1Woe to the apostate children, saith the Lord: ye have framed counsel, not by me, and covenants not by my Spirit, to add sins to sins:
1Woe 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:
2[even] they that proceed to go down into Egypt, but they have not enquired of me, that they might be helped by Pharao, and protected by the Egyptians.
2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3For the protection of Pharao shall be to you a disgrace, and [there shall be] a reproach to them that trust in Egypt .
3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4For there are princes in Tanes, evil messengers.
4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5In vain shall they labour [in seeking] to a people, which shall not profit them for help , but [shall be] for a shameand reproach.
5They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6The Vision of the Quadrupeds in the Desert. In affliction and distress, [where are] the lion and lion's whelp, thence [come] also asps, and the young of flying asps, [there shall they be] who bore their wealth on assesand camelsto a nation which shall not profit them.
6The 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.
7The Egyptians shall help you utterly in vain: tell them, This your consolation is vain.
7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8Now then sit down and write these words on a tablet, and in a book; for these things shall be for [many long] days, and even for ever.
8Now 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:
9For the people is disobedient, false children, who would not hear the law of God:
9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10who say to the prophets, Report not to us; and to them that see visions, Speak [them] not to us , but speak and report to us another error;
10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11and turn us aside from this way; remove from us this path, and remove from us the oracle of Israel .
11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have refused to obey these words, and have trusted in falsehood; and because thou hast murmured, and been confident in this respect:
12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13therefore shall this sin be to you as a wall suddenly falling when a strong city has been taken, of which the fall is very near at hand.
13Therefore 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.
14And the fall thereof shall be as the breaking of an earthen vessel, [as] small fragments of a pitcher, so that thou shouldest not find among them a sherd, with which thou mightest take up fire , and with which thou shouldest draw a little water .
14And 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.
15Thus saith the Lord , the Holy Lord of Israel; When thou shalt turn and mourn, then thou shalt be saved; and thou shalt know where thou wast, when thou didst trust in vanities: [then] your strength became vain, yet ye would not hearken:
15For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16but ye said, We will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will be aided by swift riders; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
16But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17A thousand shall flee because of the voice of one, and many shall flee on account of the voice of five; until ye be left as a signal-post upon a mountain, and as one bearing an ensign upon a hill.
17One 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.
18And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exaltedthat he may have mercy upon you: because the Lord your God is a judge: blessed are they that stay themselves upon him.
18And 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.
19For the holy people shall dwell in Sion: and [whereas] Jerusalem has wept bitterly, [saying], Pity me; he shall pity thee: when he perceived the voice of thy cry, he hearkened to thee.
19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20And [though] the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and scant water , yet they that cause thee to err shall no more at all draw nigh to thee; for thine eyes shall see those that cause thee to err,
20And 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:
21and thine ears shall hear the words of them that went after thee to lead thee astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or to the left.
21And 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.
22And thou shalt pollute the plated idols, and thou shalt grind to powder the gilt ones, and shalt scatter them as the water of a removed [woman], and thou shalt thrust them forth as dung.
22Ye 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.
23Then shall there be rain to the seed of thy land; and the bread of the fruit of thy land shall be plenteous and rich: and thy cattle shall feed in that day in a fertile and spacious place.
23Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24Your bulls and your oxen that till the ground, shall eat chaff mixed with winnowed barley.
24The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25And there shall be upon every lofty mountainand upon every high hill, water running in that day , when many shall perish, and when the towers shall fall.
25And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfoldin the day when the Lord shall heal the breach of his people, and shall heal the pain of thy wound.
26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27Behold, the name of the Lord comes after a [long] time, burning wrath: the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger, and the anger of his wrath shall devour as fire.
27Behold, 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:
28And his breath, as rushing water in a valley, shall reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for [their] vain error: error also shall pursue them, and overtake them .
28And 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.
29Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice, into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel?
29Ye 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.
30And the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard, and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and angerand devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and [his wrath shall be] as water and violent hail.
30And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew 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.
31For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, [even] by the stroke wherewith he shall smite them.
31For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32And it shall happen to him from every side, [that] they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.
32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33For thou shalt be required before [thy] time: has it been prepared for thee also to reign? nay, God has [prepared for thee] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.
33For 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.
1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, who trust in horses and chariots, for they are many; and in horses, [which are] a great multitude; and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought the Lord.
1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!
2Therefore he has wisely brought evils upon them, and his word shall not be frustrated; and he shall rise up against the houses of wicked men, and against their vain hope,
2Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3[even] an Egyptian, a man, and not God; the flesh of horses , and there is no help [in them]: but the Lord shall bring his hand upon them, and the helpers shall fail, and all shall perish together.
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
4For thus said the Lord to me, As a lion would roar, or a lion's whelp over prey which he has taken, and cry over it, until the mountains are filled with his voice, and [the animals] are awe-struck and tremble at the fierceness of his wrath: so the Lord of hosts shall descend to fight upon the mount Sion, [even] upon her mountains.
4For 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.
5As birds flying, so shall the Lord of hosts defend ; he shall defend Jerusalem, and he shall rescue, and save and deliver.
5As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
6Turn, ye children of Israel, who devise a deep and sinful counsel.
6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7For in that day men shall renounce their silver idols and [their] golden idols , which their hands made .
7For 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.
8And the Assyrian shall fall: not the swordof a great man, nor the swordof a mean manshall devour him; neither shall he flee from the face of the sword: but the young men shall be overthrown:
8Then 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.
9for they shall be compassed with rocks as with a trench, and shall be worsted; and he that flees shall be taken. Thus saith the Lord, Blessed is he that has a seed in Sion, and household friends in Jerusalem.
9And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
1For, behold, a righteous king shall reign , and princes shall govern with judgment.
1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.
2And 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.
3And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear .
3And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.
4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.
5The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.
6For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.
7The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.
8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, hearken to my words.
9Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
10Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off, it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.
10Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
11Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;
11Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12and beat on your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.
12They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.
13Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;
14Because 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;
15until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.
15Until 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.
16Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.
16Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever.
17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.
18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.
19When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
20Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
