¹⁴ for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, ¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.
¹⁶ So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more; ¹⁷ so that if any one is in Christ—he is a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things. ¹⁸ And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation, ¹⁹ how that God was in Christ—a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation, ²⁰ in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;' ²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus, ²⁷ for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

²² ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, ²³ and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth. ²⁵ Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another; ²⁶ be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath, ²⁷ neither give place to the devil; ²⁸ whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need. ²⁹ Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers; ³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice, ³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.

³ for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God; ⁴ when the Christ—our life—may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.
⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth—whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry— ⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, ⁷ in which also ye—ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;
⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole—anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking—out of your mouth.

³ for we were once—also we—thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious—hating one another; ⁴ and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear ⁵ (not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁹ because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ; ¹⁰ I entreat thee concerning my child—whom I did beget in my bonds—Onesimus, ¹¹ who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee, ¹² whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive, ¹³ whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news, ¹⁴ and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness, ¹⁵ for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him, ¹⁶ no more as a servant, but above a servant—a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord!

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, ¹⁰ and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.'

³ They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder is under their lips. Selah.

⁵ Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth a viper.

²³ (For with sons of the field is thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.)

²⁷ Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations, ²⁸ For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations. ²⁹ And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul. ³⁰ A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation. ³¹ They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!

¹⁹ And blessed is the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled with His honour. Amen, and amen!

² Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness, ³ He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

⁴ And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more—war.

¹³ And turned aside hath the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim doth not envy Judah, And Judah doth not distress Ephraim.

²⁶ And the light of the moon hath been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of Jehovah's binding up the breach of His people, When the stroke of its wound He healeth.

⁹ No lion is there, yea, a destructive beast Ascendeth it not, it is not found there, And walked have the redeemed,

⁶ So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I am Jehovah, and there is none else,

⁶ And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁰ Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.

¹⁹ And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun—His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.

¹ Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour of Jehovah hath risen on thee. ² For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen. ³ And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy rising. ⁴ Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, they have come to thee, Thy sons from afar do come, And thy daughters on the side are supported. ⁵ Then thou seest, and hast become bright, And thine heart hath been afraid and enlarged, For turn unto thee doth the multitude of the sea, The forces of nations do come to thee. ⁶ A company of camels covereth thee, Dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, All of them from Sheba do come, Gold and frankincense they bear, And of the praises of Jehovah they proclaim the tidings. ⁷ All the flock of Kedar are gathered to thee, The rams of Nebaioth do serve thee, They ascend for acceptance Mine altar, And the house of My beauty I beautify. ⁸ Who are these—as a thick cloud they fly, And as doves unto their windows?
⁹ Surely for Me isles do wait, And ships of Tarshish first, To bring thy sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, To the name of Jehovah thy God, And to the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee. ¹⁰ And sons of a stranger have built thy walls, And their kings do serve thee, For in My wrath I have smitten thee, And in My good pleasure I have pitied thee. ¹¹ And opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations, Even their kings are led. ¹² For the nation and the kingdom that do not serve thee perish, Yea, the nations are utterly wasted. ¹³ The honour of Lebanon unto thee doth come, Fir, pine, and box together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary, And the place of My feet I make honourable. ¹⁴ And come unto thee, bowing down, Have sons of those afflicting thee, And bowed themselves to the soles of thy feet Have all despising thee, And they have cried to thee: `City of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.'
<sup>15</sup> Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, And none passing through, I have made thee for an excellency age-during, A joy of generation and generation. <sup>16</sup> And thou hast sucked the milk of nations, Yea, the breast of kings thou suckest, And thou hast known that I, Jehovah, Thy Saviour, and Thy Redeemer, Am the Mighty One of Jacob. <sup>17</sup> Instead of the brass I bring in gold, And instead of the iron I bring in silver, And instead of the wood brass, And instead of the stone iron, And I have made thy inspection peace, And thy exactors righteousness. <sup>18</sup> Violence is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called `Salvation' thy walls, And thy gates, `Praise.' ¹⁹ To thee no more is the sun for a light by day, And for brightness the moon giveth not light to thee, And Jehovah hath become to thee A light age-during, and thy God thy beauty. ²⁰ Thy sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For Jehovah becometh to thee a light age-during. And the days of thy mourning have been completed. ²¹ And thy people are all of them righteous, To the age they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My hands, to be beautified. ²² The little one doth become a chief, And the small one a mighty nation, I, Jehovah, in its own time do hasten it!

² And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem. ³ And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war any more. ⁴ And they have sat each under his vine, And under his fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts hath spoken.

¹⁴ For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover the bottom of a sea.

⁹ And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day there is one Jehovah, and His name one.

⁴⁴ but I—I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you, ⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.

⁴¹ then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,
⁴² and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. ⁴³ And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, ⁴⁴ and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, ⁴⁵ and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. ⁴⁶ Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.

²⁹ `And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word, ³⁰ in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.' ³¹ And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
³² and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common. ³³ And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all, ³⁴ for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold, ³⁵ and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.

²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret—that ye may not be wise in your own conceits—that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in; ²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,

¹⁷ giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men. ¹⁸ If possible—so far as in you—with all men being in peace; ¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance is Mine, ²⁰ I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head; ²¹ Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law; ²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

¹⁴ All things do without murmurings and reasonings, ¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, ³ and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time. ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years; ⁵ and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this is the first rising again. ⁶ Happy and holy is he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but—those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

¹⁰ The sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his is the obedience of peoples.

¹ He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

⁴ With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler is His truth.

⁷ Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

⁵ Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

¹¹ The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.

¹ And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.

³ And it hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah's giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,

¹² Unto whom He hath said, `This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this—the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,

¹⁷ And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age. ¹⁸ And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places.

²² Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried.

³ And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy rising.

⁵ Then thou seest, and hast become bright, And thine heart hath been afraid and enlarged, For turn unto thee doth the multitude of the sea, The forces of nations do come to thee.

¹⁰ Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her, ¹¹ So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour. ¹² For thus said Jehovah: `Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.

¹⁹ And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah: Stand ye by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where is this—the good way? and go ye in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, `We do not go.'

⁹ Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give peace, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.'

¹ And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem, ² saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'

¹¹ and I say to you, that many from east and west shall come and recline (at meat) with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the reign of the heavens,

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest, ²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, ³⁰ for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'

²¹ and in his name shall nations hope.'

³² a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'

¹⁴ `And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

²⁰ And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast, ²¹ these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'

³² and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'

¹⁸ And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

²⁸ `Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'

⁹ and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,' <sup>10</sup> and again it saith, `Rejoice ye nations, with His people;' ¹¹ and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;' <sup>12</sup> and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations—upon him shall nations hope;'

⁷ and to you who are troubled—rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power, ⁸ in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ who shall suffer justice—destruction age-during—from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength, ¹⁰ when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing—because our testimony was believed among you—in that day;
¹¹ for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power, ¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

⁹ there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God, ¹⁰ for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.
¹¹ May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall, ¹² for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart; ¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning. ¹⁴ Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—may we hold fast the profession, ¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner—apart from sin; ¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace—for seasonable help.

⁷ that the proof of your faith—much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved—may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ, ⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified, ⁹ receiving the end of your faith—salvation of souls;

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;

⁵ By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations.
⁶ And sons of Ham are Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan. ⁷ And sons of Cush are Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah are Sheba and Dedan.

¹⁰ And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar;

²² Sons of Shem are Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

² and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there;

¹ And it cometh to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim,

⁴⁰ `And—they have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition, ⁴¹ also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity, — ⁴² then I have remembered My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.

²⁷ and Jehovah hath scattered you among the peoples, and ye have been left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah leadeth you, ²⁸ and ye have served there gods, work of man's hands, wood and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. ²⁹ `And—ye have sought from thence Jehovah thy God, and hast found, when thou seekest Him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, ³⁰ in distress being to thee, and all these things have found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice; ³¹ for a merciful God is Jehovah thy God; He doth not fail thee, nor destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which He hath sworn to them.

³ then hath Jehovah thy God turned back to thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee. ⁴ `If thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee; <sup>5</sup> and Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy fathers. <sup>6</sup> `And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;

²² The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back from the depths of the sea.

⁹ Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

²⁰ And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.

¹⁶ And there hath been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!

²³ In that day is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians. ²⁴ In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.

¹⁵ Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.

¹² And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel. ¹³ And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount—in Jerusalem!

⁴ He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.

¹⁰ Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.

¹² They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.

¹⁴ Thus said Jehovah, `The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee is God, And there is none else, no other God.

⁷ Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they do not say any more, Jehovah liveth who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, ⁸ But—Jehovah liveth, who brought up, And who brought in, the seed of the house of Israel, From the land of the north, And from all the lands whither I drove them, And they have dwelt on their own ground!

²⁵ And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,

⁸ And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers. ⁹ And they have served Jehovah their God, And David their king whom I raise up to them.
¹⁰ And thou, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling. ¹¹ For with thee am I, An affirmation of Jehovah—to save thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee.

¹⁰ Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd doth his flock,

³⁶ If these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days. ³⁷ Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah. ³⁸ Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And the city hath been built to Jehovah, From the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner. ³⁹ And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah. ⁴⁰ And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the horse-gate eastward, Are holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age!

²⁴ `Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise—So that they are no more a people before them! ²⁵ Thus said Jehovah: 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.'

¹ The word that hath 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,

²³ Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea is sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.

¹⁶ it is ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in. ¹⁷ Therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel. ¹⁸ And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations—out of it. ¹⁹ And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh. ²⁰ So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.

⁶ Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars, Thy bench they have made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim.

¹⁴ And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,

²³ And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them—my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd, ²⁴ And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken. 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. ²⁷ And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I am Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them. ²⁸ And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

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,
²⁵ And I have sprinkled over you clean water, And ye have been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, I do cleanse you. ²⁶ And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them. ²⁸ And ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I—I am to you for God.

¹ There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones, ² and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many are on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry. ³ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?' And I say, `O Lord Jehovah, Thou—Thou hast known.' ⁴ And He saith unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah: <sup>5</sup> Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived, <sup>6</sup> and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.' <sup>7</sup> And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone. <sup>8</sup> And I beheld, and lo, on them are sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above—and spirit there is none in them. <sup>9</sup> And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.' ¹⁰ And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet—a very very great force. ¹¹ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves. <sup>12</sup> Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel. <sup>13</sup> And ye have known that I am Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people. <sup>14</sup> And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done it, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
<sup>15</sup> And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, <sup>16</sup> `And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions, ¹⁷ and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand. ¹⁸ `And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these are to thee? ¹⁹ Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand. ²⁰ And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes, ²¹ and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 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. ²³ Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I—I am to them for God. ²⁴ And My servant David is king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them. ²⁵ And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons—unto the age, And David My servant is their prince—to the age. ²⁶ And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst—to the age. ²⁷ And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people. ²⁸ And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst—to the age!'

² And I see in a vision, and it cometh to pass, in my seeing, and I am in Shushan the palace that is in Elam the province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream Ulai.

¹⁸ `And he turneth back his face to the isles, and hath captured many; and a prince hath caused his reproach of himself to cease; without his reproach he turneth it back to him.

¹¹ and gathered have been the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel together, and they have appointed to themselves one head, and have gone up from the land, for great is the day of Jezreel.

⁴ For many days remain do the sons of Israel without a king, and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim. ⁵ Afterwards turned back have the sons of Israel, and sought Jehovah their God, and David their king, and have hastened unto Jehovah, and unto His goodness, in the latter end of the days.

¹¹ They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹ For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back to the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, ² Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been judged with them there, Concerning My people and Mine inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned. ³ And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for wine, That they may drink. ⁴ And also, what are ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn back your recompence on your head. ⁵ In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples. ⁶ And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border. ⁷ Lo, I am stirring them up out of the place Whither ye have sold them, And I have turned back your recompence on your head, ⁸ And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Shabeans, Unto a nation far off, for Jehovah hath spoken.
⁹ Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war. ¹⁰ Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, `I am mighty.' ¹¹ Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones. ¹² Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around. ¹³ Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great is their wickedness. ¹⁴ Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision, For near is the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision. ¹⁵ Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining. ¹⁶ And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah is a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel. ¹⁷ And ye have known that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.
¹⁸ And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow with milk, And all streams of Judah do go with water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of Shittim. ¹⁹ Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence to sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land. ²⁰ And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation. ²¹ And I have declared their blood innocent, That I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!

¹⁴ And I have turned back to the captivity of My people Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens, and eaten their fruit. ¹⁵ And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have given to them, said Jehovah thy God!

¹² That day—even unto thee it doth come in, From Asshur and the cities of the fortress, And from the fortress even unto the river, And from sea to sea, and mount to mount.

¹⁴ Rule Thou Thy people with Thy rod, The flock of Thine inheritance, Dwelling alone in a forest in the midst of Carmel, They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in days of old. ¹⁵ According to the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I do shew it wonderful things.

¹¹ Fearful is Jehovah against them, For He made bare all gods of the land, And bow themselves to Him, each from his place, Do all islanders of the nations.

¹¹ And he saith unto me, `To build to it a house in the land of Shinar.' And it hath been prepared and hath been placed there on its base.

² And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for—very wise!

⁸ I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply. ⁹ And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have turned back. ¹⁰ And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them space . ¹¹ And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside. ¹² And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah!

¹ The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst. ² Lo, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the peoples round about, And also against Judah it is, In the siege against Jerusalem. ³ And it hath come to pass, in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth. ⁴ In that day—an affirmation of Jehovah, I do smite every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I smite with blindness. ⁵ And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, `Strength to me are the inhabitants of Jerusalem, In Jehovah of Hosts their God.' ⁶ In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed—on the right and on the left—all the peoples round about, And Jerusalem hath inhabited again her place in Jerusalem. ⁷ And saved hath Jehovah the tents of Judah first, So that become not great against Judah Doth the beauty of the house of David, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem. ⁸ In that day cover over doth Jehovah the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them hath been in that day as David, And the house of David as God—As a messenger of Jehovah—before them.
⁹ And it hath come to pass, in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem, ¹⁰ And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born. ¹¹ In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon, ¹² And mourned hath the land—every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart; ¹³ The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart, ¹⁴ All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!

¹⁵ for if the casting away of them is a reconciliation of the world, what the reception—if not life out of the dead?

²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,

¹⁶ and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.

²⁶ I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;

² Building Jerusalem is Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

³ All ye inhabitants of the world, And ye dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills ye look, And at the blowing of a trumpet ye hear.

¹³ And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount—in Jerusalem!

⁶ I am saying to the north, `Give up,' And to the south, `Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

¹¹ And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up. ¹² Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.

⁸ An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: `Again I gather to him—to his gathered ones.'

¹⁰ Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.

¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Cush, my supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Do bring My present.

⁶ And I have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have loved them, And they have been as if I had not cast them off, For I am Jehovah their God, And I answer them.

³⁵ The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? —to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

¹ James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹ And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it. ² And it is declared to the house of David, saying, `Aram hath been led towards Ephraim,' And his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of wind. <sup>3</sup> And Jehovah saith unto Isaiah, `Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller's field, ⁴ and thou hast said unto him: `Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, And let not thy heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah. ⁵ Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying: ⁶ We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst—The son of Tabeal.

²¹ Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they are against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!

¹⁸ In those days do the house of Judah Go unto the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, unto the land That I caused your fathers to inherit.

¹⁶ `And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions, <sup>17</sup> and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand. <sup>18</sup> `And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these are to thee? ¹⁹ Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand. ²⁰ And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes, ²¹ and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 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. ²³ Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I—I am to them for God. ²⁴ And My servant David is king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.

¹⁷ I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.

¹⁴ And now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, `In three years, as years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab, With all the great multitude, And the remnant is little, small, not mighty!'

¹⁰ For rest doth the hand of Jehovah on this mountain, And trodden down is Moab under Him, As trodden down is straw on a dunghill.

¹ Woe, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee.

⁵ For soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment. ⁶ A sword is to Jehovah—it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice is to Jehovah in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

¹⁴ And come unto thee, bowing down, Have sons of those afflicting thee, And bowed themselves to the soles of thy feet Have all despising thee, And they have cried to thee: `City of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.'

¹⁹ And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations. ²⁰ And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.

²⁸ Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: `Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.

¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: ² `Son of man, set thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him, ³ and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, ⁴ And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, with buckler and shield, Handling swords—all of them. ⁵ Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them with shield and helmet. ⁶ Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee, ⁷ Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a guard. ⁸ After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, A people gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them. ⁹ And thou hast gone up—as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee. ¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought, ¹¹ And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not. ¹² To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land. ¹³ Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil?
¹⁴ Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said to Gog: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know? ¹⁵ And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses—all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force. ¹⁶ And thou hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes, O Gog. ¹⁷ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days—years, To bring thee in against them? ¹⁸ And it hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Come up doth My fury in My face, ¹⁹ And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not in that day a great rushing on the land of Israel? ²⁰ And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who are on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falleth. ²¹ And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, The sword of each is against his brother. ²² And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who are with him. ²³ And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I am Jehovah!

⁴¹ and hath come into the desirable land, and many do stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

¹⁹ Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence to sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.

¹² So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah—doer of this.

¹⁸ And the house of Jacob hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For Jehovah hath spoken. ¹⁹ And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.

⁵ Ho! O inhabitants of the sea-coast, Nation of the Cherethites, A word of Jehovah is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, And I have destroyed thee without an inhabitant.

⁵ See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron—for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain, ⁶ And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines. ⁷ And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.

¹⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood—and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in those of stone.' ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up his hand with the rod, and smiteth the waters which are in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which are in the River are turned to blood, ²¹ and the fish which is in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.

²¹ And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,

¹³ Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-monster, Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters, ¹⁴ Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places. ¹⁵ Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.

²⁰ In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth.

⁵ And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up. ⁶ And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered. ⁷ Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been driven away, and is not. ⁸ And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the waters have languished. ⁹ And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works. ¹⁰ And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages are afflicted in soul.

¹⁶ In that day is Egypt like women, And it hath mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of Jehovah of Hosts, That He is waving over it.

² Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as in days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon! ¹⁰ Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

¹⁰ Therefore, lo, I am against thee, and against thy floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush.

¹² And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evil doers, And I have made desolate the land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

¹¹ And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside.

¹² And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;

²⁶ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.' ²⁷ And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and the sea turneth back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and Jehovah shaketh off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea, ²⁸ and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there hath not been left of them even one. ²⁹ And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters are to them a wall, on their right and on their left;

¹¹ And it hath come to pass, in that day, The Lord addeth a second time his power, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from isles of the sea,

²³ In that day is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.

⁸ And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the `way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself is by them, Whoso is going in the way—even fools err not. ⁹ No lion is there, yea, a destructive beast Ascendeth it not, it is not found there, And walked have the redeemed, ¹⁰ And the ransomed of Jehovah return, And have entered Zion with singing. And joy age-during on their head, Joy and gladness they attain, And fled away have sorrow and sighing!

³ A voice is crying—in a wilderness—Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God. ⁴ Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place hath become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.

¹⁵ I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up. ¹⁶ And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These are the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.

²⁰ Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob. ²¹ And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.

¹² Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.

¹⁰ Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

¹⁴ And he hath said, `Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.'

¹² Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during. ¹³ Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.
