| [1]WoeH1945 unto them that decreeH2710[H8802] unrighteousH205 decreesH2711, and that writeH3789[H8764] grievousnessH5999 H3789which they have prescribedH8765 |
[1]Woe unto them that decree wicked decrees, and write grievous things, |
| [2]To turn asideH5186[H8687] the needyH1800 from judgmentH1779, and to take awayH1497[H8800] the rightH4941 from the poorH6041 of my peopleH5971, that widowsH490 may be their preyH7998, and that they may robH962[H8799] the fatherlessH3490! |
[2]To keep back the poor from judgment, and to take away the judgment of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may spoil the fatherless. |
| [3]And what will ye doH6213[H8799] in the dayH3117 of visitationH6486, and in the desolationH7722 which shall comeH935[H8799] from farH4801? to whom will ye fleeH5127[H8799] for helpH5833? and where will ye leaveH5800[H8799] your gloryH3519? |
[3]What will ye do now in the day of visitation, and of destruction, which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory? |
| [4]Without me they shallH1115 bow downH3766[H8804] under the prisonersH616, and they shall fallH5307[H8799] under the slainH2026[H8803]. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725[H8804], but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.[H8803] |
[4]Without me everyone shall fall among them that are bound, and they shall fall down among the slain: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. |
| [5]OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. |
[5]O Asshur [Assyria], the rod of my wrath: and the staff in their hands is mine indignation. |
| [6]I will sendH7971[H8762] him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680[H8762], to takeH7997[H8800] the spoilH7998, and to takeH962[H8800] the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760[H8800][H4823] like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. |
[6]I will send him to a dissembling nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath to take the spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them under feet like the mire in the street. |
| [7]Howbeit he meanethH1819[H8762] not so, neither doth his heartH3824 thinkH2803[H8799] so; but it is in his heartH3824 to destroyH8045[H8687] and cut offH3772[H8687] nationsH1471 not a fewH4592. |
[7]But he thinketh not so, neither doth his heart esteem it so: but he imagineth to destroy and to cut off not a few nations. |
| [8]For he saithH559[H8799], Are not my princesH8269 altogetherH3162 kingsH4428? |
[8]For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? |
| [9]Is not CalnoH3641 as CarchemishH3751? is not HamathH2574 as ArpadH774? is not SamariaH8111 as DamascusH1834? |
[9]Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus? |
| [10]As my handH3027 hath foundH4672[H8804] the kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, and whose graven imagesH6456 did excel them of JerusalemH3389 and of SamariaH8111; |
[10]Like as mine hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, seeing their idols were above Jerusalem, and above Samaria: |
| [11]Shall I not, as I have doneH6213[H8804] unto SamariaH8111 and her idolsH457, so doH6213[H8799] to JerusalemH3389 and her idolsH6091? |
[11]Shall not I, as I have done to Samaria, and to the idols thereof, so do to Jerusalem and to the idols thereof? |
| [12]Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LordH136 hath performedH1214[H8762] his whole workH4639 upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, I will punishH6485[H8799] the fruitH6529 of the stoutH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the gloryH8597 of his highH7312 looksH5869. |
[12]But when the Lord hath accomplished all his work upon mount Zion and Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Asshur [Assyria], and his glorious and proud looks, |
| [13]For he saithH559[H8804], By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213[H8804] it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995[H8738]: and I have removedH5493[H8686] the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154[H8782] their treasuresH6259[H8675][H6264], and I have put downH3381[H8686] the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] like a valiantH47 manH3524: |
[13]Because he said, By the power of mine own hand have I done it, and by my wisdom, because I am wise: therefore I have removed the borders of the people, and have spoiled their treasures, and have pulled down the inhabitants like a valiant man. |
| [14]And my handH3027 hath foundH4672[H8799] as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622[H8800] eggsH1000 that are leftH5800[H8803], have I gatheredH622[H8804] all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074[H8802] the wingH3671, or openedH6475[H8802] the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.[H8772] |
[14]And mine hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathereth eggs that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none to move the wing or to open the mouth, or to whisper. |
| [15]Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286[H8691] itself against him that hewethH2672[H8802] therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431[H8691] itself against him that shakethH5130[H8688] it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130[H8687] itself against them that lift it upH7311[H8688], or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311[H8687] itself, as if it were no woodH6086. |
[15]Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should lift up itself against him that taketh it up, or the staff should exalt itself, as it were no wood. |
| [16]Therefore shall the LordH113, the LordH136[H8676][H3068] of hostsH6635, sendH7971[H8762] among his fat onesH4924 leannessH7332; and under his gloryH3519 he shall kindleH3344[H8799] a burningH3350 like the burning of a fireH784. |
[16]Therefore shall the Lord God of hosts send among his fat men, leanness, and under his glory he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of fire. |
| [17]And the lightH216 of IsraelH3478 shall be for a fireH784, and his Holy OneH6918 for a flameH3852: and it shall burnH1197[H8804] and devourH398[H8804] his thornsH7898 and his briersH8068 in oneH259 dayH3117; |
[17]And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame, and it shall burn, and devour his thorns and his briers in one day: |
| [18]And shall consumeH3615[H8762] the gloryH3519 of his forestH3293, and of his fruitful fieldH3759, both soulH5315 and bodyH1320: and they shall be as when a standardbearerH5263[H8802] faintethH4549.[H8800] |
[18]And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful fields both soul and flesh: and he shall be as the fainting of a standard bearer. |
| [19]And the restH7605 of the treesH6086 of his forestH3293 shall be fewH4557, that a childH5288 may writeH3789 themH8799. |
[19]And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may tell them. |
| [20]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the remnantH7605 of IsraelH3478, and such as are escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, shall no more againH3254[H8686] stayH8172[H8736] upon him that smoteH5221[H8688] them; but shall stayH8172[H8738] upon the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, in truthH571. |
[20]And at that day shall the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, stay no more upon him that smote them, but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel in truth. |
| [21]The remnantH7605 shall returnH7725[H8799], even the remnantH7605 of JacobH3290, unto the mightyH1368 GodH410. |
[21]The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob unto the mighty God. |
| [22]For though thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, yet a remnantH7605 of them shall returnH7725[H8799]: the consumptionH3631 decreedH2782[H8803] shall overflowH7857[H8802] with righteousnessH6666. |
[22]For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, yet shall the remnant of them return. The consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. |
| [23]For the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 shall makeH6213[H8802] a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782[H8737], in the midstH7130 of all the landH776. |
[23]For the Lord God of hosts shall make the consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. |
| [24]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, O my peopleH5971 that dwellestH3427[H8802] in ZionH6726, be not afraidH3372[H8799] of the AssyrianH804: he shall smiteH5221[H8686] thee with a rodH7626, and shall lift upH5375[H8799] his staffH4294 against thee, after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714. |
[24]Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur [Assyria]: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee after the manner of Egypt: |
| [25]For yet a veryH4213 little whileH4592, and the indignationH2195 shall ceaseH3615[H8804], and mine angerH639 in their destructionH8399. |
[25]But yet a very little time, and the wrath shall be consumed, and mine anger in their destruction. |
| [26]And the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall stir upH5782[H8790] a scourgeH7752 for him according to the slaughterH4347 of MidianH4080 at the rockH6697 of OrebH6159: and as his rodH4294 was upon the seaH3220, so shall he lift it upH5375[H8804] after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714. |
[26]And the Lord of hosts shall raise up a scourge for him, according to the plague of Midian in the rock Oreb: and as his staff was upon the sea, so he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt. |
| [27]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that his burdenH5448 shall be taken awayH5493[H8799] from off thy shoulderH7926, and his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677, and the yokeH5923 shall be destroyedH2254[H8795] becauseH6440 of the anointingH8081. |
[27]And at that day shall his burden be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck: and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. |
| [28]He is comeH935[H8804] to AiathH5857, he is passedH5674[H8804] to MigronH4051; at MichmashH4363 he hath laid upH6485[H8686] his carriagesH3627: |
[28]He is come to Aiath: he is passed into Migron: at Michmash shall he lay up his armor. |
| [29]They are gone overH5674[H8804] the passageH4569: they have taken up their lodgingH4411 at GebaH1387; RamahH7414 is afraidH2729[H8804]; GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 is fledH5127.[H8804] |
[29]They have gone over the ford: they lodged in the lodging at Geba: Ramah is afraid: Gibeah of Saul is fled away. |
| [30]Lift upH6670[H8761] thy voiceH6963, O daughterH1323 ofH1530 GallimH1554: cause it to be heardH7181[H8685] unto LaishH3919, O poorH6041 AnathothH6068. |
[30]Lift up thy voice, O daughter Gallim, cause Laish to hear, O poor Anathoth. |
| [31]MadmenahH4088 is removedH5074[H8804]; the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of GebimH1374 gather themselves to fleeH5756.[H8689] |
[31]Madmenah is removed: the inhabitants of Gebim have gathered themselves together. |
| [32]As yet shall he remainH5975[H8800] at NobH5011 that dayH3117: he shall shakeH5130[H8787] his handH3027 against the mountH2022 of the daughterH1323[H8675][H1004] of ZionH6726, the hillH1389 of JerusalemH3389. |
[32]Yet there is a time that he will stay at Nob: he shall lift up his hand toward the mount of the daughter Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. |
| [33]Behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall lopH5586[H8764] the boughH6288 with terrorH4637: and the high onesH7311[H8802] of statureH6967 shall be hewn downH1438[H8803], and the haughtyH1364 shall be humbledH8213.[H8799] |
[33]Behold, the Lord God of hosts shall cut off the bough with fear, and they of high stature shall be cut off, and the high shall be humbled. |
| [34]And he shall cut downH5362[H8765] the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293 with ironH1270, and LebanonH3844 shall fallH5307[H8799] by a mighty oneH117. |
[34]And he shall cut away the thick places of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall have a mighty fall. |
