“
Woe to the rebellious children, ”
declares
the
LORD
, “to
those
who carry
out
a
plan
that
is
not
Mine
, who form
an
alliance
, but against
My will
, heaping
up
sin upon
sin .
Woe to the rebellious children, says
Yahweh
, who take
counsel
, but
not
of
me;
and
who make
a
league
, but not
of
my Spirit
, that
they
may
add
sin to
sin ,
They
set out to go down to
Egypt without
asking
My
advice
, to seek
shelter
under
Pharaoh’s
protection
and take refuge in Egypt’s
shade.
that
set out to go down into
Egypt, and
have
not
asked
at
my
mouth;
to strengthen
themselves
in
the
strength
of
Pharaoh,
and to
take refuge in the
shadow
of
Egypt!
But
Pharaoh’s
protection
will
become
your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s
shade
your disgrace
.
Therefore
shall
the
strength
of
Pharaoh
be
your shame, and the refuge in
the
shadow
of Egypt
your confusion
.
For though
their princes are at Zoan and their envoys
have
arrived
in
Hanes ,
For their princes are at Zoan ,
and their ambassadors
are
come
to
Hanes .
everyone
will
be put
to
shame
because of a people useless
to
them .
They
cannot
be
of
help;
they
are good
for
nothing
but shame and reproach. ”
They
shall
all
be ashamed
because of a people that
can't
profit
them ,
that
are not
a
help
nor
profit,
but a
shame ,
and also
a
reproach.
This
is
the burden against
the beasts
of the Negev:
Through a
land of hardship
and distress
, of
lioness and lion, of
viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth
on the backs
of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of
no
profit to
them.
The burden of
the animals
of the South.
Through the
land of trouble
and anguish
, from
whence
come
the
lioness and the
lion, the
viper and fiery
flying serpent, they carry their riches
on the shoulders
of young
donkeys ,
and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that
shall
not
profit [
them ]
.
Egypt’s
help
is
futile
and empty;
therefore I
have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
For
Egypt
helps
in
vain,
and to
no
purpose:
therefore have I
called her Rahab who sits still.
Go
now, write it on a tablet in
their
presence
and inscribe it on
a scroll;
it will
be for the days
to come ,
a
witness
forever and ever.
Now go
, write it before
them
on a tablet ,
and inscribe it in
a book,
that
it may
be for the time
to come forever and ever.
These
are
rebellious people, deceitful
children, children unwilling
to
obey
the LORD’s
instruction.
For
it
is
a
rebellious people, lying
children, children who
will
not
hear
the law
of
Yahweh;
They
say
to
the seers, “Stop
seeing
visions!”
and to the prophets, “Do
not
prophesy to us the
truth!
Speak to us pleasant
words;
prophesy illusions.
who
tell
the seers, "Don't
see;"
and to the prophets, "Don't
prophesy to us right
things,
speak to us smooth
things,
prophesy deceits,
Get out of the way ;
turn off
the
road.
Rid
us
of the Holy One of Israel !”
get out of the way ,
turn aside
out
of the path,
cause
the
Holy One of Israel to
cease
from
before
us."
Therefore this
is
what
the Holy One of Israel says:
“
Because you have
rejected
this message
, trusting
in oppression and relying
on
deceit
,
Therefore thus
says
the Holy One of Israel ,
"
Because you despise
this word
, and
trust
in oppression and perverseness
, and
rely
thereon;
this iniquity of
yours
is
like
a breach about
to fail
, a
bulge
in a high wall, whose collapse
will
come
suddenly —
in an instant !
therefore
this iniquity shall
be
to
you
as
a breach ready
to fall
, swelling
out
in a high wall, whose breaking
comes
suddenly in an instant .
It
will
break in
pieces
like
a potter’s
jar
, shattered
so that no
fragment
can
be
found.
Not a
shard
will
be found in
the dust
large
enough
to scoop
the
coals
from a
hearth or to skim
the
water from
a
cistern. ”
He
shall
break it
as
a potter's
vessel
is
broken
, breaking
it
in
pieces
without
sparing;
so that there
shall
not be found among
the pieces
of
it
a
broken
piece
with
which
to take
fire
from the
hearth ,
or to dip
up
water out
of
the
cistern. "
For the Lord GOD
, the Holy One of Israel, has
said:
“By
repentance
and rest you would
be saved; your
strength
would
lie
in quiet
confidence —
but
you were
not willing.”
For thus
said
the Lord Yahweh
, the Holy One of Israel, In
returning
and rest shall
you be saved; in quietness
and
in
confidence shall
be
your
strength.
You would
not :
“No,”
you say
, “
we will flee on horses .”
Therefore you will
flee !
“
We will ride swift horses,”
but
your
pursuers
will
be faster
.
but
you said
, No,
for
we will flee on horses ;
therefore shall
you flee :
and,
We will ride on
the
swift ;
therefore
shall
those
who
pursue
you
be swift
.
A
thousand will
flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will
all
flee ,
until you are
left alone
like
a pole
on a mountaintop
, like
a
banner
on a hill.
One
thousand [shall
flee ]
at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall
you flee :
until you be
left as
a beacon
on the
top
of
a mountain
, and
as
an
ensign
on a hill.
Therefore the
LORD
longs
to
be gracious to you; therefore He rises
to
show
you
compassion
, for the
LORD
is a just
God .
Blessed are all who wait for Him.
Therefore will
Yahweh
wait,
that
he
may
be gracious to you; and
therefore will
he be
exalted
, that
he
may
have
mercy
on
you:
for Yahweh
is a God of
justice;
blessed are all those
who wait for him.
O
people in
Zion
who
dwell in Jerusalem ,
you will
weep no more .
He will surely be gracious when
you cry for
help
; when He hears
, He will answer you.
For
the
people shall
dwell in Zion
at
Jerusalem ;
you shall
weep no more ;
he will surely be gracious to
you at
the
voice
of
your
cry; when he shall
hear
, he will answer you.
The Lord will
give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but
your Teacher
will
no
longer
hide
Himself—with
your own
eyes you
will
see Him.
Though
the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet
shall
not
your teachers
be
hidden
anymore,
but
your eyes shall
see your
teachers;
And whether
you
turn
to
the
right
or
to
the
left,
your ears will
hear this
command
behind you :
“
This is the way .
Walk in it. ”
and your ears shall
hear a
word
behind you ,
saying,
This is the way ,
walk you
in it ;
when
you
turn
to
the
right
hand,
and
when
you
turn
to
the
left
.
So
you will
desecrate
your silver -plated
idols
and your gold-plated
images .
You will
throw
them away like
menstrual
cloths,
saying
to
them
, “Be
gone!”
You shall
defile
the
overlaying
of
your engraved
images
of
silver ,
and the
plating
of
your molten
images of
gold:
you shall
cast
them away as
an
unclean
thing;
you
shall
tell
it
, Get
you
hence.
Then
He will send
rain for the
seed that
you have
sown
in
the ground ,
and the food
that
comes
from
your
land
will
be rich
and plentiful
. On
that day your cattle will
graze
in open
pastures .
He will give
the
rain for your
seed ,
with
which
you shall
sow
the ground ;
and bread
of
the increase
of
the
ground,
and
it
shall
be fat
and plenteous
. In
that day shall
your cattle feed
in large
pastures ;
The oxen and donkeys that work
the ground will
eat salted
fodder
, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork
.
the oxen likewise
and the
young
donkeys that till
the ground shall
eat savory
provender
, which
has
been
winnowed with the
shovel and with
the
fork
.
And
from
every high
mountain and every raised
hill, streams of water
will
flow
in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
There
shall
be
on
every lofty
mountain ,
and on
every high
hill, brooks
[and]
streams of waters,
in the day of the
great slaughter, when the towers fall.
The light of the moon will
be as bright
as
the sun, and the light of the sun will
be seven
times
brighter—like
the light of seven days —on
the day that the
LORD
binds up the brokenness
of His people and heals the wounds
He
has
inflicted
.
Moreover
the light of the moon shall
be as the light
of
the
sun, and the light of the sun shall
be sevenfold,
as
the light of seven days ,
in
the day that Yahweh
binds up the hurt
of his people ,
and heals the stroke
of
their
wound
.
Behold, the Name of the
LORD
comes from afar
, with
burning anger and dense
smoke .
His lips are full of fury
, and His tongue is like
a consuming
fire .
Behold, the name of Yahweh
comes from far
, burning with
his
anger ,
and in
thick
rising
smoke :
his lips are full of indignation
, and his tongue is as
a devouring
fire ;
His breath is like
a
rushing
torrent
that rises
to the neck .
He
comes
to sift the nations in
a
sieve of destruction ;
He
bridles
the jaws of the peoples to
lead
them
astray
.
and
his breath is as
an
overflowing
stream,
that reaches
even
to the neck ,
to sift the nations with
the
sieve of destruction :
and
a
bridle
that
causes
to
err
[shall
be]
in
the jaws of the peoples.
You will
sing
as on
the night of
a holy festival,
and your
heart will
rejoice
like
one who
walks
to
the
music
of
a flute,
going
up
to the mountain of the
LORD
, to the Rock of Israel.
You shall
have
a
song
as in
the night when
a holy feast
is
kept;
and gladness
of
heart ,
as
when
one goes
with
a pipe
to come
to
the mountain of Yahweh
, to the Rock of Israel.
And
the
LORD
will cause His majestic
voice to be heard and His mighty
arm to
be
revealed
, striking
in
angry
wrath
with a
flame of consuming
fire, and
with cloudburst
, storm
, and hailstones.
Yahweh
will cause his glorious
voice to be heard ,
and will
show
the
lighting
down
of
his arm, with the
indignation
of
[his]
anger,
and
the
flame of a
devouring
fire, with a
blast
, and
tempest
, and hailstones.
For Assyria
will
be
shattered
at
the voice of the LORD
; He
will
strike
them
with His scepter
.
For through
the voice of Yahweh
shall
the Assyrian
be
dismayed
; with his rod
will
he
strike
[him]
.
And
with
every stroke of the rod
of
punishment
that
the
LORD
brings
down
on them
, the tambourines and lyres
will sound
as
He battles
with weapons
brandished
.
Every stroke of the appointed
staff,
which
Yahweh
shall
lay
on him
, shall
be
with
[
the sound
of]
tambourines and harps;
and
in
battles
with
the
brandishing
[of
his
arm]
will he fight
with them
.
For Topheth has
long
been
prepared; it
has
been
made
ready
for the king .
Its
funeral
pyre
is deep and wide,
with
plenty
of fire and wood .
The breath of the
LORD
, like a torrent
of burning
sulfur, sets
it ablaze
.
For a
Topheth is
prepared of
old
; yes,
for the king it
is made
ready;
he
has
made
it
deep and large;
the
pile
of it
is
fire and much
wood ;
the breath of Yahweh
, like a stream
of sulfur, does
kindle
it.
