| [1]Wo to that abhominable, filthy, and cruel citie |
[1]Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! |
| [2]She hearde not the voyce, she receaued not correction, she trusted not in the Lorde, she drewe not neare to her God |
[2]She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. |
| [3]Her rulers within her are as roaring lions, her iudges are as wolues in the euening, whiche leaue nothing behinde them till the morowe |
[3]Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. |
| [4]Her prophetes are light persons & vnfaythful men, her priestes haue polluted the sanctuarie, & haue wrested the law |
[4]Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. |
| [5]But the iust Lord that doth no vnright, was in the middes therof, euery morning shewing them his lawe clearly, and ceassed not: but the vngodly will not learne to be ashamed |
[5]The just LORD is in the midst of her; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. |
| [6]I haue destroyed the nations, their towres are desolate, I haue made their streetes wast, that none shall passe by: their cities are destroyed, without man, and without inhabitaunt |
[6]I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is no inhabitant. |
| [7]I sayde vnto them, O feare me, and be content to be refourmed, so their dwelling shoulde not be destroyed howe soeuer I visited them: But neuerthelesse, they rose vp early, and corrupted all their workes |
[7]I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, however I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings. |
| [8]Therfore wayte ye vpon me, sayth the Lorde, vntill the time that I ryse vp to the pray: for I am determined to gather the people, & to bring the kingdomes together, that I may poure out myne anger, yea all my wrathfull displeasure vpon them: For all the earth shalbe consumed with the fire of my ielousie |
[8]Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. |
| [9]And then will I clense the lippes of the people, that they may euery one call vpon the name of the Lorde, and serue him with one consent |
[9]For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. |
| [10]From beyonde the riuers of Ethiopia, the daughter of my dispearsed prayng vnto me, shall bring me an offering |
[10]From beyond the rivers of Cush my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering. |
| [11]In that time shalt thou no more be confounded, because of all the imaginations wherethorowe thou haddest offended me: for I will take away the proude boasters of thyne honour from thee, so that thou shalt no more triumph because of my holy hill |
[11]In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, in which thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. |
| [12]In thee also will I leaue a smal poore simple people, whiche shall trust in the name of the Lorde |
[12]I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. |
| [13]The remnaunt of Israel shall do no wickednesse, nor speake lyes, neither shall there any deceytfull tongue be found in their mouthes: For they shalbe fed, and take their rest, and no man shall make them afrayde |
[13]The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. |
| [14]Reioyce O daughter Sion, be ioyfull O Israel: reioyce and be glad from thy whole heart O daughter Hierusalem |
[14]Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. |
| [15]For the Lorde hath taken away thy punishment, & hath cast out thyne enemies: The king of Israel, euen the Lord him selfe is with thee, so that thou nedest no more to feare any misfortune |
[15]The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thy enemy: the King of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. |
| [16]In that time it shalbe sayde to Hierusalem, Feare not: and to Sion, Let not thyne handes be flacke |
[16]In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thy hands be slack. |
| [17]For the Lorde thy God in the mids of thee is mightie, he will saue [thee] he wil reioyce ouer thee with ioy, he wil quiet him selfe in his loue, he will reioyce ouer thee with gladnesse |
[17]The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. |
| [18]After a certayne time will I gather the afflicted that were of thee, and them that bare the reproche for it |
[18]I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. |
| [19]And behold, in that time will I destroy all those that vexe thee, I will helpe the lame, and gather vp the castaway: yea I will get them prayse and honour in al landes, where they haue ben put to shame |
[19]Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. |
| [20]At the same time will I bring you againe, & at the same time will I gather you: I will get you a name and a good report among all people of the earth, when I turne backe your captiuitie before your eyes, sayth the Lorde |
[20]At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD. |
