munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

even to night
wilt thou make an end of me.

graven image, and falleth down
thereto.

even his
graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
From the rest he makes a god, his
graven image. He bows down to it and worships; he prays to it and says, “Save me, for you are my god.”

sustain you and deliver you.

wroth with my people, I have
polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou
didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very

heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy;

I have
even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine
idol hath done them, and my

molten image, hath commanded them.

announced it before it came to pass, so that you could not claim, ‘My
idol has done this; my carved image and
molten god has ordained it.’
Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time,
even hidden things, and thou
didst not know them.
You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.
They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before
today. So you cannot claim, ‘I already knew them!’
For mine own sake,
even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be
polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be
defamed? I will not yield My glory to another.

thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun
smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,

fury, you will never drink again.

And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast
lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace
even of old, and thou fearest me not?

Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down, a wolf from the desert will
ravage them. A
leopard will lie in wait near their cities, and
everyone who ventures out will be
torn to pieces. For their
rebellious acts are many, and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.

Yea, the
stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the
turtle and the
crane and the
swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The
turtledove, the swift, and the
thrush keep their time of
migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.

today, I strongly
warned them again and again, saying, ‘Obey My voice.’
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing,

Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’

even thy brethren, and the house of thy father,
even they have dealt
treacherously with thee;

even they have
betrayed you;

pity or
compassion to keep Me from destroying them.’”
