This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God. a For [God] giveth to {a} man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. a To every [thing there is] a season, and {a} time to every purpose under the heaven: a To every [thing there is] {a} season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and {a} time to pluck up [that which is] planted; a A time to be born, and {a} time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; A {A} time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; a A time to be born, and a time to die; {a} time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; a A time to kill, and a time to heal; {a} time to break down, and a time to build up; a A time to kill, and {a} time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A {A} time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and {a} time to build up; a A time to weep, and a time to laugh; {a} time to mourn, and a time to dance; a A time to weep, and {a} time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A {A} time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and {a} time to dance; a A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and {a} time to refrain from embracing; a A time to cast away stones, and {a} time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A {A} time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; {a} time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a A time to get, and a time to lose; {a} time to keep, and a time to cast away; a A time to get, and {a} time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A {A} time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and {a} time to cast away; a A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and {a} time to speak; a A time to rend, and a time to sew; {a} time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A {A} time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a A time to rend, and {a} time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a A time to love, and a time to hate; {a} time of war, and a time of peace. a A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and {a} time of peace. A {A} time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. a A time to love, and {a} time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. a I know that [there is] no good in them, but for [{a} man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life. a I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for [there is] {a} time there for every purpose and for every work. a For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above {a} beast: for all [is] vanity. a For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that {a} man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity. a Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing better, than that {a} man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? a Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this {a} man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit. a There is one [alone], and [there is] not {a} second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail. a There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] {a} sore travail. a Two [are] better than one; because they have {a} good reward for their labour. a And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and {a} threefold cord is not quickly broken. a Better [is] a poor and {a} wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. a Better [is] {a} poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. a For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and {a} fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words. a For {a} dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words. a When thou vowest {a} vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. a If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in {a} province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they. a The sleep of {a} labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. a There is {a} sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. a But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth {a} son, and [there is] nothing in his hand. a And this also [is] {a} sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? a A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but {a} stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease. A {A} man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease. a If {a} man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he. a Yea, though he live {a} thousand years twice [told], yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? a For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell {a} man what shall be after him under the sun? a For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as {a} shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? A {A} good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. a It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for {a} man to hear the song of fools. a For as the crackling of thorns under {a} pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity. a Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and {a} gift destroyeth the heart. a Surely oppression maketh {a} wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. a Better [is] the end of {a} thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit. a For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] {a} defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it. a For wisdom [is] {a} defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it. a All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is {a} just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness. a All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is {a} wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness. a For [there is] not {a} just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. a Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but {a} woman among all those have I not found. a Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among {a} thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. a Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? {a} man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. a Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the interpretation of {a} thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. a Where the word of {a} king [is, there is] power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? a Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and {a} wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. a All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] {a} time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. a Though {a} sinner do evil an hundred times, and his [days] be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: a But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days, [which are] as {a} shadow; because he feareth not before God. a There is {a} vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity. a Then I commended mirth, because {a} man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. a Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yea farther; though {a} wise [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it]. a Then I beheld all the work of God, that {a} man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yea farther; though a wise [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it]. a Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though {a} man labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yea farther; though a wise [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it]. a For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than {a} dead lion. a For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for {a} living dog is better than a dead lion. a For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more {a} reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. a Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more {a} portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun. a Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with {a} merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. a There was] a little city, and few men within it; and there came {a} great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: a There was] {a} little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: a Now there was found in it {a} poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. a Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth {a} stinking savour: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honour. a Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: [so doth] {a} little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honour. A {A} wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left. a A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but {a} fool's heart at his left. a Yea also, when he that is {a} fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he [is] a fool. a Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he [is] {a} fool. a He that diggeth {a} pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. a He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, {a} serpent shall bite him. a Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and {a} babbler is no better. a The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of {a} fool will swallow up himself. a The words of {a} wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. a A fool also is full of words: {a} man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? A {A} fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? a Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] {a} child, and thy princes eat in the morning! A {A} feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things]. a Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for {a} bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. a Give {a} portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. a Truly the light [is] sweet, and {a} pleasant [thing it is] for the eyes to behold the sun: a But if {a} man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity. a Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be {a} burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: a And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] {a} weariness of the flesh. a I have compared thee, O my love, to {a} company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. A {A} bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. a My beloved [is] unto me [as] {a} cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. a My beloved is like {a} roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice. a My beloved is like a roe or {a} young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice. a The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines [with] the tender grape give {a} [good] smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. a Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or {a} young hart upon the mountains of Bether. a Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like {a} roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. a It was] but {a} little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. a King Solomon made himself {a} chariot of the wood of Lebanon. a Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair; thou [hast] doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as {a} flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. a Thy teeth [are] like {a} flock [of sheep that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none [is] barren among them. a Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like {a} piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. a Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of {a} pomegranate within thy locks. a Thy lips [are] like {a} thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. a Thy neck [is] like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang {a} thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. a A garden enclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, {a} fountain sealed. a A garden enclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; {a} spring shut up, a fountain sealed. A {A} garden enclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. a A fountain of gardens, {a} well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. A {A} fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. a His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as {a} raven. a His cheeks [are] as {a} bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. a Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair [is] as {a} flock of goats that appear from Gilead. a Thy teeth [are] as {a} flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and [there is] not one barren among them. a As a piece of {a} pomegranate [are] thy temples within thy locks. a As {a} piece of a pomegranate [are] thy temples within thy locks. a How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work of the hands of {a} cunning workman. a Thy navel [is like] {a} round goblet, [which] wanteth not liquor: thy belly [is like] an heap of wheat set about with lilies. a Thy neck [is] as {a} tower of ivory; thine eyes [like] the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose [is] as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. a This thy stature is like to {a} palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters [of grapes]. a The mandrakes give {a} smell, and at our gates [are] all manner of pleasant [fruits], new and old, [which] I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. a Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath {a}] most vehement flame. a Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as {a} seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame. a Set me as {a} seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame. a Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if [{a}] man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. a We have {a} little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? a If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her {a} palace of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. a If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [be] {a} door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. a If she [be] {a} wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar. a I [am] {a} wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour. a Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring {a} thousand [pieces] of silver. a Solomon had {a} vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand [pieces] of silver. a My vineyard, which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou, O Solomon, [must have] {a} thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. a Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to {a} young hart upon the mountains of spices. a Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to {a} roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices. a Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, {a} seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. a Ah sinful nation, {a} people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. a And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as {a} besieged city. a And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in {a} vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. a And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as {a} lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. a And the daughter of Zion is left as {a} cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. a And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in {a} garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. a Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us {a} very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah. a Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are {a} trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them]. a For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as {a} garden that hath no water. a And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as {a} spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them]. a When {a} man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, [saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and [let] this ruin [be] under thy hand: a In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not {a} ruler of the people. a Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making {a} tinkling with their feet: a Therefore the Lord will smite with {a} scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. a And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of {a} stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty. a And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher {a} girding of sackcloth; [and] burning instead of beauty. a And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell there shall be stink;

My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in {a} very fruitful hill: a Now will I sing to my wellbeloved {a} song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: a Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath {a} vineyard in a very fruitful hill: a And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made {a} winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. a And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built {a} tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. a For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts [is] the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold {a} cry. a In mine ears [said] the LORD of hosts, Of {a} truth many houses shall be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant. a Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with {a} cart rope: a Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like {a} whirlwind. a Their roaring [shall be] like {a} lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it]. a In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon {a} throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. a Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] {a} man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. a Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of {a} people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. a Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having {a} live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: a And the LORD have removed men far away, and [there be] {a} great forsaking in the midst of the land. a But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as {a} teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance thereof. a But yet in it [shall be] {a} tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance thereof. a Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make {a} breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal: a Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set {a} king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal: a For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not {a} people. a Ask thee {a} sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. a And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] {a} small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? a Therefore the Lord himself shall give you {a} sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. a Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, {a} virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. a Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear {a} son, and shall call his name Immanuel. a In the same day shall the Lord shave with {a} razor that is hired, [namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. a And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish {a} young cow, and two sheep; a And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] {a} man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; a And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were {a} thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns. a And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at {a} thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns. a Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee {a} great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. a Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with {a} man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. a And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare {a} son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. a For the LORD spake thus to me with {a} strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, A Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, {A} confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. A Say ye not, {A} confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. a And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for {a} gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. a And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for {a} rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. a And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for {a} snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. a And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for {a} stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. a And he shall be for {a} sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. a And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not {a} people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? a The people that walked in darkness have seen {a} great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. a For unto us a child is born, unto us {a} son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. a For unto us {a} child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. a The Lord sent {a} word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. a I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him {a} charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. a Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but [it is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not {a} few. a For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like {a} valiant [man]: a And my hand hath found as {a} nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. a Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of {a} fire. a Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle {a} burning like the burning of a fire. a And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for {a} flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day; a And the light of Israel shall be for {a} fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day; a And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when {a} standardbearer fainteth. a And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that {a} child may write them. a For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] {a} remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. a For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make {a} consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with {a} rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. a For yet {a} very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. a And the LORD of hosts shall stir up {a} scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and [as] his rod [was] upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. a And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by {a} mighty one. a And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and {a} Branch shall grow out of his roots: a And there shall come forth {a} rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: a The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and {a} little child shall lead them. a And in that day there shall be {a} root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. a Lift ye up {a} banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. a The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of {a} great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. a The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; {a} tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. a The noise of {a} multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. a They come from {a} far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. a Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as {a} destruction from the Almighty. a And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as {a} woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames. a I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even {a} man than the golden wedge of Ophir. a I will make {a} man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. a And it shall be as the chased roe, and as {a} sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. a He who smote the people in wrath with {a} continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, [and] none hindereth. a That] made the world as {a} wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners? a But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as {a} carcase trodden under feet. a But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with {a} sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. a I will also make it {a} possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts. a Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth {a} cockatrice, and his fruit [shall be] a fiery flying serpent. a Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit [shall be] {a} fiery flying serpent. a Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north {a} smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times. a My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives [shall flee] unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up {a} cry of destruction. a For it shall be, [that], as {a} wandering bird cast out of the nest, [so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. a Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou {a} covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. a The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] {a} city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. a The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be {a} ruinous heap. a At that day shall {a} man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. a In that day shall his strong cities be as {a} forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. a In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: [but] the harvest [shall be] {a} heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. a Woe to the multitude of many people, [which] make {a} noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, [that] make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! a Woe to the multitude of many people, [which] make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, [that] make {a} rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! a The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but [God] shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like {a} rolling thing before the whirlwind. a That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; {a} nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! a That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to {a} people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! a That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to {a} nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! a All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth {a} trumpet, hear ye. a For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like {a} clear heat upon herbs, [and] like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. a For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, [and] like {a} cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. a In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; {a} nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion. a In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from {a} people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion. a In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of {a} people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion. a The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon {a} swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. a And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and {a} fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. a And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of {a} cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. a The LORD hath mingled {a} perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken [man] staggereth in his vomit. a The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as {a} drunken [man] staggereth in his vomit. a And the land of Judah shall be {a} terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it. a In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and {a} pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. a And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and {a} great one, and he shall deliver them. a And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them {a} saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. a And it shall be for a sign and for {a} witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. a And it shall be for {a} sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. a And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow {a} vow unto the LORD, and perform [it]. a In that day shall there be {a} highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. a In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, [even] {a} blessing in the midst of the land: a And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years [for] {a} sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; a The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; [so] it cometh from the desert, from {a} terrible land. A {A} grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease. a Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of {a} woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing [of it]; I was dismayed at the seeing [of it]. a For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set {a} watchman, let him declare what he seeth. a And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, [and] {a} chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: a And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, {a} chariot of asses, [and] a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: a And he saw {a} chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, [and] a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: a And he saw a chariot [with] {a} couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, [and] a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: A And he cried, {A} lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights: a And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, [with] {a} couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. a And, behold, here cometh {a} chariot of men, [with] a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. a For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within {a} year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: a Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, {a} joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. a Thou that art full of stirs, {a} tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. a For [it is] {a} day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. a Ye made also {a} ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago. a What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out {a} sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, [and] that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? a What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, [and] that graveth an habitation for himself in {a} rock? a What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out {a} sepulchre on high, [and] that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? a Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with {a} mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. a He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] {a} ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord's house. a He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into {a} large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord's house. a And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be {a} father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. a And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for {a} glorious throne to his father's house. a And I will fasten him [as] a nail in {a} sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. a And I will fasten him [as] {a} nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. a And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, [is] her revenue; and she is {a} mart of nations. a Pass through thy land as {a} river, O daughter of Tarshish: [there is] no more strength. a He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given {a} commandment against the merchant [city], to destroy the strong holds thereof. a They shall not drink wine with {a} song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. a There is] {a} crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. a The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like {a} cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. a The earth shall reel to and fro like {a} drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. a For thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] a defenced city a ruin: {a} palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. a For thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] {a} defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. a For thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] a defenced city {a} ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. a For thou hast made of {a} city an heap; [of] a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. a For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, {a} refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. a For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as {a} storm [against] the wall. a For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, {a} shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. a For thou hast been a strength to the poor, {a} strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. a For thou hast been {a} strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. a Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in {a} dry place; [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. a Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shadow of {a} cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. a And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people {a} feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. a And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, {a} feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. a In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have {a} strong city; salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks. a LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out {a} prayer [when] thy chastening [was] upon them. a Like as {a} woman with child, [that] draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. a Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for {a} little moment, until the indignation be overpast. A In that day sing ye unto her, {A} vineyard of red wine. a Yet the defenced city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like {a} wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. a When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, [and] set them on fire: for it [is] {a} people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour. a Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] {a} fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! a Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as {a} flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. a Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] {a} destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. a Behold, the Lord hath {a} mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. a Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as {a} tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. a And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall be {a} fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. a In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for {a} diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, a In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for {a} crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, a And for {a} spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. a For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there {a} little: a For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here {a} little, [and] there a little: a But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there {a} little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. a But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here {a} little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. a Because ye have said, We have made {a} covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, {a} tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for {a} foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, {a} precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation {a} stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], {a} sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. a From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be {a} vexation only [to] understand the report. a For the bed is shorter than that [{a} man] can stretch himself [on it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it]. a Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts {a} consumption, even determined upon the whole earth. a For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is {a} cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. a For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with {a} staff, and the cummin with a rod. a For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with {a} rod. a For the fitches are not threshed with {a} threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. a And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with {a} mount, and I will raise forts against thee. a And thou shalt be brought down, [and] shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath {a} familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. a And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of {a} night vision. a And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as {a} dream of a night vision. a It shall even be as when an hungry [man] dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when {a} thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. a And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of {a} book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it [is] sealed: a Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, [even] {a} marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid. a Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, [even] a marvellous work and {a} wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid. a Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do {a} marvellous work among this people, [even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid. a Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as {a} forest? a Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into {a} fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? a Is] it not yet {a} very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? a That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for {a} thing of nought. a That make a man an offender for a word, and lay {a} snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. a That make a man an offender for {a} word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. a That make {a} man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. a Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with {a} covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: a They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but {a} shame, and also a reproach. a They were all ashamed of {a} people [that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. a They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also {a} reproach. a The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to {a} people [that] shall not profit [them]. a Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in {a} book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: a Now go, write it before them in {a} table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: a That this [is] {a} rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will not hear the law of the LORD: a Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in {a} high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. a Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as {a} breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. a And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it {a} sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water [withal] out of the pit. a One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as {a} beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. a One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of {a} mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. a And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] {a} God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him. a And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into {a} corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: a And thine ears shall hear {a} word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. a Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as {a} menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. a Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as {a} devouring fire: a And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and [there shall be] {a} bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err. a Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] {a} holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. a Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with {a} pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. a Ye shall have {a} song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. a And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of {a} devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. a For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, [which] smote with {a} rod. a For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile thereof [is] fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like {a} stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. a For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when {a} multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. a For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you [for] {a} sin. a Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of {a} mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. a Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of {a} mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. a Behold, {a} king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. a And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and {a} covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. a And {a} man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. a And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in {a} dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. a And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in {a} weary land. a And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of {a} great rock in a weary land. a Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, {a} joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; a Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, {a} pasture of flocks; a Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for {a} forest. a Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be {a} fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. a And my people shall dwell in {a} peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; a When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in {a} low place. a The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like {a} wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits]. a Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of {a} stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand. a Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of {a} deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand. a Thou shalt not see {a} fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand. a Thou shalt not see a fierce people, {a} people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand. a Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, {a} tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. a Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem {a} quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. a But there the glorious LORD [will be] unto us {a} place of broad rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. a Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of {a} great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. a And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as {a} scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree. a And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as {a} falling [fig] from the fig tree. a The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath {a} sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. a The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and {a} great slaughter in the land of Idumea. a And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, [and] {a} court for owls. a The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself {a} place of rest. a Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] {a} recompense; he will come and save you. a Say to them [that are] of {a} fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompense; he will come and save you. a And the parched ground shall become {a} pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, [shall be] grass with reeds and rushes. a And an highway shall be there, and {a} way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err [therein]. a And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with {a} great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field. a Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if {a} man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him. a Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with {a} loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. a Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me [by] {a} present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern; a Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, {a} land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. a Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, {a} land of bread and vineyards. a Until I come and take you away to {a} land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. a But they held their peace, and answered him not {a} word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. a And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] {a} day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth. a Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear {a} rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. a Behold, I will send {a} blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. a Of {a} truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries. a And this [shall be] {a} sign unto thee, Ye shall eat [this] year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof. a For out of Jerusalem shall go forth {a} remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. a Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast {a} bank against it. a Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians {a} hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses. a And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with {a} perfect heart, and have done [that which is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. a And this [shall be] {a} sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; a Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like {a} weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me. a Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as {a} shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me. a I reckoned till morning, [that], as {a} lion, so will he break all my bones: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me. a Like a crane [or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as {a} dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. a Like a crane [or] {a} swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. a Like {a} crane [or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. a For Isaiah had said, Let them take {a} lump of figs, and lay [it] for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover. a For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay [it] for {a} plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover. a At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and {a} present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered. a Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from {a} far country unto me, [even] from Babylon. a The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert {a} highway for our God. a He shall feed his flock like {a} shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young. a Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in {a} balance? a Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in {a} measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? a Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of {a} bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. a Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as {a} very little thing. a Behold, the nations [are] as {a} drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. a And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for {a} burnt offering. a The workman melteth {a} graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. a He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth {a} tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved. a He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him {a} cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved. a He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare {a} graven image, [that] shall not be moved. a It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as {a} tent to dwell in: a It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as {a} curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: a Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as {a} thing of nought. a Behold, I will make thee {a} new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. a I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness {a} pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. a For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them, and [there was] no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer {a} word. A {A} bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. a I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for {a} covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; a I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for {a} light of the Gentiles; a Sing unto the LORD {a} new song, [and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. a The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like {a} man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. a The LORD shall go forth as {a} mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. a I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, [and] refrained myself: [now] will I cry like {a} travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. a And I will bring the blind by {a} way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. a But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for {a} prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. a But this [is] {a} people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. a But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for {a} spoil, and none saith, Restore. a Who gave Jacob for {a} spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. a Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and {a} path in the mighty waters; a Thus saith the LORD, which maketh {a} way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; a Behold, I will do {a} new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert. a Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make {a} way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert. a Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there {a} God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any]. a They that make {a} graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. a Who hath formed a god, or molten {a} graven image [that] is profitable for nothing? a Who hath formed {a} god, or molten a graven image [that] is profitable for nothing? a The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of {a} man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. a The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of {a} man; that it may remain in the house. a The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it out with {a} line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. a Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it {a} graven image, and falleth down thereto. a Then shall it be for {a} man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. a Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yea, he maketh {a} god, and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. a And the residue thereof he maketh {a} god, [even] his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth [it], and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou [art] my god. a And none considereth in his heart, neither [is there] knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten [it]: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of {a} tree? a He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not {a} lie in my right hand? a He feedeth on ashes: {a} deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my right hand? a I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as {a} cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. a I have blotted out, as {a} thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. a Verily thou [art] {a} God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. a I have not spoken in secret, in {a} dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. a Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto {a} god [that] cannot save. a Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; {a} just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me. a Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and {a} Saviour; [there is] none beside me. a Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy loaden; [they are] {a} burden to the weary [beast]. a They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire {a} goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. a They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it {a} god: they fall down, yea, they worship. a Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from {a} far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it. a Calling {a} ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it. a Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] {a} man. a And thou saidst, I shall be {a} lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. a Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] {a} widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: a But these two [things] shall come to thee in {a} moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments. a Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] {a} coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it. a Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time [that] thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called {a} transgressor from the womb. a O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as {a} river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: a Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with {a} voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. a And he hath made my mouth like {a} sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; a And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me {a} polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; a And he said, It is {a} light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. a And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for {a} light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. a Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to {a} servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. a Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for {a} covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; a Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in {a} day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; a And I will make all my mountains {a} way, and my highways shall be exalted. a Can {a} woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. a Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, [and] come to thee. [As] I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them [on thee], as {a} bride [doeth]. a Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, {a} captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where [had] they [been]? a Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers {a} wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst. a The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak {a} word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. a For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like {a} flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. a Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as {a} garment; the moth shall eat them up. a Behold, all ye that kindle {a} fire, that compass [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. a Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for {a} law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. a Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for {a} light of the people. a Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like {a} garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. a For the moth shall eat them up like {a} garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation. a Art] thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea {a} way for the ransomed to pass over? a I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth you: who [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of {a} man [that] shall die, and of the son of man [which] shall be made [as] grass; a Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in {a} net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God. a Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as {a} wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God. a For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as {a} root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. a For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of {a} dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. a For he shall grow up before him as {a} tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. a He is despised and rejected of men; {a} man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. a He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as {a} sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. a He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as {a} lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. a Therefore will I divide him [{a} portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. a For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and {a} wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. a For the LORD hath called thee as {a} woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. a For {a} small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. a In {a} little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. a In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for {a} moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. a Behold, I have given him [for] {a} witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. a Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, {a} leader and commander to the people. a Behold, thou shalt call {a} nation [that] thou knowest not, and nations [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. a Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for {a} name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off. a Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] {a} dry tree. a Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and {a} name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. a Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls {a} place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. a Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, {a} seed of falsehood, a Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye {a} wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, a Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered {a} meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these? a Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured {a} drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these? a Upon {a} lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. a Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another] than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [{a} covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it]. a For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of {a} contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. a Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like {a} trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. a Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as {a} nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. a Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for {a} man to afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? a Is it such a fast that I have chosen? {a} day for a man to afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? a Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul?

[is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? a And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like {a} spring of water, whose waters fail not. a And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like {a} watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. a If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath {a} delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words: a They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into {a} viper. a Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil maketh himself {a} prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment. a For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as {a} cloak. a For he put on righteousness as {a} breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. a So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up {a} standard against him. a So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like {a} flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. a Who [are] these [that] fly as {a} cloud, and as the doves to their windows? a Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, {a} joy of many generations. A {A} little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. a A little one shall become {a} thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. a A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one {a} strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. a A little one shall become a thousand, and {a} small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. a I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as {a} bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels. a I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as {a} bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels. a For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as {a} lamp [that] burneth. a And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by {a} new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. a Thou shalt also be {a} crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. a Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and {a} royal diadem in the hand of thy God. a For [as] a young man marrieth {a} virgin, [so] shall thy sons marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee. a For [as] {a} young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee. a And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem {a} praise in the earth. a Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up {a} standard for the people. A And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, {A} city not forsaken. a As {a} beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. a As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself {a} glorious name. a The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but {a} little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. a But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as {a} leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. a Thy holy cities are {a} wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. a Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem {a} desolation. a Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is {a} wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. a I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am found of [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto {a} nation [that] was not called by my name. a I have spread out my hands all the day unto {a} rebellious people, which walketh in a way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts; a I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in {a} way [that was] not good, after their own thoughts; A {A} people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; a Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, {a} fire that burneth all the day. a Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These [are] {a} smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. a Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for {a} blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. a And I will bring forth {a} seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. a And Sharon shall be {a} fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. a And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor {a} place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. a But ye [are] they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare {a} table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. a And ye shall leave your name for {a} curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: a For, behold, I create new heavens and {a} new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. a But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people {a} joy. a But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem {a} rejoicing, and her people a joy. a They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of {a} tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. a For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of {a} contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. a He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off {a} dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol.

And I said, I see {a} rod of an almond tree. a And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see {a} seething pot; and the face thereof [is] toward the north. a For, behold, I have made thee this day {a} defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. a Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in {a} land [that was] not sown. a Neither said they, Where [is] the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through {a} land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? a Neither said they, Where [is] the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through {a} land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? a Neither said they, Where [is] the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through {a} land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? a And I brought you into {a} plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. a For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such {a} thing. a Hath {a} nation changed [their] gods, which [are] yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for [that which] doth not profit. a Is] Israel a servant?

Have I been {a} wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? a O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? {a} land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? a Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] {a} bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. a Can {a} maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. a They say, If {a} man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. a Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst {a} whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. a And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her {a} bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. a Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of {a} family, and I will bring you to Zion: a Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of {a} city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: a But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee {a} pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me. a But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, {a} goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me. a Surely [as] {a} wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. A {A} voice was heard upon the high places, weeping [and] supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, [and] they have forgotten the LORD their God. a Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and {a} great destruction. A At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, {A} dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, a Even] {a} full wind from those [places] shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them. a Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as {a} whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. a For {a} voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. a Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from {a} far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. a As keepers of {a} field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. a My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh {a} noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. a Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in {a} moment. a I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] {a} wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger. a For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make {a} full end. a The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city [shall be] forsaken, and not {a} man dwell therein. a For I have heard {a} voice as of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. a For I have heard a voice as of {a} woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. a Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find {a} man, if there be [any] that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. a O LORD, [are] not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, [but] they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than {a} rock; they have refused to return. a Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, [and] a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, {a} leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased. a Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, [and] {a} wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased. a Wherefore {a} lion out of the forest shall slay them, [and] a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased. a Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such {a} nation as this? a Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not {a} full end: take away her battlements; for they [are] not the LORD'S. a Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it [is] {a} mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. a Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it [is] a mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation, {a} nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. a Lo, I will bring {a} nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it [is] a mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. a Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make {a} full end with you. a And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in {a} land [that is] not yours. a Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by {a} perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? a But this people hath {a} revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. a But this people hath a revolting and {a} rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. a For among my people are found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set {a} trap, they catch men. a As {a} cage is full of birds, so [are] their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. a Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such {a} nation as this? A {A} wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; a O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up {a} sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. a I have likened the daughter of Zion to {a} comely and delicate [woman]. a For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast {a} mount against Jerusalem: this [is] the city to be visited; she [is] wholly oppression in the midst of her. a As {a} fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually [is] grief and wounds. a Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, {a} land not inhabited. a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as {a} vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as {a} grapegatherer into the baskets. a To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them {a} reproach; they have no delight in it. a To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from {a} far country? your burnt offerings [are] not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. a Thus saith the LORD, Behold, {a} people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. a Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and {a} great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. a We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pain, as of {a} woman in travail. a I have set thee [for] {a} tower [and] a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. a I have set thee [for] a tower [and] {a} fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. a For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute judgment between {a} man and his neighbour; a Is this house, which is called by my name, become {a} den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it], saith the LORD. a But thou shalt say unto them, This [is] {a} nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. a Cut off thine hair, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away, and take up {a} lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. a Why [then] is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by {a} perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. a We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for {a} time of health, and behold trouble! a Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in {a} far country: [Is] not the LORD in Zion? [is] not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, [and] with strange vanities? a Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes {a} fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! a Oh that I had in the wilderness {a} lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they [be] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. a Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such {a} nation as this? a For the mountains will I take up {a} weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. a For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness {a} lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. a And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] {a} den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. a Who [is] the wise man, that may understand this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth [and] is burned up like {a} wilderness, that none passeth through? a I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send {a} sword after them, till I have consumed them. a And let them make haste, and take up {a} wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. a For {a} voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out. a For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one] cutteth {a} tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. a But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [is] {a} doctrine of vanities. a When he uttereth his voice, [there is] {a} multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. a Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this [is] {a} grief, and I must bear it. a Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and {a} great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, [and] a den of dragons. a Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, [and] {a} den of dragons. a That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them {a} land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. A And the LORD said unto me, {A} conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. a Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up {a} cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. A The LORD called thy name, {A} green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. a The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of {a} great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. a But I [was] like {a} lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. a For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called {a} multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. a Mine heritage is unto me as {a} lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. a Mine heritage [is] unto me [as] {a} speckled bird, the birds round about [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. a Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion {a} desolate wilderness. a Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee {a} linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. a So I got {a} girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put [it] on my loins. a Take the girdle that thou hast got, which [is] upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in {a} hole of the rock. a For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for {a} praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear. a For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of {a} man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear. a For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for {a} name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear. a For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for {a} people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear. a For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for {a} glory: but they would not hear. a What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them [to be] captains, [and] as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as {a} woman in travail? a O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as {a} stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man [that] turneth aside to tarry for a night? a O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as {a} wayfaring man [that] turneth aside to tarry for a night? a O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man [that] turneth aside to tarry for {a} night? a Why shouldest thou be as {a} man astonied, as a mighty man [that] cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, [art] in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. a Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as {a} mighty man [that] cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, [art] in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. a Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you {a} false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. a Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and {a} thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. a Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with {a} great breach, with a very grievous blow. a Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with {a} very grievous blow. a If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into {a} land that they know not. a And I will fan them with {a} fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways. a Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men {a} spoiler at noonday: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. a Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me {a} man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me. a Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and {a} man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me. a And I will make [thee] to pass with thine enemies into {a} land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, [which] shall burn upon you. a And I will make [thee] to pass with thine enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for {a} fire is kindled in mine anger, [which] shall burn upon you. a Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as {a} liar, [and as] waters [that] fail? a And I will make thee unto this people {a} fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. a Thou shalt not take thee {a} wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place. a Therefore will I cast you out of this land into {a} land that ye know not, [neither] ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not show you favour. a Shall {a} man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no gods? a The sin of Judah [is] written with {a} pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond: [it is] graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; a The sin of Judah [is] written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of {a} diamond: [it is] graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; a And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled {a} fire in mine anger, [which] shall burn for ever. a For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [in] {a} salt land and not inhabited. a For he shall be as {a} tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. a As] the partridge sitteth [on eggs], and hatcheth [them] not; [so] he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be {a} fool. A {A} glorious high throne from the beginning [is] the place of our sanctuary. a As for me, I have not hastened from [being] {a} pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was [right] before thee. a Be not {a} terror unto me: thou [art] my hope in the day of evil. a Neither carry forth {a} burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. a But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle {a} fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. a But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear {a} burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. a Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought {a} work on the wheels. a At what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning {a} kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy [it]; a At what] instant I shall speak concerning {a} nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy [it]; a And [at what] instant I shall speak concerning {a} nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant [it]; a And [at what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning {a} kingdom, to build and to plant [it]; a Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise {a} device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. a Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done {a} very horrible thing. a Will [{a} man] leave the snow of Lebanon [which cometh] from the rock of the field? [or] shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken? a Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] {a} way not cast up; a To make their land desolate, [and] {a} perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. a Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged {a} pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, [and] to turn away thy wrath from them. a Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged {a} pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. a Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring {a} troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. a Let {a} cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. a Thus saith the LORD, Go and get {a} potter's earthen bottle, and [take] of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests; a And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as [one] breaketh {a} potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury [them] in Tophet, till [there be] no place to bury. a For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee {a} terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold [it]: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword. a For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made {a} reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. a For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and {a} derision, daily. a Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But [his word] was in mine heart as {a} burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay]. a But the LORD [is] with me as {a} mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. A Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, {A} man child is born unto thee; making him very glad. a And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with {a} strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. a And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of {a} great pestilence. a He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for {a} prey. a But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle {a} fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it. a But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become {a} desolation. a For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou [art] Gilead unto me, [and] the head of Lebanon: [yet] surely I will make thee {a} wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not inhabited. a That saith, I will build me {a} wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and [it is] ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. a O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of {a} woman in travail! a Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [is he] {a} vessel wherein [is] no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? a Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [is he] a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into {a} land which they know not? a Is] this man Coniah {a} despised broken idol? [is he] a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? a Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, {a} man [that] shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. a Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David {a} righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. a Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and {a} King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. a Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like {a} drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. a Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like {a} man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak {a} vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD. a Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even {a} grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. a Behold, {a} whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. a Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not {a} God afar off? a Am] I {a} God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? a The prophet that hath {a} dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. a The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell {a} dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. a Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like {a} hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces? a Is] not my word like as {a} fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces? a And when this people, or the prophet, or {a} priest, shall ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. a And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and {a} perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. a And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] {a} reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. a And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and {a} curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. a And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, {a} taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. a And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and {a} proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. a And this whole land shall be {a} desolation, [and] an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. a To wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them {a} desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as [it is] this day; a To wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and {a} curse; as [it is] this day; a For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for {a} sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. a Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give {a} shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth. a A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath {a} controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. A {A} noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and {a} great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. a Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like {a} pleasant vessel. A {A} voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, [shall be heard]: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. a Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not {a} word: a Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city {a} curse to all the nations of the earth. a But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of {a} truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. a Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] {a} field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. a Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of {a} forest. a And there was also {a} man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah: a For they prophesy {a} lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. a Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy {a} lie unto you. a For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy {a} lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. a Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy {a} lie unto you. a For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put {a} yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. a Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in {a} lie. a And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be {a} curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: a And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and {a} reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy {a} lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; a And of them shall be taken up {a} curse by all the captivity of Judah which [are] in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; a Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and [am] {a} witness, saith the LORD. a The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man [that is] mad, and maketh himself {a} prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks. a Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself {a} prophet to you? a Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in {a} lie: a Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have {a} man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD. a Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in {a} book. a For thus saith the LORD; We have heard {a} voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. a Ask ye now, and see whether {a} man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? a Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as {a} woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? a For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make {a} full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. a For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make {a} full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. a All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of {a} cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; [because] thy sins were increased. a Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for {a} prey. a Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be {a} spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. a Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, {a} continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. a For there shall be {a} day, [that] the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. a Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: {a} great company shall return thither. a They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am {a} father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn. a They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in {a} straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn. a Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as {a} shepherd [doth] his flock. a Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as {a} watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. A Thus saith the LORD; {A} voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not. a I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as {a} bullock unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou [art] the LORD my God. a Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] {a} pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. A How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, {A} woman shall compass a man. a How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created {a} new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. a How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass {a} man. a In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten {a} sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. a Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make {a} new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: a Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for {a} light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name: a Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for {a} light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name: a If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being {a} nation before me for ever. a Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] unto this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and hast made thee {a} name, as at this day; a And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with {a} stretched out arm, and with great terror; a And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with {a} strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; a And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, {a} land flowing with milk and honey; a For this city hath been to me [as] {a} provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face, a And it shall be to me a name of joy, {a} praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it. a And it shall be to me {a} name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it. a For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want {a} man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; a Neither shall the priests the Levites want {a} man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. a Then] may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have {a} son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. a Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more {a} nation before them. a This is] the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made {a} covenant with all the people which [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them; a That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, [being] an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, [to wit], of {a} Jew his brother. a Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made {a} covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying, a And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made {a} covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: a Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim {a} liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. a Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah {a} desolation without an inhabitant. a And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, {a} man of God, which [was] by the chamber of the princes, which [was] above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door: a Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want {a} man to stand before me for ever. a Take thee a roll of {a} book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. a Take thee {a} roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. a Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of {a} book. a Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon {a} roll of a book. a And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, [that] they proclaimed {a} fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem. a Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and [there was {a} fire] on the hearth burning before him. a And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, {a} captain of the ward [was] there, whose name [was] Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. a Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily {a} piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. a Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for {a} prey, and shall live. a Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that [is] in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee {a} thing; hide nothing from me. a For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for {a} prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD. a Now while he was not yet gone back, [he said], Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and {a} reward, and let him go. a Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of {a} Maachathite, they and their men. a Likewise when all the Jews that [were] in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that [were] in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left {a} remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan; a And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, [even] for all this remnant; (for we are left [but] {a} few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:) a Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be {a} true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us. a For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and {a} reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. a For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and {a} curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. a And I will kindle {a} fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace. a And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as {a} shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace. a Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they [are] {a} desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, a In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be {a} curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? a In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and {a} reproach among all the nations of the earth? a And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, [and] fall in the land of Egypt; they shall [even] be consumed by the sword [and] by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and {a} reproach. a And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, [and] fall in the land of Egypt; they shall [even] be consumed by the sword [and] by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, [and] an astonishment, and {a} curse, and a reproach. a So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have {a} desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape. a Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, {a} great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, a So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, [and] because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and {a} curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. a So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, [and] because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land {a} desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. a Yet {a} small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs. a And this [shall be] {a} sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil: a The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in {a} book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, a And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for {a} prey in all places whither thou goest. a Who [is] this [that] cometh up as {a} flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers? a Egypt riseth up like {a} flood, and [his] waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. a For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, {a} day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. a For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath {a} sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. a They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [is but] {a} noise; he hath passed the time appointed. a Egypt [is like] {a} very fair heifer, [but] destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north. a The voice thereof shall go like {a} serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood. a Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I [am] with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make {a} full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. a Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I [am] with thee; for I will make {a} full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. a How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it {a} charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it. a There shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] {a} nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. A {A} voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. a Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused {a} cry to be heard. a For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard {a} cry of destruction. a For was not Israel {a} derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. a There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like {a} vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, saith the LORD. a They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be {a} derision and a dismaying to all them about him. a They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and {a} dismaying to all them about him. a Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of {a} woman in her pangs. a And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] {a} people, because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD. a They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and {a} flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. a They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but {a} fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. a Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be {a} desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD. a Behold, I will bring {a} fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth. a For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, {a} waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. a For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, {a} reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. a For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and {a} curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. a For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become {a} desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. a I have heard {a} rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, [saying], Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle. a Also Edom shall be {a} desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. a As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour [cities] thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall {a} son of man dwell in it. a Behold, he shall come up like {a} lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me? a Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] {a} chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me? a Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of {a} woman in her pangs. a Damascus is waxed feeble, [and] turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on [her]: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as {a} woman in travail. a And I will kindle {a} fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad. a Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived {a} purpose against you. a And their camels shall be {a} booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD. a And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle {a} spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD. a And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] {a} desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man dwell in it. a And Hazor shall be {a} dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man dwell in it. a Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up {a} standard; publish, [and] conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces. a For out of the north there cometh up {a} nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast. a They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, [saying], Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in {a} perpetual covenant [that] shall not be forgotten. a For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows [shall be] as of {a} mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. a And Chaldea shall be {a} spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD. a Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] a wilderness, {a} dry land, and a desert. a Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] {a} wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. a Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] a wilderness, a dry land, and {a} desert. a Israel [is] {a} scattered sheep; the lions have driven [him] away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. A {A} sound of battle [is] in the land, and of great destruction. a How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become {a} desolation among the nations! a I have laid {a} snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. a And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle {a} fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. A {A} sword [is] upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise [men]. a A sword [is] upon the liars; and they shall dote: {a} sword [is] upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. A {A} sword [is] upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword [is] upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. a A sword [is] upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that [are] in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: {a} sword [is] upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. A {A} sword [is] upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that [are] in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword [is] upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. A {A} drought [is] upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it [is] the land of graven images, and they are mad upon [their] idols. a Behold, a people shall come from the north, and {a} great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. a Behold, {a} people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. a They shall hold the bow and the lance: they [are] cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, [every one] put in array, like {a} man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. a The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, [and] pangs as of {a} woman in travail. a Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who [is] {a} chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me? a Behold, he shall come up like {a} lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me? a Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, {a} destroying wind; a Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this [is] the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her {a} recompense. a Babylon [hath been] {a} golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. a The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up {a} shout against thee. a When he uttereth [his] voice, [there is] {a} multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. a Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee {a} burnt mountain. a And they shall not take of thee {a} stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. a And they shall not take of thee a stone for {a} corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. a And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor {a} stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. a Set ye up {a} standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars. a Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint {a} captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars. a And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon {a} desolation without an inhabitant. a For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet {a} little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. a For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like {a} threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. a Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like {a} dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out. a And Babylon shall become heaps, {a} dwellingplace for dragons, and astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. a In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep {a} perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. a Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, {a} land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of man pass thereby. a Her cities are a desolation, {a} dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of man pass thereby. a Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and {a} wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of man pass thereby. a Her cities are {a} desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of man pass thereby. a And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; {a} rumour shall both come [one] year, and after that in [another] year [shall come] a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. a And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come [one] year, and after that in [another] year [shall come] {a} rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. a A sound of {a} cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: A {A} sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: a Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, {a} noise of their voice is uttered: a And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise [men], her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep {a} perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts. a The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And [this] Seraiah [was] {a} quiet prince. a So Jeremiah wrote in {a} book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, [even] all these words that are written against Babylon. a And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind {a} stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: a And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits; and {a} fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers: [it was] hollow. a And {a} chapiter of brass [was] upon it; and the height of one chapiter [was] five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all [of] brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates [were] like unto these. a And there were ninety and six pomegranates on {a} side; [and] all the pomegranates upon the network [were] an hundred round about. a And [for] his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day {a} portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life. a And [for] his diet, there was {a} continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life. a How doth the city sit solitary, [that was] full of people! [how] is she become as {a} widow! she [that was] great among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, [how] is she become tributary! a From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread {a} net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate [and] faint all the day. a The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty [men] in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, [as] in {a} winepress. a Zion spreadeth forth her hands, [and there is] none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, [that] his adversaries [should be] round about him: Jerusalem is as {a} menstruous woman among them. a How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with {a} cloud in his anger, [and] cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger! a He hath cut off in [his] fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like {a} flaming fire, [which] devoureth round about. a And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it were of] {a} garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. a The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made {a} noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast. a The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of {a} solemn feast. a The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out {a} line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together. a Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like {a} river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. a Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, [and] children of {a} span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? a Thou hast called as in {a} solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed. a He [was] unto me [as] {a} bear lying in wait, [and as] a lion in secret places. a He [was] unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, [and as] {a} lion in secret places. a He hath bent his bow, and set me as {a} mark for the arrow. a I was {a} derision to all my people; [and] their song all the day. a It is] good that [{a} man] should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. a It is] good for {a} man that he bear the yoke in his youth. a To turn aside the right of {a} man before the face of the most High, a To subvert {a} man in his cause, the Lord approveth not. a Wherefore doth {a} living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? a Wherefore doth a living man complain, {a} man for the punishment of his sins? a Thou hast covered thyself with {a} cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through. a Fear and {a} snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. a Mine enemies chased me sore, like {a} bird, without cause. a They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast {a} stone upon me. a Render unto them {a} recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. a For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in {a} moment, and no hands stayed on her. a Their visage is blacker than {a} coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick. a Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like {a} stick. a The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled {a} fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. a As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for {a} nation [that] could not save [us]. a And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, {a} great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. a And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and {a} brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. a And I looked, and, behold, {a} whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. a And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and {a} fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. a Also out of the midst thereof [came] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness of {a} man. a And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their feet [was] like the sole of {a} calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. a And [they had] the hands of {a} man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. a As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of {a} lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. a As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of {a} man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. a And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of {a} flash of lightning. a The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of {a} wheel. a The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the colour of {a} beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. a The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work [was] as it were {a} wheel in the middle of a wheel. a And there was {a} voice from the firmament that [was] over their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings. a And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of {a} man above upon it. a And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of {a} sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. a And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was] the likeness of {a} throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. a As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard {a} voice of one that spake. a And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to {a} rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day. a And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been {a} prophet among them. a And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] {a} rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. a And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] {a} rebellious house. a And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of {a} book [was] therein; a And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, {a} roll of a book [was] therein; a For thou [art] not sent to {a} people of a strange speech and of an hard language, [but] to the house of Israel; a For thou [art] not sent to a people of {a} strange speech and of an hard language, [but] to the house of Israel; a Not to many people of {a} strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. a As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] {a} rebellious house. a Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of {a} great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place. a Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me {a} voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place. a I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and {a} noise of a great rushing. a I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of {a} great rushing. a Son of man, I have made thee {a} watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. a Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay {a} stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. a Again, When {a} righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. a And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them {a} reprover: for they [are] a rebellious house. a And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they [are] {a} rebellious house. a But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] {a} rebellious house. a Thou also, son of man, take thee {a} tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem: a And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast {a} mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it round about. a And lay siege against it, and build {a} fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it round about. a Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] {a} sign to the house of Israel. a Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it [for] {a} wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] a sign to the house of Israel. a And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for {a} year. a And thy meat which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels {a} day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. a And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee {a} barber's razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair]. a And thou, son of man, take thee {a} sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair]. a Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with {a} knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. a Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take {a} third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. a Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and {a} third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. a Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out {a} sword after them. a Thou shalt burn with fire {a} third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. a Thou shalt also take thereof {a} few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. a Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall {a} fire come forth into all the house of Israel. a A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter {a} third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. a A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out {a} sword after them. A {A} third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. a A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and {a} third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. a Moreover I will make thee waste, and {a} reproach among the nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. a So it shall be a reproach and {a} taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it]. a So it shall be {a} reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it]. a And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring {a} sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. a Yet will I leave {a} remnant, that ye may have [some] that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. a And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go {a} whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. a Violence is risen up into {a} rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them. a And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for {a} spoil; and they shall pollute it. a And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for {a} prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it. a Make {a} chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. a Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek {a} vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. a Then I beheld, and lo {a} likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. a And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by {a} lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. a And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold {a} hole in the wall. a Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold {a} door. a And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and {a} thick cloud of incense went up. a Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? Is it {a} light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. a Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with {a} loud voice, [yet] will I not hear them. a He cried also in mine ears with {a} loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand. a And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man {a} slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. a And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with {a} writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar. a And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set {a} mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. a Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of {a} throne. a Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were {a} sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. a And there appeared in the cherubims the form of {a} man's hand under their wings. a And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of {a} beryl stone. a And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of {a} wheel. a And [as for] their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if {a} wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. a And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of {a} cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. a And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a cherub, and the second face [was] the face of {a} man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. a And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the face of a cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the third the face of {a} lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. a Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of {a} man [was] under their wings. a Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring {a} sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD. a And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make {a} full end of the remnant of Israel? a And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with {a} loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel? a Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as {a} little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. a And I will give them one heart, and I will put {a} new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: a Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in {a} vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me. a Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they [are] {a} rebellious house. a Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of {a} rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they [are] a rebellious house. a Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they [be] {a} rebellious house. a In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders, [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee [for] {a} sign unto the house of Israel. a But I will leave {a} few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. a Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as {a} proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. a Have ye not seen {a} vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have not spoken? a Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken {a} lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have not spoken? a Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up {a} wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]: a Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and {a} stormy wind shall rend [it]. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with {a} stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it]. a For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to {a} prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: a And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and {a} proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. a And I will set my face against that man, and will make him {a} sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. a And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken {a} thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. a Or [if] I bring {a} sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: a Or [if] I send {a} pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: a Yet, behold, therein shall be left {a} remnant that shall be brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] concerning all that I have brought upon it. a Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, [or than] {a} branch which is among the trees of the forest? a Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take {a} pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? a And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed {a} trespass, saith the Lord GOD. a Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into {a} covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. a I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and {a} chain on thy neck. a And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and {a} beautiful crown upon thine head. a And I put {a} jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. a Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into {a} kingdom. a My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for {a} sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD. a Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms {a} small matter, a But as] {a} wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh strangers instead of her husband! a And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest {a} reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary. a They shall also bring up {a} company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. a Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as [if that were] {a} very little [thing], thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. a That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art {a} comfort unto them. a Son of man, put forth {a} riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; a Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak {a} parable unto the house of Israel; A And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; {A} great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: a He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in {a} city of merchants. a He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into {a} land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants. a He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] {a} willow tree. a He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in {a} fruitful field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow tree. a And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became {a} vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. a And it grew, and became {a} spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. a It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be {a} goodly vine. a It was planted in {a} good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. a And hath taken of the king's seed, and made {a} covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land: a Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set [it]; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs {a} tender one, and will plant [it] upon an high mountain and eminent: a In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be {a} goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. a But if {a} man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, a And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to {a} menstruous woman, a And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with {a} garment; a If he beget a son [that is] {a} robber, a shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things], a If he beget a son [that is] a robber, {a} shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things], a If he beget {a} son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things], a Now, lo, [if] he beget {a} son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like, a Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with {a} garment, a When {a} righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. a Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you {a} new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? a Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and {a} new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? a Moreover take thou up {a} lamentation for the princes of Israel, A And say, What [is] thy mother? {A} lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. a And she brought up one of her whelps: it became {a} young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men. a Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, [and] made him {a} young lion. a And he went up and down among the lions, he became {a} young lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men. a Thy mother [is] like {a} vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. a And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in {a} dry and thirsty ground. a And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule. This [is] {a} lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. a And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] {a} sceptre to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. a And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for {a} lamentation. a And fire is gone out of {a} rod of her branches, [which] hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. a In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into {a} land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands: a And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which [if] {a} man do, he shall even live in them. a Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be {a} sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them. a But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which [if] {a} man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. a And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be {a} sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God. a Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which [if] {a} man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. a Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed {a} trespass against me. a As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with {a} stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: a As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with {a} mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: a And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with {a} mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. a And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with {a} stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. a And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle {a} fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. a Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, {a} sword is sharpened, and also furbished: A Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, {A} sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: a It is sharpened to make {a} sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, [as] every tree. a Because [it is] {a} trial, and what if [the sword] contemn even the rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD. a Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou {a} place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city. a Appoint {a} way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced. a At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast {a} mount, [and] to build a fort. a At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast a mount, [and] to build {a} fort. a And it shall be unto them as {a} false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken. a Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine {a} lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end. a Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and {a} mocking to all countries. a Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee {a} reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries. a There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like {a} roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. a There is] {a} conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. a And I sought for {a} man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. a I will do these [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone {a} whoring after the heathen, [and] because thou art polluted with their idols. a And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom {a} messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments, a And satest upon {a} stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. a And satest upon a stately bed, and {a} table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. a And a voice of {a} multitude being at ease [was] with her: and with the men of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads. a And {a} voice of a multitude being at ease [was] with her: and with the men of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads. a Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto {a} woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women. a For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up {a} company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled. a And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on {a} pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it: a And utter {a} parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it: a For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of {a} rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; a That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of {a} rock, that it should not be covered. a Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with {a} stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. a Thus Ezekiel is unto you {a} sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. a In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be {a} sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. a Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for {a} possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. a And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites {a} couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. a And I will make Rabbah {a} stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. a Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for {a} spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD. a Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with {a} despiteful heart, to destroy [it] for the old hatred; a And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of {a} rock. a It shall be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become {a} spoil to the nations. a It shall be [{a} place for] the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. a For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, {a} king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. a He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast {a} mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. a He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make {a} fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. a By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into {a} city wherein is made a breach. a By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made {a} breach. a And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make {a} prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. a And they shall make {a} spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. a And I will make thee like the top of {a} rock: thou shalt be [a place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD. a And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be [{a} place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD. a And they shall take up {a} lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it! a For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee {a} desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; a I will make thee {a} terror, and thou [shalt be] no [more]: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD. a Now, thou son of man, take up {a} lamentation for Tyrus; a And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, [which art] {a} merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty. a The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [were] the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] {a} present horns of ivory and ebony. a And in their wailing they shall take up {a} lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, [saying], What [city is] like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? a The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be {a} terror, and never [shalt be] any more. a Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] {a} God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: a Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] a God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] {a} man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: a Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God? but thou [shalt be] {a} man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. a Son of man, take up {a} lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. a Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth {a} fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. a All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be {a} terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more. a And there shall be no more {a} pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. a And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] the LORD, because they have been {a} staff of reed to the house of Israel. a When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at {a} stand. a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring {a} sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. a And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there {a} base kingdom. a Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve {a} great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: a For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is] near, {a} cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. a And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have set {a} fire in Egypt, and [when] all her helpers shall be destroyed. a Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more {a} prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. a Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put {a} fear in the land of Egypt. a At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, {a} cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity. a Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put {a} roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. a And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of {a} deadly wounded [man]. a Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with {a} shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. a Behold, the Assyrian [was] {a} cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. a Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused {a} mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. a Son of man, take up {a} lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou [art] as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. a Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like {a} young lion of the nations, and thou [art] as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. a Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou [art] as {a} whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers. a Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with {a} company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net. a And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with {a} cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. a They have set her {a} bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain. a Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon {a} land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: a Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take {a} man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: a So thou, O son of man, I have set thee {a} watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. a And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath {a} pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. a And, lo, thou [art] unto them as {a} very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. a And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that {a} prophet hath been among them. a As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became {a} prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because [there was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; a As {a} shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. a I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] {a} fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. a I will feed them in {a} good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. a I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in {a} good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. a Seemeth it] {a} small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? a Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be {a} prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. a And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David {a} prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it]. a And I will make with them {a} covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. a And I will make them and the places round about my hill {a} blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. a And they shall no more be {a} prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid. a And I will raise up for them {a} plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. a Because thou hast had {a} perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end: a Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be {a} possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people: a Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became {a} prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that [are] round about; a Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all [their] heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for {a} prey. a Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of {a} removed woman. A {A} new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. a A new heart also will I give you, and {a} new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. a Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do [it] for them; I will increase them with men like {a} flock. a So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold {a} shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. a So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was {a} noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. a Moreover I will make {a} covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. a And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] {a} great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: a Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou {a} guard unto them. a Thou shalt ascend and come like {a} storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. a Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like {a} cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. a To take a spoil, and to take {a} prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. a To take {a} spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. a Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take {a} spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? a Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take {a} prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? a Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take {a} great spoil? a And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, {a} great company, and a mighty army: a And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and {a} mighty army: a And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as {a} cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. a For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be {a} great shaking in the land of Israel; a And I will call for {a} sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. a And I will send {a} fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. a And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give unto Gog {a} place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of Hamongog. a Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and it shall be to them {a} renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD. a And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when [any] seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up {a} sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. a And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when [any] seeth {a} man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. a And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, [even] {a} great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. a In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of {a} city on the south. a In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon {a} very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a city on the south. a And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] {a} man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. a And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with {a} line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. a And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and {a} measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. a And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand {a} measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. a And behold {a} wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. a Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, [there were] chambers, and {a} pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers [were] upon the pavement. a After that he brought me toward the south, and behold {a} gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures. a And [there was] {a} gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits. a And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of {a} cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. a And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and {a} cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice. a And [there was] an enlarging, and {a} winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward, and so increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the midst. a I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers [were] {a} full reed of six great cubits. a And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree [was] between a cherub and {a} cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces; a And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree [was] between {a} cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces; a And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that {a} palm tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces; a So that the face of {a} man [was] toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house round about. a So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of {a} young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house round about. a And before the chambers [was] {a} walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. a And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, {a} way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. a And according to the doors of the chambers that [were] toward the south [was] {a} door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them. a He measured it by the four sides: it had {a} wall round about, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. a He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make {a} separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. a And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like {a} noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. a And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] {a} cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom [shall be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of the altar. a And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and an hand breadth;
