[4]I will also stretch outH5186[H8804] mine handH3027 upon JudahH3063, and upon all the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389; and I will cut offH3772[H8689] the remnantH7605 of BaalH1168 from this placeH4725, and the nameH8034 of the ChemarimsH3649 with the priestsH3548; [4]And Y schal stretche out myn hond on Juda, and on alle dwellers of Jerusalem; and Y schal lese fro this place the relifs of Baal, and the names of keperis of housis, with prestis;
[5]And them that worshipH7812[H8693] the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 upon the housetopsH1406; and them that worshipH7812[H8693] and that swearH7650[H8737] by the LORDH3068, and that swearH7650[H8737] by MalchamH4428; [5]and hem that worschipen on roouys the knyythod of heuene, and worschipen, and sweren in the Lord, and sweren in Melchon;
[6]And them that are turned backH5472[H8737] fromH310 the LORDH3068; and those that have not soughtH1245[H8765] the LORDH3068, nor enquiredH1875 for himH8804. [6]and whiche ben turned awei bihynde the bak of the Lord, and whiche `souyten not the Lord, nether enserchiden hym.
[7]Hold thy peaceH2013[H8761] at the presenceH6440 of the LordH136 GODH3069: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138: for the LORDH3068 hath preparedH3559[H8689] a sacrificeH2077, he hath bidH6942[H8689] his guestsH7121.[H8803] [7]Be ye stille fro the face of the Lord God, for niy is the dai of the Lord; for the Lord made redi a sacrifice, halewide hise clepid men.
[8]And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 sacrificeH2077, that I will punishH6485[H8804] the princesH8269, and the king'sH4428 childrenH1121, and all such as are clothedH3847[H8802] with strangeH5237 apparelH4403. [8]And it schal be, in the dai of sacrifice of the Lord, Y schal visite on princes, and on sones of the kyng, and on alle that ben clothid with pilgrimys, ether straunge, clothing.
[9]In the same dayH3117 also will I punishH6485[H8804] all those that leapH1801[H8802] on the thresholdH4670, which fillH4390[H8764] their masters'H113 housesH1004 with violenceH2555 and deceitH4820. [9]And Y schal visite on ech that proudli entrith on the threisfold in that dai, whiche fillen the hous of her Lord God with wickidnesse and gile.
[10]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that there shall be the noiseH6963 of a cryH6818 from the fishH1709 gateH8179, and an howlingH3215 from the secondH4932, and a greatH1419 crashingH7667 from the hillsH1389. [10]And ther schal be in that dai, seith the Lord, a vois of cry fro the yate of fischis, and yellynge fro the secounde yate, and greet defoulyng fro litle hillis.
[11]HowlH3213[H8685], ye inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of MakteshH4389, for all the merchantH3667 peopleH5971 are cut downH1820[H8738]; all they that bearH5187 silverH3701 are cut offH3772.[H8738] [11]Yelle ye, dwelleris of Pila; al the puple of Canaan was stille togidere, alle men wlappid in siluer perischiden.
[12]And it shall come to pass at that timeH6256, that I will searchH2664[H8762] JerusalemH3389 with candlesH5216, and punishH6485[H8804] the menH582 that are settledH7087[H8802] on their leesH8105: that sayH559[H8802] in their heartH3824, The LORDH3068 will not do goodH3190[H8686], neither will he do evilH7489.[H8686] [12]And it schal be, in that tyme Y schal seke Jerusalem with lanternes, and Y schal visite on alle men piyt in her darstis, whiche seien in her hertis, The Lord schal not do wel, and he schal not do yuele.
[13]Therefore their goodsH2428 shall become a bootyH4933, and their housesH1004 a desolationH8077: they shall also buildH1129[H8804] housesH1004, but not inhabitH3427[H8799] them; and they shall plantH5193[H8804] vineyardsH3754, but not drinkH8354[H8799] the wine thereofH3196. [13]And the strengthe of hem schal be in to rauyschyng, and the housis of hem in to desert; and thei schulen bilde housis, and schulen not enhabite; and thei schulen plaunte vyneyerdis, and thei schulen not drynke the wyn of hem.
[14]The greatH1419 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138, it is nearH7138, and hastethH4118 greatlyH3966, even the voiceH6963 of the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068: the mighty manH1368 shall cryH6873[H8802] there bitterlyH4751. [14]Nyy is the greet dai of the Lord, niy and swift ful myche; the vois of the dai of the Lord is bittir, a strong man schal be in tribulacioun there.
[15]That dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of wrathH5678, a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and distressH4691, a dayH3117 of wastenessH7722 and desolationH4875, a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thick darknessH6205, [15]`The ilke dai is a dai of wraththe, dai of tribulacioun and angwisch, dai of nedynesse and wretchidnesse, dai of derknessis and myist, dai of cloude and whirlewynd,
[16]A dayH3117 of the trumpetH7782 and alarmH8643 against the fencedH1219[H8803] citiesH5892, and against the highH1364 towersH6438. [16]dai of trumpe and noise on strong citees and on hiye corneris.
[17]And I will bring distressH6887[H8689] upon menH120, that they shall walkH1980[H8804] like blind menH5787, because they have sinnedH2398[H8804] against the LORDH3068: and their bloodH1818 shall be poured outH8210[H8795] as dustH6083, and their fleshH3894 as the dungH1561. [17]And Y schal troble men, and thei schulen walke as blynde, for thei han synned ayens the Lord; and the blood of hem schal be sched out as erthe, and the bodies of hem schulen be as tordis.
[18]Neither their silverH3701 nor their goldH2091 shall be ableH3201[H8799] to deliverH5337[H8687] them in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 wrathH5678; but the whole landH776 shall be devouredH398[H8735] by the fireH784 of his jealousyH7068: for he shall makeH6213[H8799] even a speedyH926[H8737] riddanceH3617 of all them that dwellH3427[H8802] in the landH776. [18]But and the siluer of hem, and gold of hem, schal not mowe delyuere hem in the dai of wraththe of the Lord; in fier of his feruour al erthe schal be deuourid, for he schal make ende with haastyng to alle men enhabitynge the erthe.
