doth he not cast abroad the
fitches,
and scatter the
cummin,
and cast in the principal wheat
and the appointed barley
and rie in their place?

sow caraway and scatter cumin? He plants wheat in rows
and barley in plots,

Ariel,

and set up siege works against you.

chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,

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.

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.

yourselves,

scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”

Or if the
scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”
Wherefore the Lord said,
Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth,
and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me,
and their fear toward me is taught by the
precept of men:
Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,

prudent men shall be
hid.

confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will
vanish,
and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”

seeth us?
and who knoweth us?

and say, “Who sees us,
and who will know?”

nought,

offender for a word,
and lay a
snare for him that reproveth in the gate,
and turn aside the just for a thing of
nought.

ensnare the
mediator at the gate,
and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

sanctify my name,

heaping up sin upon sin.
That walk to go down into Egypt,
and have not asked at my mouth; to
strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.

They were all
ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame,
and also a reproach.
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame
and reproach.”
The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble
and anguish, from whence come the young
and old lion, the
viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young
asses,
and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of
hardship and distress, of
lioness and lion, of
viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of
donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
For the Egyptians shall help in vain,
and to no purpose: therefore have I

forever and ever.
Which say to the seers, See not;
and to the prophets,
Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things,
prophesy deceits:

prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words;
prophesy illusions.
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye
despise this word,
and trust in oppression
and perverseness,
and stay
thereon:

and relying on
deceit,

spare: so that there shall not be found in the
bursting of it a
sherd to take fire from the
hearth, or to take water
withal out of the pit.
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

flee upon horses; therefore shall ye
flee:

flee! “We will
ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.

threat of one; at the
threat of five you will all
flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a
banner on a hill.

gracious unto you,

adversity,
and the water of

defile also the covering of thy
graven images of silver,

molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a

and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like
menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”

sow the ground
withal;
and bread of the increase of the earth,

and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

and the food that comes from your land will be rich
and plentiful. On that day your cattle will
graze in open pastures.

and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of
indignation,

devouring fire:

afar, with burning anger
and dense smoke. His lips are full of
fury,
and His tongue is like a
consuming fire.
And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to
sift the nations with the
sieve of vanity:
and there shall be a
bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to
err.

rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to
sift the nations in a
sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them
astray.
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy
solemnity is kept;
and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

and your heart will
rejoice like one who walks to the music of a
flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

angry wrath with a flame of
consuming fire,
and with cloudburst, storm,
and hailstones.

and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons
brandished.
For
Tophet is ordained of old;
yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep
and large: the pile thereof is fire
and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of
brimstone,
doth kindle it.
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral
pyre is deep
and wide, with
plenty of fire
and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a
torrent of burning sulfur, sets it
ablaze.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help;
and stay on horses,
and trust in
chariots, because they are many;
and in
horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who
rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of
chariots and in their multitude of
horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

and against the allies of evildoers.
Now the Egyptians are men,
and not God;
and their horses flesh,
and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall,
and he that is
holpen shall fall down,
and they all shall fail together.
But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will
stumble,
and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.
For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion
and the young lion
roaring on his prey, when a multitude of
shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor
abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount
Zion,
and for the hill thereof.
For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion
roaring or a young lion over its prey—
and though a band of
shepherds is called out against it, it is not
terrified by their
shouting or subdued by their
clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount
Zion and its heights.
As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
Like birds
hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it
and deliver it; He will pass over it
and preserve it.”
For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man;
and the sword, not of a mean man, shall
devour him: but he shall
flee from the sword,
and his young men shall be
discomfited.

devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will
flee before the sword,
and their young men will be put to forced labor.
And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,
and his princes shall be afraid of the
ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in
Zion,
and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Their rock will pass away for fear,
and their princes will
panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in
Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.
And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind,
and a
covert from the
tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a
weary land.

arid land.
And the eyes of them that see shall not be
dim,
and the ears of them that hear shall
hearken.
Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will
listen.
The heart also of the
rash shall understand knowledge,
and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
For the
vile person will speak
villany,
and his heart will work iniquity, to
practise hypocrisy,
and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the
hungry,
and he will cause the drink of the
thirsty to fail.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.
Many days
and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the
vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

tremble, O secure ones. For the
grape harvest will fail
and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you,
and make you bare,
and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns
and briers;
yea, upon all the houses of joy in the
joyous city:
and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns
and briers— even for every house of
merriment in this city of
revelry.
Because the palaces shall be
forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts
and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild
asses, a pasture of flocks;
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an
orchard,
and the
orchard will seem like a forest.
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence
forever.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable
habitation,
and in sure dwellings,
and in quiet resting places;
Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
When it shall
hail, coming down on the forest;
and the city shall be low in a low place.
But
hail will level the forest,
and the city will sink to the depths.
Blessed are ye that
sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox
and the
ass.

sow beside abundant waters, who let the ox
and donkey range freely.

betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished
betraying, you will be
betrayed.

gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning
and our salvation in time of trouble.
And your
spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to
and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a
swarm of locusts men
sweep over it.
The LORD is
exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled
Zion with judgment
and righteousness.
The LORD is
exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled
Zion with justice
and righteousness.
And wisdom
and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times,
and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his
treasure.
He will be the sure foundation for your times, a
storehouse of salvation, wisdom,
and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is
Zion’s
treasure.
The
highways lie waste, the
wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath
despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
The
highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are
despised,
and human life is disregarded.
And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down
and set
ablaze.
Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
He who walks righteously
and speaks with
sincerity, who refuses gain from
extortion, whose hand never takes a
bribe, who stops his ears against
murderous plots
and shuts his eyes
tightly against evil—
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided
and his water
assured.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty
and behold a land that stretches
afar.
But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers
and streams; wherein shall go no
galley with oars, neither shall
gallant ship pass thereby.
But there the
Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers
and wide canals, where no
galley with oars will row,
and no
majestic vessel will pass.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well
strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great
spoil divided; the
lame take the prey.
Your ropes are
slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided,
and even the
lame will carry off
plunder.
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be
forgiven their iniquity.
And no resident of
Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be
forgiven of iniquity.
Come near, ye nations, to hear;
and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear,
and all that is therein; the world,
and all things that come forth of it.
Come near, O nations, to
listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear,
and all that fills it, the world
and all that springs from it.
For the
indignation of the LORD is upon all nations,
and his
fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
The LORD is
angry with all the nations
and furious with all their armies. He will
devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.
Their slain also shall be cast out,
and their
stink shall come up out of their carcases,
and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Their slain will be left unburied,
and the
stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
and the heavens shall be rolled together as a
scroll:
and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine,
and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The
skies will be rolled up like a
scroll,
and all their stars will fall like
withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon
Idumea,
and upon the people of my
curse, to judgment.
When My sword has
drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon
Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness,
and with the blood of lambs
and goats, with the fat of the
kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in
Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of
Idumea.
The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat— with the blood of lambs
and goats, with the fat of the
kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in
Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of
Edom.
