| [1]Wo to you, that thenken vnprofitable thing, and worchen yuele in youre beddis; in the morewtid liyt thei don it, for the hond of hem is ayenus God. |
[1]WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803[H8802] iniquityH205, and workH6466[H8802] evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213[H8799] it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027. |
| [2]Thei coueitiden feeldis, and tooken violentli; and rauyschiden housis, and falsli calengiden a man and his hous, a man and his eritage. |
[2]And they covetH2530[H8804] fieldsH7704, and take them by violenceH1497[H8804]; and housesH1004, and take them awayH5375[H8804]: so they oppressH6231[H8804] a manH1397 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. |
| [3]Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y thenke on this meynee yuel, fro which ye schulen not take awei youre neckis; and ye schulen not walke proude, for the worste tyme is. |
[3]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Behold, against this familyH4940 do I deviseH2803[H8802] an evilH7451, from which ye shall not removeH4185[H8686] your necksH6677; neither shall ye goH3212[H8799] haughtilyH7317: for this timeH6256 is evilH7451. |
| [4]In that dai a parable schal be takun on you, and a song schal be songun with swetnesse of men, seiynge, Bi robbyng we ben distried; a part of my puple is chaungid; hou schal he go awei fro me, whanne he turneth ayen that schal departe youre cuntreis? |
[4]In that dayH3117 shall one take upH5375[H8799] a parableH4912 against you, and lamentH5091[H8804] with a dolefulH5093 lamentationH5092, and sayH559[H8804], We be utterlyH7703[H8800] spoiledH7703[H8738]: he hath changedH4171[H8686] the portionH2506 of my peopleH5971: how hath he removedH4185[H8686] it from me! turning awayH7725[H8788] he hath dividedH2505[H8762] our fieldsH7704. |
| [5]For this thing `noon schal be to thee sendynge a litil corde of sort in cumpeny of the Lord. |
[5]Therefore thou shalt have none that shall castH7993[H8688] a cordH2256 by lotH1486 in the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068. |
| [6]A! thou Israel, speke ye not spekyng; it schal not droppe on these men, confusioun schal not catche, |
[6]ProphesyH5197[H8686] ye not, say they to them that prophesyH5197[H8686]: they shall not prophesyH5197[H8686] to them, that they shall not takeH5253[H8799] shameH3639. |
| [7]seith the hous of Jacob. Whether the Spirit of the Lord is abreggid, either siche ben the thouytis of hym? Whether my wordis ben not gode, with hym that goith riytli? |
[7]O thou that art namedH559[H8803] the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, is the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 straitenedH7114[H8804]? are these his doingsH4611? do not my wordsH1697 do goodH3190[H8686] to him that walkethH1980[H8802] uprightlyH3477? |
| [8]And ayenward my puple roos togidere in to an aduersarie; ye token awei the mantil aboue the coote, and ye turneden in to batel hem that wenten sympli. |
[8]Even of lateH865 my peopleH5971 is risen upH6965[H8787] as an enemyH341[H8802]: ye pull offH6584[H8686] the robeH145 withH4136 the garmentH8008 from them that passH5674[H8802] by securelyH983 as men averseH7725[H8803] from warH4421. |
| [9]Ye castiden the wymmen of my puple out of the hous of her delices; fro the litle children of hem ye token awei myn heriyng with outen ende. |
[9]The womenH802 of my peopleH5971 have ye cast outH1644[H8762] from their pleasantH8588 housesH1004; from their childrenH5768 have ye taken awayH3947[H8799] my gloryH1926 for everH5769. |
| [10]Rise ye, and go, for here ye han not reste; for the vnclennesse therof it schal be corrupt with the worst rot. |
[10]AriseH6965[H8798] ye, and departH3212[H8798]; for this is not your restH4496: because it is pollutedH2930[H8800], it shall destroyH2254[H8762] you, even with a soreH4834[H8737] destructionH2256. |
| [11]Y wolde that Y were not a man hauynge spirit, and rathere Y spak a leesyng. Y schal droppe to thee in to wyn, and in to drunkenesse; and this puple schal be, on whom it is droppid. |
[11]IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980[H8802] in the spiritH7307 and falsehoodH8267 do lieH3576[H8765], saying, I will prophesyH5197[H8686] unto thee of wineH3196 and of strong drinkH7941; he shall even be the prophetH5197[H8688] of this peopleH5971. |
| [12]With gaderyng Y schal gadere Jacob; Y schal lede togidere thee al in to oon, the relifs of Israel. Y schal put hym togidere, as a floc in folde; as scheep in the myddil of fooldis thei schulen make noise, of multitude of men. |
[12]I will surelyH622[H8800] assembleH622[H8799], O JacobH3290, all of thee; I will surelyH6908[H8763] gatherH6908[H8762] the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478; I will putH7760[H8799] them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of BozrahH1223[H8677][H1224], as the flockH5739 in the midstH8432 of their foldH1699: they shall make great noiseH1949[H8686] by reason of the multitude of menH120. |
| [13]For he schal stie schewynge weie bifore hem; thei schulen departe, and passe the yate, and schulen go out therbi; and the kyng of hem schal passe bifore hem, and the Lord in the heed of hem. |
[13]The breakerH6555[H8802] is come upH5927[H8804] beforeH6440 them: they have broken upH6555[H8804], and have passed throughH5674[H8799] the gateH8179, and are gone outH3318[H8799] by it: and their kingH4428 shall passH5674[H8799] beforeH6440 them, and the LORDH3068 on the head of themH7218. |
