Then they heard H8085 the sound H6963 of Yahweh H3068 God H430 walking H1980 in the garden H1588 in the [fn]cool H7307 of the day H3117, and the man H120 and his wife H802 hid H2244 themselves from the presence H6440 of Yahweh H3068 God H430 in the midst H8432 of the trees H6086 of the garden H1588.
Then to Adam H121 He said H559, “Because H3588 you have listened H8085 to the voice H6963 of your wife H802 and have eaten H398 from the tree H6086 about which H834 I commanded H6680 you, saying H559, ‘You shall not eat H398 from it';
Cursed H779 is the ground H127 because H5668 of you;
Then he [fn]had H2492 still H5750 another H312 dream H2472 and recounted H5608 it to his brothers H251 and said H559, “Behold H2009, I have [fn]had H2492 still H5750 another dream H2472; and behold H2009, the sun H8121 and the moon H3394 and eleven H259 H6240 stars H3556 were bowing H2331 down H2331 to me.”
Now it happened about three H7969 months H2320 later H4480 that it was told H5046 to Judah H3063 saying H559, “[fn]Your daughter-in-law H3618 Tamar H8559 has played H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181, and behold H2009, she is also H1571 with child H2030 by harlotry H2183.” Then Judah H3063 said H559, “Bring H3318 her out H3318 and let her be burned H8313!”
And the daughter H1323 of Pharaoh H6547 came H3381 down H3381 to bathe H7364 at the Nile H2975, with her young H5291 women H5291 walking H1980 alongside H5921 H3027 the Nile H2975; and she saw H7200 the [fn]ark H8392 among H8432 the reeds H5488 and sent H7971 her maidservant H519, and she took H3947 it to her.
Now it happened H1961 in the course of those H1992 many H7227 days H3117 that the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 died H4191. And the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 sighed H584 because H4480 of the slavery H5656, and they cried H2199 out H2199; and their cry H7775 for H7775 help H7775 because H4480 of their slavery H5656 rose H5927 up H5927 to God H430.
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Stretch H5186 out H5186 your hand H3027 over H5921 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 for the locusts H697, that they may come H5927 up H5927 on the land H776 of Egypt H4714 and eat H398 every H3605 plant H6212 of the land H776, all H3605 that the hail H1259 has left H7604 remaining H7604.”
Then the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 was told H5046 that the people H5971 had fled H1272, and the heart H3824 of Pharaoh H6547 and his servants H5650 was H2015 changed H2015 toward H413 the people H5971, and they said H559, “What H4100 is this H2088 we have done H6213, that we have let H7971 Israel H3478 go H7971 from serving H5647 us?”
but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323, your male H5650 or your female H519 slave H5650 H519 or your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179.
Now it happened H1961 when Moses H4872 was coming H3381 down H3381 from Mount H2022 Sinai H5514 (and the two H8147 tablets H3871 of the testimony H5715 were in Moses' H4872 hand H3027 as he was coming H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022), that Moses H4872 did not know H3045 that the skin H5785 of his face H6440 shone H7160 because of his speaking H1696 with Him.
These H428 are the things H6485 numbered H6485 for the [fn]tabernacle H4908, the [fn]tabernacle H4908 of the testimony H5715, as they were [fn]numbered H6485 according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Moses H4872, for the service H5656 of the Levites H3881, by the hand H3027 of Ithamar H385 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548.
‘But if H518 [fn]he cannot H3808 afford H5060 H3027 a lamb H7716, then he shall bring H935 to Yahweh H3068 his guilt H817 offering H817 for that in which H834 he has sinned H2398, two H8147 turtledoves H8449 or H176 two H8147 young H1121 pigeons H3123, one H259 for a sin H2403 offering H2403 and the other H259 for a burnt H5930 offering H5930.
‘But if H518 his [fn]means H3027 are H5381 insufficient H3808 H5381 for two H8147 turtledoves H8449 or H176 two H8147 young H1121 pigeons H3123, then for his offering H7133 for that which H834 he has sinned H2398, he shall bring H935 the tenth H6224 of an [fn]ephah H374 of fine H5560 flour H5560 for a sin H2403 offering H2403; he shall not place H7760 oil H8081 on it or put H5414 frankincense H3828 on it, for it is a sin H2403 offering H2403.
“But if H518 he is poor H1800 and his [fn]means H3027 are H369 insufficient H369 H5381, then he is to take H3947 one H259 male H3532 lamb H3532 for a guilt H817 offering H817 as a wave H8573 offering H8573 to make H3722 atonement H3722 for him, and one-tenth H6241 of an [fn]ephah of fine H5560 flour H5560 mixed H1101 with oil H8081 for a grain offering H4503, and a [fn]log H3849 of oil H8081,
“If H518, on the other hand, the priest H3548 comes H935 in H935 and looks H7200 again, and the mark H5061 has not indeed H2009 spread H6581 in the house H1004 after H310 the house H1004 has been replastered H2902, then the priest H3548 shall pronounce H2891 the house H1004 clean H2891 because H3588 the mark H5061 has [fn]not H7495 reappeared H7495.
“For as for the [fn]life H5315 of all H3605 flesh H1320, its blood H1818 is identified with its [fn]life H5315. Therefore I said H559 to the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, ‘You are not to eat H398 the blood H1818 of any H3605 flesh H1320, for the [fn]life H5315 of all H3605 flesh H1320 is its blood H1818; whoever H3605 eats H398 it shall be cut H3772 off H3772.'
‘Likewise, if H3588 a man H376 sells H4376 a house H1004 for habitation H4186 in a walled H2346 city H5892, then his redemption H1353 right H1353 remains H1961 valid until H5704 a full H8552 year H8141 from its sale H4465; his right H1353 of H1353 redemption H1353 lasts H1961 a full H3117 year H3117.
‘Now if H3588 the [fn]means H3027 of a sojourner H1616 or of a foreign H8453 resident H8453 with you becomes H5381 sufficient H5381, and a brother H251 of yours becomes H4134 so poor H4134 with H5973 regard H5973 to H5973 him as to sell H4376 himself to a sojourner H1616 who resides H8453 with you or H176 to the descendants H6133 of a sojourner's H1616 family H4940,
‘Again, if H518 a man H376 sets H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 to Yahweh H3068 a portion of the fields H7704 of his own possession H272, then your valuation H6187 shall be [fn]proportionate H6310 to the seed H2233 needed for it: a [fn]homer H2563 of barley H8184 seed H2233 at [fn]fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver H3701.
“And the assignment H6486 of Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 the priest H3548 is the oil H8081 for the light H3974 and the fragrant H5561 incense H7004 and the continual H8548 grain offering H4503 and the anointing H4888 oil H8081—the assignment H6486 of all H3605 the [fn]tabernacle H4908 and of all H3605 that is in it, with the sanctuary H6944 and its furnishings H3627.”
“This H2088 is the law H8451 of the Nazirite H5139 who H834 vows H5087 his offering H7133 to Yahweh H3068 according H5921 to his Nazirite H5145 vow, in H4480 H905 addition H4480 H905 to H4480 H905 what H834 else [fn]he can afford H5381; according to his vow H5087 which H834 he takes H5087, so H3651 he shall do H6213 according H5921 to the law H8451 of his Nazirite H5145 vow.”
Now it happened on the next H4283 day H4283 Moses H4872 went H935 into the tent H168 of the testimony H5715; and behold H2009, the rod H4294 of Aaron H175 for the house H1004 of Levi H3878 had sprouted H6524 and put H3318 forth H3318 buds H6525 and produced H6692 flowers H6692, and it bore H1580 ripe H1580 almonds H8247.
‘But the man H376 who H834 is H2930 unclean H2930 and does not purify H2398 himself from uncleanness H2398, that person H5315 shall be cut H3772 off H3772 from the midst H8432 of the assembly H6951 because H3588 he has [fn]made H2930 the sanctuary H4720 of Yahweh H3068 unclean H2930; the water H4325 for impurity H5079 has not been [fn]splashed H2236 on him; he is unclean H2931.
but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323 or your male H5650 slave H5650 or your female H519 slave H519 or your ox H7794 or your donkey H2543 or any H3605 of your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179, so H4616 that your male H5650 slave H5650 and your female H519 slave H519 may rest H5117 as well as you.
“If H3588 your brother H251, your mother's H517 son H1121, or H176 your son H1121 or H176 daughter H1323, or H176 the wife H802 [fn]you cherish H2436, or H176 your friend H7453 who H834 is as your own soul H5315, entices H5496 you secretly H5643, saying H559, ‘Let us go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430' (whom H834 neither H3808 you nor H3808 your fathers H1 have known H3045,
“Now this H2088 shall be the legal judgment H4941 for the priests H3548 taken from the people H5971, from those who offer H2076 a sacrifice H2077, either H518 an ox H7794 or H518 a sheep H7716: they shall give H5414 to the priest H3548 the shoulder H2220 and the two H3895 cheeks H3895 and the stomach H6896.
“If H3588 you happen H7122 to H7122 come H7122 upon H7122 a bird's H6833 nest H7064 along the way H1870, in any H3605 tree H6086 or H176 on the ground H776, with young H667 ones H667 or H176 eggs H1000, and the mother H517 sitting H7257 on the young H667 or H176 on the eggs H1000, you shall not take H3947 the mother H517 with the young H1121;
“If H3588 brothers H251 live H3427 together H3162 and one H259 of them dies H4191 and has H369 no H369 son H1121, then the wife H802 of the one H4191 who H4191 died H4191 shall not be married outside H2351 the family to a strange H2114 man H376. Her husband's H2993 brother H2993 shall go H935 in H935 to her and take H3947 her to himself as wife H802 and perform H2992 the duty H2992 of H2992 a H2992 husband's H2992 brother H2992 to her.
“And the generation H1755 to come H314, your sons H1121 who H834 rise H6965 up H6965 after H4480 H310 you and the foreigner H5237 who H834 comes H935 from a distant H7350 land H776, shall see H7200 the plagues H4347 of the land H776 and the diseases H8463 with which H834 Yahweh H3068 has [fn]afflicted H2470 it, and they will say H559,
“So it will be, when H3588 all H3605 of these H428 things H1697 have come H935 upon you, the blessing H1293 and the curse H7045 which H834 I have set H5414 before H6440 you, and you cause these things to return H7725 to your heart H3824 in all H3605 the nations H1471 where H834 H8033 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 has banished H5080 you,
“Blessed H835 are you, O Israel H3478;
Who H4310 is like H3644 you, a people H5971 saved H3467 by Yahweh H3068,
Who is the shield H4043 of your help H5828
And the sword H2719 of your majesty H1346!
So your enemies H340 will cower H3584 before you,
And you will tread H1869 upon their high H1116 places H1116.”
Now it happened H1961 when Joshua H3091 was by Jericho H3405, that he lifted H5375 up H5375 his eyes H5869 and looked H7200, and behold H2009, a man H376 was standing H5975 opposite H5048 him with his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027, and Joshua H3091 went H1980 to him and said H559 to him, “Are you for us or H518 for our adversaries H6862?”
So the sun H8121 stood H1826 still H1826, and the moon H3394 stopped H5975,
Until H5704 the nation H1471 avenged H5358 themselves of their enemies H340.
Is it not written H3789 in the book H5612 of Jashar H3477? And the sun H8121 stood H5975 in the middle H2677 of the sky H8064 and did not hasten H213 to go H935 down for about H935 a whole H8549 day H3117.
Now Zebah H2078 and Zalmunna H6759 were in Karkor H7174, and their camps H4264 with them, about 15,000 H2568 H6240 H505 men, all H3605 who were left H3498 of the entire H3605 camp H4264 of the sons H1121 of the east H6924; for the fallen H5307 were 120,000 H3967 H6242 H505 men H376 who drew H8025 the sword H2719.
Then Jephthah H3316 came H935 to his house H1004 at Mizpah H4709. And behold H2009, his daughter H1323 was coming H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 him with tambourines H8596 and with dancing H4246. Now she was his one H7534 and only H3173 child H3173; besides H4480 her he had H369 no H369 son H1121 or H176 daughter H1323.
So it happened H1961 when their hearts H3820 were merry H2895, that they said H559, “Call H7121 for Samson H8123, that he may amuse H7832 us.” So they called H7121 for Samson H8123 from the prison H1004 H631, and he [fn]entertained H6711 H6440 them. And they made him stand H5975 between H996 the pillars H5982.
In those H1992 days H3117 there H369 was H369 no H369 king H4428 of Israel H3478; and in those H1992 days H3117 the tribe H7626 of the Danites H1839 was seeking H1245 an inheritance H5159 for themselves to live H3427 in, for until H5704 that day H3117 the land among H8432 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 had not fallen H5307 to them as an inheritance H5159.
Then her master H113 arose H6965 in the morning H1242 and opened H6605 the doors H1817 of the house H1004 and went H3318 out H3318 to go H1980 on his way H1870, and behold H2009, the woman H802, his concubine H6370, was lying H5307 at the doorway H6607 of the house H1004 with her hands H3027 on the threshold H5592.
Now his daughter-in-law H3618, Phinehas's H6372 wife H802, was with child H2030 and about to give H3205 birth H3205. And she heard H8085 the report H8052 that the ark H727 of God H430 was taken H3947 and that her father-in-law H2524 and her husband H376 had died H4191, so she kneeled H3766 down H3766 and gave H3205 birth H3205, for her pains H6735 came H2015 upon her.
Now the Philistines H6430 assembled H622 to fight H3898 with Israel H3478, 30,000 H7970 H505 chariots H7393 and 6,000 H8337 H505 horsemen H6571 and people H5971 like the sand H2344 which H834 is on the seashore H3220 H8193 in abundance H7230; and they came H5927 up H5927 and camped H2583 in Michmash H4363, east H6926 of Beth-aven H1007.
Then Saul H7586 said H559, “Let us go H3381 down H3381 after H310 the Philistines H6430 by night H3915 and take H962 spoil H962 among them until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216, and let us not leave H7604 a man H376 of them.” And they said H559, “Do H6213 whatever H3605 seems good H2896 in your eyes H5869.” So the priest H3548 said H559, “Let us draw H7126 near H7126 to God H430 here H1988.”
Then Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David's H1732 house H1004 to keep H8104 watch H8104 over him, in order to put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191 in the morning H1242. But Michal H4324, David's H1732 wife H802, told H5046 him, saying H559, “If H518 you do not make H4422 an escape H4422 for your life H5315 tonight H3915, tomorrow H4279 you will be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191.”
“So now H6258, my lord H113, as Yahweh H3068 lives H2416 and as your soul H5315 lives H2416, since H834 Yahweh H3068 has restrained H4513 you from [fn]shedding H935 blood H1818, and from saving H3467 yourself by your own hand H3027, so now H6258, let your enemies H340 and those who seek H1245 evil H7451 against H413 my lord H113, be as Nabal H5037.
Then Abigail H26 came H935 to Nabal H5037, and behold H2009, he was holding a feast H4960 in his house H1004, like the feast H4960 of a king H4428. And Nabal's H5037 heart H3820 was merry H2895 within H5921 him, for he was very H5704 H3966 drunk H7910; so she did not tell H5046 him anything H1697 small H6996 or great H1419 until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216.
Now David H1732 and his men H376 went H5927 up H5927 and raided H6584 the Geshurites H1651 and the Girzites H1630 and the Amalekites H6003; for they were the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 from ancient H5769 times H5769, as you come H935 to Shur H7793 even as far H5704 as the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
Then Achish H397 called H7121 David H1732 and said H559 to him, “As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, you have been upright H3477, and your going H3318 out H3318 and your coming H935 in with me in the camp H4264 are pleasing H2896 in my sight H5869; for I have not found H4672 evil H7451 in you from the day H3117 of your coming H935 to me to this H2088 day H3117. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing H2896 in the sight H5869 of the lords H5633.
Now Jonathan H3083, Saul's H7586 son H1121, had a son H1121 crippled H5223 in his feet H7272. He was five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when the report H8052 of Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 came H935 from Jezreel H3157, and his nurse H539 took H5375 him up H5375 and fled H5127. And it happened H1961 that in her hurry H2648 to flee H5127, he fell H5307 and became H6452 lame H6452. And his name H8034 was [fn]Mephibosheth H4648.
Then it happened H1961 as the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068 came H935 into the city H5892 of David H1732, that Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 looked H8259 out H8259 of the window H2474 and saw H7200 King H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 Yahweh H3068; and she despised H959 him in her heart H3820.
But David H1732 returned H7725 to bless H1288 his household H1004, and Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 came H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 David H1732 and said H559, “How H4100 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 has glorified H3513 himself today H3117! He uncovered H1540 himself today H3117 in the eyes H5869 of his servants' H5650 maids H519 as one H259 of the worthless H7386 ones H7386 shamelessly H1540 uncovers H1540 himself!”
Then Absalom H53 commanded H6680 his young H5288 men H5288, saying H559, “See H7200 now H4994, when Amnon's H550 heart H3820 is merry H2895 with wine H3196, and when I say H559 to you, ‘Strike H5221 Amnon H550,' then put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191. Do not fear H3372; have not I myself H595 commanded H6680 you? Be H2388 strong H2388 and be [fn]valiant H1121 H2428.”
Now H834 Ahithophel H302 saw H7200 that his counsel H6098 was not [fn]followed H6213. So he [fn]saddled H2280 his donkey H2543 and arose H6965 and went H1980 to his home H1004, to his city H5892, and [fn]set H6680 his house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, and strangled H2614 himself; thus he died H4191 and was buried H6912 in the grave H6913 of his father H1.
Then Absalom H53 happened to meet H7122 the servants H5650 of David H1732. Now Absalom H53 was riding H7392 on his mule H6505, and the mule H6505 went H935 under H8478 the thick H7730 branches H7730 of a great H1419 oak H424. And his head H7218 caught H2388 fast H2388 in the oak H424, so he was [fn]left H5414 hanging H5414 between H996 heaven H8064 and earth H776, while the mule H6505 that was under H8478 him passed H5674 onward.
Now Rehoboam H7346 the son H1121 of Solomon H8010 became H4427 king H4427 in Judah H3063. Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
Now the rest H3499 of all H3605 the acts H1697 of Asa H609 and all H3605 his might H1369 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and the cities H5892 which H834 he built H1129, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063? But in the time H6256 of his old H2209 age H2209 he was H2470 diseased H2470 in his feet H7272.
So he again H7725 sent H7971 the commander H8269 of a third H7992 fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572. Then the third H7992 commander H8269 of fifty H2572 went H5927 up H5927 and came H935 and bowed H3766 down H3766 on his knees H1290 before H5048 Elijah H452, and he begged H2603 him and said H1696 to him, “O man H376 of God H430, please H4994 let my life H5315 and the lives H5315 of these H428 fifty H2572 servants H5650 of yours be H3365 precious H3365 in your sight H5869.
Then he returned H7725 to the man H376 of God H430 [fn]with all H3605 his camp H4264, and came H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 him, and said H559, “Behold H2009 now H4994, I know H3045 that there H369 is H369 no H369 God H430 in all H3605 the earth H776, but in Israel H3478; so now H6258 please H4994 take H3947 a blessing H1293 from your servant H5650.”
Then he said H559 to him, “Did not my heart H3820 go H1980 with you, when H834 the man H376 turned H2015 from his chariot H4818 to meet H7122 you? Is it a time H6256 to receive H3947 money H3701 and to receive H3947 clothes H899 and olive H2132 groves H2132 and vineyards H3754 and sheep H6629 and oxen H1241 and male H5650 and female H8198 slaves H8198?
Then Elisha H477 said H559, “Listen H8085 to the word H1697 of Yahweh H3068; thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘About this time H6256 tomorrow H4279 a [fn]seah H5429 of fine H5560 flour H5560 will be sold for a [fn]shekel H8255, and two [fn]seahs H5429 of barley H8184 for a [fn]shekel H8255, in the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111.'”
Then they said H559 to one H376 another H7453, “We are not doing H6213 right H3651. This H2088 day H3117 is a day H3117 of good H1309 news H1309, but we are keeping H2814 silent H2814; if we wait H2442 until H5704 morning H1242 light H216, punishment H5771 will [fn]overtake H4672 us. So now H6258, come H1980, let us go H935 and tell H5046 the king's H4428 household H1004.”
Then he went H1980 from there H8033 and found H4672 Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 coming to meet H7122 him; and he [fn]blessed H1288 him and said H559 to him, “Is your heart H3824 right H3477, as my heart H3824 is with your heart H3824?” And Jehonadab H3082 [fn]answered H559, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give H5414 me your hand H3027.” And he gave H5414 him his hand H3027, and he took H5927 him up H5927 to him into the chariot H4818.
Now Jehu H3058 had placed H7760 for himself eighty H8084 men H376 outside H2351, and he had said H559, “The one H376 who H834 permits any of H4480 the men H376 whom H834 I cause to come H935 into your hands H3027 to escape H4422, [fn]shall give up his life H5315 in exchange H8478.”
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Hezekiah H2396 and all H3605 his might H1369, and how H834 he made H6213 the pool H1295 and the conduit H8585 and brought H935 water H4325 into the city H5892, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063?
Now in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign H4427, on the tenth H6218 day of the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H935, he and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428, against H5921 Jerusalem H3389, and he camped H2583 against H5921 it and built H1129 a siege H1785 wall H1785 all H5439 around H5439 [fn]it.
Then Jabez H3258 called H7121 on the God H430 of Israel H3478, saying H559, “Oh H518 that H518 You would bless H1288 me indeed H1288 and enlarge H7235 my border H1366, and that Your hand H3027 might be with me, and that You would keep H6213 me from harm H7451 that it may not pain H6087 me!” And God H430 brought H935 about H935 what H834 he asked H7592.
These H428 were their assignments H6486 for their service H5656 when they came H935 in H935 to the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 according to the legal judgment H4941 rendered to them by the hand H3027 of Aaron H175 their father H1, just H834 as Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, had commanded H6680 him.
Then King H4428 David H1732 said H559 to the entire H3605 assembly H6951, “My son H1121 Solomon H8010, whom alone H259 God H430 has chosen H977, is still young H5288 and inexperienced H7390 and the work H4399 is great H1419; for the [fn]temple H1002 is not for man H120, but for Yahweh H3068 God H430.
Then David H1732 said H559 to all H3605 the assembly H6951, “Now H4994 bless H1288 Yahweh H3068 your God H430.” And all H3605 the assembly H6951 blessed H1288 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of their fathers H1, and bowed H6915 low H6915 and prostrated H2331 themselves to Yahweh H3068 and to the king H4428.
Thus all H3605 the work H4399 that Solomon H8010 did H6213 for the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 was finished H7999. And Solomon H8010 brought H935 in H935 the [fn]things set H6944 apart H6944 as H6944 holy H6944 by his father H1 David H1732, even the silver H3701 and the gold H2091 and all H3605 the utensils H3627, and he put H5414 them in the treasuries H214 of the house H1004 of God H430.
“So now H6258, arise H6965, O Yahweh H3068 God H430, to Your resting H5117 place H5117, You and the ark H727 of Your strength H5797; let Your priests H3548, O Yahweh H3068 God H430, be clothed H3847 with salvation H8668 and let Your holy H2623 ones H2623 be glad H8055 in what H2896 is H2896 good H2896.
Then Solomon H8010 brought H5927 Pharaoh's H6547 daughter H1323 up H5927 from the city H5892 of David H1732 to the house H1004 which H834 he had built H1129 for her, for he said H559, “My wife H802 shall not live H3427 in the house H1004 of David H1732 king H4428 of Israel H3478, because H3588 [fn]the places H1992 are holy H6944 where H834 the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068 has entered H935.”
So King H4428 Rehoboam H7346 strengthened H2388 himself in Jerusalem H3389 and reigned H4427. Now H3588 Rehoboam H7346 was forty-one H705 H259 years H8141 old H1121 when he became H4427 king H4427, and he reigned H4427 seventeen H7651 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389, the city H5892 which H834 Yahweh H3068 had chosen H977 from all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to put H7760 His name H8034 there H8033. And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Naamah H5279 the Ammonitess H5985.
But when he became H2393 strong H2393, his heart H3820 was H1361 so [fn]proud H1361 that he acted H7843 corruptly H7843, and he was H4603 unfaithful H4603 to Yahweh H3068 his God H430. And he entered H935 the temple H1964 of Yahweh H3068 to burn H6999 incense H6999 on the altar H4196 of incense H7004.
Then Hezekiah H2396 answered H6030 and said H559, “Now H6258 that you have [fn]become ordained H4390 H3027 to Yahweh H3068, approach H5066 and bring H935 sacrifices H2077 and thank H8426 offerings H8426 to the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068.” And the assembly H6951 brought H935 sacrifices H2077 and thank H8426 offerings H8426, and all H3605 those who were willing H5081 of heart H3820 brought burnt H5930 offerings H5930.
After H310 this H2088 Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 his servants H5650 to Jerusalem H3389 while he was [fn]besieging H5921 Lachish H3923 with all H3605 his forces H4475 with him, against H5921 Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and against H5921 all H3605 Judah H3063 who H834 were at Jerusalem H3389, saying H559,
Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Manasseh H4519, even his prayer H8605 to his God H430, and the words H1697 of the seers H2374 who spoke H1696 to him in the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, behold H2009, they are among H5921 the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478.
that H1768 a search H1240 be made H5648 in the record H1799 books H5609 of your fathers H2. And you will find H7912 in the record H1799 books H5609 and come to know H3046 that that city H7149 is a rebellious H4779 city H7149 and damaging H5142 to kings H4430 and provinces H4083, and that they have incited H5648 revolt H849 within H1459 it in past H5957 days H3118; therefore H5922 H1836 that city H7149 was laid H2718 waste H2718.
“So a decree H2942 has been [fn]issued H7761 by me, and a search H1240 has been made H1240 and it has been found H7912 that that city H7149 has lifted H5376 itself H5376 up H5376 against H5922 the kings H4430 in past H5957 days H3118, that rebellion H4776 and revolt H849 have been perpetrated H5648 in it,
“And you, Ezra H5831, according to the wisdom H2452 of your God H426 which H1768 is in your hand H3028, appoint H4483 magistrates H8200 and judges H1782 that they may judge H1934 H1778 all H3606 the people H5972 who H1768 are in the province beyond H5675 the River H5103, even all H3606 those who know H3046 the laws H1882 of your God H426; and to anyone H1768 who H1768 does H3046 not H3809 know H3046 the laws, you shall make H3046 them known H3046.
Then Nehemiah H5166, who H1931 was the [fn]governor H8660, and Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 and scribe H5608, and the Levites H3881, who provided H995 the people H5971 with understanding H995, said H559 to all H3605 the people H5971, “This H1931 day H3117 is holy H6918 to Yahweh H3068 your God H430; do not mourn H56 or weep H1058.” For all H3605 the people H5971 were weeping H1058 when they heard H8085 the words H1697 of the law H8451.
“Then You performed H5414 signs H226 and wonders H4159 against Pharaoh H6547,
Against all H3605 his servants H5650 and all H3605 the people H5971 of his land H776;
For You knew H3045 that they acted H2102 presumptuously H2102 toward H5921 them,
And made H6213 a name H8034 for Yourself as it is this H2088 day H3117.
Now it happened H1961 on the third H7992 day H3117, that Esther H635 put H3847 on H3847 her royal H4438 robes H3847 and stood H5975 in the inner H6442 court H2691 of the king's H4428 house H1004 in front H5227 of the king's H4428 [fn]rooms H1004, and the king H4428 was sitting H3427 on his royal H4438 throne H3678 in the [fn]throne H4438 room H1004, opposite H5227 the entrance H6607 to his house H1004.
For the choir director. [fn]Al-tashheth. Of David. A [fn]Mikhtam. [fn]When he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O God H430, be H2603 gracious H2603 to me,
For my soul H5315 takes H2620 refuge H2620 in You;
And in the shadow H6738 of Your wings H3671 I will take H2620 refuge H2620
Be glad H8055, young H970 man H970, during your childhood H3208, and let your heart H3820 be H3190 merry H3190 during the days H3117 of young H979 manhood H979. And walk H1980 in the ways H1870 of your heart H3820 and in the sights H4758 of your eyes H5869. Yet know H3045 that God H430 will bring H935 you to judgment H4941 for all H3605 these H428 things H428.
“[fn]Who H4310 is this H2088 coming H5927 up H5927 from the wilderness H4057
Leaning H7514 on her beloved H1730?”
“[fn]Beneath H8478 the [fn]apple H8598 tree H8598 I awakened H5782 you;
There H8033 your mother H517 was in H2254 labor H2254 with you;
There H8033 she was in H2254 labor H2254 and gave H3205 you birth H3205.
Therefore H3651, as a tongue H3956 of fire H784 consumes H398 stubble H7179
And dry H2842 grass H2842 collapses H7503 into the flame H3852,
So their root H8328 will become H1961 like rot H4716 and their blossom H6525 [fn]blow H5927 away H5927 as dust H80;
For they have rejected H3988 the law H8451 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
And the word H565 of the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 they have spurned H5006.
On this H3651 account H3651, the anger H639 of Yahweh H3068 has burned H2734 against His people H5971,
And He has stretched H5186 out H5186 His hand H3027 against H5921 them and struck H5221 them down H5221.
And the mountains H2022 trembled H7264, and their corpses H5038 [fn]lay H1961 like refuse H5478 in the middle H7130 of the streets H2351.
For all H3605 this H2088 His anger H639 is H7725 not turned H7725 back H7725,
But His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
[fn]But there will be no H3808 more gloom H4155 for her who H834 was in anguish H4164; in earlier H7223 times H6256 He treated H7043 the land H776 of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 with H7043 contempt H7043, but later H314 on He shall make H3513 it glorious H3513, by the way H1870 of the sea H3220, on the other H5676 side H5676 of Jordan H3383, Galilee H1551 of the [fn]Gentiles H1471.
There H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 end H7093 to the increase H4766 of His government H4951 or of peace H7965,
On the throne H3678 of David H1732 and over H5921 his kingdom H4467,
To establish H3559 it and to uphold H5582 it with justice H4941 and righteousness H6666
From then H6258 on and forevermore H5703 H5769.
The zeal H7068 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 will accomplish H6213 this H2088.
Therefore H5921 H3651 the Lord H136 is not glad H8055 in their choice H970 men H970,
Nor H3808 does He have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 their [fn]orphans H3490 or their widows H490;
For every H3605 one H3605 of them is godless H2611 and an evildoer H7489,
And every H3605 mouth H6310 is speaking H1696 wicked H5039 foolishness H5039.
In spite of all H3605 this H2088, His anger H639 does not turn H7725 back H7725,
And His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
My heart H3820 cries H2199 out H2199 for Moab H4124;
Those who flee H1281 from her are as far H5704 as Zoar H6820 and Eglath-shelishiyah H5700 H7992,
For they go H5927 up H5927 the ascent H4608 of Luhith H3872 weeping H1065;
Surely H3588 on the road H1870 to Horonaim H2773 they keep H5782 awake H5782 with crying H2201 in H2201 distress H2201 over their destruction H7667.
“Let the [fn]banished H5080 of Moab H4124 sojourn H1481 with you;
Be a hiding H5643 place H5643 to them from the destroyer H7703.”
For the extortioner H4160 has come H656 to H656 an H656 end H656, destruction H7701 has ceased H3615,
Oppressors H7429 have completely H8552 disappeared from the land H776.
The [fn]oracle H4853 concerning Egypt H4714.
Behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 is riding H7392 on a swift H7031 cloud H5645 and is about to come H935 to Egypt H4714;
The idols H457 of Egypt H4714 will shake H5128 at His presence H6440,
And the heart H3824 of the Egyptians H4714 will melt H4549 within H7130 them.
The princes H8269 of [fn]Zoan H6814 are merely H389 ignorant H191 fools H191;
The counsel H6098 of Pharaoh's H6547 wisest H2450 counselors H3289 has become H1197 [fn]senseless H1197.
How H349 can you men say H559 to Pharaoh H6547,
“I am a son H1121 of the wise H2450, a son H1121 of the kings H4428 of old H6924”?
Your dead H4191 will live H2421;
[fn]Their corpses H5038 will rise H6965.
You who dwell H7931 in H7931 the dust H6083, awake H6974 and shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442,
For your dew H2919 is as the dew H2919 of the [fn]dawn H219,
And the earth H776 will [fn]give H5307 birth H5307 to the [fn]departed H7496 spirits H7496.
For behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 is about to come H3318 out H3318 from His place H4725
To visit H6485 the iniquity H5771 of the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776;
And the earth H776 will reveal H1540 her bloodshed H1818
And will no H3808 longer H5750 cover H3680 those H2026 of hers who were killed H2026.
Therefore H3651 through this H2088, Jacob's H3290 iniquity H5771 will be atoned H3722 for;
And this H2088 will be the whole H3605 fruit H6529 of the turning H5493 away H5493 of his sin H2403:
When he makes H7760 all H3605 the altar H4196 stones H68 like pulverized H5310 chalk H1615 stones H68,
When [fn]Asherim H842 and incense H2553 altars H2553 will not stand H6965.
Then you will be brought H8213 low H8213;
From the earth H776 you will speak H1696,
And from the dust H6083 where you are prostrate H7817
Your words H565 will come.
Your voice H6963 will also be like that of a [fn]spirit H178 from the ground H776,
And your speech H565 will whisper H6850 from the dust H6083.
And it will be as when H834 a hungry H7457 man H7457 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is eating H398;
But he awakens H6974, and his soul H5315 is empty H7386,
Or as when H834 a thirsty H6771 man H6771 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is drinking H8354,
But he awakens H6974, and behold H2009, he is faint H5889,
And his soul H5315 is not quenched H8264.
Thus H3651 the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 will be
Who wage H6633 war H6633 against H5921 Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
The [fn]oracle H4853 concerning the beasts H929 of the Negev H5045.
Through a land H776 of distress H6869 and anguish H6695,
From [fn]where H1992 come lioness H3833 and lion H3918, viper H660 and flying H5774 fiery H8314 serpent H8314,
They carry H5375 their wealth H2428 on the [fn]backs H3802 of young H5895 donkeys H5895
For a wicked H5036 fool H5036 speaks H1696 wicked H5039 folly H5039,
And his heart H3820 does H6213 wickedness H205:
To do H6213 ungodliness H2612 and to speak H1696 error H8442 against H413 Yahweh H3068,
In order to make H7324 the hungry H7457 person H5315 empty H7324;
He even causes the thirsty H6771 to lack H2637 a drink H4945.
Behold H2372 Zion H6726, the city H7151 of our appointed H4150 times H4150;
Your eyes H5869 will see H7200 Jerusalem H3389, an abode H5116 at H7600 ease H7600,
A tent H168 which will not be folded H6813;
Its stakes H3489 will never H1077 H5331 be pulled H5265 up H5265,
Nor H1077 any H3605 of its cords H2256 ever H1077 be torn H5423 apart H5423.
The sword H2719 of Yahweh H3068 is filled H4390 with blood H1818;
It is [fn]sated H1878 with fat H2459, with the blood H1818 of lambs H3733 and goats H6260,
With the fat H2459 of the kidneys H3629 of rams H352.
For Yahweh H3068 has a sacrifice H2077 in Bozrah H1224
And a great H1419 slaughter H2874 in the land H776 of Edom H123.
“Because H3282 of your raging H7264 against H413 Me
And because your [fn]presumptuousness H7600 has come H5927 up H5927 to My ears H241,
Therefore I will put H7760 My hook H2397 in your nose H639
And My bridle H4964 in your lips H8193,
And I will turn H7725 you back H7725 by the way H1870 which H834 you came H935.
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 have they been planted H5193;
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 have they been sown H2232;
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 has their stem H1503 taken H8327 root H8327 in the earth H776,
But He merely H1571 blows H5398 on them, and they [fn]wither H3001,
And the storm H5591 carries H5375 them away like stubble H7179.
But this H1931 is a people H5971 plundered H962 and pillaged as spoil H8154;
All H3605 of them are trapped H6351 in [fn]caves H2352,
Or are hidden H2244 away in prisons H3608;
They have become H1961 a plunder H957 with none H369 to deliver H5337 them,
And a spoil H4933, with none H369 to say H559, “Have H7725 them return H7725!”
“Why H4069 was H369 there H369 no H369 man H376 when I came H935?
When I called H7121, why was H369 there H369 none H369 to answer H6030?
Is My hand H3027 so H4480 short H7114 that H4480 it cannot H4480 ransom H6304?
Or H518 have H369 I no H369 power H3581 to deliver H5337?
Behold H2005, I dry H2717 up H2717 the sea H3220 with My rebuke H1606;
I make H7760 the rivers H5104 a wilderness H4057;
“Lift H5375 up H5375 your eyes H5869 to the sky H8064,
Then look H5027 to the earth H776 beneath H4480 H8478;
For the sky H8064 will vanish H4414 like smoke H6227,
And the earth H776 will wear H1086 out H1086 like a garment H899,
And its inhabitants H3427 will die H4191 [fn]in like H3644 manner H3651;
But [fn]Yahweh H3068 was pleased H2654
To crush H1792 Him, [fn]putting H2470 Him to grief H2470;
If H518 You would place H7760 His soul H5315 as a guilt H817 offering H817,
He will see H7200 His seed H2233,
He will prolong H748 His days H3117,
And the [fn]good H2656 pleasure H2656 of Yahweh H3068 will succeed H6743 in His hand H3027.
Therefore H3651, I will divide H2505 for Him a H2505 portion H2505 with the many H7227,
And He will divide H2505 the spoil H7998 with the strong H6099;
Because H8478 H834 He poured H6168 out H6168 His soul H5315 to death H4194,
And was numbered H4487 with the transgressors H6586;
Yet He Himself H1931 [fn]bore H5375 the sin H2399 of many H7227,
“Shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442, O barren H6135 woman H6135, who has not H3808 given H3205 birth H3205;
Break H6476 forth H6476 into joyful H7440 shouting H7440 and cry H6670 aloud H6670, you who have not been in [fn]labor H2342;
For more H4480 numerous H7227 are the sons H1121 of the desolate H8074 one
Than H4480 the sons H1121 of the married H1166 woman,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“As for Me, this H2088 is My covenant H1285 with them,” says H559 Yahweh H3068: “My Spirit H7307 which H834 is upon you, and My words H1697 which H834 I have put H7760 in your mouth H6310, shall not depart H4185 from your mouth H6310, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your seed H2233, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your seed's H2233 seed H2233,” says H559 Yahweh H3068, “from now H6258 and forever H5704 H5769.”
I will rejoice H7797 greatly H7797 in Yahweh H3068;
My soul H5315 will rejoice H1523 in my God H430,
For He has clothed H3847 me with garments H899 of salvation H3468,
He has wrapped H5844 me with a robe H4598 of righteousness H6666,
As a bridegroom H2860 decks H3547 himself with a headdress H6287,
And as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels H3627.
It will no H3808 longer H5750 be said H559 to you, “[fn]Forsaken H5800,”
Nor H3808 to your land H776 will it any H5750 longer H5750 be said H559, “[fn]Desolate H8077”;
But you will be called H7121, “[fn]My delight H2656 is in her,”
And your land H776, “[fn]Married H1166”;
“For My hand H3027 made H6213 all H3605 these H428 things H428,
Thus all H3605 these H428 things H428 came H1961 into being H1961,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“But to this H2088 one H2088 I will look H5027,
To him who is humble H6041 and contrite H5223 of spirit H7307, and who H2730 trembles H2730 at My word H1697.
“But he who slaughters H7819 an ox H7794 is the one who strikes H5221 down H5221 a man H376;
He who sacrifices H2076 a lamb H7716 is the one who breaks H6202 a dog's H3611 neck H6202;
He who offers H5927 a grain offering H4503 is the one who offers swine's H2386 blood H1818;
He who offers H2142 a memorial H2142 offering H2142 of frankincense H3828 is the one who blesses H1288 wickedness H205.
As they have chosen H977 their own ways H1870,
And their soul H5315 takes H2654 pleasure H2654 in their detestable H8251 things H8251,
“Your own evil H7451 will chastise H3256 you,
And your acts H4878 of faithlessness H4878 will reprove H3198 you;
Know H3045 therefore and see H7200 that it is evil H7451 and bitter H4751
For you to forsake H5800 Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
And the dread H6345 of Me is not in you,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635.
God [fn]says H559, “If H2005 a husband H376 divorces H7971 his wife H802
And she goes H1980 from him
And belongs H1961 to another H312 man H376,
Will he still H5750 return H7725 to her?
Will not that land H776 be completely H2610 [fn]polluted H2610?
But you are a harlot H2181 with many H7227 [fn]lovers H7453;
Then Yahweh H3068 said H559 to me in the days H3117 of Josiah H2977 the king H4428, “Have you seen H7200 what H834 faithless H4878 Israel H3478 did H6213? She went H1980 up on every H3605 high H1364 hill H2022 and under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree H6086, and she was a harlot H2181 there H8033.
‘[fn]Return H7725, faithless H4878 Israel H3478,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068;
‘I will not [fn]look H5307 upon you in H5307 anger H5307.
For I am One H2623 of H2623 lovingkindness H2623,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068;
For I heard H8085 a sound H6963 as of a woman in H2342 labor H2342 pains H2342,
The distress H6869 as of one H1069 giving H1069 birth H1069 to H1069 her H1069 first H1069 child H1069,
The sound H6963 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 gasping H3306 for H3306 breath H3306,
Stretching H6566 out H6566 her [fn]hands H3709, saying,
“Ah H4994, woe H188 is me, for my soul faints H5888 before murderers H2026.”
Who H4310 is the wise H2450 man H376 that may understand H995 this H2088? And who is he to whom H834 the mouth H6310 of Yahweh H3068 has spoken H1696, that he may declare H5046 it? Why H5921 H4100 has the land H776 perished H6, turned H5327 into ruin H5327 like a desert H4057, so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H1097 passes H5674 through H5674?
How H4970 long H5704 H4970 is the land H776 to mourn H56
And the plants H6212 of every H3605 field H7704 to dry H3001 up H3001?
Because of the evil H7451 of those who inhabit H3427 it,
Animals H929 and birds H5775 have been swept H5595 away H5595,
Because H3588 men have said H559, “He will not see H7200 our latter H319 ending H319.”
“As for your adulteries H5004 and your lustful neighings H4684,
The lewdness H2154 of your prostitution H2184
On the hills H1389 in the field H7704,
I have seen H7200 your detestable H8251 things H8251.
Woe H188 to you, O Jerusalem H3389!
How H4970 long H310 H4970 H5750 will you not H3808 cleanse H2891 yourself?”
Have You completely H3988 rejected H3988 Judah H3063?
Or H518 [fn]have You loathed H1602 Zion H6726?
Why H4069 have You stricken H5221 us so that there H369 is H369 no H369 healing H4832 for us?
We hoped H6960 for peace H7965, but there H369 was H369 no H369 good H2896;
And for a time H6256 of healing H4832, but behold H2009, terror H1205!
“She who bore H3205 seven H7651 sons languishes H535;
[fn]Her breathing H5315 is H5301 labored H5301.
Her sun H8121 has set H935 while it was yet H5750 day H3119;
She has been shamed H954 and humiliated H2659.
So I will give H5414 over their survivors H7611 to the sword H2719
Before H6440 their enemies H340,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“Now when H3588 you tell H5046 this H2088 people H5971 all H3605 these H428 words H1697, they will say H559 to you, ‘For H5921 what H4100 reason H5921 H4100 has Yahweh H3068 declared H1696 all H3605 this H2088 great H1419 calamity H7451 against H5921 us? And what H4100 is our iniquity H5771, or what H4100 is our sin H2403 which H834 we have committed H2398 against Yahweh H3068 our God H430?'
“Render H1777 justice H4941 [fn]every morning H1242;
And deliver H5337 the person who has been robbed H1497 from the [fn]power H3027 of his oppressor H6231,
Lest H6435 My wrath H2534 go H3318 forth H3318 like fire H784
“Therefore H3651 their way H1870 will be like slippery H2519 paths H2519 to them;
They will be driven H1760 away H1760 into the thick H653 darkness H653 and fall H5307 down H5307 in it;
For I will bring H935 their evil H7451 upon them,
The year H8141 of their [fn]punishment H6486,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“And it will be, that the nation H1471 or the kingdom H4467 which H834 will not serve H5647 him, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894, and which H834 will not put H5414 its neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, I will punish H6485 that nation H1471 with the sword H2719, with famine H7458, and with pestilence H1698,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “until H5704 I have brought H8552 [fn]it to H8552 an end H8552 by his hand H3027.
“They will come H935 and sing H7442 for H7442 joy H7442 on the height H4791 of Zion H6726,
And they will be radiant H5102 over H413 the goodness H2898 of Yahweh H3068—
Over H5921 the grain H1715 and the new H8492 wine H8492 and the oil H3323,
And over H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and the herd H1241;
And their soul H5315 will be like a watered H7302 garden H1588,
And they will never H3808 H5750 waste H1669 away H1669 again H3254.
The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from Yahweh H3068, when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428, with all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 that were under his [fn]dominion H4475 and all H3605 the peoples H5971, were fighting H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389 and against H5921 all H3605 its cities H5892, saying H559,
Then Jeremiah H3414 said H559 to Zedekiah H6667, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 God H430 of hosts H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478, ‘If H518 you will indeed H3318 go H3318 out H3318 to the [fn]officers H8269 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, then [fn]you will live H2421, this H2088 city H5892 will not be burned H8313 with fire H784, and you and your household H1004 will live H2421.
‘And they will also bring H3318 out H3318 all H3605 your wives H802 and your sons H1121 to the Chaldeans H3778, and you yourself H859 will not escape H4422 from their hand H3027, but will be seized H8610 by the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894, and this H2088 city H5892 will be burned H8313 with fire H784.'”
[fn]Now when H834 Jerusalem H3389 was captured H3920 [fn]in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063, in the tenth H6224 month H2320, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 and all H3605 his military H2428 force H2428 came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 and laid H6696 siege H6696 to it;
Indeed, that day H3117 belongs to Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635,
A day H3117 of vengeance H5360, so as to avenge H5358 Himself on His adversaries H6862;
And the sword H2719 will devour H398 and be H7646 satiated H7646
And [fn]drink H7301 its fill H7301 of their blood H1818;
For there will be a sacrifice H2077 to Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635
In the land H776 of the north H6828 by the river H5104 Euphrates H6578.
“As for the terror H8606 of you,
The arrogance H2087 of your heart H3820 has deceived H5378 you,
O you who dwell H7931 in the clefts H2288 of [fn]the rock H5553,
Who seize H8610 the height H4791 of the hill H1389.
Though H3588 you make H1361 your nest H7064 as high H1361 as an eagle's H5404,
I will bring H3381 you down H3381 from there H8033,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“Declare H5046 and make it heard H8085 among the nations H1471.
Make it heard H8085 and lift H5375 up H5375 a standard H5251.
Do not conceal H3582 it but say H559,
‘Babylon H894 has been captured H3920;
Bel H1078 has been put H954 to H954 shame H954; [fn]Marduk H4781 has been H2865 [fn]shattered H2865;
Her images H6091 have been put H954 to H954 shame H954; her idols H1544 have been H2865 shattered H2865.'
Sharpen H1305 the arrows H2671, fill H4390 the quivers H7982!
Yahweh H3068 has aroused H5782 the spirit H7307 of the kings H4428 of the Medes H4074
Because H3588 His purpose H4209 is against H5921 Babylon H894 to destroy H7843 it;
For it is the vengeance H5360 of Yahweh H3068, vengeance H5360 for His temple H1964.
Nun
“The yoke H5923 of my transgressions H6588 is bound H8244;
By His hand H3027 they are knit H8276 together H8276.
They have come H5927 upon my neck H6677;
He has made my strength H3581 stumble H3782.
The Lord H136 has given H5414 me into the hands H3027
Of those against whom I am H3201 not able H3201 to stand H6965.
Kaph
My eyes H5869 fail H3615 because of tears H1832;
My [fn]inmost being H4578 is greatly H2560 disturbed H2560;
My [fn]heart H3516 is poured H8210 out H8210 on the earth H776
Because H5921 of the [fn]destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971,
When infants H5768 and nursing H3243 babies H3243 faint H5848
Then the glory H3519 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 went H5927 up H5927 from the cherub H3742 on which H834 it had been H1961, to the threshold H4670 of the house H1004 of Yahweh. And He called H7121 to the man H376 clothed H3847 in linen H906 at whose H834 loins H4975 was the [fn]scribe's H5608 case H7083.
Then He said H559 to me, “The iniquity H5771 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 is very H3966, very H3966 great H1419, and the land H776 is filled H4390 with bloodshed H1818, and the city H5892 is full H4390 of perversion H4297; for they say H559, ‘Yahweh H3068 has forsaken H5800 the land H776, and Yahweh H3068 does not see H7200!'
“But there was [fn]another H259 great H1419 eagle H5404 with great H1419 wings H3671 and much H7227 plumage H5133; and behold H2009, this H2088 vine H1612 bent H3719 its roots H8328 toward H5921 him and sent H7971 out H7971 its foliage H1808 toward him from the beds H6170 where H4302 it was planted H4302, that he might water H8248 it.
“You therefore, son H1121 of man H120, prophesy H5012 and strike H5221 your hands H3709 together H413 H3709; and let the sword H2719 be doubled H3717 the third H7992 time H7992, the sword H2719 for the slain H2491. It is the sword H2719 for the great H1419 one H1419 slain H2491, which surrounds H2314 them,
‘How H349 you have perished H6, O inhabited H3427 one,
From the seas H3220, O city H5892 that was praised H1984,
Which H834 was strong H2389 on the sea H3220,
She and her inhabitants H3427,
“Your wealth H1952, your wares H5801, your merchandise H4627,
Your sailors H4419 and your pilots H2259,
Your repairers H2388 of seams H919, your dealers H6148 in merchandise H4627,
And all H3605 your men H376 of war H4421 who H834 are in you,
With all H3605 your assembly H6951 that is in your midst H8432,
“Because H3282 your heart H3820 is H1361 lofty H1361
And you have said H559, ‘I am a god H410;
I sit H3427 enthroned in the seat H4186 of [fn]gods H430
In the heart H3820 of the seas H3220';
Yet you are a man H120 and not God H410,
Although you make H5414 your heart H3820 like the heart H3820 of God H430—
‘Thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068, “On the day H3117 when it went H3381 down H3381 to Sheol H7585 I caused H56 mourning H56; I covered H3680 it with the [fn]deep H8415 over H5921 it and held H4513 back H4513 its rivers H5104. And its many H7227 waters H4325 were stopped H3607 up H3607, and I made Lebanon H3844 [fn]mourn H6937 for it, and all H3605 the trees H6086 of the field H7704 wilted H5968 away H5968 on H5921 account H5921 of H5921 it.
“Elam H5867 is there H8033 and all H3605 her multitude H1995 all around H5439 her grave H6900; all H3605 of them slain H2491, fallen H5307 by the sword H2719, who H834 went H3381 down H3381 uncircumcised H6189 to the lower H8482 parts H8482 of the earth H776, who H834 put H5414 their terror H2851 in the land H776 of the living H2416 and bore H5375 their dishonor H3639 with those who went H3381 down H3381 to the pit H953.
“And beside H5921 the border H1366 of Judah H3063, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285, shall be the contribution H8641 which H834 you shall contribute H7311, 25,000 H6242 H2568 H505 [fn]cubits in width H7341, and in length H753 like one H259 of the portions H2506, from the east H6921 side H6285 to the west H3220 side H6285; and the sanctuary H4720 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
“And the remainder H3498 shall be for the prince H5387, on the one H2088 side H2088 and on the other H2088 of the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and of the city's H5892 possession H272 of land; in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 cubits of the contribution H8641 toward H5704 the east H6921 border H1366 and westward H3220 in front H6440 of the 25,000 H2568 H6242 H505 toward H5921 the west H3220 border H1366, alongside H5980 the portions H2506, it shall be for the prince H5387. And the holy H6944 contribution H8641 and the sanctuary H4720 of the house H1004 shall be in the middle H8432 of it.
Then H116 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 was filled H4391 with wrath H2528, and the image H6755 of his face H600 changed H8133 toward H5922 Shadrach H7715, Meshach H4336, and Abed-nego H5665. He answered H6032 and said H560 to heat H228 the furnace H861 seven H7655 times H2298 more H5922 than H5922 H1768 it was usually H2370 heated H228.
“Yet H1297 leave H7662 the stump H6136 [fn]with its roots H8330 in the earth H772,
But with a band H613 of iron H6523 and bronze H5174 around it
In the new H1883 grass H1883 of the field H1251;
And let him be drenched H6647 with the dew H2920 of heaven H8065,
And let [fn]him share H2508 with the beasts H2423 in the grass H6212 of the earth H772.
“Then H116 Daniel H1841, whose H1768 name H8036 is Belteshazzar H1096, was appalled H8075 for a while H8160 as his thoughts H7476 were alarming H927 him. The king H4430 answered H6032 and said H560, ‘Belteshazzar H1096, do not let the dream H2493 or its interpretation H6591 alarm H927 you.' Belteshazzar H1096 answered H6032 and said H560, ‘My lord H4756, if only the dream H2493 applied to those who hate H8131 you and its interpretation H6591 to your adversaries H6146!
“But at the end H7118 of those days H3118, I, Nebuchadnezzar H5020, lifted H5191 up H5191 my eyes H5870 toward heaven H8065, and my knowledge H4486 returned H8421 to me, and I blessed H1289 the Most H5943 High H5943 and praised H7624 and honored H1922 Him who H2417 lives H2417 forever H5957;
For His [fn]dominion H7985 is an everlasting H5957 [fn]dominion H7985,
And His kingdom H4437 endures from generation H1859 to generation H1859.
“At that time H2166 my knowledge H4486 returned H8421 to me. And my majesty H1923 and splendor H2122 were returned H8421 to me for the glory H3367 of my kingdom H4437, and my high H1907 officials H1907 and my nobles H7261 began seeking H1156 me out H1156; so I was reestablished H8627 in my kingdom H4437, and extraordinary H3493 greatness H7238 was added H3255 to me.
The queen H4433 entered H5954 the banquet H4961 [fn]hall H1005 because H6903 of the words H4406 of the king H4430 and his nobles H7261; the queen H4433 answered H6032 and said H560, “O king H4430, live H2418 forever H5957! Do not let your thoughts H7476 alarm H927 you or the [fn]splendor H2122 of your face be changed H8133.
For He is the living H2417 God H426 and enduring H7011 forever H5957,
And His kingdom H4437 is one which H1768 will not be destroyed H2255,
“And to Him was given H3052 [fn]dominion H7985,
Glory H3367, and a kingdom H4437,
That all H3606 the peoples H5972, nations H524, and men of every tongue H3961
Might serve H6399 Him.
His [fn]dominion H7985 is an everlasting H5957 [fn]dominion H7985
Which H1768 will not be taken H5709 away H5709;
And His kingdom H4437 is one
“To You, O Lord H136, belongs righteousness H6666, but to us [fn]open H6440 shame H1322, as it is this H2088 day H3117—to the men H376 of Judah H3063, the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389, and all H3605 Israel H3478, those who are nearby H7138 and those who are far H7350 away in all H3605 the countries H776 to which H834 You have banished H5080 them, because of their unfaithful H4603 H4604 deeds H4604 which H834 they have committed H4603 against You.
“Then the king H4428 will do H6213 as he pleases H7522, and he will exalt H7311 and magnify H1431 himself above H5921 every H3605 god H410 and will speak H1696 [fn]astonishing H6381 things H6381 against H5921 the God H410 of gods H410; and he will succeed H6743 until H5704 the indignation H2195 is finished H3615, for that which is decreed H2782 will be done H6213.
When Yahweh H3068 first H8462 spoke H1696 through Hosea H1954, Yahweh H3068 said H559 to Hosea H1954, “Go H1980, take H3947 for yourself a wife H802 of harlotry H2183 and have children H3206 of harlotry H2183; for the land H776 commits H2181 flagrant H2181 harlotry H2181, [fn]forsaking H4480 H310 Yahweh H3068.”
“For their mother H517 has played H2181 the H2181 harlot H2181;
She who conceived H2029 them has acted H954 shamefully H954.
For she said H559, ‘I will go H1980 after H310 my lovers H157,
Who give H5414 me my bread H3899 and my water H4325,
My wool H6785 and my flax H6593, my oil H8081 and my drink H8250.'
What H3499 the gnawing H1501 locust H1501 has left H3499, the swarming H697 locust H697 has consumed H398;
And what H3499 the swarming H697 locust H697 has left H3499, the creeping H3218 locust H3218 has consumed H398;
And what H3499 the creeping H3218 locust H3218 has left H3499, the stripping H2625 locust H2625 has consumed H398.
But Yahweh H3068 gives H5414 forth His voice H6963 before H6440 His military H2428 force H2428;
Surely H3588 His camp H4264 is very H3966 numerous H7227,
For mighty H6099 is he who does H6213 His word H1697.
The day H3117 of Yahweh H3068 is indeed H3588 great H1419 and very H3966 awesome H3372,
And who can endure H3557 it?
“But I will remove H7368 the northern H6830 military force far H7368 from you,
And I will drive H5080 it into a parched H6723 and desolate H8077 land H776,
And its vanguard H6440 into the eastern H6931 sea H3220,
And its rear H5490 guard into the western H314 sea H3220.
And its stench H889 will rise H5927 up H5927, and its foul H6709 smell H6709 will rise H5927 up H5927,
“Then I will pay H7999 back H7999 to you in H7999 full H7999 for the years H8141
That the swarming H697 locust H697 has consumed H398,
The creeping H3218 locust H3218, the stripping H2625 locust H2625, and the gnawing H1501 locust H1501,
My great H1419 military H2428 force H2428 which H834 I sent H7971 among you.
For thus H3541 says H559 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068,
“The city H5892 which goes H3318 forth H3318 one thousand H505 strong
Will have H7604 one hundred H3967 left H7604,
And the one which goes H3318 forth H3318 one hundred H3967 strong
Will have H7604 ten H6235 left H7604 to the house H1004 of Israel H3478.”
Then Amaziah H558, the priest H3548 of Bethel H1008, sent H7971 word to Jeroboam H3379 king H4428 of Israel H3478, saying H559, “Amos H5986 has conspired H7194 against H5921 you in the midst H7130 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478; the land H776 is H3201 unable H3808 H3201 to endure H3557 all H3605 his words H1697.
“My people H5971, remember H2142 now H4994
What H4100 Balak H1111 king H4428 of Moab H4124 counseled H3289
And what H4100 Balaam H1109 son H1121 of Beor H1160 answered H6030 him,
And from Shittim H7851 to Gilgal H1537,
So H4616 [fn]that you might know H3045 the righteous H6666 acts H6666 of Yahweh H3068.”
I heard H8085, and my [fn]inward H990 parts H990 trembled H7264;
At the sound H6963 my lips H8193 tingled H6750.
Decay H7538 enters H935 my bones H6106,
And in H8478 my place H8478 I tremble H7264.
Because H834 I must wait H5117 quietly H5117 for the day H3117 of distress H6869,
[fn]For the people H5971 to arise H5927 who will invade H1464 us.
Neither H1571 H3808 their silver H3701 nor H1571 their gold H2091
Will be H3201 able H3201 to deliver H5337 them
On the day H3117 of the fury H5678 of Yahweh H3068;
And all H3605 the earth H776 will be devoured H398
In the fire H784 of His jealousy H7068,
For He will make H6213 a complete H3617 destruction H3617,
This H2088 is the exultant H5947 city H5892
Which inhabits H3427 securely H983,
Who says H559 in her heart H3824,
“I am, and there H657 is H657 no H657 one H657 besides H5750 me.”
How H349 she has become H1961 an object H8047 of horror H8047,
A resting H4769 place H4769 for beasts H2416!
“Therefore H3651 wait H2442 for Me,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068,
“For the day H3117 when I rise H6965 up H6965 as a witness H5707.
Indeed H3588, My judgment H4941 is to assemble H622 nations H1471,
To gather H6908 kingdoms H4467,
To pour H8210 out H8210 on them My indignation H2195,
All H3605 My burning H2740 anger H639;
Now this H2088 will be the plague H4046 with which H834 Yahweh H3068 will plague H5062 all H3605 the peoples H5971 who H834 have gone H6633 to war H6633 against H5921 Jerusalem H3389; their flesh H1320 will rot H4743 while they stand H5975 on their feet H7272, and their eyes H5869 will rot H4743 in their sockets H2356, and their tongue H3956 will rot H4743 in their mouth H6310.
“‘A son H1121 honors H3513 his father H1, and a slave H5650 his master H113. Then if H518 I am a father H1, where H346 is My honor H3519? And if H518 I am a master H113, where H346 is the fear H4172 of Me?' says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 to you, O priests H3548 who despise H959 My name H8034. But you say H559, ‘How H4100 have we despised H959 Your name H8034?'
“[fn]For behold H2009, the day H3117 is coming H935, burning H1197 like a furnace H8574; and all H3605 the arrogant H2086 and every H3605 worker H6213 of wickedness H7564 will be chaff H7179; and the day H3117 that is coming H935 will set H3857 them aflame H3857,” says H559 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635, “so H834 that H834 it will leave H5800 them neither H3808 root H8328 nor H3808 branch H6057.”
