⁹ Pity me, O Jehovah, for straits are to me: mine eye fell away; with trouble my soul and my belly.

¹³ For I heard the slander of many sojourning round about: in their sitting together against me they purposed to take away my soul

¹⁶ With profane mocking parasites, gnashing their teeth against me.

²¹ They will widen their mouth upon me: they said, Aha! aha our eye saw it.

¹² The unjust one meditated against the just, and gnashed upon him with his teeth.

¹⁶ For, for thee, O Jehovah, I waited: thou wilt answer, O Jehovah my God.

⁸ A word of Belial will press upon him: and when he lay down, he will not add to rise up.

⁸ The day Jehovah will command his mercy, and in the night the song with me; the prayer to the God of my life.

¹⁴ Thou wilt set us a parable among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. ¹⁵ All the day my shame before me, and the confusion of my face covered me,

² Fair of elevation, the joy of all the earth, is mount Zion, the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

² Out of Zion the perfection of beauty, God shone forth.

² Mine enemies panted after me all the day: for many warring against me proudly.

³ He will send from the heavens and he will save me; he rebuked him panting after me. Silence. God will send forth his mercy and his truth.

² Thou didst shake the earth; thou didst rend it: heal its breakings, for it is depressed.

⁸ Trust in him in all time; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Silence.

⁴ So I will bless thee in my life: in thy name will I lift up my hands.

³ I was wearied in my calling, my throat was dried up: mine eyes failed waiting for my God.

⁴ He shall judge the poor of the people, and save to the sons of the needy, and he will break in pieces him oppressing. ⁵ And they shall fear thee with the sun and before the moon, generation of generations. ⁶ He shall come down as rain upon a fleece, as showers of pouring rain upon the earth. ⁷ The just one shall break forth in his days, and a multitude of peace even till no moon. ⁸ And he shall rule from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the. ends of the earth. ⁹ Inhabitants of the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and the islands shall turn back a gift, the kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring a present ¹¹ And all kings shall worship to him: all nations shall serve him. ¹² For we will deliver the needy from the powerful one, and the poor and no helper to him. ¹³ He will spare for the poor and the needy, and he will save the souls of the needy. ¹⁴ From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul, and their blood shall be precious in his eyes. ¹⁵ And he shall live, and there shall be given to him from the gold of Sheba: and there shall always be supplications for him; all the day shall they praise him. ¹⁶ There shall be diffusion of grain in the earth upon the head of the mountains; its fruit shall shake as Lebanon, and they shall blossom from the city as the grass of the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall be forever: his name shall flourish before the sun: and they shall be praised in him: all nations shall pronounce him happy. ¹⁸ Praised be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, doing wonders himself alone. ¹⁹ And praised be the name of his glory forever; and his glory shall fill all the earth. Amen and Amen. ²⁰ The prayers of David son of Jesse were completed.

³ Lift up thy steps to desolations forever; all the evil of the enemy in the holy place. ⁴ Thine enemies roared in the midst of thine appointment; they set their signs, signs. ⁵ It will be known according to bringing the axes upwards upon the thicket of wood. ⁶ And now with axes and hammers they will beat her engravings. ⁷ They cast thy holy place into fire, to the earth they defiled the tent of thy name. ⁸ They said in their heart, We will rage against them together: they burnt up all the appointments of God in the earth. ⁹ We saw not our signs, no more a prophet: and not with us will it be known how long.

¹¹ Wherefore wilt thou turn back thy hand, and thy right hand? from the midst of thy bosom completely.

⁵ Ye shall not lift up your horn to elevation: ye will speak with an impudent neck.

¹⁰ And all the horns of the unjust will I cut off; the horns of the just one shall be exalted.

⁵⁹ God heard and he will overflow, and he will greatly contemn in Israel. ⁶⁰ And he cast off the tent of Shiloh, the tent he pitched among man. ⁶¹ And he will give his strength to captivity, and his beauty into the hand of the enemy. ⁶² And he will deliver his people to the sword, and he overflowed upon his inheritance. ⁶³ The fire devoured his young men, and his virgins wailed not ⁶⁴ His priests fell by the sword, and his widows wept not

⁵ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry forever? shall thy jealousy burn as fire?

¹² Wherefore didst thou break down her walls, and all passing by the way plucked her?

²⁴ And my faithfulness and my mercy with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

³⁹ Thou didst reject the covenant of thy servant: thou didst profane to the earth his consecration. ⁴⁰ Thou didst break down all his walls; thou didst set his fortifications a ruin.

⁴⁰ Thou didst break down all his walls; thou didst set his fortifications a ruin.

⁴² Thou didst raise up the right hand of his adversaries; thou didst cause all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴⁶ How long, O Jehovah, wilt thou hide thyself forever? Shall thy wrath burn as fire?

⁵ Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at the footstool of his feet; he is holy.

² For the mouth of the unjust, and the mouth of deceit opened against me; they eke with me the tongue of false-hood.

¹⁰ The unjust one shall see and be angry; shall gnash his teeth and he melted away: the desire of the unjust shall perish.

⁵⁵ I remembered thy name in the night, O Jehovah, and I will watch thy law.

¹³⁶ Mine eyes will bring down streams of waters because they will not watch thy laws.

¹⁴⁵ I called with all my heart: answer me, O Jehovah: I will watch thy laws.

¹⁴⁷ I anticipated the dawn, and I will cry: I hoped for thy words ¹⁴⁸ Mine eyes anticipated the watches to meditate in thy word.

³ Then they swallowed us down living, in the kindling of their anger against us:

⁷ We will come in to his dwellings: we will worship at the footstool of his feet

¹⁷ There will I cause the horn to David to spring up: I prepared a lamp for my Messiah.

² Lift up your hand to the holy place, and praise ye Jehovah.

² My prayer shall be prepared incense before thee; the lifting up my hands the gift of the evening.

² I will pour out before him my complaint; I will announce my straits before him.

⁸ And the daughter of Zion was left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a field of cucumbers, as a city besieged.

¹³ Ye shall not add to bring gifts of iniquity; incense, this an abomination to me; the new moon and the Sabbath, the calling of the assembly; I shall not be able to bear vanity and restraining.

³¹ And the strong was for tow, and his work for a spark, and they two were burnt together, and none quenching.

²⁶ And her entrances sighed and mourned; and being clean, she shall sit upon the earth.

⁵ And now I will make known to you now what I do to my vineyard, taking away its hedge, and it was for consuming, breaking down its wall, and it was for a treading down.

¹⁴ And Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day. ¹⁵ The old man and they lifting up faces, he the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, be the tail.

¹⁵ The old man and they lifting up faces, he the head; and the prophet teaching falsehood, be the tail. ¹⁶ And there will be those leading this people causing them to wander; and those being led being swallowed up.

¹⁶ And there will be those leading this people causing them to wander; and those being led being swallowed up. ¹⁷ For this upon their young men Jehovah shall not rejoice, and their orphans and their widows he will not compassionate; for they all are polluted and doing evil, and every mouth speaking folly. In all this his anger turned not back, and yet his hand stretched out

¹² How thou fallest from the heavens, brilliant star, son of the morning! thou wert cut off to the earth, overthrowing upon the nations! ¹³ And thou saidst in thy heart, I will go up to the heavens; from above to the stars of God I will lift up my throne, and I will sit upon the mountain of appointment in the thighs of the north. ¹⁴ I will go up upon the heights of the cloud: I will become like the Most High. ¹⁵ But to hades shalt thou come down, to the thighs of the pit

³ And in their places without they girded themselves with sackcloth: upon her roofs and in her streets every one shall wail, going down into weeping.

⁴ For this I said, Look ye away from me; I will be bitter in my weeping, ye shall not hasten to comfort me upon the desolation of the daughter of my people.

⁹ Jehovah of armies purposed it to profane the pride of all glory, to make light all the honored of the earth.

¹⁷ Fear, and the pit, and the snare, upon thee, thou inhabiters of the earth. ¹⁸ And it was he fleeing from the voice of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he coming up out of the midst of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from the height were opened, and the foundations of the earth, will tremble.

¹² And the fortress of the height of thy walls shall be brought low; be humbled, be struck to the earth, even to the dust.

⁵ For he bows down those dwelling in height; for the city set up on high he will bring it down; he will bring it down even to the earth; he will cause it to touch even to the dust

⁹ My soul desired thee in the night; also my spirit in the midst of me I will seek thee: for when thy judgments to the earth, those dwelling in the habitable globe will learn justice.

¹⁶ O Jehovah, in straits they looked after thee; they poured out a whispering thy correction to them. ¹⁷ As she conceiving will draw near to bring forth, she will be pained and cry out in her pangs, thus were we from before thee, O Jehovah.

¹¹ In its harvest being dried up, women shall break it off in coming, illuminating it: for it is a people not understanding: for this he making them will not compassionate them, and he forming them will not have mercy upon them.

¹⁷ And I set judgment to the line and justice to the weight: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, and the waters shall overflow the covering.

¹¹ And the pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and he stretched out upon it the line of desolation and the stones of emptiness.

²² And Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the house, will go in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, remembering, to Hezekiah, their garments rent, and they will announce to him the words of Rabshakeh.

²² This the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion despising to thee, deriding to thee; the daughter of Jerusalem shook her head after thee.

¹⁴ As the twittering swallow so shall I chirp: I shall murmur as the dove: mine eyes languished for height: O Jehovah, oppression is to me; be surety for me.

²⁵ And be will pour upon him the heat of his anger, and the strength of war: and it will burn him from round about, and he will not know; and it will feed upon him and he will not lay to the heart.

²⁸ And will defile the chiefs of the holy place, and will give Jacob to be devoted, and Israel for reproaches.

¹ Come down and sit upon the dust, thou virgin daughter of Babel, sit upon the earth: no throne, thou daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt not be added for them to call thee tender and delicate.

⁵ Sit thou silently and go into darkness, thou daughter of the Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be added for them to call thee The mistress of kingdoms ⁶ I was angry against my people; I defiled my inheritances, and I will give them into thine hand, and thou didst not set mercy to them; upon the old thou didst make heavy thy yoke greatly.

¹⁹ For thy wastes and thy desolations, and the land of thy destruction, for now it shall press for the inhabitants, and they swallowing thee up were far away.

¹⁷ Arise, arise, stand up, O Jerusalem, who drank from the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou didst drink the goblet cup of reeling, pressing out ¹⁸ None providing for her of all the sons she brought forth; and none holding by her hand of all the sons she caused to grow. ¹⁹ These two encountering thee; who shall be moved for thee? desolation and breaking, and famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? ²⁰ Thy sons fainted; they lay down upon the head of all the streets as an antelope in a net: being full of the wrath of Jehovah the rebuke of thy God.

²⁰ Thy sons fainted; they lay down upon the head of all the streets as an antelope in a net: being full of the wrath of Jehovah the rebuke of thy God.

¹² For this I will divide to him with many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; for which his soul was poured out to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; and he lifted up the sin of many, and he will supplicate for transgressors.

¹ Call with the throat; thou shalt not spare; as a trumpet lift up thy voice, and announce to my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sin.

⁶ And I:will tread down peoples in mine anger; and I will make them drunk in my wrath, and I will bring down their juice to the earth.

¹⁰ They embittered and grieved his holy spirit; and he will turn to them for an enemy; he fought against them.

¹⁶ For thou our Father, for Abraham knew us not, and Israel will not recognize us: thou Jehovah our Father redeeming us; thy name from eternity. ¹⁷ Wherefore, O Jehovah, wilt thou cause us to wander from thy ways, wilt thou harden our heart from thy fear? turn back for sake of thy servants, the tribes of thine inheritance. ¹⁸ For a little While the people of thy holy place possessed it: our adversaries trod down thy holy place.

¹⁸ For a little While the people of thy holy place possessed it: our adversaries trod down thy holy place. ¹⁹ We were from of old: thou didst not rule with them; thy name was not called upon them.

⁸ And now, O Jehovah, thou our Father; we the clay and thou forming us; and we all the work of thy hand. ⁹ Thou wilt not be angry, O Jehovah, even greatly, and not forever wilt thou remember iniquity: behold, look now, Ye are all thy people. ¹⁰ The cities of thy holy place were desert; Zion was a desert., Jerusalem a desolation.

¹⁰ The cities of thy holy place were desert; Zion was a desert., Jerusalem a desolation. ¹¹ The house of our holy place and our glory where our fathers praised thee, was for a burning of fire, and all our precious things were for desolation.

¹¹ The house of our holy place and our glory where our fathers praised thee, was for a burning of fire, and all our precious things were for desolation.

¹¹ The house of our holy place and our glory where our fathers praised thee, was for a burning of fire, and all our precious things were for desolation. ¹² For these wilt thou refrain thyself, O Jehovah? wilt thou be silent, and wilt thou humble us even greatly?

⁸ The priests said not Where is Jehovah? and they holding the law knew me not: and the shepherds transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and they went After what will not profit

⁴ Be circumcised to Jehovah, and remove the uncircumcision of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath shall come forth as fire, and burn, and none quenching it from the face of the evil of your doings.

¹⁹ My bowels, my bowels! I shall afflict the walls of my heart; my heart made commotion to me; I shall not be silent, for the voice of the trumpet thou didst hear, O my soul, the tumult of war.

³¹ For I heard. the voice as of her bringing forth, the anguish as of her bearing her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion, she will sigh, she will spread forth her hands, Wo now to me for my soul fainted for those slaying.

¹⁰ Go ye up upon her walls and destroy; and ye shall not make a completion: remove her twigs, for they are not to Jehovah.

³¹ The prophets prophesied in falsehood, and the priests will spread out with their hands; and my people loved it thus: and what will ye do to its last part

¹¹ I was filled with the wrath of Jehovah; I was weary holding up; to pour out upon the child in the street and upon the assembly of the young men together; for also the man with the woman shall be taken, the old man with the full of days.

¹³ For from their little even to their great, every one plundering, plundered; and from the prophet and even to the priest every one did falsehood. ¹⁴ And they will heal the breaking of the daughter of my people by making light, and saying, Peace, peace; and no peace.

²⁵ Thou shalt not go forth to the field, and thou shalt not go by the way; for the sword to the enemy, fear from round about.

¹² But go now to my place which is in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell there at the first, and see what I did to it from the face of the evil of my people Israel. ¹³ And now, because ye did all these works, says Jehovah, and I will speak to you, rising early and speaking, and ye heard not; and I will call you and ye answered not; ¹⁴ And I did to the house which my name was called upon it, which ye are trusting in it, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

²⁰ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah; Behold my anger and my wrath was poured out to this place, upon man, and upon cattle, and upon the tree of the field, and upon the fruit of the land; and it burnt and it shall not be quenched.

¹⁰ For this I will give their wives to others; their fields to those inheriting them: for from small and even to great all plundering a plunder, from the prophet and even to the priest, all did falsehood. ¹¹ And they will heal the breaking of the daughter of my people by making light of, saying, Peace, peace; and no peace.

¹⁴ For what are we sitting? gather ye together and we will go into the fortified cities, and we shall be silent there: for Jehovah our God caused us to cease, and he will give us to drink the water of poison, for we sinned against Jehovah.

¹⁹ Behold the voice of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from the land of those being far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? or her king not in her? wherefore did they irritate me with their carved images, with strange vanities?

²² Is there no balsam in Gilead, or healing there? for wherefore did not the health of the daughter of my people go up?

¹ Who will give my head waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears? and I will weep day and night for the wounded of the daughter of my people.

¹⁷ Thus said Jehovah of armies, Give heed, and call ye for the wailing women, and they shall come forth; and send ye to the wise women, and they shall come forth.

¹⁷ Thus said Jehovah of armies, Give heed, and call ye for the wailing women, and they shall come forth; and send ye to the wise women, and they shall come forth. ¹⁸ And they shall hasten and lift up a lamentation for us, and our eyes shall go down with tears, and our eyelashes shall shake out waters.

¹⁸ And they shall hasten and lift up a lamentation for us, and our eyes shall go down with tears, and our eyelashes shall shake out waters. ¹⁹ For a voice of lamentation was heard from Zion: How were we laid waste! we were greatly ashamed, for we forsook the land, and cast away our dwellings ²⁰ For hear, ye women, the word of Jehovah, and your ear shall receive the word of his mouth, and teach ye your daughters lamentation, and a woman her neighbor, the song of mourning. ²¹ For death came up into our windows, it came into our palaces to cut off the child from without, the young men from the streets.

²² For this, thus said Jehovah of armies, Behold me reviewing over them: their young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:

¹⁴ And I dashed them in pieces, a man against his brother, and the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, and I will not spare, and I will not compassionate from destroying them.

¹⁷ And if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in hiding places from the face of pride, and mine eye weeping shall weep and bring down tears, because the flock of Jehovah was taken captive.

² Judah mourned and her gates languished; they were darkened to the earth, and the outcry of Jerusalem went up.

¹³ And saying, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets saying to them, Ye shall not see the sword, and famine shall not be to you; for the peace of truth will I give to you in this place. ¹⁴ And Jehovah will say to me, The prophets are prophesying a lie in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spake not to them: a vision of falsehood and a divination, and nought, and the deceit of their heart they are prophesying to you.

¹⁴ And Jehovah will say to me, The prophets are prophesying a lie in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spake not to them: a vision of falsehood and a divination, and nought, and the deceit of their heart they are prophesying to you. ¹⁵ For this, thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets prophesying in my name, and I sent them not, and they saying, The sword and famine shall not be in this land; by the sword and by famine shall these prophets die.

¹⁵ For this, thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets prophesying in my name, and I sent them not, and they saying, The sword and famine shall not be in this land; by the sword and by famine shall these prophets die. ¹⁶ And the people which they are prophesying to them shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, from the face of the famine and the sword; and none to them burying them, their wives and their sons and their daughters; and I poured their evil upon them. ¹⁷ And say to them this word: Mine eyes shall bring down tears night and day, and they shall not rest: for the virgin daughter of my people was broken with a great breaking, a very sickly wound.

¹⁷ And say to them this word: Mine eyes shall bring down tears night and day, and they shall not rest: for the virgin daughter of my people was broken with a great breaking, a very sickly wound. ¹⁸ If I shall go forth into the field, and behold, the wounded of the sword and if I came into the city, and behold, they shall be sick with famine for also the prophet, also the priest went about to a land they knew not

²⁰ We knew, O Jehovah, our evil, the iniquity of our fathers: for we sinned to thee. ²¹ Thou wilt not despise us; for sake of thy name, thou wilt not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, thou wilt not break thy covenant with us.

¹ And Jehovah will say to me, If Moses shall stand, and Samuel, before my face, my soul not to this people: casting from my face they shall go forth.

² Thou shalt not take to thee a wife, and sons and daughters shall not be to thee in this place. ³ For thus said Jehovah concerning the sons, and concerning the daughters born in this place, and concerning their mothers bearing them, and concerning their fathers begetting them in this land: ⁴ Deaths of diseases shall they die; they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth, and by sword and by famine shall they be consumed, and their carcass was for food to the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth.

¹¹ And now, say now to the men of Judah, and concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said Jehovah: Behold, I will form evil against you, and purpose a purpose against you; turn ye back now each from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

¹⁶ To set their land for a desolation, eternal hissings; every one passing over it shall be astonished and shall shake with his head.

²¹ For this, give their sons to the famine, and pour them out upon the hands of the sword; and their wives shall be bereaved of offspring, and be widows; and their men shall be slain by death; their young men struck of the sword in battle.

⁸ And I set this city for a desolation, and for hissing: every one passing over it shall be astonished and shall hiss over all her blows. ⁹ And I caused them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his neighbor shall they eat in the straitness and in the distress which their enemies, and they seeking their souls, shall press upon them.

³ And it will be on the morrow, and Pashur will bring forth Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah will say to him, Jehovah called not thy name Pashur, but Terror from round about.

⁴ Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Behold me turning about the weapons of war which are in your hands which ye are fighting with them with the king of Babel, and the Chaldeans, pressing upon you without the wall, and I gathered you to the midst of this city. ⁵ And I warred with you with a hand stretched out and with an arm of strength, and in anger and in heat and in great wrath.

⁵ And I warred with you with a hand stretched out and with an arm of strength, and in anger and in heat and in great wrath.

⁷ And after this, says Jehovah, I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those being left in this city, from death, from the sword, and from famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them seeking their soul: and he smote them with the mouth of the sword; he shall not have compassion upon them, and he shall not spare, and he shall not pity.

¹² O house of David, thus said Jehovah, Judge judgment for the morning, and deliver him taken by force from the hand of him oppressing, lest my wrath shall go forth as fire, and burn, and none quenching from the face of the evil of your doings.

¹⁴ And I reviewed over you according to the fruit of your doings, says Jehovah: and I kindled a fire in her forest, and it consumed all round about her.

¹¹ For also the prophets, also the priests were polluted; also in my house I found their evil, says Jehovah.

¹¹ For also the prophets, also the priests were polluted; also in my house I found their evil, says Jehovah. ¹² For this their way shall be to them as slippery places in darkness: they shall be thrust away and they fell in it; for I will bring evil upon them, the year of their reviewing, says Jehovah.

¹² For this their way shall be to them as slippery places in darkness: they shall be thrust away and they fell in it; for I will bring evil upon them, the year of their reviewing, says Jehovah. ¹³ And I saw folly in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesied in Baal, and they will cause my people Israel to wander.

¹³ And I saw folly in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesied in Baal, and they will cause my people Israel to wander. ¹⁴ And in the prophets of Jerusalem I saw a horrible thing, committing adultery and going in falsehood: and they strengthened the hands of those doing evil, they turned not back a man from his evil: they were to me all of them as Sodom, and those dwelling in her as Gomorrah.

¹⁴ And in the prophets of Jerusalem I saw a horrible thing, committing adultery and going in falsehood: and they strengthened the hands of those doing evil, they turned not back a man from his evil: they were to me all of them as Sodom, and those dwelling in her as Gomorrah. ¹⁵ For this, thus said Jehovah of armies concerning the prophets, Behold me feeding them with wormwood, and I caused to drink the water of poison: for from the prophets of Jerusalem went forth profaneness to all the earth.

¹⁵ For this, thus said Jehovah of armies concerning the prophets, Behold me feeding them with wormwood, and I caused to drink the water of poison: for from the prophets of Jerusalem went forth profaneness to all the earth. ¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah of armies, Ye shall not hear to the words of the prophets prophesying to you; they making you vain: they will speak the vision of their heart, not from the mouth of Jehovah. ¹⁷ Saying to say to those despising the word of Jehovah, There shall be peace to you; and every one going in the stubbornness of his heart, they said, Evil shall not come to you.

²² And if they stood in my consultation, and they will cause my people to hear my word, and turn them back from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.

²⁵ I heard what the prophets said, prophesying a falsehood in my name, saying, I dreamed, I dreamed. ²⁶ How long is it in the heart of the prophets prophesying a lie, and prophesying the deceit of their heart? ²⁷ Reckoning to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they will recount a man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name in Baal. ²⁸ The prophet whom with him a dream, he will recount a dream; and whom my word with him, he will speak my word in truth. What to the straw with the grain? says Jehovah. ²⁹ So is not my word as fire? says Jehovah; and as a hammer, it will break the rock in pieces.

³¹ Behold me against the prophets, says Jehovah, taking their tongue, and they will mutter an oracle. ³² Behold me against them prophesying dreams of falsehood, says Jehovah, and they will recount them, and will cause my people to wander by their falsehoods and by their boasting; and I sent them not, and I commanded them not; and helping, they shall be of no profit to this people, says Jehovah. ³³ And when this people, or prophet, or priest, shall ask thee, saying, What the burden of Jehovah? and thou saidst to them, What burden? And I cast you off, says Jehovah. ³⁴ And the prophet and the priest and the people which shall say, The burden of Jehovah, and I reviewed upon that man, and upon his house.

³⁶ And ye shall no more make mention of the burden of Jehovah, for the burden to a man shall be his word; and ye perverted the words of the living God, Jehovah of armies our God.

⁹ Behold me sending, and I took all the families of the north, says Jehovah, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant, and I brought them against this land and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and I devoted them to destruction, and I set them for a desolation and for a hissing, and for perpetual wastes.

¹⁸ Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and her kings, her chiefs, to give them for a waste and for a desolation, and for a hissing and for a cursing; as this day.

⁶ And I gave this house as Shiloh, and this city I will give for cursing to all the nations of the earth.

¹⁸ Micah the Morasthite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he will say to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus said Jehovah of armies: Zion shall be ploughed a field, and Jerusalem shall be ruins, and the mountain of the house for the heights of a forest

⁹ And ye shall not hear to your prophets and to your divinations, and to your dreamers, and to those of you practicing magic, and to your sorcerers, which they are saying to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babel: ¹⁰ For they are prophesying a lie to you so as to remove you far off from your land; and I thrust you away, and ye perished.

¹⁴ And ye shall not bear to the words of the prophets, saying to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babel; for they are prophesying a lie to you. ¹⁵ For I sent them not, says Jehovah, and they are prophesying in my name for falsehood; for my thrusting you away, and ye perish, ye, and the prophets prophesying to you. ¹⁶ And to the priests and to all this people I spake, saying, Thus said Jehovah: Ye shall not hear to the words of your prophets prophesying to you, saying, Behold the vessels of the house of Jehovah being now turned back from Babel speedily: for they are prophesying a lie to you.

¹⁵ And Jeremiah the prophet will say to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; Jehovah sent thee not; and thou didst cause this people to trust upon falsehood.

⁸ For thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, Your prophets in the midst of you shall not deceive to you, and your diviners and you shall not hear to your dreams which ye dream. ⁹ For they are prophesying in falsehood to you in my name: I sent them not, says Jehovah.

¹⁸ And I pursued after them with the sword, with famine and with death, and I gave them for agitation to all the kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for astonishment, and for hissing and for a reproach among all the nations which I thrust them away there:

¹² For thus said Jehovah, Thy breaking is incurable, and thy blow sickly. ¹³ None judging thy judgment for binding up: no healing will come up to thee. ¹⁴ All loving thee forgat thee; they will not seek thee; for I struck thee the blow of an enemy, the correction of the cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; thy sins were strong.

¹⁴ All loving thee forgat thee; they will not seek thee; for I struck thee the blow of an enemy, the correction of the cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; thy sins were strong. ¹⁵ Why wilt thou cry for thy breaking? thy pain is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: thy sins were strong, I did these things to thee.

²⁹ And the Chaldeans warring against this city came, and they burnt this city in fire, and they burnt it and the houses which they burnt incense upon their roofs to Baal, and they poured out libations to other gods to irritate me.

³ Call to me and I will answer thee, and I will announce to thee great and mighty things which thou knewest them not ⁴ For thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, being torn away to the mounds and to the sword; ⁵ Coming to war with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the corpses of man whom I struck in mine anger and in my wrath, and that I hid my face from this city for all their wickedness.

⁷ Perhaps their mercy will fall before the face of Jehovah, and they will turn back each from his evil way: for great the anger and the wrath which Jehovah spake against this people.

¹⁹ And where now your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babel shall not come against you and against this land?

² In the eleventh year to Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth to the month, the city was broken.

⁸ And the Chaldeans burnt the house of the king, and the house of the people, with fire, and they broke the walls of Jerusalem.

⁷ And now, thus said Jehovah, God of armies, God of Israel: Wherefore ye do great evil to your souls to cut off to you man and woman and child and suckling from the midst of Judah, not to leave a remnant to you;

⁵ Wherefore did I see them terrified, drawing back behind? and their strong ones shall be broken, and they fled a flight, and they turned not: fear being round about, says Jehovah.

²⁵ The horn of Moab was cut off, and his arm was broken, says Jehovah.

⁷ All finding them consumed them: and their adversaries said, We shall not transgress, for they sinned against Jehovah the habitation of justice, and the hope of their fathers, Jehovah.

¹⁷ Israel a scattered sheep; the lions thrust away: first the king of Assur consumed him; and the last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel bound him fast

⁸ Babylon fell suddenly, and she will be broken: wail ye for her; take balsam for her pain, perhaps she will be healed. ⁹ We healed Babel, and she was not healed: forsake ye her and we will go each to his land: for her judgment reached to the heavens, and was lifted up even to the clouds.

²² And I broke in pieces with thee man and woman; and I broke in pieces with thee the old man and the boy; and I broke in pieces with thee the young man and the virgin;

³⁰ The strong ones of Babel ceased to fight; they dwelt in fastnesses; their strength failed; they were for women: they burned her dwellings; her bars were broken.

³⁴ Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel consumed us, he destroyed us, he set us an empty vessel, he swallowed us down as a dragon, he filled his belly with my delicacies, he thrust us away.

³⁷ And Babel was for heaps, a habitation of jackals, an astonishment and a hissing, from none inhabiting.

⁸ And the army of the Chaldeans will pursue after the king, and they will overtake Zedekiah in the sterile regions of Jericho; and all his strength was scattered from him. ⁹ And they will seize the king and they will bring him up to the king of Babel to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he will speak judgment with him.

¹¹ And he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babel will bind him with fetters and bring him to Babel and give him in the house of wards till the day of his death. ¹² And in the fifth month, in the tenth to the month, this year the nineteenth year to king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the cooks, standing before the face of the king of Babel, into Jerusalem, ¹³ And he will burn the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt in fire:

¹³ And he will burn the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt in fire: ¹⁴ And all the walls of Jerusalem round about, all the strength of the Chaldees which were with the chief of the cooks, brake down.

¹⁴ And all the walls of Jerusalem round about, all the strength of the Chaldees which were with the chief of the cooks, brake down. ¹⁵ And from the weak of the people, and the rest of the people being left in the city, and those falling away which fell to the king of Babel, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks carried into exile. ¹⁶ And from the weak of the land, Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks left for vine-dressers and for ploughmen. ¹⁷ And the pillars of brass which were to the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they will lift up their brass to Babel. ¹⁸ And the pots and the shovels and the snuffers and the vases and the dishes, and all the vessels of brass which they served in them, they took. ¹⁹ And the basins and the fire-pans and the vases and the pots and the chandeliers, and the dishes and the cups, which were of gold, gold, and which of silver, silver, the chief of the cooks took. ²⁰ The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve oxen of brass which were under the bases, which king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah; there was no weight to their brass of all these vessels. ²¹ And the pillars, eighteen cubits the height of the one pillar; and a thread of twelve cubits will surround it; and its thickness four fingers: it was hollow. ²² And a capital upon it of brass; and the height of the one capital, five cubits, and the net and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, all of brass. And according to these, to the second pillar and the pomegranates. ²³ And the pomegranates were ninety and six a side; all the pomegranates a hundred upon the net round about ²⁴ And the chief of the cooks will take Seraiah the priest, the head, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three watchers of the threshold: ²⁵ And from the city he took one eunuch who was appointed over the men of war; and seven men seeing the face of the king, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the chief of the army mustering the people of the land; and sixty men from the people of the land being found in the midst of the city. ²⁶ And Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks, will take them, and will bring them to the king of Babel to Riblah. ²⁷ And the king of Babel will strike them, and kill them in Riblah in the land of Hamath. And Judah will be carried into exile from his land.

¹ How sat the city alone being many in people she was as a widow: being many among the nations, being a leader in the provinces, she became for tribute. ² Weeping, she will weep in the night, and her tears upon her cheeks: no comfort to her from all loving her: all her friends dealt faithlessly with her, they were to her for enemies. ³ Judah was carried away captive from affliction, and from the greatness of her serving: she dwelt in the nations, she found no rest: all pursuing her overtook her between straitnesses. ⁴ The ways of Zion mourn from none coming to the appointment: all her gates being desolated: her priests groaning, her virgins grieved, and it is bitterness to her. ⁵ Her adversaries were for head, her enemies were secure; for Jehovah afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children went into captivity before the face of him pressing.

⁸ Jerusalem sinned a sin; for this she was for a removing: all honoring her despised her, for they saw her nakedness: also she sighed, and she will turn away behind.

¹² Nothing to you, all ye passing by the way? Behold, and see if there is pain as my pain, which was done to me with which Jehovah afflicted in the day of the burning of his anger.

¹⁵ Jehovah contemned all my mighty ones in my midst: he called an appointment upon me to break my chosen ones: Jehovah trod the wine-press to the virgin, the daughter of Judah. ¹⁶ For these I weep; mine eye, mine eye will go down with water, for he comforting turning back my soul, removed far off from me: my sons were desolations, for the enemy prevailed.

¹⁸ Jehovah he is just: for I embittered his mouth: hear now, all ye peoples, and see my pain: my virgins and my chosen ones went into captivity. ¹⁹ I called to those loving me, they deceived me: my priests and my old men expired in the city, for they sought food for them, and they will turn back their souls. ²⁰ See, O Jehovah; for straits to me: my bowels were in a ferment; my heart turned in my midst; for embittering, I embittered: without, the sword bereaved; in the house, as death.

¹ How will Jehovah in his anger cover the daughter of Zion! he cast down from the heavens to the earth the beauty of Israel, and he remembered not the footstool of his feet in the day of his anger.

¹ How will Jehovah in his anger cover the daughter of Zion! he cast down from the heavens to the earth the beauty of Israel, and he remembered not the footstool of his feet in the day of his anger. ² Jehovah swallowed up, not pitying, all the seats of Jacob: he pulled down in his wrath the fortresses of the daughter of Judah; he caused to touch to the earth: he defiled the kingdom and her chiefs.

² Jehovah swallowed up, not pitying, all the seats of Jacob: he pulled down in his wrath the fortresses of the daughter of Judah; he caused to touch to the earth: he defiled the kingdom and her chiefs.

⁴ He bent his bow as an enemy: he set his right hand as an adversary, and be will slay all the delights of the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion: he poured his wrath as fire. ⁵ Jehovah was as an enemy: he swallowed up Israel, he swallowed up all her fortresses: he destroyed his fortifications, and he will multiply in the daughter of Judah sorrow and sighing. ⁶ And he will tear away as a garden his dwelling: he destroyed his appointment: Jehovah caused to forget the appointment in Zion, and the Sabbath, and he will despise in the wrath of his anger the king and the priest.

⁸ Jehovah purposed to destroy the walls of the daughter of Zion: he stretched out a line, he turned not back his hand from swallowing down: and the entrenchment will mourn, and the wall; together they languished.

¹¹ Mine eyes failed with tears, my bowels were in a ferment, my liver was poured out to the earth, upon the breaking of the daughter of my people; in the fainting of the child and suckling in the wide places of the city. ¹² To their mothers will they say, Where the grain and wine? in their languishing as the wounded in the broad places of the city, in the pouring out of their soul into their mothers bosom.

¹⁶ All thine enemies opened wide their mouth upon thee: they hissed and they will gnash the teeth: they said, We swallowed down: surely this the day we longed for; we found; we saw. ¹⁷ Jehovah did what he purposed; he completed his word which he commanded in days of old: he pulled down and he pitied not: and be will gladden the enemy over thee; he lifted up the horn of thine adversaries.

¹⁹ Arise, cry aloud in the night: at the head of the watches pour out thy heart as water before the face of Jehovah: lift up thy hands to him for the soul of thy young children fainting with hunger in the head of all the streets. ²⁰ See, O Jehovah, and look to whom thou didst accomplish this Shall the women eat their fruit, the children borne upon the hands? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the holy place of Jehovah? ²¹ The youth and old man lay down upon the earth of the streets; my virgins and my young men fell by the sword; thou didst slay in the day of thine anger; thou didst slay, thou didst not pity.

³ Surely he will turn back against me; he will turn his hand all the day.

¹² He bent his bow, he will set me up as a mark for the arrow. ¹³ He brought the sons of his quiver into my reins.

²⁸ He will sit alone and be silent, for he laid upon him.

⁴³ Thou didst cover with anger, and thou wilt pursue us: thou didst slay, thou didst not pity.

⁴³ Thou didst cover with anger, and thou wilt pursue us: thou didst slay, thou didst not pity. ⁴⁴ Thou didst cover over thyself with a cloud from a prayer passing through.

⁴⁶ All our enemies opened their mouth against us.

⁴⁸ Mine eye will bring down streams of water for the breaking of the daughter of my people.

⁴⁸ Mine eye will bring down streams of water for the breaking of the daughter of my people. ⁴⁹ Mine eye flowed and it will not be silent, from no intermission,

⁴⁹ Mine eye flowed and it will not be silent, from no intermission, ⁵⁰ Till Jehovah shall look forth and see from the heavens. ⁵¹ Mine eye will glean for my soul for all the daughters of my city.

¹ How will the gold become dim the good gold will be changed the stones of the holy place shall be poured out in the head of all the streets.

¹ How will the gold become dim the good gold will be changed the stones of the holy place shall be poured out in the head of all the streets. ² The precious sons of Zion being lifted up with fine gold, how they were reckoned for earthen vessels, the work of the hands of the potter. ³ Also the dragons draw out the breast, they suckled their sucklings: the daughter of my people violent as the ostriches in the desert.

³ Also the dragons draw out the breast, they suckled their sucklings: the daughter of my people violent as the ostriches in the desert. ⁴ The tongue of the suckling adhered to his palate in thirst: the young children asked for bread, none breaking bread to them.

⁴ The tongue of the suckling adhered to his palate in thirst: the young children asked for bread, none breaking bread to them. ⁵ They eating for dainties were desolate in the streets: they trusting upon scarlet embraced dung hills.

⁵ They eating for dainties were desolate in the streets: they trusting upon scarlet embraced dung hills. ⁶ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people will be great above the sin of Sodom being overthrown as in a moment, and no hands waited for her. ⁷ Her consecrated ones were pure above snow, they were white above milk, they were red of body above pearls, their figure sapphire: ⁸ Their form dark above blackness; they were not known in the streets: their skin adhered to their bones; it was dried up, it was as wood. ⁹ Those wounded by the sword were good above those wounded by famine: these will flow away, being thrust through from the produce of the field.

⁹ Those wounded by the sword were good above those wounded by famine: these will flow away, being thrust through from the produce of the field. ¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women boiled their children: they were for food to them in the breaking of the daughter of my people.

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women boiled their children: they were for food to them in the breaking of the daughter of my people.

¹³ From the sins of her prophets the iniquities of her priests shedding the blood of the just in her midst,

¹⁵ Remove the unclean one, call to them; remove, remove, ye shall not touch: for they were laid waste; they were shaken, say ye, among the nations: they shall not add to sojourn. ¹⁶ The face of Jehovah their portion; he will not add to look upon them: they accepted not the face of the priests, they compassionated not the old men.

²⁰ The spirit of our nostrils, the Messiah of Jehovah was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

¹² Chiefs were hung by their hand: the faces of old men were not honored.

¹⁴ Old men ceased from the gate, the chosen ones from their stringed instruments.

¹⁰ And he will spread it out before me: and it was written the face and the back side: and written upon it lamentations, sighing, and Wo.

¹⁰ For this the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I did judgments in thee, and I scattered all thy remnant to every wind. ¹¹ For this, I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if not because thou didst defile my holy place with all thine abominable things, and with all thine abominations, and I will also diminish; and mine eye shall not spare, and also I will not pity.

¹³ And mine anger was completed, and I caused my wrath to rest upon them, and I was comforted: and they shall know that I Jehovah spake in my zeal in my completing my wrath upon them.

¹⁶ In my sending the evil arrows of famine upon them which were for destruction, which I shall send to destroy you: and I will add famine upon you, and I broke to you the staff of bread.

¹² He being far off, in death shall he die; and he being near shall fall by the sword; and he remaining and he being besieged shall die by famine: and I finished my wrath upon them.

⁴ And mine eye shall not spare upon thee, and I will not pity: for I will give thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye knew that I am Jehovah.

⁸ The time drawing near I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I completed mine anger against thee: and I judged thee according to thy ways, and I gave upon thee all thine abominations. ⁹ And mine eye shall not spare, and I will not pity: I will give upon thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations, they shall be in the midst of thee; and ye knew that I am Jehovah striking.

⁹ And mine eye shall not spare, and I will not pity: I will give upon thee according to thy ways, and thine abominations, they shall be in the midst of thee; and ye knew that I am Jehovah striking.

¹⁸ And they girded on sackcloth and trembling covered them; and shame to all faces, and upon all heads, baldness.

²⁰ The matter of his ornament they set for pride; and they made the images of their abominations, their abominable things upon it: for this I gave it to them for uncleanness. ²¹ And I gave it into the hands of strangers for plunder, and to the unjust of the earth for a spoil; and they profaned it ²² And I turned my face from them, and they profaned my secret; and the rapacious came into it and profaned it

²⁴ And I brought the evil ones of the nations, and they inherited their houses: and I caused the pride of the strong ones to cease, and their holy places were profaned.

²⁶ And ruin upon ruin shall come, and report shall be to report; and they sought a vision from the prophet; and law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the old men.

¹⁸ And also I will do in wrath: mine eye shall not spare and I will not pity: and they shall call in mine ear with a great voice, and I will not hear them.

⁵ And to these he said in mine ears, Pass through into the city after him, and strike: your eye shall not spare, and ye shall not pity. ⁶ The old man, the young man, and the virgin, and little ones, and women, ye shall slay to destruction: and every man which upon him the mark, ye shall not touch; and ye shall begin from my holy place. And they will begin upon the old men which are before the house

¹⁰ And also I, mine eye shall not spare, and I will not pity, I gave their way upon their head.

¹² And the prince which is in the midst of them shall lift up upon the shoulder in thick darkness, and go forth: they shall break through into the wall to bring forth by it: he shall cover his face so that be shall not see the earth with the eye. ¹³ And I spread my net upon him, and he was taken in my net: and I brought him to Babel the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die.

¹³ And I spread my net upon him, and he was taken in my net: and I brought him to Babel the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die.

² Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel prophesying, and say to them prophesying from their heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. ³ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo upon the foolish prophets which are going after their spirit, and they saw not ⁴ Thy prophets were as the foxes in the sterile regions, 0 Israel. ⁵ Ye went not up into the breaches, and ye will wall in the wall upon the house of Israel to stand in the war in the day of Jehovah. ⁶ They saw vanity and a divination of falsehood, saying, says Jehovah: and Jehovah sent them not: and they waited to raise up the word. ⁷ Saw ye not a vision of falsehood, and ye said, a divination of a lie, and saying, says Jehovah; and I spake not ⁸ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye spake falsehood and saw a lie, for this, behold me against you, said the Lord Jehovah. ⁹ And mine hand shall be upon the prophets seeing falsehood, and divining a lie: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, and they shall not be written in the writing of the house of Israel, and to the land of Israel they shall not come in; and ye knew that I am the Lord Jehovah. ¹⁰ Because, and because they led my people astray, saying, Peace; and no peace; and he built a wall and they plastering it with plaster: ¹¹ Say to them plastering with plaster: And it shall fall: there was a violent rain poured out; and ye, O hailstones, shall fall; and the spirit of storms shall rend. ¹² And behold, the wall fell; shall it not be said to you, Where the plastering which ye plastered? ¹³ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I rent a spirit of storms in my wrath; and there shall be a violent shower overflowing in mine anger, and stones of hail in my wrath to finish. ¹⁴ And I broke in pieces the wall which ye plastered with plaster, and I caused it to touch the earth, and its foundation was uncovered and it fell, and ye were consumed in its midst: and ye knew that I am Jehovah. ¹⁵ And I finished my wrath upon the wall, and upon those plastering it with plaster, and saying to you, No wall, and none plastering it; ¹⁶ The prophets of Israel prophesying to Jerusalem, and seeing for her a vision of peace, and no peace, says the Lord Jehovah.

²² Because ye afflicted the heart of the just one with falsehood, and I afflicted him not; and to strengthen the hands of the evil one not to turn back from his evil way, to preserve him alive.

¹⁸ And he despised the oath to break the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand, and doing all these he shall not escape.

²⁰ And I spread my net upon him and he was taken in my net, and I brought him to Babel, and I contended with him there for his transgression which he transgressed against me.

²² And I turned back my hand; and I will do for sake of my name, that it was not profaned before the eyes of the nations which I brought them forth before their eyes.

²² As silver being melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in her midst; And ye knew that I Jehovah poured out my wrath upon you.

²⁵ A conspiracy of her prophets in her midst as a roaring lion rending the prey; they consumed the soul; they will take the wealth and the precious thing; they multiplied her widows in her midst

²⁸ And her prophets plastered plaster upon them, seeing vanity, and divining to them falsehood, saying Thus said the Lord Jehovah; and Jehovah spoke not

²¹ Say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold me profaning my holy place, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the pity of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom ye left, shall fall by the sword.

²⁵ And thou son of man, was it not in the day, I took from them their strength, the joy of their glory the desire of their eyes, the lifting up of their soul, their sons and their daughters.

³ And say to the sons of Ammon, Hear ye, the word of the Lord Jehovah, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy saying, Aha! to my holy place, when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate, and to the house of Judah, when they went into captivity.

⁶ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy striking the hand and thy stamping with the foot and thou wilt rejoice in soul with all contempt against the land of Israel

¹⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because the rovers did in vengeance, and they will avenge vengeance with contempt of heart to destroy, a perpetual enmity;

³ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Behold me against thee, O Tyre and I brought up many nations against thee as the sea brought up to its waves. ⁴ And they destroyed the walls of Tyre, and pulled down her towers and I swept away her dust from her,i and I gave her for a dry rock

³¹ And they made themselves bald with baldness for thee, and they girded themselves with sackcloth, and they wept for thee with bitterness of soul and bitter wailing.

¹⁴ Thou the cherub of expansion covering; and I gave thee: thou wert in the holy mountain of God; thou walkedst about in the midst of the stones of fire. ¹⁵ Thou shalt be perfected in thy ways from the day of thy being created even till iniquity was found in thee. ¹⁶ In the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou wilt sin: and I shall profane thee from the mountain of God, and destroying thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁸ And in Tahhapanes the day was darkened in my breaking there the rods of Egypt: and the pride of her strength ceased in her: she, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

²⁴ And I strengthened the arms of the king of Babel, and I gave my sword into his hand: and I brake the arms of Pharaoh, and he groaned the groanings of the wounded before his face.

⁷ And I covered the heavens in my quenching thee, and I darkened their stars; and I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not enlighten with its light ⁸ All the luminaries of light in the heavens I will darken them over thee, and I gave darkness upon thy land, says the Lord Jehovah.

³ For this, prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because for, because of making desolate, and panting after you from round about, for you to be a possession for the remainder of the nations, and ye will come up upon the lips of the tongue and a slander of the people:

¹⁸ And I will pour out my wrath upon them upon the blood which they poured out upon the land, and they defiled it by their blocks:

¹² And he will set up his words which he spake against us, and against our judges who judged us to bring against us a great evil: which was not done under all the heavens according to what was done in Jerusalem.

⁴ For many days shall the sons of Israel dwell, not a king and not a chief and not a sacrifice and not a pillar and it one ephod and teraphim

¹⁴ And they cried not to me in their heart, for they shall wail upon their beds: for corn and new wine they will assemble themselves together; they will turn aside against me..

⁸ Israel was swallowed down: now they were among the nations as a vessel no delight in it.

¹² But if they shall bring up their sons and I bereaved them from man: but also wo to them in my departing from them. ¹³ Ephraim, as I saw for Tyre, was planted in a habitation: and Ephraim to bring forth his sons to him slaying. ¹⁴ Give to them, O Jehovah: what wilt thou give? give to them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. ¹⁵ All their wickedness in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the evil of their doings I will drive them out from my house, I will not add to love them: all their chiefs are turning away. ¹⁶ Ephraim was smitten, their root was dried up, they shall not make fruit: also if they shall bring forth, and I destroyed the desires of their womb.

⁸ Wail as the virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

² A day of darkness and of thick darkness; a day of cloud and gloom as the morning spread upon the mountains: great and strong people; the like to him was not from forever, and after him there shall not be added even to the years of generation and generation.

⁵ And I sent a fire upon Judah, and it devoured the palaces of Jerusalem.

¹⁰ And I sent death among you in the way of Egypt: and I slew your young men with the sword, with the captivity of your horses; and I will bring up your camps with fire and in your anger, and ye turned not back even to me, says Jehovah.

¹³ For this the prudent one shall be silent in that time, for it is an evil time.

⁷ Thus he caused me to see: and behold, Jehovah stood upon a wall of lead, and lead in his hand. ⁸ And Jehovah will say to me, What seest thou, Amos? And saying, Lead. And Jehovah will say to me: Behold me setting lead in the midst of my people Israel: I will no more add to pass by to him.

³ The songs of the temple wailed in that day, says the Lord Jehovah; many a corpse in every place being cast forth: silence.

¹¹ Behold, the days coming, says the Lord Jehovah, and I sent famine into the land; not a faniine for bread, and not a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. ¹² And they wandered from sea even to sea, and from the north and even to the sunrising, they shall run up and down to seek the word of Jehovah and they shall not find. ¹³ In that day the fair virgins shall faint, and the young men, for thirst.

¹ I saw Jehovah standing upon the altar: and he will say, Strike the crown, and the thresholds shall tremble: and dash them in pieces upon the head of them all; and the last of them I will slay with the sword: the fleeing to them shall not flee, and he escaping to them shall not escape. ² If they shall break through into hades, from thence shall my hand take them; and if they shall go up to the heavens, from thence I will bring them down. ³ And if they shall hide in the head of Carmel, from thence will I search and take them; and if they shall be concealed from before mine eyes in the bottom of the sea, from thence I will command the serpent, and he bit them. ⁴ If they shall go into captivity before the face of their enemies, from thence I will command the sword and it slew them: and I set mine eyes upon them for evil and not for good.

¹² And thou shalt not look upon thy brother in the day of his calamity, and thou shalt not rejoice to the sons of Judah in the day of their perishing, and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of straits. ¹³ Thou shalt not come in to the gate of my people in the day of their misfortune; also thou shalt not look upon his evil in the day of his misfortune, and thou shalt not stretch forth upon his wealth in the day of his misfortune ¹⁴ Thou shalt not stand upon the fork of the roads to cut off those of his escaping; and thou shalt not deliver up those remaining of his in the day of straits. ¹⁵ For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou didst, it shall be done to thee: thy recompense shall turn back upon thy head. ¹⁶ For as thou didst drink upon my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, and they drank and they swallowed down, and they were as they not being.

³ For this, thus said Jehovah: Behold me purposing evil against this family, which ye shall not remove your necks from thence; and ye shall not go loftily: for it is an evil time.

¹¹ If a man going in the spirit and falsehood, lying, I will drop to thee for wine and for strong drink; and he was the dropping of this people.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah for the prophets causing my people to wander, and biting with their teeth, and they called, Peace; and who will not give upon their mouth and they consecrated war against him: ⁶ For this, night to you from a vision, and darkness to you from divining; and the sun went down upon the prophets, and the day was dark upon them. ⁷ And they seeing were ashamed, and they divining were disgraced, and they covered over their lip, all of them; for no answer of God.

¹² For this, on account of you Zion shall be ploughed a field, and Jerusalem shall be ruins, and the mountain of the house for the heights of the forest.

¹¹ And I cut off the cities of thy land, and I battled down all thy fortresses: ¹² And I cut off sorceries from thy hand, and they practicing magic shall not be to thee.

¹⁶ The laws of Omri will be observed, and all the work of the house of Ahab, and ye will go in their counsels; so that I shall give thee for a desolation, and her inhabitants for hissing, and ye shall bear the reproach of my People.

² God is jealous and Jehovah avenging; Jehovah avenging and possessing wrath; Jehovah avenging to his adversaries and he keeping for his enemies.

⁶ Before the face of his wrath who shall stand? and who will rise up in the burning of his anger? his wrath was poured out as fire, and the rocks were torn down from him.

¹⁰ Also she being carried away captive went into captivity: also her young children shall be dashed in pieces at the head of every street, and upon her honored ones they cast the lot, and all her great ones were bound in chains.

¹⁹ No healing to thy breaking; thy blow sickly: all hearing thy report shall clap the hand upon thee: for upon whom did not thine evil pass continually?

¹¹ For the stone from the wall shall cry out, and the cross-beam from the wood shall answer it.

⁸ I heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the sons of Ammon which they reproached my people, and they will magnify against their border. ⁹ For this.
