Lexicon :: Strong's H4616 - maʿan

“Their Redeemer ^H1350 is strong ^H2389, Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 is His name ^H8034;

He will vigorously ^H7378 plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379

So ^H4616 that He may bring ^H7280 relief ^H7280 to [fn]the earth ^H776,

But turmoil ^H7264 to the inhabitants ^H3427 of Babylon ^H894.

“When they become ^H2552 heated ^H2552 up, I will set ^H7896 before them their feast ^H4960

And make ^H7937 them drunk ^H7937, that they may exult ^H5937

And may sleep ^H3462 a perpetual ^H5769 sleep ^H8142

And not wake ^H3364 up,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

‘They put ^H5414 him in a cage ^H5474 with hooks ^H2397

And brought ^H935 him to the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894;

They brought ^H935 him in hunting ^H4685 nets ^H4685

So ^H4616 that his voice ^H6963 would be heard ^H8085 no ^H3808 more ^H5750

On the mountains ^H2022 of Israel ^H3478.

‘Sharpened ^H2300 to make ^H2873 a slaughter ^H2874,

Polished ^H4803 [fn]to flash ^H1300 like lightning ^H1300!’

Or ^H176 shall we [fn]rejoice ^H7797 in the [fn]scepter ^H7626 of My son ^H1121? The sword despises ^H3988 every ^H3605 tree ^H6086.

“Behold ^H2009, the princes ^H5387 of Israel ^H3478, each ^H376 according to his [fn]power ^H2220, have been ^H1961 in you for the purpose ^H4616 of shedding ^H8210 blood ^H1818.

“Then stand ^H5975 it empty ^H7386 on its coals ^H1513

So ^H4616 that it may be ^H2552 hot ^H2552

And its bronze ^H5178 may [fn]glow ^H2787

And its uncleanness ^H2932 may be melted ^H5413 in it,

Its rust ^H2457 brought ^H8552 to a complete ^H8552 end ^H8552.

They have set ^H4427 up ^H4427 kings ^H4427, but not by Me;

They have appointed ^H8323 princes ^H8323, but I did not know ^H3045 it.

With their silver ^H3701 and gold ^H2091 they have made ^H6213 idols ^H6091 for themselves,

That [fn]they might be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“For three ^H7969 transgressions ^H6588 of the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983 and for four ^H702

I will not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725 its punishment

Because ^H5921 they ripped ^H1234 open ^H1234 the pregnant ^H2030 women ^H2030 of Gilead ^H1568

In order ^H4616 to enlarge ^H7337 their borders ^H1366.

“These who [fn]pant ^H7602 after ^H5921 the very dust ^H6083 of the earth ^H776 on the head ^H7218 of the poor ^H1800

Also turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 the way ^H1870 of the humble ^H6035;

And a man ^H376 and his father ^H1 go ^H1980 to the same [fn]young ^H5291 woman ^H5291

In order ^H4616 to profane ^H2490 My holy ^H6944 name ^H8034.

Seek ^H1875 good ^H2896 and not evil ^H7451, in order that you may live ^H2421;

And thus ^H3651 may Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430 of hosts ^H6635 be with you,

Just ^H834 as you have said ^H559!

That they may possess ^H3423 the remnant ^H7611 of Edom ^H123

And all ^H3605 the [fn]nations ^H1471 who ^H834 are called ^H7121 by My name ^H8034,”

Declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068 who does ^H6213 this ^H2088.

“Then your mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368 will be ^H2865 dismayed ^H2865, O Teman ^H8487,

So that each ^H376 one may be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 from the mountain ^H2022 of Esau ^H6215 by slaughter ^H6993.

“My people ^H5971, remember ^H2142 now ^H4994

What ^H4100 Balak ^H1111 king ^H4428 of Moab ^H4124 counseled ^H3289

And what ^H4100 Balaam ^H1109 son ^H1121 of Beor ^H1160 answered ^H6030 him,

And from Shittim ^H7851 to Gilgal ^H1537,

So ^H4616 [fn]that you might know ^H3045 the righteous ^H6666 acts ^H6666 of Yahweh ^H3068.”

Then Yahweh ^H3068 answered ^H6030 me and said ^H559,

“Write ^H3789 down the vision ^H2377

And write ^H874 it on tablets ^H3871 distinctly ^H874,

That [fn]the one who [fn]reads ^H7121 it may run ^H7323.
