And they do not heed the Holy One of Israel, and of Yahweh Elohim they do not inquire." ² Yet, moreover, He is wise, and will bring evil, and His words He does not take away, and He rises against the house of the evil doers, and against the help of the contrivers of lawlessness." ³ Yet Egyptians are human and not the El, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh is stretching out His hand, then the helper falters; and he who is helped falls. And, together, all of them will be finished."

³ Yet Egyptians are human and not the El, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh is stretching out His hand, then the helper falters; and he who is helped falls. And, together, all of them will be finished."

⁸ And Assyria will fall by a sword, not of a man, and a sword, not of a human, shall devour it. And it flees, not from the presence of the sword, yet its choice men shall become a labor levy."

⁵ For soaked in the heavens shall be My sword. Behold! On Edom shall it descend, and on the people I doom for judgment." ⁶ The sword of Yahweh will be full of blood. It lubricates itself from the fat of lambs, and from the blood of butting rams and he-goats, from the fat of kidneys of rams. For there shall be a sacrifice to Yahweh in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom."

⁶ The sword of Yahweh will be full of blood. It lubricates itself from the fat of lambs, and from the blood of butting rams and he-goats, from the fat of kidneys of rams. For there shall be a sacrifice to Yahweh in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom." ⁷ And down come the uruses with them, and the young bulls with the bulls, and their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil shall be sleek from fat."

⁷ And down come the uruses with them, and the young bulls with the bulls, and their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil shall be sleek from fat." ⁸ For a day of vengeance is it for Yahweh, a year of repayments for the contention of Zion."

²⁴ By the hand of your servants, your messengers, you reproach my Lord! And saying are you, `With a multitude of my chariots I go up the height of the mountains, the flanks of Lebanon, and I will cut the altitude of its cedars, its choice firs, and I will enter the height of its end, the wildwood of its crop land."

²⁴ By the hand of your servants, your messengers, you reproach my Lord! And saying are you, `With a multitude of my chariots I go up the height of the mountains, the flanks of Lebanon, and I will cut the altitude of its cedars, its choice firs, and I will enter the height of its end, the wildwood of its crop land." ²⁵ I scoop and drink waters that are alien, and I will drain with the sole of my footfalls all the waterways of the besieged.'" ²⁶ Have you not heard from afar that it was made by Me? From days aforetime also, I formed it. Now will I bring it, and coming are you to cause tumult, to besieged mounds, defended cities." ²⁷ And their dwellers are shorthanded; they are dismayed and ashamed. They become herbage of the field and green verdure, grass of the housetops, and blasted before raised." ²⁸ Your rising and your sitting and your faring forth and your coming in I know, and your perturbance against Me." ²⁹ Because your perturbance against Me and your tumult ascends in My ears, so I will place My gaff in your nose, and My bit in your lips, and I will reverse you by the way in which you came."

¹⁰ You must not fear, for I am with you, and you must not take heed for yourself, for I am your Elohim. I make you resolute; indeed, I help you. Indeed, I uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.'"

¹³ For I, Yahweh, your Elohim, am holding fast your right hand, saying to you, `You must not fear; I, I help you." ¹⁴ You must not fear, worm Jacob, and death-doomed of Israel, I, I help you,'averring is Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."

¹ And now, thus says Yahweh Elohim, your creator, Jacob, and your Former, Israel:"You must not fear, for I redeemed you, I called you by your name. You are mine." ² In case you are passing through the waters, I am with you. And through the streams, they shall not overflow you. In case you are going through fire, you shall not be scorched, and the blaze shall not consume among you."

⁵ You must not fear, for I am with you! From the rising of the sun will I bring your seed, and from the west will I convene you."

² Thus says Yahweh Elohim, your Maker, and your Former from the belly, and your Helper:"You must not fear, My servant Jacob, and you Upright one whom I choose in him."

²³ By Myself I swear. From My mouth fares forth righteousness, and My word shall not be recalled. For to Me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall acclaim to Elohim."

¹ Down! And sit on the soil, virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the earth, not on a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans! For no more shall they call you, `tender and delicate.'"

⁴ and I will not interpose a human!says our Redeemer. Yahweh of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel."

² for from the holy city are they called, and by the Elohim of Israel are they supported. Yahweh of hosts is His name."

² to herald an acceptable year for Yahweh, and a day of vengeance for our Elohim. To comfort all mourners,

¹ Who is This, coming from humanity, with fermented garments from the vintage? This One, in His clothing of honor, marching in the vastness of His vigor?I, speaking in righteousness, and contending to save!"

⁴ For the day of vengeance came for them, and the year of My redeemed has come."

¹⁵ For, behold! Yahweh shall come with fire! And as a sweeping whirlwind are His chariots, to return with fury, His anger, and His rebuke in blazes of fire." ¹⁶ For with fire Yahweh shall come to judge the entire earth, and by His sword all flesh; and multitudinous are the wounded of Yahweh!"

¹⁹ And I place among them a sign, and I send, from those delivered, to the nations, to Tharshish and Pul and Lud and Meshech and Quesheth, Tubal and Javan, and the coastlands afar, who have not heard of My fame, nor have seen My glory. And they tell of My glory, among the nations."

¹⁰ See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.'"

¹⁴ And Yahweh said unto me, `From the north is the evil loosed against all inhabitants of the land." ¹⁵ For, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north, --an affirmation of Yahweh--and they have come, and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all cities of Judah."

¹⁹ and they have fought against you, and they prevail not against you; for with you [am] I, --an affirmation of Yahweh--to deliver you."

³⁰ In vain I have smitten your sons, Instruction they have not accepted, Devoured has your sword your prophets, As a destroying lion."

⁶ Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction." ⁷ Gone up has a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations has journeyed, He has come forth from his place To make your land become a desolation, Your cities are laid waste, without inhabitant."

²⁷ For thus said Yahweh:All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not."

¹⁰ Go you up on her walls, and destroy, And a completion make not, Turn aside her branches, for they [are] not Yahweh's,

¹⁸ And even in those days, an affirmation of Yahweh, I do not make you a completion."

¹ Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And in Tekoa blow you a trumpet, And over Beth-Haccerem lift you up a flame, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction."

¹ Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And in Tekoa blow you a trumpet, And over Beth-Haccerem lift you up a flame, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction." ² The comely and the delicate one I have cut off, The daughter of Zion." ³ Unto her come do shepherds and their droves, They have stricken tents by her round about, They have fed each [in] his own station." ⁴ Sanctify you against her the battle, Rise, and we go up at noon. Woe to us, for turned has the day, For stretched out are the shades of evening, ⁵ `Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.'"

²⁵ Go not forth to the field, And in the way walk not, For a sword has the enemy, fear [is] round about."

²² Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? For wherefore has not the health of the daughter of my people gone up?

¹⁰ And Yahweh [is] an Elohim of truth, He [is] a living Elohim, and a king eonian, From His wrath shake does the earth, And nations endure not His indignation."

²⁴ Chastise me, O Yahweh, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small."

¹² On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For the sword of Yahweh is consuming, From the end of the land even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh."

² Mourned has Judah, and her gates have languished, They have mourned to the earth, And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up."

¹⁷ And you have said unto them this word:Tears come down mine eyes night and day, And they do not cease, For, [with] a great breach, Broken has been the virgin daughter of my people, A very grievous stroke."

²⁰ And I have made you to this people For a wall--brazen--fenced, And they have fought against you, And they do not prevail against you, For with you [am] I to save you, And to deliver you--an affirmation of Yahweh,

⁵ Thus said Yahweh:Cursed [is] the man who does trust in man, And has made flesh his arm, And from Yahweh whose heart turns." ⁶ And he has been as a naked thing in a desert, And does not see when good comes, And has inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited."

¹⁷ As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck, and not the face, I show them, In the day of their calamity.'"

³ and it comes to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brings out Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah said unto him, `Not Pashhur has Yahweh called your name, but--Magor-Missabib." ⁴ For thus said Yahweh:Lo, I am making you for a fear to yourself, And to all loving you, And they have fallen by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes are beholding, And all Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has removed them to Babylon, And he has smitten them with the sword."

¹⁰ For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear [is] round about:`Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching [for] my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.'" ¹¹ And Yahweh [is] with me, as a terrible mighty one, Therefore my persecutors stumble and prevail not, They have been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely, Confusion eonian is not forgotten."

³ And I do gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the lands whither I drove them, And have brought them back unto their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied." ⁴ And I have raised for them shepherds, And they have fed them, And they fear no more, nor are affrighted, Nor are they lacking--an affirmation of Yahweh."

⁶ In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwells confidently, And this his name that Yahweh proclaims him, `Our Righteousness.'"

¹ The word that has been unto Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, --it [is] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, --"

⁹ Lo, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north--an affirmation of Yahweh--even unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for wastes eonian."

¹⁵ `For thus said Yahweh Elohim of Israel unto me, Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending you;" <sup>16</sup> And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them." <sup>17</sup> `And I take the cup out of the hand of Yahweh, and cause all the nations to drink unto whom Yahweh sent me:" ¹⁸ Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day." ¹⁹ Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,

¹⁹ Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people, ²⁰ And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod, ²¹ Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, ²² And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And the kings of the isle that [is] beyond the sea, ²³ Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard], ²⁴ And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness, ²⁵ And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media, ²⁶ And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinks after them." ²⁷ And you have said unto them:Thus said Yahweh of Hosts Elohim of Israel, Drink you, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you." ²⁸ And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said unto them:Thus said Yahweh of Hosts, You do certainly drink." ²⁹ For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And you--you are entirely acquitted! You are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Yahweh of Hosts." ³⁰ And you, you do prophesy unto them all these words, and have said unto them:Yahweh from the high place does roar, And from His holy habitation gives forth His voice, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as of treaders down, Elohim answers all the inhabitants of the land, ³¹ Wasting has come unto the end of the earth, For a controversy has Yahweh with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, The wicked! He has given them to the sword, An affirmation of Yahweh." ³² Thus said Yahweh of Hosts:Lo, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth." ³³ And the pierced of Yahweh have been in that day, From the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are." ³⁴ Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you honorable of the flock, For full have been your days, For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel." ³⁵ And perished has refuge from the shepherds, And escape from the honorable of the flock." ³⁶ A voice [is] of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the honorable of the flock, For Yahweh is spoiling their pasture." ³⁷ And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Yahweh." ³⁸ He has forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!"

⁹ Wherefore have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, `As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh."

¹⁴ And I have been found of you--an affirmation of Yahweh; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places whither I have driven you--an affirmation of Yahweh--and I have brought you back unto the place whence I removed you."

⁵ Surely thus said Yahweh:A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear--and there is no peace."

¹⁰ And you, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Yahweh, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling." ¹¹ For with you [am] I, An affirmation of Yahweh--to save you, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered you, Only, of you I do not make an end, And I have chastised you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you."

¹¹ For with you [am] I, An affirmation of Yahweh--to save you, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered you, Only, of you I do not make an end, And I have chastised you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you." ¹² For thus said Yahweh:Incurable is your breach, grievous your stroke, ¹³ There is none judging your cause to bind up, Healing medicines there are none for you." ¹⁴ all loving you have forgotten you, You they do not seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote you, The chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Mighty have been your sins!" ¹⁵ What! --you cry concerning your breach! Incurable [is] your pain, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Mighty have been your sins! I have done these to you."

⁸ Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one--together, A great assembly--they turn back hither." ⁹ With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way--they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim--My first-born [is] he." ¹⁰ Hear a word of Yahweh, O nations, And declare you among isles afar off, and say:He who is scattering Israel does gather him, And has kept him as a shepherd [does] his flock, ¹¹ For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he."

³⁷ Lo, I am gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back unto this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;"

⁴² `For thus said Yahweh:As I brought in unto this people all this great evil, so I am bringing in on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;" ⁴³ and bought has been the field in this land of which you are saying, A desolation it [is], without man and beast, it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans." ⁴⁴ Fields with money they buy, so as to write in a book, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in suburbs of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I turn back their captivity--an affirmation of Yahweh.'"

¹⁶ In those days is Judah saved, And Jerusalem does dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Yahweh proclaims to her:`Our Righteousness.'"

²⁴ `Have you not considered what this people have spoken, saying:The two families on which Yahweh fixed, He does reject them, And my people they despise--So that they are no more a people before them!" ²⁵ Thus said Yahweh:If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed--" ²⁶ Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'"

²² Lo, I am commanding--an affirmation of Yahweh--and have brought them back unto this city, and they have fought against it, and captured it, and burned it with fire, and the cities of Judah I do make a desolation--without inhabitant.'"

¹ And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word has been unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:"

¹⁴ saying, No; but the land of Egypt we enter, that we see no war, and the sound of a trumpet do not hear, and for bread be not hungry; and there do we dwell." ¹⁵ And now, therefore, hear you a word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah:Thus said Yahweh of Hosts, Elohim of Israel:If you really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone in to sojourn there, ¹⁶ then it has come to pass, the sword that you are afraid of, does there overtake you, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which you are sorrowful, does there cleave after you in Egypt, and there you die."

⁸ And there is a word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, ⁹ `Take in your hand great stones, and you have hidden them, in the clay, in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah, <sup>10</sup> and you have said unto them:Thus said Yahweh of Hosts, Elohim of Israel:`Lo, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he has stretched out his pavilion over them, ¹¹ and he has come, and smitten the land of Egypt--those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword." ¹² And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the elohims of Egypt, and it has burned them, and he has taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as cover himself does the shepherd with his garment, and he has gone forth thence in peace;" ¹³ and he has broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and the houses of the elohims of Egypt he does burn with fire.'"

¹ The word that has been unto Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt--who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros--saying,

²⁶ `Therefore, hear you a word of Yahweh, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt:Lo, I--I have sworn by My great name, said Yahweh, My name is no more proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Live does the Lord Yahweh--in all the land of Egypt."

³⁰ Thus said Yahweh, Lo, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.'"

¹ The word that Jeremiah the prophet has spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:"

² For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:" ³ `Set you in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle." ⁴ Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail." ⁵ Wherefore have I seen them dismayed--They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about--an affirmation of Yahweh." ⁶ The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen."

⁹ Go up, you horses; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling--treading the bow." ¹⁰ And that day [is] to the Lord Yahweh of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Yahweh of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat." ¹¹ Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain you have multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for you." ¹² Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen--both of them!'"

¹⁴ `Declare you in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say:Station yourself, yea, prepare for you, For a sword has devoured around you, ¹⁵ Wherefore has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because Yahweh thrust him away."

¹⁵ Wherefore has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because Yahweh thrust him away." ¹⁶ He has multiplied the stumbling, Yea one has fallen upon his neighbor, And they say:Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword."

¹⁶ He has multiplied the stumbling, Yea one has fallen upon his neighbor, And they say:Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword."

¹⁹ Goods for removal make for you, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burnt up, without inhabitant." ²⁰ A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north does come into her." ²¹ Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection."

²⁴ Ashamed has been the daughter of Egypt, She has been given into the hand of the people of the north."

² `Thus said Yahweh:Lo, waters are coming up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fulness, The city, and the inhabitants in it, And men have cried out, And howled has every inhabitant of the land." ³ From the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, the noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned unto sons, From feebleness of hands,

¹⁵ Spoiled is Moab, and her cities has one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Yahweh of Hosts [is] His name."

¹⁸ Come down from honor, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab has come up to you, He has destroyed your fenced places."

³⁴ Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations."

⁴⁷ And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days, An affirmation of Yahweh! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab."

²¹ From the noise of their fall has the earth shaken, The cry--at the sea of Suph is its voice heard."

²⁹ Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round about."

³⁹ And it has come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Yahweh!'"

¹¹ Because you rejoice, because you exult, O spoilers of Mine inheritance, Because you increase as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And do cry aloud as bulls,

¹⁵ Shout against her round about, She has given forth her hand, Fallen have her foundations, Thrown down have been her walls, For it [is] the vengeance of Yahweh, Be avenged of her, as she did--do you to her." ¹⁶ Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each unto his people--they turn, And each to his land--they flee."

¹⁹ And I have brought back Israel unto his habitation, And he has fed on Carmel, and on Bashan. And in mount Ephraim, and on Gilead is his soul satisfied."

²⁷ Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for come has their day, The time of their inspection."

³² And stumbled has pride, And he has fallen, and has no raiser up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it has devoured all round about him."

³ Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have you pity on her young men, Devote you to destruction all her host."

⁶ Flee you from the midst of Babylon, And deliver you each his soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance it [is] to Yahweh, Recompence He is rendering to her."

⁸ Suddenly has Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl you for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed." ⁹ We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens has its judgment, And it has been lifted up unto the clouds."

¹¹ Cleanse you the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up has Yahweh the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Yahweh it [is], The vengeance of His temple." ¹² Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For Yahweh has both devised and done that which He spoke, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon."

¹⁷ Brutish has been every man by knowledge, Put to shame has been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image, And there is no breath in them."

²⁰ An axe [are] you to me--weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces by you nations, And I have destroyed by you kingdoms, ²¹ And I have broken in pieces by you horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by you chariot and its charioteer, ²² And I have broken in pieces by you man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by you old and young, And I have broken in pieces by you young man and virgin, ²³ And I have broken in pieces by you shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by you husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by you governors and prefects."

²⁹ And shake does the land, and it is pained, For stood against Babylon have the purposes of Yahweh, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant." ³⁰ Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Failed has their might, they have become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been her bars."

⁵⁴ A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean."

³ And you, son of man, make to you vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and you have removed from your place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they [are]." ⁴ And you have brought forth your vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and you, you do go forth at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal." ⁵ Before their eyes dig for you through the wall, and you have brought forth by it." ⁶ Before their eyes on the shoulder you do bear, in the darkness you do bring forth, your face you do cover, and you do not see the earth, for a type I have given you to the house of Israel.'" ⁷ And I do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before their eyes." ⁸ And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, in the morning, saying, ⁹ `Son of man, have they not said unto you--the house of Israel--the rebellious house--What are you doing? <sup>10</sup> say unto them, Thus said the Lord Yahweh:`The prince [is] this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst." ¹¹ Say:I [am] your type; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go." ¹² As to the prince who [is] in their midst, on the shoulder he bears in the darkness, and he goes forth, through the wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covers, that he may not look on the very surface of the land."

⁴⁶ Son of man, set your face the way of Teman, and prophesy unto the south, and prophesy unto the forest of the field--the south;"

⁹ `Son of man, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Yahweh, say:A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also polished." ¹⁰ So as to slaughter a slaughter it is sharpened. So as to have brightness it is polished, Desire has rejoiced the sceptre of my son, It is despising every tree." ¹¹ And he gives it for polishing, For laying hold of by the hand. It is sharpened--the sword--and polished, To give it into the hand of a slayer."

²⁸ And you, son of man, prophesy, and you have said:Thus said the Lord Yahweh concerning the sons of Ammon, and concerning their reproach:and you have said:A sword, a sword, open for slaughter, Polished to the utmost for brightness!"

¹⁰ Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in your forces--your men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in you, They--they have given out your honor."

¹⁰ Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in your forces--your men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in you, They--they have given out your honor." ¹¹ The sons of Arvad, and your force, [Are] on your walls round about, And short swordsmen in your towers have been, Their shields they have hung up on your walls round about, They--they have perfected your beauty."

¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel--they [are] your merchants, For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm, They have given out your merchandise."

¹ In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth of the month, has a word of Yahweh been unto me, saying, ² `Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt--all of it." ³ Speak, and you have said:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who has said, My flood [is] my own, And I--I have made it [for] myself."

³ Speak, and you have said:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who has said, My flood [is] my own, And I--I have made it [for] myself." ⁴ And I have put hooks in your jaws, And I have caused the fish of your floods to cleave to your scales, And I have caused you to come up from the midst of your floods, And every fish of your floods to your scales does cleave." ⁵ And I have left you in the wilderness, You and every fish of your floods, On the face of the field you do fall, You are not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens I have given you for food." ⁶ And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I [am] Yahweh, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of Israel." ⁷ In their taking hold of you by your hand, --you are crushed, And have rent to them all the shoulder, And in their leaning on you you are broken, And have caused all their thighs to stand." ⁸ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I am bringing in against you a sword, And have cut off from you man and beast."

⁸ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I am bringing in against you a sword, And have cut off from you man and beast." ⁹ And the land of Egypt has been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh. Because he said:The flood [is] mine, and I made [it]."

⁹ And the land of Egypt has been for a desolation and a waste, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh. Because he said:The flood [is] mine, and I made [it]." ¹⁰ Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, and against your floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush."

¹⁰ Therefore, lo, I [am] against you, and against your floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush." ¹¹ Not pass over into it does a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast does not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years."

¹¹ Not pass over into it does a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast does not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years." ¹² And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands."

¹² And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through lands." ¹³ But thus said the Lord Yahweh:At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered,

¹³ But thus said the Lord Yahweh:At the end of forty years I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have been scattered, ¹⁴ And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom."

¹⁴ And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom." ¹⁵ Of the kingdoms it is low, And it lifts not up itself any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not to rule among nations." ¹⁶ And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence, Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Yahweh.'" ¹⁷ And it comes to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, has a word of Yahweh been unto me, saying:" ¹⁸ `Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Has caused his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head [is] bald--every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against it." ¹⁹ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh, Lo, I am giving to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he has taken away its store, And has taken its spoil, and taken its prey, And it has been a reward to his force." ²⁰ His wage for which he labored I have given to him, The land of Egypt--in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh." ²¹ In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of Israel, And to you I give an opening of the mouth in their midst, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh!'"

⁴ And come in has a sword to Egypt, And there has been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And broken down have been its foundations." ⁵ Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant with them by sword do fall, ⁶ Thus said Yahweh:And--fallen have supporters of Egypt, And come down has the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh."

¹³ Thus said the Lord Yahweh:And--I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of Egypt."

¹³ Thus said the Lord Yahweh:And--I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of Egypt." ¹⁴ And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No, ¹⁵ And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No." ¹⁶ And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph has daily distresses."

¹⁶ And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph has daily distresses." ¹⁷ The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And these into captivity do go." ¹⁸ And in Tehaphnehes has the day been dark, In My breaking there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her has the excellency of her strength, She--a cloud does cover her, And her daughters into captivity do go."

²¹ The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it has not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it--to lay hold on the sword." ²² Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand, ²³ And scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, ²⁴ And strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he has groaned the groans of a pierced one--before him." ²⁵ And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh do fall down, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has stretched it out toward the land of Egypt."

¹⁸ Unto whom have you been thus like, In honor and in greatness among the trees of Eden, And you have been brought down with the trees of Eden, Unto the earth--the lower part, In the midst of the uncircumcised you lie, With the pierced of the sword? It [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh!'"

² `Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and you have said unto him:A young lion of nations you have been like, And you [are] as a dragon in the seas, And you come forth with your flowings, And do trouble the waters with your feet, And you do foul their flowings."

⁹ And I have vexed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing in your destruction among nations, Unto lands that you have not known." ¹⁰ And I have made many peoples astonished at you, And their kings are afraid at you with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life--in the day of your fall."

¹⁰ And I have made many peoples astonished at you, And their kings are afraid at you with trembling, In My brandishing My sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment, Each for his life--in the day of your fall." ¹¹ For thus said the Lord Yahweh:A sword of the king of Babylon enters you,

¹¹ For thus said the Lord Yahweh:A sword of the king of Babylon enters you, ¹² By swords of the mighty I cause your multitude to fall, The terrible of nations--all of them, And they have spoiled the excellency of Egypt, And destroyed has been all her multitude."

¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food." ¹¹ For thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I--even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out." ¹² As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness." ¹³ And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land." ¹⁴ With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel."

²⁵ And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests." ²⁶ And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are."

⁵ Because of your having an enmity eonian, And you do saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:"

²⁴ And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you in unto your land,

²¹ and speak you unto them:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land." ²² And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again."

⁶ And I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the confident inhabitants of the isles, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh." ⁷ And My holy name I make known in the midst of My people Israel, And I pollute not My holy name any more, And known have the nations that I, Yahweh, the Holy One, [am] in Israel."

¹⁷ And you, son of man, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Say to the bird--every wing, and to every beast of the field:Be assembled and come in, Be gathered from round about, For My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on mountains of Israel, And you have eaten flesh, and drunk blood." ¹⁸ Flesh of the mighty you do eat, And blood of princes of the earth you drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan--all of them." ¹⁹ And you have eaten fat to satiety, And you have drunk blood--to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you." ²⁰ And you have been satisfied at My table with horse and rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh." ²¹ And I have given My honor among nations, And seen have all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them."

²⁵ Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh:Now do I bring back the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of Israel, And have been zealous for My holy name."

³⁵ Then pulverized, as one, are the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold, and they are as chaff from summer threshing sites, and the wind lifts them up, and no place at all is found for them. And the stone that collides with the image becomes a vast mountain range, and fills all the earth."

²⁶ After the sixty-two sevens, Messiah will be cut off, and there is no adjudication for Him. The city and the holy place shall be laid in ruins with the other governor's coming; then its end is by an overflow, and till the end of the war desolations will be decided."

¹⁹ Then he shall turn his face to the strongholds of his own land. Yet he is stumbled and falls and will not be found."

²² Now the armed forces of the overwhelmer will be overwhelmed from before him and will be broken, even the governor of the covenant."

⁷ The days of visitation shall come; the days of repayment shall come, and Israel shall know it. The prophet is foolish; the man of the spirit is mad on account of the multitude of your depravity, and the vast grudging."

¹¹ Yet Ephraim is a heifer being taught, loving to thresh; and I pass the yoke over her good neck; I will cause Ephraim to be ridden. Judah shall plow; Jacob will harrow for him."

¹⁵ Alas! Alas! Alas for the day! For near is the day of Yahweh. And as devastation from Him Who-Suffices is it coming.

¹ Blow the trumpet in Zion! And shout in My holy mountain! All the dwellers of the land shall be disturbed, for coming is the day of Yahweh! For it is near!"

²⁵ I will repay to you for the years which the locust devoured, the grub and the beetle and the larva, My great army which I sent among you."

⁹ Proclaim this among the nations! Hallow a war! Rouse the masters! All the mortals of war shall come close and ascend.

⁹ Proclaim this among the nations! Hallow a war! Rouse the masters! All the mortals of war shall come close and ascend. ¹⁰ Pound your mattocks into swords and your pruning hooks into lances! The defeatist shall say, a master am I!" ¹¹ Mobilize and come, all nations from round about! And they are convened. There, Yahweh, settle Your masters!" ¹² All the nations shall rouse and ascend to the vale of Jehoshaphat. For there will I sit to judge all the nations from round about.

¹⁴ Yet fleeing shall perish from the fleet one, and the steadfast shall not make his vigor resolute, and the master shall not escape with his soul, ¹⁵ and the one handling the bow shall not stand, and the one fleet on his feet shall not escape, and the rider of the horse shall not escape with his soul,

⁴ those lying on couches of ivory, and who extend themselves on their divans, and are eating the butting lambs from the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;"

⁸ Over this, shall not the land be disturbed? And everyone dwelling in it mourn? And it will ascend as a waterway, all of it, and it will be driven out and will be drowned as the waterway of Egypt."

¹ I see Yahweh stationed over the altar, and He is saying, Smite the sphere-like capital, and the thresholds will quake; clip them at the head, all of them, and I will kill the hindmost of them with the sword. He shall not flee with those who are fleeing, and he shall not escape with those who are delivered." ² If they are burrowing into the unseen, thence My hand will take them. And if they are ascending to the heavens, thence will I bring them down." ³ And if they are hiding in the summit of Carmel, thence will I search and take them. And if they are concealed from in front of My eyes on the floor of the sea, thence will I instruct the serpent, and it will bite them."

⁸ Behold! the eyes of my Lord Yahweh are on the sinning kingdom, and I will exterminate it off the surface of the ground, only that I will not utterly exterminate the house of Jacob, (averring is Yahweh)." ⁹ For behold! I am instructing, and I will jerk the house of Israel to and fro, among all nations, just as grain in a sieve is jerked to and fro, yet a pouch-full shall not fall to the earth."

¹⁴ And I will reverse the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the desolated cities and dwell in them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and shall make gardens and eat their fruit."

¹³ You must not enter into the gateway of My people, in the day of their calamity. Moreover, you must not see his evil, in the day of his calamity. And you must not be set to fight against his army, in the day of his calamity."

⁸ On this account will I wail and howl; I will go looted and naked. I will make a wailing as the jackals, and a mourning as the daughters of the ostrich;" ⁹ for her smiting is mortal, for it comes unto Judah. It touches unto the gateway of my people, unto Jerusalem."

⁴ Their good is as prickly nightshade; their uprightness is a hedge. The day of your watchmen, your visitation, comes; now shall be their perplexity."

¹¹ A day to build your stone dikes comes; in that day the delineating limit shall be put far off. ¹² In that day also, unto you shall they come from Assyria and the cities of lower Egypt, and from Tyre and unto the stream, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain." ¹³ Yet first the land becomes a desolation, on account of its dwellers, because of the fruit of their actions." ¹⁴ Shepherd Your people with Your club, the flock of Your allotment, tabernacling solitary in the wildwood in the midst of Carmel. They shall graze in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of the eon." ¹⁵ As the days of your faring forth from the land of Egypt, will I show marvels to them." ¹⁶ The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their mastery. They will place a hand on the mouth. Their ears will be deaf.

¹⁶ The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their mastery. They will place a hand on the mouth. Their ears will be deaf.

¹ The shatterer comes up to adjoin you. Preserve the siege work; watch the way. Make your waist steadfast; make your vigor exceedingly resolute.

³ The shield of his masters shall be reddened; the mortals of valor are in crimson. With the fiery flash of hub-blades is the chariot, in the day of its preparation, and the horsemen are caused to shiver." ⁴ In the streets the chariots are raving; they are prowling in the squares. Their appearance is as torches of fire; as lightnings are they running.

⁸ Nineveh was as a reservoir of water from her days of old; now they are fleeing. Stand! Stand! Yet there is no one facing about.

¹³ Behold Me against you, (averring is Yahweh of hosts); I consume her chariots in smoke, and your sheltered lions, the sword shall devour. I cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers is no longer heard."

⁸ Are you better than No-Amon, the dweller among the waterways, water round about her, whose rampart is the sea and water is her wall?

⁸ Are you better than No-Amon, the dweller among the waterways, water round about her, whose rampart is the sea and water is her wall? ⁹ Ethiopia is her staunchness, also Egypt, and there is no end; Phut and Lubim became your help."

⁹ Ethiopia is her staunchness, also Egypt, and there is no end; Phut and Lubim became your help."

⁹ Ethiopia is her staunchness, also Egypt, and there is no end; Phut and Lubim became your help." ¹⁰ Moreover, she was for deportation; she goes into captivity. Moreover, her unweaned children are being dashed to pieces at the head of all the streets, and over all her glorious ones, they handle the lot. And all her great ones are chained with manacles."

¹⁴ Bail for yourself water for the siege! Repair your fortresses! Come into the mud, and tramp in the crushed straw! Repair the brickwork!"

¹⁹ There is no dimming of your breaking; your blow is ailing. All hearing the report of you will clasp hands over you, for over whom did not your evil pass continually?

² WITH A SONG Yahweh, I hear Your report, I fear, Yahweh, Your contrivance; within the years make it live; within the years are You informing. In the disturbance You are remembering compassion."

⁷ Hist! At the presence of my Lord, Yahweh, for near is the day of Yahweh! For Yahweh prepares a sacrifice; he sanctifies His called ones." ⁸ It comes in the day of Yahweh's sacrifice that I visit evil on the chiefs and on the king's sons, and on all those clothed in foreign clothing."

¹⁰ There comes in that day, (averring is Yahweh), a sound of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the second quarter, and a great breaking from the hills:"

¹⁴ Near is the great day of Yahweh! Near and exceedingly swift! The sound of the day of Yahweh! The master shall shriek there bitterly. ¹⁵ A day of rage is that day, a day of distress and constraint, a day of futility and futile effort, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of cloud and murkiness,

⁵ Woe to the dwellers of the sea board, the sojourners of the Cherethites! The word of Yahweh is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines! And I will destroy you, that there be no dweller."

¹¹ Yahweh will be fearful against them, for He will make all the elohim of the earth lean; and all the coastlands of the nations, each man from his place, shall worship Him."

⁸ For thus says Yahweh of hosts:After the glory He sends me to the nations, your looters; for he who is touching you is touching the apple of My eye."

² Howl, fir tree, for the cedar falls, when the noble ones are devastated. Howl, oaks of Bashan, for the defended wildwood comes down."

¹⁴ And cursed be the plotter, when there is a male in his drove, and his vow is on him, yet he is sacrificing what is ruined to Yahweh. For a great King am I, says Yahweh of hosts, and My name is feared among the nations."

²³ "Lo! The virgin shall be pregnant
And shall be bringing forth a Son,
And they shall be calling His name 'Emmanuel,'
which is, being construed, "God with us."

²⁶ Verily I am saying to you, By no means may you be coming out thence till you should be paying the last quadrans.

³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is a footstool for His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King;

²⁰ teaching them to be keeping all, whatever I direct you. And lo! I am with you all the days till the conclusion of the eon! Amen!"

⁴³ And a woman, having a hemorrhage for twelve years, whose whole livelihood is being consumed by physicians, is not strong enough to be cured by anyone." ⁴⁴ Approaching from behind, she touches the tassel of His cloak. And instantly, stanched was her hemorrhage."

²² for days of vengeance are these, to fulfill all that is written."

¹⁰ Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and the repatriated Romans, both Jews and proselytes,

¹⁰ because I am with you, and no one shall place hands on you to illtreat you, because there are many people of Mine in this city."

²⁹ Or is He the god of the Jews only? Is He not of the nations also?

¹⁵ For if their casting away is the conciliation of the world, what will the taking back be if not life from among the dead? ¹⁶ Now if the firstfruit is holy, the kneading is also; and if the root is holy, the boughs are also." ¹⁷ Now if some of the boughs are broken out, yet you, being a wild olive, are grafted among them, and became a joint participant of the root and fatness of the olive,

⁸ Who will be confirming you also until the consummation, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

³² Yet, being judged, we are being disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."

¹⁷ Now to the King of the eons, the incorruptible, invisible, only, and wise God, be honor and glory for the eons of the eons! Amen!"

¹⁷ May it not be reckoned against them! Yet the Lord stood beside me, and He invigorates me, that through me the heralding may be fully discharged, and all the nations should hear; and I am rescued out of the mouth of the lion."

⁵ And you have been oblivious of the entreaty which is arguing with you as with sons: My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord, Nor yet faint when being exposed by Him." ⁶ For whom the Lord is loving He is disciplining, Yet He is scourging every son to whom He is assenting." ⁷ For discipline are you enduring. As to sons is God bringing it to you, for what son is there whom the father is not disciplining? ⁸ Now if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, consequently you are bastards and not sons." ⁹ Thereafter, indeed, we had the fathers of our flesh as discipliners, and we respected them. Yet shall we not much rather be subjected to the Father of spirits and be living." ¹⁰ For these, indeed, disciplined for a few days as it seemed best to them, yet that One for our expedience, for us to be partaking of His holiness."

¹⁹ '"Whosoever I may be fond of, I am exposing and disciplining. Be zealous, then, and repent!"

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the magnates, and the captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every slave and freeman, hide themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains." ¹⁶ And they are saying to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him Who is sitting on the throne, and from the indignation of the Lambkin, ¹⁷ for the great day of Their indignation came, and who is able to stand?

² And he opens the well of the submerged chaos, and fumes ascended out of the well as the smoke of a large furnace, and the sun and the air are darkened by the fumes of the well." ³ And out of the fumes came out locusts into the earth, and license was granted them as the scorpions of the earth have license." ⁴ And it was declared to them that they should not be injuring the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, except those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads." ⁵ And it was granted to them, not that they should be killing them, but that they shall be tormented five months; and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, whenever it should be striking a man." ⁶ And in those days men will be seeking death, and under no circumstances shall they be finding it. And they will be yearning to die, and death is fleeing from them." ⁷ And the likenesses of the locusts are like horses made ready for battle, and on their heads are as it were wreaths like gold, and their faces are as it were human faces, ⁸ and they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth are as if they were lions'." ⁹ And they had cuirasses, as it were cuirasses of iron, and the sound of their wings is as the sound of many chariot horses racing into battle." ¹⁰ And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their license is to injure mankind five months with their tails."

¹⁵ And the serpent casts water as a river out of its mouth after the woman, that she should be carried away by its current."

¹⁷ And I perceived another messenger, standing in the sun. And he cries with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which are flying in mid-heaven, "Hither! Be gathered for the great dinner of God, ¹⁸ that you may be eating the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all freemen as well as slaves, and of small and of great." ¹⁹ And I perceived the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered to do battle with Him Who is sitting on the horse and with His army." ²⁰ And the wild beast is arrested, and with it the false prophet who does the signs in its sight, by which he deceives those getting the emblem of the wild beast, and those worshiping its image. Living, the two were cast into the lake of fire burning with sulphur." ²¹ And the rest were killed with the blade which is coming out of the mouth of Him Who is sitting on the horse. And all the birds are satisfied with their flesh.
