sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I
abhor the
excellency of Jacob, and
hate his palaces:
therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is
therein.

invoked.”

wormwood—

preach against the house of Isaac.’

harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a
polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘Your wife will become a
prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be divided by a measuring line, and you
yourself will die on pagan soil. And Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”

dig into
hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they

confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have
deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee:

deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a
trap for you without your awareness of it.

consume it.

survivor will remain from the house of
Esau.” For the LORD has spoken.
But
Jonah rose up to
flee unto
Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to
Joppa; and he found a ship going to
Tarshish: so he paid the
fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto
Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and
there was a mighty
tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Then the LORD
hurled a great wind upon the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.
And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?
Therefore I fled before unto
Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a
gracious God, and
merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to
flee toward
Tarshish. I knew that You are a
gracious and
compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion—One who relents from sending
disaster.
Therefore now, O LORD, take, I
beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
And now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
So
Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and

booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

Hear, all ye people;
hearken, O earth, and all that
therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.

Therefore I will make Samaria as an
heap of the field, and as plantings of a
vineyard: and I will pour down the stones
thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations
thereof.

vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and
expose her foundations.
And all the
graven images
thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the
hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols
thereof will I lay
desolate: for she gathered it of the
hire of an
harlot, and they shall return to the
hire of an
harlot.
All her carved images will be
smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a
prostitute, they will be used again on a
prostitute.

Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go

planning against this nation a
disaster from which you cannot free your necks. Then you will not walk so proudly, for it will be a time of
calamity.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without
divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the
daylight will turn black over them.
Then shall the seers be
ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
yea, they shall all cover their lips; for
there is no answer of God.
Then the seers will be
ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because
there is no answer from God.”
The heads
thereof judge for reward, and the priests
thereof teach for
hire, and the prophets
thereof divine for money: yet will they
lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
Her leaders judge for a
bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice
divination for money. Yet they
lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No
disaster can come upon us.”
Therefore shall
Zion for your sake be
plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

Zion will be
plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a
heap of
rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.
Now why
dost thou cry out
aloud? is
there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in
travail.
Why do you now cry
aloud? Is
there no king among you? Has your
counselor perished so that
anguish grips you like a woman in labor?
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of
Zion, like a woman in
travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon;
there shalt thou be delivered;
there the LORD shall
redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
Writhe in
agony, O Daughter of
Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon;
there you will be
rescued;
there the LORD will
redeem you from the hand of your enemies!
Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the
remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
Therefore Israel will be abandoned until she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of His brothers will return to the children of Israel.
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of
Nimrod in the entrances
thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
And they will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of
Nimrod with the
blade drawn. So He will deliver us when Assyria invades our land and marches into our borders.
Are
there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the
scant measure that is
abominable?
Can I
forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short
ephah, which is
accursed?
For the rich men
thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants
thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is
deceitful in their mouth.

deceitful in their mouths.

smiting thee, in making thee
desolate because of thy sins.

desolation, and the inhabitants
thereof an
hissing:
therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of
Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel.
Therefore I will make you a
desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the
scorn of the nations.”
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the
vintage:

there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they
hunt every man his brother with a net.

there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they
hunt one another with a net.

But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the
graven image and the
molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art
vile.

Nineveh: “
There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast
idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
He shall recount his
worthies: they shall
stumble in their walk; they shall make
haste to the wall
thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.

summons his nobles; they
stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.
Take ye the
spoil of silver, take the
spoil of gold: for
there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
“
Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!”

treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
The
horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the
glittering spear: and
there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and
there is none end of their corpses; they
stumble upon their corpses:
There is no
healing of thy
bruise; thy wound is
grievous: all that hear the
bruit of thee shall
clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
There is no
healing for your injury; your wound is severe. All who hear the news of you
applaud your
downfall, for who has not experienced your constant cruelty?
Therefore the law is
slacked, and judgment
doth never go forth: for the wicked
doth compass about the righteous;
therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Therefore the law is
paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked
hem in the righteous, so that justice is
perverted.
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their
drag:
therefore they
rejoice and are
glad.
The
foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in his
dragnet, and gathers them in his fishing net; so he rejoices
gladly.
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their
drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat
plenteous.
Therefore he sacrifices to his
dragnet and burns incense to his fishing net, for by these things his portion is
sumptuous and his food is rich.
Shall they
therefore empty their net, and not
spare continually to
slay the nations?
Will he,
therefore, empty his net and continue to
slay nations without mercy?

spoiled many nations, all the
remnant of the people shall
spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell
therein.

plundered many nations, the
remnant of the people will
plunder you— because of your
bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

therein.

Lebanon will
overwhelm you, and the destruction of animals will

What profiteth the
graven image that the maker
thereof hath
graven it; the
molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth
therein, to make
dumb idols?
What use is an
idol, that a
craftsman should
carve it— or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
Woe unto him that saith to the wood,
Awake; to the
dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and
there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Woe to him who says to wood, ‘
Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet
there is no breath in it at all.”

herd in the stalls:

bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,

wail from the Second District, and a loud
crashing from the hills.

Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O
Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that
there shall be no inhabitant.
Woe to the dwellers of the
seacoast, O nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O
Canaan, land of the Philistines: “I will destroy you, and no one will be left.”
And the coast shall be for the
remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed
thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
The coast will belong to the
remnant of the house of Judah;
there they will find pasture. They will lie down in the evening among the houses of Ashkelon, for the LORD their God will attend to them and restore their

Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as
Sodom, and the children of
Ammon as
Gomorrah, even the breeding of
nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual
desolation: the residue of my people shall
spoil them, and the
remnant of my people shall possess them.
Therefore, as surely as I live,” declares the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will be like
Sodom and the
Ammonites like
Gomorrah— a place of weeds and salt pits, a perpetual wasteland. The
remnant of My people will
plunder them; the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.”
This is the
rejoicing city that dwelt
carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and
there is none beside me: how is she become a
desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and
wag his hand.
This carefree city that dwells securely, that thinks to herself: “I am it, and
there is none besides me,” what a ruin she has become, a resting place for beasts.
Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his
fist.
The just LORD is in the midst
thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning
doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at
dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
I have cut off the nations: their towers are
desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that
there is no man, that
there is none inhabitant.
“I have cut off the nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have made their streets deserted with no one to pass through. Their cities are laid waste, with no man, no inhabitant.
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may
assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine
indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be
devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “until the day I rise to
testify. For My decision is to gather nations, to
assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My
indignation— all My burning anger. For all the earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealousy.
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye
clothe you, but
there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a
bag with holes.
You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You
earn wages to put into a
bag pierced through.”
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from
dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
Therefore, on account of you the heavens have
withheld their
dew and the earth has
withheld its crops.
Then answered
Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer
there is unclean.
Then
Haggai replied, “So it is with this people and this nation before Me, declares the LORD, and so it is with every work of their hands; whatever they offer
there is
defiled.

heap of twenty measures,
there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press,
there were but twenty.

there were but ten. When one came to the winepress to draw out fifty baths,
there were but twenty.

Then said I,

thereof, and what is the length
thereof.
“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

livestock within it.

thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a
candlestick all of gold, with a
bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps
thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top
thereof:
“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a
bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the
bowl, and the other upon the left side
thereof.
There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the
bowl and the other on its left.”

Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the
headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
What are you, O great mountain? Before
Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the
capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the
candlestick and upon the left side
thereof?
Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
“What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying
scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”

thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall
consume it with the timber
thereof and the stones
thereof.
I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the
thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”
And, behold,
there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the
ephah.
And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and
there was a woman sitting inside the
basket.
And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the
ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth
thereof.
“This is Wickedness,” he said. And he
shoved her down into the
basket,
