Yea, all Israel have
transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the
curse is poured upon us,
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have
sinned against him.
All Israel has
transgressed Your law
and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath
and the
curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have
sinned against You.
And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
You have carried out the words spoken against us
and against our rulers by bringing upon us a great
disaster. For under all of heaven, nothing has ever been done like what has been done to Jerusalem.
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our
iniquities,
and understand thy truth.
Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this
disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our
iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.
Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
Therefore the LORD has kept the
calamity in store
and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does; yet we have not obeyed His voice.
And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand,
and hast
gotten thee
renown, as at this day; we have
sinned, we have done wickedly.
Now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand,
and who made for
Yourself a name
renowned to this day, we have
sinned; we have acted wickedly.
O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I
beseech thee, let thine anger
and thy
fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins,
and for the
iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem
and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
O Lord, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, I pray that Your anger
and wrath may turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins
and the
iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem
and Your people are a reproach to all around us.
Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant,
and his supplications,
and cause thy face to
shine upon thy sanctuary that is
desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
So now, our God, hear the prayers
and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to
shine upon Your
desolate sanctuary.
O my God,
incline thine ear,
and hear; open thine eyes,
and behold our desolations,
and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great
mercies.
Incline Your ear, O my God,
and hear; open Your eyes
and see the
desolation of the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our petitions before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great
compassion.
O Lord, hear; O Lord,
forgive; O Lord,
hearken and do;
defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city
and thy people are called by thy name.
O Lord,
listen! O Lord,
forgive! O Lord, hear
and act! For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city
and Your people bear Your name.”
And whiles I was speaking,
and praying,
and confessing my sin
and the sin of my people Israel,
and presenting my
supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
While I was speaking, praying,
confessing my sin
and that of my people Israel,
and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
He
instructed me
and spoke with me, saying: “O Daniel, I have come now to give you insight
and understanding.
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth,
and I am come to
shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter,
and consider the vision.
At the beginning of your petitions, an answer went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly precious. So consider the message and understand the vision:
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people
and upon thy holy city, to finish the
transgression,
and to make an end of sins,
and to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
and to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision
and prophecy,
and to
anoint the most Holy.
Seventy weeks are decreed for your people
and your holy city to stop their
transgression, to put an end to sin, to make
atonement for iniquity, to bring in
everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision
and prophecy,
and to
anoint the Most Holy Place.
Know therefore
and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore
and to build Jerusalem unto the
Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,
and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again,
and the wall, even in
troublous times.
Know
and understand this: From the
issuance of the decree to restore
and rebuild Jerusalem, until the
Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven weeks
and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets
and a
trench, but in times of distress.
And after
threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city
and the sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Then after the sixty-two weeks the
Messiah will be cut off
and will have nothing. Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city
and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood,
and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed.
And he shall
confirm the covenant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice
and the
oblation to cease,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the
consummation,
and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate.
And he will
confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice
and offering.
And on the wing of the temple will come the
abomination that causes
desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
I
ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I
anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
I
ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth,
and I did not
anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
And in the four
and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is
Hiddekel;
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the
Tigris,
Then I lifted up mine eyes,
and looked,
and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were
girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
I lifted up my eyes,
and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his
waist.
His body also was like the
beryl,
and his face as the appearance of
lightning,
and his eyes as lamps of fire,
and his arms
and his feet like in colour to polished brass,
and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
His body was like
beryl, his face like the brilliance of
lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms
and legs like the
gleam of polished bronze,
and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great
quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them,
and they ran
and hid themselves.
Therefore I was left alone,
and saw this great vision,
and there remained no strength in me: for my
comeliness was turned in me into corruption,
and I retained no strength.
So I was left alone,
gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale,
and I was powerless.
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
I heard the sound of his words,
and as I
listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Suddenly, a hand touched me
and set me
trembling on my hands
and knees.
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee,
and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent.
And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood
trembling.
He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.”
And when he had said this to me, I stood up
trembling.
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou
didst set thine heart to understand,
and to
chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard,
and I am come for thy words.
“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand
and to humble
yourself before your God, your words were heard,
and I have come in
response to them.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia
withstood me one
and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me;
and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground,
and I became
dumb.
While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
And, behold, one like the
similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth,
and spake,
and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me,
and I have retained no strength.
And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips,
and I opened my mouth
and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with
anguish,
and I have no strength.
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong,
yea, be strong.
And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened,
and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee?
and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia:
and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of
Grecia shall come.
“Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
But I will
shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth:
and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
And now will I
shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia;
and the fourth shall be far richer than they all:
and by his strength through his riches he shall
stir up all against the realm of
Grecia.
Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia,
and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will
stir up
everyone against the kingdom of Greece.
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken,
and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven;
and not to his
posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be
plucked up, even for others beside those.
But as soon as he is established, his kingdom will be broken up
and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the authority with which he ruled, because his kingdom will be uprooted
and given to others.
And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
The king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own kingdom with great authority.
And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up,
and they that brought her,
and he that
begat her,
and he that strengthened her in these times.
After some years they will form an alliance,
and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength
endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal
escort and her father
and the one who supported her.
But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.
And shall also carry
captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes,
and with their precious vessels of silver
and of gold;
and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
He will take even their gods
captive to Egypt, with their metal images
and their precious vessels of silver
and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,
So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
who will
invade the realm of the king of the South
and then return to his own land.
But his sons shall be
stirred up,
and shall
assemble a multitude of great forces:
and one shall certainly come,
and overflow,
and pass through: then shall he return,
and be
stirred up, even to his fortress.
And the king of the south shall be moved with
choler,
and shall come forth
and fight with him, even with the king of the north:
and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
In a
rage, the king of the South will march out to fight the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be proud in heart and will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not triumph.
For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
For the king of the North will raise another army, larger than the first, and after some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall
exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will
exalt themselves in
fulfillment of the vision, but they will fail.
So the king of the north shall come,
and cast up a mount,
and take the most
fenced cities:
and the arms of the south shall not
withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to
withstand.
Then the king of the North will come, build up a siege
ramp,
and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will not be able to resist.
But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
The
invader will do as he pleases,
and no one will stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.
He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
He will
resolve to come with the strength of his whole kingdom,
and will reach an agreement with the king of the South. He will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plan will not succeed or help him.
After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many of them. But a commander will put an end to his reproach and will turn it back upon him.
Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall
stumble and fall,
and not be found.
After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will
stumble and fall
and be no more.
And in his estate shall stand up a
vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably,
and obtain the kingdom by
flatteries.
In his place a
despicable person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come in a time of peace
and seize the kingdom by
intrigue.
And with the arms of a flood shall they be
overflown from before him,
and shall be broken;
yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.
And after the league made with him he shall work
deceitfully: for he shall come up,
and shall become strong with a small people.
After an alliance is made with him, he will act
deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.
He shall enter
peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province;
and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall
scatter among them the prey,
and spoil,
and riches:
yea,
and he shall
forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
In a time of peace, he will
invade the richest provinces
and do what his fathers
and forefathers never did. He will
lavish plunder,
loot,
and wealth on his followers,
and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.
And he shall
stir up his power
and his courage against the king of the south with a great army;
and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to battle with a very great
and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall
forecast devices against him.
And with a large army he will
stir up his power
and his courage against the king of the South, who will
mobilize a very large
and powerful army but will not
withstand the plots devised against him.
Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him,
and his army shall overflow:
and many shall fall down slain.
Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief,
and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not
prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
And the two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table, but to no
avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; so he will do damage and return to his own land.
At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
At the appointed time he will
invade the South again, but this time will not be like the first.
For the ships of
Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be
grieved,
and return,
and have
indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return,
and have intelligence with them that
forsake the holy covenant.
Ships of Kittim will come against him,
and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back
and rage against the holy covenant
and do damage. So he will return
and show favor to those who
forsake the holy covenant.
And arms shall stand on his part,
and they shall
pollute the sanctuary of strength,
and shall take away the daily sacrifice,
and they shall place the
abomination that maketh
desolate.
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong,
and do exploits.
With
flattery he will corrupt those who
violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
And they that understand among the people shall
instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword,
and by flame, by captivity,
and by
spoil, many days.
Those with insight will
instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or
plundered.
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them,
and to
purge,
and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Some of the wise will fall, so that they may be refined,
purified,
and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
And the king shall do according to his will;
and he shall
exalt himself,
and magnify himself above every god,
and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods,
and shall
prosper till the
indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Then the king will do as he pleases
and will
exalt and magnify himself above every god,
and he will speak
monstrous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south
push at him:
and the king of the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with
chariots,
and with
horsemen,
and with many ships;
and he shall enter into the countries,
and shall overflow
and pass over.
At the time of the end, the king of the South will
engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm out against him with
chariots,
horsemen,
and many ships,
invading many countries
and sweeping through them like a flood.
He shall enter also into the glorious land,
and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even
Edom,
and Moab,
and the chief of the children of
Ammon.
He will also
invade the Beautiful Land,
and many countries will fall. But these will be delivered from his hand:
Edom, Moab,
and the leaders of the
Ammonites.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.
But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.
But
tidings out of the east
and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great
fury to destroy,
and utterly to make away many.
But news from the east
and the north will
alarm him,
and he will go out with great
fury to destroy many
and devote them to destruction.
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
“At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—
everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to
everlasting life,
and some to shame
and everlasting contempt.
And they that be wise shall
shine as the brightness of the
firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever
and ever.
Then the wise will
shine like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness will
shine like the stars
forever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words,
and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to
and fro,
and knowledge shall be increased.
But you, Daniel, shut up these words
and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will
roam to
and fro,
and knowledge will increase.”
Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.
And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the
fulfillment of these wonders?”
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand
and his left hand unto heaven,
and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times,
and an half;
and when he shall have accomplished to
scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand
and his left hand toward heaven,
and I heard him
swear by Him who lives
forever, saying, “It will be for a time,
and times,
and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been
shattered, all these things will be completed.”
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Many shall be
purified,
and made white,
and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly:
and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Many will be
purified, made spotless,
and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,
and the
abomination that maketh
desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred
and ninety days.
And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished
and the
abomination of
desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
The word of the LORD that came unto
Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham,
Ahaz,
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah,
and in the days of
Jeroboam the son of
Joash, king of Israel.
This is the word of the LORD that came to
Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham,
Ahaz,
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah,
and of
Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel.
The beginning of the word of the LORD by
Hosea.
And the LORD said to
Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms
and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great
whoredom, departing from the LORD.
So he went
and took
Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived,
and bare him a son.
So
Hosea went
and married
Gomer daughter of Diblaim,
and she conceived
and bore him a son.
And the LORD said unto him, Call his name
Jezreel; for yet a little while,
and I will
avenge the blood of
Jezreel upon the house of
Jehu,
and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Then the LORD said to
Hosea, “Name him
Jezreel, for soon I will bring the
bloodshed of
Jezreel upon the house of
Jehu,
and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of
Jezreel.
And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of
Jezreel.”
And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Gomer again conceived
and gave birth to a daughter,
and the LORD said to
Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have
compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever
forgive them.
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah,
and will save them by the LORD their God,
and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by
horsemen.
Yet I will have
compassion on the house of Judah,
and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses
and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”
Now when she had
weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived,
and bare a son.
After she had
weaned Lo-ruhamah,
Gomer conceived
and gave birth to a son.
Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
Then shall the children of Judah
and the children of Israel be gathered together,
and appoint themselves one head,
and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of
Jezreel.
Then the people of Judah
and of Israel will be gathered together,
and they will
appoint for themselves one leader,
and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of
Jezreel.
