¹ Woe be unto them that go down into Egypt for help, and trust in horses, and comfort themselves in chariots, because they be many, and in horsemen because they be lusty and strong. But they regard not the holy one of Israel, and they ask no question at the LORD.

²⁷ And like as a net is full of birds, so are their houses full of that which they have gotten with falsity and deceit. Hereof cometh their great substance and riches, ²⁸ hereof are they fat and wealthy, and are run away from me with shameful blasphemies. They minister not the law, they make no end of the fatherless cause, they judge not the poor according to equity.

³ Assyria shall not save us, neither will we ride on horses: neither will we say to the works of our own hands, 'Ye are our Gods,' for thou hast compassion on the friendless.

¹⁰ The time shall come also, sayeth the LORD, that I will take thine horses from thee, and destroy thy chariots.

¹ Go to now, ye rich men. Weep, and howl on your wretchedness that shall come upon you. ² Your riches is corrupt, your garments are motheaten. ³ Your gold and your silver are cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness unto you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together in your last days.

³ for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures."

¹¹ And the merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware any more, ¹² the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl, and raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron, ¹³ and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies; and souls of men. ¹⁴ And the apples that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price, are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. ¹⁵ The merchants of these things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of the punishment of her, weeping and wailing, ¹⁶ and saying, 'Alas alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls: ¹⁷ for at one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship governor, and all they that occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off;

²⁸ and there ye shall serve gods which are the works of man's hand: wood and stone which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

² And he did that pleased the LORD in all points as did his father Uzziah: save, that he came not to the temple of the LORD, and that the people did yet corrupt themselves.

² but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made thereto Baals of metal. ³ And he offered cense in the valley of the children of Hinnom, and burnt his children in fire after the abomination of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. ⁴ And he offered burnt cense in hill altars and on mountains and under every green tree.

²³ For he offered unto the gods of them of Damascus which beat him, and said, "Because the gods of the Syrians help them, therefore will I offer to them, that they may help me also." But they were his destruction and the destruction of all Israel. ²⁴ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God and brake them, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and made him altars in all corners of Jerusalem. ²⁵ And in all the cities of Judah, city by city, he made hill altars to burn incense unto other gods, and angered the LORD God of his fathers.

³ For he went to and built again the hill altars which Hezekiah his father had broken down. And he reared up altars unto Baals and made groves and bowed himself unto all the host of heaven and served them. ⁴ And he built altars in the house of the LORD: of which the LORD hath said, "In Jerusalem shall my name be forever." ⁵ And he made altars unto all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. ⁶ And he burnt his children in fire in the valley of the sons of Hinnom. And he observed dismal days and occupied witchcraft and sorcery, and maintained workers with spirits and seers of fortunes: and wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to anger him withal. ⁷ And he put the carved Image of an Idol which he had made, in the house of God — Of which house, God said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house here in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes, I will put my name forever,

⁴ Their images are but silver and gold, even the work of men's hands. ⁵ They have mouths, and speak not; eyes have they, but they see not. ⁶ They have ears, and hear not; noses have they, but they smell not. ⁷ They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throat. ⁸ They that make them, are like unto them; and so are all such as put their trust in them.

¹⁰ As who say, "I were able to win the kingdom of the Idolaters and their gods, but not Jerusalem and Samaria. ¹¹ Shall I not do unto Jerusalem and their Images, as I did unto Samaria and their Images?"

⁸ And shall not turn to the altars that are the work of his own hands, neither shall he look upon groves and images, which his fingers have wrought.

¹⁹ and cast their gods in the fire. Notwithstanding, those were no gods; but the works of men's hands, of wood or stone, therefore have they destroyed them.

¹⁵ which wood serveth for men to burn. Of this he taketh and warmeth himself withal: he maketh a fire of it to bake bread. And afterward maketh a god thereof, to honour it: and an Idol to kneel before it. ¹⁶ One piece he burneth in the fire; with another he roasteth flesh, that he may eat roast his belly full; with the third he warmeth himself, and sayeth, "Aha, I am well warmed, I have been at the fire." ¹⁷ And of the residue he maketh him a god, and an Idol for himself. He kneeleth before it, he worshippeth it, he prayeth unto it, and sayeth, "Deliver me, for thou art my god!" ¹⁸ Yet men neither consider nor understand; because their eyes are stopped that they cannot see, and their hearts, that they can not perceive. ¹⁹ They ponder not in their minds, for they have neither knowledge nor understanding, to think thus, "I have burnt one piece in the fire; I have baked bread with the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh withal, and eaten it: shall I now of the residue make an abomination, and fall down before a rotten piece of wood?" ²⁰ The keeping of dust, and foolishness of heart hath turned them aside: so that none of them can have a free conscience to think, "Do not I err?"

⁵ Ye take your pleasure under the oaks, and under all green trees. And ye offer children in the valleys, and dens of stone.

²⁸ I shall answer them: Where are now thy gods, that thou hast made thee? Bid them stand up, and help thee in the time of need! For look how many cities thou hast, O Judah: so many gods hast thou also.

¹³ For as many cities as thou hast, O Judah, so many gods hast thou also: And look how many streets there be in thee, O Jerusalem: so many shameful altars have ye set up, to offer upon them unto Baal.

²³ After all these thy wickednesses, woe, woe unto thee, sayeth the LORD. ²⁴ Thou hast builded thy stews and brothel houses in every place: yea, at the head of every street hast thou builded thee an altar. ²⁵ Thou hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, thou hast laid out thy legs to every one that came by, and multiplied thine whoredom.

⁶ For the calf came from Israel; the workman made it: therefore can it be no God, but even to a spider's web shall the calf of Samaria be turned.

¹¹ But at Gilead is the abomination, they are fallen to vanity. At Gilgal they have slain oxen: and as many heaps of stones as they had in their land furrows, so many altars have they made.

² And now they sin more and more. Of their silver, they make them molten Images, like the idols of the Heathen, and yet all is nothing but the work of the craftsmen. Notwithstanding they preach of the same: whoso will kiss the calves, offereth to men.

¹⁶ While Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was moved in him to see the city given to worshipping of images.

²⁰ And the remnant of the men which were not killed by these plagues repented not of the deeds of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and images, of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, neither hear, neither go.

¹⁹ But Joshua said unto the people, "Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God and cannot bear your transgression and sin.

⁵ Cover not their wickedness, and let not their sin be put out from thy presence: for they have provoked the builders.

² high and low, rich and poor, one with another.

⁹ As for men they are but vanity; the children of men are deceitful. Upon the weights they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.

¹⁵ Thus shall man have a fall; he shall be brought low, and the high looks of the proud shall be laid down.

¹¹ Their harvest shall be burnt; their wives, which were their beauty when they came forth, shall be defiled. For it is a people without understanding, and therefore he that created them, shall not favour them; and he that made them, shall not be merciful to them.

⁹ Thou wentest straight to kings with oil and divers ointments - that is, thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and yet art thou fallen into the pit thereby.

⁴ Therefore thought I in myself, "Peradventure they are so simple and foolish, that they understand nothing of the LORD's way, and judgments of our God. ⁵ Therefore will I go unto their heads and rulers, and talk with them: if they know the way of the LORD, and the judgments of our God." But these, in like manner, have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds in sunder.

²³ Yet LORD, thou knowest all their counsel that they have devised, to slay me. And therefore forgive them not their wickedness, and let not their sin be put out of thy sight: but let them be judged before thee as the guilty: This shalt thou do unto them in the time of thy indignation.

²⁹ but he that blasphemeth the holy ghost shall never have forgiveness: but is in danger of eternal damnation."

²³ There is no difference: For all have sinned, and lack the praise that is of valour before God:

¹⁸ Let no man make you shoot at a wrong mark, which after his own imagination walketh in the humbleness and holiness of angels, things which he never saw: causeless, puffed up with his fleshly mind,

²³ which things have the similitude of wisdom in chosen holiness, and humbleness, and in that they spare not the body — and do the flesh no worship unto his need.

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in dens, and in rocks of the hills, ¹⁶ and said to the hills, and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the presence of him that sitteth on the seat, and from the wrath of the lamb, ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come; And who can endure it?"

¹ And the children of Israel committed wickedness in the sight of the LORD. And the LORD delivered them into the hands of the Midianites seven years. ² And when the hand of the Midianites was sore upon Israel, the children of Israel made them dens in the mountains and caves and strongholds.

⁵ And when they were driven forth, men cried after them, as it had been after a thief. ⁶ Their dwelling was beside foul brooks, yea in the caves and dens of the earth.

²³ For I have ever feared the vengeance and punishment of God, and knew very well that I was not able to bear his burden.

²² Gold is brought out of the North, but the praise and honour of God's fear cometh from God himself. ²³ It is not we that can find out the Almighty: for in power, equity, and righteousness, he is higher than can be expressed. ²⁴ Seeing then that everybody feareth him, why should not all wise men also stand in fear of him?"

¹¹ But who regardeth the power of thy wrath? For even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure.

¹⁹ Men shall creep into holes of stone, and into caves of the earth, for the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty: what time as he shall arise to shake the earth. ²⁰ Then, then shall man cast away his gods of silver and gold - which he nevertheless had made to honour them - unto moles and bats ²¹ that he may the better creep into the caves and rocks, and into the cliffs of hard stones, from the sight of the fearful judge and from the glory of his Majesty.

³ They cried also each one to other on this manner: "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts! The whole world is full of his glory!" ⁴ Yea, the joists and doorchecks moved at their crying, and the house was full of smoke. ⁵ Then I said, "O woe is me! For I am lost: inasmuch as I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among people that hath unclean lips also. For mine eyes have seen the King and LORD of Hosts."

³ What will ye do in time of the visitation and destruction, that shall come from far? To whom will ye run for help? Or to whom will ye give your honour, that he may keep it?

²² But it is a mischevious and wicked people. Their young men belong all to the snare, and shall be shut into prison houses. They shall be carried away captive, and no man shall loose them. They shall be trodden under foot, and no man shall labour to bring them again.

⁷ Who would not fear thee? Or what King of the Gentiles would not obey thee? For among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in all their kingdoms, there is none that may be likened unto thee.

¹⁰ But the LORD is a true God, a living God, and an everlasting king. If he be wroth, the earth shaketh: all the Gentiles may not abide his indignation.

⁸ The high places of Aven, where Israel do sin, shall be cast down: thistles and thorns shall grow upon their altars. Then shall they say to the mountains, "Cover us," and to the hills, "Fall upon us."

⁵ But I will show you, whom ye shall fear. Fear him which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea I say unto you, him fear.

³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us'; and to the hills, 'Cover us.'

⁹ which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in dens, and in rocks of the hills, ¹⁶ and said to the hills, and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the presence of him that sitteth on the seat, and from the wrath of the lamb,

³ and they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the lamb, saying, ⁴ Who shall not fear, o Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy, and all gentiles shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest."

¹⁰ Then arm thyself with thine own power! Up, deck thee in thy jolly array, ¹¹ pour out thy indignation of thy wrath; see that thou cast down all the proud, ¹² look well, that thou makest all such as be stubburn, to obey; tread all the ungodly under thy feet,

²⁷ For thou shalt save the people that are in adversity, and shalt bring down the high looks of the proud. {TYNDALE: And the people that are in adversity, thou shalt help. And on the proud shalt thou cast thine eyes.}

¹⁷ And it shall bring down the pride of man, and lay man's presumptuousness full low, and the LORD shall only have the victory in that day.

¹ Then shall seven wives take hold of one man, and say, "We will lay all our meat and clothing together in common, only that we may be called thy wives, and that this shameful reproof may be taken from us."

¹⁵ Thus shall man have a fall; he shall be brought low, and the high looks of the proud shall be laid down. ¹⁶ But the LORD of Hosts, that holy God: shall be exalted and untouched, when he shall declare his equity and righteousness after this manner.

¹⁰ Then shall the Gentiles enquire after the root of Jesse, which shall be set up for a token unto the Gentiles; for his dwelling shall be glorious. ¹¹ At the same time shall the LORD take in hand again, to conquer the remnant of his people which are left alive: From the Assyrians, Egyptians, Arabians, Ethiopians, Elamites, Chaldeans, Antiochians and Islands of the sea.

¹ So that then thou shalt say, "I will praise thee O LORD, that though thou were angry with me, yet thine anger is turned, and thou hast comforted me.

⁴ And ye shall say in that day, 'Give thanks unto the LORD: call on his name: make his deeds known among the heathen: remember that his name is high.'

¹¹ And I will punish the wickedness of the world, and the sins of the ungodly, sayeth the LORD. The high stomachs of the proud will I take away, and will lay down the boasting of tyrants.

²¹ At in that day shall the LORD muster together the high host above, and the kings of the world upon the earth.

⁹ In that day shall it be said, "Lo, this is our God: we have waited for him, and he shall save us. This is the LORD in whom we have hoped: Let us rejoice, and delight in his salvation.

¹ In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah. We have a strong city; Salvation shall God appoint instead of walls and bulwarks.

¹ In that day, the LORD with his heavy, great, and long sword shall visit Leviathan that fugitive serpent: even Leviathan that crooked serpent, and shall slay the dragon in the sea. ² At the same time shall men sing of the vineyard of Muscatel.

¹² In that time shall the LORD shoot from the swift water of Euphrates, unto the river of Egypt. And there shall the children be chosen out one by one. ¹³ Then shall the great trumpet be blown, so that those which have been destroyed in the Assyrian's land, and those that be scattered abroad in Egypt, shall come and worship the LORD at Jerusalem, upon the holy mount.

⁵ In that day shall the LORD of Hosts be a joyful crown, and a glorious garland unto the remnant of his people.

¹⁸ And in that day, shall deaf men hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see, even out of the cloud and out of darkness.

²³ Then will he give rain to the seed that ye shall sow in the earth, and give you bread of the increase of the earth, so that all shall be plenteous and abundant. Thy cattle also shall he feed in the broad meadows;

²³ But thou Sennacherib, whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice, and exalted thy proud looks? Even against the holy one of Israel.

⁶ But that my people may know my name, I myself will speak in that day. Behold, here am I.

²⁴ But who so will rejoice, let him rejoice in this: that he understandeth, and knoweth me. For I am the LORD, which do mercy, equity and righteousness upon the earth. Therefore have I pleasure in such things, sayeth the LORD."

⁷ Alas for this day, which is so dreadful, that none may be likened unto it: and alas for the time of Jacob's trouble, from the which he shall yet be delivered. ⁸ For in that day, sayeth the LORD, I will take his yoke from off thy neck, and break thy bonds. They shall no more serve strange gods under him,

³¹ Behold, I speak unto thee, O thou proud, sayeth the LORD God of Hosts: for thy day shall come, even the time of thy visitation. ³² And the proud shall stumble and fall, and no man shall help him up. I will burn up his cities with fire, and it shall consume all that is round about him.

¹⁴ "Therefore, O thou son of man, thou shalt prophesy, and say unto Gog, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: In that day thou shalt know, that my people of Israel dwelleth safe:

¹⁹ For in my jealousy and hot displeasure I have devised that there shall be a great trouble in the land of Israel at that time.

¹¹ At the same time will I give unto Gog a place to be buried in, in Israel: even the valley, wherethrough men go from the east to the seaward: Those that travel thereby, shall abhor it. There shall Gog and all his people be buried: and it shall be called the valley of the people of Gog.

²² that the house of Israel may know how that I am the LORD their God, from that day forth.

¹⁶ Then, sayeth the LORD, she shall say unto me, 'O my husband,' and shall call me no more Baal.

²¹ At the same time will I show myself friendly and gracious unto the heavens, sayeth the LORD: and the heavens shall help the earth,

¹⁸ And at that day the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall run with water. And a fountain shall go out of the house of the LORD and water the river of Shittim.

¹¹ "At that time will I build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and hedge up his gaps. And look: what is broken, I shall repair it. Yea, I shall build it again, as it was a fore time,

⁸ Shall not I at the same time destroy the wise men of Edom; and those that have understanding, from the mount of Esau?

⁶ At the same time, sayeth the LORD, will I gather up the lame and the outcasts, and such as I have chastened;

¹¹ The time will come, that thy gaps shall be made up, and the law shall go abroad: ¹² and at that time shall they come unto thee, from Assyria unto the strong cities, and from the strong cities unto the river: from the one sea to the other, from the one mountain to the other.

¹¹ In that time shalt thou no more be confounded, because of all thy imaginations, wherethrough thou hadst offended me: for I will take away the proud boasters of thine honour from thee, so that thou shalt no more triumph because of my holy hill.

¹⁶ In that time it shall be said unto Jerusalem, "Fear not," and to Zion, "Let not thine hands be slack,

¹⁶ The LORD their God shall deliver them in the day, as the flock of his people: for the stones of his Sanctuary shall be set up in his land.

¹ For mark, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yea and all such as do wickedness, shall be straw: and the day that is for to come, shall burn them up, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

¹⁴ I tell you, This man departed home to his house justified more than the other. For every man that exalteth himself, shall be brought low: And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted."

²⁹ that no flesh should rejoice in his presence. ³⁰ And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption. ³¹ That according, as it is written, "He which rejoiceth, should rejoice in the Lord."

⁵ wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity all understanding to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁷ Let him that rejoiceth, rejoice in the Lord.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder. Submit yourselves every man, one to another. Knit yourselves together in lowliness of mind. For God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.

¹⁶ These six things doth the LORD hate, and the seventh he utterly abhorreth: ¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

⁵ The LORD abhorreth all presumptuous and proud hearts; there may neither strength nor power escape.

⁶ Mourn therefore, for the day of the LORD is at hand, and cometh as a destroyer from the Almighty.

⁹ For lo, the day of the LORD shall come: terrible, full of indignation and wrath, to make the land waste, and to root out the sinners thereof.

⁹ Even the LORD of Hosts hath devised it, that he may put down all pomp, and minish all the Glory of the world.

⁴ The earth shall be heavy and decay: The face of the earth shall perish and fall away, the proud people of the world shall come to naught.

¹⁰ So shall this day be unto the LORD God of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his enemies. The sword shall devour, it shall be satisfied and bathed in their blood: For the LORD God of Hosts shall have a slain offering toward the North, by the water of Euphrates.

⁵ For they stand not in the gaps, neither made they a hedge for the house of Israel, that men might abide the peril in the day of the LORD.

³⁷ Then did I, Nebuchadnezzar, love, magnify and praise the King of heaven: for all his works are true, and his ways right. As for those that go on proudly, he is able to bring them down.

²⁰ But because his heart was so proud, and his stomach set so fast unto wilfulness: he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his majesty was taken from him. ²¹ He was shot out from among men, his heart was like a beast's heart, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: he was fain to eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew, that the highest had power upon the kingdoms of men, and setteth over them, whom he list. ²² And thou, his son, O Belshazzar, for all this, hast not submitted thine heart, though thou knewest all these things: ²³ but hast magnified thyself above the LORD of heaven, so that the vessels of his house were brought before thee: that thou, and thy lords, with thy queen and concubines, might drink wine thereout: and hast praised the Idols of silver and gold, copper and iron, of wood and stone. As for the God in whose hand consisteth thy breath and all thy ways: thou hast not loved him. ²⁴ Therefore is the palm of this hand sent hither from him, to token up this writing.

¹⁸ 'Woe be unto them that desire the day of the LORD: Wherefore would ye have it? As for that day of the LORD, it shall be dark and not clear.

⁵ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet: before the coming of the day of the great and fearful LORD.

¹² But whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low. And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

¹¹ For whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low. And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted."

⁵ to deliver him unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

² for ye your selves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall come even as a thief in the night.

⁶ but giveth more grace?

³³ But see, the Lord God of Hosts shall take away the proud from thence, with fear. He shall hew down the proud, and fell the high minded. ³⁴ The thorns of the wood shall be rooted out with iron, and Lebanon shall have a mighty fall.

⁸ Yea even the fir trees and Cedars of Lebanon rejoice at thy fall, saying, 'Now that thou art laid down, there come no more up to destroy us.'

²⁴ Thou with thy servants hast blasphemed the LORD and thus holdest thou of thyself, I cover the high mountains, and sides of Lebanon with my horsemen. And there will I cut down the high Cedar trees and the fairest Fir trees. I will up into the height of it, and into the chiefest of his timber woods.

³ Behold, Assyria was like a Cedar tree upon the mount of Lebanon, with fair branches: so thick, that he gave shadows, and shot out very high. His top reached into the clouds. ⁴ The waters made him great, and the deep set him up on high. Round about the roots of him ran there floods of water; he sent out his little rivers unto all the trees of the field. ⁵ Therefore was he higher than all the trees of the field, and through the multitude of waters that he sent from him, he obtained many and long branches. ⁶ All fowls of the air made their nests in his branches, under his boughs gendered all these beasts of the field, and under his shadow dwelt all people. ⁷ Fair and beautiful was he in his greatness and in the length of his branches, for his root stood beside great waters; ⁸ no Cedar tree might hide him. In the pleasant garden of God, there was no fir tree like his branches, the plain trees were not like the boughs of him. All the trees in the garden of God might not be compared unto him in his beauty: ⁹ So fair and goodly had I made him with the multitude of his branches: Insomuch that all the trees in the pleasant garden of God, had envy at him. ¹⁰ "'Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as he hath lift up himself so high, and stretched his top into the clouds, and seeing his heart is proud in his highness: ¹¹ I will deliver him into the hands of the mightiest among the Heathen, which shall root him out. According to his wickedness will I cast him away. ¹² The enemies shall destroy him, and the mighty men of the Heathen shall so scatter him, that his branches shall lie upon all mountains and in all valleys: his boughs shall be broken down to the ground throughout the land. Then all the people of the land shall go from his shadow, and forsake him.

⁵ Therefore will I send a fire into Judah, which shall consume the palaces of Jerusalem.'

¹ Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume thy cedar trees. ² Howl ye Fir trees, for the cedar is fallen, yea all the proud are wasted away. Howl, O ye oak trees of Bashan, for the mighty strong wood is cut down.

¹⁶ Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

⁵ The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.

²⁵ Goodly rivers shall flow out of all his mountains and hills. In the day of the great slaughter when the towers shall fall,

⁴ Let all valleys be exalted, and every mountain and hill be laid low. Whatso is crooked, let it be made straight, and let the rough places be made plain fields.

¹² The stronghold also, and defense of thy walls hath he overthrown and cast down: and brought them to the ground, even into the dust.

⁵² see that ye drive out all the inhabiters of the land before you, and destroy their imaginations and all their images of metal, and pluck down all their altars built on hills:

²² For the sea ships which the king had in the sea, with the ships of Hiram, came every third year laden with gold, silver, ivory, apes and peacocks.

⁴⁸ And Jehoshaphat made ships in the sea to go to Ophir for gold, but they went not: for the ships brake at Eziongeber. ⁴⁹ Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with thine in the ships." But Jehoshaphat would not.

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises unto him with understanding.

¹ The burden of Tyre. Mourn, ye ships of Tarshish, for there cometh such destruction that ye shall not have a house to enter into. Out of the land of Chittim they have knowledge of this plague.

⁹ The isles also shall gather them unto me, and especially the ships of the sea: that they may bring the sons from far, and their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, unto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorified thee.

¹¹ And the merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware any more,

¹⁷ for at one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship governor, and all they that occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off; ¹⁸ and cried, when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city is like unto this great city?' ¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping, and wailing, and said, 'Alas, Alas, that great city wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made desolate.'

¹¹ which casteth down the high looks of presumptuous persons, and bringeth low the pride of man, and the LORD only shall be exalted in that day.

²⁹ As for Moab's pride, we have heard of it, she is very high-minded. I know her stoutness, her boasting, her arrogance, and the pride of her stomach, sayeth the LORD. ³⁰ For her furiousness may neither uphold her with strength nor deed.

² "Thou son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Because thou hast a proud heart and hast said, 'I am a God, I have my seat in the midst of the sea like a God,' whereas thou art but a man, and not God, and yet standest in thine own conceit, that thou art God: ³ Behold, thou thinkest thyself wiser than Daniel, that there is no secrets hid from thee. ⁴ With thy wisdom and thy understanding, thou hast gotten thee great wealthiness, and gathered treasure of silver and gold. ⁵ With thy great wisdom and occupying, hast thou increased thy power, and because of thy great riches, thy heart is proud. ⁶ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as thou hast lift up thine heart, as though thou were God: ⁷ behold, I will bring enemies upon thee, even the tyrants of the Heathen. These shall draw out their swords upon thy beauty and wisdom, and shall defile thy glory.

⁹ And behold, here cometh a chariot of men with two horsemen." And he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! She is turned upside down, and all the images of her gods are smitten to the ground!"

⁹ And therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be thus reconciled. And so shall he take away all the fruit of his sins. As for altar stones, he shall make them all as stones beaten to powder: the groves and Idols shall not stand.

²⁵ And I will pour pure water upon you, and ye shall be cleansed from all uncleanness, and from all your idols. I will cleanse you.

²³ they shall also defile themselves no more with their abominations, Idols, and all their wicked doings. I will help them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned: and will so cleanse them, that they shall be my people, and I their God.

⁸ Ephraim, what have ye any more to do with idols? I have healed him and looked on him. I will be as a great fir tree, and of me shall thy fruit be found.

³ I will gather up man and beast: I will gather up the fowls in the air and the fish in the sea, to the great decay of the wicked: and will utterly destroy the men out of the land, sayeth the LORD.

² And then, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, I will destroy the names of Idols out of the land: so that they shall no more be put in remembrance. As for the false prophets also and the unclean spirit, I shall take them out of the land:

⁶ And when the men of Israel saw themselves in a strait, and that the people were encumbered, they hid themselves in caves, in privy holes, in rocks, dens and pits.

¹¹ And when they had both showed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, "See, the Hebrews come out of the holes where they had hid themselves in."

⁶ Stand up, O LORD, in thy wrath, lift up thyself, because of the indignation of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁶ In my trouble I will call upon the LORD, and complain unto my God. So he shall hear my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint shall come before him: it shall enter even into his ears. {TYNDALE: In my tribulation I called to the LORD, and cried to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.} ⁷ The earth trembled and quaked; the very foundations also of the hills shook and were removed, because he was wroth. {TYNDALE: And the earth trembled and quoke, and the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.} ⁸ There went a smoke out in his presence, and a consuming fire out of his mouth, so that coals were kindled at it. {TYNDALE: Smoke went up out of his nostrils, and consuming fire out of his mouth, that coals were kindled of him.} ⁹ He bowed the heavens, also, and came down, and it was dark under his feet. {TYNDALE: And he bowed heaven and came down, and darkness underneath his feet.} ¹⁰ He rode upon the Cherub, and did fly: he came flying upon the wings of the wind. {TYNDALE: And he rode upon Cherub and flew: and appeared upon the wings of the wind.} ¹¹ He made darkness his secret place, his pavilion round about him; with dark waters and thick clouds to cover him. {TYNDALE: And he made darkness a tabernacle round about him, with water gathered together in thick clouds.} ¹² At the brightness of his presence, his clouds removed hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: Of the brightness that was before him, coals were set on fire.} ¹³ The LORD also thundered out of the heaven, and the highest gave his thunder, with hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most high put out his voice.} ¹⁴ He sent out his arrows and scattered them, he cast forth lightnings, and destroyed them. {TYNDALE: And he shot arrows and scattered them, and hurled lightning and turmoiled them.} ¹⁵ The springs of waters were seen, and the foundations of the round world were discovered at thy chiding, O LORD, at the blasting of the breath of thy displeasures. {TYNDALE: And the bottom of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were seen, by the reason of the rebuking of the LORD, and through the blasting of the breath of his nostrils.}

⁷ Thou art fearful, for who may abide in thy sight, when thou art angry? ⁸ When thou lettest thy judgment be heard from heaven, the earth trembleth and is still; ⁹ yea, when God ariseth to give judgment, and to help all them that be in adversity upon earth. Selah.

⁵ What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? And thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? ⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? And ye little hills, like young sheep? ⁷ Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

¹⁰ And therefore get thee soon into some rock, and hide thee in the ground for the fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty:

²¹ that he may the better creep into the caves and rocks, and into the cliffs of hard stones, from the sight of the fearful judge and from the glory of his Majesty.

³² And it shall come to pass that whithersoever he goeth the rod shall cleave unto him which the LORD shall lay upon him, with tabrets and harps: and with a great war shall he fight against his host.

¹⁶ Behold, sayeth the LORD, I will send out many fishers to take them, and after that will I send out many hunters to hunt them out, from all mountains and hills and out of the caves of stones.

³ For why? Behold, the LORD shall go out of his place, and come down, and tread upon the high things of the earth. ⁴ The mountains shall consume under him, and the valleys shall cleave asunder: like as wax consumeth at the fire, and as the waters run downward.

¹⁷ They shall lick the dust like a serpent, as the worms of the earth, that tremble in their holes. They shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and they shall fear thee.

³ The LORD suffereth long, he is of great power, and so innocent that he leaveth no man faultless before him. The LORD goeth forth in tempest and stormy weather; the clouds are the dust of his feet. ⁴ When he reproveth the sea, he drieth it up, and turneth all the floods to dry land. Bashan is desolate, Carmel and the pleasure of Lebanon wasteth away. ⁵ The mountains tremble for him, the hills consume. At the sight of him the earth quaketh: yea, the whole world, and all that dwell therein. ⁶ Who may endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abide his grim displeasure? His anger taketh on like fire, and the hard rocks burst in sunder before him.

³ God cometh from Teman, and the holy one from the mount of Paran. Selah. ⁴ His glory covereth the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise. His shine is as the sun, and beams of light go out of his hands; there is his power hid. ⁵ Destruction goeth before him, and burning cressettes go from his feet. ⁶ He standeth, and measureth the earth. He looketh, and the people consume away, the mountains of the world fall down to powder, and the hills are fain to bow themselves, for his goings are everlasting and sure. ⁷ I saw, that the pavilions of the Ethiopians and the tents of the land of Midian were vexed for weariness. ⁸ Wast thou not angry, O LORD, in the waters? Was not thy wrath in the floods, and thy displeasure in the sea? Yes, when thou sattest upon thine horse, and when thy chariots had the victory. ⁹ Thou showedest thy bow openly, like as thou hadst promised with an oath unto the tribes. Selah. Thou didst divide the waters of the earth. ¹⁰ The mountains saw thee, and they tembled, the water stream went away: the deep made a noise at the lifting up of thine hand. ¹¹ The Sun and Moon remained still in their habitation. Thine arrows went out glistering, and thy spears as the shine of the lightning. ¹² Thou troddest down the land in thine anger, and didst thrash the Heathen in thy displeasure. ¹³ Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for the salvation of thine anointed. Thou smotest down the head in the house of the ungodly, and discoveredest his foundations, even unto the neck of him. Selah. ¹⁴ Thou didst strike through with his scepter, the heads of his plan people: which come as a stormy wind to scatter me abroad, and are glad when they may eat up the poor secretly.

⁶ For thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: yet once more will I shake heaven and earth, the sea, and the dry land:

²¹ "Speak to Zerubbabel the prince of Judah, and say, 'I will shake both heaven and earth, ²² and overthrow the seat of the kingdoms, yea and destroy the mighty kingdom of the Heathen. I will overthrow the chariots, and those that sit upon then, so that both horse and man shall fall down, every man through his neighbour's sword.

³⁸ which the world was not worthy of: They wandered in wilderness, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, and now declareth, saying "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven."

¹⁰ Nevertheless, the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which day, the heavens shall perish with terrible noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth, with the works that are therein, shall burn. ¹¹ If all these things shall perish, what manner persons ought ye to be in holy conversation, and godliness: ¹² looking for, and hasting unto, the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens shall perish with fire, and the elements shall be consumed with heat. ¹³ Nevertheless, we look for a new heaven, and a new earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹² And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake, and the sun was as black as sackcloth made of hair. And the moon waxed even as blood: ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth from her her figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. ¹⁴ And heaven vanished away, as a scroll when it is rolled together. And all mountains and isles were moved out of their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in dens, and in rocks of the hills,

⁶ And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.

¹³ And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain names of men seven thousand. And the remnant were afeared, and gave glory to God of heaven.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen, in his temple, the ark of his testament: and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunderings and earthquake, and much hail.

¹⁸ And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great.

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found.

¹⁹ the heron, the jay with the kind, the lapwing and the swallow.

²² Ye shall destroy also the covering of your silver images, and the decking of your golden idols. Even as filthiness shall ye put them away, and say, "Get you hence."

⁷ For in that day every man shall cast out his Idols of silver and gold, which ye have made with your sinful hands.

¹ Bel is fallen, and Nebo is broken down: whose images were a burden for the beasts and cattle, to overladen them, and to make them weary.

⁶ Ye fools, no doubt, will take out silver and gold out of your purses, and weigh it, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, that men may kneel down and worship it.

⁷ But the things that were vantage unto me I counted loss for Christ's sake. ⁸ Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ,

²² and while my glory goeth forth I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will put mine hand upon thee while I pass by.

⁶ Their dwelling was beside foul brooks, yea in the caves and dens of the earth.

¹⁴ Up, haste my love, my dove, in the holes of the rock and secret places of the walls. Show me thy face and let me hear thy voice: for thy voice is sweet and thy fashion beautiful.

¹⁹ Men shall creep into holes of stone, and into caves of the earth, for the fear of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty: what time as he shall arise to shake the earth.

⁷ Then the LORD God shope man, even of the mold of the earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life. So man was made a living soul.

²² so that all that had the breath of life in the nostrils of it, throughout all that was on dry land, died.

¹⁵ that my soul wisheth rather to be strangled, and my bones to be dead. ¹⁶ I can see no remedy. I shall live no more. O spare me then, for my days are but vain. ¹⁷ "What is man, that thou dost magnify him? And that thou settest thy heart upon him? ¹⁸ Thou visitest him early, and every day: and suddenly doest thou try him. ¹⁹ Why goest thou not from me, nor lettest me alone, so long till I swallow down my spittle? ²⁰ I have offended; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? Why hast thou made me to stand in thy way, and am so heavy a burden unto myself? ²¹ Why dost thou not forgive my sin? Wherefore takest thou not away my wickedness? Behold, now must I sleep in the dust: And if thou seekest me tomorrow in the morning, I shall be gone."

³ My lips shall talk of no vanity, and my tongue shall speak no deceit,

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And what is the son of man that thou visitest him?

³ LORD, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him? Or the son of man, that thou so regardest him? ⁴ Man is like a thing of naught; his time passeth away like a shadow.

³ O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man, for there is no help in them.

¹⁵ Behold, all people are in comparison of him, as a drop to a bucketful, and are counted as the least thing that the balance weigheth. Behold, the Isles are in comparison of him, as the shadow of the sunbeam.

⁵ Thus sayeth the LORD, "Cursed be the man that putteth his trust in man, and that taketh flesh for his arm: and he, whose heart departeth from the LORD.

¹⁴ and yet cannot tell what shall happen tomorrow. For what thing is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
