King James Version
Wo
`
to '
apostate
sons
, The affirmation
of
Jehovah!
To
do
counsel, and
not from
Me ,
And to
spread
out
a covering, and
not of My spirit, So
as
to
add sin to sin .
Woe
to the
rebellious
children
, saith
the LORD,
that
take
counsel, but
not of
me ;
and that
cover
with
a covering, but
not of my spirit, that
they
may
add sin to sin :
Who
are
walking
to go down to
Egypt, And My
mouth
have not asked ,
To be
strong
in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt .
That
walk
to go down into
Egypt, and have not asked at
my
mouth;
to strengthen
themselves
in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt !
And
the strength of Pharaoh Hath
been
to
you
for
shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion ,
Therefore
shall
the strength of Pharaoh be
your
shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your
confusion .

ashamed of a people that profit
not, Neither
for

not
for
profit, But for

reproach !

not profit
them
, nor
be
an
help nor
profit, but a

reproach .
The burden of the beasts of the south .
Into a
land of adversity
and distress
, Of
young lion
and of
old lion, Whence
`are'
viper and flying saraph
, They carry on
the shoulder
of asses their
wealth
, And on
the hump
of camels their
treasures
, Unto
a people not profitable
.
The burden of the beasts of the south :
into the
land of trouble
and anguish
, from
whence
come
the
young and old lion, the
viper and fiery
flying serpent
, they will
carry their
riches
upon
the shoulders
of young
asses, and their
treasures
upon
the bunches
of camels, to
a people that
shall
not profit
them
.

Egyptians `are'
vanity,
and
in vain do
help
, Therefore I
have cried concerning this :
`
Their strength `
is '
to sit still. '

the
Egyptians shall
help
in vain, and
to
no
purpose:

a
tablet
with
them ,
And

witness
unto
the age,
Now
go, write it before
them in
a table
, and note
it in
a book
, that
it
may
be
for the time
to
come
for
ever
and
ever:
That a rebellious people `is'

liars
, Sons
not willing
to
hear the law of Jehovah.
That this
is
a rebellious people, lying
children
, children
that
will
not hear the law of the
LORD:
Who
have
said
to seers, `Ye
do
not
see ,'
And to prophets, `Ye
do
not
prophesy to
us Straightforward
things, Speak to
us smooth things, prophesy deceits ,
Which
say
to the
seers, See not;
and to the
prophets, Prophesy not
unto
us right
things, speak unto
us smooth things, prophesy deceits :
Turn
aside
from
the way, decline
from
the path, Cause to
cease
from
before
us
the Holy One of Israel. '

you
out
of
the way, turn
aside
out

Therefore,
thus said
the Holy One of Israel, Because of
your
kicking
against
this word, And ye
trust in oppression ,
And perverseness, and rely
on
it,
Wherefore
thus saith
the Holy One of Israel, Because ye
despise
this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay
thereon:
Therefore is
this iniquity to you as a breach falling
, Swelled
out in a wall
set
on
high, Whose destruction
suddenly ,
at an instant cometh
.
Therefore this iniquity shall
be
to you as a breach ready
to
fall
, swelling
out in a high wall
, whose breaking
cometh
suddenly at an instant.
And He hath
broken
it As the breaking of the potters' bottle,
Beaten
down
--
He doth
not spare ,
Nor
is
there found ,
in its
beating
down,
A potsherd
to take fire from the burning
, And
to draw
out waters
from
a
ditch
.
And he shall
break
it as the breaking of the potters' vessel
that
is
broken
in
pieces;
he shall
not spare :
so
that
there shall
not
be
found in the
bursting
of
it
a sherd
to take fire from the hearth
, or
to take
water
withal
out of
the
pit
.
For thus said
the Lord Jehovah
, The Holy One of Israel :
`
In returning and rest ye are
saved ,
In keeping
quiet
and in confidence is
your might,
And ye have
not been
willing
.
For thus saith
the Lord GOD
, the Holy One of Israel ;
In returning and rest shall
ye be
saved ;
in quietness
and in confidence shall
be
your strength:
and ye would
not.
And
ye say
, No ,
for on
a
horse
we flee ?
Therefore ye flee ,
And on
the
swift
we ride !
Therefore swift are
your
pursuers
.
But
ye said
, No ;
for we will
flee upon
horses;
therefore shall
ye flee :
and ,
We will
ride upon
the
swift;
therefore shall
they
that
pursue
you
be
swift.
One thousand because
of
the rebuke of one ,
Because
of
the rebuke of five ye flee ,
Till ye have
been
surely
left as a pole
On
the top of the
mountain, And as an ensign on the
height
.
One thousand shall
flee
at
the rebuke of one ;
at
the rebuke of five shall
ye flee :
till ye be
left as a beacon
upon
the top of a
mountain, and as an ensign on an
hill
.
And therefore doth
wait Jehovah
to
favour
you, And therefore He is
exalted to
pity
you
, For a God of judgment `is'
Jehovah,
O
the
blessedness
of
all waiting
for Him.
And therefore will
the
LORD
wait ,
that
he
may
be
gracious
unto
you, and therefore will
he be
exalted, that
he
may
have
mercy
upon
you:
for the
LORD
is
a God of judgment :
blessed
are
all they
that
wait
for him.
For the people in
Zion
dwell in Jerusalem ,
Weep
thou not,
weeping,
Pitying,
He pitieth
thee at the voice of thy cry ,
When He heareth
He answereth
thee.
For the people shall

at

it,
he will
answer
thee.
And the Lord hath
given
to
you bread of adversity, And water of oppression.
And
thy directors
remove
no
more, And
thine eyes have
seen
thy directors,
And though
the Lord give
you the
bread of adversity, and the
water of affliction,
yet
shall
not
thy teachers
be
removed
into
a
corner
any
more, but
thine eyes shall
see
thy teachers:
And thine ear
heareth
a word behind thee, Saying, `
This `
is '
the way, go
ye in it, '
When ye turn to the right, And when ye turn to the left.
And thine ears
shall
hear
a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk
ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand
, and when ye turn to the left.
And
ye have
defiled
the covering of Thy graven images of silver, And the ephod
of thy molten image
of gold ,
Thou scatterest
them as a sickening
thing,
`Go
out,'
thou sayest
to
it.
Ye shall
defile
also
the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament
of thy molten images
of gold :
thou shalt
cast
them away
as a menstruous
cloth;
thou shalt
say
unto
it ,
Get
thee
hence
.
And
He hath
given
rain `for'
thy seed, With
which
thou dost
sow the ground ,
And bread ,
the increase of the ground
, And it hath
been
fat and plenteous ,
Enjoy
do
thy
cattle
in that day an
enlarged
pasture
.
Then
shall
he give
the
rain of
thy seed, that
thou shalt
sow the ground withal;
and bread of
the increase of the earth
, and it shall
be
fat and plenteous :
in that day shall
thy
cattle
feed
in
large
pastures
.
And
the oxen and the young asses serving
the ground ,
Fermented
provender
do
eat, That
one

The oxen likewise
and the young asses that
ear
the ground shall
eat clean
provender
, which
hath
been
winnowed
with the
shovel and with
the
fan.
And there hath
been
on
every high mount
, And on
every exalted
hill, Rivulets
--
streams of waters ,
In a
day of much
slaughter, in
the falling
of
towers.
And there shall
be
upon
every high mountain
, and upon
every high
hill, rivers
and
streams of waters in the

the
LORD
bindeth
up the breach of his people, and
healeth
the stroke of their
wound.

to
err,
`Is'
on
the jaws of the peoples
.
And his breath ,
as an overflowing stream, shall
reach

the midst
of
the
neck, to sift the
nations with the
sieve of vanity :

, Unto
the rock
of Israel.

into
the mountain of the
LORD
, to
the mighty
One
of Israel.

fire, Scattering, and inundation
, and hailstone
.

shall
cause
his glorious

fire, with
scattering, and tempest
, and hailstones
.

LORD

the
Assyrian

beaten
down, which
smote
with a rod.
And every passage
of
the settled
staff, That
Jehovah
causeth
to
rest
on
him, Hath
been
with tabrets ,
and with
harps ,
And in battles of shaking he hath
fought
with it.
And in
every place
where
the grounded
staff shall
pass
, which
the
LORD
shall
lay
upon
him, it
shall
be
with tabrets and harps :
and in battles of shaking will
he fight
with it.

burning
in
it !

LORD
, like
a stream of brimstone
, doth
kindle
it .
