fir trees
rejoice at thee, and the cedars of
Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

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.

haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.
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.

weep with Jazer for the vines of Sibmah; I

vintage shouting to cease.
Joy and
gladness are removed from the
orchard; no one sings or shouts in the vineyards. No one tramples the grapes in the winepresses; I
have put an end to the
cheering.

peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and
trodden down, whose land the rivers
have spoiled!
which sends couriers by sea, in
papyrus vessels on the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-
skinned, to a people widely feared, to a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.

peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and
trodden under foot, whose land the rivers
have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount
Zion.
At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD of Hosts— from a people tall and smooth-
skinned, from a people widely feared, from a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers— to Mount
Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.

frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of
Noph are
deceived; they
have also
seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

have become fools; the princes of
Memphis are
deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes
have led Egypt
astray.
The LORD hath mingled a
perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they
have caused Egypt to
err in every work thereof, as a
drunken man staggereth in his
vomit.
The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led
astray in all she does, as a
drunkard staggers through his own
vomit.

dire vision is declared to me: “The
traitor still betrays, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, O

bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.
For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a
watchman, let him declare what he
seeth.
For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a
lookout and
have him report what he sees.
O my
threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I
have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
have I declared unto you.

have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.

have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower
pool.

pool.

have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses
have ye broken down to
fortify the wall.
You counted the houses of Jerusalem and
tore them down to
strengthen the wall.
Ye made also a
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.
Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea,
have replenished.
Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of
Sidon, whose traders
have crossed the sea.

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.

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.”

rejoice, O thou
oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to
Chittim; there also shalt thou
have no rest.
He said, “You shall
rejoice no more, O
oppressed Virgin Daughter of
Sidon. Get up and cross over to
Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.”

curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are
desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers
have been burned, and only a few
survive.

mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that
rejoice endeth, the joy of the
harp ceaseth.

have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful
harp is silent.
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.

exalt You; I will praise Your name. For You

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.

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,

have waited for him, we will be
glad and
rejoice in his salvation.

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.”
