asv@Isaiah:1:2 @Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

asv@Isaiah:1:3 @The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

asv@Isaiah:1:5 @Why will ye be still stricken, that ye revolt more and more? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

asv@Isaiah:1:6 @From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

asv@Isaiah:1:7 @Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

asv@Isaiah:1:8 @And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

asv@Isaiah:1:11 @What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah: I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

asv@Isaiah:1:12 @When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

asv@Isaiah:1:13 @Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,- I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.

asv@Isaiah:1:14 @Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them.

asv@Isaiah:1:15 @And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

asv@Isaiah:1:18 @Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

asv@Isaiah:1:19 @If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

asv@Isaiah:1:20 @but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.

asv@Isaiah:2:3 @And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

asv@Isaiah:2:4 @And he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

asv@Isaiah:2:5 @O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:2:7 @And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.

asv@Isaiah:2:11 @The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

asv@Isaiah:2:12 @For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;

asv@Isaiah:2:13 @and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

asv@Isaiah:2:14 @and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

asv@Isaiah:2:15 @and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall,

asv@Isaiah:2:16 @and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery.

asv@Isaiah:2:21 @to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

asv@Isaiah:3:1 @For, behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;

asv@Isaiah:3:2 @the mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;

asv@Isaiah:3:3 @the captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the expert artificer, and the skilful enchanter.

asv@Isaiah:3:4 @And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

asv@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.

asv@Isaiah:3:6 @When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand;

asv@Isaiah:3:8 @For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

asv@Isaiah:3:13 @Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples.

asv@Isaiah:3:14 @Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses:

asv@Isaiah:3:15 @what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

asv@Isaiah:3:16 @Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;

asv@Isaiah:3:17 @therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.

asv@Isaiah:3:18 @In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;

asv@Isaiah:3:19 @the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers;

asv@Isaiah:3:20 @the headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets;

asv@Isaiah:3:21 @the rings, and the nose-jewels;

asv@Isaiah:3:22 @the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels;

asv@Isaiah:3:23 @the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils.

asv@Isaiah:3:24 @And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.

asv@Isaiah:4:3 @And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem;

asv@Isaiah:4:4 @when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.

asv@Isaiah:4:5 @And Jehovah will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be spread a covering.

asv@Isaiah:4:6 @And there shall be a pavilion for a shade in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain.

asv@Isaiah:5:2 @and he digged it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

asv@Isaiah:5:3 @And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

asv@Isaiah:5:5 @And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

asv@Isaiah:5:6 @and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

asv@Isaiah:5:7 @For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.

asv@Isaiah:5:8 @Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

asv@Isaiah:5:9 @In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

asv@Isaiah:5:10 @For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.

asv@Isaiah:5:12 @And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

asv@Isaiah:5:13 @Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

asv@Isaiah:5:14 @Therefore Sheol hath enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it.

asv@Isaiah:5:15 @And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:

asv@Isaiah:5:16 @but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

asv@Isaiah:5:17 @Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.

asv@Isaiah:5:18 @Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;

asv@Isaiah:5:19 @that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

asv@Isaiah:5:20 @Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

asv@Isaiah:5:21 @Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

asv@Isaiah:5:22 @Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;

asv@Isaiah:5:23 @that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

asv@Isaiah:5:24 @Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:5:25 @Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

asv@Isaiah:5:26 @And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.

asv@Isaiah:5:28 @whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind:

asv@Isaiah:5:29 @their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.

asv@Isaiah:5:30 @And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.

asv@Isaiah:6:1 @In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.

asv@Isaiah:6:2 @Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

asv@Isaiah:6:3 @And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

asv@Isaiah:6:4 @And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

asv@Isaiah:6:5 @Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.

asv@Isaiah:6:6 @Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

asv@Isaiah:6:7 @and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.

asv@Isaiah:6:8 @And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.

asv@Isaiah:6:9 @And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

asv@Isaiah:6:10 @Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they sea with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.

asv@Isaiah:6:11 @Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,

asv@Isaiah:6:12 @and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.

asv@Isaiah:6:13 @And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.

asv@Isaiah:7:1 @And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

asv@Isaiah:7:2 @And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.

asv@Isaiah:7:3 @Then said Jehovah unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field;

asv@Isaiah:7:4 @and say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

asv@Isaiah:7:5 @Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against thee, saying,

asv@Isaiah:7:6 @Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel;

asv@Isaiah:7:7 @thus saith the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.

asv@Isaiah:7:8 @For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken in pieces, so that is shall not be a people:

asv@Isaiah:7:9 @and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

asv@Isaiah:7:10 @And Jehovah spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

asv@Isaiah:7:13 @And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?

asv@Isaiah:7:14 @Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

asv@Isaiah:7:15 @Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

asv@Isaiah:7:16 @For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken.

asv@Isaiah:7:17 @Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah-even the king of Assyria.

asv@Isaiah:7:18 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

asv@Isaiah:7:19 @And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all pastures.

asv@Isaiah:7:20 @In that day will the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.

asv@Isaiah:7:21 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;

asv@Isaiah:7:22 @and it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.

asv@Isaiah:7:23 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, shall be for briers and thorns.

asv@Isaiah:7:24 @With arrows and with bow shall one come thither, because all the land shall be briers and thorns.

asv@Isaiah:7:25 @And all the hills that were digged with the mattock, thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

asv@Isaiah:8:1 @And Jehovah said unto me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz;

asv@Isaiah:8:2 @and I will take unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

asv@Isaiah:8:3 @And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said Jehovah unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

asv@Isaiah:8:4 @For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.

asv@Isaiah:8:5 @And Jehovah spake unto me yet again, saying,

asv@Isaiah:8:6 @Forasmuch as this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

asv@Isaiah:8:7 @now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;

asv@Isaiah:8:8 @and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

asv@Isaiah:8:9 @Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces.

asv@Isaiah:8:10 @Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

asv@Isaiah:8:11 @For Jehovah spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

asv@Isaiah:8:13 @Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

asv@Isaiah:8:14 @And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

asv@Isaiah:8:15 @And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

asv@Isaiah:8:17 @And I will wait for Jehovah, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

asv@Isaiah:8:18 @Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.

asv@Isaiah:8:19 @And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living should they seek unto the dead?

asv@Isaiah:8:20 @To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

asv@Isaiah:8:21 @And they shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:

asv@Isaiah:8:22 @and they shall look unto the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness they shall be driven away.

asv@Isaiah:9:1 @But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

asv@Isaiah:9:2 @The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

asv@Isaiah:9:4 @For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.

asv@Isaiah:9:5 @For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire.

asv@Isaiah:9:6 @For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

asv@Isaiah:9:7 @Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

asv@Isaiah:9:8 @The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

asv@Isaiah:9:9 @And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,

asv@Isaiah:9:11 @Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,

asv@Isaiah:9:12 @the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

asv@Isaiah:9:14 @Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.

asv@Isaiah:9:15 @The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

asv@Isaiah:9:16 @For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

asv@Isaiah:9:17 @Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

asv@Isaiah:9:18 @For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

asv@Isaiah:9:19 @Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother.

asv@Isaiah:9:20 @And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

asv@Isaiah:9:21 @Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

asv@Isaiah:10:1 @Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness;

asv@Isaiah:10:2 @to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

asv@Isaiah:10:3 @And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

asv@Isaiah:10:4 @They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

asv@Isaiah:10:5 @Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!

asv@Isaiah:10:6 @I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

asv@Isaiah:10:7 @Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

asv@Isaiah:10:10 @As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

asv@Isaiah:22:24 @And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.

asv@Isaiah:22:25 @In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for Jehovah hath spoken it.

asv@Isaiah:23:1 @The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.

asv@Isaiah:23:3 @And on great waters the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations.

asv@Isaiah:23:10 @Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.

asv@Isaiah:23:11 @He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken the kingdoms: Jehovah hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof.

asv@Isaiah:23:12 @And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no rest.

asv@Isaiah:23:13 @Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: this people was not; the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces thereof; they made it a ruin.

asv@Isaiah:23:15 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it shall be unto Tyre as in the song of the harlot.

asv@Isaiah:23:17 @And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

asv@Isaiah:23:18 @And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

asv@Isaiah:24:1 @Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

asv@Isaiah:24:2 @And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.

asv@Isaiah:24:3 @The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.

asv@Isaiah:24:4 @The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.

asv@Isaiah:24:6 @Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

asv@Isaiah:24:11 @There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

asv@Isaiah:24:12 @In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

asv@Isaiah:24:17 @Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

asv@Isaiah:24:18 @And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

asv@Isaiah:24:20 @The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.

asv@Isaiah:24:21 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

asv@Isaiah:24:22 @And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.

asv@Isaiah:24:23 @Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory.

asv@Isaiah:25:1 @O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.

asv@Isaiah:25:6 @And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

asv@Isaiah:25:7 @And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

asv@Isaiah:25:8 @He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.

asv@Isaiah:25:9 @And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

asv@Isaiah:25:10 @For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill.

asv@Isaiah:25:11 @And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; but Jehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.

asv@Isaiah:25:12 @And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

asv@Isaiah:26:1 @In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.

asv@Isaiah:26:6 @The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

asv@Isaiah:26:10 @Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:26:11 @Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.

asv@Isaiah:26:14 @They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish.

asv@Isaiah:26:15 @Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.

asv@Isaiah:26:17 @Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:26:19 @Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

asv@Isaiah:26:20 @Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

asv@Isaiah:26:21 @For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

asv@Isaiah:27:1 @In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.

asv@Isaiah:27:3 @I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

asv@Isaiah:27:4 @Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.

asv@Isaiah:27:6 @In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.

asv@Isaiah:27:9 @Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.

asv@Isaiah:27:10 @For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

asv@Isaiah:27:11 @When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.

asv@Isaiah:27:12 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off his fruit from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:27:13 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

asv@Isaiah:28:1 @Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine!

asv@Isaiah:28:2 @Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will he cast down to the earth with the hand.

asv@Isaiah:28:4 @and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

asv@Isaiah:28:5 @In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people;

asv@Isaiah:28:6 @and a spirit of justice to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.

asv@Isaiah:28:7 @And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

asv@Isaiah:28:8 @For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

asv@Isaiah:28:9 @Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?

asv@Isaiah:28:11 @Nay, but by men of strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people;

asv@Isaiah:28:12 @to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

asv@Isaiah:28:13 @Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

asv@Isaiah:28:15 @Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

asv@Isaiah:28:17 @And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.

asv@Isaiah:28:18 @And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

asv@Isaiah:28:19 @As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message.

asv@Isaiah:28:20 @For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

asv@Isaiah:28:21 @For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

asv@Isaiah:28:23 @Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

asv@Isaiah:28:24 @Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he continually open and harrow his ground?

asv@Isaiah:28:25 @When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof?

asv@Isaiah:28:26 @For his God doth instruct him aright, and doth teach him.

asv@Isaiah:28:27 @For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

asv@Isaiah:28:28 @Bread grain is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it.

asv@Isaiah:28:29 @This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

asv@Isaiah:29:2 @then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation; and she shall be unto me as Ariel.

asv@Isaiah:29:3 @And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops, and I will raise siege works against thee.

asv@Isaiah:29:4 @And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

asv@Isaiah:29:5 @But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.

asv@Isaiah:29:6 @She shall be visited of Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.

asv@Isaiah:29:7 @And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.

asv@Isaiah:29:8 @And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

asv@Isaiah:29:9 @Tarry ye and wonder; take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

asv@Isaiah:29:10 @For Jehovah hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, hath he covered.

asv@Isaiah:29:11 @And all vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed:

asv@Isaiah:29:12 @and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I am not learned.

asv@Isaiah:29:13 @And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh unto me, and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught them;

asv@Isaiah:29:14 @therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

asv@Isaiah:29:15 @Woe unto them that hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and that say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

asv@Isaiah:29:16 @Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

asv@Isaiah:29:17 @Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

asv@Isaiah:29:18 @And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

asv@Isaiah:29:19 @The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:29:20 @For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scoffer ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off;

asv@Isaiah:29:21 @that make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought.

asv@Isaiah:29:23 @But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name; yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:29:24 @They also that err in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmur shall receive instruction.

asv@Isaiah:30:1 @Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

asv@Isaiah:30:2 @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!

asv@Isaiah:30:3 @Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

asv@Isaiah:30:4 @For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.

asv@Isaiah:30:5 @They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

asv@Isaiah:30:6 @The burden of the beasts 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 upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

asv@Isaiah:30:7 @For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still.

asv@Isaiah:30:8 @Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.

asv@Isaiah:30:10 @that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

asv@Isaiah:30:12 @Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;

asv@Isaiah:30:14 @And 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 thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

asv@Isaiah:30:15 @For thus said the Lord Jehovah, 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:

asv@Isaiah:30:16 @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.

asv@Isaiah:30:17 @One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

asv@Isaiah:30:18 @And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.

asv@Isaiah:30:20 @And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers;

asv@Isaiah:30:21 @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.

asv@Isaiah:30:22 @And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

asv@Isaiah:30:23 @And he will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;

asv@Isaiah:30:24 @the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

asv@Isaiah:30:25 @And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

asv@Isaiah:30:26 @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 Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

asv@Isaiah:30:27 @Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh 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;

asv@Isaiah:30:28 @and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.

asv@Isaiah:30:29 @Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:30:30 @And Jehovah 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.

asv@Isaiah:30:32 @And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing of his arm will he fight with them.

asv@Isaiah:30:33 @For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

asv@Isaiah:31:1 @Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!

asv@Isaiah:31:2 @Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

asv@Isaiah:31:3 @Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

asv@Isaiah:31:4 @For thus saith Jehovah unto me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Jehovah of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.

asv@Isaiah:31:5 @As birds hovering, so will Jehovah of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it, he will pass over and preserve it.

asv@Isaiah:31:7 @For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

asv@Isaiah:31:8 @And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to taskwork.

asv@Isaiah:31:9 @And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

asv@Isaiah:32:1 @Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.

asv@Isaiah:32:2 @And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land.

asv@Isaiah:32:3 @And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

asv@Isaiah:32:4 @And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

asv@Isaiah:32:6 @For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise profaneness, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

asv@Isaiah:32:7 @And the instruments of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

asv@Isaiah:32:8 @But the noble deviseth noble things; and in noble things shall he continue.

asv@Isaiah:32:13 @Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

asv@Isaiah:32:14 @For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

asv@Isaiah:32:15 @until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest.

asv@Isaiah:32:16 @Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.

asv@Isaiah:32:17 @And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence for ever.

asv@Isaiah:32:18 @And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.

asv@Isaiah:32:19 @But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.

asv@Isaiah:32:20 @Blessed are yet that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.

asv@Isaiah:33:1 @Woe to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee!

asv@Isaiah:33:4 @And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it.

asv@Isaiah:33:5 @Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

asv@Isaiah:33:6 @And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.

asv@Isaiah:33:19 @Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand.

asv@Isaiah:34:1 @Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth from it.

asv@Isaiah:34:2 @For Jehovah hath indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

asv@Isaiah:34:6 @The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

asv@Isaiah:36:1 @Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

asv@Isaiah:36:2 @And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.

asv@Isaiah:36:3 @Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.

asv@Isaiah:36:4 @And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

asv@Isaiah:36:5 @I say, thy counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?

asv@Isaiah:36:6 @Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.

asv@Isaiah:36:7 @But if thou say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

asv@Isaiah:36:8 @Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

asv@Isaiah:36:9 @How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

asv@Isaiah:36:10 @And am I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

asv@Isaiah:36:11 @Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

asv@Isaiah:36:12 @But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?

asv@Isaiah:36:13 @Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

asv@Isaiah:36:15 @neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

asv@Isaiah:36:16 @Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

asv@Isaiah:36:17 @until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

asv@Isaiah:36:18 @Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

asv@Isaiah:36:19 @Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

asv@Isaiah:36:20 @Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

asv@Isaiah:36:21 @But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

asv@Isaiah:36:22 @Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

asv@Isaiah:37:1 @And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:37:2 @And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

asv@Isaiah:37:3 @And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

asv@Isaiah:37:4 @It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.

asv@Isaiah:37:6 @And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

asv@Isaiah:37:7 @Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

asv@Isaiah:37:8 @So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

asv@Isaiah:37:9 @And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

asv@Isaiah:37:10 @Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

asv@Isaiah:37:11 @Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?

asv@Isaiah:37:12 @Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?

asv@Isaiah:37:13 @Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?

asv@Isaiah:37:14 @And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:37:15 @And Hezekiah prayed unto Jehovah, saying,

asv@Isaiah:37:16 @O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest above the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

asv@Isaiah:37:17 @Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to defy the living God.

asv@Isaiah:37:18 @Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,

asv@Isaiah:37:19 @and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.

asv@Isaiah:37:20 @Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, even thou only.

asv@Isaiah:37:22 @this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

asv@Isaiah:37:23 @Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:37:24 @By thy servants hast thou defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field;

asv@Isaiah:37:25 @I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.

asv@Isaiah:37:26 @Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

asv@Isaiah:37:27 @Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field of grain before it is grown up.

asv@Isaiah:37:28 @But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.

asv@Isaiah:37:29 @Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

asv@Isaiah:37:30 @And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

asv@Isaiah:37:31 @And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

asv@Isaiah:37:32 @For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.

asv@Isaiah:37:34 @By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:37:35 @For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

asv@Isaiah:37:36 @And the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

asv@Isaiah:37:37 @So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

asv@Isaiah:37:38 @And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.

asv@Isaiah:38:1 @In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

asv@Isaiah:38:2 @Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah,

asv@Isaiah:38:3 @and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

asv@Isaiah:38:5 @Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

asv@Isaiah:38:6 @And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city.

asv@Isaiah:38:7 @And this shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:

asv@Isaiah:38:9 @The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.

asv@Isaiah:38:11 @I said, I shall not see Jehovah, even Jehovah in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

asv@Isaiah:38:12 @My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd's tent: I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he will cut me off from the loom: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

asv@Isaiah:38:15 @What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

asv@Isaiah:38:16 @O Lord, by these things men live; And wholly therein is the life of my spirit: Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.

asv@Isaiah:38:21 @Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

asv@Isaiah:39:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

asv@Isaiah:39:2 @And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

asv@Isaiah:39:3 @Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.

asv@Isaiah:39:4 @Then said he, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

asv@Isaiah:39:6 @Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:39:7 @And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

asv@Isaiah:39:8 @Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

asv@Isaiah:40:2 @Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah's hand double for all her sins.

asv@Isaiah:40:4 @Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:

asv@Isaiah:40:5 @and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.

asv@Isaiah:40:6 @The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.

asv@Isaiah:40:8 @The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever.

asv@Isaiah:51:23 @and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over.

asv@Isaiah:52:1 @Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

asv@Isaiah:52:3 @For thus saith Jehovah, Ye were sold for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

asv@Isaiah:52:4 @For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without cause.

asv@Isaiah:52:5 @Now therefore, what do I here, saith Jehovah, seeing that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them do howl, saith Jehovah, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.

asv@Isaiah:52:10 @Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

asv@Isaiah:52:12 @For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.

asv@Isaiah:52:13 @Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.

asv@Isaiah:52:14 @Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

asv@Isaiah:52:15 @so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.

asv@Isaiah:53:1 @Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

asv@Isaiah:53:2 @For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

asv@Isaiah:53:3 @He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.

asv@Isaiah:53:4 @Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

asv@Isaiah:53:5 @But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

asv@Isaiah:53:6 @All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

asv@Isaiah:53:7 @He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

asv@Isaiah:53:8 @By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?

asv@Isaiah:53:9 @And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

asv@Isaiah:53:10 @Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.

asv@Isaiah:53:11 @He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.

asv@Isaiah:53:12 @Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

asv@Isaiah:54:1 @Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:54:2 @Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations; spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.

asv@Isaiah:54:3 @For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

asv@Isaiah:54:4 @Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth; and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more.

asv@Isaiah:54:5 @For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

asv@Isaiah:54:6 @For Jehovah hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, saith thy God.

asv@Isaiah:54:10 @For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.

asv@Isaiah:54:11 @O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

asv@Isaiah:54:12 @And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones.

asv@Isaiah:54:13 @And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

asv@Isaiah:54:14 @In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.

asv@Isaiah:54:16 @Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

asv@Isaiah:54:17 @No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:55:1 @Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

asv@Isaiah:55:2 @Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

asv@Isaiah:55:3 @Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

asv@Isaiah:55:4 @Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.

asv@Isaiah:55:5 @Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not; and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

asv@Isaiah:55:7 @let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

asv@Isaiah:55:9 @For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

asv@Isaiah:55:10 @For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

asv@Isaiah:55:11 @so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

asv@Isaiah:55:12 @For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.

asv@Isaiah:55:13 @Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree: and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

asv@Isaiah:56:1 @Thus saith Jehovah, Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

asv@Isaiah:56:2 @Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth it fast; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

asv@Isaiah:56:4 @For thus saith Jehovah of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:

asv@Isaiah:56:5 @Unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

asv@Isaiah:56:6 @Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast my covenant;

asv@Isaiah:56:7 @even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

asv@Isaiah:56:11 @Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.

asv@Isaiah:56:12 @Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, a day great beyond measure.

asv@Isaiah:57:1 @The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

asv@Isaiah:57:3 @But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

asv@Isaiah:57:4 @Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

asv@Isaiah:57:7 @Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed; thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

asv@Isaiah:57:8 @And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy memorial: for thou hast uncovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them: thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

asv@Isaiah:57:9 @And thou wentest to the king with oil, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, and didst debase thyself even unto Sheol.

asv@Isaiah:57:11 @And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou liest, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of long time, and thou fearest me not?

asv@Isaiah:57:12 @I will declare thy righteousness; and as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.

asv@Isaiah:57:13 @When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he that taketh refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.

asv@Isaiah:57:14 @And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.

asv@Isaiah:57:15 @For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

asv@Isaiah:57:16 @For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.

asv@Isaiah:57:17 @For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid my face and was wroth; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

asv@Isaiah:57:18 @I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

asv@Isaiah:57:19 @I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.

asv@Isaiah:57:20 @But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

asv@Isaiah:58:1 @Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

asv@Isaiah:58:2 @Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near unto God.

asv@Isaiah:58:3 @Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find your own pleasure, and exact all your labors.

asv@Isaiah:58:4 @Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

asv@Isaiah:58:5 @Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Jehovah?

asv@Isaiah:58:6 @Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

asv@Isaiah:58:7 @Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

asv@Isaiah:58:8 @Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall by thy rearward.

asv@Isaiah:58:9 @Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;

asv@Isaiah:58:10 @and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday;

asv@Isaiah:58:11 @and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

asv@Isaiah:58:12 @And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

asv@Isaiah:58:13 @If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of Jehovah honorable; and shalt honor it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

asv@Isaiah:58:14 @then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.

asv@Isaiah:59:1 @Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

asv@Isaiah:59:2 @but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear.

asv@Isaiah:59:3 @For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.

asv@Isaiah:59:4 @None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

asv@Isaiah:59:5 @They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

asv@Isaiah:59:6 @Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

asv@Isaiah:59:7 @Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.

asv@Isaiah:59:8 @The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.

asv@Isaiah:59:11 @We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

asv@Isaiah:59:12 @For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:

asv@Isaiah:59:13 @transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

asv@Isaiah:59:14 @And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

asv@Isaiah:59:15 @Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.

asv@Isaiah:59:16 @And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.

asv@Isaiah:59:17 @And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

asv@Isaiah:59:18 @According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.

asv@Isaiah:59:19 @So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth.

asv@Isaiah:59:20 @And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:59:21 @And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.

asv@Isaiah:60:1 @Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.

asv@Isaiah:60:2 @For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

asv@Isaiah:60:3 @And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

asv@Isaiah:60:4 @Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms.

asv@Isaiah:60:5 @Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee.

asv@Isaiah:60:6 @The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:60:7 @All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee; they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.

asv@Isaiah:60:8 @Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

asv@Isaiah:60:9 @Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

asv@Isaiah:60:10 @And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor have I had mercy on thee.

asv@Isaiah:60:11 @Thy gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.

asv@Isaiah:60:12 @For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

asv@Isaiah:60:13 @The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

asv@Isaiah:60:14 @And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

asv@Isaiah:60:15 @Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

asv@Isaiah:60:16 @Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

asv@Isaiah:60:17 @For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

asv@Isaiah:60:18 @Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

asv@Isaiah:60:19 @The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but Jehovah will be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

asv@Isaiah:60:20 @Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

asv@Isaiah:60:21 @Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

asv@Isaiah:60:22 @The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.

asv@Isaiah:61:1 @The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

asv@Isaiah:61:2 @to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

asv@Isaiah:61:3 @to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.

asv@Isaiah:61:5 @And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers.

asv@Isaiah:61:6 @But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

asv@Isaiah:61:7 @Instead of your shame ye shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them.

asv@Isaiah:61:8 @For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

asv@Isaiah:61:9 @And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed.

asv@Isaiah:61:10 @I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

asv@Isaiah:63:3 @I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

asv@Isaiah:63:4 @For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

asv@Isaiah:63:5 @And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

asv@Isaiah:63:6 @And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

asv@Isaiah:63:7 @I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

asv@Isaiah:63:10 @But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.

asv@Isaiah:63:11 @Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?

asv@Isaiah:64:7 @And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities.

asv@Isaiah:64:8 @But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

asv@Isaiah:64:11 @Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.

asv@Isaiah:64:12 @Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Jehovah? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

asv@Isaiah:65:2 @I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

asv@Isaiah:65:3 @a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;

asv@Isaiah:65:4 @that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

asv@Isaiah:65:5 @that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

asv@Isaiah:65:7 @your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom.

asv@Isaiah:65:8 @Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.

asv@Isaiah:65:9 @And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

asv@Isaiah:65:10 @And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

asv@Isaiah:65:11 @But ye that forsake Jehovah, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny;

asv@Isaiah:65:12 @I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.

asv@Isaiah:65:14 @behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.

asv@Isaiah:65:15 @And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; and the Lord Jehovah will slay thee; and he will call his servants by another name:

asv@Isaiah:65:16 @so that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

asv@Isaiah:65:17 @For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

asv@Isaiah:65:18 @But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

asv@Isaiah:65:19 @And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

asv@Isaiah:65:20 @There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.

asv@Isaiah:65:21 @And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

asv@Isaiah:65:22 @They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

asv@Isaiah:65:23 @They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.

asv@Isaiah:65:24 @And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

asv@Isaiah:65:25 @The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:66:1 @Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest?

asv@Isaiah:66:2 @For all these things hath my hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word.

asv@Isaiah:66:3 @He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as he that offereth swine's blood; he that burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:

asv@Isaiah:66:4 @I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.

asv@Isaiah:66:8 @Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

asv@Isaiah:66:9 @Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah: shall I that cause to bring forth shut the womb? saith thy God.

asv@Isaiah:66:10 @Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her;

asv@Isaiah:66:11 @that ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

asv@Isaiah:66:12 @For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and ye shall suck thereof; ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.

asv@Isaiah:66:13 @As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

asv@Isaiah:66:14 @And ye shall see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

asv@Isaiah:66:15 @For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

asv@Isaiah:66:16 @For by fire will Jehovah execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.

asv@Isaiah:66:17 @They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:66:18 @For I know their works and their thoughts: the time cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.

asv@Isaiah:66:19 @And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

asv@Isaiah:66:20 @And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:66:21 @And of them also will I take for priests and for Levites, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:66:22 @For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

asv@Isaiah:66:23 @And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.

asv@Isaiah:66:24 @And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

asv@Jeremiah:1:1 @The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

asv@Jeremiah:1:5 @Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.

asv@Jeremiah:1:7 @But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak.

asv@Jeremiah:1:9 @Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth:

asv@Jeremiah:1:10 @see, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.

asv@Jeremiah:1:11 @Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.

asv@Jeremiah:1:13 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a boiling caldron; and the face thereof is from the north.

asv@Jeremiah:1:14 @Then Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

asv@Jeremiah:1:15 @For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.

asv@Jeremiah:1:16 @And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

asv@Jeremiah:1:17 @Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them.

asv@Jeremiah:1:18 @For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

asv@Jeremiah:1:19 @And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.

asv@Jeremiah:2:1 @And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:2:2 @Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

asv@Jeremiah:2:4 @Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:

asv@Jeremiah:2:5 @thus saith Jehovah, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

asv@Jeremiah:2:6 @Neither said they, Where is Jehovah that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?

asv@Jeremiah:2:7 @And I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.

asv@Jeremiah:2:8 @The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handle the law knew me not: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

asv@Jeremiah:2:9 @Wherefore I will yet contend with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children's children will I contend.

asv@Jeremiah:2:10 @For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there hath been such a thing.

asv@Jeremiah:2:12 @Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:2:13 @For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

asv@Jeremiah:2:15 @The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

asv@Jeremiah:2:16 @The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of thy head.

asv@Jeremiah:2:18 @And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

asv@Jeremiah:2:19 @Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

asv@Jeremiah:2:20 @For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bonds; and thou saidst, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, playing the harlot.

asv@Jeremiah:2:22 @For though thou wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:2:25 @Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

asv@Jeremiah:2:26 @As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;

asv@Jeremiah:2:27 @who say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

asv@Jeremiah:2:31 @O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?

asv@Jeremiah:2:37 @From thence also shalt thou go forth, with thy hands upon thy head: for Jehovah hath rejected those in whom thou trustest, and thou shalt not prosper with them.

asv@Jeremiah:3:1 @They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, will he return unto her again? will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:3:2 @Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

asv@Jeremiah:3:3 @Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hast a harlot's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

asv@Jeremiah:3:5 @Will he retain his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.

asv@Jeremiah:3:6 @Moreover Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

asv@Jeremiah:3:7 @And I said after she had done all these things, She will return unto me; but she returned not: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

asv@Jeremiah:3:8 @And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot.

asv@Jeremiah:3:9 @And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

asv@Jeremiah:3:10 @And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:3:11 @And Jehovah said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath showed herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

asv@Jeremiah:3:12 @Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah; I will not look in anger upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah, I will not keep anger for ever.

asv@Jeremiah:3:13 @Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:3:14 @Return, O backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

asv@Jeremiah:3:15 @and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

asv@Jeremiah:3:16 @And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.

asv@Jeremiah:3:17 @At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

asv@Jeremiah:3:18 @In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance unto your fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:3:19 @But I said, How I will put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, Ye shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me.

asv@Jeremiah:3:20 @Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:3:21 @A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping and the supplications of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God.

asv@Jeremiah:3:24 @But the shameful thing hath devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

asv@Jeremiah:3:25 @Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God.

asv@Jeremiah:4:1 @If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jehovah, if thou wilt return unto me, and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight; then shalt thou not be removed;

asv@Jeremiah:4:2 @and thou shalt swear, As Jehovah liveth, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

asv@Jeremiah:4:3 @For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

asv@Jeremiah:4:4 @Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

asv@Jeremiah:4:5 @Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.

asv@Jeremiah:4:6 @Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

asv@Jeremiah:4:7 @A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.

asv@Jeremiah:4:8 @For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.

asv@Jeremiah:4:9 @And it shall come to pass at that day, saith Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

asv@Jeremiah:4:10 @Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the life.

asv@Jeremiah:4:11 @At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;

asv@Jeremiah:4:13 @Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are ruined.

asv@Jeremiah:4:15 @For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth evil from the hills of Ephraim:

asv@Jeremiah:4:16 @make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

asv@Jeremiah:4:18 @Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reacheth unto thy heart.

asv@Jeremiah:4:20 @Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.

asv@Jeremiah:4:21 @How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

asv@Jeremiah:4:22 @For my people are foolish, they know me not; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

asv@Jeremiah:4:23 @I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

asv@Jeremiah:4:24 @I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro.

asv@Jeremiah:4:25 @I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

asv@Jeremiah:4:26 @I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, and before his fierce anger.

asv@Jeremiah:4:27 @For thus saith Jehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.

asv@Jeremiah:4:28 @For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.

asv@Jeremiah:4:29 @Every city fleeth for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.

asv@Jeremiah:4:30 @And thou, when thou art made desolate, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlargest thine eyes with paint, in vain dost thou make thyself fair; thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.

asv@Jeremiah:4:31 @For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers.

asv@Jeremiah:5:1 @Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her.

asv@Jeremiah:5:2 @And though they say, As Jehovah liveth; surely they swear falsely.

asv@Jeremiah:5:5 @I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of Jehovah, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

asv@Jeremiah:5:6 @Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

asv@Jeremiah:5:7 @How can I pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.

asv@Jeremiah:5:9 @Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

asv@Jeremiah:5:10 @Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Jehovah's.

asv@Jeremiah:5:11 @For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:5:12 @They have denied Jehovah, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

asv@Jeremiah:5:13 @and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

asv@Jeremiah:5:14 @Wherefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

asv@Jeremiah:5:15 @Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

asv@Jeremiah:5:17 @And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat; they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds; they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall beat down thy fortified cities, wherein thou trustest, with the sword.

asv@Jeremiah:5:19 @And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah our God done all these things unto us? then shalt thou say unto them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

asv@Jeremiah:5:20 @Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:5:21 @Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not:

asv@Jeremiah:5:22 @Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.

asv@Jeremiah:5:23 @But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

asv@Jeremiah:5:24 @Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; that preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

asv@Jeremiah:5:25 @Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.

asv@Jeremiah:5:27 @As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxed rich.

asv@Jeremiah:5:28 @They are waxed fat, they shine: yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

asv@Jeremiah:5:30 @A wonderful and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:

asv@Jeremiah:5:31 @the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

asv@Jeremiah:6:1 @Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.

asv@Jeremiah:6:4 @Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

asv@Jeremiah:6:5 @Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

asv@Jeremiah:6:6 @For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

asv@Jeremiah:6:7 @As a well casteth forth its waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.

asv@Jeremiah:6:8 @Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.

asv@Jeremiah:6:9 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets.

asv@Jeremiah:6:10 @To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Jehovah is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

asv@Jeremiah:6:11 @Therefore I am full of the wrath of Jehovah; I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

asv@Jeremiah:6:12 @And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:6:13 @For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

asv@Jeremiah:6:16 @Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.

asv@Jeremiah:6:17 @And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.

asv@Jeremiah:6:18 @Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

asv@Jeremiah:6:19 @Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.

asv@Jeremiah:6:20 @To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me.

asv@Jeremiah:6:21 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.

asv@Jeremiah:6:22 @Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

asv@Jeremiah:6:23 @They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.

asv@Jeremiah:6:24 @We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

asv@Jeremiah:6:25 @Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, and terror, are on every side.

asv@Jeremiah:6:26 @O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.

asv@Jeremiah:6:27 @I have made thee a trier and a fortress among my people; that thou mayest know and try their way.

asv@Jeremiah:6:28 @They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.

asv@Jeremiah:7:2 @Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:7:3 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

asv@Jeremiah:7:5 @For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

asv@Jeremiah:7:6 @if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:

asv@Jeremiah:7:7 @then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore.

asv@Jeremiah:7:9 @Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,

asv@Jeremiah:7:10 @and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations?

asv@Jeremiah:7:12 @But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

asv@Jeremiah:7:13 @And now, because ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not:

asv@Jeremiah:7:14 @therefore will I do unto the house which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

asv@Jeremiah:7:15 @And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

asv@Jeremiah:7:17 @Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

asv@Jeremiah:7:18 @The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

asv@Jeremiah:7:20 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, mine anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

asv@Jeremiah:7:21 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.

asv@Jeremiah:7:22 @For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices:

asv@Jeremiah:7:23 @but this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.

asv@Jeremiah:7:24 @But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

asv@Jeremiah:7:25 @Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

asv@Jeremiah:7:27 @And thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

asv@Jeremiah:7:28 @And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

asv@Jeremiah:7:29 @Cut off thy hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

asv@Jeremiah:7:31 @And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my mind.

asv@Jeremiah:7:33 @And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.

asv@Jeremiah:7:34 @Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.

asv@Jeremiah:8:1 @At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;

asv@Jeremiah:8:2 @and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

asv@Jeremiah:8:3 @And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith Jehovah of hosts.

asv@Jeremiah:8:4 @Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?

asv@Jeremiah:8:6 @I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turneth to his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.

asv@Jeremiah:8:7 @Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:8:8 @How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely.

asv@Jeremiah:8:9 @The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what manner of wisdom is in them?

asv@Jeremiah:8:10 @Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

asv@Jeremiah:8:11 @And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

asv@Jeremiah:8:13 @I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

asv@Jeremiah:8:14 @Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:8:15 @We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!

asv@Jeremiah:8:16 @The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those that dwell therein.

asv@Jeremiah:8:17 @For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:8:19 @Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?

asv@Jeremiah:8:20 @The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

asv@Jeremiah:9:1 @Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

asv@Jeremiah:9:2 @Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

asv@Jeremiah:9:3 @And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:9:4 @Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.

asv@Jeremiah:9:5 @And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

asv@Jeremiah:9:7 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?

asv@Jeremiah:9:10 @For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the birds of the heavens and the beasts are fled, they are gone.

asv@Jeremiah:9:11 @And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

asv@Jeremiah:9:12 @Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that he may declare it? wherefore is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?

asv@Jeremiah:9:13 @And Jehovah saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein,

asv@Jeremiah:9:14 @but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them;

asv@Jeremiah:9:15 @therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

asv@Jeremiah:9:16 @I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.

asv@Jeremiah:9:17 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skilful women, that they may come:

asv@Jeremiah:9:18 @and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

asv@Jeremiah:9:19 @For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.

asv@Jeremiah:9:20 @Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.

asv@Jeremiah:9:21 @For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

asv@Jeremiah:9:22 @Speak, Thus saith Jehovah, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman; and none shall gather them.

asv@Jeremiah:9:24 @but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he hath understanding, and knoweth me, that I am Jehovah who exerciseth lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:9:26 @Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners of their hair cut off, that dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.

asv@Jeremiah:10:2 @thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.

asv@Jeremiah:10:3 @For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

asv@Jeremiah:10:4 @They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

asv@Jeremiah:10:5 @They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.

asv@Jeremiah:10:6 @There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

asv@Jeremiah:10:7 @Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee.

asv@Jeremiah:10:8 @But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

asv@Jeremiah:10:9 @There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men.

asv@Jeremiah:10:10 @But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

asv@Jeremiah:10:11 @Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

asv@Jeremiah:10:12 @He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:

asv@Jeremiah:10:13 @when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

asv@Jeremiah:10:14 @Every man is become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

asv@Jeremiah:10:16 @The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

asv@Jeremiah:10:17 @Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.

asv@Jeremiah:10:18 @For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.

asv@Jeremiah:10:19 @Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.

asv@Jeremiah:10:20 @My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

asv@Jeremiah:10:21 @For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

asv@Jeremiah:10:22 @The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.

asv@Jeremiah:10:25 @Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

asv@Jeremiah:11:2 @Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

asv@Jeremiah:11:3 @and say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man that heareth not the words of this covenant,

asv@Jeremiah:11:4 @which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God;

asv@Jeremiah:11:5 @that I may establish the oath which I sware unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, O Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:11:6 @And Jehovah said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.

asv@Jeremiah:11:7 @For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

asv@Jeremiah:11:8 @Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.

asv@Jeremiah:11:9 @And Jehovah said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

asv@Jeremiah:11:10 @They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:11:11 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.

asv@Jeremiah:11:12 @Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

asv@Jeremiah:11:13 @For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

asv@Jeremiah:11:15 @What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

asv@Jeremiah:11:16 @Jehovah called thy name, A green olive-tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

asv@Jeremiah:11:17 @For Jehovah of hosts, who planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal.

asv@Jeremiah:11:18 @And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou showedst me their doings.

asv@Jeremiah:11:19 @But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

asv@Jeremiah:11:20 @But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judgest righteously, who triest the heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

asv@Jeremiah:11:21 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that thou die not by our hand;

asv@Jeremiah:11:22 @therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;

asv@Jeremiah:11:23 @and there shall be no remnant unto them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

asv@Jeremiah:12:2 @Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

asv@Jeremiah:12:3 @But thou, O Jehovah, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

asv@Jeremiah:12:4 @How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.

asv@Jeremiah:12:5 @If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?

asv@Jeremiah:12:6 @For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

asv@Jeremiah:12:7 @I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

asv@Jeremiah:12:11 @They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

asv@Jeremiah:12:12 @Destroyers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace.

asv@Jeremiah:12:13 @They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:12:14 @Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.

asv@Jeremiah:12:15 @And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

asv@Jeremiah:12:16 @And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.

asv@Jeremiah:12:17 @But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:13:1 @Thus saith Jehovah unto me, Go, and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

asv@Jeremiah:13:2 @So I bought a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins.

asv@Jeremiah:13:3 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:13:4 @Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

asv@Jeremiah:13:5 @So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.

asv@Jeremiah:13:6 @And it came to pass after many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.

asv@Jeremiah:13:7 @Then I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

asv@Jeremiah:13:9 @Thus saith Jehovah, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.

asv@Jeremiah:13:10 @This evil people, that refuse to hear my words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.

asv@Jeremiah:13:11 @For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they may be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

asv@Jeremiah:13:12 @Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

asv@Jeremiah:13:13 @Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

asv@Jeremiah:13:14 @And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith Jehovah: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.

asv@Jeremiah:13:15 @Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud; for Jehovah hath spoken.

asv@Jeremiah:13:16 @Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

asv@Jeremiah:13:17 @But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive.

asv@Jeremiah:13:18 @Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother, Humble yourselves, sit down; for your headtires are come down, even the crown of your glory.

asv@Jeremiah:13:19 @The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them: Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.

asv@Jeremiah:13:20 @Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

asv@Jeremiah:13:22 @And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore are these things come upon me? for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.

asv@Jeremiah:13:25 @This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

asv@Jeremiah:13:26 @Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.

asv@Jeremiah:13:27 @I have seen thine abominations, even thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?

asv@Jeremiah:14:2 @Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

asv@Jeremiah:14:3 @And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads.

asv@Jeremiah:14:4 @Because of the ground which is cracked, for that no rain hath been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads.

asv@Jeremiah:14:5 @Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh her young, because there is no grass.

asv@Jeremiah:14:6 @And the wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.

asv@Jeremiah:14:8 @O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

asv@Jeremiah:14:9 @Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

asv@Jeremiah:14:10 @Thus saith Jehovah unto this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

asv@Jeremiah:14:11 @And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.

asv@Jeremiah:14:12 @When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

asv@Jeremiah:14:14 @Then Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake I unto them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart.

asv@Jeremiah:14:15 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

asv@Jeremiah:14:16 @And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them-them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

asv@Jeremiah:14:17 @And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.

asv@Jeremiah:14:18 @If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.

asv@Jeremiah:14:19 @Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!

asv@Jeremiah:14:20 @We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.

asv@Jeremiah:15:1 @Then said Jehovah unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

asv@Jeremiah:15:2 @And it shall come to pass, when they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.

asv@Jeremiah:15:3 @And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.

asv@Jeremiah:15:4 @And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

asv@Jeremiah:15:6 @Thou hast rejected me, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee; I am weary with repenting.

asv@Jeremiah:15:7 @And I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they returned not from their ways.

asv@Jeremiah:15:8 @Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.

asv@Jeremiah:15:9 @She that hath borne seven languisheth; she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she hath been put to shame and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:15:10 @Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them doth curse me.

asv@Jeremiah:15:11 @Jehovah said, Verily I will strengthen thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

asv@Jeremiah:15:12 @Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?

asv@Jeremiah:15:13 @Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.

asv@Jeremiah:15:14 @And I will make them to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

asv@Jeremiah:15:15 @O Jehovah, thou knowest; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach.

asv@Jeremiah:15:16 @Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.

asv@Jeremiah:15:17 @I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.

asv@Jeremiah:15:18 @Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?

asv@Jeremiah:15:19 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, that thou mayest stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto them.

asv@Jeremiah:15:20 @And I will make thee unto this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:15:21 @And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

asv@Jeremiah:16:3 @For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land:

asv@Jeremiah:16:4 @They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.

asv@Jeremiah:16:5 @For thus saith Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies.

asv@Jeremiah:16:6 @Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;

asv@Jeremiah:16:8 @And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.

asv@Jeremiah:16:9 @For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

asv@Jeremiah:16:10 @And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?

asv@Jeremiah:16:11 @Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

asv@Jeremiah:16:12 @and ye have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me:

asv@Jeremiah:16:13 @therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.

asv@Jeremiah:16:14 @Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

asv@Jeremiah:16:15 @but, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:16:16 @Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

asv@Jeremiah:16:18 @And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations.

asv@Jeremiah:16:19 @O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nought but lies, even vanity and things wherein there is no profit.

asv@Jeremiah:17:1 @The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

asv@Jeremiah:17:2 @whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.

asv@Jeremiah:17:3 @O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.

asv@Jeremiah:17:4 @And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever.

asv@Jeremiah:17:5 @Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:17:6 @For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.

asv@Jeremiah:17:7 @Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.

asv@Jeremiah:17:8 @For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

asv@Jeremiah:17:9 @The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

asv@Jeremiah:17:22 @neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work: but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:17:23 @But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

asv@Jeremiah:17:24 @And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

asv@Jeremiah:17:25 @then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain for ever.

asv@Jeremiah:17:26 @And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meal-offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, unto the house of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:17:27 @But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

asv@Jeremiah:18:2 @Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

asv@Jeremiah:18:3 @Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels.

asv@Jeremiah:18:4 @And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

asv@Jeremiah:18:6 @O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.

asv@Jeremiah:18:12 @But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart.

asv@Jeremiah:18:15 @For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;

asv@Jeremiah:18:21 @Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men smitten of the sword in battle.

asv@Jeremiah:18:22 @Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

asv@Jeremiah:19:3 @and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

asv@Jeremiah:19:4 @Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,

asv@Jeremiah:19:5 @and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:

asv@Jeremiah:19:7 @And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.

asv@Jeremiah:19:8 @And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

asv@Jeremiah:19:9 @And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall distress them.

asv@Jeremiah:19:11 @and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.

asv@Jeremiah:19:12 @Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth:

asv@Jeremiah:19:13 @and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods.

asv@Jeremiah:19:14 @Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people:

asv@Jeremiah:19:15 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.

asv@Jeremiah:20:2 @Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:20:3 @And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.

asv@Jeremiah:20:4 @For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

asv@Jeremiah:20:5 @Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the precious things thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

asv@Jeremiah:20:6 @And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.

asv@Jeremiah:20:7 @O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I was persuaded; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh me.

asv@Jeremiah:20:8 @For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day.

asv@Jeremiah:20:9 @And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot contain.

asv@Jeremiah:23:10 @For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right;

asv@Jeremiah:23:11 @for both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:12 @Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:13 @And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

asv@Jeremiah:23:14 @In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, so that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:15 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land.

asv@Jeremiah:23:16 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:17 @They say continually unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you.

asv@Jeremiah:23:18 @For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it?

asv@Jeremiah:23:20 @The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly.

asv@Jeremiah:23:22 @But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

asv@Jeremiah:23:23 @Am I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a God afar off?

asv@Jeremiah:23:24 @Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:28 @The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:29 @Is not my word like fire? saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

asv@Jeremiah:23:31 @Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

asv@Jeremiah:23:32 @Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:23:34 @And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house.

asv@Jeremiah:23:35 @Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath Jehovah answered? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?

asv@Jeremiah:23:36 @And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts our God.

asv@Jeremiah:23:37 @Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath Jehovah answered thee? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?

asv@Jeremiah:23:38 @But if ye say, The burden of Jehovah; therefore thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;

asv@Jeremiah:23:39 @therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from my presence:

asv@Jeremiah:23:40 @and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

asv@Jeremiah:24:1 @Jehovah showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

asv@Jeremiah:24:2 @One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

asv@Jeremiah:24:3 @Then said Jehovah unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

asv@Jeremiah:24:4 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:24:5 @Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.

asv@Jeremiah:24:6 @For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

asv@Jeremiah:24:7 @And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

asv@Jeremiah:24:8 @And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus saith Jehovah, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt,

asv@Jeremiah:24:9 @I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

asv@Jeremiah:24:10 @And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:25:2 @which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

asv@Jeremiah:25:7 @Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.

asv@Jeremiah:25:9 @behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

asv@Jeremiah:25:10 @Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

asv@Jeremiah:25:11 @And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

asv@Jeremiah:25:12 @And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever.

asv@Jeremiah:25:13 @And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

asv@Jeremiah:25:14 @For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

asv@Jeremiah:31:19 @Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.

asv@Jeremiah:31:22 @How long wilt thou go hither and thither, O thou backsliding daughter? for Jehovah hath created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man.

asv@Jeremiah:32:2 @Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.

asv@Jeremiah:32:6 @And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:32:8 @So Hanamel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:32:9 @And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

asv@Jeremiah:32:10 @And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

asv@Jeremiah:32:11 @So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

asv@Jeremiah:32:12 @and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.

asv@Jeremiah:32:13 @And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:32:21 @and didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

asv@Jeremiah:32:22 @and gavest them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

asv@Jeremiah:32:23 @and they came in, and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them.

asv@Jeremiah:32:24 @Behold, the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

asv@Jeremiah:32:31 @For this city hath been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

asv@Jeremiah:32:36 @And now therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

asv@Jeremiah:32:39 @and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

asv@Jeremiah:36:12 @he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, to wit, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

asv@Jeremiah:36:14 @Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.

asv@Jeremiah:36:15 @And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

asv@Jeremiah:36:16 @Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

asv@Jeremiah:36:17 @And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?

asv@Jeremiah:36:18 @Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

asv@Jeremiah:36:19 @Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.

asv@Jeremiah:36:20 @And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.

asv@Jeremiah:36:21 @So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.

asv@Jeremiah:36:22 @Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.

asv@Jeremiah:36:23 @And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

asv@Jeremiah:36:24 @And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

asv@Jeremiah:36:25 @Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them.

asv@Jeremiah:36:26 @And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them.

asv@Jeremiah:36:27 @Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:36:28 @Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

asv@Jeremiah:36:29 @And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

asv@Jeremiah:36:30 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

asv@Jeremiah:36:31 @And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.

asv@Jeremiah:36:32 @Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.

asv@Jeremiah:37:1 @And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

asv@Jeremiah:37:2 @But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of Jehovah, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.

asv@Jeremiah:37:3 @And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto Jehovah our God for us.

asv@Jeremiah:37:4 @Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.

asv@Jeremiah:37:5 @And Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that were besieging Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they brake up from Jerusalem.

asv@Jeremiah:37:7 @Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

asv@Jeremiah:37:8 @And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.

asv@Jeremiah:37:10 @For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yea would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

asv@Jeremiah:37:11 @And it came to pass that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,

asv@Jeremiah:37:12 @then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.

asv@Jeremiah:37:13 @And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou art falling away to the Chaldeans.

asv@Jeremiah:37:14 @Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

asv@Jeremiah:37:15 @And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.

asv@Jeremiah:37:16 @When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;

asv@Jeremiah:37:17 @Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Jehovah? And Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

asv@Jeremiah:37:19 @Where now are your prophets that prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?

asv@Jeremiah:37:20 @And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee, that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

asv@Jeremiah:37:21 @Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

asv@Jeremiah:38:1 @And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spake unto all the people, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:38:2 @Thus saith Jehovah, He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.

asv@Jeremiah:38:3 @Thus saith Jehovah, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

asv@Jeremiah:38:4 @Then the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

asv@Jeremiah:38:5 @And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do anything against you.

asv@Jeremiah:38:6 @Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.

asv@Jeremiah:38:8 @Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:38:9 @My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.

asv@Jeremiah:38:10 @Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

asv@Jeremiah:38:11 @So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

asv@Jeremiah:38:12 @And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

asv@Jeremiah:38:13 @So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

asv@Jeremiah:38:14 @Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.

asv@Jeremiah:38:15 @Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.

asv@Jeremiah:38:16 @So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

asv@Jeremiah:38:17 @Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house.

asv@Jeremiah:38:18 @But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.

asv@Jeremiah:38:19 @And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

asv@Jeremiah:38:20 @But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.

asv@Jeremiah:38:22 @behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: now that thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back.

asv@Jeremiah:38:23 @And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.

asv@Jeremiah:38:24 @Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

asv@Jeremiah:38:25 @But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:

asv@Jeremiah:38:27 @Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

asv@Jeremiah:39:1 @And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;

asv@Jeremiah:39:3 @that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, to wit, Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

asv@Jeremiah:39:4 @And it came to pass that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate betwixt the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

asv@Jeremiah:39:5 @But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.

asv@Jeremiah:39:7 @Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

asv@Jeremiah:39:8 @And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

asv@Jeremiah:39:9 @Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also that fell away to him, and the residue of the people that remained.

asv@Jeremiah:39:10 @But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, that had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

asv@Jeremiah:39:12 @Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

asv@Jeremiah:39:13 @So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;

asv@Jeremiah:39:14 @they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

asv@Jeremiah:39:16 @Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee in that day.

asv@Jeremiah:39:17 @But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

asv@Jeremiah:39:18 @For I will surely save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:40:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive unto Babylon.

asv@Jeremiah:40:2 @And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Jehovah thy God pronounced this evil upon this place;

asv@Jeremiah:40:3 @and Jehovah hath brought it, and done according as he spake: because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.

asv@Jeremiah:40:4 @And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which are upon thy hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well unto thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and right unto thee to go, thither go.

asv@Jeremiah:40:5 @Now while he was not yet gone back, Go back then, said he, to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wheresoever it seemeth right unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a present, and let him go.

asv@Jeremiah:40:6 @Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.

asv@Jeremiah:40:7 @Now when all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;

asv@Jeremiah:40:8 @then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, to wit, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

asv@Jeremiah:40:9 @And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

asv@Jeremiah:40:11 @Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;

asv@Jeremiah:40:12 @then all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

asv@Jeremiah:40:13 @Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

asv@Jeremiah:40:14 @and said unto him, Dost thou know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.

asv@Jeremiah:40:15 @Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he take thy life, that all the Jews that are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?

asv@Jeremiah:41:1 @Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.

asv@Jeremiah:41:2 @Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

asv@Jeremiah:41:5 @that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.

asv@Jeremiah:41:6 @And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

asv@Jeremiah:41:7 @And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.

asv@Jeremiah:41:8 @But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.

asv@Jeremiah:41:10 @Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.

asv@Jeremiah:41:11 @But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,

asv@Jeremiah:41:12 @then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.

asv@Jeremiah:41:13 @Now it came to pass that, when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.

asv@Jeremiah:44:2 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

asv@Jeremiah:44:3 @because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, that they knew not, neither they, nor ye, nor your fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:44:4 @Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

asv@Jeremiah:44:6 @Wherefore my wrath and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.

asv@Jeremiah:44:7 @Therefore now thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining;

asv@Jeremiah:44:8 @in that ye provoke me unto anger with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are gone to sojourn; that ye may be cut off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

asv@Jeremiah:44:9 @Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

asv@Jeremiah:44:10 @They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

asv@Jeremiah:44:12 @And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

asv@Jeremiah:44:13 @For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;

asv@Jeremiah:44:14 @so that none of the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.

asv@Jeremiah:44:15 @Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great assembly, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:44:17 @But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

asv@Jeremiah:44:18 @But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink-offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

asv@Jeremiah:44:19 @And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink-offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink-offerings unto her, without our husbands?

asv@Jeremiah:44:20 @Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people that had given him that answer, saying,

asv@Jeremiah:44:21 @The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Jehovah remember them, and came it not into his mind?

asv@Jeremiah:44:22 @so that Jehovah could not longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.

asv@Jeremiah:44:23 @Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as it is this day.

asv@Jeremiah:44:24 @Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:

asv@Jeremiah:44:25 @Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows.

asv@Jeremiah:44:26 @Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Jehovah liveth.

asv@Jeremiah:44:27 @Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

asv@Jeremiah:44:28 @And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.

asv@Jeremiah:44:29 @And this shall be the sign unto you, saith Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

asv@Jeremiah:44:30 @Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.

asv@Jeremiah:45:3 @Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.

asv@Jeremiah:45:4 @Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.

asv@Jeremiah:46:10 @For that day is a day of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

asv@Jeremiah:52:8 @But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

asv@Jeremiah:52:20 @The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah-the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

asv@Jeremiah:52:21 @And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

asv@Jeremiah:52:22 @And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.

asv@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

asv@Ezekiel:1:3 @the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.

asv@Ezekiel:1:4 @And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

asv@Ezekiel:1:5 @And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

asv@Ezekiel:1:6 @And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.

asv@Ezekiel:1:7 @And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

asv@Ezekiel:1:8 @And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings thus:

asv@Ezekiel:1:10 @As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle.

asv@Ezekiel:1:11 @And their faces and their wings were separate above; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

asv@Ezekiel:1:12 @And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went.

asv@Ezekiel:1:13 @As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

asv@Ezekiel:1:14 @And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

asv@Ezekiel:1:16 @The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

asv@Ezekiel:1:18 @As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about.

asv@Ezekiel:1:19 @And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

asv@Ezekiel:1:20 @Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

asv@Ezekiel:1:21 @When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

asv@Ezekiel:1:22 @And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the terrible crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above.

asv@Ezekiel:1:23 @And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

asv@Ezekiel:1:24 @And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.

asv@Ezekiel:1:25 @And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

asv@Ezekiel:1:26 @And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.

asv@Ezekiel:1:27 @And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

asv@Ezekiel:1:28 @As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

asv@Ezekiel:2:1 @And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

asv@Ezekiel:2:2 @And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me.

asv@Ezekiel:2:3 @And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day.

asv@Ezekiel:2:4 @And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do sent thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:2:5 @And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

asv@Ezekiel:2:6 @And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

asv@Ezekiel:2:7 @And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

asv@Ezekiel:2:8 @But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

asv@Ezekiel:2:9 @And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

asv@Ezekiel:2:10 @And he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

asv@Ezekiel:3:1 @And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:3:2 @So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.

asv@Ezekiel:3:3 @And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

asv@Ezekiel:3:4 @And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

asv@Ezekiel:3:5 @For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;

asv@Ezekiel:3:6 @not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.

asv@Ezekiel:3:7 @But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of hard forehead and of a stiff heart.

asv@Ezekiel:3:8 @Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.

asv@Ezekiel:3:10 @Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.

asv@Ezekiel:3:11 @And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

asv@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place.

asv@Ezekiel:3:13 @And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

asv@Ezekiel:3:14 @So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.

asv@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

asv@Ezekiel:3:16 @And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:3:17 @Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

asv@Ezekiel:3:18 @When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

asv@Ezekiel:3:19 @Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

asv@Ezekiel:3:20 @Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

asv@Ezekiel:3:21 @Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.

asv@Ezekiel:3:22 @And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

asv@Ezekiel:3:23 @Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

asv@Ezekiel:3:24 @Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.

asv@Ezekiel:3:25 @But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

asv@Ezekiel:3:26 @and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.

asv@Ezekiel:3:27 @But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

asv@Ezekiel:4:1 @Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem:

asv@Ezekiel:4:2 @and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about.

asv@Ezekiel:4:3 @And take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:4:4 @Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.

asv@Ezekiel:4:5 @For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be unto thee a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:4:6 @And again, when thou hast accomplished these, thou shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it unto thee.

asv@Ezekiel:4:7 @And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it.

asv@Ezekiel:4:8 @And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou hast accomplished the days of thy siege.

asv@Ezekiel:4:9 @Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat thereof.

asv@Ezekiel:4:10 @And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.

asv@Ezekiel:4:11 @And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.

asv@Ezekiel:4:12 @And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man.

asv@Ezekiel:4:13 @And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither I will drive them.

asv@Ezekiel:4:15 @Then he said unto me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereon.

asv@Ezekiel:4:16 @Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

asv@Ezekiel:4:17 @that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.

asv@Ezekiel:5:1 @And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword; as a barber's razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

asv@Ezekiel:5:2 @A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.

asv@Ezekiel:5:3 @And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

asv@Ezekiel:5:4 @And of these again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:5:5 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.

asv@Ezekiel:5:6 @And she hath rebelled against mine ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have rejected mine ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.

asv@Ezekiel:5:7 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept mine ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;

asv@Ezekiel:5:8 @therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

asv@Ezekiel:5:9 @And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:5:10 @Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on thee; and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter unto all the winds.

asv@Ezekiel:5:11 @Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, and I also will have no pity.

asv@Ezekiel:5:12 @A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.

asv@Ezekiel:5:13 @Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath upon them.

asv@Ezekiel:5:14 @Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

asv@Ezekiel:5:15 @So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments on thee in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes; (I, Jehovah, have spoken it;)

asv@Ezekiel:5:16 @when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread;

asv@Ezekiel:5:17 @and I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

asv@Ezekiel:6:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:6:2 @Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto them,

asv@Ezekiel:6:3 @and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

asv@Ezekiel:6:6 @In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.

asv@Ezekiel:6:9 @And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which hath departed from me, and with they eyes, which play the harlot after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:6:10 @And they shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

asv@Ezekiel:6:11 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

asv@Ezekiel:6:12 @He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath upon them.

asv@Ezekiel:6:13 @And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.

asv@Ezekiel:6:14 @And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:7:8 @Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:7:20 @As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing.

asv@Ezekiel:8:1 @And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there upon me.

asv@Ezekiel:8:2 @Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.

asv@Ezekiel:8:3 @And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

asv@Ezekiel:8:4 @And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.

asv@Ezekiel:8:5 @Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

asv@Ezekiel:8:6 @And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet other great abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:8:7 @And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

asv@Ezekiel:8:8 @Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold, a door.

asv@Ezekiel:8:9 @And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.

asv@Ezekiel:8:10 @So I went in and saw; and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.

asv@Ezekiel:8:11 @And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.

asv@Ezekiel:8:12 @Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land.

asv@Ezekiel:8:14 @Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Jehovah's house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.

asv@Ezekiel:8:16 @And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah's house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.

asv@Ezekiel:8:17 @Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

asv@Ezekiel:8:18 @Therefore will I also deal in wrath; mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

asv@Ezekiel:9:1 @Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

asv@Ezekiel:9:2 @And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.

asv@Ezekiel:9:3 @And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side.

asv@Ezekiel:9:4 @And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.

asv@Ezekiel:9:5 @And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;

asv@Ezekiel:9:6 @slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.

asv@Ezekiel:9:7 @And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city.

asv@Ezekiel:9:8 @And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?

asv@Ezekiel:9:9 @Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wrestling of judgment: for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah seeth not.

asv@Ezekiel:9:10 @And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head.

asv@Ezekiel:9:11 @And behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

asv@Ezekiel:10:1 @Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

asv@Ezekiel:10:2 @And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

asv@Ezekiel:10:3 @Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

asv@Ezekiel:10:4 @And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah's glory.

asv@Ezekiel:10:5 @And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh.

asv@Ezekiel:10:6 @And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

asv@Ezekiel:10:7 @And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

asv@Ezekiel:10:8 @And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

asv@Ezekiel:10:9 @And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like unto a beryl stone.

asv@Ezekiel:10:10 @And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel have been within a wheel.

asv@Ezekiel:10:12 @And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

asv@Ezekiel:10:14 @And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

asv@Ezekiel:10:15 @And the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

asv@Ezekiel:10:16 @And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them.

asv@Ezekiel:10:17 @When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

asv@Ezekiel:10:18 @And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.

asv@Ezekiel:10:19 @And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

asv@Ezekiel:10:20 @This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

asv@Ezekiel:10:21 @Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

asv@Ezekiel:10:22 @And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.

asv@Ezekiel:11:1 @Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah's house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

asv@Ezekiel:11:2 @And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;

asv@Ezekiel:11:3 @that say, The time is not near to build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.

asv@Ezekiel:11:5 @And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said unto me, Speak, Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

asv@Ezekiel:11:6 @Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

asv@Ezekiel:11:7 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.

asv@Ezekiel:11:8 @Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:11:9 @And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

asv@Ezekiel:11:10 @Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:11:12 @and ye shall know that I am Jehovah: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither have ye executed mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.

asv@Ezekiel:11:13 @And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?

asv@Ezekiel:11:14 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:11:15 @Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from Jehovah; unto us is this land given for a possession.

asv@Ezekiel:11:16 @Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they are come.

asv@Ezekiel:11:17 @Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:11:18 @And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.

asv@Ezekiel:11:19 @And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

asv@Ezekiel:11:20 @that they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

asv@Ezekiel:11:21 @But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:11:22 @Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

asv@Ezekiel:11:23 @And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

asv@Ezekiel:11:24 @And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

asv@Ezekiel:12:2 @Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.

asv@Ezekiel:12:3 @Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

asv@Ezekiel:12:4 @And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.

asv@Ezekiel:12:5 @Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.

asv@Ezekiel:12:6 @In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the land: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:12:7 @And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.

asv@Ezekiel:12:8 @And in the morning came the word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:12:10 @Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.

asv@Ezekiel:12:12 @And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.

asv@Ezekiel:12:13 @My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

asv@Ezekiel:12:14 @And I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.

asv@Ezekiel:12:15 @And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.

asv@Ezekiel:12:16 @But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:12:18 @Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness;

asv@Ezekiel:12:19 @and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and despoiled of all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.

asv@Ezekiel:12:20 @And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:12:21 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:12:22 @Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?

asv@Ezekiel:12:23 @Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.

asv@Ezekiel:12:25 @For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:12:27 @Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many day to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.

asv@Ezekiel:13:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:13:2 @Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah:

asv@Ezekiel:13:3 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

asv@Ezekiel:13:5 @Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:13:6 @They have seen falsehood and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith; but Jehovah hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

asv@Ezekiel:13:7 @Have ye not seen a false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, in that ye say, Jehovah saith; albeit I have not spoken?

asv@Ezekiel:13:8 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:13:9 @And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false visions, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:13:10 @Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered mortar:

asv@Ezekiel:13:11 @say unto them that daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

asv@Ezekiel:13:13 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.

asv@Ezekiel:13:14 @So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:13:15 @Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

asv@Ezekiel:13:16 @to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:13:17 @And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

asv@Ezekiel:13:18 @and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the women that sew pillows upon all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?

asv@Ezekiel:13:19 @And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hearken unto lies.

asv@Ezekiel:13:20 @Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

asv@Ezekiel:13:21 @Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:13:22 @Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:

asv@Ezekiel:13:23 @Therefore ye shall no more see false visions, nor divine divinations: and I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:14:1 @Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.

asv@Ezekiel:14:2 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:14:3 @Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

asv@Ezekiel:14:4 @Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Jehovah will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;

asv@Ezekiel:14:6 @Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:14:7 @For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Jehovah will answer him by myself:

asv@Ezekiel:14:8 @and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:14:9 @And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:14:10 @And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him that seeketh unto him;

asv@Ezekiel:14:11 @that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:14:12 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:14:13 @Son of man, when a land sinneth against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast;

asv@Ezekiel:14:14 @though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:14:15 @If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts;

asv@Ezekiel:14:16 @though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate.

asv@Ezekiel:14:17 @Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and beast;

asv@Ezekiel:14:19 @Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast;

asv@Ezekiel:14:20 @though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

asv@Ezekiel:14:21 @For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!

asv@Ezekiel:14:22 @Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings; and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

asv@Ezekiel:14:23 @And they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:15:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:15:4 @Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?

asv@Ezekiel:15:5 @Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!

asv@Ezekiel:15:7 @And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them.

asv@Ezekiel:15:8 @And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:16:3 @and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite.

asv@Ezekiel:16:4 @And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

asv@Ezekiel:16:6 @And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee, Though thou art in thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, Though thou art in thy blood, live.

asv@Ezekiel:16:7 @I caused thee to multiply as that which groweth in the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.

asv@Ezekiel:16:8 @Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.

asv@Ezekiel:16:9 @Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

asv@Ezekiel:16:10 @I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk.

asv@Ezekiel:16:11 @And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

asv@Ezekiel:16:12 @And I put a ring upon thy nose, and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.

asv@Ezekiel:16:13 @Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper unto royal estate.

asv@Ezekiel:16:14 @And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:16:15 @But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was.

asv@Ezekiel:16:16 @And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest for thee high places decked with divers colors, and playedst the harlot upon them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

asv@Ezekiel:16:17 @Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;

asv@Ezekiel:16:18 @and thou tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them, and didst set mine oil and mine incense before them.

asv@Ezekiel:16:19 @My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savor; and thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:16:20 @Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,

asv@Ezekiel:16:21 @that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire unto them?

asv@Ezekiel:16:22 @And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood.

asv@Ezekiel:16:23 @And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah,)

asv@Ezekiel:16:24 @that thou hast built unto thee a vaulted place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street.

asv@Ezekiel:16:25 @Thou hast built thy lofty place at the head of every way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.

asv@Ezekiel:16:26 @Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger.

asv@Ezekiel:16:27 @Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way.

asv@Ezekiel:16:28 @Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied.

asv@Ezekiel:16:29 @Thou hast moreover multiplied thy whoredom unto the land of traffic, unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

asv@Ezekiel:16:31 @in that thou buildest thy vaulted place at the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street, and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire.

asv@Ezekiel:16:32 @A wife that committeth adultery! that taketh strangers instead of her husband!

asv@Ezekiel:16:33 @They give gifts to all harlots; but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms.

asv@Ezekiel:16:34 @And thou art different from other women in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to play the harlot; and whereas thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, therefore thou art different.

asv@Ezekiel:16:36 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, that thou didst give unto them;

asv@Ezekiel:16:37 @therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee on every side, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

asv@Ezekiel:16:38 @And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy.

asv@Ezekiel:16:39 @I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy vaulted place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels; and they shall leave thee naked and bare.

asv@Ezekiel:16:40 @They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.

asv@Ezekiel:16:41 @And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more.

asv@Ezekiel:16:42 @So will I cause my wrath toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

asv@Ezekiel:16:43 @Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord Jehovah: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness with all thine abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:16:45 @Thou art the daughter of thy mother, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

asv@Ezekiel:16:46 @And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

asv@Ezekiel:16:48 @As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

asv@Ezekiel:16:49 @Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

asv@Ezekiel:16:50 @And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

asv@Ezekiel:16:51 @Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.

asv@Ezekiel:16:52 @Thou also, bear thou thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

asv@Ezekiel:16:58 @Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:16:60 @Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

asv@Ezekiel:16:61 @Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger; and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

asv@Ezekiel:16:62 @And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah;

asv@Ezekiel:16:63 @that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:17:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:17:2 @Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;

asv@Ezekiel:17:3 @and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:

asv@Ezekiel:17:4 @he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.

asv@Ezekiel:17:5 @He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow-tree.

asv@Ezekiel:17:6 @And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.

asv@Ezekiel:17:7 @There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.

asv@Ezekiel:17:8 @It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

asv@Ezekiel:17:9 @Say thou, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or much people can it be raised from the roots thereof.

asv@Ezekiel:17:12 @Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon:

asv@Ezekiel:17:13 @and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;

asv@Ezekiel:17:14 @that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

asv@Ezekiel:17:15 @But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?

asv@Ezekiel:17:16 @As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

asv@Ezekiel:17:17 @Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.

asv@Ezekiel:17:18 @For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape.

asv@Ezekiel:17:19 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head.

asv@Ezekiel:17:20 @And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

asv@Ezekiel:17:21 @And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

asv@Ezekiel:17:22 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain:

asv@Ezekiel:17:23 @in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

asv@Ezekiel:17:24 @And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.

asv@Ezekiel:18:2 @What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?

asv@Ezekiel:18:5 @But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

asv@Ezekiel:18:6 @and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbor's wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity,

asv@Ezekiel:18:7 @and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;

asv@Ezekiel:18:8 @he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,

asv@Ezekiel:18:9 @hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:18:10 @If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth any one of these things,

asv@Ezekiel:18:11 @and that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,

asv@Ezekiel:18:12 @hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,

asv@Ezekiel:18:13 @hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

asv@Ezekiel:18:14 @Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doeth not such like;

asv@Ezekiel:18:16 @neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;

asv@Ezekiel:18:17 @that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed mine ordinances, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

asv@Ezekiel:18:18 @As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.

asv@Ezekiel:18:19 @Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? when the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

asv@Ezekiel:18:20 @The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

asv@Ezekiel:18:21 @But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

asv@Ezekiel:18:23 @Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?

asv@Ezekiel:18:24 @But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

asv@Ezekiel:18:26 @When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

asv@Ezekiel:18:27 @Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

asv@Ezekiel:18:28 @Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

asv@Ezekiel:18:30 @Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

asv@Ezekiel:18:31 @Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

asv@Ezekiel:18:32 @For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.

asv@Ezekiel:19:2 @and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.

asv@Ezekiel:19:3 @And she brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

asv@Ezekiel:19:4 @The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks unto the land of Egypt.

asv@Ezekiel:19:5 @Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

asv@Ezekiel:19:6 @And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

asv@Ezekiel:19:7 @And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring.

asv@Ezekiel:19:8 @Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.

asv@Ezekiel:19:9 @And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:19:10 @Thy mother was like a vine, in thy blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

asv@Ezekiel:19:11 @And it had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.

asv@Ezekiel:19:12 @But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them.

asv@Ezekiel:19:13 @And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

asv@Ezekiel:19:14 @And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

asv@Ezekiel:20:1 @And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.

asv@Ezekiel:20:2 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:20:3 @Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Is it to inquire of me that ye are come? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

asv@Ezekiel:20:5 @and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and sware unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I sware unto them, saying, I am Jehovah your God;

asv@Ezekiel:20:6 @in that day I sware unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.

asv@Ezekiel:20:7 @And I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God.

asv@Ezekiel:20:8 @But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me; they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

asv@Ezekiel:20:9 @But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

asv@Ezekiel:20:10 @So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

asv@Ezekiel:20:11 @And I gave them my statutes, and showed them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them.

asv@Ezekiel:20:12 @Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth them.

asv@Ezekiel:20:13 @But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

asv@Ezekiel:20:15 @Moreover also I sware unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

asv@Ezekiel:20:16 @because they rejected mine ordinances, and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

asv@Ezekiel:20:17 @Nevertheless mine eye spared them, and I destroyed them not, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

asv@Ezekiel:20:18 @And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

asv@Ezekiel:20:19 @I am Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;

asv@Ezekiel:20:20 @and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God.

asv@Ezekiel:20:22 @Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

asv@Ezekiel:20:23 @Moreover I sware unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

asv@Ezekiel:20:24 @because they had not executed mine ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

asv@Ezekiel:20:25 @Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances wherein they should not live;

asv@Ezekiel:20:26 @and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:20:27 @Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.

asv@Ezekiel:20:28 @For when I had brought them into the land, which I sware to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink-offerings.

asv@Ezekiel:20:30 @Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and play ye the harlot after their abominations?

asv@Ezekiel:20:31 @and when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols unto this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you;

asv@Ezekiel:20:32 @and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

asv@Ezekiel:20:33 @As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:

asv@Ezekiel:20:34 @and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;

asv@Ezekiel:20:35 @and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.

asv@Ezekiel:20:36 @Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:20:37 @And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

asv@Ezekiel:20:38 @and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:20:39 @As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me; but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.

asv@Ezekiel:20:40 @For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

asv@Ezekiel:20:41 @As a sweet savor will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

asv@Ezekiel:20:42 @And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I sware to give unto your fathers.

asv@Ezekiel:20:43 @And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

asv@Ezekiel:20:44 @And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:20:45 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:20:46 @Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

asv@Ezekiel:20:47 @and say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.

asv@Ezekiel:20:48 @And all flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.

asv@Ezekiel:21:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:21:2 @Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

asv@Ezekiel:21:3 @and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

asv@Ezekiel:21:4 @Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

asv@Ezekiel:21:5 @and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.

asv@Ezekiel:21:6 @Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.

asv@Ezekiel:21:8 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:21:12 @Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.

asv@Ezekiel:21:13 @For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:21:14 @Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers.

asv@Ezekiel:21:15 @I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.

asv@Ezekiel:21:17 @I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

asv@Ezekiel:21:19 @Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.

asv@Ezekiel:21:20 @Thou shalt appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.

asv@Ezekiel:21:21 @For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.

asv@Ezekiel:21:22 @In his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.

asv@Ezekiel:21:23 @And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths unto them; but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.

asv@Ezekiel:22:24 @Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

asv@Ezekiel:22:25 @There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof.

asv@Ezekiel:22:26 @Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

asv@Ezekiel:22:27 @Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

asv@Ezekiel:22:28 @And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah hath not spoken.

asv@Ezekiel:22:29 @The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.

asv@Ezekiel:22:30 @And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.

asv@Ezekiel:23:3 @and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.

asv@Ezekiel:23:4 @And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

asv@Ezekiel:23:5 @And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,

asv@Ezekiel:23:6 @who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

asv@Ezekiel:23:7 @And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

asv@Ezekiel:23:8 @Neither hath she left her whoredoms since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her.

asv@Ezekiel:23:9 @Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

asv@Ezekiel:23:10 @These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her.

asv@Ezekiel:23:11 @And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.

asv@Ezekiel:23:12 @She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

asv@Ezekiel:23:13 @And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

asv@Ezekiel:23:14 @And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

asv@Ezekiel:23:15 @girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.

asv@Ezekiel:23:16 @And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

asv@Ezekiel:23:17 @And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

asv@Ezekiel:23:18 @So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.

asv@Ezekiel:23:19 @Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

asv@Ezekiel:23:20 @And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

asv@Ezekiel:23:21 @Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.

asv@Ezekiel:23:22 @Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:

asv@Ezekiel:23:23 @the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.

asv@Ezekiel:23:24 @And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about; and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

asv@Ezekiel:23:25 @And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

asv@Ezekiel:23:26 @They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.

asv@Ezekiel:23:27 @Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

asv@Ezekiel:23:28 @For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated;

asv@Ezekiel:23:29 @and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

asv@Ezekiel:23:30 @These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols.

asv@Ezekiel:23:31 @Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand.

asv@Ezekiel:23:32 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

asv@Ezekiel:23:33 @Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

asv@Ezekiel:23:34 @Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:23:35 @Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

asv@Ezekiel:23:36 @Jehovah said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:23:37 @For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through the fire unto them to be devoured.

asv@Ezekiel:23:38 @Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

asv@Ezekiel:23:39 @For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

asv@Ezekiel:23:40 @And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments,

asv@Ezekiel:23:41 @and sit upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil.

asv@Ezekiel:23:42 @And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them twain, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

asv@Ezekiel:23:43 @Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they play the harlot with her, and she with them.

asv@Ezekiel:23:44 @And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women.

asv@Ezekiel:23:45 @And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

asv@Ezekiel:23:46 @For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed.

asv@Ezekiel:23:47 @And the company shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

asv@Ezekiel:23:48 @Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

asv@Ezekiel:23:49 @And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:24:3 @And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:

asv@Ezekiel:24:4 @gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

asv@Ezekiel:24:5 @Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be boiled in the midst of it.

asv@Ezekiel:24:6 @Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen upon it.

asv@Ezekiel:24:10 @Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned.

asv@Ezekiel:24:11 @Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the rust of it may be consumed.

asv@Ezekiel:24:13 @In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed thee and thou wast not cleansed, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest.

asv@Ezekiel:24:14 @I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:24:17 @Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

asv@Ezekiel:24:18 @So I spake unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

asv@Ezekiel:24:19 @And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?

asv@Ezekiel:24:21 @Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.

asv@Ezekiel:24:22 @And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

asv@Ezekiel:24:23 @And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.

asv@Ezekiel:24:25 @And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,

asv@Ezekiel:24:27 @In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:25:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:25:2 @Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them:

asv@Ezekiel:25:3 @and say unto the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:

asv@Ezekiel:25:4 @therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

asv@Ezekiel:25:5 @And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:25:6 @For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel;

asv@Ezekiel:25:7 @therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:25:8 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations;

asv@Ezekiel:25:10 @unto the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

asv@Ezekiel:25:11 @and I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:25:12 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

asv@Ezekiel:25:13 @therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

asv@Ezekiel:25:14 @And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:25:15 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;

asv@Ezekiel:25:17 @And I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

asv@Ezekiel:26:1 @And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:26:4 @And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.

asv@Ezekiel:26:8 @He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field; and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and raise up the buckler against thee.

asv@Ezekiel:26:9 @And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.

asv@Ezekiel:26:10 @By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.

asv@Ezekiel:26:11 @With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people with the sword; and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.

asv@Ezekiel:26:12 @And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses; and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the waters.

asv@Ezekiel:26:13 @And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.

asv@Ezekiel:31:3 @Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.

asv@Ezekiel:31:4 @The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field.

asv@Ezekiel:31:5 @Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.

asv@Ezekiel:31:6 @All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.

asv@Ezekiel:31:8 @The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.

asv@Ezekiel:31:10 @Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;

asv@Ezekiel:33:3 @if, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

asv@Ezekiel:33:4 @then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

asv@Ezekiel:36:3 @therefore prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;

asv@Ezekiel:36:4 @therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about;

asv@Ezekiel:36:5 @therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.

asv@Ezekiel:36:6 @Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because ye have borne the shame of the nations:

asv@Ezekiel:36:8 @But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.

asv@Ezekiel:36:9 @For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and ye shall be tilled and sown;

asv@Ezekiel:36:10 @and I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded;

asv@Ezekiel:36:11 @and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:36:12 @Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children.

asv@Ezekiel:36:13 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou land art a devourer of men, and hast been a bereaver of thy nation;

asv@Ezekiel:36:17 @Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

asv@Ezekiel:36:18 @Wherefore I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood which they had poured out upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;

asv@Ezekiel:36:19 @and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

asv@Ezekiel:36:20 @And when they came unto the nations, whither they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and are gone forth out of his land.

asv@Ezekiel:36:23 @And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

asv@Ezekiel:36:24 @For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

asv@Ezekiel:36:25 @And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

asv@Ezekiel:36:26 @A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

asv@Ezekiel:36:27 @And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep mine ordinances, and do them.

asv@Ezekiel:36:28 @And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

asv@Ezekiel:36:29 @And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you.

asv@Ezekiel:36:30 @And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

asv@Ezekiel:36:31 @Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:36:32 @Nor for your sake do I this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:36:33 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded.

asv@Ezekiel:36:34 @And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.

asv@Ezekiel:36:35 @And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.

asv@Ezekiel:36:36 @Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I, Jehovah, have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.

asv@Ezekiel:36:38 @As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:37:1 @The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

asv@Ezekiel:37:2 @And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

asv@Ezekiel:37:3 @And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest.

asv@Ezekiel:37:4 @Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:37:5 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.

asv@Ezekiel:37:6 @And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:37:7 @So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

asv@Ezekiel:37:8 @And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.

asv@Ezekiel:37:9 @Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

asv@Ezekiel:37:10 @So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

asv@Ezekiel:37:11 @Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.

asv@Ezekiel:37:12 @Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:37:13 @And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.

asv@Ezekiel:37:14 @And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:37:16 @And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

asv@Ezekiel:37:17 @and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand.

asv@Ezekiel:37:18 @And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?

asv@Ezekiel:37:19 @say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.

asv@Ezekiel:37:20 @And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

asv@Ezekiel:37:21 @And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

asv@Ezekiel:37:22 @and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;

asv@Ezekiel:37:23 @neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

asv@Ezekiel:37:24 @And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in mine ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.

asv@Ezekiel:37:25 @And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.

asv@Ezekiel:37:26 @Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

asv@Ezekiel:37:27 @My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

asv@Ezekiel:37:28 @And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

asv@Ezekiel:38:1 @And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

asv@Ezekiel:38:2 @Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

asv@Ezekiel:38:3 @and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

asv@Ezekiel:38:4 @and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;

asv@Ezekiel:38:6 @Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with thee.

asv@Ezekiel:38:7 @Be thou prepared, yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

asv@Ezekiel:38:8 @After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.

asv@Ezekiel:38:9 @And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy hordes, and many peoples with thee.

asv@Ezekiel:38:10 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device:

asv@Ezekiel:38:11 @and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;

asv@Ezekiel:38:12 @to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth.

asv@Ezekiel:38:14 @Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, shalt thou not know it?

asv@Ezekiel:39:4 @Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy hordes, and the peoples that are with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

asv@Ezekiel:39:11 @And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of them that pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop them that pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.

asv@Ezekiel:39:12 @And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.

asv@Ezekiel:39:13 @Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:39:14 @And they shall set apart men of continual employment, that shall pass through the land, and, with them that pass through, those that bury them that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

asv@Ezekiel:39:16 @And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

asv@Ezekiel:39:17 @And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Speak unto the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and drink blood.

asv@Ezekiel:39:18 @Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

asv@Ezekiel:39:20 @And ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:39:21 @And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

asv@Ezekiel:39:23 @And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword.

asv@Ezekiel:39:24 @According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions did I unto them; and I hid my face from them.

asv@Ezekiel:39:28 @And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them unto their own land; and I will leave none of them any more there;

asv@Ezekiel:40:1 @In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither.

asv@Ezekiel:40:3 @And he brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

asv@Ezekiel:40:4 @And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:40:5 @And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

asv@Ezekiel:41:2 @And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:41:3 @Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:41:4 @And he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.

asv@Ezekiel:41:5 @Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

asv@Ezekiel:41:6 @And the side-chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold therein, and not have hold in the wall of the house.

asv@Ezekiel:41:7 @And the side-chambers were broader as they encompassed the house higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber.

asv@Ezekiel:41:9 @The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house.

asv@Ezekiel:41:10 @And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.

asv@Ezekiel:41:11 @And the doors of the side-chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.

asv@Ezekiel:41:12 @And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:41:13 @So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long;

asv@Ezekiel:41:14 @also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:41:15 @And he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;

asv@Ezekiel:41:16 @the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the threshold, ceiled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),

asv@Ezekiel:41:17 @to the space above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.

asv@Ezekiel:41:18 @And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees; and a palm-tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;

asv@Ezekiel:41:19 @so that there was the face of a man toward the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm-tree on the other side. thus was it made through all the house round about:

asv@Ezekiel:41:20 @from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm-trees made: thus was the wall of the temple.

asv@Ezekiel:41:21 @As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance thereof was as the appearance of the temple.

asv@Ezekiel:41:22 @The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:41:23 @And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

asv@Ezekiel:41:24 @And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.

asv@Ezekiel:41:25 @And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there was a threshold of wood upon the face of the porch without.

asv@Ezekiel:41:26 @And there were closed windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds.

asv@Ezekiel:42:1 @Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.

asv@Ezekiel:42:2 @Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:42:3 @Over against the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.

asv@Ezekiel:42:4 @And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.

asv@Ezekiel:42:5 @Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.

asv@Ezekiel:42:6 @For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.

asv@Ezekiel:42:7 @And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:42:8 @For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.

asv@Ezekiel:42:9 @And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court.

asv@Ezekiel:42:10 @In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.

asv@Ezekiel:42:11 @And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.

asv@Ezekiel:42:12 @And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.

asv@Ezekiel:42:13 @Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.

asv@Ezekiel:42:14 @When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people.

asv@Ezekiel:42:15 @Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.

asv@Ezekiel:42:19 @He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

asv@Ezekiel:42:20 @He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

asv@Ezekiel:43:2 @And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

asv@Ezekiel:43:3 @And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

asv@Ezekiel:43:4 @And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

asv@Ezekiel:43:5 @And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

asv@Ezekiel:43:6 @And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

asv@Ezekiel:43:7 @And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

asv@Ezekiel:43:8 @in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

asv@Ezekiel:43:9 @Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

asv@Ezekiel:43:10 @Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

asv@Ezekiel:43:11 @And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

asv@Ezekiel:43:13 @And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.

asv@Ezekiel:43:14 @And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.

asv@Ezekiel:43:15 @And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.

asv@Ezekiel:43:16 @And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof.

asv@Ezekiel:43:17 @And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east.

asv@Ezekiel:43:18 @And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.

asv@Ezekiel:43:20 @And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it.

asv@Ezekiel:43:21 @Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

asv@Ezekiel:43:22 @And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.

asv@Ezekiel:43:23 @When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.

asv@Ezekiel:43:24 @And thou shalt bring them near before Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:43:25 @Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.

asv@Ezekiel:43:26 @Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

asv@Ezekiel:43:27 @And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:44:1 @Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.

asv@Ezekiel:44:2 @And Jehovah said unto me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.

asv@Ezekiel:44:3 @As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before Jehovah; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

asv@Ezekiel:44:4 @Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face.

asv@Ezekiel:44:5 @And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every egress of the sanctuary.

asv@Ezekiel:44:6 @And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,

asv@Ezekiel:44:7 @in that ye have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, to add unto all your abominations.

asv@Ezekiel:44:8 @And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

asv@Ezekiel:44:9 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the children of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:44:11 @Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.

asv@Ezekiel:44:12 @Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity.

asv@Ezekiel:44:13 @And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

asv@Ezekiel:44:14 @Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

asv@Ezekiel:44:15 @But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah:

asv@Ezekiel:44:16 @they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

asv@Ezekiel:44:17 @And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

asv@Ezekiel:44:18 @They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causeth sweat.

asv@Ezekiel:44:19 @And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that they sanctify not the people with their garments.

asv@Ezekiel:44:23 @And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

asv@Ezekiel:44:24 @And in a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to mine ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

asv@Ezekiel:44:25 @And they shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.

asv@Ezekiel:44:26 @And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.

asv@Ezekiel:44:27 @And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:44:28 @And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.

asv@Ezekiel:44:29 @They shall eat the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

asv@Ezekiel:44:30 @And the first of all the first-fruits of every thing, and every oblation of everything, of all your oblations, shall be for the priest: ye shall also give unto the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.

asv@Ezekiel:45:1 @Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about.

asv@Ezekiel:45:2 @Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred in length by five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof round about.

asv@Ezekiel:45:3 @And of this measure shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.

asv@Ezekiel:45:4 @It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, that come near to minister unto Jehovah; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.

asv@Ezekiel:45:5 @And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves, for twenty chambers.

asv@Ezekiel:45:6 @And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:45:7 @And whatsoever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.

asv@Ezekiel:45:8 @In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

asv@Ezekiel:47:12 @And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not whither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.

asv@Ezekiel:47:13 @Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.

asv@Ezekiel:47:14 @And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I sware to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

asv@Ezekiel:47:15 @And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entrance of Zedad;

asv@Ezekiel:47:16 @Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

asv@Ezekiel:47:17 @And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

asv@Ezekiel:47:18 @And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border unto the east sea shall ye measure. This is the east side.

asv@Ezekiel:47:19 @And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, unto the great sea. This is the south side southward.

asv@Ezekiel:47:20 @And the west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

asv@Ezekiel:47:21 @So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:47:22 @And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

asv@Ezekiel:47:23 @And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

asv@Ezekiel:48:1 @Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east and west,) Dan, one portion.

asv@Ezekiel:48:9 @The oblation that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

asv@Ezekiel:48:12 @And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

asv@Ezekiel:48:17 @And the city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.

asv@Ezekiel:48:18 @And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that labor in the city.

asv@Ezekiel:48:19 @And they that labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.

asv@Ezekiel:48:20 @All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation four-square, with the possession of the city.

asv@Ezekiel:48:21 @And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city; in front of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.

asv@Ezekiel:48:22 @Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.

asv@Daniel:1:1 @In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

asv@Daniel:1:2 @And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.

asv@Daniel:1:3 @And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;

asv@Daniel:1:4 @youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

asv@Daniel:1:5 @And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king.

asv@Daniel:1:6 @Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

asv@Daniel:1:7 @And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.

asv@Daniel:1:9 @Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.

asv@Daniel:1:10 @And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.

asv@Daniel:1:11 @Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

asv@Daniel:1:12 @Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

asv@Daniel:1:13 @Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

asv@Daniel:1:14 @So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

asv@Daniel:1:15 @And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king's dainties.

asv@Daniel:1:16 @So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.

asv@Daniel:1:17 @Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

asv@Daniel:1:18 @And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

asv@Daniel:1:19 @And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

asv@Daniel:1:20 @And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm.

asv@Daniel:1:21 @And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

asv@Daniel:2:1 @And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.

asv@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

asv@Daniel:2:3 @And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

asv@Daniel:2:4 @Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:2:5 @The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

asv@Daniel:2:6 @But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof.

asv@Daniel:2:7 @They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:2:8 @The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

asv@Daniel:2:9 @But if ye make not known unto me the dream, there is but one law for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.

asv@Daniel:2:10 @The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter, forasmuch as no king, lord, or ruler, hath asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean.

asv@Daniel:2:11 @And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

asv@Daniel:2:12 @For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:2:13 @So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

asv@Daniel:2:14 @Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;

asv@Daniel:2:15 @he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Wherefore is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

asv@Daniel:2:16 @And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:2:17 @Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

asv@Daniel:2:18 @that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:2:20 @Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.

asv@Daniel:2:21 @And he changeth the times and the seasons; he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding;

asv@Daniel:2:22 @he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

asv@Daniel:2:23 @I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.

asv@Daniel:2:24 @Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:2:25 @Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:2:26 @The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

asv@Daniel:2:27 @Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show unto the king;

asv@Daniel:2:28 @but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:

asv@Daniel:2:29 @as for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.

asv@Daniel:2:30 @But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart.

asv@Daniel:2:31 @Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible.

asv@Daniel:2:32 @As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

asv@Daniel:2:33 @its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

asv@Daniel:2:34 @Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces.

asv@Daniel:2:35 @Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

asv@Daniel:2:36 @This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

asv@Daniel:2:37 @Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;

asv@Daniel:2:38 @and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the head of gold.

asv@Daniel:2:39 @And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

asv@Daniel:2:40 @And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.

asv@Daniel:2:41 @And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

asv@Daniel:2:42 @And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

asv@Daniel:2:43 @And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay.

asv@Daniel:2:44 @And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

asv@Daniel:2:45 @Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

asv@Daniel:2:46 @Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him.

asv@Daniel:2:47 @The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou hast been able to reveal this secret.

asv@Daniel:2:48 @Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:2:49 @And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king.

asv@Daniel:3:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:3:2 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

asv@Daniel:3:3 @Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

asv@Daniel:3:4 @Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

asv@Daniel:3:5 @that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;

asv@Daniel:3:6 @and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

asv@Daniel:3:7 @Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

asv@Daniel:3:8 @Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.

asv@Daniel:3:9 @They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live for ever.

asv@Daniel:3:10 @Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;

asv@Daniel:3:11 @and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

asv@Daniel:3:12 @There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

asv@Daniel:3:13 @Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.

asv@Daniel:3:14 @Nebuchadnezzar answered and said unto them, Is it of purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

asv@Daniel:3:15 @Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made, well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?

asv@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.

asv@Daniel:3:17 @If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king.

asv@Daniel:3:19 @Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

asv@Daniel:3:20 @And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

asv@Daniel:3:21 @Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

asv@Daniel:3:22 @Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.

asv@Daniel:3:23 @And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

asv@Daniel:3:24 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

asv@Daniel:3:25 @He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

asv@Daniel:3:26 @Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth out of the midst of the fire.

asv@Daniel:3:27 @And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.

asv@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

asv@Daniel:3:29 @Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort.

asv@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:4:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

asv@Daniel:4:2 @It hath seemed good unto me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.

asv@Daniel:4:3 @How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

asv@Daniel:4:4 @I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

asv@Daniel:4:5 @I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

asv@Daniel:4:7 @Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

asv@Daniel:4:8 @But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, saying,

asv@Daniel:4:9 @O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

asv@Daniel:4:10 @Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great.

asv@Daniel:4:11 @The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.

asv@Daniel:4:12 @The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed from it.

asv@Daniel:4:13 @I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.

asv@Daniel:4:14 @He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.

asv@Daniel:4:15 @Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

asv@Daniel:4:16 @let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

asv@Daniel:4:17 @The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men.

asv@Daniel:4:18 @This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

asv@Daniel:4:19 @Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries.

asv@Daniel:4:20 @The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

asv@Daniel:4:21 @whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:

asv@Daniel:4:22 @it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

asv@Daniel:4:23 @And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

asv@Daniel:4:24 @this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

asv@Daniel:4:25 @that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

asv@Daniel:4:26 @And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

asv@Daniel:4:27 @Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

asv@Daniel:4:30 @The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

asv@Daniel:4:32 @and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

asv@Daniel:4:33 @The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

asv@Daniel:4:34 @And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

asv@Daniel:4:35 @And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

asv@Daniel:4:36 @At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.

asv@Daniel:4:37 @Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

asv@Daniel:5:1 @Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

asv@Daniel:5:2 @Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink therefrom.

asv@Daniel:5:3 @Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.

asv@Daniel:5:4 @They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

asv@Daniel:5:5 @In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

asv@Daniel:5:6 @Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

asv@Daniel:5:7 @The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

asv@Daniel:5:9 @Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.

asv@Daniel:5:10 @Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: the queen spake and said, O king, live forever; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.

asv@Daniel:5:11 @There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

asv@Daniel:5:12 @forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:5:13 @Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

asv@Daniel:5:14 @I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee.

asv@Daniel:5:15 @And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.

asv@Daniel:5:16 @But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.

asv@Daniel:5:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:5:18 @O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:

asv@Daniel:5:19 @and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

asv@Daniel:5:20 @But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

asv@Daniel:5:21 @and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts', and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will.

asv@Daniel:5:22 @And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this,

asv@Daniel:5:23 @but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.

asv@Daniel:5:24 @Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.

asv@Daniel:5:25 @And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

asv@Daniel:5:26 @This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end;

asv@Daniel:5:27 @TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

asv@Daniel:5:28 @PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

asv@Daniel:5:29 @Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

asv@Daniel:5:31 @And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

asv@Daniel:6:1 @It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;

asv@Daniel:6:2 @and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.

asv@Daniel:6:3 @Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

asv@Daniel:6:4 @Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

asv@Daniel:6:6 @Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

asv@Daniel:6:7 @All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

asv@Daniel:6:8 @Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

asv@Daniel:6:9 @Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.

asv@Daniel:6:10 @And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

asv@Daniel:6:11 @Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

asv@Daniel:6:12 @Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

asv@Daniel:6:13 @Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

asv@Daniel:6:14 @Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.

asv@Daniel:6:15 @Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

asv@Daniel:6:16 @Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

asv@Daniel:6:17 @And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

asv@Daniel:6:18 @Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.

asv@Daniel:6:19 @Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

asv@Daniel:6:20 @And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

asv@Daniel:6:22 @My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

asv@Daniel:6:23 @Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

asv@Daniel:6:24 @And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

asv@Daniel:6:25 @Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

asv@Daniel:6:26 @I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

asv@Daniel:6:27 @He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

asv@Daniel:6:28 @So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

asv@Daniel:7:1 @In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.

asv@Daniel:7:2 @Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea.

asv@Daniel:7:3 @And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

asv@Daniel:7:4 @The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man's heart was given to it.

asv@Daniel:7:5 @And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

asv@Daniel:7:6 @After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

asv@Daniel:7:7 @After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

asv@Daniel:7:8 @I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

asv@Daniel:7:9 @I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire.

asv@Daniel:7:10 @A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

asv@Daniel:7:11 @I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.

asv@Daniel:7:12 @And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

asv@Daniel:7:13 @I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

asv@Daniel:7:14 @And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

asv@Daniel:7:15 @As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

asv@Daniel:7:16 @I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

asv@Daniel:7:18 @But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

asv@Daniel:7:19 @Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

asv@Daniel:7:20 @and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.

asv@Daniel:7:21 @I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

asv@Daniel:7:22 @until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

asv@Daniel:7:23 @Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

asv@Daniel:7:24 @And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.

asv@Daniel:7:25 @And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

asv@Daniel:7:26 @But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

asv@Daniel:7:27 @And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

asv@Daniel:7:28 @Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

asv@Daniel:8:2 @And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.

asv@Daniel:8:3 @Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

asv@Daniel:8:4 @I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

asv@Daniel:8:5 @And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

asv@Daniel:8:6 @And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.

asv@Daniel:8:7 @And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

asv@Daniel:8:8 @And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.

asv@Daniel:8:9 @And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

asv@Daniel:8:10 @And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

asv@Daniel:8:11 @Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual burnt-offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

asv@Daniel:8:12 @And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.

asv@Daniel:8:13 @Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

asv@Daniel:8:14 @And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

asv@Daniel:8:15 @And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

asv@Daniel:8:16 @And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

asv@Daniel:8:17 @So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.

asv@Daniel:8:18 @Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.

asv@Daniel:8:19 @And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.

asv@Daniel:8:20 @The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

asv@Daniel:8:21 @And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

asv@Daniel:8:22 @And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

asv@Daniel:8:23 @And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

asv@Daniel:8:24 @And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do his pleasure; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.

asv@Daniel:8:25 @And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in their security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

asv@Daniel:8:26 @And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.

asv@Daniel:8:27 @And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.

asv@Daniel:9:3 @And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

asv@Daniel:9:4 @And I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments,

asv@Daniel:9:5 @we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thine ordinances;

asv@Daniel:9:6 @neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, that spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

asv@Daniel:9:7 @O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

asv@Daniel:9:8 @O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

asv@Daniel:9:9 @To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelled against him;

asv@Daniel:9:11 @Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside, that they should not obey thy voice: therefore hath the curse been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against him.

asv@Daniel:9:12 @And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

asv@Daniel:9:13 @As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet have we not entreated the favor of Jehovah our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in thy truth.

asv@Daniel:9:14 @Therefore hath Jehovah watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth, and we have not obeyed his voice.

asv@Daniel:9:15 @And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

asv@Daniel:9:16 @O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, let thine anger and thy wrath, I pray thee, be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are round about us.

asv@Daniel:9:17 @Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

asv@Daniel:9:18 @O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies' sake.

asv@Daniel:9:19 @O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

asv@Daniel:9:20 @And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;

asv@Daniel:9:22 @And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding.

asv@Daniel:9:23 @At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment went forth, and I am come to tell thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.

asv@Daniel:9:24 @Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

asv@Daniel:9:25 @Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times.

asv@Daniel:9:26 @And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

asv@Daniel:9:27 @And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate.

asv@Daniel:10:1 @In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

asv@Daniel:10:4 @And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,

asv@Daniel:10:5 @I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz:

asv@Daniel:10:6 @his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like unto burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

asv@Daniel:10:7 @And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.

asv@Daniel:10:8 @So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

asv@Daniel:10:9 @Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

asv@Daniel:10:10 @And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

asv@Daniel:10:11 @And he said unto me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

asv@Daniel:10:12 @Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard: and I am come for thy words' sake.

asv@Daniel:10:13 @But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

asv@Daniel:10:14 @Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days:

asv@Daniel:10:15 @and when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.

asv@Daniel:10:16 @And, behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I retain no strength.

asv@Daniel:10:18 @Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.

asv@Daniel:10:19 @And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spake unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

asv@Daniel:10:20 @Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.

asv@Daniel:10:21 @But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince.

asv@Daniel:11:1 @And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

asv@Daniel:11:2 @And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

asv@Daniel:11:3 @And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

asv@Daniel:11:4 @And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.

asv@Daniel:11:5 @And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

asv@Daniel:11:6 @And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

asv@Daniel:11:7 @But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.

asv@Daniel:11:8 @And also their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.

asv@Daniel:11:9 @And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

asv@Daniel:11:10 @And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.

asv@Daniel:11:11 @And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.

asv@Daniel:11:12 @And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

asv@Daniel:11:13 @And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.

asv@Daniel:11:14 @And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

asv@Daniel:11:15 @So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand.

asv@Daniel:11:16 @But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.

asv@Daniel:11:17 @And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him.

asv@Daniel:11:18 @After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.

asv@Daniel:11:19 @Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

asv@Daniel:11:20 @Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

asv@Daniel:11:21 @And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

asv@Daniel:11:22 @And the overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

asv@Daniel:11:23 @And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.

asv@Daniel:11:24 @In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.

asv@Daniel:11:25 @And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.

asv@Daniel:11:26 @Yea, they that eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain.

asv@Daniel:11:27 @And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

asv@Daniel:11:28 @Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.

asv@Daniel:11:29 @At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.

asv@Daniel:11:30 @For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.

asv@Daniel:11:31 @And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate.

asv@Daniel:11:32 @And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

asv@Daniel:11:33 @And they that are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.

asv@Daniel:11:35 @And some of them that are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

asv@Daniel:11:36 @And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

asv@Daniel:11:38 @But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

asv@Daniel:11:39 @And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whosoever acknowledgeth him he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

asv@Daniel:11:40 @And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.

asv@Daniel:11:41 @He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

asv@Daniel:11:42 @He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

asv@Daniel:11:43 @But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

asv@Daniel:11:44 @But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.

asv@Daniel:11:45 @And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

asv@Daniel:12:1 @And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

asv@Daniel:12:2 @And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

asv@Daniel:12:3 @And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

asv@Daniel:12:4 @But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

asv@Daniel:12:5 @Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.

asv@Daniel:12:6 @And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

asv@Daniel:12:7 @And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

asv@Daniel:12:8 @And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?

asv@Daniel:12:9 @And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

asv@Daniel:12:10 @Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.

asv@Daniel:12:11 @And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

asv@Daniel:12:12 @Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

asv@Daniel:12:13 @But go thou thy way till the end be; for thou shalt rest, and shalt stand in thy lot, at the end of the days.

asv@Hosea:1:1 @The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
