For so ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 spoke ^H559 to me [fn]with mighty ^H2393 power ^H3027 and instructed ^H3256 me not to walk ^H1980 in the way ^H1870 of this ^H2088 people ^H5971, saying ^H559,

Yet it does not so ^H3651 intend ^H1819,

Nor ^H3808 does [fn]it plan ^H2803 so ^H3651 in its heart ^H3824,

But rather ^H3588 it is [fn]its purpose ^H3824 to destroy ^H8045

And to eliminate ^H3772 [fn]many ^H3808 H4592 nations ^H1471.

“You will not be united ^H3161 with them in burial ^H6900,

Because ^H3588 you have ruined ^H7843 your country ^H776,

You have killed ^H2026 your people ^H5971.

May the descendants ^H2233 of evildoers ^H7489 never ^H3808 H5769 be mentioned ^H7121.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the abundance ^H3502 which they have acquired ^H6213 and stored ^H6486 up,

They carry ^H5375 it off over ^H5921 the brook ^H5158 of [fn]Arabim ^H6155.

We have heard ^H8085 of the pride ^H1347 of Moab ^H4124, an excessive ^H3966 pride ^H1343;

Even of his arrogance ^H1346, pride ^H1347, and fury ^H5678;

His idle ^H907 boasts ^H907 are [fn]false ^H3808 H3651.

Oh ^H1945, the uproar ^H1995 of many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971

Who roar ^H1993 like the roaring ^H1993 of the seas ^H3220,

And the rumbling ^H7588 of nations ^H3816

Who rush ^H7582 on like the rumbling ^H7588 of mighty ^H3524 waters ^H4325!

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 has told ^H559 me:

“I will quietly ^H8252 look ^H5027 [fn]from My dwelling ^H4349 place ^H4349

Like dazzling ^H6703 heat ^H2527 in the [fn]sunshine ^H216,

Like a cloud ^H5645 of dew ^H2919 in the heat ^H2527 of harvest ^H7105.”

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 says ^H559 to me:

“Go ^H1980, station ^H5975 the lookout ^H6822, have him report ^H5046 what ^H834 he sees ^H7200.

For so ^H3541 it will be in the midst ^H7130 of the earth ^H776 among ^H8432 the peoples ^H5971,

As the [fn]shaking ^H5363 of an olive ^H2132 tree ^H2132,

As the gleanings ^H5955 when ^H518 the grape ^H1210 harvest ^H1210 is ^H3615 over ^H3615.

As the pregnant ^H2030 woman ^H2030 approaches ^H7126 the time to give ^H3205 birth ^H3205,

She writhes ^H2342 and cries ^H2199 out ^H2199 in her labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256;

This ^H3651 is ^H3651 how ^H3651 we were before ^H4480 H6440 You, LORD ^H3068.

Like the striking ^H5221 of Him who has struck ^H5221 them, has He struck ^H5221 them?

Or ^H518 like the slaughter ^H4347 of His slain ^H2026, [fn]have they been slain ^H2026?

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Behold ^H2009, I am laying ^H3245 a stone ^H68 in Zion ^H6726, a tested ^H976 stone ^H68,

A precious ^H3368 cornerstone ^H6438 for the foundation ^H4143, [fn]firmly ^H3245 placed ^H3245.

The one who believes ^H539 in it will not be [fn]disturbed ^H2363.

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.

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 says ^H559:

“Since ^H3282 you have rejected ^H3988 this ^H2088 word ^H1697

And have put ^H982 your trust ^H982 in oppression ^H6233 and crookedness ^H3868, and have relied ^H8172 on them,

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 to me:

“As the lion ^H738 or the young ^H3715 lion ^H3715 growls ^H1897 over ^H5921 his prey ^H2964,

Against ^H5921 which ^H834 a band ^H4393 of shepherds ^H7462 is called ^H7121 out ^H7121,

And he will not be terrified ^H2865 at their voice ^H6963 nor ^H3808 disturbed ^H6031 at their noise ^H1995,

So ^H3651 will the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635 come ^H3381 down ^H3381 to wage ^H6633 war ^H6633 on Mount ^H2022 Zion ^H6726 and on its hill ^H1389.”

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.

“I composed ^H7737 my soul until ^H5704 morning ^H1242.

Like a lion ^H738—so ^H3651 He breaks ^H7665 all ^H3605 my bones ^H6106,

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

“I have put ^H5782 one from the north ^H6828 into ^H5782 motion ^H5782, and he has come ^H857;

From the rising ^H4217 of the sun ^H8121 he will call ^H7121 on My name ^H8034;

And he will come ^H935 upon rulers ^H5461 as upon [fn]mortar ^H2563,

As the potter ^H3335 treads ^H7429 on ^H7429 clay ^H2563.”

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 God ^H410 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559,

Who created ^H1254 the heavens ^H8064 and stretched ^H5186 them out ^H5186,

Who spread ^H7554 out ^H7554 the earth ^H776 and its [fn]offspring ^H6631,

Who gives ^H5414 breath ^H5397 to the people ^H5971 on it

And spirit ^H7307 to those who walk ^H1980 in it:

But now ^H6258, this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, He who is your Creator ^H1254, Jacob ^H3290,

And He who formed ^H3335 you, Israel ^H3478:

“Do not fear ^H3372, for I have redeemed ^H1350 you;

I have called ^H7121 you by name ^H8034; you are Mine!

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, He who made ^H6213 you

And formed ^H3335 you from the womb ^H990, who will help ^H5826 you:

‘Do not fear ^H3372, Jacob ^H3290 My servant ^H5650,

And [fn]Jeshurun ^H3484, whom I have chosen ^H977.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 to Cyrus ^H3566 His anointed ^H4899,

Whom ^H834 I have taken ^H2388 by the right ^H3225 hand ^H3225,

To subdue ^H7286 nations ^H1471 before ^H6440 him

And [fn]to undo ^H6605 the weapons belt on the waist ^H4975 of kings ^H4428;

To open ^H6605 doors ^H1817 before ^H6440 him so that gates ^H8179 will not be shut ^H5462:

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, He who is your Redeemer ^H1350, the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478:

“I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430, who teaches ^H3925 you to benefit ^H3276,

Who leads ^H1869 you in the way ^H1870 you should go ^H1980.

And now ^H6258 says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068, who formed ^H3335 Me from the womb ^H990 to be His Servant ^H5650,

To bring ^H7725 Jacob ^H3290 back ^H7725 to Him, so that Israel ^H3478 might be gathered ^H622 to Him

(For I am honored ^H3513 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068,

And My God ^H430 is My strength ^H5797),

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Where ^H335 is the certificate ^H5612 of divorce ^H3748

By which ^H834 I have sent ^H7971 your mother ^H517 away ^H7971?

Or ^H176 to whom ^H4310 of My creditors ^H5383 did I sell ^H4376 you?

Behold ^H2005, you were sold ^H4376 for your wrongdoings ^H5771,

And for your wrongful ^H6588 acts ^H6588 your mother ^H517 was sent ^H7971 away ^H7971.
