That pant{H7602}{(H8802)} after the dust{H6083} of the earth{H776} on the head{H7218} of the poor{H1800}, and turn aside{H5186}{(H8686)} the way{H1870} of the meek{H6035}: and a man{H376} and his father{H1} will go{H3212}{(H8799)} in unto the same maid{H5291}, to profane{H2490}{(H8763)} my holy{H6944} name{H8034}:

Verse 8

And they lay themselves down{H5186}{(H8686)} upon clothes{H899} laid to pledge{H2254}{(H8803)} by{H681} every altar{H4196}, and they drink{H8354}{(H8799)} the wine{H3196} of the condemned{H6064}{(H8803)} in the house{H1004} of their god{H430}.

Verse 9

Verse 11

And I raised up{H6965}{(H8686)} of your sons{H1121} for prophets{H5030}, and of your young men{H970} for Nazarites{H5139}. Is it not even thus, O ye children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}? saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Verse 12

But ye gave the Nazarites{H5139} wine{H3196} to drink{H8248}{(H8686)}; and commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} the prophets{H5030}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Prophesy{H5012}{(H8735)} not.

Verse 15

Neither shall he stand{H5975}{(H8799)} that handleth{H8610}{(H8802)} the bow{H7198}; and he that is swift{H7031} of foot{H7272} shall not deliver{H4422}{(H8762)} himself: neither shall he that rideth{H7392}{(H8802)} the horse{H5483} deliver{H4422}{(H8762)} himself{H5315}.

Verse 16

And he that is courageous{H533}{H3820} among the mighty{H1368} shall flee away{H5127}{(H8799)} naked{H6174} in that day{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.
