[1]Wo to you, that ben ful of richessis in Sion, and tristen in the hil of Samarie, ye principal men, the heedis of puplis, that goen proudli in to the hous of Israel. [1]WoeH1945 to them that are at easeH7600 in ZionH6726, and trustH982[H8802] in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which are namedH5344[H8803] chiefH7225 of the nationsH1471, to whom the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 H935cameH8804
[2]Go ye in to Calamye, and se ye, and go ye fro thennus in to Emath the greet; and go ye doun in to Geth of Palestyns, and to alle the beste rewmes of hem, if her terme be broddere than youre terme. [2]PassH5674[H8798] ye unto CalnehH3641, and seeH7200[H8798]; and from thence goH3212[H8798] ye to HamathH2574 the greatH7227[H8677][H2579]: then go downH3381[H8798] to GathH1661 of the PhilistinesH6430: be they betterH2896 than these kingdomsH4467? or their borderH1366 greaterH7227 than your borderH1366?
[3]And ye ben departid in to yuel dai, and neiyen to the seete of wickidnesse; [3]Ye that put far awayH5077[H8764] the evilH7451 dayH3117, and cause the seatH7675[H8800] of violenceH2555 H5066to come nearH8686
[4]and ye slepen in beddis of yuer, and doen letcherie in youre beddis; and ye eten a lomb of the flok, and calues of the myddil of droue; [4]That lieH7901[H8802] upon bedsH4296 of ivoryH8127, and stretchH5628[H8803] themselves upon their couchesH6210, and eatH398[H8802] the lambsH3733 out of the flockH6629, and the calvesH5695 out of the midstH8432 of the stallH4770;
[5]and ye syngen at vois of sautree. As Dauid thei gessiden hem for to haue instrumentis of song, and drynken wyn in viols; [5]That chantH6527[H8802] to the soundH6310 of the violH5035, and inventH2803[H8804] to themselves instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, like DavidH1732;
[6]and with beste oynement thei weren anoynted; and in no thing thei hadden compassioun on the sorewe, ether defoulyng, of Joseph. [6]That drinkH8354[H8802] wineH3196 in bowlsH4219, and anointH4886[H8799] themselves with the chiefH7225 ointmentsH8081: but they are not grievedH2470[H8738] for the afflictionH7667 of JosephH3130.
[7]Wherfor now thei schulen passe in the heed of men passynge ouer, and the doyng of men doynge letcherie schal be don awei. [7]Therefore now shall they go captiveH1540[H8799] with the firstH7218 that go captiveH1540[H8802], and the banquetH4797 of them that stretchedH5628[H8803] themselves shall be removedH5493.[H8804]
[8]The Lord God swoor in his soule, seith the Lord God of oostis, Y wlate the pride of Jacob, and Y hate the housis of hym, and Y schal bitake the citee with hise dwelleris; [8]The LordH136 GODH3069 hath swornH7650[H8738] by himselfH5315, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 the GodH430 of hostsH6635, I abhorH8374[H8764] the excellencyH1347 of JacobH3290, and hateH8130[H8804] his palacesH759: therefore will I deliver upH5462[H8689] the cityH5892 with all that is thereinH4393.
[9]that if ten men ben left in oon hous, and thei schulen die. [9]And it shall come to pass, if there remainH3498[H8735] tenH6235 menH582 in oneH259 houseH1004, that they shall dieH4191.[H8804]
[10]And his neiybore schal take hym, and schal brenne hym, that he bere out boonys of the hous. And he schal seie to hym, that is in the priuy places of the hous, [10]And a man's uncleH1730 shall take him upH5375[H8804], and he that burnethH5635[H8764] him, to bring outH3318[H8687] the bonesH6106 out of the houseH1004, and shall sayH559[H8804] unto him that is by the sidesH3411 of the houseH1004, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall sayH559[H8804], NoH657. Then shall he sayH559[H8804], Hold thy tongueH2013[H8761]: for we may not make mentionH2142[H8687] of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
[11]Whether ther is yit anentis thee? And he schal answer, An ende is. And he schal seie to hym, Be thou stille, and thenke thou not on the name of the Lord. [11]For, behold, the LORDH3068 commandethH6680[H8764], and he will smiteH5221[H8689] the greatH1419 houseH1004 with breachesH7447, and the littleH6996 houseH1004 with cleftsH1233.
[12]For lo! the Lord schal comaunde, and schal smyte the grettere hous with fallyngis, and the lesse hous with brekyngis. [12]Shall horsesH5483 runH7323[H8799] upon the rockH5553? will one plowH2790[H8799] there with oxenH1241? for ye have turnedH2015[H8804] judgmentH4941 into gallH7219, and the fruitH6529 of righteousnessH6666 into hemlockH3939:
[13]Whether horsis moun renne in stoonys, ether it mai be eerid with wielde oxun? For ye turneden doom in to bitternesse, and the fruyt of riytfulnesse in to wermod. [13]Ye which rejoiceH8056 in a thingH1697 of noughtH3808, which sayH559[H8802], Have we not takenH3947[H8804] to us hornsH7161 by our own strengthH2392?
[14]And ye ben glad in nouyt, and ye seien, Whether not in oure strengthe we token to vs hornes? [14]But, behold, I will raise upH6965[H8688] against you a nationH1471, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 the GodH430 of hostsH6635; and they shall afflictH3905[H8804] you from the entering inH935[H8800] of HemathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of the wildernessH6160.
