King James Version
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
.
I will stand upon
my watch,
and set
me
upon
the tower,
and
will watch to see what he will say unto
me, and what
I shall
answer when I
am
reproved
.
Then
the LORD answered me :
“
Write down
this
vision and clearly
inscribe
it on
tablets
, so
that a
herald
may run with
it.
And
the LORD answered me ,
and
said,
Write the
vision ,
and make
it plain
upon
tables
, that he
may run that
readeth
it.
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
.
For the vision is
yet
for
an appointed time ,
but
at
the end it
shall
speak,
and not lie :
though it tarry
, wait for it ;
because
it will surely come ,
it
will not tarry
.
Look
at
the
proud
one;
his soul is not upright —
but the righteous
will
live by faith —
Behold,
his soul which
is lifted
up
is
not upright in
him:
but the just
shall
live by his
faith .
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.
Yea
also,
because
he transgresseth
by
wine,
he
is a
proud
man ,
neither
keepeth
at home,
who
enlargeth
his desire
as
hell
, and is
as
death, and
cannot
be
satisfied ,
but
gathereth
unto
him
all nations ,
and heapeth
unto
him
all people:
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
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
to
him
that
ladeth
himself
with
thick
clay!
Will
not your
creditors
suddenly arise
and those
who
disturb
you
awaken
? Then
you
will
become
their
prey.
Shall
they
not rise
up
suddenly that
shall
bite
thee,
and awake
that
shall
vex
thee,
and
thou
shalt
be
for
booties
unto
them
?
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
.
Because thou
hast
spoiled
many nations, all
the remnant of the people shall
spoil
thee;
because of men's
blood,
and for
the
violence of
the land, of
the city, and of
all that
dwell
therein
.
Woe to him who
builds
his house by
unjust
gain
, to
place
his nest on high and
escape
the hand
of disaster
!
Woe to him that
coveteth
an
evil
covetousness
to
his house, that
he
may
set
his nest on high ,
that
he
may
be
delivered
from
the power
of evil
!
You
have
plotted
shame for
your
house by cutting off many peoples
and forfeiting
your
life
.
Thou
hast
consulted
shame to
thy
house by cutting off many people,
and hast
sinned
against
thy
soul
.
For the stones
will
cry out from
the wall, and the rafters
will
echo
it
from
the woodwork
.
For the stone
shall
cry out of
the wall, and the beam
out
of
the timber
shall
answer
it
.
Woe to him who
builds
a city
with bloodshed
and establishes
a town
by iniquity!
Woe to him that
buildeth
a town
with blood,
and stablisheth
a city
by iniquity!
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
?
Behold,
is it not of
the LORD of hosts that the people shall
labour
in
the very
fire, and the people
shall
weary themselves for
very
vanity
?
For the earth will
be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
For the earth shall
be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD ,
as the waters cover the sea.
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!
Woe unto
him that
giveth
his
neighbour
drink ,
that
puttest
thy
bottle
to him
, and
makest
him
drunken
also
, that
thou
mayest
look
on
their nakedness!
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.
Thou
art
filled with shame for
glory :
drink thou
also,
and let
thy
foreskin
be
uncovered:
the cup of
the LORD's
right hand shall
be
turned
unto
thee
, and shameful
spewing
shall
be
on
thy
glory.
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
.
For the
violence of
Lebanon shall
cover
thee
, and the spoil
of beasts
, which
made
them
afraid,
because of men's
blood,
and for
the
violence of
the land, of
the city, and of
all that
dwell
therein
.
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.
What profiteth
the
graven
image
that the
maker
thereof
hath
graven
it ;
the
molten
image, and
a teacher of lies ,
that
the
maker of
his work
trusteth
therein,
to
make
dumb
idols ?
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. ”
Woe unto
him that
saith
to the
wood, Awake ;
to the
dumb
stone, Arise ,
it shall
teach!
Behold, it is laid
over
with gold and silver, and
there is no breath at all in
the
midst
of
it
.
But the LORD is in His holy temple ;
let all the earth be
silent
before Him.
But the LORD is in his holy temple :
let all the earth keep
silence
before him.
