The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning EdomH123; We have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 among the heathenH1471, AriseH6965 ye, and let us rise upH6965 against her in battleH4421.
Behold, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471: thou art greatlyH3966 despisedH959.
The prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceivedH5377 thee, thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, whose habitationH3427 is highH4791; that saithH559 in his heartH3820, Who shall bring me downH3381 to the groundH776?
Though thou exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, thence will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
If thievesH1590 cameH935 to thee, if robbersH7703 by nightH3915, (how art thou cut offH1820!) would they not have stolenH1589 till they had enoughH1767? if the grapegatherersH1219 cameH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some grapesH5955? {some…: or, gleanings?}
How are the things of EsauH6215 searched outH2664! how are his hiddenH4710 things sought upH1158!
All the menH582 of thy confederacyH1285 have broughtH7971 thee even to the borderH1366: the menH582 that were at peaceH7965 with thee have deceivedH5377 thee, and prevailedH3201 against thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 have laidH7760 a woundH4204 under thee: there is none understandingH8394 in him. {that were…: Heb. of thy peace} {they…: Heb. the men of thy bread} {in him: or, of it}
Shall I not in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, even destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215?
And thy mightyH1368 men, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that every oneH376 of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215 may be cut offH3772 by slaughterH6993.
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {spoken…: Heb. magnified thy mouth}
Thou shouldest not have enteredH935 into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on their afflictionH7451 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have laidH7971 hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; {substance: or, forces}
Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {delivered up: or, shut up}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 upon all the heathenH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee: thy rewardH1576 shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218.
For as ye have drunkH8354 upon my holyH6944 mountainH2022, so shall all the heathenH1471 drinkH8354 continuallyH8548, yea, they shall drinkH8354, and they shall swallow downH3886, and they shall be as though they had notH3808 been. {swallow…: or, sup up}
But upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 shall be deliveranceH6413, and there shall be holinessH6944; and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall possessH3423 their possessionsH4180. {deliverance: or, they that escape} {there…: or, it shall be holy}
And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall be a fireH784, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852, and the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 for stubbleH7179, and they shall kindleH1814 in them, and devourH398 them; and there shall not be any remainingH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
And they of the southH5045 shall possessH3423 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and they of the plainH8219 the PhilistinesH6430: and they shall possessH3423 the fieldsH7704 of EphraimH669, and the fieldsH7704 of SamariaH8111: and BenjaminH1144 shall possess GileadH1568.
And the captivityH1546 of this hostH2426 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall possess that of the CanaanitesH3669, even unto ZarephathH6886; and the captivityH1546 of JerusalemH3389, which is in SepharadH5614, shall possessH3423 the citiesH5892 of the southH5045. {which…: or, shall possess that which is in}
And savioursH3467 shall come upH5927 on mountH2022 ZionH6726 to judgeH8199 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and the kingdomH4410 shall be the LORD'SH3068.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of EsauH6215, who is EdomH123.
EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667; AdahH5711 the daughterH1323 of ElonH356 the HittiteH2850, and AholibamahH173 the daughterH1323 of AnahH6034 the daughterH1323 of ZibeonH6649 the HiviteH2340;
And BashemathH1315 Ishmael'sH3458 daughterH1323, sisterH269 of NebajothH5032.
And AdahH5711 bareH3205 to EsauH6215 EliphazH464; and BashemathH1315 bareH3205 ReuelH7467;
And AholibamahH173 bareH3205 JeushH3274, and JaalamH3281, and KorahH7141: these are the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215, which were bornH3205 unto him in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And EsauH6215 tookH3947 his wivesH802, and his sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323, and all the personsH5315 of his houseH1004, and his cattleH4735, and all his beastsH929, and all his substanceH7075, which he had gotH7408 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and wentH3212 into the countryH776 from the faceH6440 of his brotherH251 JacobH3290. {persons: Heb. souls}
For their richesH7399 were moreH7227 than that they might dwellH3427 togetherH3162; and the landH776 wherein they were strangersH4033 couldH3201 not bearH5375 them becauseH6440 of their cattleH4735.
Thus dweltH3427 EsauH6215 in mountH2022 SeirH8165: EsauH6215 is EdomH123.
And these are the generationsH8435 of EsauH6215 the fatherH1 of the EdomitesH123 in mountH2022 SeirH8165: {the Edomites: Heb. Edom}

And these are the childrenH1121 of ZibeonH6649; both AjahH345, and AnahH6034: this was that AnahH6034 that foundH4672 the mulesH3222 in the wildernessH4057, as he fedH7462 the assesH2543 of ZibeonH6649 his fatherH1.

ThenH227 the dukesH441 of EdomH123 shall be amazedH926; the mighty menH352 of MoabH4124, tremblingH7461 shall take holdH270 upon them; all the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 shall melt awayH4127.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from KadeshH6946 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, Thus saithH559 thy brotherH251 IsraelH3478, Thou knowestH3045 all the travailH8513 that hath befallenH4672 us: {befallen…: Heb. found us}
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall be the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5920; {the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
As he didH6213 to the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215, which dweltH3427 in SeirH8165, when he destroyedH8045 the HorimsH2752 from beforeH6440 them; and they succeededH3423 them, and dweltH3427 in their stead even unto this dayH3117:
Come nearH7126, ye nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816: let the earthH776 hearH8085, and all that is thereinH4393; the worldH8398, and all things that come forthH6631 of it. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignationH7110 of the LORDH3068 is upon all nationsH1471, and his furyH2534 upon all their armiesH6635: he hath utterly destroyedH2763 them, he hath deliveredH5414 them to the slaughterH2874.
Their slainH2491 also shall be cast outH7993, and their stinkH889 shall come upH5927 out of their carcasesH6297, and the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549 with their bloodH1818.
And all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 shall be dissolvedH4743, and the heavensH8064 shall be rolled togetherH1556 as a scrollH5612: and all their hostH6635 shall fall downH5034, as the leafH5929 falleth offH5034 from the vineH1612, and as a fallingH5034 fig from the fig treeH8384.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
And the unicornsH7214 shall come downH3381 with them, and the bullocksH6499 with the bullsH47; and their landH776 shall be soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459. {unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197 pitchH2203.
It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927 for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717; none shall pass throughH5674 it for everH5331 and everH5331.
But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423 it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 in it: and he shall stretch outH5186 upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922. {cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall callH7121 the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927 in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall also meetH6298 with the wild beasts of the islandH338, and the satyrH8163 shall cryH7121 to his fellowH7453; the screech owlH3917 also shall restH7280 there, and findH4672 for herself a place of restH4494. {The wild…desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild…island: Heb. Ijim} {screech…: or, night monster}
There shall the great owlH7091 make her nestH7077, and layH4422, and hatchH1234, and gatherH1716 under her shadowH6738: there shall the vulturesH1772 also be gatheredH6908, every oneH802 with her mateH7468.
Seek ye outH1875 of the bookH5612 of the LORDH3068, and readH7121: no oneH259 of theseH2007 shall failH5737, noneH802 shall wantH6485 her mateH7468: for my mouthH6310 it hath commandedH6680, and his spiritH7307 it hath gatheredH6908 them.
And he hath castH5307 the lotH1486 for them, and his handH3027 hath dividedH2505 it unto them by lineH6957: they shall possessH3423 it forH5704 everH5769, from generationH1755 to generationH1755 shall they dwellH7931 therein.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 an angelG32 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, havingG2192 the keyG2807 of the bottomless pitG12 andG2532 a greatG3173 chainG254 inG1909 hisG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 he laid hold onG2902 the dragonG1404, that oldG744 serpentG3789, whichG3739 isG2076 the DevilG1228, andG2532 SatanG4567, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094,
AndG2532 castG906 himG846 intoG1519 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 shutG2808 himG846 upG2808, andG2532 set a sealG4972 uponG1883 himG846, thatG3363 he should deceiveG4105 the nationsG1484 noG3363 moreG2089, tillG891 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 should be fulfilledG5055: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 heG846 mustG1163 be loosedG3089 a littleG3398 seasonG5550.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 thronesG2362, andG2532 they satG2523 uponG1909 themG846, andG2532 judgmentG2917 was givenG1325 unto themG846: andG2532 I saw the soulsG5590 of them that were beheadedG3990 forG1223 the witnessG3141 of JesusG2424, andG2532 forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 whichG3748 hadG4352 notG3756 worshippedG4352 the beastG2342, neitherG3777 hisG846 imageG1504+G2532, neitherG3756 had receivedG2983 his markG5480 uponG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359, orG2532 inG1909 theirG846 handsG5495; andG2532 they livedG2198 andG2532 reignedG936 withG3326 ChristG5547 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
ButG1161 the restG3062 of the deadG3498 livedG326 notG3756 againG326 untilG2193 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 were finishedG5055. ThisG3778 is the firstG4413 resurrectionG386.
BlessedG3107 andG2532 holyG40 is he that hathG2192 partG3313 inG1722 the firstG4413 resurrectionG386: onG1909 suchG5130 the secondG1208 deathG2288 hathG2192 noG3756 powerG1849, butG235 they shall beG2071 priestsG2409 of GodG2316 andG2532 of ChristG5547, andG2532 shall reignG936 withG3326 himG846 a thousandG5507 yearsG2094.
AndG2532 whenG3752 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 are expiredG5055, SatanG4567 shall be loosedG3089 out ofG1537 hisG846 prisonG5438,
AndG2532 shall go outG1831 to deceiveG4105 the nationsG1484 whichG3588 are inG1722 the fourG5064 quartersG1137 of the earthG1093, GogG1136 andG2532 MagogG3098, to gatherG4863 themG846 togetherG4863 toG1519 battleG4171: the numberG706 of whomG3739 is asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281.
AndG2532 they went upG305 onG1909 the breadthG4114 of the earthG1093, andG2532 compassedG2944 the campG3925 of the saintsG40 aboutG2944, andG2532 the belovedG25 cityG4172: andG2532 fireG4442 came downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846.
AndG2532 the devilG1228 that deceivedG4105 themG846 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303, whereG3699 the beastG2342 andG2532 the false prophetG5578 are, andG2532 shall be tormentedG928 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a greatG3173 whiteG3022 throneG2362, andG2532 him that satG2521 onG1909 itG846, fromG575 whoseG3739 faceG4383 the earthG1093 andG2532 the heavenG3772 fled awayG5343; andG2532 there was foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 for themG846.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the deadG3498, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, standG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316; andG2532 the booksG975 were openedG455: andG2532 anotherG243 bookG975 was openedG455, whichG3739 isG2076 the book of lifeG2222: andG2532 the deadG3498 were judgedG2919 out ofG1537 those things which were writtenG1125 inG1722 the booksG975, according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 the seaG2281 gave upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 itG846; andG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 delivered upG1325 the deadG3498 whichG3588 were inG1722 themG846: andG2532 they were judgedG2919 every manG1538 according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041. {hell: or, the grave}
AndG2532 deathG2288 andG2532 hellG86 were castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442. ThisG3778 isG2076 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
AndG2532 whosoeverG1536 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of lifeG2222 was castG906 intoG1519 the lakeG3041 of fireG4442.
The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797 for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523, and blossomH6524 as the roseH2261.
It shall blossomH6524 abundantlyH6524, and rejoiceH1523 even with joyH1525 and singingH7444: the gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall be givenH5414 unto it, the excellencyH1926 of CarmelH3760 and SharonH8289, they shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, and the excellencyH1926 of our GodH430.
StrengthenH2388 ye the weakH7504 handsH3027, and confirmH553 the feebleH3782 kneesH1290.
SayH559 to them that are of a fearfulH4116 heartH3820, Be strongH2388, fearH3372 not: behold, your GodH430 will comeH935 with vengeanceH5359, even GodH430 with a recompenceH1576; he will comeH935 and saveH3467 you. {fearful: Heb. hasty}
Then the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall be openedH6491, and the earsH241 of the deafH2795 shall be unstoppedH6605.
Then shall the lameH6455 man leapH1801 as an hartH354, and the tongueH3956 of the dumbH483 singH7442: for in the wildernessH4057 shall watersH4325 break outH1234, and streamsH5158 in the desertH6160.
And the parched groundH8273 shall become a poolH98, and the thirsty landH6774 springsH4002 of waterH4325: in the habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, where each layH7258, shall be grassH2682 with reedsH7070 and rushesH1573. {grass…: or, a court for reeds, etc}
And an highwayH4547 shall be there, and a wayH1870, and it shall be calledH7121 The wayH1870 of holinessH6944; the uncleanH2931 shall not pass overH5674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring menH1980, though foolsH191, shall not errH8582 therein. {but…: or, for he shall be with them}
No lionH738 shall be there, nor any ravenousH6530 beastH2416 shall go upH5927 thereon, it shall not be foundH4672 there; but the redeemedH1350 shall walkH1980 there:
And the ransomedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 to ZionH6726 with songsH7440 and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 upon their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381 joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall flee awayH5127.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797 for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523, and blossomH6524 as the roseH2261.
InG1722 the midstG3319 of the streetG4113 of itG846, andG2532 on eitherG2532 sideG1782 of the riverG4215, was there the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, which bareG4160 twelveG1427 manner of fruitsG2590, and yieldedG591 herG846 fruitG2590 everyG2596+G1538+G1520 monthG3376: andG2532 the leavesG5444 of the treeG3586 were forG1519 the healingG2322 of the nationsG1484.
Afterward he brought me againH7725 unto the doorH6607 of the houseH1004; and, behold, watersH4325 issued outH3318 from under the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6921: for the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004 stood toward the eastH6921, and the watersH4325 came downH3381 from under from the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, at the southH5045 side of the altarH4196.
Then brought he me outH3318 of the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 northwardH6828, and led me aboutH5437 the wayH1870 without unto the utterH2351 gateH8179 by the wayH1870 that lookethH6437 eastwardH6921; and, behold, there ran outH6379 watersH4325 on the rightH3233 sideH3802.
And when the manH376 that had the lineH6957 in his handH3027 went forthH3318 eastwardH6921, he measuredH4058 a thousandH505 cubitsH520, and he brought me throughH5674 the watersH4325; the watersH4325 were to the anklesH657. {the waters were…: Heb. waters of the ankles}
Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and brought me throughH5674 the watersH4325; the watersH4325 were to the kneesH1290. Again he measuredH4058 a thousandH505, and brought me throughH5674; the watersH4325 were to the loinsH4975.
Afterward he measuredH4058 a thousandH505; and it was a riverH5158 that I couldH3201 not pass overH5674: for the watersH4325 were risenH1342, watersH4325 to swim inH7813, a riverH5158 that could not be passed overH5674. {waters to…: Heb. waters of swimming}
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 this? Then he broughtH3212 me, and caused me to returnH7725 to the brinkH8193 of the riverH5158.
Now when I had returnedH7725, behold, at the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 were veryH3966 manyH7227 treesH6086 on the one side and on the other. {bank: Heb. lip}
Then saidH559 he unto me, These watersH4325 issue outH3318 toward the eastH6930 countryH1552, and go downH3381 into the desertH6160, and goH935 into the seaH3220: which being brought forthH3318 into the seaH3220, the watersH4325 shall be healedH7495. {desert: or, plain}
And it shall come to pass, that every thingH5315 that livethH2416, which movethH8317, whithersoever the riversH5158 shall comeH935, shall liveH2421: and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH7227 multitude of fishH1710, because these watersH4325 shall comeH935 thither: for they shall be healedH7495; and every thing shall liveH2425 whither the riverH5158 comethH935. {rivers: Heb. two rivers}
And it shall come to pass, that the fishersH1728 shall standH5975+H5975 upon it from EngediH5872 even unto EneglaimH5882; they shall be a place to spread forthH4894 netsH2764; their fishH1710 shall be according to their kindsH4327, as the fishH1710 of the greatH1419 seaH3220, exceedingH3966 manyH7227.
But the miry placesH1207 thereof and the marishesH1360 thereof shall not be healedH7495; they shall be givenH5414 to saltH4417. {shall not…: or, and that which shall not be healed}
And by the riverH5158 upon the bankH8193 thereof, on this side and on that side, shall growH5927 all treesH6086 for meatH3978, whose leafH5929 shall not fadeH5034, neither shall the fruitH6529 thereof be consumedH8552: it shall bring forth new fruitH1069 according to his monthsH2320, because their watersH4325 they issued outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720: and the fruitH6529 thereof shall be for meatH3978, and the leafH5929 thereof for medicineH8644. {shall grow: Heb. shall come up} {new: or, principal} {for medicine: or, for bruises and sores}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; ThisH1454 shall be the borderH1366, whereby ye shall inheritH5157 the landH776 according to the twelveH8147+H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: JosephH3130 shall have two portionsH2256.
And ye shall inheritH5157 it, oneH376 as well as anotherH251: concerning the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it unto your fathersH1: and this landH776 shall fallH5307 unto you for inheritanceH5159. {lifted…: or, swore}
And this shall be the borderH1366 of the landH776 toward the northH6828 sideH6285, from the greatH1419 seaH3220, the wayH1870 of HethlonH2855, as men goH935 to ZedadH6657;
HamathH2574, BerothahH1268, SibraimH5453, which is between the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834 and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574; HazarhatticonH2694, which is by the coastH1366 of HauranH2362. {Hazarhatticon: or, the middle village}
And the borderH1366 from the seaH3220 shall be HazarenanH2703, the borderH1366 of DamascusH1834, and the northH6828 northwardH6828, and the borderH1366 of HamathH2574. And this is the northH6828 sideH6285.
And the eastH6921 sideH6285 ye shall measureH4058 fromH996 HauranH2362, and fromH996 DamascusH1834, and fromH996 GileadH1568, and fromH996 the landH776 of IsraelH3478 by JordanH3383, from the borderH1366 unto the eastH6931 seaH3220. And this is the eastH6921 sideH6285. {from (Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, the land): Heb. from between}
And the southH5045 sideH6285 southwardH8486, from TamarH8559 even to the watersH4325 of strifeH4808+H4809 in KadeshH6946, the riverH5158 to the greatH1419 seaH3220. And this is the southH8486 sideH6285 southwardH5045. {strife: or, Meribah} {river: or, valley} {is the south side southward: or, is the south side toward Teman}
The westH3220 sideH6285 also shall be the greatH1419 seaH3220 from the borderH1366, till a man comeH935 over againstH5227 HamathH2574. This is the westH3220 sideH6285.
So shall ye divideH2505 this landH776 unto you according to the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divideH5307 it by lot for an inheritanceH5159 unto you, and to the strangersH1616 that sojournH1481 amongH8432 you, which shall begetH3205 childrenH1121 amongH8432 you: and they shall be unto you as bornH249 in the countryH249 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; they shall haveH5307 inheritanceH5159 with you amongH8432 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribeH7626 the strangerH1616 sojournethH1481, there shall ye giveH5414 him his inheritanceH5159, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
There shall be no more thence an infantH5764 of daysH3117, nor an old manH2205 that hath not filledH4390 his daysH3117: for the childH5288 shall dieH4191 an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121; but the sinnerH2398 being an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shall be accursedH7043.
And they shall go forthH3318, and lookH7200 upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586 against me: for their wormH8438 shall not dieH4191, neither shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all fleshH1320.
And it shall be, that whoso will not come upH5927 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 unto JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, even upon them shall be no rainH1653.
And if the familyH4940 of EgyptH4714 go not upH5927, and comeH935 not, that have no rain; there shall be the plagueH4046, wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 the heathenH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {that have no: Heb. upon whom there is not}
This shall be the punishmentH2403 of EgyptH4714, and the punishmentH2403 of all nationsH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {punishment: or, sin}
AndG2532 whenG3752 the thousandG5507 yearsG2094 are expiredG5055, SatanG4567 shall be loosedG3089 out ofG1537 hisG846 prisonG5438,
AndG2532 shall go outG1831 to deceiveG4105 the nationsG1484 whichG3588 are inG1722 the fourG5064 quartersG1137 of the earthG1093, GogG1136 andG2532 MagogG3098, to gatherG4863 themG846 togetherG4863 toG1519 battleG4171: the numberG706 of whomG3739 is asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281.
AndG2532 they went upG305 onG1909 the breadthG4114 of the earthG1093, andG2532 compassedG2944 the campG3925 of the saintsG40 aboutG2944, andG2532 the belovedG25 cityG4172: andG2532 fireG4442 came downG2597 fromG575 GodG2316 out ofG1537 heavenG3772, andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846.
Who is this that comethH935 from EdomH123, with dyedH2556 garmentsH899 from BozrahH1224? this that is gloriousH1921 in his apparelH3830, travellingH6808 in the greatnessH7230 of his strengthH3581? I that speakH1696 in righteousnessH6666, mightyH7227 to saveH3467. {glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore art thou redH122 in thine apparelH3830, and thy garmentsH899 like him that treadethH1869 in the winefatH1660?
I have troddenH1869 the winepressH6333 alone; and of the peopleH5971 there was noneH376 with me: for I will treadH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampleH7429 them in my furyH2534; and their bloodH5332 shall be sprinkledH5137 upon my garmentsH899, and I will stainH1351 all my raimentH4403.
For the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 is in mine heartH3820, and the yearH8141 of my redeemedH1350 is comeH935.
And I lookedH5027, and there was none to helpH5826; and I wonderedH8074 that there was none to upholdH5564: therefore mine own armH2220 brought salvationH3467 unto me; and my furyH2534, it upheldH5564 me.
And I will tread downH947 the peopleH5971 in mine angerH639, and make them drunkH7937 in my furyH2534, and I will bring downH3381 their strengthH5332 to the earthH776.
I will mentionH2142 the lovingkindnessesH2617 of the LORDH3068, and the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, according to all that the LORDH3068 hath bestowedH1580 on us, and the greatH7227 goodnessH2898 toward the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which he hath bestowedH1580 on them according to his merciesH7356, and according to the multitudeH7230 of his lovingkindnessesH2617.
For he saidH559, Surely they are my peopleH5971, childrenH1121 that will not lieH8266: so he was their SaviourH3467.
In all their afflictionH6869 he was afflictedH6862, and the angelH4397 of his presenceH6440 savedH3467 them: in his loveH160 and in his pityH2551 he redeemedH1350 them; and he bareH5190 them, and carriedH5375 them all the daysH3117 of oldH5769.
But they rebelledH4784, and vexedH6087 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307: therefore he was turnedH2015 to be their enemyH341, and he foughtH3898 against them.
Then he rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, MosesH4872, and his peopleH5971, saying, Where is he that brought them upH5927 out of the seaH3220 with the shepherdH7462 of his flockH6629? where is he that putH7760 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307 withinH7130 him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}
That ledH3212 them by the right handH3225 of MosesH4872 with his gloriousH8597 armH2220, dividingH1234 the waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, to makeH6213 himself an everlastingH5769 nameH8034?
That ledH3212 them through the deepH8415, as an horseH5483 in the wildernessH4057, that they should not stumbleH3782?
As a beastH929 goeth downH3381 into the valleyH1237, the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 caused him to restH5117: so didst thou leadH5090 thy peopleH5971, to makeH6213 thyself a gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
Look downH5027 from heavenH8064, and beholdH7200 from the habitationH2073 of thy holinessH6944 and of thy gloryH8597: where is thy zealH7068 and thy strengthH1369, the soundingH1995 of thy bowelsH4578 and of thy merciesH7356 toward me? are they restrainedH662? {the sounding: or, the multitude}
DoubtlessH3588 thou art our fatherH1, though AbrahamH85 be ignorantH3808+H3045 of us, and IsraelH3478 acknowledgeH5234 us not: thou, O LORDH3068, art our fatherH1, our redeemerH1350; thy nameH8034 is from everlastingH5769. {our redeemer…: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name}
O LORDH3068, why hast thou made us to errH8582 from thy waysH1870, and hardenedH7188 our heartH3820 from thy fearH3374? ReturnH7725 for thy servants'H5650 sake, the tribesH7626 of thine inheritanceH5159.
The peopleH5971 of thy holinessH6944 have possessedH3423 it but a little whileH4705: our adversariesH6862 have trodden downH947 thy sanctuaryH4720.
We are thine: thou neverH5769 barest ruleH4910 over them; they were not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
FleeH5127 ye, turn backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 upon him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him. {turn…: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherersH1219 comeH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaning grapesH5955? if thievesH1590 by nightH3915, they will destroyH7843 till they have enoughH1767. {till…: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his secret placesH4565, and he shall not be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himself: his seedH2233 is spoiledH7703, and his brethrenH251, and his neighboursH7934, and he is not.
LeaveH5800 thy fatherless childrenH3490, I will preserve them aliveH2421; and let thy widowsH490 trustH982 in me.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, they whose judgmentH4941 was not to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 have assuredlyH8354 drunkenH8354; and art thou he that shall altogetherH5352 go unpunishedH5352? thou shalt not go unpunishedH5352, but thou shalt surelyH8354 drinkH8354 of it.
For I have swornH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall become a desolationH8047, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2721, and a curseH7045; and all the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723.
I have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 unto the heathenH1471, saying, Gather ye togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and rise upH6965 to the battleH4421.
For, lo, I will makeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120.
Thy terriblenessH8606 hath deceivedH5377 thee, and the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820, O thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdestH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: though thou shouldest make thy nestH7064 as highH1361 as the eagleH5404, I will bring thee downH3381 from thence, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Also EdomH123 shall be a desolationH8047: every one that goethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH559 the LORDH3068, no manH376 shall abideH3427 there, neither shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 against the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will suddenlyH7280 make him run awayH7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hearH8085 the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against EdomH123; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationsH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
The earthH776 is movedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their fallH5307, at the cryH6818 the noiseH6963 thereof was heardH8085 in the RedH5488 seaH3220. {Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 and flyH1675 as the eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over BozrahH1224: and at that dayH3117 shall the heartH3820 of the mighty menH1368 of EdomH123 be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887.
AndG2532 there followedG190 anotherG243 angelG32, sayingG3004, BabylonG897 is fallenG4098, is fallenG4098, that greatG3173 cityG4172, becauseG3754 she madeG4222 allG3956 nationsG1484 drinkG4222 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of herG846 fornicationG4202.
AndG2532 the greatG3173 cityG4172 was dividedG1096 intoG1519 threeG5140 partsG3313, andG2532 the citiesG4172 of the nationsG1484 fellG4098: andG2532 greatG3173 BabylonG897 came in remembranceG3415 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to giveG1325 unto herG846 the cupG4221 of the wineG3631 of the fiercenessG2372 of hisG846 wrathG3709.
With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 will learnH3925 righteousnessH6664.
The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, who was among the herdmenH5349 of TekoaH8620, which he sawH2372 concerning IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, two yearsH8141 beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494.
And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 will roarH7580 from ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the habitationsH4999 of the shepherdsH7462 shall mournH56, and the topH7218 of CarmelH3760 shall witherH3001.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with threshing instrumentsH2742 of ironH1270: {and…: or, yea, for four} {turn…: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 into the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BenhadadH1130.
I will breakH7665 also the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from the plainH1237 of AvenH206, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from the houseH1004 of EdenH5731+H1040: and the peopleH5971 of SyriaH758 shall go into captivityH1540 unto KirH7024, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {the plain…: or, Bikathaven} {the house…: or, Betheden}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried away captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546, to deliver them upH5462 to EdomH123: {away captive…: or, them away with an entire}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof:
And I will cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from AshkelonH831, and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 against EkronH6138: and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyrusH6865, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they delivered upH5462 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546 to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherlyH251 covenantH1285: {the brotherly…: Heb. the covenant of brethren}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyrusH6865, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast offH7843 all pityH7356, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetuallyH5703, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5331: {did cast…: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon TemanH8487, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BozrahH1224.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have ripped upH1234 the women with childH2030 of GileadH1568, that they might enlargeH7337 their borderH1366: {ripped…: or, divided the mountains}
But I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of RabbahH7237, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof, with shoutingH8643 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, with a tempestH5591 in the dayH3117 of the whirlwindH5492:
And their kingH4428 shall goH1980 into captivityH1473, he and his princesH8269 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of KeriothH7152: and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumultH7588, with shoutingH8643, and with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782:
And I will cut offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 all the princesH8269 thereof with him, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have despisedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have not keptH8104 his commandmentsH2706, and their liesH3577 caused them to errH8582, afterH310 the which their fathersH1 have walkedH1980:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon JudahH3063, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in unto the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: {maid: or, young woman}
And they lay themselves downH5186 upon clothesH899 laid to pledgeH2254 byH681 every altarH4196, and they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of the condemnedH6064 in the houseH1004 of their godH430. {the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}
Yet destroyedH8045 I the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whose heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from aboveH4605, and his rootsH8328 from beneath.
Also I brought you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and ledH3212 you fortyH705 yearsH8141 through the wildernessH4057, to possessH3423 the landH776 of the AmoriteH567.
And I raised upH6965 of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your young menH970 for NazaritesH5139. Is it not even thus, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But ye gave the NazaritesH5139 wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not.
Behold, I am pressedH5781 under you, as a cartH5699 is pressedH5781 that is fullH4392 of sheavesH5995. {I am…: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth}
Therefore the flightH4498 shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall not strengthenH553 his forceH3581, neither shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: {himself: Heb. his soul, or, life}
Neither shall he standH5975 that handlethH8610 the bowH7198; and he that is swiftH7031 of footH7272 shall not deliverH4422 himself: neither shall he that ridethH7392 the horseH5483 deliverH4422 himselfH5315.
And he that is courageousH533+H3820 among the mightyH1368 shall flee awayH5127 nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {courageous: Heb. strong of his heart}
I am soughtH1875 of them that askedH7592 notH3808 for me; I am foundH4672 of them that soughtH1245 me notH3808: I saidH559, Behold me, behold me, unto a nationH1471 that was not calledH7121 by my nameH8034.
I have spread outH6566 my handsH3027 all the dayH3117 unto a rebelliousH5637 peopleH5971, which walkethH1980 in a wayH1870 that was not goodH2896, afterH310 their own thoughtsH4284;
A peopleH5971 that provoketh me to angerH3707 continuallyH8548 to my faceH6440; that sacrificethH2076 in gardensH1593, and burneth incenseH6999 upon altars of brickH3843; {upon…: Heb. upon bricks}
Which remainH3427 among the gravesH6913, and lodgeH3885 in the monumentsH5341, which eatH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and brothH4839+H6564 of abominableH6292 things is in their vesselsH3627; {broth: or, pieces}
Which sayH559, StandH7126 by thyself, come not nearH5066 to me; for I am holierH6942 than thou. These are a smokeH6227 in my noseH639, a fireH784 that burnethH3344 all the dayH3117. {nose: or, anger}
Behold, it is writtenH3789 beforeH6440 me: I will not keep silenceH2814, but will recompenseH7999, even recompenseH7999 into their bosomH2436,
Your iniquitiesH5771, and the iniquitiesH5771 of your fathersH1 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068, which have burned incenseH6999 upon the mountainsH2022, and blasphemedH2778 me upon the hillsH1389: therefore will I measureH4058 their formerH7223 workH6468 into their bosomH2436.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, As the new wineH8492 is foundH4672 in the clusterH811, and one saithH559, DestroyH7843 it not; for a blessingH1293 is in it: so will I doH6213 for my servants'H5650 sakes, that I may not destroyH7843 them all.
And I will bring forthH3318 a seedH2233 out of JacobH3290, and out of JudahH3063 an inheritorH3423 of my mountainsH2022: and mine electH972 shall inheritH3423 it, and my servantsH5650 shall dwellH7931 there.
And SharonH8289 shall be a foldH5116 of flocksH6629, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 a place for the herdsH1241 to lie down inH7258, for my peopleH5971 that have soughtH1875 me.
But ye are they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, that forgetH7913 my holyH6944 mountainH2022, that prepareH6186 a tableH7979 for that troopH1409+H1408, and that furnishH4390 the drink offeringH4469 unto that numberH4507. {troop: or, Gad} {number: or, Meni, a pagan god}
Therefore will I numberH4487 you to the swordH2719, and ye shall all bow downH3766 to the slaughterH2874: because when I calledH7121, ye did not answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, ye did not hearH8085; but didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and did chooseH977 that wherein I delightedH2654 not.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, my servantsH5650 shall eatH398, but ye shall be hungryH7456: behold, my servantsH5650 shall drinkH8354, but ye shall be thirstyH6770: behold, my servantsH5650 shall rejoiceH8055, but ye shall be ashamedH954:
Behold, my servantsH5650 shall singH7442 for joyH2898 of heartH3820, but ye shall cryH6817 for sorrowH3511 of heartH3820, and shall howlH3213 for vexationH7667 of spiritH7307. {vexation: Heb. breaking}
And ye shall leaveH3240 your nameH8034 for a curseH7621 unto my chosenH972: for the LordH136 GODH3069 shall slayH4191 thee, and callH7121 his servantsH5650 by anotherH312 nameH8034:
That he who blessethH1288 himself in the earthH776 shall blessH1288 himself in the GodH430 of truthH543; and he that swearethH7650 in the earthH776 shall swearH7650 by the GodH430 of truthH543; because the formerH7223 troublesH6869 are forgottenH7911, and because they are hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869.
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
But be ye gladH7797 and rejoiceH1523 for everH5703 in that which I createH1254: for, behold, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 a rejoicingH1525, and her peopleH5971 a joyH4885.
And I will rejoiceH1523 in JerusalemH3389, and joyH7797 in my peopleH5971: and the voiceH6963 of weepingH1065 shall be no more heardH8085 in her, nor the voiceH6963 of cryingH2201.
There shall be no more thence an infantH5764 of daysH3117, nor an old manH2205 that hath not filledH4390 his daysH3117: for the childH5288 shall dieH4191 an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121; but the sinnerH2398 being an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shall be accursedH7043.
And they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
They shall not buildH1129, and anotherH312 inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and anotherH312 eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086 the workH4639 of their handsH3027. {shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
They shall not labourH3021 in vainH7385, nor bring forthH3205 for troubleH928; for they are the seedH2233 of the blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068, and their offspringH6631 with them.
And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yet speakingH1696, I will hearH8085.
The wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 shall feedH7462 togetherH259, and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the bullockH1241: and dustH6083 shall be the serpent'sH5175 meatH3899. They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The heavenH8064 is my throneH3678, and the earthH776 is my footstoolH7272+H1916: where is the houseH1004 that ye buildH1129 unto me? and where is the placeH4725 of my restH4496?
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
He that killethH7819 an oxH7794 is as if he slewH5221 a manH376; he that sacrificethH2076 a lambH7716, as if he cut offH6202 a dog'sH3611 neckH6202; he that offerethH5927 an oblationH4503, as if he offered swine'sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burnethH2142 incenseH3828, as if he blessedH1288 an idolH205. Yea, they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delightethH2654 in their abominationsH8251. {lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will chooseH977 their delusionsH8586, and will bringH935 their fearsH4035 upon them; because when I calledH7121, none did answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, they did not hearH8085: but they didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that in which I delightedH2654 not. {delusions: or, devices}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye that trembleH2730 at his wordH1697; Your brethrenH251 that hatedH8130 you, that cast you outH5077 for my name'sH8034 sake, saidH559, Let the LORDH3068 be glorifiedH3513: but he shall appearH7200 to your joyH8057, and they shall be ashamedH954.
A voiceH6963 of noiseH7588 from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 that renderethH7999 recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341.
Before she travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205; before her painH2256 cameH935, she was deliveredH4422 of a man childH2145.
Who hath heardH8085 such a thing? who hath seenH7200 such things? Shall the earthH776 be made to bring forthH2342 in oneH259 dayH3117? or shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205 at onceH6471? for as soon asH1571 ZionH6726 travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205 her childrenH1121.
Shall I bring to the birthH7665, and not cause to bring forthH3205? saithH559 the LORDH3068: shall IH589 cause to bring forthH3205, and shutH6113 the womb? saithH559 thy GodH430. {not…: or, not beget?}
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
That ye may suckH3243, and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of her consolationsH8575; that ye may milk outH4711, and be delightedH6026 with the abundanceH2123 of her gloryH3519. {abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the GentilesH1471 like a flowingH7857 streamH5158: then shall ye suckH3243, ye shall be borneH5375 upon her sidesH6654, and be dandledH8173 upon her kneesH1290.
As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comfortethH5162, so will I comfortH5162 you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.
And when ye seeH7200 this, your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourishH6524 like an herbH1877: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 toward his servantsH5650, and his indignationH2194 toward his enemiesH341.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784, and with his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwindH5492, to renderH7725 his angerH639 with furyH2534, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.
For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will the LORDH3068 pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be manyH7231.
They that sanctifyH6942 themselves, and purifyH2891 themselves in the gardensH1593 behindH310 oneH259 tree in the midstH8432, eatingH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and the abominationH8263, and the mouseH5909, shall be consumedH5486 togetherH3162, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {behind…: or, one after another}
For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: it shall comeH935, that I will gatherH6908 all nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and seeH7200 my gloryH3519.
And I will setH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 those that escapeH6412 of them unto the nationsH1471, to TarshishH8659, PulH6322, and LudH3865, that drawH4900 the bowH7198, to TubalH8422, and JavanH3120, to the islesH339 afar offH7350, that have not heardH8085 my fameH8088, neither have seenH7200 my gloryH3519; and they shall declareH5046 my gloryH3519 among the GentilesH1471.
And they shall bringH935 all your brethrenH251 for an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in littersH6632, and upon mulesH6505, and upon swift beastsH3753, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saithH559 the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {litters: or, coaches}
And I will also takeH3947 of them for priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
And it shall come to pass, that fromH1767 one new moonH2320 to anotherH2320, and fromH1767 one sabbathH7676 to anotherH7676, shall all fleshH1320 comeH935 to worshipH7812 beforeH6440 me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forthH3318, and lookH7200 upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586 against me: for their wormH8438 shall not dieH4191, neither shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all fleshH1320.
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Come nearH7126, ye nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816: let the earthH776 hearH8085, and all that is thereinH4393; the worldH8398, and all things that come forthH6631 of it. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignationH7110 of the LORDH3068 is upon all nationsH1471, and his furyH2534 upon all their armiesH6635: he hath utterly destroyedH2763 them, he hath deliveredH5414 them to the slaughterH2874.
Their slainH2491 also shall be cast outH7993, and their stinkH889 shall come upH5927 out of their carcasesH6297, and the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549 with their bloodH1818.
And all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 shall be dissolvedH4743, and the heavensH8064 shall be rolled togetherH1556 as a scrollH5612: and all their hostH6635 shall fall downH5034, as the leafH5929 falleth offH5034 from the vineH1612, and as a fallingH5034 fig from the fig treeH8384.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
And the unicornsH7214 shall come downH3381 with them, and the bullocksH6499 with the bullsH47; and their landH776 shall be soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459. {unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197 pitchH2203.
It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927 for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717; none shall pass throughH5674 it for everH5331 and everH5331.
But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423 it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 in it: and he shall stretch outH5186 upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922. {cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall callH7121 the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927 in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall also meetH6298 with the wild beasts of the islandH338, and the satyrH8163 shall cryH7121 to his fellowH7453; the screech owlH3917 also shall restH7280 there, and findH4672 for herself a place of restH4494. {The wild…desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild…island: Heb. Ijim} {screech…: or, night monster}
There shall the great owlH7091 make her nestH7077, and layH4422, and hatchH1234, and gatherH1716 under her shadowH6738: there shall the vulturesH1772 also be gatheredH6908, every oneH802 with her mateH7468.
Seek ye outH1875 of the bookH5612 of the LORDH3068, and readH7121: no oneH259 of theseH2007 shall failH5737, noneH802 shall wantH6485 her mateH7468: for my mouthH6310 it hath commandedH6680, and his spiritH7307 it hath gatheredH6908 them.
And he hath castH5307 the lotH1486 for them, and his handH3027 hath dividedH2505 it unto them by lineH6957: they shall possessH3423 it forH5704 everH5769, from generationH1755 to generationH1755 shall they dwellH7931 therein.
RejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123, that dwellestH3427 in the landH776 of UzH5780; the cupH3563 also shall passH5674 through unto thee: thou shalt be drunkenH7937, and shalt make thyself nakedH6168.
The punishment of thine iniquityH5771 is accomplishedH8552, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; he will no moreH3254 carry thee away into captivityH1540: he will visitH6485 thine iniquityH5771, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123; he will discoverH1540 thy sinsH2403. {The…: or, Thine iniquity} {discover…: or, carry thee captive for thy sins}
I have troddenH1869 the winepressH6333 alone; and of the peopleH5971 there was noneH376 with me: for I will treadH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampleH7429 them in my furyH2534; and their bloodH5332 shall be sprinkledH5137 upon my garmentsH899, and I will stainH1351 all my raimentH4403.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, HathG683 GodG2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992? God forbidG3361+G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958.
GodG2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267+G2228. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 EliasG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, {of Elias: Gr. in Elias?}
LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4675 prophetsG4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4675 altarsG2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG3450 lifeG5590.
ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of BaalG896.
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
I sayG3004 thenG3767+G3361, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361+G1096: butG235 rather through theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come unto the GentilesG1484, for toG1519 provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863.
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; howG4214 much moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG4138? {diminishing: or, decay, or, loss}
ForG1063 I speakG3004 to youG5213 GentilesG1484, inasmuch asG1909+G3745+G3303 IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 of the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 mineG3450 officeG1248:
If by any meansG1513+G4458 I may provoke to emulationG3863 them which are myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 might saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the casting awayG580 of themG846 be the reconcilingG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 shall the receivingG4356 of them be, butG1508 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498?
ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG536 be holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG2798.
AndG1161 if someG1536 of the branchesG2798 be broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771, beingG5607 a wild olive treeG65, wert graffed inG1461 amongG1722 themG846, andG2532 withG4791 themG1096 partakestG4791 of the rootG4491 andG2532 fatnessG4096 of the olive treeG1636; {among them: or, for them}
BoastG2620 notG3361 againstG2620 the branchesG2798. ButG1161 ifG1487 thou boastG2620, thouG4771 bearestG941 notG3756 the rootG4491, butG235 the rootG4491 theeG4571.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767, The branchesG2798 were broken offG1575, thatG2443 IG1473 might be graffed inG1461.
WellG2573; because of unbeliefG570 they were broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771 standestG2476 by faithG4102. BeG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, butG235 fearG5399:
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798+G2596, take heed lestG4458+G3381 heG5339 alsoG3381 spareG5339 notG3761 theeG4675.
BeholdG1492 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 andG2532 severityG663 of GodG2316: onG1909 them which fellG4098+G3303, severityG663; butG1161 towardG1909 theeG4571, goodnessG5544, ifG1437 thou continueG1961 in his goodnessG5544: otherwiseG1893 thouG4771 alsoG2532 shalt be cut offG1581.
AndG1161 theyG1565 alsoG2532, ifG3362 they abideG1961 notG3362 still in unbeliefG570, shall be graffed inG1461: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to graffG1461 themG846 inG1461 againG3825.
ForG1063 ifG1487 thouG4771 wert cutG1581 out ofG1537 the olive tree which is wildG65 byG2596 natureG5449, andG2532 wert graffedG1461 contrary toG3844 natureG5449 intoG1519 a good olive treeG2565: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shall theseG3778, which be the naturalG2596+G5449 branches, be graffed intoG1461 their ownG2398 olive treeG1636?
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
ForG1063 asG5618+G2532 yeG5210 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG5130 their unbeliefG543: {believed: or, obeyed}
Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. {believed: or, obeyed}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercyG1653 upon allG3956. {concluded…: or, shut them all up together}
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825?
OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
ThenG1534 cometh the endG5056, whenG3752 he shall have delivered upG3860 the kingdomG932 to GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; whenG3752 he shall have put downG2673 allG3956 ruleG746 andG2532 allG3956 authorityG1849 andG2532 powerG1411.
The childrenH1121 that are begottenH3205 of them shall enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068 in their thirdH7992 generationH1755.
