shall turn to her
hire, and

borrower; as with the taker of
usury, so with the giver of

gleaning after a
grape harvest.

shake.

Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
For thou hast made of a city an
heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it
shall never be built.

heap of
rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
Therefore
shall the strong people
glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations
shall fear thee.

ruthless nations will
revere You.

subdue the
uproar of foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the
ruthless is silenced.

banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.

swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will

shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab

dunghill.

trampled in his place as straw is
trodden into the dung pile.

shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to
swim: and he
shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

swimmer spreads his arms to
swim. His pride will be brought low,

shall see, and be
ashamed for their
envy at the people;

shall devour them.

consume them!
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

wiped out all memory of them.

shall live, together with my dead body
shall they arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy
dew is as the
dew of herbs, and the earth
shall cast out the dead.

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

punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also

shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel
shall blossom and
bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

bud and
blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.

shall the iniquity of Jacob be
purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in
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.
And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the great
trumpet shall be
blown, and they
shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and
shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Behold, the Lord hath a mighty 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.
Behold, the Lord has one who is strong and mighty. Like a
hailstorm or destructive
tempest, like a driving rain or flooding
downpour, he will
smash that crown to the ground.
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim,
shall be
trodden under feet:
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,
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?
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.”
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in
Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth
shall not make
haste.
So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in
Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be
shaken.
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 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.
Yet I will distress
Ariel, and there
shall be
heaviness and sorrow: and it
shall be unto me as
Ariel.
And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech
shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice
shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech
shall whisper out of the dust.
You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be
muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will
whisper out of the dust.
Moreover the multitude of thy strangers
shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones
shall be as
chaff that passeth away:
yea, it
shall be at an instant suddenly.
But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the
ruthless like blowing
chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against
Ariel, even all that fight against her and her
munition, and that distress her,
shall be as a dream of a night vision.
All the many nations going out to battle against
Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
It
shall even be as when an
hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a
thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is
faint, and his soul hath
appetite: so
shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount
Zion.
as when a
hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still
hungry; as when a
thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens
faint and
parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount
Zion.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men
shall perish, and the understanding of their
prudent men
shall be
hid.
Therefore I will again
confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will
vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”
Surely your turning of things
upside down
shall be esteemed as the
potter’s clay: for
shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or
shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
You have turned things
upside down, as if the
potter were regarded as clay.
Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the
potter, “He has no understanding”?
