Hell from beneath is moved
for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead
for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to
greet you— all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones.

ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can
thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?
Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that
smote thee is broken:
for out of the serpent’s root shall come
forth a
cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a
fiery flying serpent.
Do not
rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken.
For a
viper will spring from the root of the
snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved:
for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

Melt away, all you Philistines!
For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.
My heart shall cry out
for Moab; his fugitives shall
flee unto Zoar, an
heifer of three years old:
for by the mounting up of Luhith with
weeping shall they go it up;
for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
My heart
cries out over Moab; her fugitives
flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With
weeping they
ascend the slope of Luhith; they
lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be
desolate:
for the hay is
withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is
withered; the vegetation is gone, and the
greenery is no more.
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the
howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the
howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
For their outcry
echoes to the border of Moab. Their
wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood:
for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the
remnant of the land.

remnant of the land.
For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the
fords of
Arnon.
Like
fluttering birds pushed out of the nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the
fords of the
Arnon:
Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a
covert to them from the face of the
spoiler:
for the
extortioner is at an end, the
spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
Let my fugitives stay with you; be a refuge
for Moab from the destroyer.” When the
oppressor has gone, destruction has ceased, and the oppressors have
vanished from the land,

howl for Moab, every one shall
howl:
for the foundations of Kir-hareseth shall ye
mourn; surely they are
stricken.

wail; let them
wail together
for Moab.
Moan for the
raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, you who are utterly
stricken.
For the fields of
Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they
wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
For the fields of
Heshbon have
withered, along with the grapevines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have
trampled its choicest vines, which had reached as far as Jazer and spread toward the desert. Their shoots had spread out and passed over the sea.
Therefore I will
bewail with the
weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O
Heshbon, and Elealeh:
for the
shouting for thy summer fruits and
for thy harvest is fallen.
So I
weep with Jazer
for the vines of Sibmah; I
drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears.
Triumphant shouts have fallen silent over your summer fruit and your harvest.

bowels shall sound like an
harp for Moab, and mine inward parts
for Kir-haresh.

harp, my inmost being
for Kir-heres.

forsaken: they shall be

fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the
remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The
remnant of
Aram will be like the
splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
In that day shall his strong cities be as a
forsaken bough, and an
uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be
desolation.
In that day their strong cities will be like
forsaken thickets and summits, abandoned to the Israelites and to utter
desolation.
Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

forgotten the God of your salvation and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge. Therefore, though you
cultivate delightful plots and set out cuttings from
exotic vines—
For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of
dew in the heat of harvest.

shimmering heat in the
sunshine, like a cloud of
dew in the heat of harvest.”
For afore the harvest, when the
bud is perfect, and the
sour grape is
ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruninghooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

ripening grape, He will cut off the shoots with a
pruning knife and remove and discard the branches.

savior and defender to
rescue them.
And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and
barefoot three years
for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon
Ethiopia;
Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and
barefoot for three years as a sign and
omen against Egypt and
Cush,
And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation,
whither we
flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

for help and
deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”

For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an
hireling, and all the glory of
Kedar shall fail:

hired worker would count it, all the glory of
Kedar will be gone.
And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of
Kedar, shall be diminished:
for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
The remaining archers, the warriors of
Kedar, will be few.”
For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.
For it is a day of trouble, and of
treading down, and of
perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

tumult and
trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the
forest.

fortify the wall.

ditch between the two walls
for the water of the old
pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
You built a
reservoir between the walls
for the waters of the ancient
pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who
planned it long ago.
And behold joy and
gladness,
slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink;

morrow we shall die.

gladness,
butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die!”
And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be
purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast
hewed thee out a
sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a
sepulchre on high, and that graveth an
habitation for himself in a rock?
What are you doing here, and who authorized you to
carve out a tomb
for yourself here—to
chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
And I will
fasten him as a
nail in a sure place; and he shall be
for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
I will drive him like a
peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory
for the house of his father.
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the
nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off:
for the LORD hath spoken it.
In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the
peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be
sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
The burden of Tyre.
Howl, ye ships of
Tarshish;
for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of
Chittim it is revealed to them.
This is the burden against Tyre:
Wail, O ships of
Tarshish,
for Tyre is laid waste, without house or
harbor. Word has reached them from the land of
Cyprus.
Be thou
ashamed, O Zidon:
for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I
travail not, nor bring
forth children, neither do I
nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
Be
ashamed, O
Sidon, the
stronghold of the sea,
for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”
Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not,
til the Assyrian founded it
for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
Look at the land of the Chaldeans— a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it
for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and
stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.
Howl, ye ships of
Tarshish:
for your strength is laid waste.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be
forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an
harlot.
At that time Tyre will be
forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the
harlot:
Take an
harp, go about the city, thou
harlot that hast been
forgotten; make sweet
melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
“Take up your
harp,
stroll through the city, O
forgotten harlot. Make sweet
melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”
And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her
hire, and shall commit
fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
And at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to
hire as a
prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.
The land shall be utterly
emptied, and utterly
spoiled:
for the LORD hath spoken this word.
The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly
plundered.
For the LORD has spoken this word.
There is a crying
for wine in the streets; all joy is
darkened, the
mirth of the land is gone.
In the streets they cry out
for wine. All joy turns to
gloom;
rejoicing is exiled from the land.
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing
for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry
aloud from the sea.
They raise their voices, they
shout for joy; from the west they
proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the
snare:
for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do
shake.
Whoever flees the sound of
panic will fall into the pit, and
whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the
snare.
For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are
shaken.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun
ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount
Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
The moon will be confounded and the sun will be
ashamed;
for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount
Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
O LORD, thou art my God; I will
exalt thee, I will praise thy name;
for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
O LORD, You are my God! I will
exalt You; I will praise Your name.
For You have worked wonders— plans
formed long ago— in perfect faithfulness.
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.
Indeed, You have made the city a
heap of
rubble, the
fortified town a ruin. The
fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the
needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
For You have been a refuge
for the poor, a
stronghold for the
needy in distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the
ruthless is like rain against a wall,
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
like heat in a dry land. You
subdue the
uproar of
foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the
ruthless is silenced.
And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the
lees, of fat things full of
marrow, of wines on the
lees well refined.
On this mountain the LORD of Hosts will prepare a
banquet for all the peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.
He will
swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will
wipe away tears from off all faces; and the
rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth:
for the LORD hath spoken it.
He will
swallow up death
forever. The Lord GOD will
wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth.
For the LORD has spoken.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited
for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited
for him, we will be
glad and
rejoice in his salvation.
And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited
for Him, and He has saved us. This is the LORD
for whom we have waited. Let us
rejoice and be
glad in His salvation.”
For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be
trodden down under him, even as straw is
trodden down
for the
dunghill.
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be
trampled in his place as straw is
trodden into the dung pile.
And he 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.
He will spread out his hands within it, as a
swimmer spreads his arms to
swim. His pride will be brought low,
despite the skill of his hands.
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God
appoint for walls and bulwarks.
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.
Trust ye in the LORD
for ever:
for in the LORD JEHOVAH is
everlasting strength:
Trust in the LORD
forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright,
dost weigh the path of the just.
The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited
for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the
remembrance of thee.
Yes, we wait
for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and
renown are the desire of our souls.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night;
yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:
for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
My soul longs
for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at
dawn.
For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be
ashamed for their
envy at the people;
yea, the fire of thine enemies shall
devour them.
O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal
for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set
for Your enemies will
consume them!
LORD, thou
wilt ordain peace
for us:
for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.
Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art
glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory
for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought
forth wind; we have not wrought any
deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
We were with child; we
writhed in pain; but we gave birth to wind. We have given no salvation to the earth, nor brought any life into the world.
Thy dead men 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.
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!
For your
dew is like the
dew of the morning, and the earth will bring
forth her dead.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide
thyself as it were
for a little moment, until the
indignation be overpast.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide
yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to
punish the inhabitants of the earth
for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to
punish the inhabitants of the earth
for their iniquity. The earth will
reveal her
bloodshed and will no longer
conceal her slain.
In measure, when it shooteth
forth, thou
wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
By warfare and exile You
contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
By this therefore 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 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.
And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
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,
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who
repel the
onslaught at the gate.
For all tables are full of
vomit and
filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
For all their tables are covered with
vomit; there is not a place without
filth.
For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
For with
stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Indeed, with
mocking lips and
foreign tongues, He will speak to this people
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.
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 bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can
wrap himself in it.
Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the
blanket too small to
wrap around you.
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.
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
So now, do not
mock, or your
shackles will become heavier. Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
