King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
The LORDH3068 hath preparedH3559 his throneH3678 in the heavensH8064; and his kingdomH4438 rulethH4910 over all.
BlessH1288 the LORDH3068, ye his angelsH4397, that excelH1368 in strengthH3581, that doH6213 his commandmentsH1697, hearkeningH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of his wordH1697. {that excel…: Heb. mighty in strength}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3068 from the heavensH8064: praiseH1984 him in the heightsH4791. {Praise ye the LORD. Praise: Heb. Hallelujah, etc}
PraiseH1984 ye him, all his angelsH4397: praiseH1984 ye him, all his hostsH6635.
PraiseH1984 ye him, sunH8121 and moonH3394: praiseH1984 him, all ye starsH3556 of lightH216.
PraiseH1984 him, ye heavensH8064 of heavensH8064, and ye watersH4325 that be above the heavensH8064.
Let them praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: for he commandedH6680, and they were createdH1254.
He hath also stablishedH5975 them for everH5703 and everH5769: he hath madeH5414 a decreeH2706 which shall not passH5674.
PraiseH1984 the LORDH3068 from the earthH776, ye dragonsH8577, and all deepsH8415:
FireH784, and hailH1259; snowH7950, and vapourH7008; stormyH5591 windH7307 fulfillingH6213 his wordH1697:
MountainsH2022, and all hillsH1389; fruitfulH6529 treesH6086, and all cedarsH730:
BeastsH2416, and all cattleH929; creeping thingsH7431, and flyingH3671 fowlH6833: {flying…: Heb. birds of wing}
KingsH4428 of the earthH776, and all peopleH3816; princesH8269, and all judgesH8199 of the earthH776:
Both young menH970, and maidensH1330; old menH2205, and childrenH5288:
Let them praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: for his nameH8034 alone is excellentH7682; his gloryH1935 is above the earthH776 and heavenH8064. {excellent: Heb. exalted}
He also exaltethH7311 the hornH7161 of his peopleH5971, the praiseH8416 of all his saintsH2623; even of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, a peopleH5971 nearH7138 unto him. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 we shall judgeG2919 angelsG32? how much moreG3386+G1065 things that pertain to this lifeG982?
WhenG3752 ChristG5547, who is ourG2257 lifeG2222, shall appearG5319, thenG5119 shallG5319 yeG5210 alsoG2532 appearG5319 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 gloryG1391.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
The sameG1722+G1565 dayG2250 wentG1831 JesusG2424 out ofG575 the houseG3614, and satG2521 byG3844 the sea sideG2281.
AndG2532 greatG4183 multitudesG3793 were gathered togetherG4863 untoG4314 himG846, so thatG5620 heG846 wentG1684 intoG1519 a shipG4143, and satG2521; andG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG3793 stoodG2476 onG1909 the shoreG123.
AndG2532 he spakeG2980 many thingsG4183 unto themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, a sowerG4687 went forthG1831 to sowG4687;
AndG2532 whenG1722 heG846 sowedG4687, someG3739+G3303 seeds fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846 upG2719:
SomeG1161+G243 fellG4098 uponG1909 stony placesG4075, whereG3699 they hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093: andG2532 forthwithG2112 they sprung upG1816, becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 deepnessG899 of earthG1093:
AndG1161 when the sunG2246 was upG393, they were scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, they withered awayG3583.
AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1909 thornsG173; andG2532 the thornsG173 sprung upG305, andG2532 chokedG638 themG846:
ButG1161 otherG243 fellG4098 intoG1909 goodG2570 groundG1093, andG2532 brought forthG1325 fruitG2590, someG3739+G3303 an hundredfoldG1540+G1161, someG3739 sixtyfoldG1835+G1161, someG3739 thirtyfoldG5144.
WhoG3588 hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AndG2532 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG1302 speakest thouG2980 unto themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850?
He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.
ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have more abundanceG4052: butG1161 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be taken awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 he hathG2192.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 speak IG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 they seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920.
AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG4394 of EsaiasG2268, whichG3588 saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG1492 notG3364 perceiveG1492:
ForG1063 thisG5127 people'sG2992 heartG2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG5216 eyesG3788, forG3754 they seeG991: andG2532 yourG5216 earsG3775, forG3754 they hearG191.
ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG1492 those things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492 them; andG2532 to hearG191 those things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them.
HearG191 yeG5210 thereforeG3767 the parableG3850 of the sowerG4687.
When anyG3956 one hearethG191 the wordG3056 of the kingdomG932, andG2532 understandethG4920 it notG3361, then comethG2064 the wickedG4190 one, andG2532 catcheth awayG726 that whichG3588 was sownG4687 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588. ThisG3778 isG2076 he which received seedG4687 byG3844 the way sideG3598.
ButG1161 he that received the seedG4687 intoG1909 stony placesG4075, the sameG3778 isG2076 he that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 anonG2117 withG3326 joyG5479 receivethG2983 itG846;
YetG1161 hath heG2192 notG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 himselfG1438, butG235 durethG2076 for a whileG4340: forG1161 when tribulationG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, by and byG2117 he is offendedG4624. {offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}
He alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173 isG2076 he thatG3778 hearethG191 the wordG3056; andG2532 the careG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175.
ButG1161 he that received seedG4687 intoG1909 the goodG2570 groundG1093 isG2076 heG3778 that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 understandethG4920 it; whichG3739 alsoG1211 beareth fruitG2592, andG2532 bringeth forthG4160, someG3739+G3303 an hundredfoldG1540+G1161, someG3739 sixtyG1835+G1161, someG3739 thirtyG5144.
AnotherG243 parableG3850 put he forthG3908 unto themG846, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likenedG3666 unto a manG444 which sowedG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 inG1722 hisG846 fieldG68:
ButG1161 whileG1722 menG444 sleptG2518, hisG846 enemyG2190 cameG2064 andG2532 sowedG4687 taresG2215 amongG303+G3319 the wheatG4621, andG2532 went his wayG565.
ButG1161 whenG3753 the bladeG5528 was sprung upG985, andG2532 brought forthG4160 fruitG2590, thenG5119 appearedG5316 the taresG2215 alsoG2532.
SoG1161 the servantsG1401 of the householderG3617 cameG4334 and saidG2036 unto himG846, SirG2962, didstG4687 notG3780 thou sowG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 inG1722 thyG4674 fieldG68? from whenceG4159 thenG3767 hath itG2192 taresG2215?
He saidG5346 unto themG846, An enemyG2190+G444 hath doneG4160 thisG5124+G1161. The servantsG1401 saidG2036 unto himG846, Wilt thouG2309 thenG3767 that we goG565 and gatherG4816 themG846 upG4816?
ButG1161 he saidG5346, NayG3756; lestG3379 while ye gather upG4816 the taresG2215, ye root upG1610 also the wheatG4621 withG260 themG846.
LetG863 bothG297 grow togetherG4885 untilG3360 the harvestG2326: andG2532 inG1722 the timeG2540 of harvestG2326 I will sayG2046 to the reapersG2327, Gather ye togetherG4816 firstG4412 the taresG2215, andG2532 bindG1210 themG846 inG1519 bundlesG1197 toG4314 burnG2618 themG846: butG1161 gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 myG3450 barnG596.
AnotherG243 parableG3850 put he forthG3908 unto themG846, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 to a grainG2848 of mustard seedG4615, whichG3739 a manG444 tookG2983, and sowedG4687 inG1722 hisG846 fieldG68:
WhichG3739 indeedG3303 isG2076 the leastG3398 of allG3956 seedsG4690: butG1161 whenG3752 it is grownG837, it isG2076 the greatestG3187 among herbsG3001, andG2532 becomethG1096 a treeG1186, so thatG5620 the birdsG4071 of the airG3772 comeG2064 andG2532 lodgeG2681 inG1722 the branchesG2798 thereofG846.
AnotherG243 parableG3850 spake heG2980 unto themG846; The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 unto leavenG2219, whichG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983, and hidG1470 inG1519 threeG5140 measuresG4568 of mealG224, tillG2193 the wholeG3650 wasG3739 leavenedG2220. {measures: the word in the Greek is a measure containing about a peck and a half, wanting a little more than a pint}
AllG3956 these thingsG5023 spakeG2980 JesusG2424 unto the multitudeG3793 inG1722 parablesG3850; andG2532 withoutG5565 a parableG3850 spake heG2980 notG3756 unto themG846:
ThatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, I will openG455 myG3450 mouthG4750 inG1722 parablesG3850; I will utterG2044 things which have been kept secretG2928 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
ThenG5119 JesusG2424 sentG863 the multitudeG3793 awayG863, and wentG2064 intoG1519 the houseG3614: andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 unto himG846, sayingG3004, DeclareG5419 unto usG2254 the parableG3850 of the taresG2215 of the fieldG68.
He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto themG846, He that sowethG4687 the goodG2570 seedG4690 isG2076 the SonG5207 of manG444;
The fieldG68 isG2076 the worldG2889+G1161; the goodG2570 seedG4690 areG3778+G1526 the childrenG5207 of the kingdomG932; butG1161 the taresG2215 areG1526 the childrenG5207 of the wickedG4190 one;
The enemyG2190 that sowedG4687 themG846 isG2076 the devilG1228+G1161; the harvestG2326 isG2076 the endG4930 of the worldG165; andG1161 the reapersG2327 areG1526 the angelsG32.
AsG5618 thereforeG3767 the taresG2215 are gatheredG4816 andG2532 burnedG2618 in the fireG4442; soG3779 shall it beG2071 inG1722 the endG4930 of thisG5127 worldG165.
The SonG5207 of manG444 shall send forthG649 hisG846 angelsG32, andG2532 they shall gatherG4816 out ofG1537 hisG846 kingdomG932 all thingsG3956 that offendG4625, andG2532 them which doG4160 iniquityG458; {things…: or, scandals}
AndG2532 shall castG906 themG846 intoG1519 a furnaceG2575 of fireG4442: thereG1563 shall beG2071 wailingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 shine forthG1584 asG5613 the sunG2246 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of theirG846 FatherG3962. WhoG3588 hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 unto treasureG2344 hidG2928 inG1722 a fieldG68; the whichG3739 when a manG444 hath foundG2147, he hidethG2928, andG2532 forG575 joyG5479 thereofG846 goethG5217 andG2532 sellethG4453 allG3956 thatG3745 he hathG2192, andG2532 buyethG59 thatG1565 fieldG68.
AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 unto a merchantG1713 manG444, seekingG2212 goodlyG2570 pearlsG3135:
WhoG3739, when he had foundG2147 oneG1520 pearlG3135 of great priceG4186, wentG565 and soldG4097 allG3956 thatG3745 he hadG2192, andG2532 boughtG59 itG846.
AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 unto a netG4522, that was castG906 intoG1519 the seaG2281, andG2532 gatheredG4863 ofG1537 everyG3956 kindG1085:
WhichG3739, whenG3753 it was fullG4137, they drewG307 toG1909 shoreG123, andG2532 sat downG2523, and gatheredG4816 the goodG2570 intoG1519 vesselsG30, butG1161 castG906 the badG4550 awayG1854.
SoG3779 shall it beG2071 atG1722 the endG4930 of the worldG165: the angelsG32 shall come forthG1831, andG2532 severG873 the wickedG4190 fromG1537 amongG3319 the justG1342,
AndG2532 shall castG906 themG846 intoG1519 the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442: thereG1563 shall beG2071 wailingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, Have ye understoodG4920 allG3956 theseG5023 thingsG3956? They sayG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 he unto themG846, ThereforeG1223+G5124 everyG3956 scribeG1122 which is instructedG3100 untoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 likeG3664 unto a manG444 that is an householderG3617, whichG3748 bringeth forthG1544 out ofG1537 hisG846 treasureG2344 things newG2537 andG2532 oldG3820.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 theseG5025 parablesG3850, he departedG3332 thenceG1564.
AndG2532 when he was comeG2064 intoG1519 his ownG846 countryG3968, he taughtG1321 themG846 inG1722 theirG846 synagogueG4864, insomuch thatG5620 theyG846 were astonishedG1605, andG2532 saidG3004, WhenceG4159 hath this manG5129 thisG3778 wisdomG4678, andG2532 these mighty worksG1411?
IsG2076 notG3756 thisG3778 the carpenter'sG5045 sonG5207? isG3004 notG3780 hisG846 motherG3384 calledG3004 MaryG3137? andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG80, JamesG2385, andG2532 JosesG2500, andG2532 SimonG4613, andG2532 JudasG2455?
AndG2532 hisG846 sistersG79, are theyG1526 notG3780 allG3956 withG4314 usG2248? WhenceG4159 thenG3767 hath this manG5129 allG3956 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 they were offendedG4624 inG1722 himG846. ButG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, A prophetG4396 isG2076 notG3756 without honourG820, saveG1508 inG1722 his ownG846 countryG3968, andG2532 inG1722 his ownG846 houseG3614.
AndG2532 he didG4160 notG3756 manyG4183 mighty worksG1411 thereG1563 becauseG1223 of theirG846 unbeliefG570.
InG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 houseG3614 areG1526 manyG4183 mansionsG3438: if it were notG1490 so, I would have toldG302+G2036 youG5213. I goG4198 to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213.
AndG2532 ifG1437 I goG4198 andG2532 prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213, I will comeG2064 againG3825, andG2532 receiveG3880 youG5209 untoG4314 myselfG1683; thatG2443 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, there yeG5210 may beG5600 alsoG2532.
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
Nevertheless the dimnessH4155 shall not be such as was in her vexationH4164, whenH6256 at the firstH7223 he lightly afflictedH7043 the landH776 of ZebulunH2074 and the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and afterwardH314 did more grievously afflictH3513 her by the wayH1870 of the seaH3220, beyondH5676 JordanH3383, in GalileeH1551 of the nationsH1471. {of the nations: or, populous}
The peopleH5971 that walkedH1980 in darknessH2822 have seenH7200 a greatH1419 lightH216: they that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the shadow of deathH6757, upon them hath the lightH216 shinedH5050.
Thou hast multipliedH7235 the nationH1471, and not increasedH1431 the joyH8057: they joyH8055 beforeH6440 thee according to the joyH8057 in harvestH7105, and as men rejoiceH1523 when they divideH2505 the spoilH7998. {not: or, to him}
For thou hast brokenH2865 the yokeH5923 of his burdenH5448, and the staffH4294 of his shoulderH7926, the rodH7626 of his oppressorH5065, as in the dayH3117 of MidianH4080. {For…: or, When thou brakest}
For every battleH5430 of the warriorH5431 is with confused noiseH7494, and garmentsH8071 rolledH1556 in bloodH1818; but this shall be with burningH8316 and fuelH3980 of fireH784. {For…: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etc} {but…: or, and it was, etc} {fuel: Heb. meat}
For unto us a childH3206 is bornH3205, unto us a sonH1121 is givenH5414: and the governmentH4951 shall be upon his shoulderH7926: and his nameH8034 shall be calledH7121 WonderfulH6382, CounsellorH3289, The mightyH1368 GodH410, The everlastingH5703 FatherH1, The PrinceH8269 of PeaceH7965.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
The LordH136 sentH7971 a wordH1697 into JacobH3290, and it hath lightedH5307 upon IsraelH3478.
And all the peopleH5971 shall knowH3045, even EphraimH669 and the inhabitantH3427 of SamariaH8111, that sayH559 in the prideH1346 and stoutnessH1433 of heartH3824,
The bricksH3843 are fallen downH5307, but we will buildH1129 with hewn stonesH1496: the sycomoresH8256 are cut downH1438, but we will changeH2498 them into cedarsH730.
Therefore the LORDH3068 shall set upH7682 the adversariesH6862 of RezinH7526 against him, and joinH5526 his enemiesH341 togetherH5526; {join: Heb. mingle}
The SyriansH758 beforeH6924, and the PhilistinesH6430 behindH268; and they shall devourH398 IsraelH3478 with open mouthH6310. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186. {open: Heb. whole}
For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725 not unto him that smitethH5221 them, neither do they seekH1875 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Therefore the LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, branchH3712 and rushH100, in oneH259 dayH3117.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104. {the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
Therefore the LordH136 shall have no joyH8055 in their young menH970, neither shall have mercyH7355 on their fatherlessH3490 and widowsH490: for every one is an hypocriteH2611 and an evildoerH7489, and every mouthH6310 speakethH1696 follyH5039. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186. {folly: or, villany}
For wickednessH7564 burnethH1197 as the fireH784: it shall devourH398 the briersH8068 and thornsH7898, and shall kindleH3341 in the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293, and they shall mount upH55 like the lifting upH1348 of smokeH6227.
Through the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the landH776 darkenedH6272, and the peopleH5971 shall be as the fuelH3980 of the fireH784: no manH376 shall spareH2550 his brotherH251. {fuel: Heb. meat}
And he shall snatchH1504 on the right handH3225, and be hungryH7457; and he shall eatH398 on the left handH8040, and they shall not be satisfiedH7646: they shall eatH398 every manH376 the fleshH1320 of his own armH2220: {snatch: Heb cut}
ManassehH4519, EphraimH669; and EphraimH669, ManassehH4519: and they togetherH3162 shall be against JudahH3063. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
AskH7592 of me, and I shall giveH5414 thee the heathenH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.
Thou shalt breakH7489 them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310 like a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall punishH6485 the hostH6635 of the high onesH4791 that are on highH4791, and the kingsH4428 of the earthH127 upon the earthH127. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
AndG2532 thisG5124 gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 shall be preachedG2784 inG1722 allG3650 the worldG3625 forG1519 a witnessG3142 unto allG3956 nationsG1484; andG2532 thenG5119 shall the endG5056 comeG2240.
O singH7891 unto the LORDH3068 a newH2319 songH7892: singH7891 unto the LORDH3068, all the earthH776.
SingH7891 unto the LORDH3068, blessH1288 his nameH8034; shew forthH1319 his salvationH3444 from dayH3117 to dayH3117.
DeclareH5608 his gloryH3519 among the heathenH1471, his wondersH6381 among all peopleH5971.
For the LORDH3068 is greatH1419, and greatlyH3966 to be praisedH1984: he is to be fearedH3372 above all godsH430.
For all the godsH430 of the nationsH5971 are idolsH457: but the LORDH3068 madeH6213 the heavensH8064.
HonourH1935 and majestyH1926 are beforeH6440 him: strengthH5797 and beautyH8597 are in his sanctuaryH4720.
GiveH3051 unto the LORDH3068, O ye kindredsH4940 of the peopleH5971, giveH3051 unto the LORDH3068 gloryH3519 and strengthH5797.
GiveH3051 unto the LORDH3068 the gloryH3519 due unto his nameH8034: bringH5375 an offeringH4503, and comeH935 into his courtsH2691. {due…: Heb. of his name}
O worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944: fearH2342 beforeH6440 him, all the earthH776. {in the…: or, in the glorious sanctuary}
SayH559 among the heathenH1471 that the LORDH3068 reignethH4427: the worldH8398 also shall be establishedH3559 that it shall not be movedH4131: he shall judgeH1777 the peopleH5971 righteouslyH4339.
Let the heavensH8064 rejoiceH8055, and let the earthH776 be gladH1523; let the seaH3220 roarH7481, and the fulnessH4393 thereof. {the fulness…: or, all it containeth}
Let the fieldH7704 be joyfulH5937, and all that is therein: then shall all the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 rejoiceH7442
BeforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for he comethH935, for he comethH935 to judgeH8199 the earthH776: he shall judgeH8199 the worldH8398 with righteousnessH6664, and the peopleH5971 with his truthH530.
ForG1063 thenG5119 shall beG2071 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, such asG3634 wasG1096 notG3756 sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 to thisG2193 timeG3568, noG3761, nor everG3364 shall beG1096.
And at that timeH6256 shall MichaelH4317 stand upH5975, the greatH1419 princeH8269 which standethH5975 for the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971: and there shall beH1961 a timeH6256 of troubleH6869, such as never was since there was a nationH1471 even to that same timeH6256: and at that timeH6256 thy peopleH5971 shall be deliveredH4422, every one that shall be foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612.
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.
ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false ChristsG5580, andG2532 false prophetsG5578, andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059; insomuch thatG5620, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, they shall deceiveG4105 the veryG2532 electG1588.
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
WoeH1945 to the landH776 shadowingH6767 with wingsH3671, which is beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568:
That sendethH7971 ambassadorsH6735 by the seaH3220, even in vesselsH3627 of bulrushesH1573 uponH6440 the watersH4325, saying, GoH3212, ye swiftH7031 messengersH4397, to a nationH1471 scatteredH4900 and peeledH4178, to a peopleH5971 terribleH3372 from their beginning hithertoH1973; a nationH1471 meted outH6978 and trodden downH4001, whose landH776 the riversH5104 have spoiledH958! {scattered…: or, outspread and polished} {meted…: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have…: or, despise}
All ye inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, and dwellersH7931 on the earthH776, seeH7200 ye, when he lifteth upH5375 an ensignH5251 on the mountainsH2022; and when he blowethH8628 a trumpetH7782, hearH8085 ye.
For soH3541 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, I will take my restH8252, and I will considerH5027 in my dwelling placeH4349 like a clearH6703 heatH2527 upon herbsH216, and like a cloudH5645 of dewH2919 in the heatH2527 of harvestH7105. {consider…: or, regard my set dwelling} {upon…: or, after rain}
For aforeH6440 the harvestH7105, when the budH6525 is perfectH8552, and the sour grapeH1155 is ripeningH1580 in the flowerH5328, he shall both cut offH3772 the sprigsH2150 with pruning hooksH4211, and take awayH5493 and cut downH8456 the branchesH5189.
They shall be leftH5800 togetherH3162 unto the fowlsH5861 of the mountainsH2022, and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776: and the fowlsH5861 shall summerH6972 upon them, and all the beastsH929 of the earthH776 shall winterH2778 upon them.
In that timeH6256 shall the presentH7862 be broughtH2986 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 of a peopleH5971 scatteredH4900 and peeledH4178, and from a peopleH5971 terribleH3372 from their beginning hithertoH1973; a nationH1471 meted outH6978 and trodden under footH4001, whose landH776 the riversH5104 have spoiledH958, to the placeH4725 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the mountH2022 ZionH6726. {scattered…: or, outspread and polished}
And it shall come to pass, that in all the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, twoH8147 partsH6310 therein shall be cut offH3772 and dieH1478; but the thirdH7992 shall be leftH3498 therein.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
Now also manyH7227 nationsH1471 are gatheredH622 against thee, that sayH559, Let her be defiledH2610, and let our eyeH5869 lookH2372 upon ZionH6726.
But they knowH3045 not the thoughtsH4284 of the LORDH3068, neither understandH995 they his counselH6098: for he shall gatherH6908 them as the sheavesH5995 into the floorH1637.
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.
I amG1473 comeG2064 inG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 nameG3686, andG2532 ye receiveG2983 meG3165 notG3756: ifG1437 anotherG243 shall comeG2064 inG1722 his ownG2398 nameG3686, himG1565 ye will receiveG2983.
I am soughtH1875 of them that askedH7592 notH3808 for me; I am foundH4672 of them that soughtH1245 me notH3808: I saidH559, Behold me, behold me, unto a nationH1471 that was not calledH7121 by my nameH8034.
I have spread outH6566 my handsH3027 all the dayH3117 unto a rebelliousH5637 peopleH5971, which walkethH1980 in a wayH1870 that was not goodH2896, afterH310 their own thoughtsH4284;
A peopleH5971 that provoketh me to angerH3707 continuallyH8548 to my faceH6440; that sacrificethH2076 in gardensH1593, and burneth incenseH6999 upon altars of brickH3843; {upon…: Heb. upon bricks}
Which remainH3427 among the gravesH6913, and lodgeH3885 in the monumentsH5341, which eatH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and brothH4839+H6564 of abominableH6292 things is in their vesselsH3627; {broth: or, pieces}
Which sayH559, StandH7126 by thyself, come not nearH5066 to me; for I am holierH6942 than thou. These are a smokeH6227 in my noseH639, a fireH784 that burnethH3344 all the dayH3117. {nose: or, anger}
Behold, it is writtenH3789 beforeH6440 me: I will not keep silenceH2814, but will recompenseH7999, even recompenseH7999 into their bosomH2436,
Your iniquitiesH5771, and the iniquitiesH5771 of your fathersH1 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068, which have burned incenseH6999 upon the mountainsH2022, and blasphemedH2778 me upon the hillsH1389: therefore will I measureH4058 their formerH7223 workH6468 into their bosomH2436.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, As the new wineH8492 is foundH4672 in the clusterH811, and one saithH559, DestroyH7843 it not; for a blessingH1293 is in it: so will I doH6213 for my servants'H5650 sakes, that I may not destroyH7843 them all.
And I will bring forthH3318 a seedH2233 out of JacobH3290, and out of JudahH3063 an inheritorH3423 of my mountainsH2022: and mine electH972 shall inheritH3423 it, and my servantsH5650 shall dwellH7931 there.
And SharonH8289 shall be a foldH5116 of flocksH6629, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 a place for the herdsH1241 to lie down inH7258, for my peopleH5971 that have soughtH1875 me.
But ye are they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, that forgetH7913 my holyH6944 mountainH2022, that prepareH6186 a tableH7979 for that troopH1409+H1408, and that furnishH4390 the drink offeringH4469 unto that numberH4507. {troop: or, Gad} {number: or, Meni, a pagan god}
Therefore will I numberH4487 you to the swordH2719, and ye shall all bow downH3766 to the slaughterH2874: because when I calledH7121, ye did not answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, ye did not hearH8085; but didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and did chooseH977 that wherein I delightedH2654 not.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, my servantsH5650 shall eatH398, but ye shall be hungryH7456: behold, my servantsH5650 shall drinkH8354, but ye shall be thirstyH6770: behold, my servantsH5650 shall rejoiceH8055, but ye shall be ashamedH954:
Behold, my servantsH5650 shall singH7442 for joyH2898 of heartH3820, but ye shall cryH6817 for sorrowH3511 of heartH3820, and shall howlH3213 for vexationH7667 of spiritH7307. {vexation: Heb. breaking}
And ye shall leaveH3240 your nameH8034 for a curseH7621 unto my chosenH972: for the LordH136 GODH3069 shall slayH4191 thee, and callH7121 his servantsH5650 by anotherH312 nameH8034:
That he who blessethH1288 himself in the earthH776 shall blessH1288 himself in the GodH430 of truthH543; and he that swearethH7650 in the earthH776 shall swearH7650 by the GodH430 of truthH543; because the formerH7223 troublesH6869 are forgottenH7911, and because they are hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869.
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
But be ye gladH7797 and rejoiceH1523 for everH5703 in that which I createH1254: for, behold, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 a rejoicingH1525, and her peopleH5971 a joyH4885.
And I will rejoiceH1523 in JerusalemH3389, and joyH7797 in my peopleH5971: and the voiceH6963 of weepingH1065 shall be no more heardH8085 in her, nor the voiceH6963 of cryingH2201.
There shall be no more thence an infantH5764 of daysH3117, nor an old manH2205 that hath not filledH4390 his daysH3117: for the childH5288 shall dieH4191 an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121; but the sinnerH2398 being an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shall be accursedH7043.
And they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
They shall not buildH1129, and anotherH312 inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and anotherH312 eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086 the workH4639 of their handsH3027. {shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
They shall not labourH3021 in vainH7385, nor bring forthH3205 for troubleH928; for they are the seedH2233 of the blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068, and their offspringH6631 with them.
And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yet speakingH1696, I will hearH8085.
The wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 shall feedH7462 togetherH259, and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the bullockH1241: and dustH6083 shall be the serpent'sH5175 meatH3899. They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The heavenH8064 is my throneH3678, and the earthH776 is my footstoolH7272+H1916: where is the houseH1004 that ye buildH1129 unto me? and where is the placeH4725 of my restH4496?
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
He that killethH7819 an oxH7794 is as if he slewH5221 a manH376; he that sacrificethH2076 a lambH7716, as if he cut offH6202 a dog'sH3611 neckH6202; he that offerethH5927 an oblationH4503, as if he offered swine'sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burnethH2142 incenseH3828, as if he blessedH1288 an idolH205. Yea, they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delightethH2654 in their abominationsH8251. {lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will chooseH977 their delusionsH8586, and will bringH935 their fearsH4035 upon them; because when I calledH7121, none did answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, they did not hearH8085: but they didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that in which I delightedH2654 not. {delusions: or, devices}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye that trembleH2730 at his wordH1697; Your brethrenH251 that hatedH8130 you, that cast you outH5077 for my name'sH8034 sake, saidH559, Let the LORDH3068 be glorifiedH3513: but he shall appearH7200 to your joyH8057, and they shall be ashamedH954.
A voiceH6963 of noiseH7588 from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 that renderethH7999 recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341.
Before she travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205; before her painH2256 cameH935, she was deliveredH4422 of a man childH2145.
Who hath heardH8085 such a thing? who hath seenH7200 such things? Shall the earthH776 be made to bring forthH2342 in oneH259 dayH3117? or shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205 at onceH6471? for as soon asH1571 ZionH6726 travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205 her childrenH1121.
Shall I bring to the birthH7665, and not cause to bring forthH3205? saithH559 the LORDH3068: shall IH589 cause to bring forthH3205, and shutH6113 the womb? saithH559 thy GodH430. {not…: or, not beget?}
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
That ye may suckH3243, and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of her consolationsH8575; that ye may milk outH4711, and be delightedH6026 with the abundanceH2123 of her gloryH3519. {abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the GentilesH1471 like a flowingH7857 streamH5158: then shall ye suckH3243, ye shall be borneH5375 upon her sidesH6654, and be dandledH8173 upon her kneesH1290.
As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comfortethH5162, so will I comfortH5162 you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.
And when ye seeH7200 this, your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourishH6524 like an herbH1877: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 toward his servantsH5650, and his indignationH2194 toward his enemiesH341.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784, and with his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwindH5492, to renderH7725 his angerH639 with furyH2534, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.
For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will the LORDH3068 pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be manyH7231.
They that sanctifyH6942 themselves, and purifyH2891 themselves in the gardensH1593 behindH310 oneH259 tree in the midstH8432, eatingH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and the abominationH8263, and the mouseH5909, shall be consumedH5486 togetherH3162, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {behind…: or, one after another}
For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: it shall comeH935, that I will gatherH6908 all nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and seeH7200 my gloryH3519.
And I will setH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 those that escapeH6412 of them unto the nationsH1471, to TarshishH8659, PulH6322, and LudH3865, that drawH4900 the bowH7198, to TubalH8422, and JavanH3120, to the islesH339 afar offH7350, that have not heardH8085 my fameH8088, neither have seenH7200 my gloryH3519; and they shall declareH5046 my gloryH3519 among the GentilesH1471.
And they shall bringH935 all your brethrenH251 for an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in littersH6632, and upon mulesH6505, and upon swift beastsH3753, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saithH559 the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {litters: or, coaches}
And I will also takeH3947 of them for priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
And it shall come to pass, that fromH1767 one new moonH2320 to anotherH2320, and fromH1767 one sabbathH7676 to anotherH7676, shall all fleshH1320 comeH935 to worshipH7812 beforeH6440 me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forthH3318, and lookH7200 upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586 against me: for their wormH8438 shall not dieH4191, neither shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all fleshH1320.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against GogH1463, the landH776 of MagogH4031, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422, and prophesyH5012 against him, {the chief…: or, prince of the chief}
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and putH5414 hooksH2397 into thy jawsH3895, and I will bring thee forthH3318, and all thine armyH2428, horsesH5483 and horsemenH6571, all of them clothedH3847 with all sortsH4358 of armour, even a greatH7227 companyH6951 with bucklersH6793 and shieldsH4043, all of them handlingH8610 swordsH2719:
PersiaH6539, EthiopiaH3568, and LibyaH6316 with them; all of them with shieldH4043 and helmetH3553: {Libya: or, Phut}
GomerH1586, and all his bandsH102; the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 of the northH6828 quartersH3411, and all his bandsH102: and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Be thou preparedH3559, and prepareH3559 for thyself, thou, and all thy companyH6951 that are assembledH6950 unto thee, and be thou a guardH4929 unto them.
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And he shall confirmH1396 the covenantH1285 with manyH7227 for oneH259 weekH7620: and in the midstH2677 of the weekH7620 he shall cause the sacrificeH2077 and the oblationH4503 to ceaseH7673, and for the overspreadingH3671 of abominationsH8251 he shall make it desolateH8074, even until the consummationH3617, and that determinedH2782 shall be pouredH5413 upon the desolateH8074. {the covenant: or, a covenant} {for the…: or, with the abominable armies} {the desolate: or, the desolator}
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH1348, to the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, whose gloriousH6643 beautyH8597 is a fadingH5034 flowerH6731, which are on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleysH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986 with wineH3196! {overcome: Heb. broken}
Behold, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strong oneH533, which as a tempestH2230 of hailH1259 and a destroyingH6986 stormH8178, as a floodH2230 of mightyH3524 watersH4325 overflowingH7857, shall cast downH3240 to the earthH776 with the handH3027.
The crownH5850 of prideH1348, the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, shall be troddenH7429 under feetH7272: {under…: Heb. with feet}
And the gloriousH6643 beautyH8597, which is on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleyH1516, shall be a fadingH5034 flowerH6733, and as the hasty fruitH1061 before the summerH7019; which when he that lookethH7200 upon it seethH7200, while it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH1104. {eateth: Heb. swalloweth}
In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 be for a crownH5850 of gloryH6643, and for a diademH6843 of beautyH8597, unto the residueH7605 of his peopleH5971,
And for a spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941 to him that sittethH3427 in judgmentH4941, and for strengthH1369 to them that turnH7725 the battleH4421 to the gateH8179.
But theyH428 also have erredH7686 through wineH3196, and through strong drinkH7941 are out of the wayH8582; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686 through strong drinkH7941, they are swallowed upH1104 ofH4480 wineH3196, they are out of the wayH8582 through strong drinkH7941; they errH7686 in visionH7203, they stumbleH6328 in judgmentH6417.
For all tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of vomitH6892 and filthinessH6675, so that there is no placeH4725 clean.
Whom shall he teachH3384 knowledgeH1844? and whom shall he make to understandH995 doctrineH8052? them that are weanedH1580 from the milkH2461, and drawnH6267 from the breastsH7699. {doctrine: Heb. the hearing?}
For preceptH6673 must be upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191: {must be: or, hath been}
For with stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971. {stammering…: Heb. stammerings of lip} {will…: or, he hath spoken}
To whom he saidH559, This is the restH4496 wherewith ye may cause the wearyH5889 to restH5117; and this is the refreshingH4774: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085.
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was unto them preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191; that they might goH3212, and fallH3782 backwardH268, and be brokenH7665, and snaredH3369, and takenH3920.
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.
Give ye earH238, and hearH8085 my voiceH6963; hearkenH7181, and hearH8085 my speechH565.
Doth the plowmanH2790 plowH2790 all dayH3117 to sowH2232? doth he openH6605 and break the clodsH7702 of his groundH127?
When he hath made plainH7737 the faceH6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroadH6327 the fitchesH7100, and scatterH2236 the cumminH3646, and castH7760 in the principalH7795 wheatH2406 and the appointedH5567 barleyH8184 and the rieH3698 in their placeH1367? {the principal…: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}
For his GodH430 doth instructH3256 him to discretionH4941, and doth teachH3384 him. {For…: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}
For the fitchesH7100 are not threshedH1758 with a threshing instrumentH2742, neither is a cartH5699 wheelH212 turned aboutH5437 upon the cumminH3646; but the fitchesH7100 are beaten outH2251 with a staffH4294, and the cumminH3646 with a rodH7626.
BreadH3899 corn is bruisedH1854; because he will not everH5331 be threshingH156+H1758 it, nor breakH2000 it with the wheelH1536 of his cartH5699, nor bruiseH1854 it with his horsemenH6571.
This also cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which is wonderfulH6381 in counselH6098, and excellentH1431 in workingH8454.
That I will breakH7665 the AssyrianH804 in my landH776, and upon my mountainsH2022 tread him under footH947: then shall his yokeH5923 departH5493 from off them, and his burdenH5448 departH5493 from off their shouldersH7926.
And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120. {principal: Heb. princes of}
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.
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
Mine angerH639 was kindledH2734 against the shepherdsH7462, and I punishedH6485 the goatsH6260: for the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath visitedH6485 his flockH5739 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and hath madeH7760 them as his goodlyH1935 horseH5483 in the battleH4421. {punished: Heb. visited upon}
Thou art my battle axeH4661 and weaponsH3627 of warH4421: for with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the nationsH1471, and with thee will I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467; {with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the chariotH7393 and his riderH7392;
And one shall sayH559 unto him, What are these woundsH4347 in thine handsH3027? Then he shall answerH559, Those with which I was woundedH5221 in the houseH1004 of my friendsH157.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against GogH1463, the landH776 of MagogH4031, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422, and prophesyH5012 against him, {the chief…: or, prince of the chief}
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and putH5414 hooksH2397 into thy jawsH3895, and I will bring thee forthH3318, and all thine armyH2428, horsesH5483 and horsemenH6571, all of them clothedH3847 with all sortsH4358 of armour, even a greatH7227 companyH6951 with bucklersH6793 and shieldsH4043, all of them handlingH8610 swordsH2719:
PersiaH6539, EthiopiaH3568, and LibyaH6316 with them; all of them with shieldH4043 and helmetH3553: {Libya: or, Phut}
GomerH1586, and all his bandsH102; the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 of the northH6828 quartersH3411, and all his bandsH102: and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Be thou preparedH3559, and prepareH3559 for thyself, thou, and all thy companyH6951 that are assembledH6950 unto thee, and be thou a guardH4929 unto them.
After manyH7227 daysH3117 thou shalt be visitedH6485: in the latterH319 yearsH8141 thou shalt comeH935 into the landH776 that is brought backH7725 from the swordH2719, and is gatheredH6908 out of manyH7227 peopleH5971, against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, which have been alwaysH8548 wasteH2723: but it is brought forthH3318 out of the nationsH5971, and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 all of them.
Thou shalt ascendH5927 and comeH935 like a stormH7722, thou shalt be like a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; It shall also come to pass, that at the same timeH3117 shall thingsH1697 comeH5927 into thy mindH3824, and thou shalt thinkH2803 an evilH7451 thoughtH4284: {think…: or, conceive a mischievous purpose}
And thou shalt sayH559, I will go upH5927 to the landH776 of unwalled villagesH6519; I will goH935 to them that are at restH8252, that dwellH3427 safelyH983, all of them dwellingH3427 without wallsH2346, and having neither barsH1280 nor gatesH1817, {safely: or, confidently}
To takeH7997 a spoilH7998, and to takeH962 a preyH957; to turnH7725 thine handH3027 upon the desolate placesH2723 that are now inhabitedH3427, and upon the peopleH5971 that are gatheredH622 out of the nationsH1471, which have gottenH6213 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, that dwellH3427 in the midstH2872 of the landH776. {To take…: Heb. To spoil the spoil, and to prey the prey} {midst: Heb. navel}
ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719, and the merchantsH5503 of TarshishH8659, with all the young lionsH3715 thereof, shall sayH559 unto thee, Art thou comeH935 to takeH7997 a spoilH7998? hast thou gatheredH6950 thy companyH6951 to takeH962 a preyH957? to carry awayH5375 silverH3701 and goldH2091, to take awayH3947 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, to takeH7997 a greatH1419 spoilH7998?
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto GogH1463, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In that dayH3117 when my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dwellethH3427 safelyH983, shalt thou not knowH3045 it?
And thou shalt comeH935 from thy placeH4725 out of the northH6828 partsH3411, thou, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, a greatH1419 companyH6951, and a mightyH7227 armyH2428:
And thou shalt come upH5927 against my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, as a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776; it shall be in the latterH319 daysH3117, and I will bringH935 thee against my landH776, that the heathenH1471 may knowH3045 me, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in thee, O GogH1463, before their eyesH5869.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Art thou he of whom I have spokenH1696 in oldH6931 timeH3117 byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478, which prophesiedH5012 in those daysH3117 many yearsH8141 that I would bringH935 thee against them? {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it shall come to pass at the same timeH3117 whenH3117 GogH1463 shall comeH935 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that my furyH2534 shall come upH5927 in my faceH639.
For in my jealousyH7068 and in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678 have I spokenH1696, Surely in that dayH3117 there shall be a greatH1419 shakingH7494 in the landH127 of IsraelH3478;
So that the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and all creeping thingsH7431 that creepH7430 upon the earthH127, and all the menH120 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127, shall shakeH7493 at my presenceH6440, and the mountainsH2022 shall be thrown downH2040, and the steep placesH4095 shall fallH5307, and every wallH2346 shall fallH5307 to the groundH776. {steep…: or, towers, or, stairs}
And I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 against him throughout all my mountainsH2022, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: every man'sH376 swordH2719 shall be against his brotherH251.
And I will pleadH8199 against him with pestilenceH1698 and with bloodH1818; and I will rainH4305 upon him, and upon his bandsH102, and upon the manyH7227 peopleH5971 that are with him, an overflowingH7857 rainH1653, and great hailstonesH417+H68, fireH784, and brimstoneH1614.
Thus will I magnifyH1431 myself, and sanctifyH6942 myself; and I will be knownH3045 in the eyesH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471, and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against GogH1463, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and leave but the sixth partH8338 of thee, and will cause thee to come upH5927 from the northH6828 partsH3411, and will bringH935 thee upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478: {leave…: or, strike thee with six plagues: or, draw thee back with an hook of six teeth} {the north…: Heb. the sides of the north}
And I will smiteH5221 thy bowH7198 out of thy leftH8040 handH3027, and will cause thine arrowsH2671 to fallH5307 out of thy rightH3225 handH3027.
Thou shalt fallH5307 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and the peopleH5971 that is with thee: I will giveH5414 thee unto the ravenousH5861 birdsH6833 of every sortH3671, and to the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 to be devouredH402. {sort: Heb. wing} {to be…: Heb. to devour}
Thou shalt fallH5307 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {the open…: Heb. the face of the field}
And I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on MagogH4031, and among them that dwellH3427 carelesslyH983 in the islesH339: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {carelessly: or, confidently}
So will I make my holyH6944 nameH8034 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not let them polluteH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034 any more: and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 in IsraelH3478.
Behold, it is comeH935, and it is doneH1961, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069; this is the dayH3117 whereof I have spokenH1696.
And they that dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478 shall go forthH3318, and shall setH1197 on fireH784 and burnH5400 the weaponsH5402, both the shieldsH4043 and the bucklersH6793, the bowsH7198 and the arrowsH2671, and the handstavesH3027+H4731, and the spearsH7420, and they shall burnH1197 them with fireH784 sevenH7651 yearsH8141: {handstaves: or, javelins} {burn them…: or, make a fire of them}
So that they shall takeH5375 no woodH6086 out of the fieldH7704, neither cut downH2404 any out of the forestsH3293; for they shall burnH1197 the weaponsH5402 with fireH784: and they shall spoilH7997 those that spoiledH7997 them, and robH962 those that robbedH962 them, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will giveH5414 unto GogH1463 a placeH4725 there of gravesH6913 in IsraelH3478, the valleyH1516 of the passengersH5674 on the eastH6926 of the seaH3220: and it shall stopH2629 the noses of the passengersH5674: and there shall they buryH6912 GogH1463 and all his multitudeH1995: and they shall callH7121 it The valleyH1516 of HamongogH1996. {noses: or, mouths} {Hamongog: that is, The multitude of Gog}
And sevenH7651 monthsH2320 shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 be buryingH6912 of them, that they may cleanseH2891 the landH776.
Yea, all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall buryH6912 them; and it shall be to them a renownH8034 the dayH3117 that I shall be glorifiedH3513, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And they shall sever outH914 menH582 of continual employmentH8548, passing throughH5674 the landH776 to buryH6912 with the passengersH5674 those that remainH3498 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776, to cleanseH2891 it: after the endH7097 of sevenH7651 monthsH2320 shall they searchH2713. {men…: Heb. men of continuance}
And the passengersH5674 that pass throughH5674 the landH776, when any seethH7200 a man'sH120 boneH6106, then shall he set upH1129 a signH6725 byH681 it, till the buriersH6912 have buriedH6912 it in the valleyH1516 of HamongogH1996. {set up: Heb. build}
And also the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 shall be HamonahH1997. Thus shall they cleanseH2891 the landH776. {Hamonah: that is, The multitude}
And, thou sonH1121 of manH120, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; SpeakH559 unto every featheredH3671 fowlH6833, and to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, AssembleH6908 yourselves, and comeH935; gatherH622 yourselves on every sideH5439 to my sacrificeH2077 that I do sacrificeH2076 for you, even a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, that ye may eatH398 fleshH1320, and drinkH8354 bloodH1818. {unto…: Heb. to the fowl of every wing} {my sacrifice: or, my slaughter}
Ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the mightyH1368, and drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the princesH5387 of the earthH776, of ramsH352, of lambsH3733, and of goatsH6260, of bullocksH6499, all of them fatlingsH4806 of BashanH1316. {goats: Heb. great goats}
And ye shall eatH398 fatH2459 till ye be fullH7654, and drinkH8354 bloodH1818 till ye be drunkenH7943, of my sacrificeH2077 which I have sacrificedH2076 for you.
Thus ye shall be filledH7646 at my tableH7979 with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, with mighty menH1368, and with all menH376 of warH4421, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will setH5414 my gloryH3519 among the heathenH1471, and all the heathenH1471 shall seeH7200 my judgmentH4941 that I have executedH6213, and my handH3027 that I have laidH7760 upon them.
So the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 went into captivityH1540 for their iniquityH5771: because they trespassedH4603 against me, therefore hidH5641 I my faceH6440 from them, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862: so fellH5307 they all by the swordH2719.
According to their uncleannessH2932 and according to their transgressionsH6588 have I doneH6213 unto them, and hidH5641 my faceH6440 from them.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Now will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JacobH3290, and have mercyH7355 upon the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and will be jealousH7065 for my holyH6944 nameH8034;
After that they have borneH5375 their shameH3639, and all their trespassesH4604 whereby they have trespassedH4603 against me, when they dweltH3427 safelyH983 in their landH127, and none made them afraidH2729.
When I have brought them againH7725 from the peopleH5971, and gatheredH6908 them out of their enemies'H341 landsH776, and am sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471;
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which caused them to be led into captivityH1540 among the heathenH1471: but I have gatheredH3664 them unto their own landH127, and have leftH3498 none of them any more there. {which…: Heb. by my causing of them, etc}
Neither will I hideH5641 my faceH6440 any more from them: for I have poured outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. {feed or, rule}
And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120. {principal: Heb. princes of}
And they shall wasteH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935 into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869 within our bordersH1366. {waste: Heb. eat up} {in the…: or, with her own naked swords}
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORDH3068, as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212, that tarriethH6960 not for manH376, nor waitethH3176 for the sonsH1121 of menH120.
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, as a young lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629: who, if he go throughH5674, both treadeth downH7429, and teareth in piecesH2963, and none can deliverH5337. {sheep: or, goats}
Thine handH3027 shall be lifted upH7311 upon thine adversariesH6862, and all thine enemiesH341 shall be cut offH3772.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will cut offH3772 thy horsesH5483 out of the midstH7130 of thee, and I will destroyH6 thy chariotsH4818:
And I will cut offH3772 the citiesH6145+H5892 of thy landH776, and throw downH2040 all thy strong holdsH4013:
And I will cut offH3772 witchcraftsH3785 out of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayersH6049:
Thy graven imagesH6456 also will I cut offH3772, and thy standing imagesH4676 out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worshipH7812 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. {standing…: or, statues}
And I will pluck upH5428 thy grovesH842 out of the midstH7130 of thee: so will I destroyH8045 thy citiesH6145+H5892. {cities: or, enemies}
And I will executeH6213 vengeanceH5359 in angerH639 and furyH2534 upon the heathenH1471, such as they have not heardH8085.
In that dayH3117 there shall be a fountainH4726 openedH6605 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 for sinH2403 and for uncleannessH5079. {uncleanness: Heb. separation for uncleanness}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that I will cut offH3772 the namesH8034 of the idolsH6091 out of the landH776, and they shall no more be rememberedH2142: and also I will cause the prophetsH5030 and the uncleanH2932 spiritH7307 to passH5674 out of the landH776.
And it shall come to pass, that when anyH376 shall yet prophesyH5012, then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall sayH559 unto him, Thou shalt not liveH2421; for thou speakestH1696 liesH8267 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall thrustH1856 him through when he prophesiethH5012.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the prophetsH5030 shall be ashamedH954 every oneH376 of his visionH2384, when he hath prophesiedH5012; neither shall they wearH3847 a roughH8181 garmentH155 to deceiveH3584: {a rough…: Heb. a garment of hair} {deceive: Heb. lie}
But he shall sayH559, I am no prophetH5030, I am an husbandmanH376+H5647+H127; for manH120 taught me to keep cattleH7069 from my youthH5271.
And one shall sayH559 unto him, What are these woundsH4347 in thine handsH3027? Then he shall answerH559, Those with which I was woundedH5221 in the houseH1004 of my friendsH157.
AwakeH5782, O swordH2719, against my shepherdH7462, and against the manH1397 that is my fellowH5997, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: smiteH5221 the shepherdH7462, and the sheepH6629 shall be scatteredH6327: and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 upon the little onesH6819.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, twoH8147 partsH6310 therein shall be cut offH3772 and dieH1478; but the thirdH7992 shall be leftH3498 therein.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
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.
Then shall the LORDH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
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.
And ye shall fleeH5127 to the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022; for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 shall reachH5060 unto AzalH682: yea, ye shall fleeH5127, like as ye fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: and the LORDH3068 my GodH430 shall comeH935, and all the saintsH6918 with thee. {the mountains: or, my mountains} {for the…: or, when he shall touch the valley of the mountains to the place he separated}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the lightH216 shall not be clearH3368, nor darkH7087+H7087: {that the…: that is, it shall not be clear in some places, and dark in other places of the world} {clear: Heb. precious} {dark: Heb. thickness}
But it shall be oneH259 dayH3117 which shall be knownH3045 to the LORDH3068, not dayH3117, nor nightH3915: but it shall come to pass, that at eveningH6153 timeH6256 it shall be lightH216. {it shall be…: or, the day shall be one}
And it shall be in that dayH3117, that livingH2416 watersH4325 shall go outH3318 from JerusalemH3389; halfH2677 of them toward the formerH6931 seaH3220, and halfH2677 of them toward the hinderH314 seaH3220: in summerH7019 and in winterH2779 shall it be. {former: or, eastern}
And the LORDH3068 shall be kingH4428 over all the earthH776: in that dayH3117 shall there be oneH259 LORDH3068, and his nameH8034 oneH259.
All the landH776 shall be turnedH5437 as a plainH6160 from GebaH1387 to RimmonH7417 southH5045 of JerusalemH3389: and it shall be lifted upH7213, and inhabitedH3427 in her place, from Benjamin'sH1144 gateH8179 unto the placeH4725 of the firstH7223 gateH8179, unto the cornerH6434 gateH8179, and from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the king'sH4428 winepressesH3342. {turned: or, compassed} {inhabited: or, shall abide}
And men shall dwellH3427 in it, and there shall be no more utter destructionH2764; but JerusalemH3389 shall be safelyH983 inhabitedH3427. {shall be: or, shall abide}
And this shall be the plagueH4046 wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 all the peopleH5971 that have foughtH6633 against JerusalemH3389; Their fleshH1320 shall consume awayH4743 while they standH5975 upon their feetH7272, and their eyesH5869 shall consume awayH4743 in their holesH2356, and their tongueH3956 shall consume awayH4743 in their mouthH6310.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a greatH7227 tumultH4103 from the LORDH3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay holdH2388 every oneH376 on the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453, and his handH3027 shall rise upH5927 against the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453.
And JudahH3063 also shall fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the wealthH2428 of all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439 shall be gathered togetherH622, goldH2091, and silverH3701, and apparelH899, in greatH3966 abundanceH7230. {Judah…: or, thou also, O Judah shalt} {at: or, against}
And so shall be the plagueH4046 of the horseH5483, of the muleH6505, of the camelH1581, and of the assH2543, and of all the beastsH929 that shall be in theseH1992 tentsH4264, as this plagueH4046.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 of all the nationsH1471 which cameH935 against JerusalemH3389 shall even go upH5927 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
And it shall be, that whoso will not come upH5927 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 unto JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, even upon them shall be no rainH1653.
And if the familyH4940 of EgyptH4714 go not upH5927, and comeH935 not, that have no rain; there shall be the plagueH4046, wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 the heathenH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {that have no: Heb. upon whom there is not}
This shall be the punishmentH2403 of EgyptH4714, and the punishmentH2403 of all nationsH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {punishment: or, sin}
In that dayH3117 shall there be upon the bellsH4698 of the horsesH5483, HOLINESSH6944 UNTO THE LORDH3068; and the potsH5518 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be like the bowlsH4219 beforeH6440 the altarH4196. {bells: or, bridles}
Yea, every potH5518 in JerusalemH3389 and in JudahH3063 shall be holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and all they that sacrificeH2076 shall comeH935 and takeH3947 of them, and seetheH1310 therein: and in that dayH3117 there shall be no more the CanaaniteH3669 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
O LORDH3068, thou art my GodH430; I will exaltH7311 thee, I will praiseH3034 thy nameH8034; for thou hast doneH6213 wonderfulH6382 things; thy counselsH6098 of oldH7350 are faithfulnessH530 and truthH544.
For thou hast madeH7760 of a cityH5892 an heapH1530; of a defencedH1219 cityH7151 a ruinH4654: a palaceH759 of strangersH2114 to be no cityH5892; it shall neverH5769 be builtH1129.
Therefore shall the strongH5794 peopleH5971 glorifyH3513 thee, the cityH7151 of the terribleH6184 nationsH1471 shall fearH3372 thee.
For thou hast been a strengthH4581 to the poorH1800, a strengthH4581 to the needyH34 in his distressH6862, a refugeH4268 from the stormH2230, a shadowH6738 from the heatH2721, when the blastH7307 of the terrible onesH6184 is as a stormH2230 against the wallH7023.
Thou shalt bring downH3665 the noiseH7588 of strangersH2114, as the heatH2721 in a dry placeH6724; even the heatH2721 with the shadowH6738 of a cloudH5645: the branchH2159 of the terrible onesH6184 shall be brought lowH6030.
And in this mountainH2022 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 makeH6213 unto all peopleH5971 a feastH4960 of fat thingsH8081, a feastH4960 of wines on the leesH8105, of fat thingsH8081 full of marrowH4229, of wines on the leesH8105 well refinedH2212.
And he will destroyH1104 in this mountainH2022 the faceH6440 of the coveringH3875 cast overH3874 all peopleH5971, and the vailH4541 that is spreadH5259 over all nationsH1471. {destroy: Heb. swallow up} {cast: Heb. covered}
He will swallow upH1104 deathH4194 in victoryH5331; and the LordH136 GODH3069 will wipe awayH4229 tearsH1832 from off all facesH6440; and the rebukeH2781 of his peopleH5971 shall he take awayH5493 from off all the earthH776: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
And it shall be saidH559 in that dayH3117, Lo, this is our GodH430; we have waitedH6960 for him, and he will saveH3467 us: this is the LORDH3068; we have waitedH6960 for him, we will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in his salvationH3444.
For in this mountainH2022 shall the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 restH5117, and MoabH4124 shall be trodden downH1758 under him, even as strawH4963 is trodden downH1758 for the dunghillH1119+H4087+H4325. {trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for…: or, threshed in Madmenah}
And he shall spread forthH6566 his handsH3027 in the midstH7130 of them, as he that swimmethH7811 spreadeth forthH6566 his hands to swimH7811: and he shall bring downH8213 their prideH1346 together with the spoilsH698 of their handsH3027.
And the fortressH4013 of the high fortH4869 of thy wallsH2346 shall he bring downH7817, lay lowH8213, and bringH5060 to the groundH776, even to the dustH6083.
In that dayH3117 shall this songH7892 be sungH7891 in the landH776 of JudahH3063; We have a strongH5797 cityH5892; salvationH3444 will God appointH7896 for wallsH2346 and bulwarksH2426.
OpenH6605 ye the gatesH8179, that the righteousH6662 nationH1471 which keepethH8104 the truthH529 may enter inH935. {truth: Heb. truths}
Thou wilt keepH5341 him in perfectH7965 peaceH7965, whose mindH3336 is stayedH5564 on thee: because he trustethH982 in thee. {perfect…: Heb. peace, peace} {mind: or, thought, or, imagination}
TrustH982 ye in the LORDH3068 for everH5703: for in the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is everlastingH5769 strengthH6697: {everlasting…: Heb. the rock of ages}
For he bringeth downH7817 them that dwellH3427 on highH4791; the loftyH7682 cityH7151, he layeth it lowH8213; he layeth it lowH8213, even to the groundH776; he bringethH5060 it even to the dustH6083.
The footH7272 shall tread it downH7429, even the feetH7272 of the poorH6041, and the stepsH6471 of the needyH1800.
The wayH734 of the justH6662 is uprightnessH4339: thou, most uprightH3477, dost weighH6424 the pathH4570 of the justH6662.
Yea, in the wayH734 of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068, have we waitedH6960 for thee; the desireH8378 of our soulH5315 is to thy nameH8034, and to the remembranceH2143 of thee.
With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 will learnH3925 righteousnessH6664.
Let favour be shewedH2603 to the wickedH7563, yet will he notH1077 learnH3925 righteousnessH6664: in the landH776 of uprightnessH5229 will he deal unjustlyH5765, and will notH1077 beholdH7200 the majestyH1348 of the LORDH3068.
LORDH3068, when thy handH3027 is lifted upH7311, they will not seeH2372: but they shall seeH2372, and be ashamedH954 for their envyH7068 at the peopleH5971; yea, the fireH784 of thine enemiesH6862 shall devourH398 them. {at…: or, toward thy people}
LORDH3068, thou wilt ordainH8239 peaceH7965 for us: for thou also hast wroughtH6466 all our worksH4639 in us. {in us: or, for us}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, other lordsH113 besideH2108 thee have had dominionH1166 over us: but by thee only will we make mentionH2142 of thy nameH8034.
They are deadH4191, they shall not liveH2421; they are deceasedH7496, they shall not riseH6965: therefore hast thou visitedH6485 and destroyedH8045 them, and made all their memoryH2143 to perishH6.
Thou hast increasedH3254 the nationH1471, O LORDH3068, thou hast increasedH3254 the nationH1471: thou art glorifiedH3513: thou hadst removed it farH7368 unto all the endsH7099 of the earthH776.
LORDH3068, in troubleH6862 have they visitedH6485 thee, they poured outH6694 a prayerH3908 when thy chasteningH4148 was upon them. {prayer: Heb. secret speech}
LikeH3644 as a woman with childH2030, that draweth nearH7126 the time of her deliveryH3205, is in painH2342, and crieth outH2199 in her pangsH2256; so have we been in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068.
We have been with childH2029, we have been in painH2342, we have as it wereH3644 brought forthH3205 windH7307; we have not wroughtH6213 any deliveranceH3444 in the earthH776; neitherH1077 have the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 fallenH5307.
Thy deadH4191 men shall liveH2421, together with my dead bodyH5038 shall they ariseH6965. AwakeH6974 and singH7442, ye that dwellH7931 in dustH6083: for thy dewH2919 is as the dewH2919 of herbsH219, and the earthH776 shall cast outH5307 the deadH7496.
ComeH3212, my peopleH5971, enterH935 thou into thy chambersH2315, and shutH5462 thy doorsH1817 about thee: hideH2247 thyself as it were for a littleH4592 momentH7281, until the indignationH2195 be overpastH5674.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh outH3318 of his placeH4725 to punishH6485 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall discloseH1540 her bloodH1818, and shall no more coverH3680 her slainH2026. {blood: Heb. bloods}
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.
Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
HoH1945, hoH1945, come forth, and fleeH5127 from the landH776 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I have spread you abroadH6566 as the fourH702 windsH7307 of the heavenH8064, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came to me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I was jealousH7065 for ZionH6726 with greatH1419 jealousyH7068, and I was jealousH7065 for her with greatH1419 furyH2534.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 unto ZionH6726, and will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and JerusalemH3389 shall be calledH7121 a cityH5892 of truthH571; and the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 the holyH6944 mountainH2022.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; There shall yet old menH2205 and old womenH2205 dwellH3427 in the streetsH7339 of JerusalemH3389, and every manH376 with his staffH4938 in his handH3027 for veryH7230 ageH3117. {very…: Heb. multitude of days}
And the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892 shall be fullH4390 of boysH3206 and girlsH3207 playingH7832 in the streetsH7339 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; If it be marvellousH6381 in the eyesH5869 of the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 in these daysH3117, should it also be marvellousH6381 in mine eyesH5869? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {marvellous: or, hard, or, difficult}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Behold, I will saveH3467 my peopleH5971 from the eastH4217 countryH776, and from the westH3996+H8121 countryH776; {the west…: Heb. the country of the going down of the sun}
And I will bringH935 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430, in truthH571 and in righteousnessH6666.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in these daysH3117 these wordsH1697 by the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, which were in the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 was laidH3245, that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129.
For beforeH6440 these daysH3117 there wasH1961 no hireH7939 for manH120, nor any hireH7939 for beastH929; neither was there any peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318 or came inH935 because of the afflictionH6862: for I setH7971 all menH120 every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453. {there was…: or, the hire of man became nothing}
But now I will not be unto the residueH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
For the seedH2233 shall be prosperousH7965; the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 her fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 her increaseH2981, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to possessH5157 all these things. {prosperous: Heb. of peace}
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curseH7045 among the heathenH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so will I saveH3467 you, and ye shall be a blessingH1293: fearH3372 not, but let your handsH3027 be strongH2388.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; As I thoughtH2161 to punishH7489 you, when your fathersH1 provoked me to wrathH7107, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I repentedH5162 not:
So againH7725 have I thoughtH2161 in these daysH3117 to do wellH3190 unto JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fearH3372 ye not.
These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall doH6213; SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 to his neighbourH7453; executeH8199 the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179: {execute…: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}
And let noneH376 of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighbourH7453; and loveH157 no falseH8267 oathH7621: for all these are things that I hateH8130, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came unto me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall comeH935 peopleH5971, and the inhabitantsH3427 of manyH7227 citiesH5892:
And the inhabitantsH3427 of oneH259 city shall goH1980 to anotherH259, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 speedilyH1980 to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: I will goH3212 also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Yea, manyH7227 peopleH5971 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH582 shall take holdH2388 out of all languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, even shall take holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH376+H3064, sayingH559, We will goH3212 with you: for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of HadrachH2317, and DamascusH1834 shall be the restH4496 thereof: when the eyesH5869 of manH120, as of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, shall be toward the LORDH3068.
And HamathH2574 also shall borderH1379 thereby; TyrusH6865, and ZidonH6721, though it be veryH3966 wiseH2449.
And TyrusH6865 did buildH1129 herself a strong holdH4692, and heaped upH6651 silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and fine goldH2742 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.
Behold, the LordH136 will cast her outH3423, and he will smiteH5221 her powerH2428 in the seaH3220; and she shall be devouredH398 with fireH784.
AshkelonH831 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372; GazaH5804 also shall see it, and be veryH3966 sorrowfulH2342, and EkronH6138; for her expectationH4007 shall be ashamedH3001; and the kingH4428 shall perishH6 from GazaH5804, and AshkelonH831 shall not be inhabitedH3427.
And a bastardH4464 shall dwellH3427 in AshdodH795, and I will cut offH3772 the prideH1347 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And I will take awayH5493 his bloodH1818 out of his mouthH6310, and his abominationsH8251 from between his teethH8127: but he that remainethH7604, even he, shall be for our GodH430, and he shall be as a governorH441 in JudahH3063, and EkronH6138 as a JebusiteH2983. {blood: Heb. bloods}
And I will encampH2583 about mine houseH1004 because of the armyH4675, because of him that passeth byH5674, and because of him that returnethH7725: and no oppressorH5065 shall pass throughH5674 them any more: for now have I seenH7200 with mine eyesH5869.
RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy KingH4428 comethH935 unto thee: he is justH6662, and having salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 upon an assH2543, and upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an assH860. {having…: or, saving himself}
And I will cut offH3772 the chariotH7393 from EphraimH669, and the horseH5483 from JerusalemH3389, and the battleH4421 bowH7198 shall be cut offH3772: and he shall speakH1696 peaceH7965 unto the heathenH1471: and his dominionH4915 shall be from seaH3220 even to seaH3220, and from the riverH5104 even to the endsH657 of the earthH776.
As for thee also, by the bloodH1818 of thy covenantH1285 I have sent forthH7971 thy prisonersH615 out of the pitH953 wherein is no waterH4325. {by…: or, whose covenant is by blood}
TurnH7725 you to the strong holdH1225, ye prisonersH615 of hopeH8615: even to dayH3117 do I declareH5046 that I will renderH7725 doubleH4932 unto thee;
When I have bentH1869 JudahH3063 for me, filledH4390 the bowH7198 with EphraimH669, and raised upH5782 thy sonsH1121, O ZionH6726, against thy sonsH1121, O GreeceH3120, and madeH7760 thee as the swordH2719 of a mighty manH1368.
And the LORDH3068 shall be seenH7200 over them, and his arrowH2671 shall go forthH3318 as the lightningH1300: and the LordH136 GODH3069 shall blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and shall goH1980 with whirlwindsH5591 of the southH8486.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall defendH1598 them; and they shall devourH398, and subdueH3533 with slingH7050 stonesH68; and they shall drinkH8354, and make a noiseH1993 as through wineH3196; and they shall be filledH4390 like bowlsH4219, and as the cornersH2106 of the altarH4196. {with…: or, the stones of the sling} {be…: or, fill both the bowls, etc}
And the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall saveH3467 them in that dayH3117 as the flockH6629 of his peopleH5971: for they shall be as the stonesH68 of a crownH5145, lifted up as an ensignH5264 upon his landH127.
For how great is his goodnessH2898, and how great is his beautyH3308! cornH1715 shall make the young menH970 cheerfulH5107, and new wineH8492 the maidsH1330. {cheerful: or, grow, or, speak}
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.
Then shall the LORDH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
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.
And ye shall fleeH5127 to the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022; for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 shall reachH5060 unto AzalH682: yea, ye shall fleeH5127, like as ye fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: and the LORDH3068 my GodH430 shall comeH935, and all the saintsH6918 with thee. {the mountains: or, my mountains} {for the…: or, when he shall touch the valley of the mountains to the place he separated}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the lightH216 shall not be clearH3368, nor darkH7087+H7087: {that the…: that is, it shall not be clear in some places, and dark in other places of the world} {clear: Heb. precious} {dark: Heb. thickness}
But it shall be oneH259 dayH3117 which shall be knownH3045 to the LORDH3068, not dayH3117, nor nightH3915: but it shall come to pass, that at eveningH6153 timeH6256 it shall be lightH216. {it shall be…: or, the day shall be one}
And it shall be in that dayH3117, that livingH2416 watersH4325 shall go outH3318 from JerusalemH3389; halfH2677 of them toward the formerH6931 seaH3220, and halfH2677 of them toward the hinderH314 seaH3220: in summerH7019 and in winterH2779 shall it be. {former: or, eastern}
And the LORDH3068 shall be kingH4428 over all the earthH776: in that dayH3117 shall there be oneH259 LORDH3068, and his nameH8034 oneH259.
All the landH776 shall be turnedH5437 as a plainH6160 from GebaH1387 to RimmonH7417 southH5045 of JerusalemH3389: and it shall be lifted upH7213, and inhabitedH3427 in her place, from Benjamin'sH1144 gateH8179 unto the placeH4725 of the firstH7223 gateH8179, unto the cornerH6434 gateH8179, and from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the king'sH4428 winepressesH3342. {turned: or, compassed} {inhabited: or, shall abide}
And men shall dwellH3427 in it, and there shall be no more utter destructionH2764; but JerusalemH3389 shall be safelyH983 inhabitedH3427. {shall be: or, shall abide}
And this shall be the plagueH4046 wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 all the peopleH5971 that have foughtH6633 against JerusalemH3389; Their fleshH1320 shall consume awayH4743 while they standH5975 upon their feetH7272, and their eyesH5869 shall consume awayH4743 in their holesH2356, and their tongueH3956 shall consume awayH4743 in their mouthH6310.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a greatH7227 tumultH4103 from the LORDH3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay holdH2388 every oneH376 on the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453, and his handH3027 shall rise upH5927 against the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453.
And JudahH3063 also shall fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the wealthH2428 of all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439 shall be gathered togetherH622, goldH2091, and silverH3701, and apparelH899, in greatH3966 abundanceH7230. {Judah…: or, thou also, O Judah shalt} {at: or, against}
And so shall be the plagueH4046 of the horseH5483, of the muleH6505, of the camelH1581, and of the assH2543, and of all the beastsH929 that shall be in theseH1992 tentsH4264, as this plagueH4046.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 of all the nationsH1471 which cameH935 against JerusalemH3389 shall even go upH5927 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
And it shall be, that whoso will not come upH5927 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 unto JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, even upon them shall be no rainH1653.
And if the familyH4940 of EgyptH4714 go not upH5927, and comeH935 not, that have no rain; there shall be the plagueH4046, wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 the heathenH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {that have no: Heb. upon whom there is not}
This shall be the punishmentH2403 of EgyptH4714, and the punishmentH2403 of all nationsH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {punishment: or, sin}
In that dayH3117 shall there be upon the bellsH4698 of the horsesH5483, HOLINESSH6944 UNTO THE LORDH3068; and the potsH5518 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be like the bowlsH4219 beforeH6440 the altarH4196. {bells: or, bridles}
Yea, every potH5518 in JerusalemH3389 and in JudahH3063 shall be holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and all they that sacrificeH2076 shall comeH935 and takeH3947 of them, and seetheH1310 therein: and in that dayH3117 there shall be no more the CanaaniteH3669 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
SingH7442, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O IsraelH3478; be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5937 with all the heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 hath taken awayH5493 thy judgmentsH4941, he hath cast outH6437 thine enemyH341: the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, even the LORDH3068, is in the midstH7130 of thee: thou shalt not seeH7200 evilH7451 any more.
They sayH559, If a manH376 put awayH7971 his wifeH802, and she goH1980 from him, and become anotherH312 man'sH376, shall he return unto her againH7725? shall not that landH776 be greatlyH2610 pollutedH2610? but thou hast played the harlotH2181 with manyH7227 loversH7453; yet return againH7725 to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {They say: Heb. Saying}
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200 whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693+H7901 with. In the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427 for them, as the ArabianH6163 in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610 the landH776 with thy whoredomsH2184 and with thy wickednessH7451.
Therefore the showersH7241 have been withholdenH4513, and there hath been no latter rainH4456; and thou hadst a whore'sH2181+H802 foreheadH4696, thou refusedstH3985 to be ashamedH3637.
Wilt thou not from this time cryH7121 unto me, My fatherH1, thou art the guideH441 of my youthH5271?
Will he reserveH5201 his anger for everH5769? will he keepH8104 it to the endH5331? Behold, thou hast spokenH1696 and doneH6213 evil thingsH7451 as thou couldestH3201.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she is gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.
And I saidH559 afterH310 she had doneH6213 all these things, TurnH7725 thou unto me. But she returnedH7725 not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. {lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663 herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898 JudahH3063.
GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769.
Only acknowledgeH3045 thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
TurnH7725, O backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; for I am marriedH1166 unto you: and I will takeH3947 you oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726:
And I will giveH5414 you pastorsH7462 according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multipliedH7235 and increasedH6509 in the landH776, in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, they shall sayH559 no more, The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068: neither shall it comeH5927 to mindH3820: neither shall they rememberH2142 it; neither shall they visitH6485 it; neither shall that be doneH6213 any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that…: or, it be magnified}
At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212 any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walkH3212 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I have given for an inheritanceH5157 unto your fathersH1. {with: or, to} {given…: or, caused your fathers to possess}
But I saidH559, How shall I putH7896 thee among the childrenH1121, and giveH5414 thee a pleasantH2532 landH776, a goodlyH6643 heritageH5159 of the hostsH6635 of nationsH1471? and I saidH559, Thou shalt callH7121 me, My fatherH1; and shalt not turn awayH7725 from meH310. {from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly…: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}
SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her husbandH7453, so have ye dealt treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {husband: Heb. friend}
A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
ReturnH7725, ye backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, and I will healH7495 your backslidingsH4878. Behold, we comeH857 unto thee; for thou art the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is salvation hoped for from the hillsH1389, and from the multitudeH1995 of mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478.
For shameH1322 hath devouredH398 the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323.
We lie downH7901 in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680 us: for we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The heavenH8064 is my throneH3678, and the earthH776 is my footstoolH7272+H1916: where is the houseH1004 that ye buildH1129 unto me? and where is the placeH4725 of my restH4496?
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
He that killethH7819 an oxH7794 is as if he slewH5221 a manH376; he that sacrificethH2076 a lambH7716, as if he cut offH6202 a dog'sH3611 neckH6202; he that offerethH5927 an oblationH4503, as if he offered swine'sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burnethH2142 incenseH3828, as if he blessedH1288 an idolH205. Yea, they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delightethH2654 in their abominationsH8251. {lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will chooseH977 their delusionsH8586, and will bringH935 their fearsH4035 upon them; because when I calledH7121, none did answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, they did not hearH8085: but they didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that in which I delightedH2654 not. {delusions: or, devices}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye that trembleH2730 at his wordH1697; Your brethrenH251 that hatedH8130 you, that cast you outH5077 for my name'sH8034 sake, saidH559, Let the LORDH3068 be glorifiedH3513: but he shall appearH7200 to your joyH8057, and they shall be ashamedH954.
A voiceH6963 of noiseH7588 from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 that renderethH7999 recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341.
Before she travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205; before her painH2256 cameH935, she was deliveredH4422 of a man childH2145.
Who hath heardH8085 such a thing? who hath seenH7200 such things? Shall the earthH776 be made to bring forthH2342 in oneH259 dayH3117? or shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205 at onceH6471? for as soon asH1571 ZionH6726 travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205 her childrenH1121.
Shall I bring to the birthH7665, and not cause to bring forthH3205? saithH559 the LORDH3068: shall IH589 cause to bring forthH3205, and shutH6113 the womb? saithH559 thy GodH430. {not…: or, not beget?}
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
That ye may suckH3243, and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of her consolationsH8575; that ye may milk outH4711, and be delightedH6026 with the abundanceH2123 of her gloryH3519. {abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the GentilesH1471 like a flowingH7857 streamH5158: then shall ye suckH3243, ye shall be borneH5375 upon her sidesH6654, and be dandledH8173 upon her kneesH1290.
As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comfortethH5162, so will I comfortH5162 you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.
And when ye seeH7200 this, your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourishH6524 like an herbH1877: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 toward his servantsH5650, and his indignationH2194 toward his enemiesH341.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784, and with his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwindH5492, to renderH7725 his angerH639 with furyH2534, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.
For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will the LORDH3068 pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be manyH7231.
They that sanctifyH6942 themselves, and purifyH2891 themselves in the gardensH1593 behindH310 oneH259 tree in the midstH8432, eatingH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and the abominationH8263, and the mouseH5909, shall be consumedH5486 togetherH3162, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {behind…: or, one after another}
For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: it shall comeH935, that I will gatherH6908 all nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and seeH7200 my gloryH3519.
And I will setH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 those that escapeH6412 of them unto the nationsH1471, to TarshishH8659, PulH6322, and LudH3865, that drawH4900 the bowH7198, to TubalH8422, and JavanH3120, to the islesH339 afar offH7350, that have not heardH8085 my fameH8088, neither have seenH7200 my gloryH3519; and they shall declareH5046 my gloryH3519 among the GentilesH1471.
And they shall bringH935 all your brethrenH251 for an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in littersH6632, and upon mulesH6505, and upon swift beastsH3753, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saithH559 the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {litters: or, coaches}
And I will also takeH3947 of them for priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
And it shall come to pass, that fromH1767 one new moonH2320 to anotherH2320, and fromH1767 one sabbathH7676 to anotherH7676, shall all fleshH1320 comeH935 to worshipH7812 beforeH6440 me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forthH3318, and lookH7200 upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586 against me: for their wormH8438 shall not dieH4191, neither shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all fleshH1320.
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.
Then shall the LORDH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
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.
And ye shall fleeH5127 to the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022; for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 shall reachH5060 unto AzalH682: yea, ye shall fleeH5127, like as ye fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: and the LORDH3068 my GodH430 shall comeH935, and all the saintsH6918 with thee. {the mountains: or, my mountains} {for the…: or, when he shall touch the valley of the mountains to the place he separated}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the lightH216 shall not be clearH3368, nor darkH7087+H7087: {that the…: that is, it shall not be clear in some places, and dark in other places of the world} {clear: Heb. precious} {dark: Heb. thickness}
But it shall be oneH259 dayH3117 which shall be knownH3045 to the LORDH3068, not dayH3117, nor nightH3915: but it shall come to pass, that at eveningH6153 timeH6256 it shall be lightH216. {it shall be…: or, the day shall be one}
And it shall be in that dayH3117, that livingH2416 watersH4325 shall go outH3318 from JerusalemH3389; halfH2677 of them toward the formerH6931 seaH3220, and halfH2677 of them toward the hinderH314 seaH3220: in summerH7019 and in winterH2779 shall it be. {former: or, eastern}
And the LORDH3068 shall be kingH4428 over all the earthH776: in that dayH3117 shall there be oneH259 LORDH3068, and his nameH8034 oneH259.
All the landH776 shall be turnedH5437 as a plainH6160 from GebaH1387 to RimmonH7417 southH5045 of JerusalemH3389: and it shall be lifted upH7213, and inhabitedH3427 in her place, from Benjamin'sH1144 gateH8179 unto the placeH4725 of the firstH7223 gateH8179, unto the cornerH6434 gateH8179, and from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the king'sH4428 winepressesH3342. {turned: or, compassed} {inhabited: or, shall abide}
And men shall dwellH3427 in it, and there shall be no more utter destructionH2764; but JerusalemH3389 shall be safelyH983 inhabitedH3427. {shall be: or, shall abide}
And this shall be the plagueH4046 wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 all the peopleH5971 that have foughtH6633 against JerusalemH3389; Their fleshH1320 shall consume awayH4743 while they standH5975 upon their feetH7272, and their eyesH5869 shall consume awayH4743 in their holesH2356, and their tongueH3956 shall consume awayH4743 in their mouthH6310.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a greatH7227 tumultH4103 from the LORDH3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay holdH2388 every oneH376 on the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453, and his handH3027 shall rise upH5927 against the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453.
And JudahH3063 also shall fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the wealthH2428 of all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439 shall be gathered togetherH622, goldH2091, and silverH3701, and apparelH899, in greatH3966 abundanceH7230. {Judah…: or, thou also, O Judah shalt} {at: or, against}
And so shall be the plagueH4046 of the horseH5483, of the muleH6505, of the camelH1581, and of the assH2543, and of all the beastsH929 that shall be in theseH1992 tentsH4264, as this plagueH4046.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 of all the nationsH1471 which cameH935 against JerusalemH3389 shall even go upH5927 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
And it shall be, that whoso will not come upH5927 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 unto JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, even upon them shall be no rainH1653.
And if the familyH4940 of EgyptH4714 go not upH5927, and comeH935 not, that have no rain; there shall be the plagueH4046, wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 the heathenH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {that have no: Heb. upon whom there is not}
This shall be the punishmentH2403 of EgyptH4714, and the punishmentH2403 of all nationsH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {punishment: or, sin}
In that dayH3117 shall there be upon the bellsH4698 of the horsesH5483, HOLINESSH6944 UNTO THE LORDH3068; and the potsH5518 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be like the bowlsH4219 beforeH6440 the altarH4196. {bells: or, bridles}
Yea, every potH5518 in JerusalemH3389 and in JudahH3063 shall be holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and all they that sacrificeH2076 shall comeH935 and takeH3947 of them, and seetheH1310 therein: and in that dayH3117 there shall be no more the CanaaniteH3669 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
AndG2532 beforeG1715 himG846 shall be gatheredG4863 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 he shall separateG873 themG846 oneG240 fromG575 anotherG240, asG5618 a shepherdG4166 dividethG873 his sheepG4263 fromG575 the goatsG2056:
AndG2532 he shall setG2476+G3303 the sheepG4263 onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, butG1161 the goatsG2055 onG1537 the leftG2176.
ThenG5119 shall the KingG935 sayG2046 unto them onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, ComeG1205, ye blessedG2127 of myG3450 FatherG3962, inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for youG5213 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 drinkG4222: I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 inG4863:
NakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165: I was sickG770, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165: I wasG2252 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye cameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165.
ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, andG2532 fedG5142 thee? orG2228 thirstyG1372, andG2532 gave thee drinkG4222?
WhenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 a strangerG3581, andG2532 took thee inG4863? orG2228 nakedG1131, andG2532 clothedG4016 thee?
Or whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571?
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.
