1 # Hear <08085> (8798) ye the word <01697> which the LORD <03068> speaketh <01696> (8765) unto you, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>:
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Learn <03925> (8799) not the way <01870> of the heathen <01471>, and be not dismayed <02865> (8735) at the signs <0226> of heaven <08064>; for the heathen <01471> are dismayed <02865> (8735) at them <01992>.
3 For the customs <02708> of the people <05971> are vain <01892>: for one cutteth <03772> (8804) a tree <06086> out of the forest <03293>, the work <04639> of the hands <03027> of the workman <02796>, with the axe <04621> .
4 They deck <03302> (8762) it with silver <03701> and with gold <02091>; they fasten <02388> (8762) it with nails <04548> and with hammers <04717>, that it move <06328> (8686) not.
5 They are upright <04749> as the palm tree <08560>, but speak <01696> (8762) not: they must needs <05375> (8800) be borne <05375> (8735), because they cannot go <06805> (8799). Be not afraid <03372> (8799) of them; for they cannot do evil <07489> (8686), neither also is it in them to do good <03190> (8687).
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD <03068>; thou art great <01419>, and thy name <08034> is great <01419> in might <01369>.
7 Who would not fear <03372> (8799) thee, O King <04428> of nations <01471>? for to thee doth it appertain <02969> (8804): forasmuch as among all the wise <02450> men of the nations <01471>, and in all their kingdoms <04438>, there is none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether <0259> brutish <01197> (8799) and foolish <03688> (8799): the stock <06086> is a doctrine <04148> of vanities <01892>.
9 Silver <03701> spread into plates <07554> (8794) is brought <0935> (8714) from Tarshish <08659>, and gold <02091> from Uphaz <0210>, the work <04639> of the workman <02796>, and of the hands <03027> of the founder <06884> (8802): blue <08504> and purple <0713> is their clothing <03830>: they are all the work <04639> of cunning <02450> men.
10 But the LORD <03068> is the true <0571> God <0430>, he is the living <02416> God <0430>, and an everlasting <05769> king <04428>: at his wrath <07110> the earth <0776> shall tremble <07493> (8799), and the nations <01471> shall not be able to abide <03557> (8686) his indignation <02195>.
11 Thus <01836> shall ye say <0560> (8748) unto them, The gods <0426> that have not <03809> made <05648> (8754) the heavens <08065> and the earth <0778>, even they shall perish <07> (8748) from the earth <0772>, and from under <08460> these <0429> heavens <08065>.
12 He hath made <06213> (8802) the earth <0776> by his power <03581>, he hath established <03559> (8688) the world <08398> by his wisdom <02451>, and hath stretched out <05186> (8804) the heavens <08064> by his discretion <08394> .
13 When he uttereth <05414> (8800) his voice <06963>, there is a multitude <01995> of waters <04325> in the heavens <08064>, and he causeth the vapours <05387> to ascend <05927> (8686) from the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>; he maketh <06213> (8804) lightnings <01300> with rain <04306>, and bringeth forth <03318> (8686) the wind <07307> out of his treasures <0214>.
 - WIND OF GOD
14 Every man <0120> is brutish <01197> (8738) in his knowledge <01847>: every founder <06884> (8802) is confounded <03001> (8689) by the graven image <06459>: for his molten image <05262> is falsehood <08267>, and there is no breath <07307> in them.
15 They are vanity <01892>, and the work <04639> of errors <08595>: in the time <06256> of their visitation <06486> they shall perish <06> (8799).
16 The portion <02506> of Jacob <03290> is not like them: for he is the former <03335> (8802) of all things ; and Israel <03478> is the rod <07626> of his inheritance <05159>: The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> is his name <08034>.
17 # Gather up <0622> (8798) thy wares <03666> out of the land <0776>, O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of the fortress <04692>.
18 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I will sling <07049> (8802) out the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> at this once <06471>, and will distress <06887> (8689) them, that they may find <04672> (8799) it so.
19 Woe <0188> is me for my hurt <07667>! my wound <04347> is grievous <02470> (8737): but I said <0559> (8804), Truly <0389> this is a grief <02483>, and I must bear <05375> (8799) it.
20 My tabernacle <0168> is spoiled <07703> (8795), and all my cords <04340> are broken <05423> (8738) : my children <01121> are gone forth <03318> (8804) of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth <05186> (8802) my tent <0168> any more, and to set up <06965> (8688) my curtains <03407>.
21 For the pastors <07462> (8802) are become brutish <01197> (8738), and have not sought <01875> (8804) the LORD <03068>: therefore they shall not prosper <07919> (8689), and all their flocks <04830> shall be scattered <06327> (8738) .
 - PASTORS
22 Behold, the noise <06963> of the bruit <08052> is come <0935> (8802), and a great <01419> commotion <07494> out of the north <06828> country <0776>, to make <07760> (8800) the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> desolate <08077>, and a den <04583> of dragons <08577>.
23 O LORD <03068>, I know <03045> (8804) that the way <01870> of man <0120> is not in himself: it is not in man <0376> that walketh <01980> (8802) to direct <03559> (8687) his steps <06806>.
24 O LORD <03068>, correct <03256> (8761) me, but with judgment <04941>; not in thine anger <0639>, lest thou bring me to nothing <04591> (8686).
25 Pour out <08210> (8798) thy fury <02534> upon the heathen <01471> that know <03045> (8804) thee not, and upon the families <04940> that call <07121> (8804) not on thy name <08034>: for they have eaten up <0398> (8804) Jacob <03290>, and devoured <0398> (8804) him, and consumed <03615> (8762) him, and have made his habitation <05116> desolate <08074> (8689).
