|
1. Woe H480 is me! for H3588 I am H1961 as when they have gathered H625 the summer fruits H7019 , as the grape gleanings H5955 of the vintage H1210 : there is no H369 cluster H811 to eat H398 : my soul H5315 desired H183 the firstripe fruit H1063 .
|
|

|
|

|
3. That they may do evil H5921 H7451 with both hands H3709 earnestly H3190 , the prince H8269 asketh H7592 , and the judge H8199 asketh for a reward H7966 ; and the great H1419 man , he H1931 uttereth H1696 his mischievous H1942 desire H5315 : so they wrap it up H5686 .
|
|

|
4. The best H2896 of them is as a brier H2312 : the most upright H3477 is sharper than a thorn hedge H4480 H4534 : the day H3117 of thy watchmen H6822 and thy visitation H6486 cometh H935 ; now H6258 shall be H1961 their perplexity H3998 .
|
|

|
|
6. For the son dishonors his father, the daughter rises up against her mother, The daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man's enemies are those of his household.

|
|
9. The wrath of the LORD I will endure because I have sinned against him, Until he takes up my cause, and establishes my right. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see his justice.
|
9. I will bear H5375 the indignation H2197 of the LORD H3068 , because H3588 I have sinned H2398 against him, until H5704 he plead H7378 my cause H7379 , and execute H6213 judgment H4941 for me : he will bring me forth H3318 to the light H216 , and I shall behold H7200 his righteousness H6666 .
|
|
10. When my enemy sees this, shame shall cover her: She who said to me, "Where is the LORD, thy God?" My eyes shall see her downfall; now shall she be trampled underfoot, like the mire in the streets.
|
10. Then she that is mine enemy H341 shall see H7200 it , and shame H955 shall cover H3680 her which said H559 unto H413 me, Where H346 is the LORD H3068 thy God H430 ? mine eyes H5869 shall behold H7200 her: now H6258 shall she be H1961 trodden down H4823 as the mire H2916 of the streets H2351 .

11. It is the day for building your walls; on that day the boundary shall be taken away.
|
11. In the day H3117 that thy walls H1447 are to be built H1129 , in that H1931 day H3117 shall the decree H2706 be far removed H7368 .
|
|
12. It is the day; and they shall come to you from Assyria and from Egypt, From Tyre even to the River, from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain;
|
12. In that H1931 day H3117 also he shall come H935 even to H5704 thee from H4480 Assyria H804 , and from the fortified H4693 cities H5892 , and from H4480 the fortress H4693 even to H5704 the river H5104 , and from sea H3220 to sea H4480 H3220 , and from mountain H2022 to mountain H2022 .
|
|
13. And the land shall be a waste because of its citizens, as a result of their deeds.
|
13. Notwithstanding the land H776 shall be H1961 desolate H8077 because of H5921 them that dwell H3427 therein , for the fruit H4480 H6529 of their doings H4611 .
|
|
14. Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, That dwells apart in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old;
|
14. Feed H7462 thy people H5971 with thy rod H7626 , the flock H6629 of thine heritage H5159 , which dwell H7931 solitarily H910 in the wood H3293 , in the midst H8432 of Carmel H3760 : let them feed H7462 in Bashan H1316 and Gilead H1568 , as in the days H3117 of old H5769 .
|
|
15. As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt, show us wonderful signs.
|
15. According to the days H3117 of thy coming out H3318 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 will I show H7200 unto him marvelous H6381 things .
|
|
16. The nations shall behold and be put to shame, in spite of all their strength; They shall put their hands over their mouths; their ears shall become deaf.
|
16. The nations H1471 shall see H7200 and be confounded H954 at all H4480 H3605 their might H1369 : they shall lay H7760 their hand H3027 upon H5921 their mouth H6310 , their ears H241 shall be deaf H2790 .
|
|
17. They shall lick the dust like the serpent, like reptiles on the ground; They shall come quaking from their fastnesses, trembling in fear of you (the LORD, our God).
|
17. They shall lick H3897 the dust H6083 like a serpent H5175 , they shall move H7264 out of their holes H4480 H4526 like worms H2119 of the earth H776 : they shall be afraid H6342 of H413 the LORD H3068 our God H430 , and shall fear H3372 because of H4480 thee.
|
|
18. Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance; Who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency,
|
18. Who H4310 is a God H410 like unto thee H3644 , that pardoneth H5375 iniquity H5771 , and passeth by H5674 H5921 the transgression H6588 of the remnant H7611 of his heritage H5159 ? he retaineth H2388 not H3808 his anger H639 forever H5703 , because H3588 he H1931 delighteth H2654 in mercy H2617 .
|
|
19. And will again have compassion on us, treading underfoot our guilt? You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;

|
|
20. You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and grace to Abraham, As you have sworn to our fathers from days of old.
