Woe{H1945} to the rebellious{H5637} children,{H1121} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that take{H6213} counsel,{H6098} but not of me; and that make{H5258} a league,{H4541} but not of my Spirit,{H7307} that they may add{H5595} sin{H2403} to sin,{H2403}

that set{H1980} out to go down{H3381} into Egypt,{H4714} and have not asked{H7592} at my mouth;{H6310} to strengthen{H5810} themselves in the strength{H4581} of Pharaoh,{H6547} and to take refuge{H2620} in the shadow{H6738} of Egypt!{H4714}

Therefore shall the strength{H4581} of Pharaoh{H6547} be your shame,{H1322} and the refuge{H2622} in the shadow{H6738} of Egypt{H4714} your confusion.{H3639}

For their princes{H8269} are at Zoan,{H6814} and their ambassadors{H4397} are come{H5060} to Hanes.{H2609}

They shall all be ashamed{H3001} because of a people{H5971} that cannot profit{H3276} them, that are not a help{H5828} nor profit,{H3276} but a shame,{H1322} and also a reproach.{H2781}

The burden{H4853} of the beasts{H929} of the South.{H5045} Through the land{H776} of trouble{H6869} and anguish,{H6695} from whence come the lioness{H3918} and the lion,{H3918} the viper{H660} and fiery{H8314} flying{H5774} serpent,{H8314} they carry{H5375} their riches{H2428} upon the shoulders{H3802} of young asses,{H5895} and their treasures{H214} upon the humps{H1707} of camels,{H1581} to a people{H5971} that shall not profit{H3276} [them].

For Egypt{H4714} helpeth{H5826} in vain,{H1892} and to no purpose:{H7385} therefore have I called{H7121} her{H1992} Rahab{H7293} that{H2063} sitteth still.{H7674}

Now go,{H935} write{H3789} it before them on a tablet,{H3871} and inscribe{H2710} it in a book,{H5612} that it may be for the time{H3117} to come{H314} for{H5704} ever{H5703} and ever.{H5769}

For it is a rebellious{H4805} people,{H5971} lying{H3586} children,{H1121} children{H1121} that will{H14} not hear{H8085} the law{H8451} of Jehovah;{H3068}

that say{H559} to the seers,{H7200} See{H7200} not; and to the prophets,{H2374} Prophesy{H2372} not unto us right things,{H5229} speak{H1696} unto us smooth things,{H2513} prophesy{H2372} deceits,{H4123}

get you out{H5493} of the way,{H1870} turn aside{H5186} out of the path,{H734} cause the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478} to cease{H7673} from before{H6440} us.

Wherefore thus saith{H559} the Holy One{H6918} of Israel,{H3478} Because ye despise{H3988} this word,{H1697} and trust{H982} in oppression{H6233} and perverseness,{H3868} and rely{H8172} thereon;

therefore this iniquity{H5771} shall be to you as a breach{H6556} ready to fall,{H5307} swelling out{H1158} in a high{H7682} wall,{H2346} whose breaking{H7667} cometh{H935} suddenly{H6597} in an instant.{H6621}

And he shall break{H7665} it as a potter's{H3335} vessel{H5035} is broken, breaking{H7667} it in pieces{H3807} without sparing;{H2550} so that there shall not be found{H4672} among the pieces{H4386} thereof a sherd{H2789} wherewith to take{H2846} fire{H784} from the hearth,{H3344} or to dip{H2834} up water{H4325} out of the cistern.{H1360}

For thus said{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} the Holy One{H6918} of Israel,{H3478} In returning{H7729} and rest{H5183} shall ye be saved;{H3467} in quietness{H8252} and in confidence{H985} shall be your strength.{H1369} And ye would{H14} not:

but ye said,{H559} No, for we will flee{H5127} upon horses;{H5483} therefore shall ye flee:{H5127} and, We will ride{H7392} upon the swift;{H7031} therefore shall they that pursue{H7291} you be swift.{H7043}

One{H259} thousand{H505} [shall flee] at{H6440} the threat{H1606} of one;{H259} at{H6440} the threat{H1606} of five{H2568} shall ye flee:{H5127} till ye be left{H3498} as a beacon{H8650} upon the top{H7218} of a mountain,{H2022} and as an ensign{H5251} on a hill.{H1389}

And therefore will Jehovah{H3068} wait,{H2442} that he may be gracious{H2603} unto you; and therefore will he be exalted,{H7311} that he may have mercy{H7355} upon you: for Jehovah{H3068} is a God{H430} of justice;{H4941} blessed{H835} are all they that wait{H2442} for him.

For the people{H5971} shall dwell{H3427} in Zion{H6726} at Jerusalem;{H3389} thou shalt weep{H1058} no more;{H1058} he will surely{H2603} be gracious{H2603} unto thee at the voice{H6963} of thy cry;{H2199} when he shall hear,{H8085} he will answer{H6030} thee.

And though the Lord{H136} give{H5414} you the bread{H3899} of adversity{H6862} and the water{H4325} of affliction,{H3906} yet shall not thy teachers{H3384} be hidden{H3670} anymore, but thine eyes{H5869} shall see{H7200} thy teachers;{H3384}

and thine ears{H241} shall hear{H8085} a word{H1697} behind{H310} thee, saying,{H559} This is the way,{H1870} walk ye in it;{H3212} when ye turn to the right hand,{H541} and when ye turn to the left.{H8041}

And ye shall defile{H2930} the overlaying{H6826} of thy graven images{H6456} of silver,{H3701} and the plating{H642} of thy molten images{H4541} of gold:{H2091} thou shalt cast them away{H2219} as an unclean thing;{H1739} thou shalt say{H559} unto it, Get thee hence.{H3318}

And he will give{H5414} the rain{H4306} for thy seed,{H2233} wherewith thou shalt sow{H2232} the ground;{H127} and bread{H3899} of the increase{H8393} of the ground,{H127} and it shall be fat{H1879} and plenteous.{H8082} In that day{H3117} shall thy cattle{H4735} feed{H7462} in large{H7337} pastures;{H3733}

the oxen{H504} likewise and the young asses{H5895} that till{H5647} the ground{H127} shall eat{H398} savory{H2548} provender,{H1098} which hath been winnowed{H2219} with the shovel{H7371} and with the fork.{H4214}

And there shall be upon every lofty{H1364} mountain,{H2022} and upon every high{H5375} hill,{H1389} brooks{H6388} [and] streams{H2988} of waters,{H4325} in the day{H3117} of the great{H7227} slaughter,{H2027} when the towers{H4026} fall.{H5307}

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

Behold, the name{H8034} of Jehovah{H3068} cometh{H935} from far,{H4801} burning{H1197} with his anger,{H639} and in thick{H4858} rising smoke:{H3514} his lips{H8193} are full{H4390} of indignation,{H2195} and his tongue{H3956} is as a devouring{H398} fire;{H784}

and his breath{H7307} is as an overflowing{H7857} stream,{H5158} that reacheth even unto{H2673} the neck,{H6677} to sift{H5130} the nations{H1471} with the sieve{H5299} of destruction:{H7723} and a bridle{H7448} that causeth to err{H8582} [shall be] in the jaws{H3895} of the peoples.{H5971}

Ye shall have a song{H7892} as in the night{H3915} when a holy{H6942} feast{H2282} is kept;{H6942} and gladness{H8057} of heart,{H3824} as when one goeth{H1980} with a pipe{H2485} to come{H935} unto the mountain{H2022} of Jehovah,{H3068} to the Rock{H6697} of Israel.{H3478}

And Jehovah{H3068} will cause his glorious{H1935} voice{H6963} to be heard,{H8085} and will show{H7200} the lighting down{H5183} of his arm,{H2220} with the indignation{H2197} of [his] anger,{H639} and the flame{H3851} of a devouring{H398} fire,{H784} with a blast,{H5311} and tempest,{H2230} and hailstones.{H68}

For through the voice{H6963} of Jehovah{H3068} shall the Assyrian{H804} be dismayed;{H2865} with his rod{H7626} will he smite{H5221} [him].

And every stroke{H3605} of the appointed{H4145} staff,{H4294} which Jehovah{H3068} shall{H4569} lay{H5117} upon him, shall be with [the sound of] tabrets{H8596} and harps;{H3658} and in battles{H4421} with the brandishing{H8573} [of his arm] will he fight{H3898} with them.

For a Topheth{H8613} is prepared{H6186} of old;{H865} yea, for the king{H4428} it is made ready;{H3559} he hath made it deep{H6009} and large;{H7337} the pile{H4071} thereof is fire{H784} and much{H7235} wood;{H6086} the breath{H5397} of Jehovah,{H3068} like a stream{H5158} of brimstone,{H1614} doth kindle{H1197} it.
