Then the LORD H3068 God H430 said H559, “Behold H2005, the man H120 has become H1961 like one H259 of Us, knowing H3045 good H2896 and evil H7451; and now H6258, he might H6435 reach H7971 out H7971 with his hand H3027, and take H3947 fruit also H1571 from the tree H6086 of life H2416, and eat H398, and live H2421 forever H5769”—
Now it came H1961 about H1961, as H834 soon H834 as H834 Isaac H3327 had finished H3615 blessing H1288 Jacob H3290, and Jacob H3290 had hardly H389 H3318 gone H3318 out H3318 from the presence H6440 of his father H1 Isaac H3327, that his brother H251 Esau H6215 came H935 in H935 from his hunting H6718.
Now when Pharaoh H6547 had let H7971 the people H5971 go H7971, God H430 did not lead H5148 them by the way H1870 of the land H776 of the Philistines H6430, even H3588 though H3588 it was near H7138; for God H430 said H559, “The people H5971 might H6435 change H5162 their minds H5162 when they see H7200 war H4421, and return H7725 to Egypt H4714.”
And it came H1961 about 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.
“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.
“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.
“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,
Now it came H1961 about H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 to the west H3220, and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Canaanites H3669 who H834 were by the sea H3220, heard H8085 how H854 H834 the LORD H3068 had dried H3001 up H3001 the waters H4325 of the Jordan H3383 before H4480 H6440 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 until H5704 [fn]they had crossed H5674, that their hearts H3824 melted H4549, and there was no H3808 spirit H7307 in them any H5750 longer H5750 because H4480 H6440 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
Now it came H1961 about H1961 when Joshua H3091 was by Jericho H3405, he raised 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 enemies H6862?”
Now when Israel H3478 had finished H3615 killing H2026 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Ai H5857 in the field H7704 in the wilderness H4057 where H834 they pursued H7291 them, and all H3605 of them had fallen H5307 by the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 until H5704 they were destroyed H8552, then all H3605 Israel H3478 returned H7725 to Ai H5857 and struck H5221 it with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719.
Now it came H1961 about H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383, in the hill H2022 country H2022, the lowland H8219, and on all H3605 the coast H2348 of the Great H1419 Sea H3220 toward H413 H4136 Lebanon H3844, the Hittite H2850 and the Amorite H567, the Canaanite H3669, the Perizzite H6522, the Hivite H2340, and the Jebusite H2983, heard H8085 about it,
Now it came H1961 about H1961 when Adoni-zedek H139 king H4428 of Jerusalem H3389 heard H8085 that Joshua H3091 had captured H3920 Ai H5857, and had [fn]utterly H2763 destroyed H2763 it (just H834 as he had done H6213 to Jericho H3405 and its king H4428, so H3651 he had done H6213 to Ai H5857 and its king H4428), and that the inhabitants H3427 of Gibeon H1391 had made H7999 peace H7999 with Israel H3478 and were [fn]within H7130 their land H7130,
When Gideon H1439 heard H8085 the account H4557 of the dream H2472 and its interpretation H7667, he bowed H2331 in H2331 worship H2331. Then he returned H7725 to the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 and said H559, “Arise H6965, for the LORD H3068 has handed H5414 H3027 over H5414 to you the camp H4264 of Midian H4080!”
Then Delilah H1807 said H559 to Samson H8123, “Up to now H2008 you have toyed H8524 with me and told H1696 me lies H3577; tell H5046 me [fn]how H4100 you may be bound H631.” And he said H559 to her, “If H518 you weave H707 the seven H7651 locks H4253 of my [fn]hair H7218 with the [fn]web H4545 [fn][and fasten it with the pin, then I will be weak like any other man.”
Now the Philistines H6430 assembled H622 to fight H3898 with Israel H3478, thirty H7970 thousand H505 chariots H7393 and six H8337 thousand 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.
“Does the LORD H3068 have as much delight H2656 in burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and sacrifices H2077
As in obeying H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068?
Behold H2009, to obey H8085 is better H2896 than H4480 a sacrifice H2077,
And to pay H7181 attention H7181 is better than H4480 the fat H2459 of rams H352.
Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 to David H1732, “The LORD H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478, is my witness! When H3588 I have sounded H2713 out H2713 my father H1 about this time H6256 tomorrow H4279 or the third H7992 day, behold H2009, if he has a good H2895 feeling toward H413 [fn]you, shall I not then H227 send H7971 word to you and [fn]inform H1540 H241 you?
“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 Abigail H26 came H935 to Nabal H5037, and behold H2009, he was having a feast H4960 in his house H1004, like the feast H4960 of a king H4428. And Nabal's H5037 heart H3820 was cheerful H2895 within H5921 him, for he was very H5704 H3966 drunk H7910; so she did not tell H5046 him anything H1697 [fn]at all H6996 H1419 until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216.
“But the poor H7326 man had nothing H369 at all H3605 except H3588 H518 one H259 little H6996 ewe H3535 lamb H3535
Which H834 he bought H7069 and nurtured H2421;
And it grew H1431 up H1431 together H3162 with him and his children H1121.
It would eat H398 [fn]scraps H6595 from him and drink H8354 from his cup H3563 and lie H7901 [fn]in his lap H2436,
And was like a daughter H1323 to him.
Then Absalom H53 commanded H6680 his servants H5288, saying H559, “See H7200 now H4994, when Amnon's H550 heart H3820 is cheerful H2895 with wine H3196, and I say H559 to you, ‘Strike H5221 Amnon H550,' then put H4191 him to H4191 death H4191. Do not fear H3372; have I not commanded H6680 you myself H595? Be H2388 courageous H2388 and be [fn]valiant H1121 H2428.”
And it came H1961 about H1961, when all H3605 Israel H3478 heard H8085 that Jeroboam H3379 had returned H7725, that they sent H7971 word and called H7121 him to the assembly H5712, and made H4427 him king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478. None H3808 except H2108 the tribe H7626 of Judah H3063 alone H905 followed H310 the house H1004 of David H1732.
And when Jezebel H348 heard H8085 that Naboth H5022 had been stoned H5619 and was dead H4191, Jezebel H348 said H559 to Ahab H256, “Arise H6965, take H3423 possession H3423 of the vineyard H3754 of Naboth H5022, the Jezreelite H3158, which H834 he refused H3985 to give H5414 you for money H3701; for Naboth H5022 is not alive H2416, but dead H4191.”
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 Elisha H477 said H559, “Listen H8085 to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068; this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: ‘About this time H6256 tomorrow H4279 a [fn]measure H5429 of fine H5560 flour H5560 will be sold for a shekel H8255, and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel H8255, at the gate H8179 of Samaria H8111.'”
Then it came H1961 about H1961, as soon as he had finished H3615 [fn]offering H6213 the burnt H5930 offering H5930, that Jehu H3058 said H559 to the [fn]guard H7323 and to the royal H7991 officers H7991, “Go H935 in H935, [fn]kill H5221 them; let none H376 H408 come H3318 out H3318.” So they [fn]killed H5221 them with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719; and the [fn]guard H7323 and the royal H7991 officers H7991 threw H7993 them out H7993, and went H1980 to the [fn]sanctuary H5892 of the house H1004 of Baal H1168.
From the Gadites H1425 valiant H2428 mighty H1368 men H1368 went H914 over H914 to David H1732 at the stronghold H4679 in the wilderness H4057, men H376 trained H6635 for war H4421 who could handle H6186 a large H6793 shield H6793 and spear H7420, whose faces H6440 were like the faces H6440 of lions H738, and they were as swift H4116 as the gazelles H6643 on the mountains H2022.
And it came H1961 about H1961, when H834 David H1732 lived H3427 in his house H1004, that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030, “Look H2009, I am living H3427 in a house H1004 of cedar H730, but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 is under H8478 tent H3407 curtains H3407.”
When the LORD H3068 saw H7200 that they had humbled H3665 themselves, the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to Shemaiah H8098, saying H559, “They have humbled H3665 themselves, so I will not destroy H7843 them; and I will grant H5414 them a little H4592 deliverance H6413, and My wrath H2534 will not be poured H5413 out H5413 on Jerusalem H3389 by means H3027 of Shishak H7895.
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 untrue H4603 to the LORD H3068 his God H430, for he entered H935 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 to burn H6999 incense H6999 on the altar H4196 of incense H7004.
Now when all H3605 this H2088 was finished H3615, all H3605 Israel H3478 who were H4672 present H4672 went H3318 out H3318 to the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, broke H7665 the memorial H4676 stones H4676 in H7665 pieces H7665, cut H1438 down H1438 the [fn]Asherim H842 and pulled H5422 down H5422 the high H1116 places H1116 and the altars H4196 throughout H4480 H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, as well as in Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519, until H5704 [fn]they had destroyed H3615 them all H3615. Then all H3605 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 to their cities H5892, each H376 to his possession H272.
“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.
Now when these H428 things H428 had been completed H3615, the officials H8269 approached H5066 me, saying H559, “The people H5971 of Israel H3478 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776, as to their abominations H8441, those of the Canaanites H3669, the Hittites H2850, the Perizzites H6522, the Jebusites H2983, the Ammonites H5984, the Moabites H4125, the Egyptians H4713, and the Amorites H567.
Now while Ezra H5830 was praying H6419 and making H3034 confession H3034, weeping H1058 and prostrating H5307 himself before H6440 the house H1004 of God H430, a very H3966 large H7227 assembly H6951, men H376, women H802, and children H3206, gathered H6908 to him from Israel H3478; for the people H5971 wept H1058 greatly H7235 H1059.
And all H3605 the people H5971 gathered H622 as one H259 person H376 at the public H7339 square H7339 which H834 was in front H6440 of the Water H4325 Gate H8179, and they [fn]asked H559 Ezra H5830 the scribe H5608 to bring H935 the Book H5612 of the Law H8451 of Moses H4872 which H834 the LORD H3068 had [fn]given H6680 to Israel H3478.
Then Nehemiah H5166, who H1931 was the [fn]governor H8660, and Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 and scribe H5608, and the Levites H3881 who taught H995 the people H5971 said H559 to all H3605 the people H5971, “This H1931 day H3117 is holy H6918 to the LORD 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 arrogantly H2102 toward H5921 them,
And You made H6213 a name H8034 for Yourself as it is this H2088 day H3117.
“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,
Likewise we cast H5307 lots H1486 for the supply H7133 of wood H6086 among the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, and the people H5971 so that they could bring H935 it to the house H1004 of our God H430, according to our fathers' H1 households H1004, at set H2163 times H6256 annually H8141, to burn H1197 on the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430, as it is written H3789 in the Law H8451;
Then the king's H4428 scribes H5608 were summoned H7121 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the first H7223 month H2320, and it was written H3789 just H3605 H834 as Haman H2001 commanded H6680 to the king's H4428 satraps H323, to the governors H6346 who H834 were over H5921 each H4082 province H4082 and to the officials H8269 of each H5971 people H5971, each H4082 province H4082 according to its script H3791, each H5971 people H5971 according to its language H3956, being written H3789 in the name H8034 of King H4428 Ahasuerus H325 and sealed H2856 with the king's H4428 signet H2885 ring H2885.
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.
Like sheep H6629 they sink H7743 down H7743 to [fn]Sheol H7585;
Death H4194 will be their shepherd H7462;
And the upright H3477 will rule H7287 over them in the morning H1242,
And their form H6736 shall be for [fn]Sheol H7585 to consume H1086
[fn]So H4480 that H4480 they have no H4480 lofty H2073 home H2073.
There H3426 is H3426 futility H1892 which H834 is done H6213 on the earth H776, that is, there H3426 are H3426 righteous H6662 people H6662 to whom H834 it [fn]happens H5060 according to the deeds H4639 of the wicked H7563. On the other hand, there H3426 are H3426 evil H7563 people H7563 to whom H7945 it [fn]happens H5060 according to the deeds H4639 of the righteous H6662. I say H559 that this H2088 too H1571 is futility H1892.
For I have taken H5414 all H3605 this H2088 to my heart H3820, even to [fn]examine H952 [fn]it all H3605, that righteous H6662 people H6662, wise H2450 people H2450, and their deeds H5652 are in the hand H3027 of God H430. People H120 do not know H3045 whether H1571 it will be love H160 or H1571 hatred H8135; anything H3605 [fn]awaits H6440 them.
It is the same H834 for all H3605. There is one H259 fate H4745 for the righteous H6662 and for the wicked H7563; for the good H2896, for the clean H2889 and the unclean H2931; for the person who offers H2076 a H2076 sacrifice H2076 and for the one who H834 does not sacrifice H2076. As the good H2896 person H2896 is, so is the sinner H2398; the one who swears H7650 an oath is just as the one who [fn]is afraid H3372 to swear an oath H7621.
I will rejoice H7797 greatly H7797 in the LORD H3068,
My soul H5315 will be H1523 joyful 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 groom H2860 puts H3547 on H3547 a turban H6287,
And as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels H3627.
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.”
Who H4310 is the wise H2450 person H376 who may understand H995 this H2088? And who is he to whom H834 the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 has spoken H1696, that he may declare H5046 it? Why H5921 H4100 is the land H776 destroyed H6, laid H5327 waste H5327 like the desert H4057, so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H1097 passes H5674 through H5674?
But I was like a gentle H441 lamb H3532 led H2986 to the slaughter H2873;
And I did not know H3045 that they had devised H2803 plots H4284 against H5921 me, saying,
“Let's destroy H7843 the tree H6086 with its [fn]fruit H3899,
And let's cut H3772 him off H3772 from the land H776 of the living H2416,
So that his name H8034 will no H3808 longer H5750 be remembered H2142.”
Therefore H3651, this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559:
“If H518 you return H7725, then I will restore H7725 you—
You will stand H5975 before H6440 Me;
And if H518 you extract H3318 the precious H3368 from the worthless H2151,
You will become H1961 [fn]My spokesman H6310.
They, for their part H1992, may turn H7725 to you,
But as for you, you are not to turn H7725 to them.
“Administer H1777 justice H4941 [fn]every morning H1242;
And save H5337 the person who has been robbed H1497 from the [fn]power H3027 of his oppressor H6231,
So H6435 that H6435 My wrath H2534 will not H6435 spread H3318 like fire H784
And burn H1197, with no H369 one H369 to extinguish H3518 it,
“Also among the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389 I have seen H7200 a horrible H8186 thing H8186:
The committing H5003 of H5003 adultery H5003 and walking H1980 in deceit H8267;
And they strengthen H2388 the hands H3027 of evildoers H7489,
So that no H1115 one H376 has turned H7725 back H7725 from his wickedness H7451.
‘But like the bad H7451 figs H8384 which H834 cannot H3808 be eaten H398 due H4480 to rottenness H7455,' indeed H3588, this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559, ‘so H3651 will I give H5414 up H5414 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and his officials H8269, and the remnant H7611 of Jerusalem H3389 who remain H7604 in this H2088 land H776, and the ones who live H3427 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
“Zion H6726 will be plowed H2790 like a field H7704,
And Jerusalem H3389 will become H1961 heaps H5856 of H5856 ruins H5856,
And the mountain H2022 of the house H1004 like the [fn]high H1116 places H1116 of a forest H3293.”'
Then Jeremiah H3414 took H3947 another H312 scroll H4039 and gave H5414 it to the scribe H5608 Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374, and he wrote H3789 on it at the [fn]dictation H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 all H3605 the words H1697 of the book H5612 which H834 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 had burned H8313 in the fire H784; and many H7227 [fn]similar words H1697 were added H3254 to them.
“For behold H2009, I am going to rouse H5782 and bring H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Babylon H894
A contingent H6951 of great H1419 nations H1471 from the land H776 of the north H6828,
And they will draw H6186 up H6186 their battle H6186 lines H6186 against her;
From there H8033 she will be taken H3920 captive H3920.
Their arrows H2671 will be like [fn]an expert H7919 warrior H1368
Lift H5375 up H5375 a signal H5251 flag H5251 in the land H776,
Blow H8628 a trumpet H7782 among the nations H1471!
Consecrate H6942 the nations H1471 against H5921 her,
Summon H8085 against H5921 her the kingdoms H4467 of Ararat H780, Minni H4508, and Ashkenaz H813;
Appoint H6485 an officer H2951 against H5921 her,
Bring H5927 up H5927 the horses H5483 like bristly H5569 locusts H3218.
For this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, the God H430 of Israel H3478 says H559:
“The daughter H1323 of Babylon H894 is like a threshing H1637 floor H1637
At the time H6256 that [fn]it is tread H1869 down H1869;
In just a little H4592 while H5750 the time H6256 of harvest H7105 will come H935 for her.”
He has bent H1869 His bow H7198 like an enemy H340;
His right H3225 hand H3225 is positioned H5324 like an adversary H6862,
And He has killed H2026 everything H3605 that was pleasant H4261 to the eye H5869.
In the tent H168 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726
He has poured H8210 out H8210 His wrath H2534 like fire H784.
And He has treated H2554 His [fn]tabernacle H7900 violently H2554, like a despised garden H1588;
He has destroyed H7843 His appointed H4150 [fn]meeting H4150 place H4150.
The LORD H3068 has caused
The appointed H4150 feast H4150 and Sabbath H7676 in Zion H6726 to be forgotten H7911,
“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
“You called H7121 as on the day H3117 of an appointed H4150 feast H4150
My terrors H4032 on every H5439 side H5439;
And there was no H3808 one who H6412 survived H6412 or escaped H8300
On the day H3117 of the LORD'S H3068 anger H639.
As for those whom H834 I brought H2946 forth H2946 healthy H2946 and whom I raised H7235,
As I looked H7200, behold H2009, a high H5591 wind H7307 was coming H935 from the north H6828, a great H1419 cloud H6051 with fire H784 flashing H3947 intermittently H3947 and a bright H5051 light H5051 around H5439 it, and in its midst H8432 something like gleaming H5869 [fn]metal H2830 in the midst H8432 of the fire H784.
Now above H4480 H4605 the expanse H7549 that was over H5921 their heads H7218 there was something H1823 resembling H1823 a throne H3678, like [fn]lapis H68 H5601 lazuli H68 H5601 in appearance H4758; and on that which H1823 resembled H1823 a throne H3678, high H4480 H4605 up, was a figure H1823 with the appearance H4758 of a man H120.
Then He brought H935 me into the inner H6442 courtyard H2691 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004. And behold H2009, at the entrance H6607 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068, between H996 the porch H197 and the altar H4196, were about twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 with their backs H268 to the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 while their faces H6440 were toward the east H6924; and they were [fn]prostrating H2331 themselves eastward H6924 toward the sun H8121.
Now the Spirit H7307 lifted H5375 me up H5375 and brought H935 me to the east H6931 gate H8179 of the LORD'S H3068 house H1004 which faced H6437 eastward H6931. And behold H2009, there were twenty-five H6242 H2568 men H376 at the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179, and among H8432 them I saw H7200 Jaazaniah H2970 son H1121 of Azzur H5809 and Pelatiah H6410 son H1121 of Benaiah H1141, leaders H8269 of the people H5971.
Then I did H6213 so H3651, just H834 as H834 I had been commanded H6680. By day H3119 I brought H3318 out H3318 my baggage H3627 like the baggage H3627 of an exile H1473. Then in the evening H6153 I dug H2864 through the wall H7023 with my hands H3027; I went H3318 out H3318 in the dark H5939 and carried H5375 the baggage on my shoulder H3802 in their sight H5869.
“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 [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
The building H1146 that was in front H6440 of the separate H1508 area H1508 at the side H6285 toward H1870 the west H3220 was seventy H7657 cubits H520 wide H7341; and the wall H7023 of the building H1146 was five H2568 cubits H520 [fn]thick H7341 all H5439 around H5439, and its length H753 was ninety H8673 cubits H520.
“And the prince H5387 shall have land on either H2088 side H2088 of the holy H6944 [fn]allotment H8641 and the [fn]property H272 of the city H5892, adjacent H413 H6440 to the holy H6944 [fn]allotment H8641 and the [fn]property H272 of the city H5892, on the west H3220 side H6285 toward the west H3220 and on the east H6924 side H6285 toward the east H6921, and in length H753 comparable H5980 to one H259 of the portions H2506, from the west H3220 border H1366 to the east H6921 border H1366.
But Daniel H1840 [fn]made H7760 up H7760 his mind H3820 that he would not defile H1351 himself with the king's H4428 choice H6598 food H6598 or with the wine H3196 which he drank H4960; so he sought H1245 permission from the commander H8269 of the officials H5631 that he might not defile H1351 himself.
“And through H5921 his shrewdness H7922
He will make H6743 deceit H4820 a H6743 success H6743 by his [fn]influence H3027;
And he will make H1431 himself great H1431 in his [fn]own mind H3824,
And he will [fn]destroy H7843 many H7227 while they are [fn]at ease H7962.
He will even [fn]oppose H5975 H5921 the Prince H8269 of princes H8269,
But he will be broken H7665 without H657 [fn]human H3027 agency H3027.
“Righteousness H6666 belongs to You, Lord H136, 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 driven H5080 them, because of their unfaithful H4603 H4604 deeds H4604 which H834 they have committed H4603 against You.
They will not pour H5258 out H5258 drink H5258 offerings H5258 of wine H3196 to the LORD H3068,
Nor will [fn]their sacrifices H2077 please H6149 Him.
Their bread will be to them like [fn]mourners' H205 bread H3899;
All H3605 who eat H398 it will be defiled H2930,
Because H3588 their bread H3899 will be for [fn]themselves H5315 alone;
I found H4672 Israel H3478 like grapes H6025 in the wilderness H4057;
I saw H7200 your forefathers H1 as the earliest H1063 fruit H1063 on the fig H8384 tree H8384 in its first H7225 season.
But they came H935 to Baal-peor H1187 and devoted H5144 themselves to [fn]shame H1322,
And they became H1961 as detestable H8251 as that which H159 they loved H157.
A day H3117 of darkness H2822 and gloom H653,
A day H3117 of clouds H6051 and thick H6205 darkness H6205.
As dawn H7837 is spread H6566 over H5921 the mountains H2022,
So there is a great H7227 and mighty H6099 people H5971;
There has never H3808 H4480 H5769 been H1961 anything like H3644 it,
“Then I will turn H2015 your festivals H2282 into mourning H60,
And all H3605 your songs H7892 into songs H7015 of H7015 mourning H7015;
And I will put H5927 sackcloth H8242 around H5921 everyone's H3605 waist H4975,
And [fn]baldness H7144 on every H3605 head H7218.
And I will make H7760 it like a time of mourning H60 for an only H3173 son H3173,
And the end H319 of it will be like a bitter H4751 day H3117.
The remnant H7611 of Jacob H3290
Will be among the nations H1471,
Among H7130 many H7227 peoples H5971
Like a lion H738 among the animals H929 of the forest H3293,
Like a young H3715 lion H3715 among flocks H5739 of sheep H6629,
Which H834, if H518 he passes H5674 through H5674,
Tramples H7429 and tears H2963,
And there H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who H5337 can H5337 rescue H5337.
“Their horses H5483 are H7043 faster H7043 than H4480 leopards H5246,
And quicker H2300 than H4480 wolves H2061 in the evening H6153.
Their [fn]horsemen H6571 charge H6335 along H6335,
Their [fn]horsemen H6571 come H935 from afar H7350;
They fly H5774 like an eagle H5404 [fn]swooping H2363 down H2363 to devour H398.
“Therefore H3651, as I live H2416,” declares H5002 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635,
“Moab H4124 will assuredly H3588 be like Sodom H5467,
And the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983 like Gomorrah H6017—
Ground H4476 overgrown H4476 with weeds H2738 and full of salt H4417 mines H4379,
And a permanent H5769 desolation H8077.
The remnant H7611 of My people H5971 will plunder H962 them,
And the remainder H3499 of My nation H1471 will inherit H5157 them.”
For the [fn]household H8655 idols H8655 speak H1696 deception H205,
And the diviners H7080 see H2372 [fn]an illusion H8267
And tell H1696 deceitful H7723 dreams H2472;
They comfort H5162 in H1892 vain H1892.
Therefore H5921 H3651 the people [fn]wander H5265 like H3644 sheep H6629,
They are H6031 wretched H6031 because H3588 there H369 is H369 no H369 shepherd H7462.
“On that day H3117 I will make H7760 the [fn]clans H505 of Judah H3063 like a firepot H784 H3595 among pieces of wood H6086 and a flaming H784 torch H3940 among sheaves H5995, so they will consume H398 on the right H3225 and on the left H8040 all H3605 the surrounding H5439 peoples H5971, while [fn]the inhabitants of Jerusalem H3389 again H5750 live H3427 on H8478 their own sites H8478 in Jerusalem H3389.
“And I will pour H8210 out H8210 on the house H1004 of David H1732 and on the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 [fn]the Spirit H7307 of grace H2580 and of pleading H8469, so that they will look H5027 at Me whom H834 they pierced H1856; and they will mourn H5594 for Him, like one mourning H5594 for an only H3173 son H3173, and they will weep H4843 bitterly H4843 over H5921 Him like the bitter H4843 weeping H4843 over H5921 a firstborn H1060.
“[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 evildoer H6213 H7564 will be chaff H7179; and the day H3117 that is coming H935 will set H3857 them ablaze H3857,” says H559 the LORD H3068 of armies H6635, “so H834 that H834 it will leave H5800 them neither H3808 root H8328 nor H3808 branches H6057.
Now Elisha H477 was sitting H3427 in his house H1004, and the elders H2205 were sitting H3427 with him. And the king sent H7971 a man H376 from his presence H6440; but before H2962 the messenger H4397 came H935 to him, he said H559 to the elders H2205, “Do you see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 son H1121 of a murderer H7523 has sent H7971 a man to cut H5493 off H5493 my head H7218? Look H7200, when the messenger H4397 comes H935, shut H5462 the door H1817 and [fn]hold H3905 the door H1817 shut H3905 against him. Is the sound H6963 of his master's H113 feet H7272 not behind H310 him?”
[fn]Now when H834 Sanballat H5571, Tobiah H2900, the Arabs H6163, the Ammonites H5984, and the Ashdodites H796 heard H8085 that the [fn]repair H724 of the walls H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 went H5927 [fn]on, and that the breaches H6555 began H2490 to be H5640 closed H5640, they were H2734 very H3966 angry H2734.
Therefore H3651, as a tongue H3956 of fire H784 consumes H398 stubble H7179,
And dry H2842 grass H2842 collapses H7503 in the flame H3852,
So their root H8328 will become H1961 like rot H4716, and their blossom H6525 [fn]blow H5927 away H5927 like dust H80;
For they have rejected H3988 the Law H8451 of the LORD H3068 of armies H6635,
And discarded H5006 the word H565 of the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478.
For this H3651 reason H3651 the anger H639 of the LORD 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.
And the mountains H2022 quaked H7264, and their corpses H5038 [fn]lay H1961 like refuse H5478 in the middle H7130 of the streets H2351.
Despite all H3605 this H2088, His anger H639 [fn]is H7725 not spent H7725,
But His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
Yet gleanings H5955 will be left H7604 in it like the [fn]shaking H5363 of an olive H2132 tree H2132,
Two H8147 or three H7969 olives H1620 on the topmost H7218 H534 branch H534,
Four H702 or five H2568 on the branches H5585 of a fruitful H6509 tree H6509,
Declares H5002 the LORD H3068, the God H430 of Israel H3478.
The nations H3816 rumble H7582 on like the rumbling H7588 of many H7227 waters H4325,
But He will rebuke H1605 them, and they will flee H5127 far H4801 away H4801,
And be chased H7291 like chaff H4671 on the mountains H2022 before H6440 the wind H7307,
Or like whirling H1534 dust H1534 before H6440 a gale H5492.
Therefore H3651 through this H2088 Jacob's H3290 wrongdoing H5771 will be forgiven H3722;
And this H2088 will be [fn]the full H3605 price H6529 of the [fn]pardoning 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.
And the fading H5034 flower H6731 of its glorious H6643 beauty H6643,
Which H834 is at the head H7218 of the [fn]fertile H8081 valley H1516,
Will be like the first-ripe H1063 fig H1063 prior H2962 to the summer H7019,
Which H834 [fn]one sees H7200,
And [fn]as soon H5750 as it is in his [fn]hand H3709,
He swallows H1104 it.
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.
It will be as when H834 a hungry H7457 person H7457 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is eating H398;
But when he awakens H6974, his [fn]hunger H5315 is not satisfied H7386,
Or as when H834 a thirsty H6771 person H6771 dreams H2492—
And behold H2009, he is drinking H8354,
But when he awakens H6974, behold H2009, he is faint H5889
And his [fn]thirst H5315 is not quenched H8264.
So H3651 will the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 be
Who wage H6633 war H6633 against H5921 Mount H2022 Zion H6726.
The entire H3605 vision H2380 will be to you like the words H1697 of a sealed H2856 [fn]book H5612, which H834, when they give H5414 it to the one who [fn]is literate H3045 H5612, saying H559, “Please H4994 read H7121 this H2088,” he will say H559, “I cannot H3201 H3808, because H3588 it is sealed H2856.”
You turn H2016 things around H2016!
Shall the potter H3335 be considered H2803 [fn]as equal with the clay H2563,
That what H4639 is made H4639 would say H559 to its maker H6213, “He did not make H6213 me”;
Or what H3336 is formed H3335 say H559 to him who formed H3335 it, “He has no H3808 understanding H995”?
For [fn]Topheth H8613 has long H865 been ready H6186,
Indeed H1571, it has been prepared H3559 for the king H4428.
He has made H6009 it deep H6009 and large H7337,
[fn]A pyre H4071 of fire H784 with plenty H7235 of wood H6086;
The breath H5397 of the LORD H3068, like a torrent H5158 of brimstone H1614, sets H1197 it afire H1197.
Woe H1945 to you, destroyer H7703,
While you were not destroyed H7703;
And he who is treacherous H898, while others did not deal H898 treacherously H898 with him.
As soon as you finish H8552 destroying H7703, you will be destroyed H7703;
As soon as you cease H3615 to deal H898 treacherously H898, others will deal H898 treacherously H898 with you.
“Therefore their inhabitants H3427 were [fn]powerless H7116 H3027,
They were shattered H2865 and put H954 to H954 shame H954;
They were like the vegetation H6212 of the field H7704 and the green H3419 grass H1877,
Like grass H2682 on the housetops H1406 [fn]that is scorched H7710 before H6440 it has grown H7054.
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 have they been planted H5193,
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 have they been sown H2232,
[fn]Scarcely H1077 H637 has their stock H1503 taken H8327 root H8327 in the earth H776,
But He merely H1571 blows H5398 on them, and they wither H3001,
And the storm H5591 carries H5375 them away like stubble H7179.
“Woe H1945 to the one who quarrels H7378 with [fn]his Maker H3335—
A piece H2789 of H2789 pottery H2789 [fn]among H854 the other earthenware H127 pottery H2789 pieces H2789!
Will the clay H2563 say H559 to the [fn]potter H3335, ‘What H4100 are you doing H6213?'
Or the thing H6467 you are making H6467 say, ‘He has H369 no H369 hands H3027'?
“I will feed H398 your oppressors H3238 with their own flesh H1320,
And they will become H7937 drunk H7937 with their own blood H1818 as with sweet H6071 wine H6071;
And [fn]humanity H1320 will know H3045 that I, the LORD H3068, am your Savior H3467
And your Redeemer H1350, the Mighty H46 One H46 of Jacob H3290.”
“Raise 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 the same H3644 way H3651.
“But the one who slaughters H7819 an ox H7794 is like one who kills H5221 a person H376;
The one who sacrifices H2076 a lamb H7716 is like one who breaks H6202 a dog's H3611 neck H6202;
One who offers H5927 a grain offering H4503 is like one who offers pig's H2386 blood H1818;
One who [fn]burns H2142 incense H3828 is like one who blesses H1288 an idol H205.
As they have chosen H977 their own ways H1870,
And their souls H5315 delight H2654 in their abominations H8251,
For this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559: “Behold H2009, I extend H5186 peace H7965 to her like a river H5104,
And the glory H3519 of the nations H1471 like an overflowing H7857 stream H5158;
And you will [fn]be nursed H3243, you will be carried H5375 on the [fn]hip H6654 and rocked H8173 back H8173 and H8173 forth H8173 on the knees H1290.
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.”
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!”
“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.
I will rejoice H7797 greatly H7797 in the LORD H3068,
My soul H5315 will be H1523 joyful 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 groom H2860 puts H3547 on H3547 a turban H6287,
And as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels H3627.
