Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying
divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it;
albeit I have not spoken?
Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying
divination when you
proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even
though I have not spoken?

sad, whom I have not made
sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Because you have
disheartened the righteous with your lies, even
though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives,

Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be
desolate.

desolate.

despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly
polluted: then I said, I would pour out my
fury upon them in the wilderness, to
consume them.

Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they
polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my
fury upon them, to
accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—

profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and
vent My anger against them in the wilderness.

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

uncircumcised, slain by the sword:

Among the slain they prepare a resting place for
Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are
uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
There is
Meshech,
Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword,

uncircumcised, which are gone down to

As for thee, O king, thy
thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass
hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
As you lay on your bed, O king, your
thoughts turned to the future, and the
Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
And to me this
mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may understand the
thoughts of your mind.

alarmed me.
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was
astonied for one hour, and his
thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that
hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
For a time, Daniel, who was also known as Belteshazzar, was
perplexed, and his
thoughts alarmed him. So the king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation
alarm you.” “My lord,” replied Belteshazzar, “may the dream apply to those who
hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!
Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his
thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees
smote one against another.

thoughts so
alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees
knocked together.

banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy
thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:

banquet hall. “O king, may you live
forever!” she said. “Do not let your
thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale.
And thou his son, O
Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart,
though thou knewest all this;

Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even
though you knew all this.
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king
planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
To the Lord our God belong
mercies and forgivenesses,

collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be destroyed,

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

plundered.

harlot: she that conceived them hath done
shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.

harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she
thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an
adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again,
though she is loved by another and is an
adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites,
though they turn to other gods and offer
raisin cakes to idols.”
Though thou, Israel, play the
harlot, yet let not Judah
offend; and come not ye unto
Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-
aven, nor

Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-
aven, and do not
swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’

smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit:

slay the darlings of their wombs.

plunder his treasury of every precious article.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than
raiment?
Therefore I tell you, do not
worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Which of you by taking
thought can add one
cubit unto his
stature?
Who of you by
worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why take ye
thought for
raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they
toil not, neither do they
spin:
And why do you
worry about clothes? Consider how the
lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or
spin.
Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Therefore do not
worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Take therefore no
thought for the
morrow: for the
morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you
harbor evil in your hearts?
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
But when they hand you over, do not
worry about how to
respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.
