people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or

people, each will
flee to his native land.

hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be
contemned, with all that great multitude; and the
remnant shall be very small and feeble.

hired worker counts the years, Moab’s
splendor will become an object of contempt, with all her many
people. And those who are left will be few and feeble.”

peeled, to a
people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and
trodden down, whose land the rivers have

skinned, to a
people widely feared, to a powerful nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.

ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a
trumpet, hear ye.

Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.

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.

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.

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.

people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the
maid, so with her
mistress; as with the

lender, so with the
borrower; as with the taker of
usury, so with the giver of
usury to him.

haughty people of the earth do
languish.

When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the
people, there shall be as the
shaking of an olive tree, and as the
gleaning grapes when the
vintage is done.
So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a
gleaning after a
grape harvest.

revere You.
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.

banquet for all the
peoples, a feast of aged wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.

people, and the
vail that is spread over all nations.

swallow up the
shroud that enfolds all
peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
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.
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.

dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the
people of the world learn righteousness.

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!
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.
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.
