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!
ButG1161 I fearG5399, lestG3381 by any meansG4458, asG5613 the serpentG3789 beguiledG1818 EveG2096 throughG1722 hisG846 subtiltyG3834, soG3779 yourG5216 mindsG3540 should be corruptedG5351 fromG575 the simplicityG572 that is inG1519 ChristG5547.
ButG1161 GodG2316 hath revealedG601 them unto usG2254 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151: forG1063 the SpiritG4151 searchethG2045 all thingsG3956, yeaG2532, the deep thingsG899 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 manG444 knowethG1492 the thingsG3588 of a manG444, saveG1508 the spiritG4151 of manG444 whichG3588 is inG1722 himG846? evenG2532 soG3779 the thingsG3588 of GodG2316 knowethG1492 no manG3762, butG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096 of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
ForG1063 we haveG1811 notG3756 followedG1811 cunningly devisedG4679 fablesG3454, when we made knownG1107 unto youG5213 the powerG1411 andG2532 comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG2030 of hisG1565 majestyG3168.
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
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.
In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallenH5307, and close upH1443 the breachesH6556 thereof; and I will raise upH6965 his ruinsH2034, and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769: {close: Heb. hedge, or, wall}
That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of EdomH123, and of all the heathenH1471, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 that doethH6213 this. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114, and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seedH2233; and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wineH6071, and all the hillsH1389 shall meltH4127. {soweth: Heb. draweth forth} {sweet: or, new}
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
O continueH4900 thy lovingkindnessH2617 unto them that knowH3045 thee; and thy righteousnessH6666 to the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. {continue: Heb. draw out at length}
Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, GoH3212, lie downH7901: and it shall be, if he callH7121 thee, that thou shalt sayH559, SpeakH1696, LORDH3068; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085. So SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and lay downH7901 in his placeH4725.
SetH7896 a watchH8108, O LORDH3068, before my mouthH6310; keepH5341 the doorH1817 of my lipsH8193.
And the childrenH1121 struggled togetherH7533 within herH7130; and she saidH559, If it be so, why am I thusH2088? And she wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068.
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
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.
And DishonH1787, and EzerH687, and DishanH1789: these are the dukesH441 of the HoritesH2752, the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 in the landH776 of EdomH123.
In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves.
So JoramH3141 went overH5674 to ZairH6811, and all the chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him aboutH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168.
Yet EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. Then LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256.
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
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}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
AndG2532 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 fromG575 IdumaeaG2401, andG2532 from beyondG4008 JordanG2446; andG2532 they aboutG4012 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, when they had heardG191 what great thingsG3745 he didG4160, cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
LestG3361 there be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG4415.
ForG1063 ye knowG2467 howG3754 that afterwardG2532+G3347, when he wouldG2309 have inheritedG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593: forG1063 he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567 withG3326 tearsG1144. {place…: or, way to change his mind}
And EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, FeedH3938 me, I pray thee, withH4480 that sameH122 redH122 pottage; for I am faintH5889: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123. {with…: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}
And EsauH6215 hatedH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 wherewithH834 his fatherH1 blessed himH1288: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at handH7126; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.
Then JacobH3290 was greatlyH3966 afraidH3372 and distressedH3334: and he dividedH2673 the peopleH5971 that was with him, and the flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, and the camelsH1581, into twoH8147 bandsH4264;
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leaveH3322 with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What…: Heb. Wherefore is this?}
And JacobH3290 cameH935 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 unto MamreH4471, unto the city of ArbahH7153, which is HebronH2275, where AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 sojournedH1481.
And the daysH3117 of IsaacH3327 were an hundredH3967+H8141 and fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141.
And IsaacH3327 gave up the ghostH1478, and diedH4191, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971, being oldH2205 and fullH7649 of daysH3117: and his sonsH1121 EsauH6215 and JacobH3290 buriedH6912 him.
Thus dweltH3427 EsauH6215 in mountH2022 SeirH8165: EsauH6215 is EdomH123.
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, Thus shall ye speakH559 unto my lordH113 EsauH6215; Thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 saithH559 thus, I have sojournedH1481 with LabanH3837, and stayed thereH309 until now:
Thus dweltH3427 EsauH6215 in mountH2022 SeirH8165: EsauH6215 is EdomH123.
These are the sonsH1121 of SeirH8165 the HoriteH2752, who inhabitedH3427 the landH776; LotanH3877, and ShobalH7732, and ZibeonH6649, and AnahH6034,
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
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.
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?
And TimnaH8555 was concubineH6370 to EliphazH464 Esau'sH6215 sonH1121; and she bareH3205 to EliphazH464 AmalekH6002: these were the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711 Esau'sH6215 wifeH802.
For he saidH559, Because the LORDH3050 hath swornH3027+H3676 that the LORDH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {Because…: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc} {the LORD hath…: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD}
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
And DavidH1732 and his menH582 went upH5927, and invadedH6584 the GeshuritesH1651, and the GezritesH1511, and the AmalekitesH6003: for thoseH2007 nations were of oldH5769 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, as thou goestH935 to ShurH7793, even unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {Gezrites: or, Gerzites}
And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the landH776, and left neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, and took awayH3947 the sheepH6629, and the oxenH1241, and the assesH2543, and the camelsH1581, and the apparelH899, and returnedH7725, and cameH935 to AchishH397.
And AchishH397 saidH559, WhitherH408 have ye made a roadH6584 to dayH3117? And DavidH1732 saidH559, Against the southH5045 of JudahH3063, and against the southH5045 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and against the southH5045 of the KenitesH7017. {Whither…: or, Did you not make a road, etc}
And DavidH1732 savedH2421 neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, to bringH935 tidings to GathH1661, sayingH559, Lest they should tellH5046 on us, sayingH559, So didH6213 DavidH1732, and so will be his mannerH4941 all the whileH3117 he dwellethH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And AchishH397 believedH539 DavidH1732, sayingH559, He hath made his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 utterlyH887 to abhorH887 him; therefore he shall be my servantH5650 for everH5769. {utterly…: Heb. to stink}
And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 and his menH582 were comeH935 to ZiklagH6860 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that the AmalekitesH6003 had invadedH6584 the southH5045, and ZiklagH6860, and smittenH5221 ZiklagH6860, and burnedH8313 it with fireH784;
And had taken the womenH802 captivesH7617, that were therein: they slewH4191 not anyH376, either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but carried them awayH5090, and wentH3212 on their wayH1870.
So DavidH1732 and his menH582 cameH935 to the cityH5892, and, behold, it was burnedH8313 with fireH784; and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, were taken captivesH7617.
Then DavidH1732 and the peopleH5971 that were with him lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963 and weptH1058, until they had no more powerH3581 to weepH1058.
And David'sH1732 twoH8147 wivesH802 were taken captivesH7617, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the wifeH802 of NabalH5037 the CarmeliteH3761.
And DavidH1732 was greatlyH3966 distressedH3334; for the peopleH5971 spakeH559 of stoningH5619 him, because the soulH5315 of all the peopleH5971 was grievedH4843, every manH376 for his sonsH1121 and for his daughtersH1323: but DavidH1732 encouragedH2388 himself in the LORDH3068 his GodH430. {grieved: Heb. bitter}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Ahimelech'sH288 sonH1121, I pray thee, bring me hitherH5066 the ephodH646. And AbiatharH54 broughtH5066 thither the ephodH646 to DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 at the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291 afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answeredH559 him, PursueH7291: for thou shalt surelyH5381 overtakeH5381 them, and without failH5337 recoverH5337 all.
So DavidH1732 wentH3212, he and the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, and cameH935 to the brookH5158 BesorH1308, where those that were left behindH3498 stayedH5975.
But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291, he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376: for two hundredH3967 abode behindH5975, which were so faintH6296 that they could not go overH5674 the brookH5158 BesorH1308.
And they foundH4672 an EgyptianH376+H4713 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH3947 him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 him breadH3899, and he did eatH398; and they made him drinkH8248 waterH4325;
And they gaveH5414 him a pieceH6400 of a cakeH1690 of figs, and twoH8147 clusters of raisinsH6778: and when he had eatenH398, his spiritH7307 came againH7725 to him: for he had eatenH398 no breadH3899, nor drunkH8354 any waterH4325, threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saidH559, I am a young manH5288 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH376+H6003; and my masterH113 leftH5800 me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 agone I fell sickH2470.
We made an invasionH6584 upon the southH5045 of the CherethitesH3774, and upon the coast which belongeth to JudahH3063, and upon the southH5045 of CalebH3612; and we burnedH8313 ZiklagH6860 with fireH784.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Canst thou bring me downH3381 to this companyH1416? And he saidH559, SwearH7650 unto me by GodH430, that thou wilt neither killH4191 me, norH518 deliverH5462 me into the handsH3027 of my masterH113, and I will bring thee downH3381 to this companyH1416.
And when he had brought him downH3381, behold, they were spread abroadH5203 upon allH6440 the earthH776, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and dancingH2287, because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947 out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the landH776 of JudahH3063.
And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 them from the twilightH5399 even unto the eveningH6153 of the next dayH4283: and there escapedH4422 not a manH376 of them, save fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5288 menH376, which rodeH7392 upon camelsH1581, and fledH5127. {the next…: Heb. their morrow}
And DavidH1732 recoveredH5337 all that the AmalekitesH6002 had carried awayH3947: and DavidH1732 rescuedH5337 his twoH8147 wivesH802.
And there was nothing lackingH5737 to them, neitherH4480 smallH6996 nor greatH1419, neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, neither spoilH7998, nor any thing that they had takenH3947 to them: DavidH1732 recoveredH7725 all.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 all the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241, which they draveH5090 beforeH6440 thoseH1931 other cattleH4735, and saidH559, This is David'sH1732 spoilH7998.
And some of them, even of the sonsH1121 of SimeonH8095, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH582, wentH1980 to mountH2022 SeirH8165, having for their captainsH7218 PelatiahH6410, and NeariahH5294, and RephaiahH7509, and UzzielH5816, the sonsH1121 of IshiH3469.
AndG2532 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 fromG575 IdumaeaG2401, andG2532 from beyondG4008 JordanG2446; andG2532 they aboutG4012 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, when they had heardG191 what great thingsG3745 he didG4160, cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
And these are the kingsH4428 that reignedH4427 in the landH776 of EdomH123, beforeH6440 there reignedH4427 any kingH4428 over the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And BelaH1106 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 reignedH4427 in EdomH123: and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was DinhabahH1838.
And BelaH1106 diedH4191, and JobabH3103 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 of BozrahH1224 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JobabH3103 diedH4191, and HushamH2367 of the landH776 of TemaniH8489 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And HushamH2367 diedH4191, and HadadH1908 the sonH1121 of BedadH911, who smoteH5221 MidianH4080 in the fieldH7704 of MoabH4124, reignedH4427 in his stead: and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was AvithH5762.
And HadadH1908 diedH4191, and SamlahH8072 of MasrekahH4957 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And SamlahH8072 diedH4191, and SaulH7586 of RehobothH7344 by the riverH5104 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And SaulH7586 diedH4191, and BaalhananH1177 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And BaalhananH1177 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907 diedH4191, and HadarH1924 reignedH4427 in his stead: and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was PauH6464; and his wife'sH802 nameH8034 was MehetabelH4105, the daughterH1323 of MatredH4308, the daughterH1323 of MezahabH4314. {Hadar, Pau: or, Hadad, Pai: after his death was an Aristocracy}
Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, sayingH559, Let me, I pray thee, pass throughH5674 thy landH776: but the kingH4428 of EdomH123 would not hearkenH8085 thereto. And in like manner they sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: but he wouldH14 not consent: and IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in KadeshH6946.
So SaulH7586 tookH3920 the kingdomH4410 over IsraelH3478, and foughtH3898 against all his enemiesH341 on every sideH5439, against MoabH4124, and against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and against EdomH123, and against the kingsH4428 of ZobahH6678, and against the PhilistinesH6430: and whithersoever he turnedH6437 himself, he vexedH7561 them.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
And DavidH1732 gatH6213 him a nameH8034 when he returnedH7725 from smitingH5221 of the SyriansH758 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, being eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 men. {smiting: Heb. his smiting}
And he putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in EdomH123; throughout all EdomH123 putH7760 he garrisonsH5333, and all they of EdomH123 became David'sH1732 servantsH5650. And the LORDH3068 preservedH3467 DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980.
It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves.
In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428. {dominion: Heb. hand}
He slewH5221 of EdomH123 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417 tenH6235 thousandH505, and tookH8610 SelahH5554 by warH4421, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JoktheelH3371 unto this dayH3117. {Selah: or, the rock}
And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.
For again the EdomitesH130 had comeH935 and smittenH5221 JudahH3063, and carried awayH7617 captivesH7628. {captives: Heb. a captivity}
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
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}
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
And these are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, by their namesH8034, according to their generationsH8435: the firstbornH1060 of IshmaelH3458, NebajothH5032; and KedarH6938, and AdbeelH110, and MibsamH4017,
And BashemathH1315 Ishmael'sH3458 daughterH1323, sisterH269 of NebajothH5032.
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}
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}
Then JacobH3290 went onH5375 his journeyH7272, and cameH3212 into the landH776 of the peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. {went…: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
His substanceH4735 also was sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she assesH860, and a veryH3966 greatH7227 householdH5657; so that this manH376 was the greatestH1419 of all the menH1121 of the eastH6924. {substance: or, cattle} {household: or, husbandry} {men: Heb. sons}
And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against them;
Then all the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 were gatheredH622 togetherH3162, and went overH5674, and pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.
And the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and all the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 layH5307 along in the valleyH6010 like grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557, as the sandH2344 by the seaH3220 sideH8193 for multitudeH7230.
Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in KarkorH7174, and their hostsH4264 with them, about fifteenH2568+H6240 thousandH505 men, all that were leftH3498 of all the hostsH4264 of the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924: for there fellH5307 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719. {men that…: or, every one drawing a sword}
Concerning KedarH6938, and concerning the kingdomsH4467 of HazorH2674, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall smiteH5221, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; AriseH6965 ye, go upH5927 to KedarH6938, and spoilH7703 the menH1121 of the eastH6924.
WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453 the deadG3498?
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
The beastG2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG1492 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG975 of lifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG2342 that wasG3748+G2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG2076.
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}
Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490. {eat…: Heb. profane them}
For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SingH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670 among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085 ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, O LORDH3068, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.
Behold, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thither.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725 to their own borderH1366.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
And I will bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and will gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye are scatteredH6327, with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210.
And I will bringH935 you into the wildernessH4057 of the peopleH5971, and there will I pleadH8199 with you faceH6440 to faceH6440.
Like as I pleadedH8199 with your fathersH1 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so will I pleadH8199 with you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will cause you to passH5674 under the rodH7626, and I will bringH935 you into the bondH4562 of the covenantH1285: {bond: or, delivering}
And I will purge outH1305 from among you the rebelsH4775, and them that transgressH6586 against me: I will bring them forthH3318 out of the countryH776 where they sojournH4033, and they shall not enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Then he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these bonesH6106 are the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: behold, they sayH559, Our bonesH6106 are driedH3001, and our hopeH8615 is lostH6: we are cut offH1504 for our parts.
And I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427 them; for I have mercyH7355 upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 them.
And they of EphraimH669 shall be like a mightyH1368 man, and their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH8055 as through wineH3196: yea, their childrenH1121 shall seeH7200 it, and be gladH8055; their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068.
I will hissH8319 for them, and gatherH6908 them; for I have redeemedH6299 them: and they shall increaseH7235 as they have increasedH7235.
I will bring them againH7725 also out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and gatherH6908 them out of AssyriaH804; and I will bringH935 them into the landH776 of GileadH1568 and LebanonH3844; and place shall not be foundH4672 for them.
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.
I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nighH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352+H8351. {smite…: or, smite through the princes of}
And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428.
SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.
ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he had privilyG2977 calledG2564 the wise menG3097, enquiredG198 ofG3844 themG846 diligentlyG198 what timeG5550 the starG792 appearedG5316.
AndG2532 he sentG3992 themG846 toG1519 BethlehemG965, and saidG2036, GoG4198 and searchG1833 diligentlyG199 forG4012 the young childG3813; andG1161 whenG1875 ye have foundG2147 him, bringG518 meG3427 word againG518, thatG3704 I may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 himG846 alsoG2504.
WhenG1161 they had heardG191 the kingG935, they departedG4198; andG2532, loG2400, the starG792, whichG3739 they sawG1492 inG1722 the eastG395, went beforeG4254 themG846, tillG2193 it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 overG1883 whereG3757 the young childG3813 wasG2258.
WhenG1161 they sawG1492 the starG792, they rejoicedG5463 with exceedingG4970 greatG3173 joyG5479.
I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nighH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352+H8351. {smite…: or, smite through the princes of}
And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428.
GodH430 hath spokenH1696 in his holinessH6944; I will rejoiceH5937, I will divideH2505 ShechemH7927, and mete outH4058 the valleyH6010 of SuccothH5523.
GileadH1568 is mine; ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;
MoabH4124 is my washpotH7366+H5518; over EdomH123 will I cast outH7993 my shoeH5275; over PhilistiaH6429 will I triumphH7321.
Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4013 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123?
Wilt not thou, O GodH430, who hast cast us offH2186? and wilt not thou, O GodH430, go forthH3318 with our hostsH6635?
Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4013 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123?
Wilt not thou, O GodH430, who hast cast us offH2186? and wilt not thou, O GodH430, go forthH3318 with our hostsH6635?
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
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}
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 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.
AndG2532 the starsG792 of heavenG3772 fellG4098 untoG1519 the earthG1093, even asG5613 a fig treeG4808 castethG906 herG846 untimely figsG3653, when she is shakenG4579 ofG5259 a mightyG3173 windG417. {untimely figs: or, green figs}
AndG2532 the heavenG3772 departedG673 asG5613 a scrollG975 when it is rolled togetherG1507; andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 islandG3520 were movedG2795 out ofG1537 theirG846 placesG5117.
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}
And the earthH776 wasH1961 without formH8414, and voidH922; and darknessH2822 was upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415. And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 movedH7363 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
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}
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.
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
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.
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}
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.
Because thou hast had a perpetualH5769 hatredH342, and hast shedH5064 the blood of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their calamityH343, in the timeH6256 that their iniquityH5771 had an endH7093: {perpetual…: or, hatred of old} {shed…: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
And his feetH7272 shall standH5975 in that dayH3117 upon the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132, which is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924, and the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132 shall cleaveH1234 in the midstH2677 thereof toward the eastH4217 and toward the westH3220, and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH1419 valleyH1516; and halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 shall removeH4185 toward the northH6828, and halfH2677 of it toward the southH5045.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When the whole earthH776 rejoicethH8055, I will makeH6213 thee desolateH8077.
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}
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}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602.
HearH8085 this, ye old menH2205, and give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1?
TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755.
That which the palmerwormH1501 hath leftH3499 hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath leftH3499 hath the cankerwormH3218 eatenH398; and that which the cankerwormH3218 hath leftH3499 hath the caterpillerH2625 eatenH398. {That which the palmerworm…: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm}
AwakeH6974, ye drunkardsH7910, and weepH1058; and howlH3213, all ye drinkersH8354 of wineH3196, because of the new wineH6071; for it is cut offH3772 from your mouthH6310.
For a nationH1471 is come upH5927 upon my landH776, strongH6099, and without numberH4557, whose teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH738, and he hath the cheek teethH4973 of a great lionH3833.
He hath laidH7760 my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barkedH7111 my fig treeH8384: he hath made it cleanH2834 bareH2834, and cast it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are made whiteH3835. {barked…: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking}
LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271.
The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD'SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56.
The fieldH7704 is wastedH7703, the landH127 mournethH56; for the cornH1715 is wastedH7703: the new wineH8492 is dried upH3001, the oilH3323 languishethH535.
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
And your eyesH5869 shall seeH7200, and ye shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 will be magnifiedH1431 from the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478. {from: or, upon: Heb. from upon}
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
GirdH2296 thy swordH2719 upon thy thighH3409, O most mightyH1368, with thy gloryH1935 and thy majestyH1926.
And in thy majestyH1926 rideH7392 prosperouslyH6743 becauseH1697 of truthH571 and meeknessH6037 and righteousnessH6664; and thy right handH3225 shall teachH3384 thee terrible thingsH3372. {ride…: Heb. prosper thou, ride thou}
Thine arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150 in the heartH3820 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341; whereby the peopleH5971 fallH5307 under thee.
Thy throneH3678, O GodH430, is for everH5769 and everH5703: the sceptreH7626 of thy kingdomH4438 is a rightH4334 sceptreH7626.
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!
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG1325 notG3756 givenG1325 usG2254 the spiritG4151 of fearG1167; butG235 of powerG1411, andG2532 of loveG26, andG2532 of a sound mindG4995.
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.
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.
And in the daysH3118 of theseH581 kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 set upH6966 a kingdomH4437, which shall neverH5957+H3809 be destroyedH2255: and the kingdomH4437 shall notH3809 be leftH7662 to otherH321 peopleH5972, but it shall break in piecesH1855 and consumeH5487 allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, and itH1932 shall standH6966 for everH5957. {the days: Cald. their days} {the kingdom: Cald the kingdom thereof}
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
And afterwardH310 I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But it shall come to pass in the latterH319 daysH3117, that I will bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of ElamH5867, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
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.

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.
For they have consultedH3289 togetherH3162 with one consentH3820: they areH3772 confederateH1285 against thee: {consent: Heb. heart}
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
DoH6213 unto them as unto the MidianitesH4080; as to SiseraH5516, as to JabinH2985, at the brookH5158 of KisonH7028:
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, and thy spoilH7998 shall be dividedH2505 in the midstH7130 of thee.
For I will gatherH622 all nationsH1471 against JerusalemH3389 to battleH4421; and the cityH5892 shall be takenH3920, and the housesH1004 rifledH8155, and the womenH802 ravishedH7901+H7693; and halfH2677 of the cityH5892 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall not be cut offH3772 from the cityH5892.
Behold, I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cupH5592 of tremblingH7478 unto all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, when they shall be in the siegeH4692 both against JudahH3063 and against JerusalemH3389. {trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH582, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.
Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213 at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752+H7885 shall pass throughH5674+H5674, it shall not comeH935 unto us: for we have madeH7760 liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760 to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding placeH5643.
And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulledH3722, and your agreementH2380 with hellH7585 shall not standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall pass throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it. {trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it}
From the timeH1767 that it goeth forthH5674 it shall takeH3947 you: for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it pass overH5674, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be a vexationH2113 only to understandH995 the reportH8052. {to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
For the bedH4702 is shorterH7114 than that a man can stretchH8311 himself on it: and the coveringH4541 narrowerH6887 than that he can wrapH3664 himself in it.
For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264 as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639; and bring to passH5647 his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887, lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388: for I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782 upon the whole earthH776.
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}
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 will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cupH5592 of tremblingH7478 unto all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, when they shall be in the siegeH4692 both against JudahH3063 and against JerusalemH3389. {trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}
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.
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.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
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.
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.
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}
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 will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cupH5592 of tremblingH7478 unto all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, when they shall be in the siegeH4692 both against JudahH3063 and against JerusalemH3389. {trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
And in that dayH3117 shall the deafH2795 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612, and the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall seeH7200 out of obscurityH652, and out of darknessH2822.
I will makeH5414 thee perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077, and thy citiesH5892 shall not returnH7725+H3427: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will even doH6213 according to thine angerH639, and according to thine envyH7068 which thou hast usedH6213 out of thy hatredH8135 against them; and I will make myself knownH3045 among them, when I have judgedH8199 thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
Thus with your mouthH6310 ye have boastedH1431 against me, and have multipliedH6280 your wordsH1697 against me: I have heardH8085 them. {boasted: Heb. magnified}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When the whole earthH776 rejoicethH8055, I will makeH6213 thee desolateH8077.
As thou didst rejoiceH8057 at the inheritanceH5159 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, because it was desolateH8074, so will I doH6213 unto thee: thou shalt be desolateH8077, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, and all IdumeaH123, even all of it: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
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.
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.
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.
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.
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
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}
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.
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}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, and thy spoilH7998 shall be dividedH2505 in the midstH7130 of thee.
For I will gatherH622 all nationsH1471 against JerusalemH3389 to battleH4421; and the cityH5892 shall be takenH3920, and the housesH1004 rifledH8155, and the womenH802 ravishedH7901+H7693; and halfH2677 of the cityH5892 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall not be cut offH3772 from the cityH5892.
In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves.
In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and he that is feebleH3782 among them at that dayH3117 shall be as DavidH1732; and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 shall be as GodH430, as the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 them. {feeble: or, abject: Heb. fallen}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will seekH1245 to destroyH8045 all the nationsH1471 that comeH935 against JerusalemH3389.
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
In that dayH3117 shall there be a greatH1431 mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, as the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddonH4023.
And the landH776 shall mournH5594, everyH4940 familyH4940 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of NathanH5416 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {every…: Heb. families, families}
The familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of ShimeiH8097 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {of Shimei: or, of Simeon, as LXX}
All the familiesH4940 that remainH7604, every familyH4940 apart, and their wivesH802 apart.
AlasH1945! for that dayH3117 is greatH1419, so thatH369 none is like it: it is even the timeH6256 of Jacob'sH3290 troubleH6869; but he shall be savedH3467 out of it.
Yea, they opened their mouthH6310 wideH7337 against me, and saidH559, AhaH1889, ahaH1889, our eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 it.
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 comethH857, and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158, enquireH1158 ye: returnH7725, comeH857.
SpeakH1696 ye comfortablyH3820 to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto her, that her warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that her iniquityH5771 is pardonedH7521: for she hath receivedH3947 of the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for all her sinsH2403. {comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
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.
ThenH116 was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brassH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken to piecesH1855+H1751 togetherH2298, and becameH1934 like the chaffH5784 ofH4481 the summerH7007 threshingfloorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 themH1994 awayH5376, thatH3606 noH3809 placeH870 was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smoteH4223 the imageH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906, and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.
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.
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}
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.
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.
Yet have I setH5258 my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726. {set: Heb. anointed} {upon…: Heb. upon Zion, the hill of my holiness}
Lift upH5375 your headsH7218, O ye gatesH8179; and be ye lift upH5375, ye everlastingH5769 doorsH6607; and the KingH4428 of gloryH3519 shall come inH935.
Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
ButG1161 I fearG5399, lestG3381 by any meansG4458, asG5613 the serpentG3789 beguiledG1818 EveG2096 throughG1722 hisG846 subtiltyG3834, soG3779 yourG5216 mindsG3540 should be corruptedG5351 fromG575 the simplicityG572 that is inG1519 ChristG5547.
ButG1161 GodG2316 hath revealedG601 them unto usG2254 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151: forG1063 the SpiritG4151 searchethG2045 all thingsG3956, yeaG2532, the deep thingsG899 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 manG444 knowethG1492 the thingsG3588 of a manG444, saveG1508 the spiritG4151 of manG444 whichG3588 is inG1722 himG846? evenG2532 soG3779 the thingsG3588 of GodG2316 knowethG1492 no manG3762, butG1508 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
We haveG2192 alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193+G3739 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096 of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
ForG1063 we haveG1811 notG3756 followedG1811 cunningly devisedG4679 fablesG3454, when we made knownG1107 unto youG5213 the powerG1411 andG2532 comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG2030 of hisG1565 majestyG3168.
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
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.
In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallenH5307, and close upH1443 the breachesH6556 thereof; and I will raise upH6965 his ruinsH2034, and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769: {close: Heb. hedge, or, wall}
That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of EdomH123, and of all the heathenH1471, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 that doethH6213 this. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114, and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seedH2233; and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wineH6071, and all the hillsH1389 shall meltH4127. {soweth: Heb. draweth forth} {sweet: or, new}
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
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.
The entranceH6608 of thy wordsH1697 giveth lightH215; it giveth understandingH995 unto the simpleH6612.
For with thee is the fountainH4726 of lifeH2416: in thy lightH216 shall we seeH7200 lightH216.
Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, GoH3212, lie downH7901: and it shall be, if he callH7121 thee, that thou shalt sayH559, SpeakH1696, LORDH3068; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085. So SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and lay downH7901 in his placeH4725.
SetH7896 a watchH8108, O LORDH3068, before my mouthH6310; keepH5341 the doorH1817 of my lipsH8193.
And the childrenH1121 struggled togetherH7533 within herH7130; and she saidH559, If it be so, why am I thusH2088? And she wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068.
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
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.
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.
And DishonH1787, and EzerH687, and DishanH1789: these are the dukesH441 of the HoritesH2752, the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 in the landH776 of EdomH123.
In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves.
So JoramH3141 went overH5674 to ZairH6811, and all the chariotsH7393 with him: and he roseH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him aboutH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 into their tentsH168.
Yet EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. Then LibnahH3841 revoltedH6586 at the sameH1931 timeH6256.
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
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}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
AndG2532 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 fromG575 IdumaeaG2401, andG2532 from beyondG4008 JordanG2446; andG2532 they aboutG4012 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, when they had heardG191 what great thingsG3745 he didG4160, cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
LestG3361 there be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG4415.
ForG1063 ye knowG2467 howG3754 that afterwardG2532+G3347, when he wouldG2309 have inheritedG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593: forG1063 he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567 withG3326 tearsG1144. {place…: or, way to change his mind}
And EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, FeedH3938 me, I pray thee, withH4480 that sameH122 redH122 pottage; for I am faintH5889: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123. {with…: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}
And EsauH6215 hatedH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 wherewithH834 his fatherH1 blessed himH1288: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at handH7126; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.
And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to JacobH3290, sayingH559, We cameH935 to thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, and also he comethH1980 to meet theeH7125, and four hundredH3967 menH376 with him.
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leaveH3322 with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. {leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What…: Heb. Wherefore is this?}
And JacobH3290 cameH935 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 unto MamreH4471, unto the city of ArbahH7153, which is HebronH2275, where AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 sojournedH1481.
And the daysH3117 of IsaacH3327 were an hundredH3967+H8141 and fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141.
And IsaacH3327 gave up the ghostH1478, and diedH4191, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971, being oldH2205 and fullH7649 of daysH3117: and his sonsH1121 EsauH6215 and JacobH3290 buriedH6912 him.
Thus dweltH3427 EsauH6215 in mountH2022 SeirH8165: EsauH6215 is EdomH123.
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, Thus shall ye speakH559 unto my lordH113 EsauH6215; Thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 saithH559 thus, I have sojournedH1481 with LabanH3837, and stayed thereH309 until now:
And JacobH3290 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, EsauH6215 cameH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaidsH8198.
These are the sonsH1121 of SeirH8165 the HoriteH2752, who inhabitedH3427 the landH776; LotanH3877, and ShobalH7732, and ZibeonH6649, and AnahH6034,
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
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.
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?
And TimnaH8555 was concubineH6370 to EliphazH464 Esau'sH6215 sonH1121; and she bareH3205 to EliphazH464 AmalekH6002: these were the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711 Esau'sH6215 wifeH802.
For he saidH559, Because the LORDH3050 hath swornH3027+H3676 that the LORDH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {Because…: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc} {the LORD hath…: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD}
But SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 AgagH90, and the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629, and of the oxenH1241, and of the fatlingsH4932, and the lambsH3733, and all that was goodH2896, and wouldH14 not utterly destroyH2763 them: but every thingH4399 that was vileH5240 and refuseH4549, that they destroyed utterlyH2763. {fatlings: or, second sort}
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
And DavidH1732 and his menH582 went upH5927, and invadedH6584 the GeshuritesH1651, and the GezritesH1511, and the AmalekitesH6003: for thoseH2007 nations were of oldH5769 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, as thou goestH935 to ShurH7793, even unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {Gezrites: or, Gerzites}
And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the landH776, and left neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, and took awayH3947 the sheepH6629, and the oxenH1241, and the assesH2543, and the camelsH1581, and the apparelH899, and returnedH7725, and cameH935 to AchishH397.
And AchishH397 saidH559, WhitherH408 have ye made a roadH6584 to dayH3117? And DavidH1732 saidH559, Against the southH5045 of JudahH3063, and against the southH5045 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and against the southH5045 of the KenitesH7017. {Whither…: or, Did you not make a road, etc}
And DavidH1732 savedH2421 neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, to bringH935 tidings to GathH1661, sayingH559, Lest they should tellH5046 on us, sayingH559, So didH6213 DavidH1732, and so will be his mannerH4941 all the whileH3117 he dwellethH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And AchishH397 believedH539 DavidH1732, sayingH559, He hath made his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 utterlyH887 to abhorH887 him; therefore he shall be my servantH5650 for everH5769. {utterly…: Heb. to stink}
And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 and his menH582 were comeH935 to ZiklagH6860 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that the AmalekitesH6003 had invadedH6584 the southH5045, and ZiklagH6860, and smittenH5221 ZiklagH6860, and burnedH8313 it with fireH784;
And had taken the womenH802 captivesH7617, that were therein: they slewH4191 not anyH376, either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but carried them awayH5090, and wentH3212 on their wayH1870.
So DavidH1732 and his menH582 cameH935 to the cityH5892, and, behold, it was burnedH8313 with fireH784; and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, were taken captivesH7617.
Then DavidH1732 and the peopleH5971 that were with him lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963 and weptH1058, until they had no more powerH3581 to weepH1058.
And David'sH1732 twoH8147 wivesH802 were taken captivesH7617, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the wifeH802 of NabalH5037 the CarmeliteH3761.
And DavidH1732 was greatlyH3966 distressedH3334; for the peopleH5971 spakeH559 of stoningH5619 him, because the soulH5315 of all the peopleH5971 was grievedH4843, every manH376 for his sonsH1121 and for his daughtersH1323: but DavidH1732 encouragedH2388 himself in the LORDH3068 his GodH430. {grieved: Heb. bitter}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Ahimelech'sH288 sonH1121, I pray thee, bring me hitherH5066 the ephodH646. And AbiatharH54 broughtH5066 thither the ephodH646 to DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 at the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291 afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answeredH559 him, PursueH7291: for thou shalt surelyH5381 overtakeH5381 them, and without failH5337 recoverH5337 all.
So DavidH1732 wentH3212, he and the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, and cameH935 to the brookH5158 BesorH1308, where those that were left behindH3498 stayedH5975.
But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291, he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376: for two hundredH3967 abode behindH5975, which were so faintH6296 that they could not go overH5674 the brookH5158 BesorH1308.
And they foundH4672 an EgyptianH376+H4713 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH3947 him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 him breadH3899, and he did eatH398; and they made him drinkH8248 waterH4325;
And they gaveH5414 him a pieceH6400 of a cakeH1690 of figs, and twoH8147 clusters of raisinsH6778: and when he had eatenH398, his spiritH7307 came againH7725 to him: for he had eatenH398 no breadH3899, nor drunkH8354 any waterH4325, threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saidH559, I am a young manH5288 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH376+H6003; and my masterH113 leftH5800 me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 agone I fell sickH2470.
We made an invasionH6584 upon the southH5045 of the CherethitesH3774, and upon the coast which belongeth to JudahH3063, and upon the southH5045 of CalebH3612; and we burnedH8313 ZiklagH6860 with fireH784.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Canst thou bring me downH3381 to this companyH1416? And he saidH559, SwearH7650 unto me by GodH430, that thou wilt neither killH4191 me, norH518 deliverH5462 me into the handsH3027 of my masterH113, and I will bring thee downH3381 to this companyH1416.
And when he had brought him downH3381, behold, they were spread abroadH5203 upon allH6440 the earthH776, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and dancingH2287, because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947 out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the landH776 of JudahH3063.
And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 them from the twilightH5399 even unto the eveningH6153 of the next dayH4283: and there escapedH4422 not a manH376 of them, save fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5288 menH376, which rodeH7392 upon camelsH1581, and fledH5127. {the next…: Heb. their morrow}
And DavidH1732 recoveredH5337 all that the AmalekitesH6002 had carried awayH3947: and DavidH1732 rescuedH5337 his twoH8147 wivesH802.
And there was nothing lackingH5737 to them, neitherH4480 smallH6996 nor greatH1419, neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, neither spoilH7998, nor any thing that they had takenH3947 to them: DavidH1732 recoveredH7725 all.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 all the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241, which they draveH5090 beforeH6440 thoseH1931 other cattleH4735, and saidH559, This is David'sH1732 spoilH7998.
And some of them, even of the sonsH1121 of SimeonH8095, fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH582, wentH1980 to mountH2022 SeirH8165, having for their captainsH7218 PelatiahH6410, and NeariahH5294, and RephaiahH7509, and UzzielH5816, the sonsH1121 of IshiH3469.
AndG2532 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 fromG575 IdumaeaG2401, andG2532 from beyondG4008 JordanG2446; andG2532 they aboutG4012 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, when they had heardG191 what great thingsG3745 he didG4160, cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
And these are the kingsH4428 that reignedH4427 in the landH776 of EdomH123, beforeH6440 there reignedH4427 any kingH4428 over the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And BelaH1106 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 reignedH4427 in EdomH123: and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was DinhabahH1838.
And BelaH1106 diedH4191, and JobabH3103 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 of BozrahH1224 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JobabH3103 diedH4191, and HushamH2367 of the landH776 of TemaniH8489 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And HushamH2367 diedH4191, and HadadH1908 the sonH1121 of BedadH911, who smoteH5221 MidianH4080 in the fieldH7704 of MoabH4124, reignedH4427 in his stead: and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was AvithH5762.
And HadadH1908 diedH4191, and SamlahH8072 of MasrekahH4957 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And SamlahH8072 diedH4191, and SaulH7586 of RehobothH7344 by the riverH5104 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And SaulH7586 diedH4191, and BaalhananH1177 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And BaalhananH1177 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907 diedH4191, and HadarH1924 reignedH4427 in his stead: and the nameH8034 of his cityH5892 was PauH6464; and his wife'sH802 nameH8034 was MehetabelH4105, the daughterH1323 of MatredH4308, the daughterH1323 of MezahabH4314. {Hadar, Pau: or, Hadad, Pai: after his death was an Aristocracy}
Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, sayingH559, Let me, I pray thee, pass throughH5674 thy landH776: but the kingH4428 of EdomH123 would not hearkenH8085 thereto. And in like manner they sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: but he wouldH14 not consent: and IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in KadeshH6946.
So SaulH7586 tookH3920 the kingdomH4410 over IsraelH3478, and foughtH3898 against all his enemiesH341 on every sideH5439, against MoabH4124, and against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and against EdomH123, and against the kingsH4428 of ZobahH6678, and against the PhilistinesH6430: and whithersoever he turnedH6437 himself, he vexedH7561 them.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
And DavidH1732 gatH6213 him a nameH8034 when he returnedH7725 from smitingH5221 of the SyriansH758 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, being eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 men. {smiting: Heb. his smiting}
And he putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in EdomH123; throughout all EdomH123 putH7760 he garrisonsH5333, and all they of EdomH123 became David'sH1732 servantsH5650. And the LORDH3068 preservedH3467 DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980.
It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
In his daysH3117 EdomH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 a kingH4428 over themselves.
In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428. {dominion: Heb. hand}
He slewH5221 of EdomH123 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417 tenH6235 thousandH505, and tookH8610 SelahH5554 by warH4421, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JoktheelH3371 unto this dayH3117. {Selah: or, the rock}
And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.
For again the EdomitesH130 had comeH935 and smittenH5221 JudahH3063, and carried awayH7617 captivesH7628. {captives: Heb. a captivity}
RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
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}
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.
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.
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.
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.
And these are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, by their namesH8034, according to their generationsH8435: the firstbornH1060 of IshmaelH3458, NebajothH5032; and KedarH6938, and AdbeelH110, and MibsamH4017,
And BashemathH1315 Ishmael'sH3458 daughterH1323, sisterH269 of NebajothH5032.
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.
Then JacobH3290 went onH5375 his journeyH7272, and cameH3212 into the landH776 of the peopleH1121 of the eastH6924. {went…: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against them;
Then all the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 were gatheredH622 togetherH3162, and went overH5674, and pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.
And the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and all the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 layH5307 along in the valleyH6010 like grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557, as the sandH2344 by the seaH3220 sideH8193 for multitudeH7230.
Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in KarkorH7174, and their hostsH4264 with them, about fifteenH2568+H6240 thousandH505 men, all that were leftH3498 of all the hostsH4264 of the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924: for there fellH5307 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719. {men that…: or, every one drawing a sword}
Concerning KedarH6938, and concerning the kingdomsH4467 of HazorH2674, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall smiteH5221, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; AriseH6965 ye, go upH5927 to KedarH6938, and spoilH7703 the menH1121 of the eastH6924.
WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453 the deadG3498?
AndG2532 out ofG1537 the throneG2362 proceededG1607 lightningsG796 andG2532 thunderingsG1027 andG2532 voicesG5456: andG2532 there were sevenG2033 lampsG2985 of fireG4442 burningG2545 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, whichG3739 areG1526 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 oneG3391 of hisG846 headsG2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694+G1722 the beastG2342. {wounded: Gr. slain}
The beastG2342 thatG3739 thou sawestG1492 wasG2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756; andG2532 shallG3195 ascendG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12, andG2532 goG5217 intoG1519 perditionG684: andG2532 they that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, whoseG3739 namesG3686 wereG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1909 the bookG975 of lifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they beholdG991 the beastG2342 that wasG3748+G2258, andG2532 isG2076 notG3756, and yetG2539 isG2076.
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}
Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490. {eat…: Heb. profane them}
For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SingH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670 among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085 ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, O LORDH3068, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.
Behold, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thither.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725 to their own borderH1366.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
Set thee upH5324 waymarksH6725, makeH7760 thee high heapsH8564: setH7896 thine heartH3820 toward the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 which thou wentestH1980: turn againH7725, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 to these thy citiesH5892.
How long wilt thou go aboutH2559, O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254 a new thingH2319 in the earthH776, A womanH5347 shall compassH5437 a manH1397.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559 this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944.
And there shall dwellH3427 in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof togetherH3162, husbandmenH406, and they that go forthH5265 with flocksH5739.
For I have satiatedH7301 the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and I have replenishedH4390 every sorrowfulH1669 soulH5315.
Upon this I awakedH6974, and beheldH7200; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto me.
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 mine handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. {arms: Heb. bosom}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawfulH6662 captiveH7628 deliveredH4422? {lawful…: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken awayH3947, and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 shall be deliveredH4422: for I will contendH7378 with him that contendethH3401 with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy childrenH1121. {captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkenH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290. {sweet: or, new}
And I will bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and will gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye are scatteredH6327, with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210.
And I will bringH935 you into the wildernessH4057 of the peopleH5971, and there will I pleadH8199 with you faceH6440 to faceH6440.
Like as I pleadedH8199 with your fathersH1 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so will I pleadH8199 with you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will cause you to passH5674 under the rodH7626, and I will bringH935 you into the bondH4562 of the covenantH1285: {bond: or, delivering}
And I will purge outH1305 from among you the rebelsH4775, and them that transgressH6586 against me: I will bring them forthH3318 out of the countryH776 where they sojournH4033, and they shall not enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Then he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these bonesH6106 are the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: behold, they sayH559, Our bonesH6106 are driedH3001, and our hopeH8615 is lostH6: we are cut offH1504 for our parts.
Moreover, thou sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee oneH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JudahH3063, and for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270: then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669, and for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270:
And joinH7126 them oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086; and they shall become oneH259 in thine handH3027.
And sayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the heathenH1471, whither they be goneH1980, and will gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439, and bringH935 them into their own landH127:
And I will makeH6213 them oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and oneH259 kingH4428 shall be kingH4428 to them all: and they shall beH5750 no more twoH8147 nationsH1471, neither shall they be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467 any more at all:
And I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427 them; for I have mercyH7355 upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 them.
And they of EphraimH669 shall be like a mightyH1368 man, and their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH8055 as through wineH3196: yea, their childrenH1121 shall seeH7200 it, and be gladH8055; their heartH3820 shall rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068.
I will hissH8319 for them, and gatherH6908 them; for I have redeemedH6299 them: and they shall increaseH7235 as they have increasedH7235.
And I will sowH2232 them among the peopleH5971: and they shall rememberH2142 me in far countriesH4801; and they shall liveH2421 with their childrenH1121, and turn againH7725.
I will bring them againH7725 also out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and gatherH6908 them out of AssyriaH804; and I will bringH935 them into the landH776 of GileadH1568 and LebanonH3844; and place shall not be foundH4672 for them.
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}
I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nighH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352+H8351. {smite…: or, smite through the princes of}
And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428.
SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.
ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he had privilyG2977 calledG2564 the wise menG3097, enquiredG198 ofG3844 themG846 diligentlyG198 what timeG5550 the starG792 appearedG5316.
AndG2532 he sentG3992 themG846 toG1519 BethlehemG965, and saidG2036, GoG4198 and searchG1833 diligentlyG199 forG4012 the young childG3813; andG1161 whenG1875 ye have foundG2147 him, bringG518 meG3427 word againG518, thatG3704 I may comeG2064 and worshipG4352 himG846 alsoG2504.
WhenG1161 they had heardG191 the kingG935, they departedG4198; andG2532, loG2400, the starG792, whichG3739 they sawG1492 inG1722 the eastG395, went beforeG4254 themG846, tillG2193 it cameG2064 and stoodG2476 overG1883 whereG3757 the young childG3813 wasG2258.
WhenG1161 they sawG1492 the starG792, they rejoicedG5463 with exceedingG4970 greatG3173 joyG5479.
I shall seeH7200 him, but not now: I shall beholdH7789 him, but not nighH7138: there shall comeH1869 a StarH3556 out of JacobH3290, and a SceptreH7626 shall riseH6965 out of IsraelH3478, and shall smiteH4272 the cornersH6285 of MoabH4124, and destroyH6979 all the childrenH1121 of ShethH8352+H8351. {smite…: or, smite through the princes of}
And EdomH123 shall be a possessionH3424, SeirH8165 also shall be a possessionH3424 for his enemiesH341; and IsraelH3478 shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428.
GodH430 hath spokenH1696 in his holinessH6944; I will rejoiceH5937, I will divideH2505 ShechemH7927, and mete outH4058 the valleyH6010 of SuccothH5523.
GileadH1568 is mine; ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;
MoabH4124 is my washpotH7366+H5518; over EdomH123 will I cast outH7993 my shoeH5275; over PhilistiaH6429 will I triumphH7321.
Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4013 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123?
Wilt not thou, O GodH430, who hast cast us offH2186? and wilt not thou, O GodH430, go forthH3318 with our hostsH6635?
Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4013 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123?
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
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}
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 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.
AndG2532 the starsG792 of heavenG3772 fellG4098 untoG1519 the earthG1093, even asG5613 a fig treeG4808 castethG906 herG846 untimely figsG3653, when she is shakenG4579 ofG5259 a mightyG3173 windG417. {untimely figs: or, green figs}
AndG2532 the heavenG3772 departedG673 asG5613 a scrollG975 when it is rolled togetherG1507; andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 islandG3520 were movedG2795 out ofG1537 theirG846 placesG5117.
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}
And the earthH776 wasH1961 without formH8414, and voidH922; and darknessH2822 was upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415. And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 movedH7363 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
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}
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.
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
And afterwardH310 I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
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.
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}
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}
Because thou hast had a perpetualH5769 hatredH342, and hast shedH5064 the blood of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their calamityH343, in the timeH6256 that their iniquityH5771 had an endH7093: {perpetual…: or, hatred of old} {shed…: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
And his feetH7272 shall standH5975 in that dayH3117 upon the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132, which is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924, and the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132 shall cleaveH1234 in the midstH2677 thereof toward the eastH4217 and toward the westH3220, and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH1419 valleyH1516; and halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 shall removeH4185 toward the northH6828, and halfH2677 of it toward the southH5045.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When the whole earthH776 rejoicethH8055, I will makeH6213 thee desolateH8077.
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}
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
And your eyesH5869 shall seeH7200, and ye shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 will be magnifiedH1431 from the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478. {from: or, upon: Heb. from upon}
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
GirdH2296 thy swordH2719 upon thy thighH3409, O most mightyH1368, with thy gloryH1935 and thy majestyH1926.
And in thy majestyH1926 rideH7392 prosperouslyH6743 becauseH1697 of truthH571 and meeknessH6037 and righteousnessH6664; and thy right handH3225 shall teachH3384 thee terrible thingsH3372. {ride…: Heb. prosper thou, ride thou}
Thine arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150 in the heartH3820 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341; whereby the peopleH5971 fallH5307 under thee.
Thy throneH3678, O GodH430, is for everH5769 and everH5703: the sceptreH7626 of thy kingdomH4438 is a rightH4334 sceptreH7626.
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.
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.
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG1325 notG3756 givenG1325 usG2254 the spiritG4151 of fearG1167; butG235 of powerG1411, andG2532 of loveG26, andG2532 of a sound mindG4995.
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.
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.
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
And afterwardH310 I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But it shall come to pass in the latterH319 daysH3117, that I will bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of ElamH5867, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?

For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124.
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?}

For they have consultedH3289 togetherH3162 with one consentH3820: they areH3772 confederateH1285 against thee: {consent: Heb. heart}
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
DoH6213 unto them as unto the MidianitesH4080; as to SiseraH5516, as to JabinH2985, at the brookH5158 of KisonH7028:
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, and thy spoilH7998 shall be dividedH2505 in the midstH7130 of thee.
For I will gatherH622 all nationsH1471 against JerusalemH3389 to battleH4421; and the cityH5892 shall be takenH3920, and the housesH1004 rifledH8155, and the womenH802 ravishedH7901+H7693; and halfH2677 of the cityH5892 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall not be cut offH3772 from the cityH5892.
Behold, I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cupH5592 of tremblingH7478 unto all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, when they shall be in the siegeH4692 both against JudahH3063 and against JerusalemH3389. {trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH582, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.
Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213 at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752+H7885 shall pass throughH5674+H5674, it shall not comeH935 unto us: for we have madeH7760 liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760 to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding placeH5643.
And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulledH3722, and your agreementH2380 with hellH7585 shall not standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall pass throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it. {trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it}
