shall be built again, and the wall, even in
troublous times.

shall be poured upon the
desolate.

posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom
shall be
plucked up, even for others beside those.

shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he
shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

shall work
deceitfully: for he
shall come up, and
shall become strong with a small people.

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

stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he
shall not stand: for they
shall forecast devices against him.

shall be to do mischief, and they
shall speak lies at one table; but it

avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.

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.

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.

shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but the people that do know their God
shall be strong, and do exploits.

violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.

shall instruct many: yet they
shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
spoil, many days.

instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or
plundered.

shall fall, they
shall be
holpen with a little help: but many
shall cleave to them with
flatteries.
Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, but many will join them
insincerely.
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.
Neither
shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he
shall magnify himself above all.
He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers, nor for the one desired by women, nor for any other god, because he will
magnify himself above them all.
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.

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.”
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?”
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

ninety days.

shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of
Jezreel.

Jezreel.”

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.

appoint for themselves one leader, and will go up out of the land. For great will be the day of
Jezreel.

hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she
shall not find her paths.
Therefore, behold, I will
hedge up her path with thorns; I will
enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
And now will I discover her
lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none
shall deliver her out of mine hand.
And then I will
expose her
lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field
shall eat them.
I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a
thicket, and the beasts of the field will
devour them.
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of
Achor for a door of hope: and she
shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of
Achor into a
gateway of hope. There she will
respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
For I will take away the names of
Baalim out of her mouth, and they
shall no more be remembered by their name.
For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be
invoked.
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
“On that day I will
respond—” declares the LORD— “I will
respond to the heavens, and they will
respond to the earth.
And the earth
shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they
shall hear
Jezreel.
And I will
sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they
shall say, Thou art my God.
And I will
sow her as My own in the land, and I will have
compassion on ‘No
Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an
ephod, and without
teraphim:

pillar, and without
ephod or
idol.

trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.
Therefore
shall the land
mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein
shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven;
yea, the fishes of the sea also
shall be taken away.

shall be, like people, like priest: and I will
punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

shall be like people, like priest. I will
punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
For they
shall eat, and not have enough: they
shall commit
whoredom, and
shall not increase: because they have left off to take
heed to the LORD.
They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be
promiscuous but not multiply. For they have stopped obeying the LORD.
They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters
shall commit
whoredom, and your spouses
shall commit
adultery.
They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak,
poplar, and
terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to
prostitution and your daughters-in-law to
adultery.
I will not
punish your daughters when they commit
whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit
adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that
doth not understand
shall fall.
I will not
punish your daughters when they
prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit
adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with
shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they
shall be
ashamed because of their sacrifices.

whirlwind has
wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.

doth testify to his face: therefore
shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also
shall fall with them.

arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim
stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles with them.
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.
They have dealt
treacherously against the LORD: for they have
begotten strange children: now
shall a month
devour them with their portions.
They have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne
illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will
devour them along with their land.
Ephraim
shall be
desolate in the day of
rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which
shall surely be.
Ephraim will be laid waste on the day of
rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I
proclaim what is certain.
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will
tear and go away; I will take away, and none
shall rescue him.
For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will
tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can
rescue them.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
O Ephraim, what
shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what
shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early
dew it goeth away.
What
shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What
shall I do with you, O Judah? For your
loyalty is like a morning
mist, like the early
dew that vanishes.
When they
shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will
chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will
chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
