King James Version
Bend
yourselves, yea, bend
ye
, O nation not desired ,
Gather
yourselves together
, yea, gather
together
, O nation not desired ;
Before the bringing
forth of
a
statute
, As
chaff
hath
the day passed
on,
While
yet
not
come
in
upon
you
doth
the heat
of
the anger of Jehovah,
While
yet
not
come in
upon you doth
a
day of the anger of
Jehovah,
Before the decree
bring
forth, before
the day pass
as
the chaff,
before
the fierce
anger of the
LORD
come upon you ,
before
the
day of the LORD's
anger come
upon
you.

Seek ye
the
LORD
, all ye meek
of the earth
, which
have
wrought
his judgment ;
seek righteousness, seek meekness:

anger.

`
themselves '
against their border.

I live, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, Surely ,
Moab is
as Sodom, And the sons
of Ammon as Gomorrah, An
overrunning

, And a desolation --
unto
the age.
A
residue of My people do
seize
them, And a
remnant of My nation
inherit
them.

I live, saith

LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel, Surely Moab shall
be
as Sodom, and the children
of Ammon as Gomorrah, even

breeding
of nettles ,
and saltpits
, and a perpetual
desolation :
the residue of my people shall
spoil
them, and the
remnant of my people
shall
possess
them.

Jehovah
against
them ,

themselves
to
Him, each
from his place, Do
all islanders
of the nations
.
The
LORD
will
be
terrible
unto
them :
for he will
famish
all the
gods of the earth;
and men
shall
worship
him, every
one
from his place, even
all the
isles
of the heathen
.

My sword `are'
they

also
, ye
shall
be
slain
by
my sword.

And crouched
in her
midst have
droves
, Every
beast
of the nation,
Both pelican
and hedge-hog
in
her
knobs
lodge ,
A
voice doth
sing at
the window,
`Destruction
`is'
at
the threshold,
For the cedar -
work is
exposed
. '
And flocks
shall
lie
down
in the
midst of
her
, all
the
beasts
of the nations:
both the
cormorant
and the
bittern
shall
lodge in
the
upper
lintels
of
it;
their
voice shall
sing in
the windows;
desolation
shall
be
in
the thresholds;
for he
shall
uncover
the cedar work.
This `
is '
the exulting
city that is
dwelling
confidently
, That is
saying
in her heart, `
I `
am '
, and beside
me
there is none ,'
How hath
she been
for
a desolation, A crouching-
place for beasts ,
Every one passing
by her doth
hiss, He
doth
shake
his hand !
This is the rejoicing
city that dwelt
carelessly
, that said
in her heart, I am, and there is none beside
me:
how is
she become
a desolation, a place for beasts to
lie
down
in!
every one that
passeth
by her shall
hiss, and
wag
his hand .
