¹ By Solomon. O God, give unto the king thy decisions, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. ² He shall decide for thy people with righteousness, and for thy afflicted with justice. ³ The mountains shall bear peace for the people, and the hills the same, through righteousness.

⁷ In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace shall be till the moon shall be no more. ⁸ And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. ⁹ Before him shall bend down those that dwell in the wilderness; and his enemies shall lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tharshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yea, there shall bow down before him all kings: all nations shall serve him.

^{35 (89:36)} One thing have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David. ^{36 (89:37)} His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne shall be like the sun before me. ^{37 (89:38)} Like the moon shall it be firmly established for ever, and as this faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.

³ And he shall be animated by the fear of the Lord; and not after the sight of his eyes shall he judge, and not after the hearing of his ears shall he decide; ⁴ But he shall judge with righteousness the poor, and decide with equity for the suffering ones of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. ⁵ And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his hips.

⁵ And there shall be founded through kindness a throne; and there shall sit upon it in truthfulness in the tent of David a judge who seeketh justice, and is quick in righteousness.

¹ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice. ² And every one shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land.

³² For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which escapeth out of Mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

³ A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice. ⁴ He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

¹⁶ And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore his arm brought him aid, and his righteousness,—yea, this sustained him. ¹⁷ And he put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and placed the helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance as raiment, and wrapped himself with zeal as with a cloak.

⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed was come. ⁵ And I looked, and there was no one to help, and I was astonished, and there was no one to support; and then my own arm aided me, and my fury—this it was that upheld me. ⁶ And I stamped down nations in my anger, and I made them drunken with my fury, and brought down to the earth their victorious strength.”

⁵ Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will raise up unto David a righteous sprout, and he shall reign as king, and prosper, and he shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.

¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, will I cause to grow up unto David the sprout of righteousness: and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. ¹⁶ In those days shall Judah be helped, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is what she shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness. ¹⁷ For thus hath said the Lord, There shall never be wanting unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; ¹⁸ And unto the priests the Levites there shall not be wanting a man before me, to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meat-offerings, and to prepare sacrifices at all times. ¹⁹ And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, ²⁰ Thus hath said the Lord, If ye can break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, and so, that there be not day and night in their season: ²¹ Then also shall my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and that with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

²¹ But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone. ²² Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone. ²³ And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your eyes.

³⁵ Then were the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold ground up together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no trace was found of them; and the stone that had stricken the image became a mighty mountain, and filled the whole earth.

⁴⁴ But in the days of these kings will the God of heaven set up a kingdom: which shall to eternity not be destroyed, and its rule shall not be transferred to any other people; but it will grind up and make an end of all these kingdoms, while it will itself endure for ever.

¹⁴ And there were given him dominion, and dignity, and government, and all people, nations, and languages had to serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom is one which shall never be destroyed.

²⁷ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the power over the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all governments are to worship and obey him.

⁷ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not come to pass. ⁸ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.

⁴ For before yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria. ⁵ And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, saying, ⁶ Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu’s son: ⁷ Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river,—the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his banks; ⁸ And he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O ‘Immanu-el.

¹ The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morashthite in the days of Jotham, Achaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, which he foresaw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. ² Hear, ye people, altogether; listen, O earth, with all that filleth it: and let the Lord Eternal be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. ³ For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his residence; and he will come down, and will step along upon the high places of the earth. ⁴ And the mountains shall melt beneath him, and the valleys shall cleave in twain, like wax melteth before the fire, like water poured out on a declivity. ⁵ For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Who caused the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and who caused the high-places of Judah? is it not Jerusalem? ⁶ Therefore will I change Samaria into stone-heaps on the field, into vineyard plantations: and I will hurl down into the valley her stones, and her foundations will I lay open. ⁷ And all her graven images shall he beaten to pieces, and all her wages of sin shall be burnt with the fire, and all her idols will I make desolate; for from harlot’s wages she gathered them, and for harlot’s wages shall they be used again. ⁸ For this will I lament and wail; I will go confused and naked: I will make a lament like the crocodiles, and mourning like the ostriches. ⁹ For her wounds arc incurable; for the evil is come even unto Judah; the enemy hath reached as far as the gate of my people, even up to Jerusalem.

⁶ But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, behold, they did overtake your fathers: and then they returned and said, Just as the Lord of hosts had purposed to do unto us, in accordance with our ways, and in accordance with our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

¹ And I again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a flying roll-book. ² And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll, its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits. ³ Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of all the earth; for every one that stealeth as it is on this side shall be in an equal degree entirely destroyed, as also every one that sweareth falsely as it is on that side shall be likewise entirely destroyed. ⁴ I bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.

²⁵ And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day, when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.

¹⁹ Should God lay up for his children his wrong-doing? it were better that he reward him, that he might know it himself. ²⁰ His own eyes ought to see his downfall, and from the wrath of the Almighty ought he to drink.

¹⁸ Before downfall goeth pride, and before stumbling, haughtiness of spirit.

⁸ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people. ⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahu’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.

⁹ Is not Calno like Karkemish? is not Chamath like Arpad? is not Samaria like Damascus? ¹⁰ As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images exceeded in number those of Jerusalem and of Samaria: ¹¹ Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, do so unto Jerusalem and unto her idols?”

¹¹ Lord, thy hand was raised high, but they would not see: oh that they might see, and be ashamed, thy zeal for the people; yea, the fire which shall devour them—thy enemies.

¹² Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, that are far from righteousness:

⁴ Because I knew that thou art obstinate, that like an iron sinew is thy neck, and thy brow of copper;

²⁴ Behold the mounds reach unto the city to capture it; and the city is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

²⁸ Yet some that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, but few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand firm, mine, or theirs. ²⁹ And this shall be unto you the sign, saith the Lord, that I will inflict punishment on you in this place, in order that ye may know that my words shall surely stand firm against you for evil:

⁹ And my eye shall not show pity, and I will not spare: according to thy ways will I lay evil on thee, and thy abominations shall come in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth.

²⁷ The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with distress, and the hands of the people of the land shall be powerless: after their way will I do unto them, and according to their own manners will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

¹⁹ Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

³³ But when it cometh to pass, lo, it will come, then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

¹³ Your words have been strong against me, saith the Lord; but ye say, What have we spoken among us against thee?

^{1 (3:19)} For, behold, the day is coming, which shall burn as an oven; and all the presumptuous, yea, and all who practise wickedness shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, who will not leave them root or bough.

⁹ All these were of heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, sawed with the saw inside and outside, even from the foundation unto the coping, and from the outside unto the great court. ¹⁰ And the foundation was of heavy stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. ¹¹ And above were heavy stones, hewn after a fixed measure, and cedars. ¹² And the great court round about was of three rows of hewn stones, and one row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the Lord, and for the porch of the house.

²⁷ And the king rendered the silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.

⁴ Should Edom even say, We are impoverished; but we will return and build the ruined places: thus hath said the Lord of hosts, They may indeed build, but I will surely throw down; and men shall call them, The territory of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation to eternity.

⁹ And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and captured it, and led the people of it away captive to Kir, and Rezin did he put to death.

⁸ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.

⁴ For before yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria. ⁵ And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, saying, ⁶ Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu’s son: ⁷ Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river,—the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his banks;

¹ The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins. ² Forsaken are the cities of ‘Aro’er: they shall be given up to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. ³ And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts. ⁴ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean. ⁵ And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁷ And my anger shall be kindled against them on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be given to be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall overtake them; and they will say on that day, Is it not, because my God is not in the midst of me, that these evils have overtaken me?

⁶ At that time did Rezin the king of Syria bring Elath back to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Edomeans came to Elath and dwelt there, even until this day.

¹⁸ And the Philistines invaded the cities of the lowlands, and of the south of Judah, and captured Beth-shemesh, and Ayalon, and Gederoth, and Socho with its villages, and Thimnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they dwelt there.

⁷ For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.

³ Upon my back have ploughmen ploughed; they have drawn long their furrows: ⁴ Yet the Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. ⁵ May all be put to shame and turned backward that hate Zion; ⁶ May they become like the grass of the roofs, which withereth before it is pulled up;

²⁵ For this cause is kindled the anger of the Lord against his people, and he stretcheth forth his hand against them, and he smiteth them; and the mountains tremble, and their carcasses lie like sweepings in the midst of the streets: with all this his anger is not turned away, but still is his hand stretched out.

^{17 (9:16)} Therefore will the Lord have no joy in their young men, and on their fatherless and widows will he have no mercy; for every one is a hypocrite and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh scandalous words. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.

^{21 (9:20)} Menasseh against Ephraim: and Ephraim against Menasseh; and they together against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.

⁴ Without me they shall kneel down under the prisoners, and under the slain shall they fall. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.

⁸ For this gird yourselves with sackcloths, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.

²⁵ Pour out thy fury over the nations that know thee not, and over the families that have not called on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his dwelling desolate.

¹¹ But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of the Syrians; and so we dwell at Jerusalem.

²⁹ But thou wilt seek from there the Lord thy God, and wilt find him, if thou apply to him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

²² And in the time that he distressed him, became he yet more faithless against the Lord,—yea, he, king Achaz;

¹³ But the hypocrites in heart persevere in wrath; they will not offer entreaty when he bindeth them:

⁵ Why will ye be stricken yet more? that ye increase the revolt? every head is sick, and every heart is faint.

¹ Woe to those that go down to Egypt for help; and depend for support on horses, and trust on chariots, because they are many; and on horsemen, because they are very strong; but who turn not unto the Holy One of Israel, and seek not the Lord!

¹⁷ Because of the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and I smote him, hiding my face, and was wroth: while he went on frowardly in the way of his own heart.

³ O Lord, are not thy eyes directed to the truth? thou didst strike them, but they felt it not; thou didst make an end of them, yet they refused to accept correction: they made their faces harder than a rock, they refused to return.

¹¹ For I alone know the thoughts that I entertain respecting you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a happy future and hope.

^{18 (31:17)} I have indeed heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, “Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untamed calf; cause me to return, and I will return; for thou art the Lord my God. ^{19 (31:18)} Surely after my returning, I repent; and after I am made conscious by punishment, I smite upon my thigh: I am ashamed, yea, I am confounded, because I bear the disgrace of my youth.” ^{20 (31:19)} Is not Ephraim a dear son unto me? or a child that I dandle? for whenever I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him again: therefore are my inward parts moved for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

⁴ In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, shall the children of Israel come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping shall they go, and the Lord their God shall they seek. ⁵ After Zion shall they ask, with their faces on the way thitherward, saying, Come: and they will join themselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

¹³ In thy uncleanness is thy incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on thee.

⁴ For many days shall the children of Israel abide without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without a standing image, and without an ephod and theraphim. ⁵ After that will the children of Israel return, and seek for the Lord their God and David their king; and fearing will they hasten to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days,

¹⁵ I will go from here, and return to my place, till they acknowledge their guilt, and seek my presence: in their affliction will they seek for me.

¹⁰ And humbled was the pride of Israel before his own face; but they did not return to the Lord their God, and sought him not, notwithstanding all this.

¹⁶ They never return upward: they are like a deceitful bow: by the sword shall their princes fall because of the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

⁶ In the ninth year of Hoshea’ did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and he led Israel away as exiles into Assyria, and settled them in Chalach and in Chabor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of Media. ⁷ This took place, because the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, ⁸ And had walked in the customs of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel, and in those of the kings of Israel, which they had made. ⁹ And because the children of Israel had secretly done things that are not right against the Lord their God, and had built themselves high-places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen up to fortified cities; ¹⁰ And had set themselves up statues and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree; ¹¹ And had burnt there incense on all the high-places, like the nations that the Lord had led away exiles before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger; ¹² And had served the idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. ¹³ The Lord had indeed warned Israel and Judah, by means of all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn ye back from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I have sent to you by means of my servants the prophets. ¹⁴ But they would not hear, and hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who had not believed in the Lord their God; ¹⁵ And they despised his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had entrusted to them; and they followed after what is vanity, and became vain, and followed after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, not to do like them. ¹⁶ And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves molten images, two calves, and made a grove, and bowed down to all the host of the heavens, and served Ba’al; ¹⁷ And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. ¹⁸ Therefore became the Lord very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his presence: there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone. ¹⁹ Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs of Israel which they had made. ²⁰ Therefore did the Lord reject all the seed of Israel, and he afflicted them, and gave them up into the hand of spoilers, until that he had cast them out of his presence.

² The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, ³ The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.

¹⁷ And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day.

¹⁵ And there shall not be for Egypt successful work, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

¹³ Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.

⁴ And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Yizre’el; for but yet a little while, when I will visit the blood of Yizre’el upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

⁶ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter: and he said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruchamah [Not finding mercy]; for I will not farther have any more mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will give them their full recompense.

⁹ Then said he, Call his name Lo-’ammi [Not my people]; for ye are not my people, and I will indeed not be unto you a God.

⁵ Therefore shalt thou stumble in the daytime, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.

¹² But like the moth became I unto Ephraim, and like rottenness to the house of Judah. ¹³ Then saw Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, and Ephraim went to Asshur, and the other sent to the king that should contend [Jareb]; but he will never be able to heal you, nor remove from you your wound. ¹⁴ For I am as a lion unto Ephraim, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I myself will tear in pieces and go away; I will bear away, and none shall deliver.

⁸ Swallowed up is Israel: now are they among the nations as a vessel without any value.

¹¹ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there is no more birth, and no pregnancy, and no conception. ¹² But though they were to bring up their children, yet would I bereave them, that there should be no man: yea, woe also to themselves, when I depart from them! ¹³ Ephraim, as I have seen him like Tyre, planted in a pleasant meadow,—yet this Ephraim shall lead forth to the murderer his children. ¹⁴ Give them, O Lord, what thou wilt give! give them a miscarrying womb and dried-up breasts. ¹⁵ All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I learnt to hate them; for the wickedness of their doings will I drive them out of my house: I will love them no farther; all their princes are rebels. ¹⁶ Smitten is Ephraim, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet would I slay the beloved fruit of their body. ¹⁷ My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

¹⁵ The like of this doth Beth-el procure unto you because of your great wickedness: in the early morning shall utterly pass away the king of Israel.

³ Therefore shall they be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven by the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as smoke out of a window.

¹⁴ And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life. ¹⁵ And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life. ¹⁶ And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.

¹² Thus hath said the Lord, As the shepherd snatcheth out of the mouth of the lion at most two leg-bones, or a tip of the ear: so shall be delivered the children of Israel that sit in Samaria on the corner of a bed, and on Damascus couches.

² She is fallen, she will not rise again—the virgin of Israel: she is thrown down upon her land; there is none to raise her up. ³ For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The city that goeth forth with a thousand shall retain but a hundred, and she that goeth forth with a hundred shall retain but ten, left to the house of Israel.

¹¹ For, behold, the Lord commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

⁸ And the Lord said unto me, What dost thou see, ‘Amos? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel; I will not farther indulge them any more. ⁹ And the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid in ruins: and I will rise up against the house of Jerobo’am with the sword.

¹⁷ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Thy wife will play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided out by the line; and thou shalt die in an unclean land; and Israel shall surely be led forth into exile out of their land.

¹ I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the capital, that the sills may quake; and break them in pieces over the head of all of them; and their posterity will I slay with the sword: there shall not flee away from them one that fleeth, and there shall not escape from them one that is saved. ² Though they were to creep down into the nether world, thence would my hand fetch them; and though they were to climb up to the heavens, thence would I bring them down; ³ And though they were to hide themselves on the top of Carmel, thence would I search and take them out; and though they were to conceal themselves from before my eyes in the bottom of the sea, thence would I command the serpent, that he should bite them; ⁴ And though they were to go into captivity before their enemies, thence would I command the sword, that it should slay them: and I will set my eye upon them for evil, and not for good. ⁵ And the Lord Eternal of hosts it is that toucheth the earth, and she melteth away, and all that dwell thereon shall mourn; and she riseth up like a stream wholly; and she sinketh like the stream of Egypt; ⁶ That buildeth in the heavens his steps, and hath founded his vault over the earth; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name. ⁷ Are ye not like the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord: have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? ⁸ Behold, the eyes of the Lord Eternal are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save only that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. ⁹ For, lo, I will give the command, and I will shake about among all the nations the house of Israel, as one shaketh things in a sieve, while not the least piece falleth down upon the earth.

⁶ Therefore will I change Samaria into stone-heaps on the field, into vineyard plantations: and I will hurl down into the valley her stones, and her foundations will I lay open. ⁷ And all her graven images shall he beaten to pieces, and all her wages of sin shall be burnt with the fire, and all her idols will I make desolate; for from harlot’s wages she gathered them, and for harlot’s wages shall they be used again. ⁸ For this will I lament and wail; I will go confused and naked: I will make a lament like the crocodiles, and mourning like the ostriches.

⁶ And the other said unto him, Behold now, a man of God is in this city, and the man is honored; all that he ever saith will surely come to pass: now let us go thither; perhaps he can tell us our way that we should go.

¹⁸ And he said unto him, I also am a prophet like thee; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee unto thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

²² And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so. ²³ And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. ²⁴ And Zedekiah, the son of Kena’anah, went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which way passed the Spirit of the Lord away from me to speak with thee!

⁵ And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.

¹³ Therefore are my people led into exile, for want of knowledge: and their honorable men suffer of famine, and their multitude are panting with thirst.

¹⁷ And I will make of justice a measuring line, and of righteousness a plummet: and the hail shall sweep off the refuge of lies, and the hiding-place against the waters shall these flood away.

¹⁰ For the Lord hath poured out over you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: over the prophets, and your chiefs, the seers, hath he cast a vail.

³¹ The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so; but what will ye do in the end thereof?

¹⁴ Then said the Lord unto me, Falsehood do the prophets prophesy in my name; I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, neither have I spoken unto them: a vision of falsehood, and divination, and idolatrous folly, and the deceit of their heart do they prophesy unto you. ¹⁵ Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, when I have not sent them, while they say, Sword and famine shall not come in this land: By the sword and by the famine shall these prophets come to their end.

⁹ To the prophets—Broken is my heart within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a person whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of his holy words.

¹⁴ But on the prophets of Jerusalem have I seen a horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in falsehood; and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, so that not one of these doth return from his wickedness: they are become unto me all of them as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah. ¹⁵ Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets, Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poison-water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is hypocrisy gone forth over all the land.

²⁵ I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy falsely in my name, saying, I have dreamt, I have dreamt. ²⁶ How long shall it be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy falsehood? yea, the prophets of the deceit of their own heart,— ²⁷ How long do they think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they relate every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for the sake of Ba’al?

⁹ But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; ¹⁰ For falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish.

¹⁴ And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you. ¹⁵ For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

¹⁵ Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood. ¹⁶ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.

²¹ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Achab the son of Kolayah, and of Zedekiah the son of Ma’asseyah, who prophesy unto you in my name falsehood, Behold, I will give them up into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon: and he shall smite them before your eyes. ²² And a curse shall be derived from them for all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, “May the Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;”

¹ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ² Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto those that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of the Lord: ³ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe unto the scandalous prophets, that follow their own spirit, without having seen any thing! ⁴ Like foxes among the ruins have been thy prophets, O Israel! ⁵ Ye did not go up into the breaches, nor did ye make a fence around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord. ⁶ They saw falsehood and lying divination, they who say, “The Lord saith,” when the Lord had not sent them; and yet they made others hope for the fulfillment of the word. ⁷ Had ye not seen a false vision, and had ye not said a lying divination? and ye say, “The Lord saith,” when I have not spoken. ⁸ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas ye have spoken falsehood, and have seen lies: therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Eternal. ⁹ And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false-hood, and that divine lies; in the secret council of my people shall they not be, and in the register of the house of Israel shall they not be written, and into the land of Israel shall they not come: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal. ¹⁰ Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace,” when there was no peace: and my people build a protecting wall, and lo, they plaster it with unadhesive mortar. ¹¹ Say unto those who plaster it with unadhesive mortar, that it shall fall: there cometh an overflowing rain-shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a storm-wind shall rend it. ¹² And, lo, the wall is fallen down; will it not now be said unto you, Where is the plastering wherewith ye have plastered? ¹³ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will even rend it with storm-winds in my fury; and an overflowing rain-shower shall come in my anger, with great hailstones in my fury to destroy it. ¹⁴ And I will pull down the wall that ye have plastered with unadhesive mortar, and I will cast it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be laid open; and it shall fall, and ye shall be destroyed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. ¹⁵ Thus will I let out all my wrath upon the wall, and upon those that have plastered it with unadhesive mortar; and I will say unto you, Gone is the wall, and gone are they that plastered it; ¹⁶ Namely, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see for her a vision of peace, when there is no peace, saith the Lord Eternal.

¹⁹ And ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for bits of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to keep alive the souls that should not live, by your lying to my people that listen to lies!

²² Because ye grieve the heart of the righteous with falsehood, when I have not given him pain; and strengthen the hands of the wicked, so that he should not return from his wicked way, through which he might live.

⁸ The watchman of Ephraim with my God, the prophet, was a snare of the fowler on all his ways, a hateful thing in the house of his god.

⁹ Therefore have I also made you contemptible and low before all the people, in the same measure as ye do not keep my ways, but act with partiality in the law.

²³ Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, Thus shall ye bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, ²⁴ The Lord bless thee, and preserve thee; ²⁵ The Lord make his face shine unto thee, and be gracious to thee; ²⁶ The Lord lift up his countenance unto thee, and give thee peace.

⁵⁵ And he stood up, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, ⁵⁶ Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest unto his people Israel, in accordance with all that he hath spoken: so that there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he spoke by the hand of Moses his servant.

²⁷ Then arose the priests the Levites and blessed the people: and their voice was listened to, and their prayer came to His holy dwelling-place, even unto heaven.

¹² My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.

³⁴ For the assembly of hypocrites will remain desolate, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

¹⁰ Not in the strength of the horse hath he delight: nor in the swiftness of the legs of man taketh he pleasure.

⁴ Woe! sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken the Lord, they have incensed the Holy One of Israel, they are departed backward.

^{12 (9:11)} The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with a full mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.

² To turn aside from judgment the needy, and to rob the just due of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may plunder the fatherless!

⁶ Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.

¹⁸ And their bows will dash young men to pieces; and on the fruit of the womb will they have no mercy; on children their eye will not look with pity.

¹¹ When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; women will come and set them on fire; for it is not a people of understanding; therefore he that made it will not have mercy on it, and he that formed it will show it no favor.

⁶ For the worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away. ⁷ The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right.

⁵ For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom is glad over the bride, so will be glad over thee thy God.

¹⁹ And I will rejoice over Jerusalem, and be glad in my people: and there shall not be heard in her any more the voice of weeping, nor the voice of complaint.

¹ Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and notice, and search in its broad places, if ye can find one man, if there be one that executeth justice, that searcheth for truth: and I will pardon it.

²¹ Therefore give up their children to the famine, and let their life ebb out by means of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and widows; and let their men be slain by death; their young men smitten by the sword in the battle.

³³ As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, surely, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

² The pious hath disappeared out of the land; and the upright among men there is none; all of them lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

¹⁷ For how great will be that generation’s happiness, and how great its beauty! corn shall make the young men sing joyfully, and new wine the virgins.

¹ And it came to pass that as the people complained in a manner displeasing in the ears of the Lord, the Lord heard it, and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed at the uttermost part of the camp. ² And the people then cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the Lord, and the fire disappeared. ³ And he called the name of the place Tab’erah; because the fire of the Lord had burnt among them.

²² For a fire is kindled in my anger, and it burneth unto the lowest deep; and it consumeth the earth with her products, and it setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

¹¹ For this would be incest; yea, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; ¹² For it would be a fire that consumeth down to the place of corruption, and would root out all my products.

²⁰ But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the beauty of the meadow: they pass away; in smoke they pass away.

^{14 (83:15)} As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:

³¹ And the mighty oppressor shall become as tow, and his workman as a spark; and they shall both burn together, with none to quench.

²⁴ Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and dry hay sinketh before the flame: so shall their root be as rotten things, and their blossom shall fly up as the dust; because they have despised the law of the Lord of hosts, and the word of the Holy One of Israel they have rejected.

¹⁶ Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire. ¹⁷ And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day. ¹⁸ And the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body, will he destroy: and he shall be as a tree eaten to powder by the worms.

⁴ Wrath have I not: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would pass through them, and I would burn them altogether.

³⁰ And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of his anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.

¹² And the people shall be burnt as lime: as cut-off thorns shall they blaze up in fire.

⁸ For it is the day of vengeance unto the Lord, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion. ⁹ And its brooks shall be changed into pitch, and its dust into sulfur, and its land shall become burning pitch. ¹⁰ Night and day shall it not be quenched; for ever shall ascend the smoke thereof: from generation to generation shall it lie waste; no one shall for ever and ever pass through it.

¹⁶ For by fire will the Lord judge, and by his sword against all flesh: and many shall be the slain of the Lord. ¹⁷ They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves for the gardens, behind one tree in the midst, they who eat the flesh of the swine, and the abomination, and the mouse, together shall they perish, saith the Lord.

^{47 (21:3)} And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the Lord, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the glowing flame shall not be quenched, and there shall be burnt therein all faces from the south to the north. ^{48 (21:4)} And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

²⁰ And the host of the north will I remove far away from you, and I will drive it off into a land barren and desolate, with its advance toward the eastern sea, and its rereward toward the western sea; and its stench shall ascend, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things.”

⁴ Thus did the Lord Eternal show unto me: and, behold, the Lord Eternal called forth the punishment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and consumed the ploughed field.

⁶ Before his indignation who can stand? and who can subsist before the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down by him.

¹⁰ For they, like thorns interwoven, and as men made drunken in their drinking bout, shall be entirely consumed as dry stubble.

³⁰ And it will rage against them on that day like with the raging of the sea: and if one look unto the earth, behold, there is darkness, oppression, and the light is darkened through the darkness of its clouds.

⁹ Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, direful, laden with wrath and the fierceness of anger, to render the earth desolate: and its sinners will he destroy out of it.

¹³ Therefore will I shake the heavens, and the earth shall start quaking out of her place, at the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and on the day of his fierce anger.

⁶ Therefore hath the curse devoured the land, and they that dwell therein suffer for their guilt; therefore are the inhabitants of the land dried up, and but few men are left.

¹¹ A painful cry for wine is in the streets; darkened is all joy; banished is the mirth of the land. ¹² Destruction is left in the city, in ruins is beaten the gate.

² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and a gross darkness the people; but over thee will shine forth the Lord, and his glory will be seen over thee.

¹⁶ Give unto the Lord your God glory, before he cause darkness, and before your feet strike upon the mountains of twilight, and where, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and change it into gross darkness.

⁵ And to the others he said before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;

² It is a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and of tempestuous obscurity, like the morning-dawn spread out upon the mountains: a people numerous and strong, the like of which hath never been and after it there will be none any more, even to the years of all coming generations.

¹⁸ Woe unto you that long for the day of the Lord! for what do you wish the day of the Lord? it is one of darkness, and not of light.

⁶ For the son disgraceth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

²⁶ When I break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me: ²⁸ Then will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins. ²⁹ And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

²¹ And the people shall pass through the land, hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high for aid.

⁹ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his associate, in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and those that seek their life, shall distress them.

¹⁰ The hands of merciful women cooked their own children: they became food unto them in the downfall of the daughter of my people.

² And the Lord said unto Gid’on, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand: lest Israel should vaunt themselves against me, saying, my own hand hath saved me.

²⁰ And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and, behold, the sword of every man was against his fellow, the disorder being very great.

³⁰ And Hoshea’ the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekach the son of Remalyahu, and smote him, and put him to death, and became king in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of ‘Uzziyah.

⁶ And Pekach the son of Remalyahu slew in Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all being valiant men; because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. ⁷ And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Ma’asseyahu the king’s son, and ‘Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah the second in rank to the king. ⁸ And the children of Israel led away captive from their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and also much booty did they plunder from them, and they brought the booty to Samaria.

¹³ And then shall depart the envy of Ephraim, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not assail Ephraim.
