Wo
`

in the mount

the
chief of the nations, And
come
to them
have
the house of Israel .

to them
that

at
ease
in Zion, and trust
in the mountain

named
chief of the nations, to whom

Pass ye over
`to'
Calneh and see ,
And go
thence `
to '
Hamath the great ,
And
go down `
to '
Gath of the Philistines ,
Are
`
they '
better than these kingdoms? Greater
`is'
their border than your border?
Pass ye unto
Calneh ,

than your border?
Who
are
putting
away the day

Who
are
lying
down
on
beds of ivory, And are
spread
out
on
their couches, And are
eating
lambs from
the flock, And calves from
the midst of the stall ,
That
lie
upon
beds of ivory, and stretch
themselves
upon
their couches, and eat
the
lambs out
of
the flock, and the
calves out
of
the midst of the stall ;
Who
are
taking
part
according
to the psaltery
, Like
David
they
invented
for
themselves instruments of music
;
That
chant
to the sound
of
the
viol

to
themselves instruments of musick,
like

at

they go
captive
with
the first
that
go
captive
, and the banquet
of them
that
stretched themselves
shall
be
removed
.
Sworn
hath
the Lord Jehovah
by Himself, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
God of Hosts :
I am
abominating
the excellency of Jacob, And his high
places
I
have
hated,
And
I have
delivered
up the city and
its
fulness
.
The Lord GOD
hath
sworn
by himself, saith
the
LORD
the
God of hosts ,
I abhor
the excellency of Jacob, and hate
his palaces:
therefore
will
I deliver
up the city with
all
that
is
therein
.
And if there are
left
ten persons
in one house, It
hath
come
to
pass
--
that they have
died
.

ten men
in one house, that they shall
die
.
And lifted
him up hath
his
loved
one
, even
his
burner
, To bring forth
the bones from
the house, And he
said
to
him who
`
is '
in
the sides of the house, `
Is there yet with thee? '
And he said,
`None
, '
then he said
, `Hush!
Save
to
make mention of the name of Jehovah
. '
And a
man's
uncle
shall
take
him up, and
he
that
burneth
him
, to bring out
the bones out
of
the house, and shall
say
unto
him that
is by
the sides of the house, Is there yet any
with thee? and he shall
say
, No.
Then shall
he say
, Hold
thy
tongue:
for
we
may
not
make mention of the name of the
LORD
.
For lo
, Jehovah
is
commanding
, And He hath
smitten
the great house `
with '
breaches, And the little house `
with '
clefts.
For, behold
, the
LORD
commandeth,
and he will
smite
the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Do
horses run on
a
rock? Doth
one plough
`it'
with oxen? For ye have turned to
gall
judgment, And the fruit of righteousness to
wormwood.
Shall
horses run upon
the
rock? will
one plow
there
with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into
gall
, and the fruit of righteousness into
hemlock:
O
ye who
are
rejoicing
at
nothing
, Who
are
saying
, `
Have we not by
our
strength
taken to ourselves
horns? '
Ye which
rejoice
in
a
thing
of
nought
, which
say
, Have we not taken to us
horns by
our
own
strength
?
Surely
, lo
, I am
raising
against you a nation, O house of Israel, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
God of Hosts ,
And they have
oppressed
you from the coming
in to
Hamath,
Unto the stream
of the desert
.
But
, behold
, I will
raise
up
against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith
the
LORD
the
God of hosts ;
and they shall
afflict
you from the entering
in of
Hemath
unto the river
of the wilderness
.
