the oppressing sword.

in her
midst `are'
as
calves
of the
stall,

have
fled together ,
they have
not stood

come on
them, The time of their inspection

voice as

force
they
go

cut down her forest, saith

more than the grasshoppers
, and are
innumerable
.

The
LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel ,
saith;

, I will
punish
the
multitude
of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with
their
gods, and their
kings ;
even
Pharaoh, and all
them
that
trust
in him :

Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel :
Lo
, I am
seeing
after
Amon
of No, And after
Pharaoh, and after
Egypt, And
after
her
gods, and after
her
kings ,

after
Pharaoh, and after
those
trusting
in him ,

deliver
them into the hand of those that
seek
their lives
, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants :
and afterward
it shall
be
inhabited, as in the
days of old ,
saith
the
LORD
.
And I have
given
them into the hand of those seeking
their life
, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants ,
And afterwards
it is
inhabited, As `
in '
days of old --

affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
But
fear
not
thou, O
my servant Jacob, and
be
not
dismayed, O Israel :
for
, behold
, I will
save
thee from afar off
, and thy seed from the land of their captivity ;
and Jacob shall
return
, and be
in
rest and at ease, and none shall
make
him
afraid
.
And
thou, thou
dost
not
fear,
my servant Jacob, Nor
`art'
thou
dismayed, O Israel, For
lo
, I am
saving
thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity ,
And Jacob hath
turned
back
, And hath
been
at
rest ,
and been
at ease, And there
is
none disturbing
.
Fear
thou not, O
Jacob
my servant, saith
the
LORD:
for I
am
with thee ;
for I will
make a
full
end of all the nations whither I have driven thee :
but
I will
not make a
full
end of
thee
, but
correct
thee in measure;
yet
will
I
not leave
thee wholly
unpunished.
Thou ,
thou
dost
not fear
, My servant Jacob
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
for with thee I
`am',
For I make an
end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee ,
And
of
thee
I do
not make an
end, And
I
have
reproved
thee in judgment,
And
do
not entirely
acquit
thee !'
