“Because H3588 you have done H6213 this H2088,
Cursed H779 are you more H4480 than H4480 all H3605 the livestock H929,
And more H4480 than H4480 any H3605 animal H2416 of the field H7704;
On your belly H1512 you shall go H1980,
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;
Now in the days H3117 of wheat H2406 harvest H7105 Reuben H7205 went H1980 and found H4672 mandrake H1736 fruits H1736 in the field H7704, and brought H935 them to his mother H517 Leah H3812. Then Rachel H7354 said H559 to Leah H3812, “Please H4994 give H5414 me some H4480 of your son's H1121 mandrakes H1736.”
Now it was about three H7969 months H2320 later H4480 that Judah H3063 was [fn]informed H5046, “Your daughter-in-law H3618 Tamar H8559 has prostituted H2181 herself, and behold H2009, she is also H1571 pregnant H2030 by prostitution H2183.” Then Judah H3063 said H559, “Bring H3318 her out H3318 and have her burned H8313!”
When [fn]the time H3117 for Israel H3478 to die H4191 drew H7126 near H7126, he called H7121 his son H1121 Joseph H3130 and said H559 to him, “Please H4994, if H518 I have found H4672 favor H2580 in your sight H5869, place H7760 your hand H3027 under H8478 my thigh H3409 now H4994 and deal H6213 with me in kindness H2617 and [fn]faithfulness H571: please H4994 do not bury H6912 me in Egypt H4714,
“The blessings H1293 of your father H1
Have surpassed H1396 the blessings H1293 of my ancestors H2029
Up to the [fn]furthest H8379 boundary H8379 of the everlasting H5769 hills H1389;
May they be on the head H7218 of Joseph H3130,
And on the top H6936 of H6936 the H6936 head H6936 of the one H5139 distinguished H5139 among his brothers H251.
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to the LORD H3068, “Please H994, Lord H136, I have never H3808 been [fn]eloquent H376 H1697, neither H1571 [fn]recently H4480 H8543 nor H1571 in time H8032 past H8032, nor H1571 since H227 You have spoken H1696 to Your servant H5650; for I am [fn]slow H3515 of speech H6310 and [fn]slow H3515 of tongue H3956.”
And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “When you go H1980 [fn]back H7725 to Egypt H4714, see H7200 that you perform H6213 before H6440 Pharaoh H6547 all H3605 the wonders H4159 which H834 I have put H7760 in your [fn]power H3027; but I will harden H2388 his heart H3820 so that he will not let H7971 the people H5971 go H7971.
Now the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Reach H5186 out H5186 with your hand H3027 toward H5921 the sky H8064, so that [fn]hail H1259 may fall H1961 on all H3605 the land H776 of Egypt H4714, on every person H120 and animal H929, and on every H3605 plant H6212 of the field H7704, throughout the land H776 of Egypt H4714.”
“For six H8337 days H3117 you are to do H6213 your work H4639, but on the seventh H7637 day H3117 you shall cease H7673 from labor so H4616 that H4616 your ox H7794 and your donkey H2543 may rest H5117, and the son H1121 of your female H519 slave H519, as well as the stranger H1616 residing with you, may refresh H5314 themselves.
Then Moses H4872 pleaded H2470 with the LORD H3068 his God H430, and said H559, “LORD H3068, why H4100 does Your anger H639 burn H2734 against Your people H5971 whom H834 You have brought H3318 out H3318 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714 with great H1419 power H3581 and with a mighty H2389 hand H3027?
Then the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872, “Depart H1980, go H5927 up H5927 from here H2088, you and the people H5971 whom H834 you have brought H5927 up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, to the land H776 of which H834 I swore H7650 to Abraham H85, Isaac H3327, and Jacob H3290, saying H559, ‘To your [fn]descendants H2233 I will give H5414 it.'
Then [fn]God said H559, “Behold H2009, I am going to make H3772 a covenant H1285. Before H5048 all H3605 your people H5971 I will perform H6213 miracles H6381 which H834 have not been [fn]produced H1254 in all H3605 the earth H776 nor H3808 among any H3605 of the nations H1471; and all H3605 the people H5971 [fn]among H7130 whom H834 you live will see H7200 the working H4639 of the LORD H3068, for it is a fearful H3372 thing H3372 that I am going to perform H6213 with you.
“Tell H1696 your brother H251 Aaron H175 that he shall not enter H935 at [fn]any H3605 time H6256 into the Holy H6944 Place H6944 inside H4480 H1004 the veil H6532, before H413 H6440 the [fn]atoning H3727 cover H3727 which H834 is on the ark H727, or H3808 he will die H4191; for I will appear H7200 in the cloud H6051 over H5921 the [fn]atoning H3727 cover H3727.
‘You are to keep H8104 My statutes H2708. You shall not cross-breed H7250 two H3610 kinds H3610 of your cattle H929; you shall not sow H2232 your field H7704 with two H3610 kinds H3610 of seed, nor H3808 wear H5927 H5921 a garment H899 of two H3610 kinds H3610 of material H8162 mixed H8162 together H8162.
‘When you reap H7114 the harvest H7105 of your land H776, moreover, you shall not reap H7114 to the very H3615 edges H6285 of your field H7704 nor H3808 gather H3950 the gleaning H3951 of your harvest H7105; you are to leave H5800 them for the needy H6041 and the stranger H1616. I am the LORD H3068 your God H430.'”
‘Now if H3588 the [fn]means H3027 of a stranger H1616 or of a foreign H8453 resident H8453 with you becomes H5381 sufficient H5381, and a countryman H251 of yours becomes H4134 poor H4134 in H5973 relation H5973 to H5973 him and sells H4376 himself to a stranger H1616 who H8453 is H8453 residing H8453 with you, or H176 to the descendants H6133 of a stranger's H1616 family H4940,
So the LORD H3068 said H559 to Aaron H175, “You, your sons H1121, and your father's H1 household H1004 with you shall bear H5375 the guilt H5771 [fn]in connection with the sanctuary H4720, and you and your sons H1121 with you shall bear H5375 the guilt H5771 [fn]in connection with your priesthood H3550.
Then the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to Aaron H175, “Now behold H2009, I Myself H589 have put H5414 you in charge H4931 of My [fn]offerings H8641, all H3605 the holy H6944 gifts of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 I have given H5414 to you as a portion H4888 and to your sons H1121 as a permanent H5769 allotment H2706.
“Only H7534 be H8104 careful H8104 for yourself and watch H8104 over H8104 your soul H5315 diligently H3966, so H6435 that H6435 you do not H6435 forget H7911 the things H1697 which H834 your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 and they do not H6435 depart H5493 from H5493 your heart H3824 all H3605 the days H3117 of your life H2416; but make H3045 them known H3045 to your sons H1121 and your grandsons H1121.
“When H3588 you father H3205 children H1121 and have [fn]grandchildren H1121, and you grow H3462 old H3462 in the land H776, and you act H7843 corruptly H7843, and make H6213 [fn]an idol H6459 in the form H8544 of anything H3605, and do H6213 what H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 to provoke H3707 Him to H3707 anger H3707,
“Indeed H3588, ask H7592 now H4994 about the earlier H7223 days H3117 that were [fn]before H6440 your time, since H4480 the day H3117 that God H430 created H1254 [fn]mankind H120 on the earth H776, and inquire from one end H7097 of the heavens H8064 to the other H7097 H8064. Has anything been done H1961 like this H2088 great H1419 thing H1697, or H176 has anything been heard H8085 like H3644 it?
‘Honor H3513 your father H1 and your mother H517, just H834 as H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has commanded H6680 you, so H4616 that H4616 your days H3117 may be prolonged H748 and that it may go H3190 well H3190 for you on the land H127 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you.
“Then it shall come H1961 about H1961 when H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 brings H935 you into the land H776 that H834 He swore H7650 to your fathers H1, to Abraham H85, Isaac H3327, and Jacob H3290, to give H5414 you, great H1419 and splendid H2896 cities H5892 which H834 you did not build H1129,
“When H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 brings H935 you into the land H776 where H834 H8033 you are entering H935 to take H3423 possession H3423 of it, and He drives H5394 away H5394 many H7227 nations H1471 from before H6440 you, the Hittites H2850, the Girgashites H1622, the Amorites H567, the Canaanites H3669, the Perizzites H6522, the Hivites H2340, and the Jebusites H2983, seven H7651 nations H1471 greater H7227 and mightier H6099 than H4480 you,
“Do not say H559 in your heart H3824 when the LORD H3068 your God H430 has driven H1920 them away H1920 from [fn]you, ‘Because of my righteousness H6666 the LORD H3068 has brought H935 me in H935 to take H3423 possession H3423 of this H2088 land H776.' Rather, it is because of the [fn]wickedness H7564 of these H428 nations H1471 that the LORD H3068 is dispossessing H3423 them before H4480 H6440 you.
“And now H6258, Israel H3478, what H4100 does the LORD H3068 your God H430 require H7592 of you, but to [fn]fear H3372 the LORD H3068 your God H430, to walk H1980 in all H3605 His ways H1870 and love H157 Him, and to serve H5647 the LORD H3068 your God H430 with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul H5315,
“However H7534, you may slaughter H2076 and eat H398 meat H1320 within any H3605 of your gates H8179, [fn]whatever H3605 you desire H185, according to the blessing H1293 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 which H834 He has given H5414 you; the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 alike may eat H398 it, as the gazelle H6643 and the deer H354.
“Be H8104 careful H8104 and listen H8085 to all H3605 these H428 words H1697 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you, so H4616 that H4616 it may go H3190 well H3190 for you and your sons H1121 after H310 you forever H5704 H5769, for you will be doing H6213 what H2896 is H2896 good H2896 and right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430.
“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 like your own soul H5315, entices H5496 you secretly H5643, saying H559, ‘Let's go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430' (whom H834 neither H3808 you nor H3808 your fathers H1 have known H3045,
“You shall not eat H398 anything H3605 which H5038 dies H5038 of itself. You may give H5414 it to the stranger H1616 who H834 is in your [fn]town H8179, so that he may eat H398 it, or H176 you may sell H4376 it to a stranger H5237; for you are a holy H6918 people H5971 to the LORD H3068 your God H430. You shall not boil H1310 a young H1423 goat H1423 in its mother's H517 milk H2461.
“If H3588 there is a poor H34 person H34 among you, one H259 of your brothers H251, in any H259 of your [fn]towns H8179 in your land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, you shall not harden H553 your heart H3824, nor H3808 close H7092 your hand H3027 from your poor H34 brother H251;
“It shall not seem H7185 difficult H7185 for you when you set H7971 him [fn]free H2670, because H3588 he has given H5647 you six H8337 years H8141 with double H4932 the [fn]service H7939 of a hired H7916 worker H7916; so the LORD H3068 your God H430 will bless H1288 you in whatever H3605 H834 you do H6213.
“Three H7969 times H6471 a year H8141 all H3605 your males H2138 shall appear H7200 before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430 at the place H4725 which H834 He chooses H977: at the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682, at the Feast H2282 of Weeks H7620, and at the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521; and they are not to appear H7200 before H6440 the LORD H3068 empty-handed H7387.
“If H3588 there is found H4672 in your midst H7130, in any H259 of your [fn]towns H8179 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, a man H376 or H176 a woman H802 who H834 does H6213 what H7451 is H7451 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 your God H430, by violating H5674 His covenant H1285,
“If H3588 a case H1697 is H6381 too H4480 difficult H6381 for you to decide H4941, between H996 [fn]one kind of homicide H1818 or another H1818, between H996 [fn]one kind of lawsuit H1779 or another H1779, and between H996 [fn]one kind of assault H5061 or another H5061, that are cases H1697 of dispute H7379 in your [fn]courts H8179, then you shall arise H6965 and go H5927 up H5927 to the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 chooses H977.
“When H3588 you go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 your enemies H340 and see H7200 horses H5483, chariots H7393, and people H5971 more H7227 numerous H7227 than H4480 you, do not be H3372 afraid H3372 of them; for the LORD H3068 your God H430, who H834 brought H5927 you up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, is with you.
“When H3588 you besiege H6696 a city H5892 for a long H7227 time H3117, to make H3898 war H3898 against H5921 it in order to capture H8610 it, you shall not destroy H7843 its trees H6086 by swinging H5080 an axe H1631 against H5921 them; for you may eat H398 from them, so you shall not cut H3772 them down H3772. For [fn]is the tree H6086 of the field H7704 a human H120, that it should [fn]be besieged H4692 by you?
“If H3588 you happen H7122 to H7122 come H7122 upon 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 in it, 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;
“When H3588 you reap H7114 your harvest H7105 in your field H7704 and forget H7911 a sheaf H6016 in the field H7704, you are not to go H7725 back H7725 to get H3947 it; it shall belong H1961 to the stranger H1616, the [fn]orphan H3490, and to the widow H490, in H4616 order H4616 that H4616 the LORD H3068 your God H430 may bless H1288 you in all H3605 the work H4639 of your hands H3027.
“When H3588 you have finished H3615 paying H6237 all H3605 the tithe H4643 of your produce H8393 in the third H7992 year H8141, the year H8141 of the tithe H4643, then you shall give H5414 it to the Levite H3881, to the stranger H1616, to the [fn]orphan H3490, and to the widow H490, so that they may eat H398 in your [fn]towns H8179 and be H7646 satisfied H7646.
“Now it shall be, if H518 you diligently H8085 [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430, being H8104 careful H8104 to do H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that the LORD H3068 your God H430 will put H5414 you high H5945 above H5921 all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776.
“But it shall come H1961 about H1961, if H518 you do not [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430, to be H8104 careful H8104 to [fn]follow H6213 all H3605 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 I am commanding H6680 you today H3117, that all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 will come H935 upon you and overtake H5381 you:
“The LORD H3068 will send H7971 against you curses H3994, panic H4103, and rebuke H4045, in [fn]everything H3605 you undertake H3027 H4916 to do H6213, until H5704 you are destroyed H8045 and until H5704 you perish H6 quickly H4118, on H4480 H6440 account H4480 H6440 of H4480 H6440 the evil H7455 of your deeds H4611, because H834 you have abandoned H5800 Me.
“The LORD H3068 will cause H5414 you to be defeated H5062 by H6440 your enemies H340; you will go H3318 out H3318 one H259 way H1870 against H413 them, but you will flee H5127 seven H7651 ways H1870 from their presence H6440, and you will be an example of terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
“So all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 shall come H935 upon you and pursue H7291 you and overtake H5381 you until H5704 you are destroyed H8045, because H3588 you would not [fn]obey H8085 H6963 the LORD H3068 your God H430 by keeping H8104 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 He commanded H6680 you.
“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 placed H5414 before H6440 you, and you [fn]call H7725 them to mind H3824 in all H3605 the nations H1471 where H834 H8033 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has scattered H5080 you,
Then the LORD H3068 said H559 to Moses H4872, “Behold H2005, [fn]the time H3117 for you to die H4191 is near H7126; call H7121 Joshua H3091 and present H3320 yourselves at the tent H168 of meeting H4150, and I will commission H6680 him.” So Moses H4872 and Joshua H3091 went H1980 and presented H3320 themselves at the tent H168 of meeting H4150.
“Blessed H835 are you, Israel H3478;
Who H4310 is like H3644 you, a people H5971 saved H3467 by the LORD H3068,
The shield H4043 of your help H5828,
And He who is the sword H2719 of your majesty H1346!
So your enemies H340 will cringe H3584 before you,
And you will trample H1869 on their high H1116 places H1116.”
Now the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua H3091, “Do not fear H3372 or be dismayed H2865. Take H3947 all H3605 the people H5971 of war H4421 with you. Arise H6965, go H5927 up H5927 to Ai H5857; see H7200, I have handed H5414 H3027 over H5414 to you the king H4428 of Ai H5857, his people H5971, his city H5892, and his land H776.
Then the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua H3091, “Reach H5186 out H5186 with the sword H3591 that is in your hand H3027 toward H413 Ai H5857, for I will hand H5414 H3027 it over H5414 to you.” So Joshua H3091 reached H5186 out H5186 with the sword H3591 that was in his hand H3027 toward H413 the city H5892.
Then the men H376 of Gibeon H1391 sent H7971 word to Joshua H3091 at the camp H4264 at Gilgal H1537, saying H559, “Do not [fn]abandon H7503 H3027 H4480 your servants H5650; come H5927 up H5927 to us quickly H4120 and save H3467 us and help H5826 us, for all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 that live H3427 in the hill H2022 country H2022 have assembled H6908 against H413 us.”
Now on the same H1931 night H3915 the LORD H3068 said H559 to him, “Take H3947 your father's H1 bull H6499 H7794 [fn]and a second H8145 bull H6499 seven H7651 years H8141 old, and tear H2040 down H2040 the altar H4196 of Baal H1168 which H834 belongs to your father H1, and cut H3772 down H3772 the [fn]Asherah H842 that is beside H5921 it;
Now the men H376 of Ephraim H669 were summoned H6817, and they crossed H5674 [fn]to Zaphon H6829; and they said H559 to Jephthah H3316, “Why H4069 did you cross H5674 over H5674 to fight H3898 against the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 without H3808 calling H7121 us to go H1980 with you? We will burn H8313 H784 your house H1004 down H8313 on you!”
Then it came H1961 about H1961 on the [fn]fourth day H3117 that they said H559 to Samson's H8123 wife H802, “Entice H6601 your husband H376, so that he will tell H5046 us the riddle H2420, or H6435 we will burn H8313 you and your father's H1 house H1004 with fire H784. Have you invited H7121 us to impoverish H3423 us? Is this not so?”
While they were [fn]celebrating H3190 H3820, behold H2009, the men H376 of the city H5892, certain H376 [fn]worthless H1100 men H1121, surrounded H5437 the house H1004, pushing H1849 one another at the door H1817; and they spoke H559 to the owner H1167 of the house H1004, the old H2205 man H376, saying H559, “Bring H3318 out H3318 the man H376 who H834 entered H935 your house H1004 that we may [fn]have H3045 relations H3045 with him.”
Then Saul H7586 said H559, “Let's go H3381 down H3381 after H310 the Philistines H6430 by night H3915 and take H962 plunder H962 among them until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216, and let's not leave H7604 a man H376 among them alive H7604.” And they said H559, “Do H6213 whatever H3605 seems good H2896 [fn]to you.” So the priest H3548 said H559, “Let's approach H7126 God H430 here H1988.”
Now the LORD H3068 said H559 to Samuel H8050, “How H4970 long H5704 are you going to mourn H56 for [fn]Saul H7586, since I have rejected H3988 him from being H4427 king H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478? Fill H4390 your horn H7161 with oil H8081 and go H1980; I will send H7971 you to Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite H1022, because H3588 I have chosen H7200 a king H4428 for Myself among his sons H1121.”
Then Saul's H7586 anger H639 burned H2734 against Jonathan H3083, and he said H559 to him, “You son H1121 of a perverse H5753, rebellious H4780 woman! Do I not know H3045 that you are choosing H977 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to your own shame H1322, and to the shame H1322 of your mother's H517 nakedness H6172?
“Now H6258 then, my lord H113, as the LORD H3068 lives H2416, and as your soul H5315 lives H2416, since H834 the LORD H3068 has restrained H4513 you from [fn]shedding H935 blood H1818, and from [fn]avenging H3467 yourself by your own hand H3027, now H6258 then, may your enemies H340 and those who seek H1245 evil H7451 against H413 my lord H113, be like Nabal H5037.
Then Saul H7586 said H559, “I have sinned H2398. Return H7725, my son H1121 David H1732, for I will not harm H7489 you again H5750 since H8478 H834 my life H5315 was H3365 precious H3365 in your sight H5869 this H2088 day H3117. Behold H2009, I have played H5528 the H5528 fool H5528 and have made H7686 a H7686 very H3966 great H7235 mistake H7686.”
Then David H1732 said H559 to Achish H397, “If H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 favor H2580 in your sight H5869, have them give H5414 me a place H4725 in one H259 of the cities H5892 in the country H7704, so that I may live H3427 there H8033; for why H4100 should your servant H5650 live H3427 in the royal H4467 city H5892 with you?”
Now it came H1961 about H1961 in those H1992 days H3117 that the Philistines H6430 gathered H6908 their armed camps H4264 for war H6635, to fight H3898 against Israel H3478. And Achish H397 said H559 to David H1732, “Know H3045 for H3045 certain H3045 that you will go H3318 out H3318 with me in the camp H4264, you and your men H376.”
Then Achish H397 called H7121 David H1732 and said H559 to him, “As the LORD H3068 lives H2416, you have indeed H3588 been honest H3477, and your [fn]going H3318 out H3318 and your coming H935 in H935 with me in the army H4264 are pleasing H2896 in my sight H5869; for I have not found H4672 evil H7451 in you since H3588 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 governors H5633.
Then Absalom H53 her brother H251 said H559 to her, “Has Amnon H550 your brother H251 been H1961 with you? But now H6258 keep H2790 silent H2790, my sister H269, he is your brother H251; do not take H7896 this H2088 matter H1697 to heart H3820.” So Tamar H8559 remained H3427 and was H8074 isolated H8074 in her brother H251 Absalom's H53 house H1004.
Then Ahimaaz H290 called H7121 out H7121 and said H559 to the king H4428, “[fn]All is well H7965.” And he prostrated H2331 himself before the king H4428 with his face H639 to the ground H776. And he said H559, “Blessed H1288 is the LORD H3068 your God H430, who H834 has turned H5462 over H5462 the men H376 who H834 raised H5375 their hands H3027 against my lord H113 the king H4428.”
Now a worthless H1100 man H376 happened H7122 to be there H8033 whose name H8034 was Sheba H7652, the son H1121 of Bichri H1075, a Benjaminite H376 H3228; and he blew H8628 the trumpet H7782 and said H559,
“We have H369 no H369 share H2506 in David H1732,
Nor H3808 do we have an inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
Now David's H1732 heart H3820 [fn]troubled H5221 him after H310 H3651 he had counted H5608 the people H5971. So David H1732 said H559 to the LORD H3068, “I have sinned H2398 greatly H3966 in what H834 I have done H6213. But now H6258, LORD H3068, please H4994 [fn]overlook H5674 the guilt H5771 of Your servant H5650, for I have acted H5528 very H3966 foolishly H5528.”
Then to Abiathar H54 the priest H3548 the king H4428 said H559, “Go H1980 to Anathoth H6068 to your own field H7704, for you [fn]deserve H376 to die H4194; but I will not put H4191 you to H4191 death H4191 at this H2088 [fn]time H3117, because H3588 you carried H5375 the ark H727 of the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 before H6440 my father H1 David H1732, and because H3588 you were afflicted H6031 in everything H3605 with which H834 my father H1 was afflicted H6031.”
But it came H1961 about H1961 at the end H7093 of three H7969 years H8141, that two H8147 of Shimei's H8096 servants H5650 ran H1272 away H1272 to Achish H397 son H1121 of Maacah H4601, king H4428 of Gath H1661. And others told H5046 Shimei H8096, saying H559, “Behold H2009, your servants H5650 are in Gath H1661.”
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 [fn]their enemy H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to the LORD H3068 [fn]toward H1870 the city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
When all H3605 Israel H3478 saw H7200 that the king H4428 had not listened H8085 to them, the people H5971 replied H7725 H1697 to the king H4428, saying H559,
“What H4100 share H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
To your tents H168, Israel H3478!
Now H6258 look H7200 after your own house H1004, David H1732!”
Then the messenger H4397 who H834 went H1980 to summon H7121 Micaiah H4321 spoke H1696 to him saying H559, “Behold H2009 now H4994, the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 are [fn]unanimously H259 H6310 favorable H2896 to the king H4428. Please H4994 let your word H1697 be like the word H1697 of one H259 of them, and speak H1696 favorably H2896.”
Now one man H376 drew H4900 his bow H7198 at random H8537 and struck H5221 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 [fn]in a joint H1694 of the armor H8302. So he said H559 to the driver H7395 of H7395 his chariot H7395, “Turn H2015 [fn]around H3027 and take H3318 me out H3318 of the battle H4264, for I am H2470 severely H2470 wounded H2470.”
So the king again H7725 sent H7971 the captain H8269 of a third H7992 fifty H2572 with his fifty H2572 men. When the third H7992 captain H8269 of fifty H2572 went H5927 up H5927, he came H935 and bowed H3766 down H3766 on his knees H1290 before H5048 Elijah H452, and begged H2603 him and said H1696 to him, “You 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.
And Elijah H452 said H559 to him, “Elisha H477, please H4994 stay H3427 here H6311, for the LORD H3068 has sent H7971 me to Jericho H3405.” But he said H559, “As surely as the LORD H3068 lives H2416, and as you yourself H5315 live H2416, I will not leave H5800 you.” So they came H935 to Jericho H3405.
Now Elisha H477 said H559 to the king H4428 of Israel H3478, “[fn]What H4100 business do you have with me? Go H1980 to your father's H1 prophets H5030 and your mother's H517 prophets H5030.” But the king H4428 of Israel H3478 said H559 to him, “No H408, for the LORD H3068 has called H7121 these H428 three H7969 kings H4428 together to hand H5414 H3027 them over H5414 to Moab H4124.”
Now a woman H802 of the wives H802 of the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 cried H6817 out H6817 to Elisha H477, saying H559, “Your servant H5650 my husband H376 is dead H4191, and you know H3045 that your servant H5650 feared H3372 the LORD H3068; and the creditor H5383 has come H935 to take H3947 my two H8147 children H3206 to be his slaves H5650.”
Then he said H559 to Gehazi H1522, “[fn]Get H2296 H4975 ready H2296 H4975 and take H3947 my staff H4938 in your hand H3027, and go H1980; if H3588 you meet H4672 anyone H376, do not [fn]greet H1288 him, and if H3588 anyone H376 [fn]greets H1288 you, do not reply H6030 to him. And lay H7760 my staff H4938 on the boy's H5288 face H6440.”
Now it happened H1961, when Elisha H477 the man H376 of God H430 heard H8085 that the king H4428 of Israel H3478 had torn H7167 his clothes H899, that he sent H7971 word to the king H4428, saying H559, “Why H4100 did you tear H7167 your clothes H899? Just H4994 have him come H935 to me, and he shall learn H3045 that there H3426 is H3426 a prophet H5030 in Israel H3478.”
Then he returned H7725 to the man H376 of God H430 [fn]with all H3605 his company H4264, and came H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 him. And he said H559, “Behold H2009 now H4994, I know H3045 that there H369 is H369 no H369 God H430 in all H3605 the earth H776, except H3588 H518 in Israel H3478; so please H4994 accept H3947 a [fn]gift H1293 from your servant H5650 now H6258.”
Now Elisha H477 spoke H1696 to the woman H802 whose H834 son H1121 he had restored H2421 to H2421 life H2421, saying H559, “Arise H6965 and go H1980 [fn]with your household H1004, and live H1481 wherever H834 you can live H1481; for the LORD H3068 has called H7121 for a famine H7458, and it will indeed H1571 come H935 on the land H776 for seven H7651 years H8141.”
Now when he had gone H1980 from there H8033, he [fn]encountered H4672 Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 coming to meet H7122 him; and he [fn]greeted H1288 him and said H559 to him, “Is your heart H3824 right H3477, just H834 as H834 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 pulled H5927 him up H5927 to him into the chariot H4818.
So Ahaz H271 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria H804, saying H559, “I am your servant H5650 and your son H1121; come H5927 up H5927 and save H3467 me from the [fn]hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Aram H758, and from the [fn]hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Israel H3478, who are rising H6965 up H6965 against H5921 me.”
Then Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah H2518, Shebnah H7644, and Joah H3098, said H559 to Rabshakeh H7262, “Speak H1696 now H4994 to your servants H5650 in Aramaic H762, because H3588 we [fn]understand H8085 it; and do not speak H1696 with us in [fn]Judean H3066 [fn]so that the people H5971 who H834 are on the wall H2346 hear H241 you.”
‘Through H3027 your messengers H4397 you have taunted H2778 the Lord H136,
And you have said H559, “With my many H7230 chariots H7393
I went H5927 up H5927 to the heights H4791 of the mountains H2022,
To the remotest H3411 parts H3411 of Lebanon H3844;
And I cut H3772 down H3772 its tall H6967 cedars H730 and its choicest H4004 junipers H1265.
And I entered H935 its farthest H7093 resting H4411 place H4411, its thickest H3759 forest H3293.
In those H1992 days H3117 Hezekiah H2396 became H2470 [fn]mortally H4191 ill H2470. And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Amoz H531, came H935 to him and said H559 to him, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Set H6680 your house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, for you are going to die H4191 and not live H2421.'”
“We are yours, David H1732,
And are with you, son H1121 of Jesse H3448!
Peace H7965, peace H7965 to you,
And peace H7965 to him who helps H5826 you;
Indeed H3588, your God H430 helps H5826 you!”
Then David H1732 received H6901 them and made H5414 them [fn]captains H7218 of the troops H1416.
“As for you, my son H1121 Solomon H8010, know H3045 the God H430 of your father H1, and serve H5647 Him wholeheartedly H8003 H3820 and with a willing H2655 [fn]mind H5315; for the LORD H3068 searches H1875 all H3605 hearts H3824, and understands H995 every H3605 intent H3336 of the thoughts H4284. If H518 you seek H1875 Him, He will let you find H4672 Him; but if H518 you forsake H5800 Him, He will reject H2186 you forever H5703.
“Also H1571 concerning H413 the foreigner H5237 who H834 is not from Your people H5971 Israel H3478, when he comes H935 from a far H7350 country H776 on account H4616 of Your great H1419 name H8034 and Your mighty H2389 hand H3027 and Your outstretched H5186 arm H2220, when they come H935 and pray H6419 toward H413 this H2088 house H1004,
“When H3588 Your people H5971 go H3318 out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 their enemies H340, by whatever H834 way H1870 You send H7971 them, and they pray H6419 to You toward H1870 this H2088 city H5892 which H834 You have chosen H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for Your name H8034,
When all H3605 Israel H3478 saw that the king H4428 had not listened H8085 to them, the people H5971 replied H7725 to the king H4428, saying H559,
“What H4100 share H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448.
Everyone H376 to your tents H168, Israel H3478!
Now H6258 look H7200 after your own house H1004, David H1732!”
So all H3605 Israel H3478 went H1980 away to their tents H168.
At that time H6256 Hanani H2607 the seer H7203 came H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and said H559 to him, “Because you have relied H8172 on the king H4428 of Aram H758 and have not relied H8172 on the LORD H3068 your God H430, for that H3651 reason H3651 the army H2428 of the king H4428 of Aram H758 has escaped H4422 from your hand H3027.
Then the messenger H4397 who H834 went H1980 to summon H7121 Micaiah H4321 spoke H1696 to him saying H559, “Behold H2009, the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 are [fn]unanimously H259 H6310 favorable H2896 to the king H4428. So please H4994 let your word H1697 be like one H259 of them, and speak H1696 favorably H2896.”
Then a letter H4385 came H935 to him from Elijah H452 the prophet H5030, saying H559, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of your father H1 David H1732 says: ‘Because H8478 H834 you have not walked H1980 in the ways H1870 of your father H1 Jehoshaphat H3092 and the ways H1870 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063,
“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 so H1768 that H1768 they may judge H1934 H1778 all H3606 the people H5972 who H1768 are in the province beyond H5675 the Euphrates River H5103, that is, all H3606 those who know H3046 the laws H1882 of your God H426; and you may teach H3046 anyone who H1768 is H3046 ignorant H3809 H3046 of them.
Then the Levites H3881, Jeshua H3091, Kadmiel H6934, Bani H1137, Hashabneiah H2813, Sherebiah H8274, Hodiah H1941, Shebaniah H7645, and Pethahiah H6611 said H559, “Arise H6965, bless H1288 the LORD H3068 your God H430 forever H4480 H5769 and ever H5704 H5769!
May Your glorious H3519 name H8034 be blessed H1288
And exalted H7311 above H5921 all H3605 blessing H1293 and praise H8416!
“You found H4672 his heart H3824 faithful H539 before H6440 You,
And made H3772 a covenant H1285 with him
To give H5414 him the land H776 of the Canaanite H3669,
Of the Hittite H2850 and the Amorite H567,
Of the Perizzite H6522, the Jebusite H2983, and the Girgashite H1622—
To give H5414 it to his [fn]descendants H2233.
“You provided H5414 bread H3899 from heaven H8064 for them for their hunger H7458,
You brought H3318 out H3318 water H4325 from a rock H5553 for them for their thirst H6772,
And You told H559 them to enter H935 in order to take H3423 possession H3423 of
The land H776 which H834 You [fn]swore H5375 H3027 to give H5414 them.
“They refused H3985 to listen H8085,
And did not remember H2142 Your wondrous H6381 deeds H6381 which H834 You performed H6213 among H5973 them;
So they became H7185 H6203 stubborn H7185 H6203 and appointed H5414 a leader H7218 to return H7725 to their slavery H5659 in [fn]Egypt H4714.
But You are a God H433 of forgiveness H5547,
Gracious H2587 and compassionate H7349,
Slow H750 to anger H639 and abounding H7227 in [fn]mercy H2617;
And You did not abandon H5800 them.
You, in Your great H7227 compassion H7356,
Did not abandon H5800 them in the wilderness H4057;
The pillar H5982 of cloud H6051 did not leave H5493 H4480 H5921 them by day H3119,
To guide H5148 them on their way H1870,
Nor H3808 the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915, to light H215 for them the way H1870 in which H834 they were to go H1980.
“They captured H3920 fortified H1219 cities H5892 and a [fn]fertile H8082 land H127.
They took H3423 possession H3423 of houses H1004 full H4392 of every H3605 good H2898 thing H2898,
Carved H2672 out H2672 cisterns H953, vineyards H3754, olive H2132 groves H2132,
Fruit H3978 trees H6086 in abundance H7230.
So they ate H398, were filled H7646 and put H8080 on H8080 fat H8080,
And lived H5727 luxuriously H5727 in Your great H1419 goodness H2898.
“Therefore You handed H5414 H3027 them over H5414 to their enemies H6862 who oppressed H6887 them,
But when they cried H6817 out H6817 to You in the time H6256 of their distress H6869,
You heard H8085 from heaven H8064, and according to Your great H7227 compassion H7356
You gave H5414 them [fn]people H3467 who saved H3467 them from the hand H3027 of their enemies H6862.
“But as soon as they had H5117 rest H5117, they did H6213 evil H7451 again H7725 before H6440 You;
Therefore You abandoned H5800 them to the hand H3027 of their enemies H340, so that they ruled H7287 over them.
When they cried H2199 out H2199 again H7725 to You, You heard H8085 from heaven H8064,
And many H7227 times H6256 You rescued H5337 them according to Your compassion H7356,
And admonished H5749 them in order to turn H7725 them back H7725 to Your Law H8451.
Yet they acted H2102 arrogantly H2102 and did not listen H8085 to Your commandments H4687 but sinned H2398 against Your ordinances H4941,
Which H834, if a person H120 [fn]follows H6213 them, then he will live H2421 by them.
And they [fn]turned H5414 a stubborn H5637 shoulder H3802 and stiffened H7185 their neck H6203, and would not listen H8085.
“Now H6258 then, our God H430, the great H1419, the mighty H1368, and the awesome H3372 God H410, who keeps H8104 His covenant H1285 and faithfulness H2617,
Do not let all H3605 the hardship H8513 seem H4591 insignificant H4591 before H6440 You,
Which H834 has happened H4672 to H4672 us, our kings H4428, our leaders H8269, our priests H3548, our prophets H5030, our fathers H1, and to all H3605 Your people H5971,
From the days H3117 of the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 to this H2088 day H3117.
Now it came H1961 about 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 courtyard H2691 of the king's H4428 palace 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 the palace H1004.
Then the king H4428 said H559 to Haman H2001, “Quickly H4116, take H3947 the robe H3830 and the horse H5483 just H834 as H834 you have said H1696, and do H6213 so H3651 for Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064, who is sitting H3427 at the king's H4428 gate H8179; do not fail H5307 to H5307 do H5307 anything H1697 of all H3605 that you have said H1696.”
It came H1961 about H1961 after H310 the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 these H428 words H1697 to Job H347, that the LORD H3068 said H559 to Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489, “My wrath H639 is kindled H2734 against you and against your two H8147 friends H7453, because H3588 you have not spoken H1696 of Me what H3559 is H3559 trustworthy H3559, as My servant H5650 Job H347 has.
From people H4962 by Your hand H3027, LORD H3068,
From people H4962 [fn]of the world H2465, whose portion H2506 is in this life H2416,
And whose belly H990 You fill H4390 with Your treasure H6840;
They are H7646 satisfied H7646 with children H1121,
And leave H5117 their abundance H3499 to their babies H5768.
For the music director; set to [fn]Al-tashheth. A [fn]Mikhtam of David, [fn]when he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, 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
Rejoice H8055, young H970 man H970, during your childhood H3208, and let your heart H3820 be H3190 pleasant H3190 during the days H3117 of young H979 manhood H979. And follow H1980 the [fn]impulses H1870 of your heart H3820 and the [fn]desires 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.
The Chorus
“Who H4310 is this H2088 coming H5927 up H5927 from the wilderness H4057,
Leaning H7514 on her beloved H1730?”
The Bride
“Beneath H8478 the apple H8598 tree H8598 I awakened H5782 you;
There H8033 your mother H517 went H2254 into H2254 labor H2254 with you,
There H8033 she was H2254 in H2254 labor H2254 and gave H3205 birth H3205 to you.
Now it will come H1961 about H1961 that instead H8478 of H8478 balsam H1314 oil H1314 there will be a stench H4716;
Instead H8478 of H8478 a belt H2290, a rope H5364;
Instead H8478 of H8478 well-set H4748 hair H4748, a plucked-out H7144 scalp H7144;
Instead H8478 of H8478 fine H6614 clothes H6614, a robe H4228 of sackcloth H8242;
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.
Then He will give H5414 you rain H4306 for your seed H2233 which H834 you will sow H2232 in the ground H127, and bread H3899 from the yield H8393 of the ground H127, and it will be [fn]rich H1879 and [fn]plentiful H8082; on that day H3117 your livestock H4735 will graze H7462 in a wide H7337 pasture H3733.
Look H2372 at H2372 Zion H6726, the city H7151 of our appointed H4150 feasts H4150;
Your eyes H5869 will see H7200 Jerusalem H3389, an undisturbed H7600 settlement H5116,
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 ropes H2256 be torn H5423 apart H5423.
Then Eliakim H471, Shebna H7644, and Joah H3098 said H559 to Rabshakeh H7262, “Please H4994 speak H1696 to your servants H5650 in Aramaic H762, for we [fn]understand H8085 it; and do not speak H1696 to us in [fn]Judean H3066 [fn]so that the people H5971 who H834 are on the wall H2346 hear H241 you.”
In those H1992 days H3117 Hezekiah H2396 became H2470 [fn]mortally H4191 ill H2470. And Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030, the son H1121 of Amoz H531, came H935 to him and said H559 to him, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘Set H6680 your house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, for you are going to die H4191 and not live H2421.'”
Go H5927 up H5927 on a high H1364 mountain H2022,
Zion H6726, messenger H1319 of H1319 good H1319 news H1319,
Raise H7311 your voice H6963 forcefully H3581,
Jerusalem H3389, messenger H1319 of H1319 good H1319 news H1319;
Raise H7311 it up H7311, do not fear H3372.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“The [fn]products H3018 of Egypt H4714 and the merchandise H5504 of [fn]Cush H3568
And the Sabeans H5436, men H376 of stature H4060,
Will come H5674 over H5674 to you and will be yours;
They will walk H1980 behind H310 you, they will come H5674 over H5674 in chains H2131
And will bow H2331 down H2331 to you;
They will plead H6419 with you:
‘[fn]God H410 certainly H389 is [fn]with you, and there H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 else H5750,
“But these H428 two H8147 things H8147 will come H935 on you suddenly H7281 in one H259 day H3117:
Loss H7908 of H7908 children H7908 and widowhood H489.
They will come H935 on you in full H8537 measure H8537
In spite of your many H7230 sorceries H3785,
In spite of the great H3966 power H6109 of your spells H2267.
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“At a favorable H7522 time H6256 I answered H6030 You,
And on a day H3117 of salvation H3444 I helped H5826 You;
And I will watch H5341 over H5341 You and make H5414 You a covenant H1285 of the people H5971,
To [fn]restore H6965 the land H776, to give H5157 as H5157 inheritances H5157 the deserted H8074 hereditary H5159 lands H5159;
“Then you will say H559 in your heart H3824,
‘Who H4310 has fathered H3205 these H428 for me,
Since I have been bereaved H7909 of H7909 my children H7909
And cannot H1565 conceive H1565, and I am an exile H1540, and a wanderer H5493?
And who H4310 has raised H1431 these H428?
This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559:
“Behold H2009, I will lift H5375 up H5375 My hand H3027 to the nations H1471
And set H7311 up H7311 My flag H5251 to the peoples H5971;
And they will bring H935 your sons H1121 [fn]in their arms H2684,
And your daughters H1323 will be carried H5375 on their shoulders H3802.
“Kings H4428 will be your guardians H539,
And their princesses H8282 your nurses H3243.
They will bow H2331 down H2331 to you with their faces H639 to the ground H776
And lick H3897 the dust H6083 from your feet H7272;
And you will know H3045 that I am the LORD H3068;
Those who H834 hopefully H6960 wait H6960 for Me will not be put H954 to H954 shame H954.
How H4100 delightful H4998 on the mountains H2022
Are the feet H7272 of one who brings H1319 good H1319 news H1319,
Who announces H8085 [fn]peace H7965
And brings H1319 good H1319 news H1319 of [fn]happiness H2896,
Who announces H8085 salvation H3444,
And says H559 to Zion H6726, “Your God H430 [fn]reigns H4427!”
“No H3605 H3808 weapon H3627 that is formed H3335 against H5921 you will succeed H6743;
And you will condemn H7561 every H3605 tongue H3956 that [fn]accuses H6965 you in judgment H4941.
This H2088 is the heritage H5159 of the servants H5650 of the LORD H3068,
And their vindication H6666 is from Me,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
“Behind H310 the door H1817 and the doorpost H4201
You have set H7760 up H7760 your sign H2146;
Indeed H3588, far removed H4480 from Me, you have uncovered H1540 yourself,
And have gone H5927 up H5927 and made H7337 your bed H4904 wide H7337.
And you have made H3772 an agreement for yourself with them,
“Is it a fast H6685 like this H2088 that I choose H977, a day H3117 for a person H120 to humble H6031 himself H5315?
Is it for bowing H3721 [fn]one's head H7218 like a reed H100
And for spreading H3331 out H3331 sackcloth H8242 and ashes H665 as H3331 a H3331 bed H3331?
Will you call H7121 this H2088 a fast H6685, even an acceptable H7522 day H3117 to the LORD H3068?
“And the LORD H3068 will continually H8548 guide H5148 you,
And satisfy H7646 your [fn]desire H5315 in scorched H6710 places H6710,
And give H2502 strength H2502 to your bones H6106;
And you will be like a watered H7302 garden H1588,
And like a spring H4161 of water H4325 whose H834 waters H4325 do not [fn]fail H3576.
“If H518, because H4480 of the Sabbath H7676, you restrain H7725 your foot H7272
From doing H6213 as you wish H2656 on My holy H6944 day H3117,
And call H7121 the Sabbath H7676 a pleasure H6027, and the holy H6918 day of the LORD H3068 honorable H3513,
And honor H3513 it, desisting H6213 H4480 from your own ways H1870,
“As for Me, this H2088 is My covenant H1285 with them,” says H559 the LORD H3068: “My Spirit H7307 who 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 [fn]offspring H2233, nor H3808 from the mouth H6310 of your [fn]offspring's H2233 offspring H2233,” says H559 the LORD H3068, “from now H6258 and forever H5704 H5769.”
“Certainly H3588 the coastlands H339 will wait H6960 for Me;
And the ships H591 of Tarshish H8659 will come first H7223,
To bring H935 your sons H1121 from afar H7350,
Their silver H3701 and their gold H2091 with them,
For the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 your God H430,
And for the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478 because H3588 He has glorified H6286 you.
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”;
The LORD H3068 has sworn H7650 by His right H3225 hand H3225 and by His mighty H5797 arm H2220:
“I will never H518 again H5750 give H5414 your grain H1715 as food H3978 for your enemies H340,
Nor H518 will [fn]foreigners H1121 H5236 drink H8354 your new H8492 wine H8492 for which H834 you have labored H3021.”
“I remember H2142 regarding you the [fn]devotion H2617 of your youth H5271,
Your love H160 when you were H3623 a H3623 bride H3623,
“Your own wickedness H7451 will correct H3256 you,
And your apostasies H4878 will punish H3198 you;
Know H3045 therefore and see H7200 that it is evil H7451 and bitter H4751
For you to abandon H5800 the LORD H3068 your God H430,
And the fear H6345 of Me is not in you,” declares H5002 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635.
“How H349 can you say H559, ‘I am not defiled H2930,
I have not gone H1980 after H310 the Baals H1168'?
Look H7200 at your way H1870 in the valley H1516!
Know H3045 what H4100 you have done H6213!
You are a swift H7031 young H1072 camel H1072 running H8308 about H8308 senselessly H8308 on her ways H1870,
‘Only H389 [fn]acknowledge H3045 your wrongdoing H5771,
That you have revolted H6586 against the LORD H3068 your God H430,
And have scattered H6340 your [fn]favors H1870 to the strangers H2114 under H8478 every H3605 leafy H7488 tree H6086,
And you have not obeyed H8085 My voice H6963,' declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
And you, desolate H7703 one, what H4100 will you do H6213?
Although H3588 you dress H3847 in scarlet H8144,
Although H3588 you adorn H5710 yourself with jewelry H5716 of gold H2091,
Although H3588 you enlarge H7167 your eyes H5869 with makeup H6320,
In vain H7723 you make H3302 yourself beautiful H3302.
For I heard H8085 a voice H6963 cry as of a woman in H2342 labor H2342,
The anguish H6869 as of one giving H1069 birth H1069 to H1069 her H1069 first H1069 child H1069.
The voice 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 to me, for [fn]I faint H5888 before murderers H2026.”
Therefore H3651, this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of armies H6635 says H559:
“Because H3282 you have spoken H1696 this H2088 word H1697,
Behold H2009, I am making H5414 My words H1697 fire H784 in your mouth H6310,
And this H2088 people H5971 wood H6086, and it will consume H398 them.
“As for your adulteries H5004 and your lustful neighings H4684,
The outrageous H2154 sin H2154 of your prostitution H2184
On the hills H1389 in the field H7704,
I have seen H7200 your abominations H8251.
Woe H188 to you, Jerusalem H3389!
How H4970 long H310 H4970 H5750 will you remain H2891 unclean H3808 H2891?”
Have You completely H3988 rejected H3988 Judah H3063?
Or H518 have [fn]You loathed H1602 Zion H6726?
Why H4069 have You stricken H5221 us so that we are beyond H369 healing H4832?
We waited H6960 for peace H7965, but nothing H369 good H2896 came;
And for a time H6256 of healing H4832, but behold H2009, terror H1205!
‘Therefore H3651 all H3605 who devour H398 you will be devoured H398;
And all H3605 your adversaries H6862, every H3605 one H3605 of them, will go H1980 into captivity H7628;
And those who plunder H8155 you will become H1961 plunder H4933,
And all H3605 who plunder H962 you I will turn H5414 into plunder H957.
So Jeremiah H3414 said H559 to Zedekiah H6667, “This H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 God H430 of armies H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478 says H559: ‘If H518 you will indeed H3318 surrender H3318 to the 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 [fn]survive H2421.
“[fn]Your close H7965 friends H376 H7965
Have misled H5496 and overpowered H3201 you;
‘They are also going to 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.'”
“But as for you, Jacob H3290 My servant H5650, do not fear H3372,
Nor H408 be dismayed H2865, Israel H3478!
For, see H2009, I am going to save H3467 you from far H7350 away H7350,
And your descendants H2233 from the land H776 of their captivity H7628;
And Jacob H3290 will return H7725 and be H8252 undisturbed H8252
And secure H7599, with no H369 one H369 making him afraid H2729.
“Behold H2009, I am going to bring H935 terror H6343 upon you,”
Declares H5002 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of armies H6635,
“From all H3605 directions around H5439 you;
And you will be driven H5080 away H5080 [fn]one H376 after H6440 another,
With no H369 one H369 to gather H6908 the fugitives H5074 together.
“As for the terror H8606 you cause H8606,
The arrogance H2087 of your heart H3820 has deceived H5378 you,
You who live H7931 in the clefts H2288 of [fn]the rock H5553,
Who occupy 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 the LORD H3068.
“Arise H6965, whimper H7442 in the night H3915
At the beginning H7218 of the night watches H821;
Pour H8210 out H8210 your heart H3820 like water H4325
Before H5227 the presence H6440 of the Lord H136;
Raise H5375 your hands H3709 to Him
For the life H5315 of your little H5768 ones H5768
“But as for you, take H3947 wheat H2406, barley H8184, beans H6321, lentils H5742, millet H1764, and spelt H3698, and put H5414 them in one H259 vessel H3627 and make H6213 them into bread H3899 for yourself; you shall eat H398 it according to the number H4557 of the days H3117 that you lie H7901 on your side H6654, 390 H7969 H3967 H8673 days H3117.
Then He said H559 to me, “Son H1121 of man H120, raise H5375 your eyes H5869 now H4994 toward H1870 the north H6828.” So I raised H5375 my eyes H5869 toward H1870 the north H6828, and behold H2009, to the north H6828 of the altar H4196 gate H8179 was this H2088 idol H5566 of jealousy H7068 at the entrance H872.
“Then I passed H5674 by you and saw H7200 you, and behold H2009, [fn]you were at the time H6256 for love H1730; so I spread H6566 My [fn]garment H3671 over H5921 you and covered H3680 your nakedness H6172. I also swore H7650 an H7650 oath H7650 to you and entered H935 into a covenant H1285 with you so that you became H1961 Mine,” declares H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3068.
“Therefore H3651, Oholibah H172, this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 says H559: ‘Behold H2009 I am going to incite H5782 your lovers H157 against H5921 you, from whom H834 [fn]you turned H5361 away H5361 in H5361 disgust H5361, and I will bring H935 them against H5921 you from every H5439 side H5439:
“Furthermore H637, [fn]they have even H3588 sent H7971 for men H376 who come H935 from a great H4801 distance H4801, to whom H834 a messenger H4397 was sent H7971; and behold H2009, they came H935—for whom H834 you bathed H7364, put H3583 makeup H3583 on your eyes H5869, and adorned H5710 yourselves H5710 with jewelry H5716;
“Your wealth H1952, your wares H5801, your merchandise H4627,
Your seamen H4419 and your sailors H2259,
Your repairers H2388 of leaks 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 contingent H6951 that is in your midst H8432,
“Because H3282 your heart H3820 is H1361 haughty H1361
And you have said H559, ‘I am a god H410,
I sit H3427 in the seat H4186 of [fn]gods H430
In the heart H3820 of the seas H3220';
Yet you are a mortal H120 and not God H410,
Although you make H5414 your heart H3820 like the heart H3820 of God H430—
“You were in Eden H5731, the garden H1588 of God H430;
Every H3605 precious H3368 stone H68 was your covering H4540:
The ruby H124, the topaz H6357 and the diamond H3095;
The beryl H8658, the onyx H7718 and the jasper H3471;
The lapis H5601 lazuli H5601, the turquoise H5306 and the emerald H1304;
And the gold H2091, the workmanship H4399 of your [fn]settings H8596 and [fn]sockets H5345,
Was in you.
On the day H3117 that you were created H1254
They were prepared H3559.
“I will put H5414 hooks H2397 in your jaws H3895
And make the fish H1710 of your [fn]canals H2975 cling H1692 to your scales H7193.
And I will bring H5927 you up H5927 out of the midst H8432 of your [fn]canals H2975,
And all H3605 the fish H1710 of your [fn]canals H2975 will cling H1692 to your scales H7193.
“I will abandon H5203 you to the wilderness H4057, you and all H3605 the fish H1710 of your [fn]canals H2975;
You will fall H5307 on the [fn]open H6440 field H7704; you will not be brought H622 together H622 or [fn]gathered H6908.
I have given H5414 you for food H402 to the animals H2416 of the earth H776 and to the birds H5775 of the sky H8064.
‘You [fn]compared H1819 yourself to a young H3715 lion H3715 of the nations H1471,
Yet you are like the monster H8577 in the seas H3220;
And you burst H1518 forth H1518 in your rivers H5104
“But as for you, son H1121 of man H120, [fn]your fellow H1121 H5971 citizens H5971 who talk H1696 with one H2297 another H259 about you by the walls H7023 and in the doorways H6607 of the houses H1004, speak H1696 one H2297 with another H259, each H376 with his brother H251, saying H559, ‘Come H935 now H4994 and hear H8085 what H4100 the [fn]message H1697 is that comes H3318 from the LORD H3068.'
“Then H116 Daniel H1841, whose H1768 name H8036 is Belteshazzar H1096, was appalled H8075 for a while H8160 as his thoughts H7476 alarmed H927 him. The king H4430 responded H6032 and said H560, ‘Belteshazzar H1096, do not let the dream H2493 or its interpretation H6591 alarm H927 you.' Belteshazzar H1096 replied H6032, ‘My lord H4756, if only the dream H2493 applied to those who hate H8131 you, and its interpretation H6591 to your adversaries H6146!
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 began H6032 to H6032 speak H6032 and said H560, “O king H4430, live H2418 forever H5957! Do not let your thoughts H7476 alarm H927 you or your [fn]face H2122 be pale H8133.
Then H116 Daniel H1841 replied H6032 and said H560 before H6925 the king H4430, “[fn]Keep your gifts H4978 for yourself or give H3052 your rewards H5023 to someone H321 else H321; however H1297, I will read H7123 the inscription H3792 to the king H4430 and make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to him.
“Seventy H7657 [fn]weeks H7620 have been decreed H2852 for your people H5971 and your holy H6944 city H5892, to [fn]finish H3615 the wrongdoing H6588, to [fn]make H8552 an H8552 end H8552 of H8552 sin H2403, to make H3722 atonement H3722 for guilt H5771, to bring H935 in H935 everlasting H5769 righteousness H6664, to seal H2856 up H2856 vision H2377 and [fn]prophecy H5030, and to anoint H4886 the Most H6944 Holy H6944 Place H6944.
“Now at that time H6256 Michael H4317, the great H1419 prince H8269 who stands H5975 guard over H5921 the sons H1121 of your people H5971, will arise H5975. And there will be a time H6256 of distress H6869 such H834 as never H3808 occurred H1961 since H4480 there was a nation H1471 until H5704 that time H6256; and at that time H6256 your people H5971, everyone H3605 who is found H4672 written H3789 in the book H5612, will be rescued H4422.
Let the priests H3548, the LORD'S H3068 ministers H8334,
Weep H1058 between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196,
And let them say H559, “[fn]Spare H2347 Your people H5971, LORD H3068,
And do not make H5414 Your inheritance H5159 a disgrace H2781,
With the nations H1471 jeering H4912 at them.
“I sent H7971 a plague H1698 among you [fn]as in Egypt H4714;
I killed H2026 your young H970 men H970 with the sword H2719, along H5973 with H5973 your captured H7628 horses H5483,
And I made the stench H889 of your camp H4264 rise H5927 up H5927 in your nostrils H639;
Yet you have not returned H7725 to Me,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068.
“All H3605 the people H376 [fn]allied H1285 with you
Will send H7971 you to the border H1366,
And the people H376 at peace H7965 with you
Will deceive H5378 you and overpower H3201 you.
They who eat your bread H3899
Will set H7760 an ambush H4204 for you.
(There H369 is H369 no H369 understanding H8394 [fn]in him.)
“Arise H6965 and thresh H1758, daughter H1323 of Zion H6726,
For I will make H7760 your horn H7161 iron H1270,
And I will make H7760 your hoofs H6541 bronze H5154,
So that you may pulverize H1854 many H7227 peoples H5971,
And dedicate H2763 to the LORD H3068 their unjust H1215 profit H1215,
And their wealth H2428 to the Lord H136 of all H3605 the earth H776.
The LORD H3068 has issued H6680 a H6680 command H6680 concerning H5921 [fn]you:
“[fn]Your name H8034 will no H3808 longer H5750 be perpetuated H2232.
I will eliminate H3772 the carved H6459 image H6459 and the cast H4541 metal H4541 image H4541
From the house H1004 of your gods H430.
“Behold H2009, I am against H413 you,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635. “I will burn H1197 up H1197 her chariots H7393 in smoke H6227, and a sword H2719 will devour H398 your young H3715 lions H3715; I will eliminate H3772 your prey H2964 from the land H776, and no H3808 longer H5750 will the voice H6963 of your messengers H4397 be heard H8085.”
“You will be filled H7646 with disgrace H7036 rather H4480 than H4480 honor H3519.
Drink H8354, you yourself H1571, and [fn]expose H6188 your own foreskin H6188!
The cup H3563 in the LORD'S H3068 right H3225 hand H3225 will come H5437 around H5437 to you,
And utter H7022 disgrace H7022 will come upon your glory H3519.
“On that day H3117 you will feel H954 no H3808 shame H954
Because H4480 of all H3605 your deeds H5949
By which H834 you have rebelled H6586 against Me;
For then H227 I will remove H5493 from your midst H7130
Your proud H1346, arrogant H5947 ones H5947,
And you will never H3808 H5750 again H3254 be H1361 haughty H1361
“‘A son H1121 honors H3513 his father H1, and a servant 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 My [fn]respect H4172?' says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 to you, the priests H3548 who despise H959 My name H8034! But you say H559, ‘How H4100 have we despised H959 Your name H8034?'
And at mealtime H6256 H400 Boaz H1162 said H559 to her, “[fn]Come H5066 here H1988, that you may eat H398 of the bread H3899 and dip H2881 your piece H6595 of H6595 bread H6595 in the vinegar H2558.” So she sat H3427 beside H4480 H6654 the reapers H7114; and he served H6642 her roasted H7039 grain H7039, and she ate H398 and was H7646 satisfied H7646 and had H3498 some left H3498.
