1 # Woe <01945> to the rebellious <05637> (8802) children <01121>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that take <06213> (8800) counsel <06098>, but not of me; and that cover <05258> (8800) with a covering <04541> , but not of my spirit <07307>, that they may add <05595> (8800) sin <02403> to sin <02403>:
2 That walk <01980> (8802) to go down <03381> (8800) into Egypt <04714>, and have not asked <07592> (8804) at my mouth <06310>; to strengthen <05810> (8800) themselves in the strength <04581> of Pharaoh <06547>, and to trust <02620> (8800) in the shadow <06738> of Egypt <04714>!
3 Therefore shall the strength <04581> of Pharaoh <06547> be your shame <01322>, and the trust <02622> in the shadow <06738> of Egypt <04714> your confusion <03639>.
4 For his princes <08269> were at Zoan <06814>, and his ambassadors <04397> came <05060> (8686) to Hanes <02609>.
5 They were all ashamed <03001> (8689) of a people <05971> that could not profit <03276> (8686) them, nor be an help <05828> nor profit <03276> (8687), but a shame <01322>, and also a reproach <02781>.
6 The burden <04853> of the beasts <0929> of the south <05045>: into the land <0776> of trouble <06869> and anguish <06695>, from whence come the young <03833> and old lion <03918>, the viper <0660> and fiery <08314> <00> flying <05774> (8789) serpent <08314>, they will carry <05375> (8799) their riches <02428> upon the shoulders <03802> of young asses <05895>, and their treasures <0214> upon the bunches <01707> of camels <01581>, to a people <05971> that shall not profit <03276> (8686) them.
7 For the Egyptians <04714> shall help <05826> (8799) in vain <01892>, and to no purpose <07385>: therefore have I cried <07121> (8804) concerning this <02063>, Their <01992> strength <07293> is to sit still <07674>.
8 # Now go <0935> (8798), write <03789> (8798) it before them in a table <03871>, and note <02710> (8798) it in a book <05612>, that it may be for the time <03117> to come <0314> for <05704> ever <05703> and ever <05769> :
9 That this is a rebellious <04805> people <05971>, lying <03586> children <01121>, children <01121> that will <014> (8804) not hear <08085> (8800) the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>:
10 Which say <0559> (8804) to the seers <07200> (8802), See <07200> (8799) not; and to the prophets <02374>, Prophesy <02372> (8799) not unto us right things <05229>, speak <01696> (8761) unto us smooth things <02513> , prophesy <02372> (8798) deceits <04123>:
11 Get you out <05493> (8798) of the way <01870>, turn aside <05186> (8685) out of the path <0734>, cause the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478> to cease <07673> (8685) from before <06440> us.
12 Wherefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>, Because ye despise <03988> (8800) this word <01697>, and trust <0982> (8799) in oppression <06233> and perverseness <03868> (8737), and stay <08172> (8735) thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity <05771> shall be to you as a breach <06556> ready to fall <05307> (8802), swelling out <01158> (8737) in a high <07682> (8737) wall <02346>, whose breaking <07667> cometh <0935> (8799) suddenly <06597> at an instant <06621>.
14 And he shall break <07665> (8804) it as the breaking <07667> of the potters <03335> (8802)' vessel <05035> that is broken in pieces <03807> (8800); he shall not spare <02550> (8799): so that there shall not be found <04672> (8735) in the bursting <04386> of it a sherd <02789> to take <02846> (8800) fire <0784> from the hearth <03344> (8803) , or to take <02834> (8800) water <04325> withal out of the pit <01360>.
15 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478> ; In returning <07729> and rest <05183> shall ye be saved <03467> (8735); in quietness <08252> (8687) and in confidence <0985> shall be your strength <01369>: and ye would <014> (8804) not.
16 But ye said <0559> (8799), No; for we will flee <05127> (8799) upon horses <05483>; therefore shall ye flee <05127> (8799): and, We will ride <07392> (8799) upon the swift <07031>; therefore shall they that pursue <07291> (8802) you be swift <07043> (8735).
17 One <0259> thousand <0505> shall flee at <06440> the rebuke <01606> of one <0259>; at <06440> the rebuke <01606> of five <02568> shall ye flee <05127> (8799): till ye be left <03498> (8738) as a beacon <08650> upon the top <07218> of a mountain <02022>, and as an ensign <05251> on an hill <01389>.
18 # And therefore will the LORD <03068> wait <02442> (8762), that he may be gracious <02603> (8800) unto you, and therefore will he be exalted <07311> (8799), that he may have mercy <07355> (8763) upon you: for the LORD <03068> is a God <0430> of judgment <04941>: blessed <0835> are all they that wait <02442> (8802) for him.
19 For the people <05971> shall dwell <03427> (8799) in Zion <06726> at Jerusalem <03389>: thou shalt weep <01058> (8799) no more <01058> (8800): he will be very <02603> (8800) gracious <02603> (8799) unto thee at the voice <06963> of thy cry <02199> (8800); when he shall hear <08085> (8800) it, he will answer <06030> (8804) thee.
20 And though the Lord <0136> give <05414> (8804) you the bread <03899> of adversity <06862>, and the water <04325> of affliction <03906>, yet shall not thy teachers <03384> (8688) be removed into a corner <03670> (8735) any more, but thine eyes <05869> shall see <07200> (8802) thy teachers <03384> (8688):
21 And thine ears <0241> shall hear <08085> (8799) a word <01697> behind <0310> thee, saying <0559> (8800), This is the way <01870>, walk ye in it <03212> (8798), when ye turn to the right hand <0541> (8686), and when ye turn to the left <08041> (8686).
22 Ye shall defile <02930> (8765) also the covering <06826> of thy graven images <06456> of silver <03701>, and the ornament <0642> of thy molten images <04541> of gold <02091>: thou shalt cast them away <02219> (8799) as a menstruous cloth <01739> ; thou shalt say <0559> (8799) unto it, Get thee hence <03318> (8798).
23 Then shall he give <05414> (8804) the rain <04306> of thy seed <02233>, that thou shalt sow <02232> (8799) the ground <0127> withal; and bread <03899> of the increase <08393> of the earth <0127>, and it shall be fat <01879> and plenteous <08082>: in that day <03117> shall thy cattle <04735> feed <07462> (8799) in large <07337> (8737) pastures <03733>.
24 The oxen <0504> likewise and the young asses <05895> that ear <05647> (8802) the ground <0127> shall eat <0398> (8799) clean <02548> provender <01098>, which hath been winnowed <02219> (8802) with the shovel <07371> and with the fan <04214>.
25 And there shall be upon every high <01364> mountain <02022>, and upon every high <05375> (8737) hill <01389> , rivers <06388> and streams <02988> of waters <04325> in the day <03117> of the great <07227> slaughter <02027>, when the towers <04026> fall <05307> (8800).
26 Moreover the light <0216> of the moon <03842> shall be as the light <0216> of the sun <02535>, and the light <0216> of the sun <02535> shall be sevenfold <07659>, as the light <0216> of seven <07651> days <03117>, in the day <03117> that the LORD <03068> bindeth up <02280> (8800) the breach <07667> of his people <05971>, and healeth <07495> (8799) the stroke <04273> of their wound <04347>.
27 # Behold, the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> cometh <0935> (8804) from far <04801>, burning <01197> (8802) with his anger <0639>, and the burden <04858> thereof is heavy <03514>: his lips <08193> are full <04390> (8804) of indignation <02195>, and his tongue <03956> as a devouring <0398> (8802) fire <0784>:
28 And his breath <07307>, as an overflowing <07857> (8802) stream <05158>, shall reach to the midst <02673> (8799) of the neck <06677>, to sift <05130> (8687) the nations <01471> with the sieve <05299> of vanity <07723>: and there shall be a bridle <07448> in the jaws <03895> of the people <05971>, causing them to err <08582> (8688).
29 Ye shall have a song <07892>, as in the night <03915> when a holy <06942> <00> solemnity <02282> is kept <06942> (8692); and gladness <08057> of heart <03824>, as when one goeth <01980> (8802) with a pipe <02485> to come <0935> (8800) into the mountain <02022> of the LORD <03068>, to the mighty One <06697> of Israel <03478>.
30 And the LORD <03068> shall cause his glorious <01935> voice <06963> to be heard <08085> (8689), and shall shew <07200> (8686) the lighting down <05183> of his arm <02220>, with the indignation <02197> of his anger <0639>, and with the flame <03851> of a devouring <0398> (8802) fire <0784>, with scattering <05311>, and tempest <02230>, and hailstones <068> <01259>.
31 For through the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> shall the Assyrian <0804> be beaten down <02865> (8735), which smote <05221> (8686) with a rod <07626>.
32 And in every place <03605> where the grounded <04145> staff <04294> shall pass <04569>, which the LORD <03068> shall lay <05117> (8686) upon him, it shall be with tabrets <08596> and harps <03658>: and in battles <04421> of shaking <08573> will he fight <03898> (8738) with it.
33 For Tophet <08613> is ordained <06186> (8803) of old <0865>; yea, for the king <04428> it is prepared <03559> (8717); he hath made it deep <06009> (8689) and large <07337> (8689): the pile <04071> thereof is fire <0784> and much <07235> (8687) wood <06086>; the breath <05397> of the LORD <03068>, like a stream <05158> of brimstone <01614>, doth kindle <01197> (8802) it.
