¹ Come now you rich, weep, howling in your miseries, in those which are coming upon you. ² Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. ³ Your gold and silver have tarnished, and their tarnish will be for a testimony against you and will be eating your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in your^\'b0 last days.

³ Because out of the wine of the fury of her fornication all the nations have fallen, and the kings of the earth fornicated with her and the merchants of the earth were enriched from the power of her promiscuity.

¹¹ And the merchants of the earth will weep and will mourn over her, because no one is buying their cargo anymore; ¹² cargo of gold, silver, precious stone, pearl, fine-linen, purple, silk, scarlet, every citron wood thing, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made out of the most precious wood and from brass, iron and marble; ¹³ and cinnamon, spice, incenses, perfume, frankincense, wine, oil, fine-flour, grain, sheep, other animals, and of horses and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men. ¹⁴ And the autumn-fruits of lust of your soul have gone away from you and all things which were luxurious and bright have perished from you and you may never find them anymore. ¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who were enriched from her, will be standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, while weeping and mourning. ¹⁶ And they are saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she who has been dressed in fine-linen, and purple and scarlet and has been arrayed in gold, precious stone and pearls! ¹⁷ Because in an hour so-many riches was made desolate. And every helmsman and everyone who sails any place and sailors and as many as are working from the sea, stood from afar,

²⁸ And there you* will serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

² And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he did not enter into the temple of Jehovah. And the people still did corruptly.

² but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and also made molten images for the Baals.
³ Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom and burnt his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the sons of Israel. ⁴ And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

²³ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which killed* him. And he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, therefore I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
²⁴ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God and shut up the doors of the house of Jehovah. And he made altars for him in every corner of Jerusalem. ²⁵ And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of his fathers.

³ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down. And he reared up altars for the Baals and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. ⁴ And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, In Jerusalem will my name be everlasting. ⁵ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.
⁶ He also made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. And he practiced soothsaying and used enchantments and practiced sorcery and dealt with psychics and with wizards. He worked much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
⁷ And he set the graven image of the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name everlasting,

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. ⁵ They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see. ⁶ They have ears, but they do not hear. They have noses, but they do not smell. ⁷ They have hands, but they do not handle. They have feet, but they do not walk, nor do they speak through their throat.
⁸ Those who make them will be like them. Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁰ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images excelled those of Jerusalem and of Samaria, ¹¹ shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

⁸ And they will not look to the altars, the work of their hands, nor will they have respect for what their fingers have made, either the Asherim or the sun-images.

¹⁹ and have cast their gods into the fire. For they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.

¹⁵ Then it will be for a man to burn. And he takes of it and warms himself. Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god and worships it. He makes it a graven image and falls down to it. ¹⁶ He burns part of it in the fire. He eats flesh with part of it. He roasts roast and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself and says, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire. ¹⁷ And the residue of it he makes a god, even his graven image. He falls down to it and worships and prays to it and says, Deliver me, for you are my god.
¹⁸ They do not know, nor do they consider. For he has shut their eyes, that they cannot see and their hearts, that they cannot understand. ¹⁹ And none calls to mind, nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread upon the coals of it. I have roasted flesh and eaten it. And shall I make the residue of it an abomination? Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
²⁰ He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

⁵ you* who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree, who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

²⁸ But where are your gods that you have made you? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble. For according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.

¹³ For according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you* have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.

²³ And it has happen according to all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the lord Jehovah), ²⁴ that you have built yourself a vaulted place and have made you a lofty place in every street. ²⁵ You have built your lofty place at the head of every way and have made your beauty an abomination. And have opened your feet to everyone who passed by and multiplied your prostitution.

⁶ For even this is from Israel: the workman made it and it is no God. Yes, the calf of Samaria will be broken in pieces.

¹¹ Is Gilead wickedness? They are altogether false. In Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks. Yes, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.

² And now they sin more and more and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.

¹⁶ Now while Paul is waiting for them in Athens, the spirit was being irritated in him, while viewing the idol ridden city.

²⁰ And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these wounds, did not repent of the works of their hands, in order that they should not worship the demons and the golden and silver and the brass and the stone and the wooden idols; which are not able to see, nor hear, nor walk.

¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, You* cannot serve Jehovah, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your* transgression nor your* sins.

⁵ and do not cover their iniquity and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you, for they have provoked you to anger before the builders.

² both low and high, rich and poor together.

⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity and men of high degree are a lie. They will go up in the balances. They are together lighter than vanity.

¹⁵ And the common man is bowed down and the great man is debased and the eyes of the lofty are humbled,

¹¹ When the limbs of it are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion upon them and he who formed them will show them no favor.

⁹ And you went to the king with oil and increased your perfumes and sent your ambassadors far off and debased yourself even to Sheol.

⁴ Then I said, Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they do not know the way of Jehovah, nor the law of their God. ⁵ I will go to the great men and will speak to them, for they know the way of Jehovah and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke and burst the bonds.

²³ Yet, Jehovah, you know all their counsel against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from your sight, but let them be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger.

²⁹ But whoever blasphemes at the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness, forever, but is liable to an everlasting judgment.

²³ for all have sinned and come-short of the glory of God.

¹⁸ Let no one arbitrate against you, willing it so in your humility and in a religion of the messengers; stepping you^\'b0 further into the things which he has not seen, being vainly arrogant by his fleshly mind,

²³ Which things indeed in a man-made religion have a reason which comes from man’s wisdom and humility and unsparing cruelty of the body, but are not in any value toward the indulgence of the flesh.

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the great-men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every bondservant and free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall upon us and hide us from the face of the one who is sitting upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

¹ And the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Jehovah and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. ² And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. And because of Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which are in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

⁵ They are driven forth from the midst of men. They cry out after them as after a thief, ⁶ so that they dwell in frightful valleys, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

²³ For calamity from God is a terror to me and I can do nothing because of his majesty.

²² Out of the north comes golden splendor. God has upon him awesome majesty.
²³ O the Almighty, we cannot find him out. He is excellent in power. And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict. ²⁴ Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.

¹¹ Who knows the power of your anger and your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

¹⁹ And men will go into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
²⁰ Men will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold in that day, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats, ²¹ to go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

³ And one cried to another and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. ⁴ And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried and the house was filled with vapor.
⁵ Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.

³ And what will you* do in the day of visitation and in the desolation which will come from far? To whom will you* flee for help? And where will you* leave your* glory?

²² But this is a people robbed and plundered. They are all of them snared in holes and they are hid in prison-houses. They are for a prey and none delivers, for a spoil and none says, Restore.

⁷ Who should not fear you, O King of the nations? For to you it is befitting, inasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.

¹⁰ But Jehovah is the true God. He is the living God and an everlasting King. At his wrath the earth trembles and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

⁸ The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars and they will say to the mountains, Cover us and to the hills, Fall on us.

⁵ But I will be showing you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed you, has authority to cast you into hell. Yes, I say to you, Fear him.

³⁰ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us, and to the hills, Hide us.

⁹ who will be suffering-punishment, the sentence of everlasting utter-destruction away from the face of the Lord, and away from the glory of his strength,

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the great-men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every bondservant and free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall upon us and hide us from the face of the one who is sitting upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb;

³ And they are singing the song of Moses the bondservant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; your ways are righteous and true, the King of the nations. ⁴ Who should never fear you, Lord, and should glorify your name? Because only you are holy, because all the nations will be coming and will be worshiping in your sight, because your righteousnesses were manifested.

¹⁰ Deck yourself now with excellency and dignity and array yourself with honor and majesty. ¹¹ Pour forth the overflowing of your anger and look upon everyone who is proud and humble him.
¹² Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.

²⁷ Because you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.

¹⁷ And the loftiness of man will be bowed down and the haughtiness of men will be brought low and Jehovah alone will be exalted in that day.

¹ And seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, We will eat our own bread and wear our own apparel. Only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach.

¹⁵ And the common man is bowed down and the great man is debased and the eyes of the lofty are humbled, ¹⁶ but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice and God the Holy One is made holy in righteousness.

¹⁰ And there will be a root of Jesse in that day and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him will the Gentiles hope and his resting place will be glorious.
¹¹ And it will happen in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who will remain, from Assyria and from Egypt and from Pathros and from Cush and from Elam and from Shinar and from Hamath and from the islands of the sea.

¹ And you will say in that day, I will give thanks to you, O Jehovah, for though you were angry with me. Your anger is turned away and you comfort me.

⁴ And you* will say in that day, Give thanks to Jehovah. Call upon his name. Declare his practices among the peoples. Make mention that his name is exalted.

¹¹ And I will punish the world for the evil and the wicked for their iniquity. And I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.

²¹ And it will happen in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

⁹ And it will be said in that day, Behold, this is our God. We have waited for him and he will save us. This is Jehovah. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

¹ In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. He will appoint salvation for walls and ramparts.

¹ In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent and leviathan the crooked serpent and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.
² In that day is a vineyard of wine. Sing to it.

¹² And it will happen in that day, that Jehovah will beat off his fruit, from the flood of the River to the brook of Egypt. And you* will be gathered one by one, O you* sons of Israel. ¹³ And it will happen in that day, that a great trumpet will be blown. And they will come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

⁵ In that day Jehovah of hosts will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people,

¹⁸ And in that day the deaf will hear the words of the book and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

²³ And he will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground and bread of the increase of the ground and it will be fat and plenteous. In that day your cattle will feed in large pastures.

²³ Whom have you defied and blasphemed? And against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

⁶ Therefore my people will know my name. Therefore they will know in that day that I am he who speaks, Behold, it is I.

²⁴ but let he who boasts boast in this, that he has understanding and knows me, that I am Jehovah who exercises loving kindness, justice and righteousness, in the earth. For in these things I delight, says Jehovah.

⁷ Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he will be saved out of it.
⁸ And it will happen in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from your neck and will burst your bonds. And strangers will no more make him their bondman,

³¹ Behold, I am against you, O you proud one, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, for your day has come, the time that I will visit you. ³² And the proud one will stumble and fall and none will raise him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities and it will devour all who are all around him.

¹⁴ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, The lord Jehovah says thus: In that day when my people Israel dwell securely, will you not know it?

¹⁹ For I have spoken in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath.
Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel,

¹¹ And it will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel: the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea. And it will stop those who pass through and they will bury Gog and all his multitude there. And they will call it The valley of Hamon-gog.

²² So the house of Israel will know that I am Jehovah their God, from that day and forward.

¹⁶ And it will be at that day, says Jehovah, that you will call me Ishi and will no more call me Baali.

²¹ And it will happen in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens and they will answer the earth,

¹⁸ And it will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine and the hills will flow with milk and all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters. And a fountain will come out from the house of Jehovah and will water the valley of Shittim.

¹¹ In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that has fallen and close up the breaches of it. And I will raise up its ruins and I will build it as in the days of old,

⁸ Jehovah says, Shall I not in that day, destroy the wise men out of Edom and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?

⁶ In that day, says Jehovah, I will assemble what is lame and I will gather what is driven away and what I have afflicted.

¹¹ A day for building your walls! In that day the decree will be far removed. ¹² In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt and from Egypt even to the River and from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

¹¹ In that day you will not be put to shame for all your practices, in which you have transgressed against me. For then I will take away out of the midst of you those who rejoice in your pride and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.

¹⁶ In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Do not fear, O Zion. Do not let your hands be slack.

¹⁶ And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people, as for the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

¹ For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace and all the proud and all who work wickedness, will be stubble. And the day that comes will burn them up, says Jehovah of hosts, that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

¹⁴ I say to you, This one went down to his house, having been made righteous rather than that man, because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, but he who is humbling himself will be exalted.

²⁹ that no flesh might boast in God’s sight. ³⁰ But you are from him, in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom and righteousness and holiness and redemption from God; ³¹ that, just-as it has been written, ‘He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.’

⁵ demolishing evil reasonings and every exalted thing which is lifting itself up against the knowledge of God and capturing every device of the Adversary to the obedience of the Christ;

¹⁷ But he who is boasting, let him boast in the Lord.

⁵ Likewise, the younger ones, be subject to the elder ones. But all of you be subject to one another, clothe yourselves with humility, because ‘God resists the haughty, but is giving grace to the humble.’

¹⁶ There are six things which Jehovah hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to him: ¹⁷ haughty eyes, a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood,

⁵ Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah. Hand in hand, he will not be unpunished.

⁶ Wail you*, for the day of Jehovah is at hand. It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

⁹ Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy the sinners of it out of it.

⁹ Jehovah of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

⁴ The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.

¹⁰ For that day is a day of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries. And the sword will devour and be satiate and will drink its fill of their blood, for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

⁵ You* have not gone up into the gaps, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah.

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth and his ways justice. And he is able to humble those who walk in pride.

²⁰ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne. And they took his glory from him, ²¹ and he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the beasts and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
²² And you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, ²³ but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand your breath is and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.
²⁴ Then the part of the hand was sent from before him and this writing was inscribed.

¹⁸ Woe to you* who desire the day of Jehovah! Why would you* have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness and not light.

⁵ Behold, I will send you* Elijah the prophet before the great and fearful day of Jehovah comes.

¹² But whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

¹¹ Because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.

⁵ to give such a one to the Adversary for the utter-destruction of the flesh, in order that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

² For you yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord so comes like a thief in the night.

⁶ But he is giving greater grace. Hence the Scripture says, ‘God resists the haughty, but gives grace to the humble.’

³³ Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop off the branches with terror. And the high of stature will be hewn down and the lofty will be brought low. ³⁴ And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron and Lebanon will fall by a mighty one.

⁸ Yes, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid low, no hewer has come up against us.

²⁴ You have defied the Lord by your servants and have said, I have come up to the height of the mountains with the multitude of my chariots, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. And I will cut down the tall cedars of it and the choice fir trees of it and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.

³ Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches and with a forest-like shade and of high stature and its top was among the thick branches. ⁴ The waters nourished it. The deep made it to grow. The rivers of it ran all around its plantation and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
⁵ Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field and its boughs were multiplied and its branches became long because of many waters, when it shot them forth. ⁶ All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs and under its branches all the beasts of the field brought out their young and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
⁷ Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, for its root was by many waters. ⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not dim it. The fir trees were not like its boughs and the plane trees were not as its branches, nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.
⁹ I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
¹⁰ Therefore thus said the lord Jehovah: Because you are exalted in stature and he has set his top among the thick branches and his heart is lifted up in his height, ¹¹ I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations. He will surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.
¹² And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off and have left him. Upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow and have left him.

⁵ But I will send a fire upon Judah and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

¹ Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars. ² Wail, O fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the fine ones are destroyed. Wail, O you* oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.

¹⁶ Why do you* look-enviously, you* high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yes, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.

⁵ The Lord at your right hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He will judge among the nations. He will fill with dead bodies. He will strike through the head in many countries.

²⁵ And there will be upon every lofty mountain and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

⁴ Every valley will be exalted and every mountain and hill will be made low. And the crooked will become straight and the rough places smooth.

¹² And the high fortress of your walls he has brought down, laid low and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

⁵² then you* will drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you* and destroy all their figured stones and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places.

²² For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram. Once every three years the navy of Tarshish came, bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.

⁴⁸ Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go, for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber. ⁴⁹ Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

⁷ Because God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

¹ The burden of Tyre. Howl, you* ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. It is revealed to them from the land of Kittim.

⁹ Surely the isles will wait for me and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Jehovah your God and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.

¹¹ And the merchants of the earth will weep and will mourn over her, because no one is buying their cargo anymore;

¹⁷ Because in an hour so-many riches was made desolate. And every helmsman and everyone who sails any place and sailors and as many as are working from the sea, stood from afar, ¹⁸ and were crying out, seeing the smoke of her fire, saying, What city is similar to the great city? ¹⁹ And they cast dirt upon their heads and were crying, weeping and mourning and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were enriched out of her costliness! Because in one hour she was made desolate.

¹¹ The lofty looks of man will be brought low and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down and Jehovah alone will be exalted in that day.

²⁹ We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud, his loftiness and his pride and his arrogance and the haughtiness of his heart. ³⁰ I know his wrath, says Jehovah, that it is nothing. His boastings have worked nothing.

² Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, The lord Jehovah says thus: Because your heart is lifted up and you have said, I am a god. I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas. Yet you are man and not God, though you did set your heart as the heart of God.
³ Behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you. ⁴ By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten you riches and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures. ⁵ By your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches. And your heart is lifted up because of your riches.
⁶ Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God, ⁷ therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations and they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and they will defile your brightness.

⁹ and behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon. And all the graven images of her gods are broken to the ground.

⁹ Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar like smashed chalk-stones, so that the Asherim and the sun-images will rise no more.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you* and you* will be clean. I will cleanse you* from all your* filthiness and from all your* idols.

²³ Neither will they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions, but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places in which they have sinned and will cleanse them. So they will be my people and I will be their God.

⁸ Ephraim will say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered and will regard him. I am like a green fir tree. From me, your fruit is found.

³ I will consume man and beast. I will consume the birds of the heavens and the fishes of the sea and the stumbling blocks with the wicked. And I will cut off man from the face of the ground, says Jehovah.

² And it will happen in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land and they will no more be remembered. And I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

⁶ When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves and in thickets and in rocks and in coverts and in pits.

¹¹ And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

⁶ Arise, O Jehovah, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries and awake for me the justice you have commanded.

⁶ I called upon Jehovah in my distress and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple and my cry before him came into his ears.
⁷ Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken because he was angry.
⁸ There went up a smoke out of his nostrils and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it. ⁹ He also bowed the heavens and came down and thick darkness was under his feet.
¹⁰ And he rode upon a cherub and flew. Yes, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
¹¹ He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion all around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
¹² At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire. ¹³ Jehovah also thundered in the heavens and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. ¹⁴ And he sent out his arrows and scattered them, Yes, lightnings shot out and confused them.
¹⁵ Then the channels of waters appeared and the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

⁷ You, even you, are to be feared. And who may stand in your sight when once you are angry? ⁸ You caused sentence to be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still ⁹ when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

⁵ What is it to you, O you the sea, that you flee? You Jordan, that you turn back? ⁶ You* mountains, that you* skip like rams, you* little hills, like lambs?
⁷ Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

¹⁰ Enter into the rock and hide you in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah and from the glory of his majesty.

²¹ to go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

³² And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah will lay upon him, will be with the sound of tambourine and harps. And he will fight with them in battles with the brandishing of his arm.

¹⁶ Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Jehovah and they will fish them up. And afterward I will send for many hunters and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and out of the clefts of the rocks.

³ For, behold, Jehovah comes forth out of his place and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth. ⁴ And the mountains will be melted under him and the valleys will be split, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.

¹⁷ They will lick the dust like a serpent. Like crawling things of the earth they will come trembling out of their borders. They will come with fear to Jehovah our God and will be afraid because of you.

³ Jehovah is slow to anger and great in power and will by no means clear the guilty.
Jehovah has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of his feet. ⁴ He rebukes the sea and makes it dry and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes and Carmel and the flower of Lebanon languishes. ⁵ The mountains quake at him and the hills melt and the earth is upheaved at his presence. Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire and the rocks are broken apart by him.

³ God came from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of his praise. ⁴ And his brightness was as the light. He had rays from his hand and there was the hiding of his power. ⁵ Before him went the pestilence. And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
⁶ He stood and measured the earth. He beheld and drove apart the nations. And the eternal mountains were scattered. The everlasting hills bowed. His traveling are everlasting.
⁷ I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The curtains of the land of Midian trembled. ⁸ Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode upon your horses, upon your chariots of salvation?
⁹ Your bow was exposed. Naked are the oaths of the tribes to your word. Selah. You split the earth with rivers. ¹⁰ The mountains saw you and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep uttered its voice and lifted up its hands on high. ¹¹ The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
¹² You marched though the land in indignation. You threshed the nations in anger. ¹³ You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed.
You wound the head out of the house of the wicked man, laying bare the foundation even to the neck. Selah. ¹⁴ You pierced with his own staves the head of his warriors. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor man secretly.

⁶ For Jehovah of hosts says thus: Yet once, it is a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.

²¹ Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth. ²² And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. And I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. And the horses and their riders will come down, each one by the sword of his brother.

³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in the wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth.

²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth. But now he has promised, saying, ‘Still once for all, I do not only shake the earth, but also the heaven.’

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will be coming like a thief in the night; in which the heavens will be passing away with a crashing-sound, and the elements will be dissolved, being burnt with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it will be burned up. ¹¹ Therefore, with all these things being dissolved, see what sort of things you ought to possess in all holy conduct and godliness, ¹² expecting, and diligently wanting the presence of the day of God, through which, the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt, being burnt with heat. ¹³ But according to his promise, we are expecting new heavens and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness.

¹² And I saw when he opened the sixth seal and a great earthquake happened, and the sun became black like hairy sackcloth and the whole moon became like blood; ¹³ and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree, having cast its unripe figs when being shaken by a great wind. ¹⁴ And the heaven departed like a scroll being coiled up, and every mountain and every island were moved out of their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth and the great-men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every bondservant and free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;

⁶ And men will seek death in those days and they will never be finding it, and they will desire to die and death will be fleeing from them.

¹³ And in that day there became a great earthquake and the tenth part of the city fell, and the names of seven thousand men were killed in the earthquake and the rest became fearful and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁹ And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple, and there became lightnings and voices and thunders and an earthquake and great hail.

¹⁸ And there became lightnings and thunders and voices, and there became a great earthquake, such-as has not happened from which time men were born upon the earth, so-great an earthquake–so great!

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne and the one who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

¹⁹ and the stork, the heron after its kind and the hoopoe and the bat.

²² And you* will defile the overlaying of your graven images of silver and the plating of your molten images of gold. You will cast them away as an unclean thing. You will say to it, You get away.

⁷ For in that day they will cast away every man his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your* own hands have made to you* for a sin.

¹ Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon the beasts and upon the cattle. The things that you* carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.

⁶ Such as lavish gold out of the bag and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith and he makes it a god. They fall down, yes, they worship.

⁷ But what things were gains for me, I have deemed these a forfeiture because of the Christ. ⁸ But therefore, I am also deeming all things indeed to be a forfeiture because of the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom, I forfeited all things, and am deeming them to be but trash, in order that I may gain Christ,

²² And it will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

⁶ so that they dwell in frightful valleys, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

¹⁴ O my dove, who are in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the steep place, let me see your countenance; let me hear your voice. Because sweet is your voice and your countenance is becoming.

¹⁹ And men will go into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

⁷ And Jehovah God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.

²² All died in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land.

¹⁵ so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than these my bones. ¹⁶ I loathe my life. I would not live everlasting. Let me alone, for my days are vanity. ¹⁷ What is man, that you should magnify him and that you should set your mind upon him, ¹⁸ and that you should visit him every morning and try him every moment? ¹⁹ How long will you not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? ²⁰ If I have sinned, what do I do to you, O you, watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself? ²¹ And why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust and you will seek me diligently, but I will not be.

³ (For my life is yet whole in me. And the spirit of God is in my nostrils.)

⁴ what is man that you remember him? And the son of man that you care for him?

³ Jehovah, what is man, that you take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that you make account of him? ⁴ Man is like vanity. His days are as a shadow that passes away.

³ Do not put your* trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

¹⁵ Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket and are accounted as the small dust of the balance. Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.

⁵ Jehovah says thus: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm and whose heart departs from Jehovah.

¹⁴ You do not know what the next-day will bring, for what is your life? For it will be a vapor, which appears for a few but thereafter also disappears.
