1. Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
|
1. Woe H1945 to the rebellious H5637 children H1121 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that take H6213 counsel H6098 , but not H3808 of H4480 me ; and that cover H5258 with a covering H4541 , but not H3808 of my spirit H7307 , that H4616 they may add H5595 sin H2403 to H5921 sin H2403 :
|
|
2. that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
|
2. That walk H1980 to go down H3381 into Egypt H4714 , and have not H3808 asked H7592 at my mouth H6310 ; to strengthen H5810 themselves in the strength H4581 of Pharaoh H6547 , and to trust H2620 in the shadow H6738 of Egypt H4714 !
|
|
3. Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
|
3. Therefore shall the strength H4581 of Pharaoh H6547 be H1961 your shame H1322 , and the trust H2622 in the shadow H6738 of Egypt H4714 your confusion H3639 .
|
|
4. For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.
|
4. For H3588 his princes H8269 were H1961 at Zoan H6814 , and his ambassadors H4397 came H5060 to Hanes H2609 .
|
|
5. They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
|
5. They were all H3605 ashamed H954 of H5921 a people H5971 that could not H3808 profit H3276 them, nor H3808 be a help H5828 nor H3808 profit H3276 , but H3588 a shame H1322 , and also H1571 a reproach H2781 .
|
|
6. The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
|
6. The burden H4853 of the beasts H929 of the south H5045 : into the land H776 of trouble H6869 and anguish H6695 , from H4480 whence come the young H3833 and old lion H3918 , the viper H660 and fiery flying serpent H8314 H5774 , they will carry H5375 their riches H2428 upon H5921 the shoulders H3802 of young asses H5895 , and their treasures H214 upon H5921 the bunches H1707 of camels H1581 , to H5921 a people H5971 that shall not H3808 profit H3276 them .
|
|
7. For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.
|
7. For the Egyptians H4714 shall help H5826 in vain H1892 , and to no purpose H7385 : therefore H3651 have I cried H7121 concerning this H2063 , Their strength H7293 is to sit still H7674 .
|
|
8. Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.
|
8. Now H6258 go H935 , write H3789 it before H854 them in H5921 a table H3871 , and note H2710 it in H5921 a book H5612 , that it may be H1961 for the time H3117 to come H314 forever H5703 and ever H5704 H5769 :
|
|
9. For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
|
9. That H3588 this H1931 is a rebellious H4805 people H5971 , lying H3586 children H1121 , children H1121 that will H14 not H3808 hear H8085 the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 :
|
|
10. that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
|
10. Which H834 say H559 to the seers H7200 , See H7200 not H3808 ; and to the prophets H2374 , Prophesy H2372 not H3808 unto us right things H5229 , speak H1696 unto us smooth things H2513 , prophesy H2372 deceits H4123 :
|
|
11. get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
|
11. Get H5493 you out of H4480 the way H1870 , turn aside H5186 out of H4480 the path H734 , cause H853 the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 to cease H7673 from before H4480 H6440 us.
|
|
12. Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;
|
12. Wherefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 , Because H3282 ye despise H3988 this H2088 word H1697 , and trust H982 in oppression H6233 and perverseness H3868 , and stay H8172 thereon H5921 :
|
|
13. therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.
|
13. Therefore H3651 this H2088 iniquity H5771 shall be H1961 to you as a breach H6556 ready to fall H5307 , swelling out H1158 in a high H7682 wall H2346 , whose H834 breaking H7667 cometh H935 suddenly H6597 at an instant H6621 .
|
|
14. And he shall break it as a potters vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.
|
14. And he shall break H7665 it as the breaking H7667 of the potter H3335 's vessel H5035 that is broken in pieces H3807 ; he shall not H3808 spare H2550 : so that there shall not H3808 be found H4672 in the bursting H4386 of it a shard H2789 to take H2846 fire H784 from the hearth H4480 H3344 , or to take H2834 water H4325 withal out of the pit H4480 H1360 .
|
|
15. For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:
|
15. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 , the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 ; In returning H7729 and rest H5183 shall ye be saved H3467 ; in quietness H8252 and in confidence H985 shall be H1961 your strength H1369 : and ye would H14 not H3808 .
|
|
16. but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
|
16. But ye said H559 , No H3808 ; for H3588 we will flee H5127 upon H5921 horses H5483 ; therefore H5921 H3651 shall ye flee H5127 : and , We will ride H7392 upon H5921 the swift H7031 ; therefore H5921 H3651 shall they that pursue H7291 you be swift H7043 .
|
|
17. One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
|
17. One H259 thousand H505 shall flee at H4480 H6440 the rebuke H1606 of one H259 ; at H4480 H6440 the rebuke H1606 of five H2568 shall ye flee H5127 : till H5704 H518 ye be left H3498 as a beacon H8650 upon H5921 the top H7218 of a mountain H2022 , and as an ensign H5251 on H5921 a hill H1389 .
|
|
18. And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.
|
18. And therefore H3651 will the LORD H3068 wait H2442 , that he may be gracious H2603 unto you , and therefore H3651 will he be exalted H7311 , that he may have mercy H7355 upon you: for H3588 the LORD H3068 is a God H430 of judgment H4941 : blessed H835 are all H3605 they that wait H2442 for him.
|
|
19. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee.
|
19. For H3588 the people H5971 shall dwell H3427 in Zion H6726 at Jerusalem H3389 : thou shalt weep no more H1058 H1058 H3808 : he will be very gracious H2603 H2603 unto thee at the voice H6963 of thy cry H2199 ; when he shall hear H8085 it , he will answer H6030 thee.
|
|
20. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers;
|
20. And though the Lord H136 give H5414 you the bread H3899 of adversity H6862 , and the water H4325 of affliction H3906 , yet shall not H3808 thy teachers H3384 be removed into a corner H3670 any more H5750 , but thine eyes H5869 shall H1961 see H7200 H853 thy teachers H3384 :
|
|
21. and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
|
21. And thine ears H241 shall hear H8085 a word H1697 behind H4480 H310 thee, saying H559 , This H2088 is the way H1870 , walk H1980 ye in it, when H3588 ye turn to the right hand H541 , and when H3588 ye turn to the left H8041 .
|
|
22. And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
|
22. Ye shall defile H2930 also H853 the covering H6826 of thy graven images H6456 of silver H3701 , and the ornament H642 of thy molten images H4541 of gold H2091 : thou shalt cast them away H2219 as H3644 a menstruous cloth H1739 ; thou shalt say H559 unto it , Get thee hence H3318 .
|
|
23. And he will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
|
23. Then shall he give H5414 the rain H4306 of thy seed H2233 , that H834 thou shalt sow H2232 H853 the ground H127 withal ; and bread H3899 of the increase H8393 of the earth H127 , and it shall be H1961 fat H1879 and plenteous H8082 : in that H1931 day H3117 shall thy cattle H4735 feed H7462 in large H7337 pastures H3733 .
|
|
24. the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
|
24. The oxen H504 likewise and the young asses H5895 that ear H5647 the ground H127 shall eat H398 clean H2548 provender H1098 , which H834 hath been winnowed H2219 with the shovel H7371 and with the fan H4214 .

|
|
26. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
|
26. Moreover the light H216 of the moon H3842 shall be H1961 as the light H216 of the sun H2535 , and the light H216 of the sun H2535 shall be H1961 sevenfold H7659 , as the light H216 of seven H7651 days H3117 , in the day H3117 that the LORD H3068 bindeth up H2280 H853 the breach H7667 of his people H5971 , and healeth H7495 the stroke H4273 of their wound H4347 .

|
|
28. and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
|
28. And his breath H7307 , as an overflowing H7857 stream H5158 , shall reach to the midst H2673 of H5704 the neck H6677 , to sift H5130 the nations H1471 with the sieve H5299 of vanity H7723 : and there shall be a bridle H7448 in H5921 the jaws H3895 of the people H5971 , causing them to err H8582 .
|
|
29. Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.

|
|
32. And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing of his arm will he fight with them.
|
32. And in every place H3605 where the grounded H4145 staff H4294 shall pass H4569 , which H834 the LORD H3068 shall lay H5117 upon H5921 him, it shall be H1961 with tabrets H8596 and harps H3658 : and in battles H4421 of shaking H8573 will he fight H3898 with it.
