What hast thou here?

hewed thee out a
sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a
sepulchre on high,

and cut your resting place in the rock?

hire,

and maketh it waste,
and turneth it
upside down,
and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface
and scatter its inhabitants—

maid, so with her
mistress; as with the

snare: for the windows from on high are open,
and the foundations of the earth do
shake.

and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the
snare. For the windows of heaven are open,
and the foundations of the earth are
shaken.

reel to
and fro like a
drunkard,
and shall be removed like a
cottage;

transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it;

drunkard and sways like a
shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down,
and it falls, never to rise again.

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people,
and the
vail that is spread over all nations.

shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;

swallow up death in victory;
and the Lord GOD will
wipe away tears from off all faces;
and the
rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth. For the LORD has spoken.

trodden into the dung pile.

swim. His pride will be brought low,

and be
ashamed for their
envy at the people;
yea, the fire of thine enemies shall
devour them.

and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will
consume them!

Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her

dew is like the
dew of the morning,
and the earth will bring forth her dead.

yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.

I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any
hurt it, I will keep it night
and day.
I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night
and day so no one can
disturb it;
Fury is not in me: who would set the briers
and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

angry. If only thorns
and briers
confronted Me, I would march
and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.

purged;

sunder, the groves
and images shall not stand up.
Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be
atoned for,
and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like
crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
Yet the defenced city shall be
desolate,
and the
habitation forsaken,
and left like a wilderness: there shall the
calf feed,
and there shall he lie down,
and consume the branches thereof.
For the fortified city lies deserted— a
homestead abandoned, a wilderness
forsaken. There the
calves graze,
and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
When the boughs thereof are
withered, they shall be broken off: the women come,
and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them,
and he that formed them will
shew them no favour.
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come
and use them for
kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no
compassion on them,
and their
Creator shows them no favor.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,
and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.

trumpet shall be
blown,

and the outcasts in the land of Egypt,

and strong one, which as a
tempest of
hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

and mighty. Like a
hailstorm or destructive
tempest, like a driving rain or flooding
downpour, he will
smash that crown to the ground.
And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a
fading flower,
and as the
hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it
seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
The
fading flower of his beautiful
splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest:
Whoever sees it will take it in his hand
and swallow it.
In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory,
and for a
diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a
diadem of
splendor to the
remnant of His people,
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

and a strength to those who
repel the
onslaught at the gate.
But they also have
erred through wine,
and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest
and the prophet have
erred through strong drink, they are
swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they
err in vision, they
stumble in judgment.
For all tables are full of
vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

vomit; there is not a place without
filth.
Whom shall he teach knowledge?
and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are
weaned from the milk,
and drawn from the breasts.
Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just
weaned from milk? To
babies removed from the breast?
For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
For with
stammering lips
and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Indeed, with
mocking lips
and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
To whom he said, This is the rest
wherewith ye may cause the
weary to rest;
and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the
weary rest; this is the place of
repose.” But they would not
listen.
But the word of the LORD was unto them
precept upon
precept,
precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and there a little; that they might go,
and fall backward,
and be broken,
and snared,
and taken.
Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go
stumbling backward
and will be injured, ensnared,
and captured.
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death,
and with
hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing
scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge,
and under
falsehood have we
hid ourselves:
For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with
Sheol. When the
overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge
and falsehood our hiding place.”
Judgment also will I lay to the line,
and righteousness to the
plummet:
and the
hail shall
sweep away the refuge of lies,
and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the level.
Hail will
sweep away your refuge of lies,
and water will flood your hiding place.
And your covenant with death shall be
disannulled,
and your agreement with
hell shall not stand; when the overflowing
scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be
trodden down by it.
Your covenant with death will be dissolved,
and your agreement with
Sheol will not stand. When the
overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be
trampled by it.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day
and by night:
and it shall be a
vexation only to understand the report.
As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will
sweep through morning after morning, by day
and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it:
and the covering narrower than that he can
wrap himself in it.
Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and the
blanket too small to
wrap around you.
For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be
wroth as in the valley of
Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work;
and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim. He will
rouse Himself as in the Valley of
Gibeon, to do His work, His strange work,
and to perform His task, His
disturbing task.
Give ye ear,
and hear my voice;
hearken,
and hear my speech.
Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention
and hear what I say.
