Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
And in those times
there shall many stand up against
the king of
the south: also
the robbers of thy people shall
exalt themselves to establish
the vision; but
they shall fall.
In those times many will rise up against
the king of
the South. Violent ones among your own people will
exalt themselves in
fulfillment of
the vision, but
they will fail.
So
the king of
the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take
the most
fenced cities: and
the arms of
the south shall not
withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall
there be any strength to
withstand.
Then the king of
the North will come, build up a siege
ramp, and capture a fortified city.
The forces of
the South will not stand; even
their best troops will not be able to resist.
But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will stand against him. He will establish himself in
the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.
He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
He will
resolve to come with
the strength of his whole kingdom, and will reach an agreement with
the king of
the South. He will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow
the kingdom, but his plan will not succeed or help him.
After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many of them. But a commander will put an end to his reproach and will turn it back upon him.
Then he shall turn his face toward
the fort of his own land: but he shall
stumble and fall, and not be found.
After this, he will turn back toward
the fortresses of his own land, but he will
stumble and fall and be no more.
Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
In his place one will arise who will send out a tax
collector for
the glory of
the kingdom; but within a few days he will be destroyed, though not in anger or in battle.
And in his estate shall stand up a
vile person, to whom
they shall not give
the honour of
the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably, and obtain
the kingdom by
flatteries.
In his place a
despicable person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come in a time of peace and seize
the kingdom by
intrigue.
And with
the arms of a flood shall
they be
overflown from before him, and shall be broken;
yea, also
the prince of
the covenant.
Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.
And after
the league made with him he shall work
deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
After an alliance is made with him, he will act
deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.
He shall enter
peaceably even upon
the fattest places of
the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall
scatter among
them the prey, and
spoil, and riches:
yea, and he shall
forecast his devices against
the strong holds, even for a time.
In a time of peace, he will
invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will
lavish plunder,
loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against
the strongholds—but only for a time.
And he shall
stir up his power and his courage against
the king of
the south with a great army; and
the king of
the south shall be
stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for
they shall
forecast devices against him.
And with a large army he will
stir up his power and his courage against
the king of
the South, who will
mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not
withstand the plots devised against him.
Yea,
they that feed of
the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
And both
these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and
they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not
prosper: for yet
the end shall be at
the time appointed.
And
the two kings, with
their hearts bent on evil, will speak lies at
the same table, but to no
avail, for still
the end will come at
the appointed time.
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; so he will do damage and return to his own land.
At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
At
the appointed time he will
invade the South again, but this time will not be like
the first.
For
the ships of
Chittim shall come against him:
therefore he shall be
grieved, and return, and have
indignation against
the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with
them that
forsake the holy covenant.
Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart.
Then he will turn back and
rage against
the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who
forsake the holy covenant.
And arms shall stand on his part, and
they shall
pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away
the daily sacrifice, and
they shall place
the abomination that maketh
desolate.
And such as do wickedly against
the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries: but
the people that do know
their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
With
flattery he will corrupt those who
violate the covenant, but
the people who know
their God will firmly resist him.
And
they that understand among
the people shall
instruct many: yet
they shall fall by
the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
spoil, many days.
Those with insight will
instruct many, though for a time
they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or
plundered.
Now when
they shall fall,
they shall be
holpen with a little help: but many shall
cleave to
them with
flatteries.
Now when
they fall,
they will be granted a little help, but many will join
them insincerely.
And some of
them of understanding shall fall, to try
them, and to
purge, and to make
them white, even to
the time of
the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Some of
the wise will fall, so that
they may be refined,
purified, and made spotless until
the time of
the end, for it will still come at
the appointed time.
And
the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt himself, and
magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against
the God of gods, and shall
prosper till
the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Then the king will do as he pleases and will
exalt and
magnify himself above every god, and he will speak
monstrous things against
the God of gods. He will be successful until
the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.
Neither shall he regard
the God of his fathers, nor
the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall
magnify himself above all.
He will show no regard for
the gods of his fathers, nor for
the one desired by women, nor for any other god, because he will
magnify himself above
them all.
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
And at
the time of
the end shall
the king of
the south
push at him: and
the king of
the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with
chariots, and with
horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into
the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
At
the time of
the end,
the king of
the South will
engage him in battle, but
the king of
the North will storm out against him with
chariots,
horsemen, and many ships,
invading many countries and
sweeping through
them like a flood.
He shall enter also into
the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but
these shall escape out of his hand, even
Edom, and Moab, and
the chief of
the children of
Ammon.
He will also
invade the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall. But
these will be delivered from his hand:
Edom, Moab, and
the leaders of
the Ammonites.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.
But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.
But
tidings out of
the east and out of
the north shall trouble him:
therefore he shall go forth with great
fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
But news from
the east and
the north will
alarm him, and he will go out with great
fury to destroy many and
devote them to destruction.
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
“At that time Michael,
the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up.
There will be a time of distress,
the likes of which will not have occurred from
the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—
everyone whose name is found written in
the book—will be delivered.
And many of
them that sleep in
the dust of
the earth shall
awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt.
And
they that be wise shall
shine as
the brightness of
the firmament; and
they that turn many to righteousness as
the stars for ever and ever.
Then the wise will
shine like
the brightness of
the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will
shine like
the stars
forever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up
the words, and seal
the book, even to
the time of
the end: many shall run to and
fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
But you, Daniel, shut up
these words and seal
the book until
the time of
the end. Many will
roam to and
fro, and knowledge will increase.”
Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.
And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
One of
them said to
the man dressed in linen, who was above
the waters of
the river, “How long until
the fulfillment of
these wonders?”
And I heard
the man clothed in linen, which was upon
the waters of
the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and
sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to
scatter the power of
the holy people, all
these things shall be finished.
And
the man dressed in linen, who was above
the waters of
the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him
swear by Him who lives
forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When
the power of
the holy people has finally been
shattered, all
these things will be completed.”
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Many shall be
purified, and made white, and tried; but
the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of
the wicked shall understand; but
the wise shall understand.
Many will be
purified, made spotless, and refined, but
the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of
the wicked will understand, but
the wise will understand.
And from
the time that
the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and
the abomination that maketh
desolate set up,
there shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days.
And from
the time
the daily sacrifice is abolished and
the abomination of
desolation set up,
there will be 1,290 days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
The word of
the LORD that came unto
Hosea,
the son of Beeri, in
the days of Uzziah, Jotham,
Ahaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in
the days of
Jeroboam the son of
Joash, king of Israel.
This is
the word of
the LORD that came to
Hosea son of Beeri in
the days of Uzziah, Jotham,
Ahaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and of
Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel.
The beginning of
the word of
the LORD by
Hosea. And
the LORD said to
Hosea, Go, take unto
thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for
the land hath committed great
whoredom, departing from
the LORD.
So he went and took
Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
So
Hosea went and married
Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
And
the LORD said unto him, Call his name
Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will
avenge the blood of
Jezreel upon
the house of
Jehu, and will cause to cease
the kingdom of
the house of Israel.
Then the LORD said to
Hosea, “Name him
Jezreel, for soon I will bring
the bloodshed of
Jezreel upon
the house of
Jehu, and I will put an end to
the kingdom of Israel.
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break
the bow of Israel in
the valley of
Jezreel.
And on that day I will break
the bow of Israel in
the Valley of
Jezreel.”
And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and
the LORD said to
Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have
compassion on
the house of Israel, that I should ever
forgive them.
But I will have mercy upon
the house of Judah, and will save
them by
the LORD
their God, and will not save
them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by
horsemen.
Yet I will have
compassion on
the house of Judah, and I will save
them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by
the LORD
their God.”
Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
And the LORD said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not your God.
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
Then shall
the children of Judah and
the children of Israel be gathered together, and
appoint themselves one head, and
they shall come up out of
the land: for great shall be
the day of
Jezreel.
Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and
they will
appoint for
themselves one leader, and will go up out of
the land. For great will be
the day of
Jezreel.
Plead with your mother,
plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her
therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her
adulteries from between her breasts;
Rebuke your mother,
rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove
the adultery from her face and
the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in
the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and
slay her with
thirst.
Otherwise, I will strip her naked and
expose her like
the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a
parched land, and I will let her die of
thirst.
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
For
their mother hath played
the 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.
For
their mother has played
the 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.’
Therefore, behold, I will
hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
Therefore, behold, I will
hedge up her path with thorns; I will
enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which
they prepared for
Baal.
For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who
lavished on her silver and gold— which
they crafted for
Baal.
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
And now will I discover her
lewdness in
the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
And
then I will
expose her
lewdness in
the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
whereof she hath said,
These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make
them a forest, and
the beasts of
the field shall eat
them.
I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are
the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make
them into a
thicket, and
the beasts of
the field will
devour them.
And I will visit upon her
the days of
Baalim, wherein she burned incense to
them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and
forgat me, saith
the LORD.
I will
punish her for
the days of
the Baals when she burned incense to
them, when she decked herself with rings and
jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she
forgot,” declares
the LORD.
Therefore, behold, I will
allure her, and bring her into
the wilderness, and speak
comfortably unto her.
“
Therefore, behold, I will
allure her and lead her to
the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
And I will give her her vineyards from
thence, and
the valley of
Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing
there, as in
the days of her youth, and as in
the day when she came up out of
the land of Egypt.
There I will give back her vineyards and make
the Valley of
Achor into a
gateway of hope.
There she will
respond as she did in
the days of her youth, as in
the day she came up out of Egypt.
And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’
For I will take away
the names of
Baalim out of her mouth, and
they shall no more be remembered by
their name.
For I will remove from her lips
the names of
the Baals; no longer will
their names be
invoked.
And in that day will I make a covenant for
them with
the beasts of
the field, and with
the fowls of heaven, and with
the creeping things of
the ground: and I will break
the bow and
the sword and
the battle out of
the earth, and will make
them to lie down safely.
On that day I will make a covenant for
them with
the beasts of
the field and
the birds of
the air and
the creatures that
crawl on
the ground. And I will
abolish bow and sword and weapons of war in
the land, and will make
them lie down in safety.
And I will
betroth thee unto me for ever;
yea, I will
betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in
mercies.
I will even
betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know
the LORD.
And I will
betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know
the LORD.”
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
“On that day I will
respond—” declares
the LORD— “I will
respond to
the heavens, and
they will
respond to
the earth.
And
the earth shall hear
the corn, and
the wine, and
the oil; and
they shall hear
Jezreel.
And I will
sow her unto me in
the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to
them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and
they shall say, Thou art my God.
And I will
sow her as My own in
the land, and I will have
compassion on ‘No
Compassion.’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’ ‘You are My people,’ and
they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
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.”
And I said unto her, Thou shalt
abide for me many days; thou shalt not play
the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for
thee.
Then I said to her, “You must live with me for many days; you must not be
promiscuous or belong to another, and I will do
the same for you.”
For
the children of Israel shall
abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an
ephod, and without
teraphim:
For
the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred
pillar, and without
ephod or
idol.
Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
Afterward,
the people of Israel will return and seek
the LORD
their God and David
their king.
They will come
trembling to
the LORD and to His goodness in
the last days.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
Therefore shall
the land
mourn, and every one that dwelleth
therein shall
languish, with
the beasts of
the field, and with
the fowls of heaven;
yea,
the fishes of
the sea also shall be taken away.
Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
Yet let no man
strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as
they that
strive with
the priest.
But let no man
contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who
contend with a priest.
Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
You will
stumble by day, and
the prophet will
stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also
reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten
the law of thy God, I will also
forget thy children.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also
reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten
the law of your God, I will also
forget your children.
As
they were increased, so
they sinned against me:
therefore will I change
their glory into shame.
The more
they multiplied,
the more
they sinned against Me;
they exchanged
their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
And
there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will
punish them for
their ways, and reward
them their doings.
And it shall be like people, like priest. I will
punish both of
them for
their ways and repay
them for
their deeds.
For
they shall eat, and not have enough:
they shall commit
whoredom, and shall not increase: because
they have left off to take
heed to
the LORD.
They will eat but not be satisfied;
they will be
promiscuous but not multiply. For
they have stopped obeying
the LORD.
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away
the heart.
Promiscuity, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
My people ask counsel at
their stocks, and
their staff declareth unto
them: for
the spirit of whoredoms hath caused
them to
err, and
they have gone a
whoring from under
their God.
My people
consult their wooden idols, and
their divining rods inform
them. For a spirit of
prostitution leads
them astray and
they have played
the harlot against
their God.
They sacrifice upon
the tops of
the mountains, and burn incense upon
the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because
the shadow
thereof is good:
therefore your daughters shall commit
whoredom, and your spouses shall commit
adultery.
They sacrifice on
the mountaintops and burn offerings on
the hills, under oak,
poplar, and
terebinth, because
their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to
prostitution and your daughters-in-law to
adultery.
I will not
punish your daughters when
they commit
whoredom, nor your spouses when
they commit
adultery: for
themselves are separated with whores, and
they sacrifice with harlots:
therefore the people that
doth not understand shall fall.
I will not
punish your daughters when
they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when
they commit
adultery. For

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

The LORD liveth.
Though you
prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to
Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-
aven, and do not
swear on oath, ‘As surely as
the LORD lives!’
For Israel slideth back as a
backsliding heifer: now
the LORD will feed
them as a lamb in a large place.
Their drink is
sour:
they have committed
whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and
they shall be

their sacrifices will bring
them shame.
Hear ye this, O priests; and
hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of
the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a
snare on
Mizpah, and a net spread upon
Tabor.

snare at
Mizpah, a net spread out on
Tabor.
And
the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a
rebuker of
them all.
The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I will
chastise them all.
