causing them to errH8582.
Ye shall have a songH7892, as in the nightH3915 when a holyH6942 solemnityH2282 is keptH6942; and gladnessH8057 of heartH3824, as when one goethH1980 with a pipeH2485 to comeH935 into the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the mighty OneH6697 of IsraelH3478. {mighty…: Heb. Rock}
And the LORDH3068 shall cause his gloriousH1935 voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and shall shewH7200 the lighting downH5183 of his armH2220, with the indignationH2197 of his angerH639, and with the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784, with scatteringH5311, and tempestH2230, and hailstonesH68+H1259. {his glorious…: Heb. the glory of his voice}
For through the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the AssyrianH804 be beaten downH2865, which smoteH5221 with a rodH7626.
And in every placeH3605 where the groundedH4145 staffH4294 shall passH4569, which the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 upon him, it shall be with tabretsH8596 and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shakingH8573 will he fightH3898 with it. {in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay…: Heb. cause to rest upon him} {with it: or, against them}
For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come. {merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from…: or, from that which is evil}
He shall enterH935 into peaceH7965: they shall restH5117 in their bedsH4904, each one walkingH1980 in his uprightnessH5228. {enter into: or, go in} {in his…: or, before him}
But draw nearH7126 hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceressH6049, the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003 and the whoreH2181.
Against whom do ye sportH6026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wideH7337 mouthH6310, and draw outH748 the tongueH3956? are ye not childrenH3206 of transgressionH6588, a seedH2233 of falsehoodH8267,
EnflamingH2552 yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, slayingH7819 the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cliftsH5585 of the rocksH5553? {with…: or, among the oaks}
Among the smoothH2511 stones of the streamH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: even to them hast thou pouredH8210 a drink offeringH5262, thou hast offeredH5927 a meat offeringH4503. Should I receive comfortH5162 in these?
Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: even thither wentest thou upH5927 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.
BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760 thy remembranceH2146: for thou hast discoveredH1540 thyself to another than me, and art gone upH5927; thou hast enlargedH7337 thy bedH4904, and madeH3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedstH157 their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372 it. {made…: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where…: or, thou providedst room}
And thou wentestH7788 to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235 thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971 thy messengersH6735 far offH7350, and didst debaseH8213 thyself even unto hellH7585. {thou…: or, thou respectedst}
Thou art weariedH3021 in the greatnessH7230 of thy wayH1870; yet saidstH559 thou not, There is no hopeH2976: thou hast foundH4672 the lifeH2416 of thine handH3027; therefore thou wast not grievedH2470. {life: or, living}
And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672 or fearedH3372, that thou hast liedH3576, and hast not rememberedH2142 me, nor laidH7760 it to thy heartH3820? have not I held my peaceH2814 even of oldH5769, and thou fearestH3372 me not?
I will declareH5046 thy righteousnessH6666, and thy worksH4639; for they shall not profitH3276 thee.
When thou criestH2199, let thy companiesH6899 deliverH5337 thee; but the windH7307 shall carry them all awayH5375; vanityH1892 shall takeH3947 them: but he that putteth his trustH2620 in me shall possessH5157 the landH776, and shall inheritH3423 my holyH6944 mountainH2022;
And shall sayH559, Cast ye upH5549, cast ye upH5549, prepareH6437 the wayH1870, take upH7311 the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971.
For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.
For I will not contendH7378 for everH5769, neither will I be alwaysH5331 wrothH7107: for the spiritH7307 should failH5848 beforeH6440 me, and the soulsH5397 which I have madeH6213.
For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousnessH1215 was I wrothH7107, and smoteH5221 him: I hidH5641 me, and was wrothH7107, and he went onH3212 frowardlyH7726 in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820. {frowardly: Heb. turning away}
I have seenH7200 his waysH1870, and will healH7495 him: I will leadH5148 him also, and restoreH7999 comfortsH5150 unto him and to his mournersH57.
I createH1254 the fruitH5108 of the lipsH8193; PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him that is far offH7350, and to him that is nearH7138, saithH559 the LORDH3068; and I will healH7495 him.
But the wickedH7563 are like the troubledH1644 seaH3220, when it cannotH3201 restH8252, whose watersH4325 cast upH1644 mireH7516 and dirtH2916.
There is no peaceH7965, saithH559 my GodH430, to the wickedH7563.
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}
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
Little childrenG3813, it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610: andG2532 asG2531 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 antichristG500 shall comeG2064, evenG2532 nowG3568 are thereG1096 manyG4183 antichristsG500; wherebyG3606 we knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 the lastG2078 timeG5610.
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
BewareG1161+G4337 ofG575 false prophetsG5578, whichG3748 comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 sheep'sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1526 raveningG727 wolvesG3074.
Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG2257: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ'sG5547 steadG5228, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 of muchG4183 peopleG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239; SalvationG4991, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, unto the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316:
ForG3754 trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are hisG846 judgmentsG2920: forG3754 he hath judgedG2919 the greatG3173 whoreG4204, whichG3748 did corruptG5351 the earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 hath avengedG1556 the bloodG129 of hisG846 servantsG1401 atG1537 herG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 againG1208 they saidG2046, AlleluiaG239. AndG2532 herG846 smokeG2586 rose upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 andG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, AmenG281; AlleluiaG239.
AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1831 out ofG1537 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, PraiseG134 ourG2257 GodG2316, all yeG3956 hisG846 servantsG1401, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 himG846, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I heardG191 as it wereG5613 the voiceG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of mightyG2478 thunderingsG1027, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239: forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 omnipotentG3841 reignethG936.
Let us be gladG5463 andG2532 rejoiceG21, andG2532 giveG1325 honourG1391 to himG846: forG3754 the marriageG1062 of the LambG721 is comeG2064, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 hath madeG2090 herselfG1438 readyG2090.
AndG2532 to herG846 was grantedG1325 thatG2443 she should be arrayedG4016 in fine linenG1039, cleanG2513 andG2532 whiteG2986: forG1063 the fine linenG1039 isG2076 the righteousnessG1345 of saintsG40. {white: or, bright}
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, WriteG1125, BlessedG3107 are they which are calledG2564 untoG1519 the marriageG1062 supperG1173 of the LambG721. AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, TheseG3778 areG1526 the trueG228 sayingsG3056 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 I fellG4098 atG1715 hisG846 feetG4228 to worshipG4352 himG846. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto meG3427, SeeG3708 thou do it notG3361: I amG1510 thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, andG2532 of thyG4675 brethrenG80 that haveG2192 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424: worshipG4352 GodG2316: forG1063 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 isG2076 the spiritG4151 of prophecyG4394.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 horseG2462; andG2532 he that satG2521 uponG1909 himG846 was calledG2564 FaithfulG4103 andG2532 TrueG228, andG2532 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 he doth judgeG2919 andG2532 make warG4170.
HisG846 eyesG3788 were asG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776 were manyG4183 crownsG1238; and he hadG2192 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, thatG3739 no manG3762 knewG1492, butG1508 he himselfG846.
AndG2532 he was clothedG4016 with a vestureG2440 dippedG911 in bloodG129: andG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 is calledG2564 The WordG3056 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 the armiesG4753 which wereG3588 inG1722 heavenG3772 followedG190 himG846 uponG1909 whiteG3022 horsesG2462, clothedG1746 in fine linenG1039, whiteG3022 andG2532 cleanG2513.
AndG2532 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750 goethG1607 a sharpG3691 swordG4501, thatG2443 withG1722 itG846 he should smiteG3960 the nationsG1484: andG2532 heG846 shall ruleG4165 themG846 withG1722 a rodG4464 of ironG4603: andG2532 heG846 treadethG3961 the winepressG3025+G3631 of the fiercenessG2372 andG2532 wrathG3709 of AlmightyG3841 GodG2316.
AndG2532 he hathG2192 onG1909 his vestureG2440 andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 thighG3382 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, KINGG935 OF KINGSG935, ANDG2532 LORDG2962 OF LORDSG2962.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 anG1520 angelG32 standingG2476 inG1722 the sunG2246; andG2532 he criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004 to allG3956 the fowlsG3732 that flyG4072 inG1722 the midst of heavenG3321, ComeG1205 andG2532 gather yourselves togetherG4863 untoG1519 the supperG1173 of the greatG3173 GodG2316;
ThatG2443 ye may eatG5315 the fleshG4561 of kingsG935, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of captainsG5506, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of mighty menG2478, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of horsesG2462, andG2532 of them that sitG2521 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of allG3956 men, both freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the beastG2342, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 armiesG4753, gathered togetherG4863 to makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 him that satG2521 onG1909 the horseG2462, andG2532 againstG3326 hisG846 armyG4753.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
AndG2532 the remnantG3062 were slainG615 withG1722 the swordG4501 of him that satG2521 uponG1909 the horseG2462, whichG3588 sword proceededG1607 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750: andG2532 allG3956 the fowlsG3732 were filledG5526 withG1537 theirG846 fleshG4561.
AndG2532 when she hadG2036 soG5023 saidG2036, she went her wayG565, andG2532 calledG5455 MaryG3137 herG846 sisterG79 secretlyG2977, sayingG2036, The MasterG1320 is comeG3918, andG2532 calleth forG5455 theeG4571.
As soon asG5613 sheG1565 heardG191 that, she aroseG1453 quicklyG5035, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
NowG1161 JesusG2424 wasG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064 intoG1519 the townG2968, butG235 wasG2258 inG1722 that placeG5117 whereG3699 MarthaG3136 metG5221 himG846.
NowG1161 a certainG5100 man wasG2258 sickG770, named LazarusG2976, ofG575 BethanyG963+G1537, the townG2968 of MaryG3137 andG2532 herG846 sisterG79 MarthaG3136.
(It wasG2258 that MaryG3137 whichG3588 anointedG218 the LordG2962 with ointmentG3464, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG4228 with herG846 hairG2359, whoseG3739 brotherG80 LazarusG2976 was sickG770.)
ThereforeG3767 his sistersG79 sentG649 untoG4314 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG2396, he whomG3739 thou lovestG5368 is sickG770.
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 heardG191 that, he saidG2036, ThisG3778 sicknessG769 isG2076 notG3756 untoG4314 deathG2288, butG235 forG5228 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, thatG2443 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 might be glorifiedG1392 therebyG1223+G846.
NowG1161 JesusG2424 lovedG25 MarthaG3136, andG2532 herG846 sisterG79, andG2532 LazarusG2976.
WhenG5613 he had heardG191 thereforeG3767 thatG3754 he was sickG770, he abodeG3306 twoG1417 daysG2250 stillG5119+G3303 inG1722 the same placeG5117 whereG3739 he wasG2258.
ThenG1899 afterG3326 thatG5124 saith heG3004 to his disciplesG3101, Let us goG71 intoG1519 JudaeaG2449 againG3825.
His disciplesG3101 sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG4461, the JewsG2453 of lateG3568 soughtG2212 to stoneG3034 theeG4571; andG2532 goest thouG5217 thitherG1563 againG3825?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, Are thereG1526 notG3780 twelveG1427 hoursG5610 in the dayG2250? IfG1437 any manG5100 walkG4043 inG1722 the dayG2250, he stumblethG4350 notG3756, becauseG3754 he seethG991 the lightG5457 of thisG5127 worldG2889.
ButG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 walkG4043 inG1722 the nightG3571, he stumblethG4350, becauseG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 lightG5457 inG1722 himG846.
These thingsG5023 saidG2036 heG846: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5124 he saithG3004 unto themG846, OurG2257 friendG5384 LazarusG2976 sleepethG2837; butG235 I goG4198, thatG2443 I may awakeG1852 himG846 out of sleepG1852.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 hisG846 disciplesG3101, LordG2962, ifG1487 he sleepG2837, he shall do wellG4982.
HowbeitG1161 JesusG2424 spakeG2046 ofG4012 hisG846 deathG2288: butG1161 theyG1565 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 he had spokenG3004 ofG4012 taking of restG2838 in sleepG5258.
ThenG5119+G3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto themG846 plainlyG3954, LazarusG2976 is deadG599.
AndG2532 I am gladG5463 forG1223 your sakesG5209 thatG3754 I wasG2252+G2258 notG3756 thereG1563, to the intentG2443 ye may believeG4100; neverthelessG235 let us goG71 untoG4314 himG846.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 ThomasG2381, whichG3588 is calledG3004 DidymusG1324, unto his fellowdisciplesG4827, Let usG71 alsoG2532 goG71, thatG2443 weG2249 may dieG599 withG3326 himG846.
ThenG3767 when JesusG2424 cameG2064, he foundG2147 that heG846 hadG2192 lain inG1722 the graveG3419 fourG5064 daysG2250 alreadyG2235.
NowG1161 BethanyG963 wasG2258 nighG1451 unto JerusalemG2414, aboutG5613 fifteenG1178 furlongsG4712 offG575: {about…: that is, about two miles}
AndG2532 manyG4183 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 cameG2064 toG4314 MarthaG3136 andG2532 MaryG3137+G4012, toG2443 comfortG3888 themG846 concerningG4012 theirG846 brotherG80.
ThenG3767 MarthaG3136, as soon asG5613 she heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comingG2064, went and metG5221 himG846: butG1161 MaryG3137 satG2516 still inG1722 the houseG3624.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 MarthaG3136 untoG4314 JesusG2424, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG2258 hereG5602, myG3450 brotherG80+G302 hadG2348 notG3756 diedG2348.
ButG235 I knowG1492, that evenG2532 nowG3568, whatsoeverG3754+G3745+G302 thou wilt askG154 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will giveG1325 it theeG4671.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, ThyG4675 brotherG80 shall rise againG450.
MarthaG3136 saithG3004 unto himG846, I knowG1492 thatG3754 he shall rise againG450 inG1722 the resurrectionG386 atG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250.
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto herG846, IG1473 amG1510 the resurrectionG386, andG2532 the lifeG2222: he that believethG4100 inG1519 meG1691, thoughG2579 he were deadG599, yet shall he liveG2198:
AndG2532 whosoeverG3956 livethG2198 andG2532 believethG4100 inG1519 meG1691 shallG599 neverG3364+G1519+G165 dieG599. Believest thouG4100 thisG5124?
She saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962: IG1473 believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whichG3588 should comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 when she hadG2036 soG5023 saidG2036, she went her wayG565, andG2532 calledG5455 MaryG3137 herG846 sisterG79 secretlyG2977, sayingG2036, The MasterG1320 is comeG3918, andG2532 calleth forG5455 theeG4571.
As soon asG5613 sheG1565 heardG191 that, she aroseG1453 quicklyG5035, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
NowG1161 JesusG2424 wasG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064 intoG1519 the townG2968, butG235 wasG2258 inG1722 that placeG5117 whereG3699 MarthaG3136 metG5221 himG846.
The JewsG2453 thenG3767 whichG3588 wereG5607 withG3326 herG846 inG1722 the houseG3614, andG2532 comfortedG3888 herG846, when they sawG1492 MaryG3137, thatG3754 she rose upG450 hastilyG5030 andG2532 went outG1831, followedG190 herG846, sayingG3004+G3754, She goethG5217 untoG1519 the graveG3419 toG2443 weepG2799 thereG1563.
ThenG3767 whenG5613 MaryG3137 was comeG2064 whereG3699 JesusG2424 wasG2258, and sawG1492 himG846, she fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, sayingG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG2258 hereG5602, myG3450 brotherG80 hadG302 notG3756 diedG599.
WhenG5613 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sawG1492 herG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 the JewsG2453 also weepingG2799 which cameG4905 with herG846, he groanedG1690 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 was troubledG5015+G1438, {was troubled: Gr. he troubled himself}
AndG2532 saidG2036, WhereG4226 have ye laidG5087 himG846? They saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, comeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492.
ThenG3767 saidG3004 the JewsG2453, BeholdG2396 howG4459 he lovedG5368 himG846!
AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 saidG2036, CouldG1410 notG3756 this manG3778, whichG3588 openedG455 the eyesG3788 of the blindG5185, have causedG4160 thatG2443 evenG2532 this manG3778 shouldG599 notG3361 have diedG599?
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 againG3825 groaningG1690 inG1722 himselfG1438 comethG2064 toG1519 the graveG3419+G1161. It wasG2258 a caveG4693, andG2532 a stoneG3037 layG1945 uponG1909 itG846.
JesusG2424 saidG3004, Take ye awayG142 the stoneG3037. MarthaG3136, the sisterG79 of him that was deadG2348, saithG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, by this timeG2235 he stinkethG3605: forG1063 he hath beenG2076 dead four daysG5066.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, Said IG2036 notG3756 unto theeG4671, thatG3754, ifG1437 thou wouldest believeG4100, thou shouldest seeG3700 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316?
ThenG3767 they took awayG142 the stoneG3037 from the place whereG3757 the deadG2348 wasG2258 laidG2749. AndG1161 JesusG2424 liftedG142 upG507 his eyesG3788, andG2532 saidG2036, FatherG3962, I thankG2168 theeG4671 thatG3754 thou hast heardG191 meG3450.
AndG1161 IG1473 knewG1492 thatG3754 thou hearestG191 meG3450 alwaysG3842: butG235 becauseG1223 of the peopleG3793 whichG3588 stand byG4026 I saidG2036 it, thatG2443 they may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
AndG2532 when he thusG5023 had spokenG2036, he criedG2905 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, LazarusG2976, comeG1204 forthG1854.
AndG2532 he that was deadG2348 came forthG1831, boundG1210 handG5495 andG2532 footG4228 with graveclothesG2750: andG2532 hisG846 faceG3799 was bound aboutG4019 with a napkinG4676. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, LooseG3089 himG846, andG2532 let himG863 goG5217.
ThenG3767 manyG4183 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 whichG3588 cameG2064 toG4314 MaryG3137, andG2532 had seenG2300 the things whichG3739 JesusG2424 didG4160, believedG4100 onG1519 himG846.
ButG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 went their waysG565 toG4314 the PhariseesG5330, andG2532 toldG2036 themG846 what thingsG3739 JesusG2424 had doneG4160.
ThenG3767 gatheredG4863 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 a councilG4892, andG2532 saidG3004, WhatG5101 do weG4160? forG3754 thisG3778 manG444 doethG4160 manyG4183 miraclesG4592.
IfG1437 we letG863 himG846 thusG3779 aloneG863, allG3956 men will believeG4100 onG1519 himG846: andG2532 the RomansG4514 shall comeG2064 andG2532 take awayG142 bothG2532 ourG2257 placeG5117 andG2532 nationG1484.
AndG1161 oneG1520+G5100 ofG1537 themG846, named CaiaphasG2533, beingG5607 the high priestG749 that sameG1565 yearG1763, saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 knowG1492 nothing at allG3756+G3762,
NorG3761 considerG1260 thatG3754 it is expedientG4851 for usG2254, thatG2443 oneG1520 manG444 should dieG599 forG5228 the peopleG2992, andG2532 that the wholeG3650 nationG1484 perishG622 notG3361.
AndG1161 thisG5124 spake heG2036 notG3756 ofG575 himselfG1438: butG235 beingG5607 high priestG749 thatG1565 yearG1763, he prophesiedG4395 thatG3754 JesusG2424 shouldG3195 dieG599 for thatG5228 nationG1484;
AndG2532 notG3756 for thatG5228 nationG1484 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG2443 alsoG2532 he should gather togetherG4863 inG1519 oneG1520 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316 that were scattered abroadG1287.
ThenG3767 fromG575 thatG1565 dayG2250 forth they took counsel togetherG4823 for toG2443 putG615 himG846 to deathG615.
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 walkedG4043 no moreG3765 openlyG3954 amongG1722 the JewsG2453; butG235 wentG565 thenceG1564 untoG1519 a countryG5561 nearG1451 to the wildernessG2048, intoG1519 a cityG4172 calledG3004 EphraimG2187, and thereG2546 continuedG1304 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3101.
AndG1161 the Jews'G2453 passoverG3957 wasG2258 nigh at handG1451: andG2532 manyG4183 wentG305 out ofG1537 the countryG5561 upG1519 to JerusalemG2414 beforeG4253 the passoverG3957, toG2443 purifyG48 themselvesG1438.
ThenG3767 sought they forG2212 JesusG2424, andG2532 spakeG3004 amongG3326 themselvesG240, as they stoodG2476 inG1722 the templeG2411, WhatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213, thatG3754 he willG2064 notG3364 comeG2064 toG1519 the feastG1859?
NowG1161 bothG2532 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 had givenG1325 a commandmentG1785, thatG2443, ifG1437 any manG5100 knewG1097 whereG4226 he wereG2076, he should shewG3377 it, thatG3704 they might takeG4084 himG846.
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}
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
AndG2532 cameG1831 out ofG1537 the gravesG3419 afterG3326 hisG846 resurrectionG1454, and wentG1525 intoG1519 the holyG40 cityG4172, andG2532 appearedG1718 unto manyG4183.
