LXX Concordance for ὥσπερ

Then he [fn]had ^H2492 still ^H5750 another ^H312 dream ^H2472 and recounted ^H5608 it to his brothers ^H251 and said ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, I have [fn]had ^H2492 still ^H5750 another dream ^H2472; and behold ^H2009, the sun ^H8121 and the moon ^H3394 and eleven ^H259 H6240 stars ^H3556 were bowing ^H2331 down ^H2331 to me.”

“And if ^H3588 a man ^H376 sells ^H4376 his daughter ^H1323 as a female ^H519 slave ^H519, she is not to [fn]go ^H3318 free ^H3318 as the male ^H5650 slaves ^H5650 [fn]do ^H3318.

but the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 is a sabbath ^H7676 of Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430; in it you shall not do ^H6213 any ^H3605 work ^H4399, you or your son ^H1121 or your daughter ^H1323 or your male ^H5650 slave ^H5650 or your female ^H519 slave ^H519 or your ox ^H7794 or your donkey ^H2543 or any ^H3605 of your cattle ^H929 or your sojourner ^H1616 who ^H834 is within your gates ^H8179, so ^H4616 that your male ^H5650 slave ^H5650 and your female ^H519 slave ^H519 may rest ^H5117 as well as you.

“At that time ^H6256 Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, ‘Carve ^H6458 out ^H6458 for yourself two ^H8147 tablets ^H3871 of stone ^H68 like the former ^H7223 ones ^H7223, and come ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Me on the mountain ^H2022, and make ^H6213 an ark ^H727 of wood ^H6086 for yourself.

“There ^H369 is ^H369 none ^H369 like the God ^H410 of [fn]Jeshurun ^H3484,

Who rides ^H7392 the heavens ^H8064 [fn]to your help ^H5828,

And through the skies ^H7834 in His majesty ^H1346.

On that day ^H3117, Yahweh ^H3068 magnified ^H1431 Joshua ^H3091 in the sight ^H5869 of all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478, so that they [fn]feared ^H3372 him, just ^H834 as they had [fn]feared ^H3372 Moses ^H4872 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of his life ^H2416.

“But the vile ^H1100 men, every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of them will be thrust ^H5074 away ^H5074 like thorns ^H6975,

Because ^H3588 they cannot ^H3808 be taken ^H3947 in hand ^H3027;

“Or ^H176 why was I not like a miscarriage ^H5309 hidden ^H2934 away ^H2934,

As infants ^H5768 that never ^H3808 saw ^H7200 light ^H216?

Who [fn]long ^H2442 for death ^H4194, but there ^H369 is ^H369 none ^H369,

And dig ^H2658 for it more ^H4480 than ^H4480 for hidden ^H4301 treasures ^H4301,

“You will know ^H3045 also that your seed ^H2233 will be many ^H7227,

And your offspring ^H6631 as the vegetation ^H6212 of the land ^H776.

“My soul ^H5315 refuses ^H3985 to touch ^H5060 them;

They are like loathsome ^H1741 food ^H3899 to me.

“My brothers ^H251 have betrayed ^H898 me like ^H3644 a [fn]wadi ^H5158,

Like the torrents ^H650 of [fn]wadis ^H5158 which pass ^H5674 away ^H5674,

“[fn]Is not man ^H582 conscripted ^H6635 to ^H6635 labor ^H6635 on earth ^H776,

And are not his days ^H3117 like the days ^H3117 of a hired ^H7916 man ^H7916?

“A cloud ^H6051 vanishes ^H3615, and it is gone ^H1980,

So ^H3651 he who goes ^H3381 down ^H3381 to Sheol ^H7585 does not come ^H5927 up ^H5927.

‘Have You eyes ^H5869 of flesh ^H1320?

Or ^H518 do You see ^H7200 as a mortal ^H582 man ^H582 sees ^H7200?

‘Did You not pour ^H5413 me out ^H5413 like milk ^H2461

And curdle ^H7087 me like cheese ^H1385,

‘Should my head be set ^H1342 on high ^H1342, You would hunt ^H6679 me like a lion ^H7826;

And again ^H7725 You would show ^H6381 Your wonders ^H6381 against me.

‘I should have been ^H1961 as though ^H834 I had not been ^H1961,

Carried ^H2986 from womb ^H990 to tomb ^H6913.'

Then ^H227, indeed ^H3588, you could lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 your face ^H6440 without ^H4480 moral defect ^H3971,

And you would be steadfast ^H3332 and not fear ^H3372.

“They grope ^H4959 in darkness ^H2822 with no ^H3808 light ^H216,

And He makes them wander ^H8582 about ^H8582 like a drunken ^H7910 man ^H7910.

While [fn]I am ^H1086 decaying ^H1086 like a rotten ^H7538 thing ^H7538,

Like a garment ^H899 that is moth-eaten ^H6211 H398.

“Like a flower ^H6731 he comes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 and withers ^H4448.

He also flees ^H1272 like a shadow ^H6738 and does not stand ^H5975.

“Turn ^H8159 Your gaze ^H8159 from him that he may cease ^H2308 from toil,

Until ^H5704 he accepts ^H7521 his day ^H3117 like a hired ^H7916 man ^H7916.

At the scent ^H7381 of water ^H4325 it will flourish ^H6524

And put ^H6213 forth ^H6213 sprigs ^H7105 like ^H3644 a plant ^H5194.

“Distress ^H6862 and anguish ^H4691 terrify ^H1204 him;

They overpower ^H8630 him like a king ^H4428 ready ^H6264 for the attack ^H3593,

“He will drop ^H2554 off ^H2554 his unripe ^H1155 grape ^H1155 like the vine ^H1612,

And will cast ^H7993 off ^H7993 his flower ^H5328 like the olive ^H2132 tree ^H2132.

“I was at ease ^H7961, but He shattered ^H6565 me,

And He has grasped ^H270 me by the neck ^H6203 and shaken ^H6327 me to ^H6327 pieces ^H6327;

He has also set ^H6965 me up ^H6965 as His target ^H4307.

“Why ^H4069 are we regarded ^H2803 as beasts ^H929,

As dense ^H2933 in your eyes ^H5869?

“He breaks ^H5422 me down ^H5422 on every ^H5439 side ^H5439, and I am gone ^H1980;

And He has uprooted ^H5265 my hope ^H8615 like a tree ^H6086.

“Why ^H4100 do you persecute ^H7291 me as God ^H410 does,

And are ^H7646 not satisfied ^H7646 with my flesh ^H1320?

“He flies ^H5774 away ^H5774 like a dream ^H2472, and they cannot ^H3808 find ^H4672 him;

Even like a vision ^H2384 of the night ^H3915 he is chased ^H5074 away ^H5074.

“He returns ^H7725 what ^H3022 he has ^H3022 attained ^H3022

And cannot ^H3808 swallow ^H1104 it;

As to the wealth ^H2428 of his trading ^H8545,

He cannot ^H3808 even enjoy ^H5965 it.

“Are they as straw ^H8401 before ^H6440 the wind ^H7307,

And like chaff ^H4671 which the storm ^H5492 steals ^H1589 away ^H1589?

Then [fn]the Almighty ^H7706 will be your [fn]gold ^H1220

And choice ^H8443 silver ^H3701 to you.

“But He knows ^H3045 the [fn]way ^H1870 I take ^H5973;

When He has tested ^H974 me, I shall come ^H3318 forth ^H3318 as gold ^H2091.

“Behold ^H2005, as wild ^H6501 donkeys ^H6501 in the wilderness ^H4057

They go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 seeking ^H7836 food ^H2964 earnestly ^H7836 in their work ^H6467,

The desert ^H6160 becomes [fn]for him a place of bread ^H3899 for his young ^H5288 ones ^H5288.

“A [fn]mother ^H7358 will forget ^H7911 him;

The worm ^H7415 feasts ^H4985 sweetly ^H4985 till he is no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 remembered ^H2142.

And unrighteousness ^H5766 will be broken ^H7665 like a tree ^H6086.

“They are exalted ^H7426 a little ^H4592 while ^H4592, then they are ^H369 gone ^H369;

Moreover, they are brought ^H4355 low ^H4355 and like everything ^H3605 gathered ^H7092 up;

Even like the heads ^H7218 of grain ^H7641 they are cut ^H4448 off ^H4448.

“May my enemy ^H340 be as the wicked ^H7563

And the one who rises ^H6965 against me as the unjust ^H5767.

“Though ^H518 he piles ^H6651 up ^H6651 silver ^H3701 like dust ^H6083

And prepares ^H3559 garments ^H4403 as plentiful as the clay ^H2563,

“He has built ^H1129 his house ^H1004 like the [fn]moth,

Or as a hut ^H5521 which the watchman ^H5341 has made ^H6213.

“Terrors ^H1091 overtake ^H5381 him like many waters ^H4325;

A tempest ^H5492 steals ^H1589 him away ^H1589 in the night ^H3915.

“Then I [fn]said ^H559, ‘I will breathe ^H1478 my last ^H1478 [fn]in my nest ^H7064,

And I shall multiply ^H7235 my days ^H3117 as the sand ^H2344.

“They waited ^H3176 for me as for the rain ^H4306,

And opened ^H6473 their mouth ^H6310 as for the [fn]late ^H4456 rain ^H4456.

“Terrors ^H1091 are turned ^H2015 against ^H5921 me;

They pursue ^H7291 my nobility ^H5082 as the wind ^H7307,

And my hope for salvation ^H3444 has passed ^H5674 away ^H5674 like a cloud ^H5645.

“By a great ^H7230 force ^H3581 my garment ^H3830 is distorted ^H2664;

It seizes ^H247 me about as the collar ^H6310 of my tunic ^H3801.

“Behold ^H2009, my belly ^H990 is like unvented wine ^H3196, not ^H3808 opened ^H6605;

Like new ^H2319 wineskins ^H178 it is about to burst ^H1234.

‘Behold ^H2005, He finds ^H4672 reasons for opposition ^H8569 against ^H5921 me;

He counts ^H2803 me as His enemy ^H340.

Then let him be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to him, and say ^H559,

‘Deliver ^H6308 him from going ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the pit ^H7845;

I have found ^H4672 atonement ^H3724';

“What ^H4310 man ^H1397 is like Job ^H347,

Who ^H4310 drinks ^H8354 up ^H8354 mocking ^H3933 like water ^H4325,

‘Job ^H347 ought ^H15 to be tested ^H974 [fn]to the limit ^H5331

Because ^H5921 he answers ^H8666 like wicked ^H205 men ^H376.

“So now ^H6258 [fn]men do not see ^H7200 the light ^H216 which ^H1931 is bright ^H925 in the skies ^H7834;

But the wind ^H7307 has passed ^H5674 and cleared ^H2891 them.

“Now ^H4994 gird ^H247 up ^H247 your loins ^H2504 like a man ^H1397,

And I will ask ^H7592 you, and you make Me know ^H3045!

“Water ^H4325 [fn]becomes ^H2244 hard ^H2244 like stone ^H68,

And the surface ^H6440 of the deep ^H8415 [fn]is interlocked ^H3920.

When the dust ^H6083 hardens ^H3332 into a mass ^H4165

And the clods ^H7263 stick ^H1692 together ^H1692?

“Now ^H4994 gird ^H247 up ^H247 your loins ^H2504 like a man ^H1397;

I will ask ^H7592 you, and you make Me know ^H3045.

“Will you play ^H7832 with it as with a bird ^H6833,

Or will you bind ^H7194 it for your young ^H5291 women ^H5291?

“Its [fn]strong ^H0650 scales ^H4043 are its pride ^H1346,

Shut ^H5462 up ^H5462 as with a tight ^H6862 seal ^H2368.

“Its heart ^H3820 is as hard ^H3332 as a stone ^H68,

Even as hard ^H3332 as a lower ^H8482 millstone ^H6400.

“It regards ^H2803 iron ^H1270 as straw ^H8401,

Bronze ^H5154 as rotten ^H7539 wood ^H6086.

“Its underparts ^H8478 are like sharp ^H2303 potsherds ^H2789;

It [fn]spreads ^H7502 out ^H7502 like a threshing ^H2742 sledge ^H2742 on the mire ^H2916.

Now it happened ^H1961 after ^H310 Yahweh ^H3068 had spoken ^H1696 these ^H428 words ^H1697 to Job ^H347, that Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to Eliphaz ^H464 the Temanite ^H8489, “My anger ^H639 burns ^H2734 against you and against your two ^H8147 friends ^H7453 because ^H3588 you have not spoken ^H1696 of Me what is ^H3559 right ^H3559 as My servant ^H5650 Job ^H347 has.

Let us swallow ^H1104 them alive ^H2416 like Sheol ^H7585,

And whole ^H8549, as those who go ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the pit ^H953;

Deliver ^H5337 yourself like a gazelle ^H6643 from the hunter's hand ^H3027

And like a bird ^H6833 from the hand ^H3027 of the fowler ^H3353.

Your poverty ^H7389 will come ^H935 in ^H935 like [fn]a vagabond ^H1980

And your want ^H4270 like [fn]an armed ^H4043 man ^H376.

Keep ^H8104 my commandments ^H4687 and live ^H2421,

And my [fn]law ^H8451 as the [fn]apple ^H380 of your eye ^H5869.

He suddenly ^H6597 follows ^H1980 H310 her

As an ox ^H7794 goes ^H935 to the slaughter ^H2874,

Or [fn]as one in fetters ^H5914 to the discipline ^H4148 of an ignorant ^H191 fool ^H191,

Like vinegar ^H2558 to the teeth ^H8127 and like smoke ^H6227 to the eyes ^H5869,

So ^H3651 is the sluggard ^H6102 to those who send ^H7971 him.

Where there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 guidance ^H8458 the people ^H5971 fall ^H5307,

But in abundance ^H7230 of counselors ^H3289 there is salvation ^H8668.

As a ring ^H5141 of gold ^H2091 in a swine's ^H2386 snout ^H639

So is a beautiful ^H3303 woman ^H802 who turns ^H5493 away ^H5493 from [fn]discretion ^H2940.

[fn]An excellent ^H2428 wife ^H802 is the crown ^H5850 of her husband ^H1167,

But she who causes shame ^H954 is like rottenness ^H7538 in his bones ^H6106.

In the light ^H216 of a king's ^H4428 face ^H6440 is life ^H2416,

And his favor ^H7522 is like a cloud ^H5645 with the [fn]late ^H4456 rain ^H4456.

The refining ^H4715 pot ^H4715 is for silver ^H3701 and the furnace ^H3564 for gold ^H2091,

But Yahweh ^H3068 tests ^H974 hearts ^H3820.

A brother ^H251 offended ^H6586 is harder to win over than ^H4480 a strong ^H5797 city ^H7151,

And contentions ^H4066 are like the bars ^H1280 of a citadel ^H759.

The king's ^H4428 wrath ^H2197 is like the roaring ^H5099 of a lion ^H3715,

But his favor ^H7522 is like dew ^H2919 on the grass ^H6212.

The king's ^H4428 heart ^H3820 is like channels ^H6388 of water ^H4325 in the hand ^H3027 of Yahweh ^H3068;

He turns ^H5186 it wherever ^{H5921 H3605 H834} He pleases ^H2654.

Do you make your eyes ^H5869 fly ^H5774 up to see it? But it is not ^H369 there!

Because it certainly ^H6213 makes ^H6213 itself wings ^H3671

Like an eagle ^H5404 that flies ^H5774 toward the heavens ^H8064.

At the end ^H319—like a serpent ^H5175 it bites ^H5391,

And like a viper ^H6848 it stings ^H6567.

And you will be like one who lies ^H7901 down ^H7901 in the heart ^H3820 of the sea ^H3220,

Or like one who lies ^H7901 down ^H7901 on the top ^H7218 of a [fn]mast ^H2260.

For suddenly ^H6597 their disaster ^H343 will rise ^H6965,

And who ^H4310 knows ^H3045 the upheaval ^H6365 that comes from both ^H8147 of them?

I passed ^H5674 by the field ^H7704 of the sluggard ^H6102

And by the vineyard ^H3754 of the man ^H120 lacking ^H2638 a heart ^H3820 of wisdom,

Then your poverty ^H7389 will come ^H935 as [fn]a robber ^H1980

And your want ^H4270 like [fn]an armed ^H4043 man ^H376.

Like the cold ^H6793 of snow ^H7950 in the [fn]time ^H3117 of harvest ^H7105

Is a faithful ^H539 envoy ^H6735 to those who send ^H7971 him,

For he refreshes ^H7725 the soul ^H5315 of his masters ^H113.

Like one who takes ^H5710 off ^H5710 a garment ^H899 on a cold ^H7135 day ^H3117, or like vinegar ^H2558 on [fn]soda ^H5427,

Is he who sings ^H7891 songs ^H7892 to [fn]an aching ^H7451 heart ^H3820.

Like cold ^H7119 water ^H4325 to a weary ^H5889 soul ^H5315,

So is a good ^H2896 report ^H8052 from a distant ^H4801 land ^H776.

Like a city ^H5892 that is broken ^H6555 into ^H6555 and without ^H369 a wall ^H2346

Is a man ^H376 without ^H369 restraint ^H4623 over his spirit ^H7307.

Like snow ^H7950 in summer ^H7019 and like rain ^H4306 in harvest ^H7105,

So ^H3651 glory ^H3519 is not fitting ^H5000 for a fool ^H3684.

Like a dog ^H3611 that returns ^H7725 to its vomit ^H6892

Is a fool ^H3684 who repeats ^H8138 [fn]his folly ^H200.

As the door ^H1817 turns ^H5437 on its hinges ^H6735,

So does the sluggard ^H6102 on his bed ^H4296.

Like one who seizes ^H2388 a dog ^H3611 by the ears ^H241

Is he who passes ^H5674 by ^H5674 and becomes passionate ^H5674 about strife ^H7379 not belonging to him.

Like an earthen ^H2789 vessel ^H2789 overlaid ^H6823 with silver ^H3701 dross ^H5509

Are fiery ^H1814 lips ^H8193 and an evil ^H7451 heart ^H3820.

Like a bird ^H6833 that wanders ^H5074 from her nest ^H7064,

So ^H3651 is a man ^H376 who wanders ^H5074 from his place ^H4725.

As in water ^H4325 face ^H6440 reflects face ^H6440,

So ^H3651 the heart ^H3820 of man ^H120 reflects man ^H120.

The wicked ^H7563 flee ^H5127 when there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 pursuing ^H7291,

But the righteous ^H6662 are ^H982 [fn]secure ^H982 as a lion ^H3715.

A poor ^H7326 man ^H1397 who oppresses ^H6231 the lowly ^H1800

Is a driving ^H5502 rain ^H4306 [fn]which leaves ^H369 no ^H369 food ^H3899.

“They will all ^H3605 answer ^H6030 and say ^H559 to you,

‘Even ^H1571 you have been made ^H2470 weak ^H2470 as we,

You have become ^H4911 like ^H4911 us.

Therefore ^H3651 through this ^H2088, Jacob's ^H3290 iniquity ^H5771 will be atoned ^H3722 for;

And this ^H2088 will be the whole ^H3605 fruit ^H6529 of the turning ^H5493 away ^H5493 of his sin ^H2403:

When he makes ^H7760 all ^H3605 the altar ^H4196 stones ^H68 like pulverized ^H5310 chalk ^H1615 stones ^H68,

When [fn]Asherim ^H842 and incense ^H2553 altars ^H2553 will not stand ^H6965.

For Yahweh ^H3068 will rise ^H6965 up ^H6965 as at Mount ^H2022 Perazim ^H6559;

He will be stirred ^H7264 up ^H7264 as in the valley ^H6010 of Gibeon ^H1391,

To work ^H6213 His work ^H4639, His [fn]unusual ^H2114 work ^H4639,

And to labor ^H5647 in His labor ^H5656, His [fn]exceptional ^H5237 labor ^H5656.

“Like a shepherd's ^H7473 tent ^H168 my dwelling ^H1755 is pulled ^H5265 up ^H5265 and removed ^H1540 from me;

As a weaver ^H707 I rolled ^H7088 up my life ^H2416.

He cuts ^H1214 me off ^H1214 from the loom ^H1803;

From day ^H3117 until ^H5704 night ^H3915 You make ^H7999 an end ^H7999 of me.

‘Who ^H4310 is like ^H3644 Me? Let him call ^H7121 out ^H7121 and declare ^H5046 it;

And let him tell ^H6186 it to Me in ^H6186 order ^H6186,

[fn]From the time that I established ^H7760 the ancient ^H5769 [fn]people ^H5971.

And let them declare ^H5046 to them the things ^H857 that are to come ^H857

And the events that are going to take ^H935 place ^H935.

“Lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 your eyes ^H5869 to the sky ^H8064,

Then look ^H5027 to the earth ^H776 beneath ^H4480 H8478;

For the sky ^H8064 will vanish ^H4414 like smoke ^H6227,

And the earth ^H776 will wear ^H1086 out ^H1086 like a garment ^H899,

And its inhabitants ^H3427 will die ^H4191 [fn]in like ^H3644 manner ^H3651;

But My salvation ^H3444 will be forever ^H5769,

And My righteousness ^H6666 will not be dismayed ^H2865.

“For the moth ^H6211 will eat ^H398 them like a garment ^H899,

And the grub ^H5580 will eat ^H398 them like wool ^H6785.

But My righteousness ^H6666 will be forever ^H5769,

And My salvation ^H3444 to all ^H1755 generations ^H1755.”

“For My thoughts ^H4284 are not your thoughts ^H4284,

Nor ^H3808 are your ways ^H1870 My ways ^H1870,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“Why ^H4100 are You like a man ^H376 confused ^H1724,

Like a mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 who cannot ^H3201 H3808 save ^H3467?

Yet You are in our midst ^H7130, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And we are called ^H7121 by Your name ^H8034;

Do not leave ^H5117 us!”

“Also among the prophets ^H5030 of Jerusalem ^H3389 I have seen ^H7200 an appalling ^H8186 thing ^H8186:

The committing ^H5003 of ^H5003 adultery ^H5003 and walking ^H1980 in lying ^H8267;

And they strengthen ^H2388 the hands ^H3027 of evildoers ^H7489,

So that no ^H1115 one ^H376 has turned ^H7725 back ^H7725 from his evil ^H7451.

All ^H3605 of them have become ^H1961 to Me like Sodom ^H5467,

And her inhabitants ^H3427 like Gomorrah ^H6017.

“Therefore you shall prophesy ^H5012 against ^H413 them all ^H3605 these ^H428 words ^H1697, and you shall say ^H559 to them,

‘Yahweh ^H3068 will roar ^H7580 from on high ^H4791

And give ^H5414 forth His voice ^H6963 from His holy ^H6944 habitation ^H4583;

He will roar ^H7580 mightily ^H7580 against ^H5921 His [fn]pasture ^H5116.

He will bellow ^H6030 a shout ^H1959 like those who tread ^H1869 the grapes,

Against ^H413 all ^H3605 the inhabitants ^H3427 of the earth ^H776.

“Wail ^H3213, you shepherds ^H7462, and cry ^H2199 out ^H2199;

And roll ^H6428 yourselves in ashes, you masters ^H117 of the flock ^H6629;

For the days ^H3117 of your slaughter ^H2873 and your scatterings ^H8600 are being fulfilled ^H4390,

And you will fall ^H5307 like a desirable ^H2532 vessel ^H3627.

“He has forsaken ^H5800 His hiding ^H5520 place ^H5520 like the lion ^H3715;

For their land ^H776 has become ^H1961 an object ^H8047 of horror ^H8047

Because ^H4480 H6440 of the burning ^H2740 desire of [fn]the oppressor ^H3238

And because ^H4480 H6440 of His burning ^H2740 anger ^H639.”

“They will come ^H935 and sing ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442 on the height ^H4791 of Zion ^H6726,

And they will be radiant ^H5102 over ^H413 the goodness ^H2898 of Yahweh ^H3068—

Over ^H5921 the grain ^H1715 and the new ^H8492 wine ^H8492 and the oil ^H3323,

And over ^H5921 the young ^H1121 of the flock ^H6629 and the herd ^H1241;

And their soul ^H5315 will be like a watered ^H7302 garden ^H1588,

And they will never ^H3808 H5750 waste ^H1669 away ^H1669 again ^H3254.

“I have surely ^H8085 heard ^H8085 Ephraim ^H669 grieving ^H5110,

‘You have chastised ^H3256 me, and I was chastised ^H3256,

Like an untrained ^H3808 H3925 calf ^H5695;

Cause ^H7725 me to return ^H7725 that I may return ^H7725,

For You are Yahweh ^H3068 my God ^H430.

“Also ^H1571 her mercenaries ^H7917 in her midst ^H7130

Are like [fn]fattened ^H4770 calves ^H5695,

For even ^H1571 they have turned ^H6437 back ^H6437 and have fled ^H5127 away together ^H3162;

They did not stand ^H5975 their ground.

For the day ^H3117 of their disaster ^H343 has come ^H935 upon them,

The time ^H6256 of their punishment ^H6486.

“Flee ^H5127, escape ^H4422 with your lives ^H5315,

That you may be like a juniper ^H6176 in the wilderness ^H4057.

“Therefore ^H5921 H3651 My heart ^H3820 moans ^H1993 for Moab ^H4124 like flutes ^H2485; My heart ^H3820 also moans ^H1993 like flutes ^H2485 for the men ^H376 of Kir-heres ^H7025. Therefore ^H5921 H3651 they have lost ^H6 the abundance ^H3502 it produced ^H6213.

“As for the terror ^H8606 of you,

The arrogance ^H2087 of your heart ^H3820 has deceived ^H5378 you,

O you who dwell ^H7931 in the clefts ^H2288 of [fn]the rock ^H5553,

Who seize ^H8610 the height ^H4791 of the hill ^H1389.

Though ^H3588 you make ^H1361 your nest ^H7064 as high ^H1361 as an eagle's ^H5404,

I will bring ^H3381 you down ^H3381 from there ^H8033,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“Wander ^H5110 away ^H5110 from the midst ^H8432 of Babylon ^H894

And [fn]go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 from the land ^H776 of the Chaldeans ^H3778;

Be also like male ^H6260 goats ^H6260 [fn]at the head ^H6440 of the flock ^H6629.

“They seize ^H2388 their bow ^H7198 and [fn]javelin ^H3591;

They are cruel ^H394 and have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355.

Their voice ^H6963 roars ^H1993 like the sea ^H3220;

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Arranged ^H6186 like a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

Against ^H5921 you, O daughter ^H1323 of Babylon ^H894.

“Behold ^H2009, one will come ^H5927 up ^H5927 like a lion ^H738 from the [fn]thicket ^H1347 of the Jordan ^H3383 to an enduring ^H386 pasture ^H5116; for in an instant ^H7280 I will make them run ^H7323 away ^H4480 from it, and whoever ^H4310 is chosen ^H977 I will appoint ^H6485 over ^H413 it. For who ^H4310 is like ^H3644 Me, and who ^H4310 will [fn]summon ^H3259 Me into court? And who ^H4310 then ^H2088 is the shepherd ^H7462 who ^H834 can stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 Me?”

Resh

“See ^H7200, O Yahweh ^H3068, for I am ^H6887 in ^H6887 distress ^H6887;

My [fn]inmost ^H4578 being ^H4578 is greatly ^H2560 disturbed ^H2560;

My heart ^H3820 is overturned ^H2015 within ^H7130 me,

For I have been very ^H4784 rebellious ^H4784.

In the street ^H2351 the sword ^H2719 bereaves ^H7921;

In the house ^H1004 it is like death ^H4194.

Vav

So the [fn]iniquity ^H5771 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971

Is greater ^H1431 than ^H4480 the [fn]sin ^H2403 of Sodom ^H5467,

Which was overthrown ^H2015 as in a moment ^H7281,

And no ^H3808 hands ^H3027 [fn]whirled ^H2342 toward her.

Heth

Their form ^H8389 is ^H2821 blacker ^H2821 than ^H4480 soot ^H7815;

They are not recognized ^H5234 in the streets ^H2351;

Their skin ^H5785 is shriveled ^H6821 on their bones ^H6106;

It is ^H3001 withered ^H3001, it has become ^H1961 like wood ^H6086.

The days ^H3117 of punishment ^H6486 have come ^H935;

The days ^H3117 of recompense ^H7966 have come ^H935;

[fn]Let Israel ^H3478 know ^H3045 this!

The prophet ^H5030 is an ignorant ^H191 fool ^H191,

The [fn]inspired ^H7307 man ^H376 has madness ^H7696,

Because ^H5921 of the abundance ^H7230 of your iniquity ^H5771

And because your hostility ^H4895 has abounded ^H7227.

Therefore ^H3651 they will be like the morning ^H1242 cloud ^H6051

And like dew ^H2919 which [fn]soon ^H7925 disappears ^H1980,

Like chaff ^H4671 which is blown ^H5590 away ^H5590 from the threshing ^H1637 floor ^H1637

And like smoke ^H6227 from a [fn]chimney ^H699.

Who ^H4310 is a God ^H410 like ^H3644 You, who forgives ^H5375 iniquity ^H5771

And passes ^H5674 over ^H5921 the transgression ^H6588 of the remnant ^H7611 of His inheritance ^H5159?

He does not hold ^H2388 fast ^H2388 to His anger ^H639 forever ^H5703

Because ^H3588 He delights ^H2654 in lovingkindness ^H2617.
