Berean Standard Bible
I will stand upon
my watch,
and set
me
upon
the tower,
and
will look
forth
to see what he will speak
with
me, and what
I shall
answer concerning
my
complaint
.
I will stand at
my guard
post
and station
myself
on
the ramparts.
I
will watch
to see what He will say
to
me, and how
I should
answer when
corrected
.
And
Jehovah
answered me ,
and
said,
Write the
vision ,
and make
it plain
upon
tablets, that he
may run that
readeth
it.
Then
the
LORD
answered me :
“
Write down
this
vision and clearly
inscribe
it on
tablets, so
that a
herald
may run with
it.
For the vision is
yet
for
the
appointed time ,
and
it hasteth
toward
the end ,
and shall
not lie :
though it tarry
, wait for it ;
because
it will surely come ,
it
will not delay.
For the vision awaits
an
appointed time ;
it testifies
of
the end and does
not lie .
Though it lingers
, wait for it ,
since
it will surely come and
will not delay.
Behold,
his soul is puffed
up,
it
is
not upright in
him;
but the righteous shall
live by his
faith .
Look
at
the
proud
one;
his soul is not upright —
but the righteous will
live by faith —
Yea,
moreover,
wine
is treacherous,
a
haughty
man ,
that
keepeth
not
at home;
who
enlargeth
his desire
as
Sheol, and he
is
as
death, and
cannot
be
satisfied ,
but
gathereth
unto
him
all nations ,
and heapeth
unto
him
all peoples.
and
wealth
indeed
betrays
him.
He
is an
arrogant
man never
at rest.
He
enlarges
his appetite
like
Sheol, and like
Death, he
is
never
satisfied .
He
gathers
all the
nations to
himself
and collects
all the
peoples as
his
own
.
Shall
not all these take up a parable
against
him,
and
a
taunting
proverb
against him, and say,
Woe to him that
increaseth
that
which
is not his !
how
long?
and that
ladeth
himself with pledges
!
Will
not all of
these take up a taunt
against him, speaking
with
mockery
and derision:
‘
Woe to him who
amasses
what
is not his and makes
himself rich
with many
loans
! How
long
will
this
go
on?’
Shall
they
not rise
up
suddenly that
shall
bite
thee,
and
awake
that
shall
vex
thee,
and thou
shalt
be
for
booty
unto
them
?
Will
not your
creditors
suddenly arise
and those
who
disturb
you
awaken
? Then
you
will
become
their
prey.
Because thou
hast
plundered many nations, all
the remnant of the peoples
shall
plunder thee,
because of men's
blood,
and for
the
violence done
to
the land, to
the city and to
all that
dwell
therein
.
Because you
have
plundered many nations, the remnant of the people
will
plunder you—
because of your
bloodshed
against
man
and your
violence against
the land, the city ,
and all their
dwellers
.
Woe to him that
getteth
an
evil
gain
for
his house, that
he
may
set
his nest on high ,
that
he
may
be
delivered
from
the hand of evil
!
Woe to him who
builds
his house by
unjust
gain
, to
place
his nest on high and
escape
the hand of disaster
!
Thou
hast
devised
shame to
thy
house ,
by cutting off many peoples ,
and hast
sinned
against
thy
soul
.
You
have
plotted
shame for
your
house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting
your
life
.
For the stone
shall
cry out of
the wall, and the beam
out
of
the
timber
shall
answer
it.
For the stones
will
cry out from
the wall, and the rafters
will
echo
it from
the
woodwork
.
Woe to him that
buildeth
a town
with blood,
and establisheth
a city
by iniquity!
Woe to him who
builds
a city
with bloodshed
and establishes
a town
by iniquity!
Behold,
is it not of
Jehovah
of hosts that the peoples
labor for
the fire, and the nations weary themselves for
vanity
?
Is it not indeed
from
the
LORD
of Hosts that the labor of
the people
only
feeds
the
fire, and the nations weary themselves in
vain
?
For the earth shall
be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah,
as the waters cover the sea.
For the earth will
be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the
LORD
as the waters cover the sea.
Woe unto
him that
giveth
his
neighbor
drink ,
`
to thee'
that
addest
thy
venom
, and
makest
him
drunken
also
, that
thou
mayest
look
on
their nakedness!
Woe to
him who
gives
drink to his
neighbors
, pouring
it
from
the
wineskin
until
they
are
drunk
, in
order
to
gaze
at
their nakedness!
Thou
art
filled with shame ,
and
not
glory :
drink thou
also,
and be
as
one
uncircumcised;
the cup of
Jehovah's
right hand shall
come round
unto
thee
, and foul
shame
shall
be
upon
thy
glory.
You
will
be
filled with shame instead
of
glory .
You
too
must
drink and expose
your
uncircumcision!
The cup in
the
LORD’s
right hand will
come around
to
you
, and utter
disgrace
will
cover
your
glory.
For the
violence done
to
Lebanon shall
cover
thee
, and the destruction of the
beasts
, which
made
them
afraid;
because of men's
blood,
and for
the
violence done
to
the land, to
the city and to
all that
dwell
therein
.
For your
violence against
Lebanon will
overwhelm
you
, and the destruction of animals
will
terrify
you
, because of your
bloodshed
against
men
and your
violence against
the land, the city ,
and all their
dwellers
.
What profiteth
the
graven
image
, that the
maker
thereof
hath
graven
it ;
the
molten
image, even
the
teacher of lies ,
that
he
that
fashioneth
its form
trusteth
therein,
to
make
dumb
idols ?
What use
is
an
idol
, that a
craftsman
should
carve
it —
or
an
image, a
teacher of lies ?
For
its maker
trusts
in
his
own
creation;
he
makes
idols that
cannot
speak.
Woe unto
him that
saith
to the
wood, Awake ;
to the
dumb
stone, Arise! Shall
this
teach
? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and
there is no breath at
all
in the
midst
of
it.
Woe to
him who
says
to wood, ‘
Awake !’
or
to silent
stone, ‘
Arise! ’
Can
it
give
guidance
? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet
there is no breath in it at
all
. ”
But Jehovah
is in his holy temple :
let all the earth keep
silence
before him.
But the
LORD
is in His holy temple ;
let all the earth be
silent
before Him.
