vw@Isaiah:1:1 @ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

vw@Isaiah:1:2 @ Give heed, O heavens, and hear, O earth! For Jehovah has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against Me.

vw@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not discerned.

vw@Isaiah:1:4 @ Woe, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who corrupt! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have scorned the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged backward.

vw@Isaiah:1:5 @ Why will you be stricken any more? Will you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint.

vw@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; only wounds and bruises and fresh stripes; they have not been closed nor bound up, nor has it been softened with oil.

vw@Isaiah:1:8 @ And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

vw@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, you rulers of Sodom. Give heed to the Law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.

vw@Isaiah:1:11 @ What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of well-fed cattle; nor do I delight in the blood of bulls, of lambs, or he goats.

vw@Isaiah:1:13 @ Bring no more vain sacrifices; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies, and the wicked festivals.

vw@Isaiah:1:14 @ My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

vw@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My eyes; stop doing evil.

vw@Isaiah:1:17 @ Learn to do good, seek justice, set straight the oppressor, judge for the orphan, plead for the widow.

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

vw@Isaiah:1:19 @ If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

vw@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:1:21 @ Oh how the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it; but now, murderers!

vw@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your rulers are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, and pursues rewards. They do not judge for the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

vw@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah! I will be eased of My adversaries, and avenge Myself of My enemies.

vw@Isaiah:1:26 @ And I will return your judges as at the first; and your advisers, as at the beginning; then you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.

vw@Isaiah:1:28 @ And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together. And those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

vw@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they shall be ashamed of the mighty trees which you desired; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that you have chosen.

vw@Isaiah:1:31 @ And the strong shall be as tinder, and the work as a spark; and they both shall burn together; and no one shall quench them.

vw@Isaiah:2:1 @ The Word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

vw@Isaiah:2:2 @ And it shall come to pass in the end times, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

vw@Isaiah:2:3 @ And many people shall go and say, Come and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion the Law shall go forth, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:2:4 @ And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore.

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

vw@Isaiah:2:6 @ For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been consecrated from the east, and are fortunetellers like the Philistines, and they clap hands in worship with children of foreigners.

vw@Isaiah:2:7 @ Their land is also filled with silver and gold. There is no end to their treasures. And their land is full of horses, neither is there any end to their chariots.

vw@Isaiah:2:8 @ Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

vw@Isaiah:2:9 @ People prostrate themselves, men bow low; therefore You do not forgive them.

vw@Isaiah:2:10 @ Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty.

vw@Isaiah:2:11 @ The lofty eyes of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down; but Jehovah, He alone, shall be exalted in that day.

vw@Isaiah:2:12 @ For the day of Jehovah of Hosts shall come upon all the proud and lofty ones, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;

vw@Isaiah:2:13 @ and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan;

vw@Isaiah:2:14 @ and upon all the high mountains; and upon all the lifted up hills;

vw@Isaiah:2:16 @ and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all desirable craft.

vw@Isaiah:2:17 @ And the pride of man shall be bowed down; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

vw@Isaiah:2:18 @ And the idols shall completely pass away.

vw@Isaiah:2:19 @ And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, for the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises up to make the earth tremble.

vw@Isaiah:2:20 @ In that day a man shall throw his idols of silver and gold, which they made each man to bow down to, to the moles and to the bats;

vw@Isaiah:2:21 @ to go into the crevices of the rocks, and into the clefts of the cliffs, from the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises up to make the earth tremble.

vw@Isaiah:3:1 @ For behold, the Lord Jehovah of Hosts takes away the support and the staff from Jerusalem and from Judah; the whole support of bread and the whole support of water;

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

vw@Isaiah:3:3 @ the commander of fifty and the honorable man; the counselor and the skilled magician; and the expert enchanter.

vw@Isaiah:3:4 @ And I will give youth to be their rulers, and wanton children shall rule over them.

vw@Isaiah:3:5 @ And the people shall be oppressed, man against man, every man by his neighbor. The youth will be insolent against the elder, and the dishonorable against the honorable.

vw@Isaiah:3:6 @ When a man shall take hold of his brother, in his father’s house, saying, You have clothing! Come, you be our ruler; let this ruin be under your power.

vw@Isaiah:3:7 @ In that day he shall lift himself up and say, I cannot be one who binds up; for there is neither bread nor clothing in my house; do not make me a ruler of the people.

vw@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their tongue and their deeds are rebellion toward Jehovah and against the eyes of His glory.

vw@Isaiah:3:9 @ The expression of their faces witnesses against them; they have declared their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have recompensed evil upon themselves.

vw@Isaiah:3:10 @ Say to the righteous that it is well; for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings.

vw@Isaiah:3:11 @ Woe to the wicked! For the evil, the recompense of his hand, shall be done unto him.

vw@Isaiah:3:12 @ As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, those leading you cause you to go astray, and they swallow the way of your paths.

vw@Isaiah:3:13 @ Jehovah stands up to plead His case, and stands up to judge the peoples.

vw@Isaiah:3:14 @ Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and their rulers. For you have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

vw@Isaiah:3:15 @ What do you mean that you crush My people, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:3:16 @ Furthermore Jehovah says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched out necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and make a tinkling with their feet;

vw@Isaiah:3:17 @ therefore Jehovah will attach scabs to the top of the head of the daughters of Zion; and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.

vw@Isaiah:3:18 @ In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and their headbands, and their crescents of the moon,

vw@Isaiah:3:19 @ the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;

vw@Isaiah:3:20 @ the turbans, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets;

vw@Isaiah:3:21 @ the rings and nose jewels;

vw@Isaiah:3:22 @ the festal apparel and the outer garments; and the mantles, and the purses;

vw@Isaiah:3:23 @ the mirrors and the fine linen; and the turbans and the veils.

vw@Isaiah:3:24 @ And it shall be, instead of a smell of perfume, there shall be an odor of decay. And instead of a belt, a rope. And instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

vw@Isaiah:3:25 @ Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

vw@Isaiah:3:26 @ And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall sit desolate on the ground.

vw@Isaiah:4:2 @ In that day shall the Branch of Jehovah be beautiful and honorable, and the fruit of the earth excellent and glorious for those who have escaped from Israel.

vw@Isaiah:4:3 @ And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem;

vw@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 its midst by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

vw@Isaiah:4:5 @ And Jehovah will create over all the foundation 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 a canopy.

vw@Isaiah:4:6 @ And there shall be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from storm and rain.

vw@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield rotten grapes?

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

vw@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold an outcry!

vw@Isaiah:5:8 @ Woe to those who join house to house, laying field to field, until there is no more space for you to dwell alone in the midst of the earth!

vw@Isaiah:5:10 @ Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah.

vw@Isaiah:5:11 @ Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to pursue strong drink; remaining until the evening while wine inflames them!

vw@Isaiah:5:12 @ And the lute, and the harp, the tambourine, and pipe, and wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, neither do they give attention to the work of His hands.

vw@Isaiah:5:13 @ For this My people have gone into captivity without knowledge, and their honorable men into famine, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

vw@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their tumult, and he who exults, shall go down into it.

vw@Isaiah:5:15 @ And people are prostrated, and great men are brought low and the eyes of the haughty are brought low.

vw@Isaiah:5:16 @ But Jehovah of Hosts is exalted in justice, and the Mighty God, the Holy One, is sanctified in righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:5:17 @ Then shall the lambs feed in their pastures, and the waste places of the fat ones shall sojourners eat.

vw@Isaiah:5:19 @ who say, Let Him hurry and hasten His work, so that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know it!

vw@Isaiah:5:21 @ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and understanding in their own sight!

vw@Isaiah:5:23 @ who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous!

vw@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have cast away the Law of Jehovah of Hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people, and He has stretched out His hand against them, and has stricken them; and the hills trembled, and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:5:26 @ And He will lift up a banner to distant nations, and will whistle to them from the ends of the earth; and behold, they shall come with speed, swiftly.

vw@Isaiah:5:27 @ No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the waistband of their loins be loosened, nor the thong of their sandals be broken;

vw@Isaiah:5:28 @ whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hooves seem like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.

vw@Isaiah:5:29 @ Their roaring shall be like a lion; they shall roar like young lions; and they shall roar and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and no one shall deliver it.

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

vw@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year that King Uzziah died I then saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

vw@Isaiah:6:2 @ Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

vw@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory!

vw@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the doorposts shook at the voice of the one who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

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

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

vw@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.

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

vw@Isaiah:6:11 @ Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities have been smashed to ruins without inhabitant, and the houses without a man, and the land is left devastated,

vw@Isaiah:6:12 @ and until Jehovah has sent the men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

vw@Isaiah:6:13 @ But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak when it is cut down, whose stump remains. The holy seed is its stump.

vw@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 make war against it, but could not prevail against it.

vw@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told to the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are swayed by the wind.

vw@Isaiah:7:3 @ Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

vw@Isaiah:7:4 @ And say to him, Take care and be quiet. Do not fear, nor be softhearted because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin from Syria, and of the son of Remaliah;

vw@Isaiah:7:5 @ because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted against you, saying,

vw@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and break through the wall for ourselves, and set a king in the midst of it, the son of Tabeel.

vw@Isaiah:7:7 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass.

vw@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken so that it shall not be a people.

vw@Isaiah:7:9 @ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.

vw@Isaiah:7:10 @ Furthermore Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

vw@Isaiah:7:11 @ Ask for a sign from Jehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

vw@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.

vw@Isaiah:7:15 @ Butter and honey He shall eat until He knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.

vw@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you loathe shall be forsaken by both its kings.

vw@Isaiah:7:17 @ Jehovah shall bring upon you, and upon your people, and upon your father’s house, days that have not come since the days that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day that Jehovah shall whistle for the fly at the ends of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall come, and all of them shall rest in the steep valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, and on all the pastures.

vw@Isaiah:7:20 @ In the same day the Lord shall shave with a hired razor, with those beyond the River, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet, and it shall also snatch away the beard.

vw@Isaiah:7:22 @ so it will be that, from the abundance of milk which they shall give, that He shall eat butter; for everyone who is left in the land shall eat butter and honey.

vw@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, worth a thousand pieces of silver, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

vw@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and with bows, men shall come there, because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

vw@Isaiah:7:25 @ And all hills which were hoed with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be a place to turn the ox loose, and for sheep to trample.

vw@Isaiah:8:1 @ And Jehovah said to me, Take a large scroll and write in it with a man’s pen: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. (which means, Hurry to the plunder! Make haste to the spoils!)

vw@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I took to myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

vw@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Jehovah said to me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

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

vw@Isaiah:8:6 @ Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

vw@Isaiah:8:7 @ therefore behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the River, strong and abundant, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels and go over all his banks.

vw@Isaiah:8:8 @ And he shall pass through Judah. He shall overflow and go over; he shall reach to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.

vw@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel and make plans, but they will be frustrated. Speak a word, but it shall not stand; for the Mighty God is with us.

vw@Isaiah:8:11 @ For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and warned me against walking in the way of this people, saying,

vw@Isaiah:8:12 @ Do not say, A conspiracy! to everything which this people calls, A conspiracy! And do not be afraid with their fear, nor be terrified.

vw@Isaiah:8:14 @ And He shall be a sanctuary for you; but a stone of stumbling, and a rock of falling to both the houses of Israel; and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

vw@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, seal the Law among My disciples.

vw@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will watch for Him.

vw@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of Hosts who dwells in Mount Zion.

vw@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they say to you, Consult the sorcerers and fortunetellers who peep and mutter; should not a people inquire of their God, rather than the living of the dead?

vw@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.

vw@Isaiah:8:21 @ And they shall pass through it, hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, that they shall be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

vw@Isaiah:8:22 @ And they shall look to the land; and behold, trouble and darkness and gloom of anguish! And they shall be thrust into darkness.

vw@Isaiah:9:1 @ Nevertheless the gloom shall not be upon her who was in distress, as in the former time when He brought contempt upon the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali. For afterwards He will glorify the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

vw@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shined.

vw@Isaiah:9:3 @ You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy. They rejoice before You according to the joy at harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoils.

vw@Isaiah:9:4 @ For You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his taskmaster, as in the day of Midian.

vw@Isaiah:9:5 @ For every trembling boot of the warrior, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be fuel for burning in the fire.

vw@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, Counselor, The Strong and Mighty God, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace.

vw@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of His government and peace upon the throne of David there will be no end; and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.

vw@Isaiah:9:8 @ The Lord sent a Word to Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.

vw@Isaiah:9:9 @ And all the people shall know; Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and insolence of heart,

vw@Isaiah:9:10 @ The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will use cedars instead.

vw@Isaiah:9:11 @ Therefore Jehovah shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies on;

vw@Isaiah:9:12 @ the Syrians in front 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.

vw@Isaiah:9:13 @ For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, nor do they seek Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:9:14 @ Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and bulrush, in one day.

vw@Isaiah:9:15 @ The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

vw@Isaiah:9:16 @ For the leaders of this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are swallowed up.

vw@Isaiah:9:17 @ Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, nor shall He have mercy on their orphans and widows; for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolishness. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:9:18 @ For wickedness burns like the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall billow up in a column of smoke.

vw@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire; no man shall have compassion on his brother.

vw@Isaiah:9:20 @ And he shall cut off on the right hand and be hungry; and he shall devour on the left, and they shall not be satisfied. Each man shall eat the flesh of his own arm;

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

vw@Isaiah:10:2 @ to thrust aside the needy from judgment, and to rob the right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may plunder the orphans!

vw@Isaiah:10:3 @ And what will you do in the day of judgment, and in destruction when it comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?

vw@Isaiah:10:4 @ Without Me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. In all this His hand is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:10:5 @ Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger! And the staff in their hand is My indignation.

vw@Isaiah:10:6 @ I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will command him to draw out the plunder, and to seize the spoils, and to trample them like the mud of the streets.

vw@Isaiah:10:10 @ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria;

vw@Isaiah:10:12 @ And it shall come to pass, when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, I will punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his haughty looks.

vw@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he says, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am discerning. And I have removed the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.

vw@Isaiah:10:14 @ And my hand has found, as a nest, the riches of the people; and as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; and there was no one who moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

vw@Isaiah:10:15 @ Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Shall the saw magnify itself against him who moves it? As if the rod could swing itself at those who lift it up! As if a staff could rise up, as though it were not wood!

vw@Isaiah:10:16 @ Therefore the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones; and under his glory He shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

vw@Isaiah:10:17 @ And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and His Holy One as a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.

vw@Isaiah:10:18 @ And it shall burn up the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick one faints.

vw@Isaiah:10:19 @ And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that a child might write them.

vw@Isaiah:10:20 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob, shall never again lean on him who struck them; but will truly lean on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:10:21 @ The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Strong and Mighty God.

vw@Isaiah:10:22 @ For though Your people Israel are like the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return; the completion which is decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:10:23 @ For the Lord Jehovah of Hosts shall make a full end, as ordained, in the midst of all the land.

vw@Isaiah:10:24 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, O my people who dwell in Zion, do not fear Assyria. He shall strike you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, in the way of Egypt.

vw@Isaiah:16:8 @ For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have beat down its choice plants which have come to Jazer, and wandered in the wilderness; her branches are stretched out, they have crossed over the sea.

vw@Isaiah:16:9 @ Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah with the weeping of Jazer. I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; for the shouting for your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen short.

vw@Isaiah:16:10 @ Gladness and joy are removed out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there is no singing and no shouting. The treader shall tread out no wine in the presses; I have made their shouting to cease.

vw@Isaiah:18:2 @ which sends ambassadors by sea, even in vessels of reed on the waters, saying, Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people to be feared until now and onward; a mighty nation, treading underfoot; whose land the rivers have divided!

vw@Isaiah:18:3 @ All you inhabitants of the world and you dwelling on the earth, you see when he lifts up a banner on the mountains. And you hear when he blows the shofar.

vw@Isaiah:18:4 @ For thus Jehovah said to me, I will take My rest, and I will look on from My dwelling place, like radiant heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

vw@Isaiah:18:5 @ For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

vw@Isaiah:18:6 @ They shall be left together to the birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the birds shall summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter on them.

vw@Isaiah:19:7 @ Bare places by the Nile, by the mouth of the Nile; and everything sown by the Nile shall dry up, be driven away, and be no more.

vw@Isaiah:19:8 @ The fishermen also shall mourn, and all who drop a hook into the Nile shall lament, and those who spread nets on the waters shall grow feeble.

vw@Isaiah:19:11 @ Surely the rulers of Zoan are fools; the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

vw@Isaiah:22:24 @ And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the offshoots, all insignificant vessels, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of jars.

vw@Isaiah:22:25 @ In that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, the peg that is fastened in the firm place shall be removed, and be cut down and fall. And the burden that was on it shall be cut off; for Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:23:1 @ The burden against Tyre: Howl, 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.

vw@Isaiah:23:2 @ Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, merchants of Sidon, who pass over the sea. They have filled you.

vw@Isaiah:23:3 @ And by great waters, the seed of Sihor and the harvest of the River was her revenue; and she is a marketplace for the nations.

vw@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed nor brought forth. I have not nourished young men nor raised up virgins.

vw@Isaiah:23:5 @ As the report comes to Egypt, so they shall be writhing in pain at the report of Tyre.

vw@Isaiah:23:6 @ Pass over to Tarshish. Howl, you inhabitants of the coast!

vw@Isaiah:23:8 @ Who has advised this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the honorable of the earth?

vw@Isaiah:23:9 @ Jehovah of Hosts has counseled it, to dishonor the pride of all glory and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:23:10 @ Pass through your land like a river, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength.

vw@Isaiah:23:11 @ He stretched out His hand over the sea; He shook the kingdoms. Jehovah has given a command against the merchant city, to destroy its strongholds.

vw@Isaiah:23:12 @ And He said, You shall rejoice no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim; there also you shall have no rest.

vw@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold the land of the Chaldeans, this people which did not exist. Assyria founded it for those who live in the desert. They set up their siege-towers; they stripped its palaces; they made it a ruin.

vw@Isaiah:23:15 @ And in that day Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it shall be for Tyre as the song of a harlot.

vw@Isaiah:23:16 @ Take a harp, go about the city, O harlot who has been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs so that you may be remembered.

vw@Isaiah:23:17 @ And it shall be after the end of seventy years that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:24:1 @ Behold, Jehovah empties the earth and makes it bare, and distorts its face, and scatters its inhabitants.

vw@Isaiah:24:2 @ And as it is with the people, so it shall be with the priest; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the maid, so it is with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

vw@Isaiah:24:3 @ The land shall be completely emptied, and utterly plundered; for Jehovah has spoken this Word.

vw@Isaiah:24:4 @ The earth mourns and fades away; the world droops and fades away; the haughty people of the earth grow feeble.

vw@Isaiah:24:5 @ The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and have broken the perpetual covenant.

vw@Isaiah:24:6 @ Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

vw@Isaiah:24:7 @ The new wine mourns, the vine droops, all the merry-hearted sigh.

vw@Isaiah:24:8 @ The mirth of the tambourines ceases; the tumult of the jubilant ends; the joy of the harp ceases.

vw@Isaiah:24:9 @ They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

vw@Isaiah:24:10 @ The city of emptiness is broken down; every house is shut up so that no one may come in.

vw@Isaiah:24:11 @ There is a cry for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land has gone.

vw@Isaiah:24:12 @ Desolation is left in the city, and the gate is battered and destroyed.

vw@Isaiah:24:13 @ For so it is in the midst of the land among the people. It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, and as gleanings of grapes when the vintage has been finished.

vw@Isaiah:24:14 @ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

vw@Isaiah:24:15 @ Therefore glorify Jehovah in the light of the fire, the name of the Lord Jehovah of Israel from the seashores.

vw@Isaiah:24:16 @ From the ends of the earth we have heard songs, glory to the righteous. But I said, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me! Deceivers deceive, even with treachery. Deceivers deceive!

vw@Isaiah:24:17 @ Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:24:18 @ And it shall be that he who flees from the sound of terror shall fall into the pit. And he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For the windows from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake.

vw@Isaiah:24:19 @ The earth has been badly broken! The earth is split open and cracked through! The earth has shaken greatly and is tottering!

vw@Isaiah:24:20 @ Like a drunkard the earth is staggering back and forth! And it sways to and fro like a hut! Its transgressions have been heavy upon it; and it shall fall and not rise again.

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

vw@Isaiah:24:22 @ And they shall be gathered, as prisoners are gathered in a dungeon. And they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be visited.

vw@Isaiah:24:23 @ Then the moon shall be abashed, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign on Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and before His elders, in splendor.

vw@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore the strong people glorify You; the city of the ruthless nations shall fear You.

vw@Isaiah:25:4 @ For You are a refuge to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the ruthless ones is like a storm against the wall.

vw@Isaiah:25:5 @ You shall subdue the roaring of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud. The shouting of the terrible ones shall be pruned away.

vw@Isaiah:25:6 @ And on this mountain Jehovah of Hosts will make a feast of fatness for all the people, a feast of the dregs of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of the dregs of refined wine.

vw@Isaiah:25:7 @ And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering wrapped over all people, and the veil that is woven over all nations.

vw@Isaiah:25:8 @ He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He will take away from all the earth the rebuke of His people. For Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:25:10 @ For the hand of Jehovah shall rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trampled under Him, even as straw is trampled in the water of a dung pit.

vw@Isaiah:25:11 @ And He shall spread out His hands in their midst, as he who swims strokes to swim. And He will bring down their pride along with the deceit of their hands.

vw@Isaiah:25:12 @ And the fortress of the high fort of your walls He will lay low, bring down to the ground, to the dust.

vw@Isaiah:26:1 @ In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; He sets up salvation as our walls and bulwarks.

vw@Isaiah:26:2 @ Open the gates, that the righteous nation, keeping faithfulness, may enter in.

vw@Isaiah:26:5 @ For He brings down those who dwell on high; He lays low the lofty city; He lays it low, even to the ground; He brings it down to the dust.

vw@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall trample it, the feet of the poor and the steps of the weak.

vw@Isaiah:26:7 @ The way of the just is equity; O Upright One, You weigh the path of the just.

vw@Isaiah:26:8 @ Yea, in the way of Your judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for You; for the desire of our soul is Your name and the remembrance of You.

vw@Isaiah:26:9 @ With my soul I have desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

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

vw@Isaiah:26:11 @ Jehovah, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see and be ashamed for their envy toward the people. Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

vw@Isaiah:26:13 @ O Jehovah our God, masters besides You have had the rule over us; but by You only will we make mention of Your name.

vw@Isaiah:26:14 @ Those who are dead do not live; spirits of the dead do not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.

vw@Isaiah:26:15 @ You have increased the nation, O Jehovah, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have extended it to the ends of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:26:16 @ Jehovah, in trouble they have visited You; they have poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

vw@Isaiah:26:17 @ As a woman with child draws near to giving birth, she writhes and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in Your sight, O Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:26:18 @ We have conceived; we have writhed in pain; but we have given birth (as it were) to wind. We have not produced any salvation in the earth; nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen out in birth.

vw@Isaiah:26:19 @ Your dead ones shall live, together with My dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is as the dew of the light, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

vw@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide (as it were) for a few moments, until the indignation has passed.

vw@Isaiah:26:21 @ For behold, Jehovah comes 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.

vw@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day Jehovah with His great and fierce and strong sword shall punish Leviathan, the fleeing serpent; Leviathan, that twisted serpent; and He shall kill the dragon in the sea.

vw@Isaiah:27:4 @ Fury is not in Me; who would set the briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would march through them; I would burn them together.

vw@Isaiah:27:5 @ Or let them take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.

vw@Isaiah:27:6 @ He shall cause those who come from Jacob to take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

vw@Isaiah:27:7 @ Has He struck him, as He struck those who struck Him? Is He slain according to the slaughter of those slain by Him?

vw@Isaiah:27:8 @ In driving and sending her away, you contend with her. He removes His fierce wind, in the day of the east wind.

vw@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, the groves and idols shall not stand.

vw@Isaiah:27:10 @ Yet the fortified city shall be desolate, and the dwelling forsaken and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down and finish off its branches.

vw@Isaiah:27:11 @ When its branches are dried up, they shall be broken off; the women come and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, and He who formed them will show them no favor.

vw@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall be in that day that Jehovah will thresh from the flowing stream to the river of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O children of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:27:13 @ And it shall be in that day that the great shofar shall be blown, and those about to perish in the land of Assyria shall come, along with the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall bow down to Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:28:1 @ Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower which is at the head of the lush valleys of those who are overcome with wine!

vw@Isaiah:28:2 @ Behold, the Lord is a mighty and strong one, like a hailstorm, a destroying storm; like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, He casts down to the earth with the hand.

vw@Isaiah:28:3 @ The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trampled under foot;

vw@Isaiah:28:4 @ and the glorious beauty at the head of the lush valley shall be a fading flower, and as the first-ripe fruit before the summer; which, the one looking at it swallows up while it is yet in his hand.

vw@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day Jehovah of Hosts shall be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty to the rest of His people,

vw@Isaiah:28:6 @ and for a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

vw@Isaiah:28:7 @ But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink have gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are swallowed up by wine; they have gone astray through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

vw@Isaiah:28:9 @ To whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand the message? Those weaned from the milk and removed from the breasts.

vw@Isaiah:28:10 @ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little;

vw@Isaiah:28:11 @ for with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people.

vw@Isaiah:28:12 @ To whom He said, This is the rest; cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. Yet they were not willing to hear.

vw@Isaiah:28:13 @ But the Word of Jehovah was to them, Precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and caught.

vw@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, you scornful men who rule this people in Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol; when the overflowing scourge shall have gone and passed through, it shall not come upon us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.

vw@Isaiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I have founded in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who trusts in It shall not be anxious.

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

vw@Isaiah:28:18 @ And your covenant with death shall be covered over, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overwhelming scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trampled down by it.

vw@Isaiah:28:19 @ From the time that it goes out it shall take you; for morning by morning it shall pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be a terror just to understand the report.

vw@Isaiah:28:20 @ For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the cover is too narrow to wrap oneself in it.

vw@Isaiah:28:21 @ For Jehovah shall rise up as at Mount Perazim; He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon, so that He may do His deeds, His strange deeds; and bring to pass His works, His unusual works.

vw@Isaiah:28:22 @ So then do not be mockers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of Hosts that an annihilation is decreed upon the whole earth.

vw@Isaiah:28:24 @ Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he loosen and harrow his ground?

vw@Isaiah:28:25 @ When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter the black cumin and sprinkle the cumin, and plant the wheat in rows and mark off the barley and spelt in their boundaries?

vw@Isaiah:28:27 @ For the black cumin is not threshed with a threshing instrument, nor is a cart wheel turned on cumin; but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick and the cumin with a rod.

vw@Isaiah:29:1 @ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Snatch away year after year; let the feasts come around.

vw@Isaiah:29:2 @ Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be to me as Ariel.

vw@Isaiah:29:4 @ And you shall be brought down; you shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be like a medium out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

vw@Isaiah:29:5 @ And the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away; yea, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

vw@Isaiah:29:6 @ You shall be visited by Jehovah of Hosts with thunder, and with earthquake and loud sounds, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

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

vw@Isaiah:29:8 @ It shall even be as when a hungry one dreams, and behold, he eats, but he awakes and his soul is still empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks, but he awakes, and behold, he is still faint and his soul craves. So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations who fight against mount Zion.

vw@Isaiah:29:9 @ Wait and wonder! Smear your eyes shut, blind! They have become drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

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

vw@Isaiah:29:11 @ And the vision of all has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one who is literate saying, Please read this; and he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.

vw@Isaiah:29:12 @ And the book is delivered to him who is not literate, saying, Please read this; and he says, I am not literate.

vw@Isaiah:29:13 @ Therefore Jehovah said, Whereas this people draw near with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men;

vw@Isaiah:29:14 @ therefore, behold, I will again do among this people something extraordinary and wonderful. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hidden.

vw@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe to those who are profound to hide their counsel from Jehovah! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? And, Who knows us?

vw@Isaiah:29:16 @ O your perversity! Shall the former be esteemed as the potter’s clay; for shall the product say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He has had no understanding?

vw@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.

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

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

vw@Isaiah:29:20 @ For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is destroyed, and all who look after iniquity are cut off;

vw@Isaiah:29:21 @ those who induce a man to sin by a word, and lay a snare for the judge in the gate, and turn aside the just for vanity.

vw@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now become pale.

vw@Isaiah:29:23 @ But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:30:1 @ Woe to the rebellious children, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of Me; and who pour out drink offerings, but not of My Spirit; that they sweep away sin after sin;

vw@Isaiah:30:2 @ who set out to go down to Egypt and have not asked at My mouth, to strengthen themselves in the refuge of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

vw@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore the refuge of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your reproach.

vw@Isaiah:30:5 @ They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them, nor be a help nor gain, but a shame and also a reproach.

vw@Isaiah:30:6 @ The burden concerning the beasts of the south. Into the land of trouble and anguish, from where the lioness and the lion come; the viper, and the fiery flying serpent; they carry their riches on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them.

vw@Isaiah:30:7 @ For Egypt helps in vain, and unto emptiness. Therefore I have proclaimed concerning this, Their arrogance will be to sit still.

vw@Isaiah:30:8 @ Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and note it in a book, so that it may be for time to come forever and ever,

vw@Isaiah:30:9 @ that this is a rebellious people, lying children; children who will not hear the Law of Jehovah;

vw@Isaiah:30:10 @ who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deception;

vw@Isaiah:30:11 @ turn away from the path, thrust aside from the way, desist from the Holy One of Israel from before us.

vw@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have despised this Word, and trust in oppression and perversity, and lean on them;

vw@Isaiah:30:13 @ therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose crashing comes suddenly in an instant.

vw@Isaiah:30:14 @ And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces. He shall not spare, so that there shall not be found in the fragments of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.

vw@Isaiah:30:15 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; and in quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you were not willing.

vw@Isaiah:30:16 @ But you said, No; for we will flee on horses. Therefore you shall flee. And you said, We will ride on the swift; therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

vw@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five you shall flee, until you are left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as a sign on a hill.

vw@Isaiah:30:18 @ And so Jehovah waits to be gracious to you. And therefore He is exalted, that He may have mercy on you; for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for Him.

vw@Isaiah:30:19 @ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you.

vw@Isaiah:30:20 @ And though Jehovah gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers.

vw@Isaiah:30:21 @ And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.

vw@Isaiah:30:22 @ You shall also defile the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away like a menstruous cloth. You shall say to them, Get away!

vw@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then He shall give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground. And the bread of the produce of the earth also shall be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures.

vw@Isaiah:30:24 @ Also the oxen and the young asses that plow the ground shall eat cured fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

vw@Isaiah:30:25 @ And there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers, streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

vw@Isaiah:30:26 @ And 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 binds up the breach of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.

vw@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from afar, burning with His anger, and the burden of it is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue like a devouring fire.

vw@Isaiah:30:28 @ And like an overflowing stream, His breath shall reach up to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity. And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to go astray.

vw@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is consecrated; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come into the mountain of Jehovah, to the Mighty One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:30:30 @ And Jehovah shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, and shall cause to be seen the bringing down of His arm, with raging anger and flame of a devouring fire, with driving storm, cloudburst and hailstones.

vw@Isaiah:30:31 @ For through the voice of Jehovah, Assyria shall be beaten down, as struck with a rod.

vw@Isaiah:30:32 @ And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambourines and harps. In war with brandishing He will engage the battle.

vw@Isaiah:30:33 @ For Tophet was arranged in order of old; yea, for the king it is prepared. He has made it deep and large. He makes a fire with much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it like a torrent of brimstone.

vw@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong; but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Jehovah!

vw@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 evildoers and against the help of those who work iniquity.

vw@Isaiah:31:3 @ Now Egypt is a man, and not the Mighty God; and their horses are flesh, and not Spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch out His hand, both he who helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall down, and they shall all be finished together.

vw@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus has Jehovah spoken to me: As the lion roars, and the young lion over his prey when a multitude of shepherds are summoned against him (he will not be afraid of their voice, nor fret himself because of their noise), so Jehovah of Hosts shall come down to fight for Mount Zion, and for its hill.

vw@Isaiah:31:6 @ Return to Him, against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

vw@Isaiah:31:8 @ Then Assyria shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. For he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labor.

vw@Isaiah:31:9 @ And he shall pass over to his stronghold for fear, and his rulers shall be afraid of the banner, says Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:32:2 @ And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a huge rock in a weary land.

vw@Isaiah:32:3 @ And the eyes of those who see shall not be dim, and the ears of those who hear shall listen.

vw@Isaiah:32:4 @ And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of those who stutter shall be ready to speak plainly.

vw@Isaiah:32:5 @ The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the miser said to be bountiful.

vw@Isaiah:32:6 @ For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity; to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to be lacking.

vw@Isaiah:32:7 @ Also the implements of the scoundrel are evil; he devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice.

vw@Isaiah:32:8 @ But the noble devises noble things; and by noble things he shall stand.

vw@Isaiah:32:10 @ Many days and years you shall be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

vw@Isaiah:32:12 @ They shall mourn for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

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

vw@Isaiah:32:14 @ because the palaces shall be abandoned, the multitude of the city shall be deserted. Instead, the mound and tower shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

vw@Isaiah:32:15 @ until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is esteemed as a forest.

vw@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall remain in the fruitful field.

vw@Isaiah:32:17 @ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever.

vw@Isaiah:32:19 @ though it hails upon the forest, and the city is laid low.

vw@Isaiah:32:20 @ Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send free the feet of the ox and the ass.

vw@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to the destroyer, and you have not been destroyed; and the betrayer, and they have not betrayed you. When you stop destroying, you shall be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they shall betray you.

vw@Isaiah:33:2 @ O Jehovah, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning; our salvation also in the time of trouble.

vw@Isaiah:33:3 @ At the sound of the tumult the people have fled; at the lifting up of Yourself the nations have been scattered.

vw@Isaiah:33:4 @ And your spoils shall be gathered as the locust gathers; as the running to and fro of locusts he shall run upon them.

vw@Isaiah:33:6 @ Wisdom and knowledge shall be the steadfastness of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of Jehovah is His treasure.

vw@Isaiah:33:7 @ Behold, their mighty ones shall cry outside; the messengers of peace shall weep bitterly.

vw@Isaiah:33:8 @ The highways lie waste, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He has had regard for no man.

vw@Isaiah:33:9 @ The earth mourns and has grown feeble. Lebanon is ashamed and withers; Sharon is like a wilderness; Bashan and Carmel are shaken out like empty fruit trees.

vw@Isaiah:33:12 @ And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.

vw@Isaiah:33:14 @ The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

vw@Isaiah:33:15 @ He who walks righteously and speaks with equity; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;

vw@Isaiah:33:16 @ he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

vw@Isaiah:33:17 @ Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off.

vw@Isaiah:33:18 @ Your heart shall muse on terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the one who weighs? Where is the one who counts the towers?

vw@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed meetings; your eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet home, a tent that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, nor shall any of its cords be broken.

vw@Isaiah:33:21 @ But there the glorious Jehovah will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars shall go, nor shall majestic ships pass by.

vw@Isaiah:33:23 @ Your ropes are loosened, they could not hold the base of the mast, they could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder is divided; the lame take the spoils.

vw@Isaiah:33:24 @ And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the iniquity of the people who dwell there shall be taken away.

vw@Isaiah:34:1 @ Come near, you nations, to hear; and you people, pay attention; let the earth hear, and its fullness; the world, and all its offspring.

vw@Isaiah:34:2 @ For the wrath of Jehovah is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them, He has delivered them to the slaughter.

vw@Isaiah:34:3 @ Also their slain shall be thrown out, and their stench shall come up out of their corpses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

vw@Isaiah:34:4 @ And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; and all their host shall wither, as a leaf withers off the vine, and as fruit falling from the fig tree.

vw@Isaiah:34:5 @ For My sword is drenched in the heavens. Behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of My curse, for judgment.

vw@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 has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

vw@Isaiah:34:7 @ And the oryx shall come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

vw@Isaiah:34:8 @ For it is the day of Jehovah’s vengeance, the year of retribution for the strife against Zion.

vw@Isaiah:34:11 @ But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; the owl also, and the raven, shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it the line of chaos, and the stones of emptiness.

vw@Isaiah:34:12 @ They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but no one shall be there, and all its rulers shall be nothing.

vw@Isaiah:34:14 @ The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the howling beasts; and the shaggy goat shall cry to his fellow. The night creature also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

vw@Isaiah:34:15 @ There the great owl shall make her nest, and lay and hatch, and gather them under her shadow; there shall the birds of prey also be gathered, every one with her mate.

vw@Isaiah:34:16 @ Search from the book of Jehovah, and read; not one of these shall fail, not one shall lack her mate; for My mouth has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them.

vw@Isaiah:34:17 @ And He has cast the lot for them, and His hand has divided it unto them by measuring line; they shall possess it perpetually, from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

vw@Isaiah:35:1 @ The wilderness and the desert shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.

vw@Isaiah:35:2 @ It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah and the majesty of our God.

vw@Isaiah:35:3 @ Make the weak hands strong, and make the feeble knees secure.

vw@Isaiah:35:4 @ Say to those of anxious heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.

vw@Isaiah:35:5 @ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

vw@Isaiah:35:6 @ Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing. For in the wilderness waters shall break out, and streams in the desert.

vw@Isaiah:35:7 @ And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of water, in the habitation of dragons where they dwell, a place for grass with reeds and rushes.

vw@Isaiah:35:8 @ And a highway shall be there, even a road; and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. Whoever travels on it, though a fool, shall not go astray.

vw@Isaiah:35:9 @ No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it; they shall not be found there. But only the redeemed shall walk there.

vw@Isaiah:35:10 @ And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

vw@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.

vw@Isaiah:36:2 @ And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a great army. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

vw@Isaiah:36:3 @ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to him.

vw@Isaiah:36:4 @ And Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust?

vw@Isaiah:36:5 @ You say (but they are only words of the lips), I have counsel and strength for war. Now, in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

vw@Isaiah:36:6 @ Lo, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which, if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

vw@Isaiah:36:8 @ Now then, please exchange pledges with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are even able on your part to put riders on them.

vw@Isaiah:36:9 @ How then will you repel the face of one commander of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

vw@Isaiah:36:11 @ Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. But do not speak to us in the Jewish language in the ears of the people who are on the wall.

vw@Isaiah:36:12 @ But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?

vw@Isaiah:36:13 @ Then Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!

vw@Isaiah:36:14 @ Thus says the king, Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you!

vw@Isaiah:36:15 @ Nor let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will deliver, to rescue us; this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria!

vw@Isaiah:36:16 @ Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria, Make a peace treaty with me, and come out to me; and let everyone eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern,

vw@Isaiah:36:18 @ Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

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

vw@Isaiah:36:20 @ Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

vw@Isaiah:36:21 @ But they kept silent and did not answer him a word, for the king’s command said, Do not answer him.

vw@Isaiah:36:22 @ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.

vw@Isaiah:37:1 @ And it happened when King Hezekiah heard it that he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

vw@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, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

vw@Isaiah:37:3 @ And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy! For the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.

vw@Isaiah:37:4 @ It may be that Jehovah your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.

vw@Isaiah:37:5 @ So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

vw@Isaiah:37:6 @ And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says Jehovah, Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

vw@Isaiah:37:7 @ Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

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

vw@Isaiah:37:10 @ Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:37:11 @ Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them. And shall you be delivered?

vw@Isaiah:37:12 @ Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed: Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?

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

vw@Isaiah:37:14 @ And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messenger, and read it. And Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah and spread it before Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:37:16 @ O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.

vw@Isaiah:37:17 @ Extend Your ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open Your eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to taunt the Living God.

vw@Isaiah:37:18 @ Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,

vw@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.

vw@Isaiah:37:20 @ Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah, You alone.

vw@Isaiah:37:21 @ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,

vw@Isaiah:37:22 @ this is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you.

vw@Isaiah:37:23 @ Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:37:24 @ By your servants you have taunted Jehovah and have said, By my many chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains beside Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will go to the extremities of its height, the forest of its Carmel.

vw@Isaiah:37:25 @ I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

vw@Isaiah:37:27 @ And their inhabitants had little power; being dismayed and ashamed. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and the standing grain before the field.

vw@Isaiah:37:29 @ Because your raging against Me, and your arrogance has come up into My ears, therefore I will put My hook in your nose, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way from which you came.

vw@Isaiah:37:30 @ And this shall be a sign to you: You shall eat grain this year from what was sown by itself; and the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year you shall sow, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

vw@Isaiah:37:31 @ And the remnant that escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward;

vw@Isaiah:37:32 @ for out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape out of Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts shall do this.

vw@Isaiah:37:33 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah to the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.

vw@Isaiah:37:34 @ By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and shall not come into this city, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:37:36 @ Then the angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

vw@Isaiah:37:38 @ And it came to pass as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat; and Esar-Haddon his son reigned in his place.

vw@Isaiah:38:1 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.

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

vw@Isaiah:38:4 @ Then came the Word of Jehovah to Isaiah, saying,

vw@Isaiah:38:5 @ Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says Jehovah the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add to your days fifteen years.

vw@Isaiah:38:6 @ And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

vw@Isaiah:38:8 @ behold, I will bring back the shadow which has gone down the steps on the sundial of Ahaz, ten steps backward. So the sun returned ten steps, by which it had gone down.

vw@Isaiah:38:9 @ This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:

vw@Isaiah:38:10 @ I said at the end of of my days, I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the rest of my years.

vw@Isaiah:38:11 @ I said, I shall not see YAH, Jehovah, in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

vw@Isaiah:38:12 @ My generation is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent; I have cut off my life like a weaver; He will cut me off from the loom; from day even to night You make an end of me.

vw@Isaiah:38:14 @ Like a twittering swallow, so I chatter; I mourn as a dove; my eyes look weakly to the heights. O Jehovah, I am distressed; be surety for me.

vw@Isaiah:38:15 @ What shall I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has acted; I shall go slowly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

vw@Isaiah:38:16 @ O Jehovah, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; so You will restore me to health and make me live.

vw@Isaiah:38:17 @ Behold, instead of peace I was bitter with bitterness; but You have delighted in delivering my soul from the pit of corruption. You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

vw@Isaiah:38:18 @ For Sheol cannot thank You, death cannot praise You; those who go down into the pit cannot hope for Your truth.

vw@Isaiah:38:19 @ The living, the living man, he shall praise You, as I do this day; the father shall make Your truth known to the children.

vw@Isaiah:38:20 @ Jehovah is there to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:38:21 @ For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs and rub it on the boil, and he shall live.

vw@Isaiah:38:22 @ Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?

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

vw@Isaiah:39:2 @ And Hezekiah was glad because of them, and showed them the house of his treasures; the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all his armory, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

vw@Isaiah:39:3 @ Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And where did they come from to you? And Hezekiah said, They have come to me from a distant land, from Babylon.

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

vw@Isaiah:39:5 @ Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the Word of Jehovah of Hosts:

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

vw@Isaiah:39:7 @ And some of your sons which shall come forth from you, which you shall beget, shall be taken away; and they shall be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.

vw@Isaiah:39:8 @ Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The Word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good. For he said, At least there shall be peace and truth in my days.

vw@Isaiah:40:2 @ Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the hand of Jehovah double for all her sins.

vw@Isaiah:40:3 @ The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

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

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

vw@Isaiah:40:6 @ The voice said, Cry out! And he said, What shall I proclaim? All flesh is grass, and all the goodness of it is as the flower of the field.

vw@Isaiah:40:7 @ The grass withers, the flower fades, because the Spirit of Jehovah blows upon it; surely the people are grass.

vw@Isaiah:40:8 @ The grass withers, the flower fades; but the Word of our God stands forever.

vw@Isaiah:40:9 @ You, who brings good tidings to Zion, go up onto the high mountain. Lift up your voice with strength, you who brings good tidings to Jerusalem, lift it up, be not afraid. Say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

vw@Isaiah:40:10 @ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.

vw@Isaiah:40:11 @ He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those who are with young.

vw@Isaiah:40:12 @ Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured out the heavens with a span? And who has calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

vw@Isaiah:40:13 @ Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah, and what man, as a counselor, has taught Him?

vw@Isaiah:40:14 @ With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him and taught Him in the path of justice; and taught Him knowledge, and made known the way of understanding to Him?

vw@Isaiah:40:15 @ Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the fine dust on the scales; behold, He lifts up the islands as a very little thing.

vw@Isaiah:40:16 @ And Lebanon is not enough to burn, nor the beasts of it enough for a burnt offering.

vw@Isaiah:40:17 @ All the nations before Him are as nothing; and to Him they are accounted as less than nothing, and vanity.

vw@Isaiah:40:18 @ To whom then will you compare the Mighty God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?

vw@Isaiah:40:19 @ The workman casts a graven image, and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and smelts silver chains.

vw@Isaiah:40:21 @ Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

vw@Isaiah:40:22 @ It is He who sits upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;

vw@Isaiah:40:23 @ Who brings the rulers to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth as nothing.

vw@Isaiah:40:24 @ Indeed, they shall not be planted; indeed, they shall not be sown. Indeed, their stump shall not take root in the earth. And He shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the tempest shall take them away like stubble.

vw@Isaiah:40:25 @ To whom then will you compare Me, or with whom am I equal? says the Holy One.

vw@Isaiah:40:26 @ Lift up your eyes on high, and consider who has created these things, who brings out their host by number. He calls them all by name by the greatness of His might, for He is strong in power; not one is missing.

vw@Isaiah:40:28 @ Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the eternal God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not grow faint nor weary? His understanding is unsearchable.

vw@Isaiah:40:29 @ He gives power to the faint; and to him with no strength, He increases might.

vw@Isaiah:40:30 @ Even the young shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall be feeble and stumble;

vw@Isaiah:40:31 @ but those who wait upon Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

vw@Isaiah:41:1 @ Keep silence before Me, O coastlands; and let the people renew their strength; let them come near. Then let them speak, Let us come near together for judgment.

vw@Isaiah:41:2 @ Who raised up the righteous one from the east, called him to His foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? Who gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow?

vw@Isaiah:41:3 @ Who pursued them and passed by in peace by the way he had not gone before by foot?

vw@Isaiah:41:4 @ Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, am the First and the Last. I am He.

vw@Isaiah:41:5 @ The coastlands saw and feared. The ends of the earth were afraid, and drew near and came.

vw@Isaiah:41:6 @ They each one helped his neighbor, and said to his brother, Be strong.

vw@Isaiah:41:7 @ So the craftsman encourages the refiner, and he who smooths with the hammer, him who struck the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good. And he makes it steady with nails so that it will not be shaken.

vw@Isaiah:41:8 @ But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, My friend;

vw@Isaiah:41:9 @ whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called you and set you apart. And I said to you, You are My servant; I have chosen you, and not cast you away.

vw@Isaiah:41:10 @ Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will make you strong; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:41:11 @ Behold, all those who were enraged against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish.

vw@Isaiah:41:12 @ You shall seek them, and shall not find them; the men striving against you shall be as nothing; at an end.

vw@Isaiah:41:14 @ Fear not, you worm of Jacob and men of Israel; I will help you, says Jehovah and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:41:15 @ Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them fine, and shall make the hills like chaff.

vw@Isaiah:41:16 @ You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in Jehovah and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:41:17 @ The poor and needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue fails for thirst. I Jehovah will hear them, I the God of Israel will not abandon them.

vw@Isaiah:41:18 @ I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

vw@Isaiah:41:19 @ I will plant the cedar in the wilderness, the acacia tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree. I will set the fir tree in the desert, and the pine, and the box tree together;

vw@Isaiah:41:20 @ that they may see and know, and determine and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

vw@Isaiah:41:21 @ Present your case, says Jehovah; approach to argue your defense, says the King of Jacob.

vw@Isaiah:41:22 @ Let them approach, and confess to us what shall happen; let them disclose the former things, what they are, that we may determine a finding and know the final outcome; or proclaim to us things to come.

vw@Isaiah:41:23 @ Make known the things to come after this, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, so that we may anxiously watch it together.

vw@Isaiah:41:25 @ I have raised up one from the north and he shall come; from the sunrise he shall call upon My name. And he shall come against rulers as in a mortar, and as the potter tramples clay.

vw@Isaiah:41:26 @ Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? And formerly, that we may say, He is righteous? Yea, no one declares; yea, no one proclaims; yea, no one hears your words.

vw@Isaiah:41:27 @ First I shall say to Zion, Behold! Behold them! And I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good news.

vw@Isaiah:41:28 @ For I looked, and there was no man; and of those there was no counselor, that I might ask and they could answer a word.

vw@Isaiah:41:29 @ Behold, they are all wicked; their works are nothing; their molten images are like thin air and vanity.

vw@Isaiah:42:1 @ Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

vw@Isaiah:42:2 @ He shall not cry out, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

vw@Isaiah:42:4 @ He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until He has established justice on the earth; and the islands shall wait for His Law.

vw@Isaiah:42:5 @ Thus says Jehovah the Mighty God, He who created the heavens and stretched them out, spreading out the earth and its offspring; Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it.

vw@Isaiah:42:6 @ I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You, and give You as a covenant to the people, as a Light to the nations;

vw@Isaiah:42:7 @ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.

vw@Isaiah:42:8 @ I am Jehovah; that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images.

vw@Isaiah:42:9 @ Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth, I proclaim them to you.

vw@Isaiah:42:10 @ Sing to Jehovah a new song; His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the coastlands and its inhabitants.

vw@Isaiah:42:11 @ Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages where Kedar dwells. Let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the mountain tops.

vw@Isaiah:42:12 @ Give glory to Jehovah and declare His praise in the coastlands.

vw@Isaiah:42:15 @ I will make waste the mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation. And I will make the rivers coastlands, and I will dry up the pools.

vw@Isaiah:42:16 @ And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths they have not known; I will make darkness into light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things for them, and not forsake them.

vw@Isaiah:42:17 @ They have been turned back, they are greatly ashamed, those who trust in graven images and who say to the molten images, You are our gods.

vw@Isaiah:42:20 @ You see many things, but do not observe; opening the ears, but no one hears.

vw@Isaiah:42:21 @ Jehovah is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will magnify the Law and make it honorable.

vw@Isaiah:42:22 @ But this is a people robbed and plundered; all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses. They are as prey, and no one delivers them; spoils, and no one says, Give it back!

vw@Isaiah:42:23 @ Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

vw@Isaiah:42:24 @ Who gave Jacob for a spoils, and Israel to robbers? Was it not Jehovah, against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, nor did they obey His Law.

vw@Isaiah:42:25 @ Therefore He has poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle. And it has set him on fire all around, yet he did not know; and it burned him, yet he did not lay it to heart.

vw@Isaiah:43:2 @ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame consume you.

vw@Isaiah:43:3 @ For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.

vw@Isaiah:43:4 @ Since you were precious in My eyes, you have been honored, and I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life.

vw@Isaiah:43:5 @ Fear not, for I am with you. I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west.

vw@Isaiah:43:6 @ I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Do not keep back; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth;

vw@Isaiah:43:8 @ Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

vw@Isaiah:43:9 @ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this and cause us to hear former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is true.

vw@Isaiah:43:10 @ You are My witnesses, says Jehovah, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, nor shall there be after Me.

vw@Isaiah:43:11 @ I, even I, am Jehovah; and there is no one to save besides Me.

vw@Isaiah:43:12 @ I have declared and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says Jehovah, that I am the Mighty God.

vw@Isaiah:43:13 @ Yea, before the day was, I am He; and no one can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?

vw@Isaiah:43:14 @ Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought them all down as fugitives, and the Chaldeans, who shout in their ships.

vw@Isaiah:43:15 @ I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

vw@Isaiah:43:16 @ Thus says Jehovah, Who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters;

vw@Isaiah:43:17 @ Who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the power: They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick.

vw@Isaiah:43:18 @ Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.

vw@Isaiah:43:19 @ Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

vw@Isaiah:43:20 @ The beasts of the field shall honor Me, the dragons and the young owls; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My elect.

vw@Isaiah:43:21 @ This people that I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise.

vw@Isaiah:43:23 @ You have not brought Me the lamb of your burnt offerings; nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.

vw@Isaiah:43:24 @ You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

vw@Isaiah:43:26 @ Bring to My remembrance; let us enter into judgment together; declare yourself, that you may be justified.

vw@Isaiah:43:27 @ Your first father has sinned, and has mocked and rebelled against Me.

vw@Isaiah:43:28 @ Therefore I will defile the rulers of the sanctuary, and will give Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

vw@Isaiah:44:2 @ Thus says Jehovah who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you; Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

vw@Isaiah:44:3 @ For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour My spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring;

vw@Isaiah:44:4 @ and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

vw@Isaiah:44:5 @ One shall say, I am Jehovah’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, For Jehovah, and be named by the name of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:44:6 @ Thus says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His Redeemer Jehovah of Hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides Me there is no God.

vw@Isaiah:44:7 @ And who shall proclaim as I do, and shall declare it and set it in order for Me; since I founded the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come; let them declare it to them.

vw@Isaiah:44:8 @ Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you and declared it since then? Thus, you are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Yea, there is no other rock. I have not known any.

vw@Isaiah:44:9 @ Those who make a graven image, all of them are vanity; and the things which they desire shall not help. And they are their own witnesses; they do not see nor know; that they may be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:44:11 @ Behold, all his companions shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen, they are men. Let them be gathered together; let them stand up; they shall be in dread; they shall be ashamed together.

vw@Isaiah:44:12 @ The craftsman in iron makes it in the coals with the tongs, and fashions it with hammers, and makes it with the strength of his arms. Then, he is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.

vw@Isaiah:44:13 @ The craftsman in wood stretches a measuring line; he makes an outline with a marker; he works it with carving tools, and he marks it out with the compass, and makes it like the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.

vw@Isaiah:44:14 @ He cuts down cedars, and takes cypress and oak, which he secures for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir tree, and the rain makes it grow.

vw@Isaiah:44:15 @ Then it shall be for a man to burn; for he will take some of it and warm himself. Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread; he also makes a god and bows down to it; he makes it into a graven image and prostrates himself to it.

vw@Isaiah:44:16 @ He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he eats flesh; he roasts a roast and is satisfied; indeed, he warms himself, and says, Ah! I am warm, I have seen the fire.

vw@Isaiah:44:17 @ And the rest of it he makes into a god, his graven image. He prostrates himself before it and bows down, and prays to it, and says, Deliver me! for you are my mighty god.

vw@Isaiah:44:18 @ They have not known nor understood; for He has shut their eyes so that they cannot see; and their hearts so that they cannot understand.

vw@Isaiah:44:19 @ And no one considers within his heart, nor is there perception nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; indeed, also I have baked bread on its coals; I have roasted flesh and eaten; and shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I prostrate myself to a piece of wood?

vw@Isaiah:44:21 @ Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for you are My servant; I have formed you; you are My servant; O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by Me.

vw@Isaiah:44:23 @ Sing, O heavens; for Jehovah has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel!

vw@Isaiah:44:24 @ Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by Myself;

vw@Isaiah:44:25 @ who brings to nothing the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns the wise backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;

vw@Isaiah:44:26 @ who establishes the word of His servant, and performs the counsel of His messengers; who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, You shall be built, and I will raise up its waste places;

vw@Isaiah:44:27 @ who says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers;

vw@Isaiah:44:28 @ who says of Cyrus, He is My shepherd, and shall do all My pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.

vw@Isaiah:45:1 @ Thus says Jehovah to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have strengthened in order to subdue nations before him. And I will loosen the loins of kings, to open before him the gates; and the gates shall not be shut.

vw@Isaiah:45:2 @ I will go before you, and make the high places level and straight. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze, and cut the iron bars in two.

vw@Isaiah:45:3 @ And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Jehovah, who calls you by your name, am the God of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:45:5 @ I am Jehovah, and there is none other, no God besides Me; I embraced you, though you have not known Me;

vw@Isaiah:45:6 @ that they may know from the rising of the sun, to its setting, that there is none besides Me. I am Jehovah, and there is no other;

vw@Isaiah:45:7 @ forming the light and creating darkness; making peace and creating evil. I, Jehovah, do all these things.

vw@Isaiah:45:8 @ Rain down from above, O heavens, and let the clouds pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, and let salvation bear fruit; and let righteousness spring up together. I, Jehovah, have created it.

vw@Isaiah:45:9 @ Woe to him who strives with the One who formed him, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one who forms it, What are you making? Or your work, He has no hands?

vw@Isaiah:45:10 @ Woe to him who says to his father, What are you begetting? Or to the woman, What are you writhing over?

vw@Isaiah:45:11 @ Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and the One who formed him, Do you ask Me of things to come? Do you give command to Me about My sons, and about the work of My hands?

vw@Isaiah:45:12 @ I have made the earth, and created man on it; I, with My hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I ordained.

vw@Isaiah:45:14 @ Thus says Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come to you, and they shall be yours. They shall follow behind you; and they shall pass over in chains and they shall bow down to you. They shall plead with you, saying, Surely the Mighty God is in you; there is no one else, no other God.

vw@Isaiah:45:15 @ Truly You are a Mighty God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

vw@Isaiah:45:16 @ They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they who are makers of idols shall go into disgrace together.

vw@Isaiah:45:18 @ For thus says Jehovah who Created the heavens, God who has formed the earth and made it; who has established it, who has not created it void, but has formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is no other.

vw@Isaiah:45:19 @ I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain. I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

vw@Isaiah:45:20 @ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those who set up the wood of their graven image, and those that pray to a god that cannot save, they know nothing.

vw@Isaiah:45:21 @ Declare and approach; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from antiquity? Who has told it since then? Is it not I, Jehovah. And there is no other God besides Me; a just Mighty God and a Savior; there is no one besides Me.

vw@Isaiah:45:22 @ Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other.

vw@Isaiah:45:23 @ I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

vw@Isaiah:45:24 @ One shall say, Only in Jehovah do I have righteousness and strength; to Him men shall come. And they shall be ashamed, all who are angry with Him.

vw@Isaiah:45:25 @ In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

vw@Isaiah:46:1 @ Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle; the things you carried have become a load, a burden to the weary.

vw@Isaiah:46:2 @ They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves have gone into captivity.

vw@Isaiah:46:3 @ Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who were carried by Me from the belly, who were sustained from the womb;

vw@Isaiah:46:4 @ even to your old age, I am He; and to the gray hairs I will bear you. I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

vw@Isaiah:46:6 @ They pour gold out of the bag, and weigh silver out on the measuring rod, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it into a god; they prostrate themselves, yea, they bow down.

vw@Isaiah:46:7 @ They carry it on the shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place, and it stands; it shall not move from its place. Yes, one shall cry unto it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

vw@Isaiah:46:8 @ Remember this, and be a man; refresh the memory of your heart, you who rebel.

vw@Isaiah:46:9 @ Remember the former things from a long time ago; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other; I am God, and no one else is like Me,

vw@Isaiah:46:10 @ declaring the end from the beginning, and from antiquity things which are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;

vw@Isaiah:46:11 @ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a distant land. Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have formed it; I will also do it.

vw@Isaiah:47:1 @ Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground. There is no throne for you, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.

vw@Isaiah:47:2 @ Take the millstones and grind meal. Uncover your veil, strip off the skirt, bare the thigh, pass through the rivers.

vw@Isaiah:47:4 @ Our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:47:5 @ Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the Queen of Kingdoms.

vw@Isaiah:47:6 @ I was angry with My people, I have polluted My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You have shown them no mercy; upon the aged you have laid your yoke very heavily.

vw@Isaiah:47:7 @ And you said, I shall be a queen forever; so you did not lay these things to heart, nor remember the latter end of it.

vw@Isaiah:47:8 @ Now therefore hear this, O voluptuous one, who lives securely; who says in her heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children.

vw@Isaiah:47:9 @ But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great power of your enchantments.

vw@Isaiah:47:10 @ For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge have perverted you; and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me.

vw@Isaiah:47:11 @ Therefore evil shall come upon you, and you shall not know its origin. And disaster shall fall upon you, and you shall not be able to cover it over. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not be informed of.

vw@Isaiah:47:12 @ Stand now with your charms, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored since your youth. Perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps you may prevail.

vw@Isaiah:47:13 @ You are wearied by your many counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers and the fortunetellers step forth and save you from what shall come upon you.

vw@Isaiah:47:14 @ Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to be warmed with; nor a fire in front of which to sit.

vw@Isaiah:47:15 @ Thus shall they be to you with whom you have labored, your merchants from your youth. They shall wander, each one, to his own region; no one shall save you.

vw@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah and make mention of the God of Israel (but not in truth nor in righteousness;

vw@Isaiah:48:2 @ for they name themselves as being of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of Hosts is His name):

vw@Isaiah:48:3 @ I have declared the former things from the beginning, and they proceeded forth out of My mouth, and I proclaimed to them. I acted suddenly, and they came to pass,

vw@Isaiah:48:5 @ I even declared it to you from the beginning. Before it happened I proclaimed it to you, lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image and my molten image has commanded them.

vw@Isaiah:48:6 @ You have heard; see all this. And will you not declare it? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.

vw@Isaiah:48:7 @ They are created now, and not since the beginning; even before the day when you did not hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.

vw@Isaiah:48:8 @ Surely you did not hear, surely you did not know; surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deceive with treachery, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

vw@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

vw@Isaiah:48:11 @ For my own sake, for My own sake I will do it; for why should My name be defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.

vw@Isaiah:48:12 @ Listen to me O Jacob, and Israel My called; I am He; I am the first, I also am the last.

vw@Isaiah:48:13 @ My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens. When I called to them, they stood up together.

vw@Isaiah:48:14 @ Let all of you gather and hear. Who among them has declared these things? Jehovah has loved him; He will do as He pleases upon Babylon, and His arm shall be upon the Chaldeans.

vw@Isaiah:48:16 @ Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From the time it existed, I was there; and now the Lord Jehovah, and His Spirit, has sent Me.

vw@Isaiah:48:17 @ Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

vw@Isaiah:48:18 @ Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

vw@Isaiah:48:19 @ Your seed also would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your womb like grains of sand; his name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before My face.

vw@Isaiah:48:20 @ Go out from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a resounding voice! Proclaim this; let it go forth to the ends of the earth! Say, Jehovah has redeemed His servant, Jacob!

vw@Isaiah:48:21 @ And they did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He split open the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

vw@Isaiah:48:22 @ There is no peace, says Jehovah, unto the wicked.

vw@Isaiah:49:1 @ Listen to Me, O coastlands; and give attention, you people from afar; Jehovah has called Me from the womb; from My mother’s belly He has made mention of My name.

vw@Isaiah:49:2 @ And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, and made Me a polished shaft. He has hidden Me in His quiver,

vw@Isaiah:49:4 @ Then I said, I have labored in vain; I have spent My strength for nothing, and in vain; yet surely My just due is with Jehovah, and My work with My God.

vw@Isaiah:49:5 @ And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I shall be glorious in the eyes of Jehovah, and My God shall be My strength.

vw@Isaiah:49:6 @ And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:49:7 @ Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nation loathes, the Servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, rulers also shall bow down, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose You.

vw@Isaiah:49:8 @ Thus says Jehovah: In a favorable time I have answered You, and in a day of salvation I have helped You; and I will preserve You, and give You as a covenant to the people, to establish the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate possessions;

vw@Isaiah:49:9 @ that You may say to the prisoners, Go out! To those who are in darkness, Show yourselves! They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be on all the barren heights.

vw@Isaiah:49:10 @ They shall not hunger nor thirst; nor shall the heat nor sun strike them; for He who has mercy on them will lead them; even by the springs of water He will guide them.

vw@Isaiah:49:12 @ Behold, these shall come from afar; and, lo, those from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

vw@Isaiah:49:13 @ Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out into singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.

vw@Isaiah:49:15 @ Can a woman forget her nursing infant, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Indeed, they may forget; yet I will not forget you.

vw@Isaiah:49:16 @ Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are perpetually before Me.

vw@Isaiah:49:18 @ Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you shall surely wear them as an ornament, and bind them on you as a bride does.

vw@Isaiah:49:19 @ For your waste and desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too constricted to dwell there, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.

vw@Isaiah:49:20 @ The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; let a place come to me so that I may have room to dwell.

vw@Isaiah:49:21 @ Then you shall say in your heart, Who has begotten these for me, since I am bereaved, and desolate, removed into exile. And who has raised up these? Behold, I was left alone. But these, where were they?

vw@Isaiah:49:22 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up My banner to the people; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

vw@Isaiah:49:23 @ And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your wet nurses. They shall bow down to you, with faces to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am Jehovah; for they who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:49:24 @ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

vw@Isaiah:49:25 @ But thus says Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the ruthless shall escape. For I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.

vw@Isaiah:49:26 @ And I will feed those who oppress you, with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

vw@Isaiah:50:1 @ Thus says Jehovah, Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce, whom I have put away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, and your mother has been put away for your sins.

vw@Isaiah:50:2 @ Why, when I came, was no one here? I called and no one answered. Is My hand shortened at all so that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink, because there is no water, and die of thirst.

vw@Isaiah:50:3 @ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

vw@Isaiah:50:4 @ The Lord Jehovah has given Me the tongue of the learned, to know how to speak a word in season to the weary. He wakens morning by morning, He wakens the ear to hear as the learned.

vw@Isaiah:50:5 @ The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backwards.

vw@Isaiah:50:7 @ For the Lord Jehovah will help Me; therefore I have not been ashamed. Therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:50:8 @ He is near who justifies Me; who will contend with Me? Let us stand together; who is the master of My judgment? Let him come near Me.

vw@Isaiah:50:9 @ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help Me; who is he who shall condemn Me? Lo, they all shall wear out like a garment; the moth shall eat them.

vw@Isaiah:50:10 @ Who among you fears Jehovah? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rest on his God.

vw@Isaiah:50:11 @ Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who are surrounded with sparks; walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks which you have kindled. This you shall have from My hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.

vw@Isaiah:51:1 @ Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you have been dug.

vw@Isaiah:51:2 @ Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

vw@Isaiah:51:3 @ For Jehovah will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

vw@Isaiah:51:4 @ Listen to Me, My people; and give ear to Me, O My nation; for a law shall go out from Me, and I will make My justice to rest for a light of the people.

vw@Isaiah:51:5 @ My righteousness is near; My salvation has gone forth, and My arms shall judge the people; the coastlands shall wait upon Me, and on My arm they shall trust.

vw@Isaiah:51:6 @ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall become old like a garment; and its inhabitants shall die in the same way. But My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be broken.

vw@Isaiah:51:7 @ Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My Law; do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings.

vw@Isaiah:51:8 @ For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My righteousness shall be forever, and My salvation from generation to generation.

vw@Isaiah:51:9 @ Awake! awake! Put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of antiquity, in the generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab into pieces, wounding the dragon?

vw@Isaiah:51:10 @ Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

vw@Isaiah:51:11 @ Therefore the redeemed of Jehovah shall return and come with singing into Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their head. Gladness and joy shall overtake them; sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

vw@Isaiah:51:12 @ I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you, that you should fear a man, who shall die; or the son of man, who shall be made as grass?

vw@Isaiah:51:13 @ And you forget Jehovah your Maker, who has stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. And you dread continually, every day, because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy. And where is the fury of the oppressor?

vw@Isaiah:51:14 @ Stooped over he hurries to be loosed, so that he should not die in the pit, nor lack his bread.

vw@Isaiah:51:15 @ But I am Jehovah your God, who divided the sea, whose waves roared; Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

vw@Isaiah:51:16 @ And I have put My Words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, You are My people.

vw@Isaiah:51:17 @ Awake! Awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, who has drunk the cup of His fury from the hand of Jehovah; you have drunk the dregs of the cup of staggering, and wrung them out.

vw@Isaiah:51:18 @ There is no one to guide her among all the sons she has borne; and no one takes her by the hand of all the sons that she has raised.

vw@Isaiah:51:19 @ These two things have come upon you, who shall be sorry for you? Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword. By whom shall I comfort you?

vw@Isaiah:51:20 @ Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets like a wild animal in a net, filled with the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.

vw@Isaiah:51:21 @ Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, and drunk, but not with wine.

vw@Isaiah:51:22 @ Thus says your Lord, Jehovah, and your God who pleads the case of His people: Behold, I have taken the cup of staggering out of your hand, even the dregs of the cup of My fury; you shall never drink it again.

vw@Isaiah:51:23 @ But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, Bow down so that we may pass over; and lay your back on the ground, even as the street, for those who cross over.

vw@Isaiah:52:1 @ Awake! Awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the Holy City. For never again shall the uncircumcised and unclean come into you.

vw@Isaiah:52:2 @ Shake yourself from the dust; rise up! Sit down, Jerusalem! Loose yourself from your neckbands, O captive daughter of Zion.

vw@Isaiah:52:4 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah, My people went down before into Egypt to stay there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

vw@Isaiah:52:5 @ Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and My name is continually blasphemed every day.

vw@Isaiah:52:6 @ Therefore My people shall know My name. Thus it shall be in that day, for I am He who speaks; behold, it is I.

vw@Isaiah:52:7 @ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him bringing good tidings, proclaiming peace; bringing good news, proclaiming salvation; who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

vw@Isaiah:52:8 @ Your watchmen shall lift up the voice! They shall lift up the voice together in a resounding cry; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah brings Zion back.

vw@Isaiah:52:9 @ Break forth together into a resounding cry of joy, you waste places of Jerusalem! For Jehovah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:52:10 @ Jehovah has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

vw@Isaiah:52:11 @ Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch not the unclean. Go out of her midst; purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:52:12 @ For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel gathers you.

vw@Isaiah:52:14 @ Just as many were astonished at You (His appearance was disfigured more than any man, and His form more than the sons of mankind);

vw@Isaiah:52:15 @ so shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; for that which had not been told to them, they shall see; and what they had not heard, they shall consider.

vw@Isaiah:53:1 @ Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

vw@Isaiah:53:2 @ For He grows up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of the dry ground. He has no form nor splendor that we should regard Him, nor anything spectacular that we should desire Him.

vw@Isaiah:53:5 @ But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

vw@Isaiah:53:6 @ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

vw@Isaiah:53:7 @ He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.

vw@Isaiah:53:8 @ He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of My people He was stricken.

vw@Isaiah:53:9 @ And His grave was assigned with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.

vw@Isaiah:53:10 @ Yet it pleased Jehovah to crush Him; to grieve Him; that He should give His soul as a sin-offering. He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the delight of Jehovah shall prosper in His hand.

vw@Isaiah:53:11 @ He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be fulfilled. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

vw@Isaiah:53:12 @ Therefore I will apportion to Him with the great, and He shall divide the spoils with the strong; because He has poured out His soul unto death; and He was reckoned among the transgressors; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

vw@Isaiah:54:1 @ Rejoice, O barren one, you who have not borne; break forth into screams of delight, you who have not writhed in pangs. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the one who is married, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:54:2 @ Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spare, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes;

vw@Isaiah:54:3 @ for you shall burst forth on the right hand and on the left. And your seed shall inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.

vw@Isaiah:54:4 @ Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed; nor be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.

vw@Isaiah:54:5 @ For your Maker is your husband; Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called, GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.

vw@Isaiah:54:7 @ For a brief moment I have left you; but with great mercies I will gather you.

vw@Isaiah:54:9 @ For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should never again overflow the earth, so I have sworn to not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

vw@Isaiah:54:10 @ For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed, says Jehovah, who has mercy on you.

vw@Isaiah:54:13 @ And all your children shall be taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of your children.

vw@Isaiah:54:15 @ Indeed, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me; whoever shall gather against you, by you he shall fall.

vw@Isaiah:54:16 @ Behold, I have created the smith who blows the coals in the fire, and who brings out a tool for his work; and I have created the one who ruins to destroy.

vw@Isaiah:54:17 @ No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:55:1 @ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

vw@Isaiah:55:3 @ Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

vw@Isaiah:55:4 @ Behold, I have given him as a witness to the people, a leader and commander of people.

vw@Isaiah:55:5 @ Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and nations that did not know you shall run to you because of Jehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.

vw@Isaiah:55:7 @ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

vw@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.

vw@Isaiah:55:10 @ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

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

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

vw@Isaiah:56:2 @ Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

vw@Isaiah:56:3 @ And do not let the son of the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah has utterly separated me from His people. And do not let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

vw@Isaiah:56:4 @ For thus says Jehovah to the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what pleases Me, and hold fast to My covenant:

vw@Isaiah:56:5 @ Even to them will I give within My house and within My walls a share and a name better than that of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

vw@Isaiah:56:6 @ Also the children of the foreigner, who join themselves to Jehovah to serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast to My covenant:

vw@Isaiah:56:7 @ Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.

vw@Isaiah:56:8 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah who gathers the outcasts of Israel, Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him.

vw@Isaiah:56:9 @ All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest.

vw@Isaiah:56:10 @ His watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs who cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

vw@Isaiah:56:11 @ Yea, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his own gain, to his own end.

vw@Isaiah:56:12 @ They say, Come, let us get wine and binge on strong drink; and tomorrow shall be like today; much more abundant.

vw@Isaiah:57:1 @ The righteous perishes, and no one lays it to heart, and merciful men are taken away; no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the face of evil.

vw@Isaiah:57:2 @ He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

vw@Isaiah:57:3 @ But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, you seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

vw@Isaiah:57:4 @ Of whom do you make sport? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, a seed of deception,

vw@Isaiah:57:5 @ being inflamed with gods under every green tree, slaughtering the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

vw@Isaiah:57:6 @ Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, even they, are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I be comforted over these?

vw@Isaiah:57:7 @ On a lofty and high mountain you have set your bed; even there you went up to offer sacrifice.

vw@Isaiah:57:8 @ Also behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorials; for you uncovered yourself and went up to those other than Me. You enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them; you have loved to experience their bed first hand.

vw@Isaiah:57:9 @ And you went to the king with ointment, and increased your perfumes, and sent your messengers far away, and lowered yourself even to Sheol.

vw@Isaiah:57:10 @ You are wearied in the length of your way; yet you did not say, There is no hope! You found life in your hand; therefore you were not weak.

vw@Isaiah:57:12 @ I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not be of any benefit to you.

vw@Isaiah:57:13 @ When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; a breath shall take them. But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.

vw@Isaiah:57:14 @ And He shall say, Raise up! Raise up! Clear a path! Remove the stumbling block out of the way of My people.

vw@Isaiah:57:15 @ For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

vw@Isaiah:57:16 @ For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the souls I have made.

vw@Isaiah:57:17 @ For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid Myself and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

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

vw@Isaiah:57:20 @ But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

vw@Isaiah:57:21 @ There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.

vw@Isaiah:58:1 @ Cry aloud, do not spare; lift up your voice like a shofar, and declare to My people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

vw@Isaiah:58:2 @ Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in drawing near to God.

vw@Isaiah:58:3 @ They say, Why have we fasted, and You do not see? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice? Behold, in the day of your fast you devise pleasures, and oppress all your laborers.

vw@Isaiah:58:4 @ Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness; you shall not fast as you do today, to make your voice heard on high.

vw@Isaiah:58:6 @ Is not this the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

vw@Isaiah:58:7 @ Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, and that you should bring home the wandering poor? When you see the naked to cover him; and not hide yourself from your own flesh?

vw@Isaiah:58:8 @ Then shall your light break forth as the dawn, and your health shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall bring up the rear.

vw@Isaiah:58:9 @ Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry out, and He shall say, Here I am. If you take the yoke away from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness;

vw@Isaiah:58:10 @ and if you extend your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light shine in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.

vw@Isaiah:58:12 @ And those from among you shall build the old ruins; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Paths to Dwell in.

vw@Isaiah:58:13 @ If you turn back your foot, on the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy days, and call the Sabbath a delight, the sacred of Jehovah, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,

vw@Isaiah:58:14 @ then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:59:4 @ No one calls for justice, nor does anyone plead for truth; they trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.

vw@Isaiah:59:5 @ They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; he who eats their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

vw@Isaiah:59:6 @ Their webs shall not become garments, nor shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

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

vw@Isaiah:59:8 @ The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their paths. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them shall not know peace.

vw@Isaiah:59:9 @ Therefore justice is far from us; nor does righteousness overtake us. We wait for daylight, but behold, the night; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

vw@Isaiah:59:10 @ We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places like dead men.

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

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

vw@Isaiah:59:13 @ in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

vw@Isaiah:59:14 @ And justice is driven back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

vw@Isaiah:59:15 @ Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.

vw@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 sustained Him.

vw@Isaiah:59:17 @ For He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was covered with zeal as a cloak.

vw@Isaiah:59:18 @ According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay; fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies. He will completely repay their deeds to the coastlands.

vw@Isaiah:59:19 @ So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall drive him out.

vw@Isaiah:59:20 @ And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:59:21 @ As for Me, this is My covenant with them, says Jehovah; My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says Jehovah, from now on and forever.

vw@Isaiah:60:1 @ Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen upon you.

vw@Isaiah:60:2 @ For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but Jehovah shall arise over you, and His glory shall be seen upon you.

vw@Isaiah:60:3 @ And the nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

vw@Isaiah:60:4 @ Lift up your eyes all around, and see. All of them gather themselves; they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the side.

vw@Isaiah:60:5 @ Then you shall be in awe and become radiant, and your heart shall tremble and swell for joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come unto you.

vw@Isaiah:60:6 @ A multitude of camels shall overwhelm you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:60:7 @ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you; the rams of Nebajoth shall minister to you. They shall come up on My altar and be acceptable to Me, and I will glorify the house of My glory.

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

vw@Isaiah:60:9 @ Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish will come first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you.

vw@Isaiah:60:10 @ And the sons of foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall serve you; for in My wrath I struck you, but in My favor I have had mercy upon you.

vw@Isaiah:60:11 @ Therefore your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day or night, to bring to you the wealth of the nations, and that their kings may be led.

vw@Isaiah:60:12 @ For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish. Yes, those nations will be wasted unto desolation.

vw@Isaiah:60:13 @ The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious.

vw@Isaiah:60:14 @ Also the sons of those who afflicted you shall come bowing to you; and all those who despised you shall prostrate themselves at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you, The City of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:60:16 @ You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and suckle the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

vw@Isaiah:60:18 @ Violence shall no more be heard in your land, neither devastation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.

vw@Isaiah:60:19 @ The sun shall no more be your light by day; nor the brightness of the moon give light to you; but Jehovah will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.

vw@Isaiah:60:20 @ Your sun shall not go down any more, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

vw@Isaiah:60:21 @ Your people also shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.

vw@Isaiah:61:1 @ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

vw@Isaiah:61:2 @ to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

vw@Isaiah:61:3 @ to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified.

vw@Isaiah:61:4 @ And they shall rebuild the old wastes, they shall raise up what was formerly desolated. And they shall repair the waste cities, what lay desolate for many generations.

vw@Isaiah:61:5 @ And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

vw@Isaiah:61:6 @ But you shall be named, The Priests of Jehovah; and they shall call you, Ministers of our God. You shall eat the riches of the nations, and you shall revel in their glory.

vw@Isaiah:61:7 @ Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of reproach they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their own land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.

vw@Isaiah:61:8 @ For I, Jehovah, love justice; I hate stolen things for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

vw@Isaiah:61:9 @ And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the people; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed Jehovah has blessed.

vw@Isaiah:61:10 @ I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garment of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness like a bridegroom adorns himself with ornaments, and like a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

vw@Isaiah:61:11 @ For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes that which is sown to grow; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

vw@Isaiah:62:2 @ And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

vw@Isaiah:62:3 @ You also shall be a crown of glory in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

vw@Isaiah:62:5 @ For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

vw@Isaiah:62:7 @ And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

vw@Isaiah:62:8 @ Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give your grain as food for your enemies; and the children of foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored.

vw@Isaiah:62:9 @ But those who gathered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and those who brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.

vw@Isaiah:62:10 @ Pass! Pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Raise up! Raise up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the people.

vw@Isaiah:62:11 @ Behold, Jehovah has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.

vw@Isaiah:62:12 @ And they shall call them, The Holy People, The Redeemed Of Jehovah; and you shall be called, Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

vw@Isaiah:63:2 @ Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

vw@Isaiah:63:3 @ I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no one with Me; for I tread them in My anger and trample them in My fury, and their blood is sprinkled on My garments, and I have stained all My apparel.

vw@Isaiah:63:4 @ For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.

vw@Isaiah:63:5 @ And I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm has given victory for Me; and My fury sustained Me.

vw@Isaiah:63:6 @ And I will tread down the people in My anger, and make them drunk in My fury, and I will bring down their blood to the earth.

vw@Isaiah:63:7 @ I will mention the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which He has bestowed upon them according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.

vw@Isaiah:63:8 @ For He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not lie; so He was their Savior.

vw@Isaiah:63:9 @ In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

vw@Isaiah:63:10 @ But they rebelled, and grieved His Holy Spirit; therefore He changed, to be their enemy, and He fought against them.

vw@Isaiah:63:11 @ Then He remembered the days of old, Moses and His people, saying, Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within him;

vw@Isaiah:63:12 @ who led them by the right hand of Moses with His glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make for Himself an everlasting name?

vw@Isaiah:63:13 @ He led them through the deep, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they might not stumble.

vw@Isaiah:63:14 @ As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused him to rest. So You led Your people, to make for Yourself a glorious name.

vw@Isaiah:63:15 @ Look down from Heaven, and look down from the place of Your holiness and of Your glory. Where is Your zeal and Your strength, the multitude of Your tender affections and of Your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?

vw@Isaiah:63:16 @ Indeed, You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer; Your name is from everlasting.

vw@Isaiah:63:17 @ O Jehovah, why have You made us wander from Your ways, and hardened our heart from Your fear? For the sake of Your servants, return the tribes of Your inheritance.

vw@Isaiah:63:18 @ The people of Your holiness have possessed it but a little while; our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.

vw@Isaiah:63:19 @ We are from antiquity; You never ruled over them; they were never called by Your name.

vw@Isaiah:64:1 @ Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! That the mountains would quake at Your presence,

vw@Isaiah:64:2 @ as the brushwood fire burns, as the fire causes water to boil; to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

vw@Isaiah:64:3 @ When You did awesome things which we did not look for, You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.

vw@Isaiah:64:4 @ For since ancient times they have not heard, nor been obedient. Eye has not seen any god besides You, who works for him who waits for Him.

vw@Isaiah:64:6 @ But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

vw@Isaiah:64:7 @ And there is no one who calls upon Your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us, and have melted us away because of our iniquities.

vw@Isaiah:64:8 @ But now, O Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the One who forms us; and we all are the work of Your hand.

vw@Isaiah:64:11 @ Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised You, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

vw@Isaiah:64:12 @ Will You restrain Yourself over these things, O Jehovah? Will You be silent and greatly afflict us?

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

vw@Isaiah:65:4 @ who remain among the graves, and spend the night in the tombs, who eat swine’s flesh, and the broth of unclean things in their vessels;

vw@Isaiah:65:5 @ who say, Keep to yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.

vw@Isaiah:65:6 @ Behold, it is written before Me; I will not be silent, but what I will repay; yea, I will repay into their bosom

vw@Isaiah:65:7 @ your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Jehovah, who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed Me on the hills. Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.

vw@Isaiah:65:8 @ Thus says Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it; so I will do to My servants, that I may not destroy them all.

vw@Isaiah:65:9 @ And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who inherits My mountains; and My elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.

vw@Isaiah:65:10 @ And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me.

vw@Isaiah:65:11 @ But you are those who forsake Jehovah, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who furnish the drink offering to Fate.

vw@Isaiah:65:12 @ Therefore I have assigned you to the sword; and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear, but did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I have not delighted.

vw@Isaiah:65:13 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, My servants will eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you shall be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:65:15 @ And you shall leave your name as a curse to My elect; for the Lord Jehovah will kill you, and call His servants by another name.

vw@Isaiah:65:16 @ He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth. And he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from My eyes.

vw@Isaiah:65:17 @ For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. And the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind.

vw@Isaiah:65:19 @ I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, and exulted in My people. And the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

vw@Isaiah:65:20 @ There shall not be an infant of only a few days, nor an old man that has not fulfilled his days. For the child shall die at a hundred years old; but the sinner who is a hundred years old shall be accursed.

vw@Isaiah:65:21 @ And they shall build houses and live in them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

vw@Isaiah:65:22 @ They shall not build, and another live in them; they shall not plant, and another eat. For as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and My elect shall grow old enjoying the work of their hands.

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

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

vw@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, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:1 @ Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?

vw@Isaiah:66:2 @ For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one will I have regard: To the lowly and contrite of spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.

vw@Isaiah:66:3 @ He who kills an ox is as if he killed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb is as if he broke a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering is as if he offered swine’s blood; he who burns incense is as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.

vw@Isaiah:66:4 @ I also will choose the things that delude them, and I will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they have not obeyed. But they did evil before My eyes and have chosen that in which I have not delighted.

vw@Isaiah:66:5 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, you who tremble at His Word: Your brothers who hated you, who cast you out because of My name, said, Let Jehovah be glorified. But He will appear for your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:66:6 @ A roaring sound from the city, a sound from the temple, the sound of Jehovah repaying His enemies.

vw@Isaiah:66:7 @ Before she writhed in labor, she gave birth; before her pangs came, she delivered a male child.

vw@Isaiah:66:8 @ Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion had gone into labor, she had brought forth her children.

vw@Isaiah:66:9 @ Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth, says Jehovah? Shall I beget, and then restrain the womb? says your God.

vw@Isaiah:66:11 @ that you may suckle and be satisfied with her comforting breasts; that you may suck milk and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

vw@Isaiah:66:12 @ For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream. Then you shall suckle, you shall be carried on her sides and be dandled upon her knees.

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

vw@Isaiah:66:14 @ And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass. And the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward His servants, and His indignation toward His enemies.

vw@Isaiah:66:16 @ For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will judge all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.

vw@Isaiah:66:17 @ Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves to go into the garden after an idol that is in its midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall come to an end together, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:18 @ For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall come to pass that I will gather all the nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

vw@Isaiah:66:19 @ And I will set a sign among them. And those among them who escape I will send to the nations; to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud (who draw the bow), to Tubal, and Javan; to the far away coasts that have not heard of My fame, nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the nations.

vw@Isaiah:66:20 @ And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to Jehovah out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:21 @ And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah.

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

vw@Isaiah:66:23 @ And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to bow down before Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:24 @ And they shall go out and observe the dead corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me. For their worm does not die, nor is their fire quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

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

vw@Jeremiah:1:2 @ to whom the Word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

vw@Jeremiah:1:3 @ It also came in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away captive of Jerusalem in the fifth month.

vw@Jeremiah:1:4 @ Then, the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:1:5 @ Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

vw@Jeremiah:1:6 @ Then I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.

vw@Jeremiah:1:8 @ Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:1:10 @ Behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

vw@Jeremiah:1:11 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

vw@Jeremiah:1:13 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot; and its face is facing north.

vw@Jeremiah:1:14 @ And Jehovah said to me, Out of the north an evil will be unleashed upon all the inhabitants of the land.

vw@Jeremiah:1:15 @ For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah; and they shall come, and they shall each one set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:1:16 @ And I will pronounce My judgments against them regarding all their evil, those who have forsaken Me, and burned incense to other gods, and bowed down to the works of their own hands.

vw@Jeremiah:1:17 @ You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at their faces, lest I shame you before them.

vw@Jeremiah:1:18 @ For behold, I have made you a fortified city this day, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its rulers, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

vw@Jeremiah:1:19 @ And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you, says Jehovah, to deliver you.

vw@Jeremiah:2:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:2:2 @ Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Jehovah, I remember you, the kindness of your youth, the love of your betrothals, when you went after Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.

vw@Jeremiah:2:3 @ Israel was holiness to Jehovah, and the firstfruits of His increase. All that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:4 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:2:5 @ Thus says Jehovah, What injustice have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?

vw@Jeremiah:2:6 @ Nor did they say, Where is Jehovah who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of dry places, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man lived?

vw@Jeremiah:2:8 @ The priests did not say, Where is Jehovah? And they who handle the Law did not know Me; the shepherds also rebelled against Me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

vw@Jeremiah:2:9 @ Therefore I will contend with you, says Jehovah, and with your children’s children I will make a complaint.

vw@Jeremiah:2:10 @ For pass over the coasts of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider carefully, and see if there is such a thing.

vw@Jeremiah:2:11 @ Has a nation changed their gods, which are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory for that which does not profit.

vw@Jeremiah:2:13 @ For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of Living Waters, to hew out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

vw@Jeremiah:2:15 @ The young lions roared against him; they uttered their voice. And they made his land a waste; his cities are burned without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:2:16 @ Also the children of Noph and Tahpanhes have fed on your crown.

vw@Jeremiah:2:17 @ Have you not brought this upon yourself, in that you have forsaken Jehovah your God, when He led you by the way?

vw@Jeremiah:2:18 @ And now what are you doing on the way toward Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? Or what are you doing, going toward Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?

vw@Jeremiah:2:19 @ Your own evil shall correct you, and your backslidings shall reprove you. Therefore know and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken Jehovah your God, and that My fear is not in you, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:2:21 @ Yet I planted you a noble vine, a true seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate shoots of an alien vine to Me?

vw@Jeremiah:2:22 @ For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is stained before Me, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:23 @ How can you say, I am not defiled; I have not gone after the Baals? See your way in the valley, know what you have done! You are a swift camel crisscrossing its ways.

vw@Jeremiah:2:24 @ A wild ass used to the wilderness, in her cravings she sniffs at the wind; when she is in heat who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they will find her.

vw@Jeremiah:2:25 @ Withhold your foot from being bare, and your throat from thirst. But you said, There is no hope. No! For I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.

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

vw@Jeremiah:2:27 @ saying to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You gave birth to me. For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face; but in the time of their distress they will say, Arise and save us!

vw@Jeremiah:2:28 @ But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your distress; for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:30 @ In vain I have chastened your children; they received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

vw@Jeremiah:2:31 @ O generation, see the Word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, We roam freely; we will come no more to You?

vw@Jeremiah:2:33 @ Why do you beautify your way to seek love? Therefore you have also taught the evil women your ways.

vw@Jeremiah:2:34 @ Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents; I did not find them by secret search, but plainly on all these.

vw@Jeremiah:2:37 @ Indeed, you shall go out from this place, with your hands on your head. For Jehovah has rejected those in whom you trust, and you will not prosper by them.

vw@Jeremiah:3:1 @ They say, If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man’s, shall he return to her again? Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have committed adultery with many lovers; yet turn back to Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:3:2 @ Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights, and see. Where have you not been lain with and ravished? By the highways you have sat for them, like an Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your harlotry and with your evil.

vw@Jeremiah:3:3 @ Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; and you had a harlot’s forehead; you refused to be ashamed.

vw@Jeremiah:3:4 @ Will you not now cry to Me, My father, You are the guide of my youth?

vw@Jeremiah:3:5 @ Will He keep His anger forever? Will He keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done all the evil things you could.

vw@Jeremiah:3:6 @ Jehovah also said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has committed adultery there.

vw@Jeremiah:3:7 @ And after she had done all these things I said, Turn back to Me! But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

vw@Jeremiah:3:8 @ And I saw, when for all the causes for which backsliding Israel committed adultery, I put her away and gave her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she also went and committed adultery.

vw@Jeremiah:3:9 @ So it came to pass through the wantonness of her harlotry, that she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and pieces of wood.

vw@Jeremiah:3:12 @ Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, O backsliding Israel, says Jehovah; and I will not cause My anger to fall upon you; for I am merciful, says Jehovah, and I will not keep anger forever.

vw@Jeremiah:3:16 @ And it shall come to pass, when you have multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says Jehovah, that they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah! Nor shall it come to mind; nor shall they remember it; nor shall they seek it; nor shall it be made anymore.

vw@Jeremiah:3:17 @ At that time Jerusalem shall be called, The Throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem. Nor shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil hearts.

vw@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 have given for an inheritance to your fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:3:19 @ But I said, How shall I put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a beautiful inheritance among the multitudes of nations! And I said, You shall call Me, My Father, and shall not turn away from Me.

vw@Jeremiah:3:21 @ A voice was heard on the desolate heights; weeping and supplications of the children of Israel; for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten Jehovah their God.

vw@Jeremiah:3:23 @ Truly, deception comes from the high hills, from the multitudes on the mountains. Truly, in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:3:24 @ For shame has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

vw@Jeremiah:3:25 @ We lie down in our shame, and our reproach covers us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God.

vw@Jeremiah:4:1 @ If you will return, O Israel, says Jehovah, return to Me. And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, then you shall not waver.

vw@Jeremiah:4:2 @ And you shall swear, Jehovah lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him they shall glory.

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

vw@Jeremiah:4:4 @ Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

vw@Jeremiah:4:5 @ Declare in Judah, and let it be heard in Jerusalem; and say, Blow the shofar in the land; cry out, gather together, and say, Gather yourselves and let us go into the fortified cities.

vw@Jeremiah:4:6 @ Set up the standard toward Zion, take refuge, do not wait around; for I will bring evil from the north, and great destruction.

vw@Jeremiah:4:7 @ The lion has come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the nations has set out; he has gone forth from his place to make your land a waste. Your cities will fall into ruins without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:4:8 @ Put on sackcloth for this, wail and howl; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.

vw@Jeremiah:4:9 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the rulers; and the priests shall be appalled, and the prophets shall be stunned.

vw@Jeremiah:4:10 @ Then I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches to the soul.

vw@Jeremiah:4:11 @ At that time it shall be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind from the desolate heights in the wilderness blows toward the daughter of My people, not to sift nor to cleanse.

vw@Jeremiah:4:12 @ A full wind from these places shall come unto Me. Now also I will pronounce judgment against them.

vw@Jeremiah:4:16 @ Tell it to the nations: Behold! proclaim against Jerusalem! Watchers are going to come from a distant land; and they will utter their voice against the cities of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:4:17 @ Like keepers of a field, they are against her all around; because she has rebelled against Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:4:18 @ Your way and your doings have procured these things for you; this is your evil, because it is bitter, because it reaches to your heart.

vw@Jeremiah:4:19 @ My stomach, my stomach! I am convulsed to my heart! My heart groans within me; I cannot be silent because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the shofar, the alarm of war.

vw@Jeremiah:4:20 @ Destruction upon destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is devastated. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, my curtains in a moment.

vw@Jeremiah:4:21 @ How long shall I see the standard and hear the sound of the shofar?

vw@Jeremiah:4:22 @ For My people are foolish; they have not known Me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

vw@Jeremiah:4:23 @ I looked on the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

vw@Jeremiah:4:24 @ I looked on the mountains, and, lo, they quaked; and all the hills moved to and fro.

vw@Jeremiah:4:25 @ I looked, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled.

vw@Jeremiah:4:26 @ I looked, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, before His fierce anger.

vw@Jeremiah:4:27 @ For thus Jehovah has said, The whole land shall be desolate, yet I will not make a full end.

vw@Jeremiah:4:28 @ The earth shall mourn for this, and the heavens above shall be black, because I have spoken, I have purposed, and will not be moved to pity, nor will I turn back from it.

vw@Jeremiah:4:29 @ Every city shall flee at the sound of the horsemen and bowmen. They shall go into thickets and climb up among the rocks. Every city is abandoned, and not a man shall live in them.

vw@Jeremiah:4:30 @ And you, what will you do when you are ruined? Though you dress with crimson, though you put on ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes large with paint, you shall make yourself beautiful in vain; your lovers will despise you; they will seek your life.

vw@Jeremiah:4:31 @ For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor, the anguish as of one bearing her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, gasping and spreading her hands, saying, Woe to me now! For my soul is weary because of murderers.

vw@Jeremiah:5:1 @ Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her open places, if you can find a man, if there is one who does justice, who seeks the truth; and I will pardon her.

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

vw@Jeremiah:5:3 @ O Jehovah, are not Your eyes on the truth? You have stricken them, but they have not grieved; You have destroyed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to return.

vw@Jeremiah:5:4 @ So I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they do not know the way of Jehovah, nor the judgment of their God.

vw@Jeremiah:5:5 @ I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of Jehovah and the judgment of their God. But these have broken the yoke together and have torn off the bonds!

vw@Jeremiah:5:6 @ Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them, and a wolf of the deserts shall destroy them; a leopard shall watch over their cities. Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many and their backslidings are increased.

vw@Jeremiah:5:7 @ How shall I pardon you for this? Your children have forsaken Me, and have sworn by those that are not gods. When I adjured them, then they committed adultery, and gathered themselves by troops in a harlot’s house.

vw@Jeremiah:5:8 @ They were like lusty, well-fed stallions in the morning; every one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

vw@Jeremiah:5:9 @ Shall I not punish for these things? says Jehovah. And shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

vw@Jeremiah:5:10 @ Go up on her vine rows and destroy; but do not make a full end; take away her branches, for they are not Jehovah’s.

vw@Jeremiah:5:11 @ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, says Jehovah.

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

vw@Jeremiah:5:13 @ And the prophets shall become wind, for the Word is not in them; thus it shall be done to them.

vw@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make My Words in your mouth fire, and these people wood, and it shall devour them.

vw@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Lo, I will bring a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel, says Jehovah. It is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor understand what they say.

vw@Jeremiah:5:16 @ Their quiver is as an open grave; they are all mighty men.

vw@Jeremiah:5:17 @ And they shall eat up your harvest and your bread. They will devour your sons and your daughters. They shall eat up your flocks and your herds; they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees. They shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.

vw@Jeremiah:5:19 @ And it will be when you shall say, Why does Jehovah our God do all these things to us? then you shall answer them, Just as you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

vw@Jeremiah:5:20 @ Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:5:22 @ Do you not fear Me? says Jehovah. Will you not tremble at My presence, I who have placed the sand for the boundary of the sea by a perpetual decree, so that it cannot pass it? And though its waves toss to and fro, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it?

vw@Jeremiah:5:23 @ But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and departed.

vw@Jeremiah:5:24 @ Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, who gives both the former and the latter rain in its season; He reserves unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

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

vw@Jeremiah:5:26 @ For among My people are found wicked ones; they lie in wait, as one who sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

vw@Jeremiah:5:27 @ Like a cage full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit; therefore they have become great and grown rich.

vw@Jeremiah:5:28 @ They have grown fat, they gleam. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may get rich; and they do not judge the right of the needy.

vw@Jeremiah:5:29 @ Shall I not punish for these things? says Jehovah. Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

vw@Jeremiah:5:30 @ An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land.

vw@Jeremiah:5:31 @ The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their own power; and my people love to have it so, and what will you do in the end?

vw@Jeremiah:6:1 @ O children of Benjamin, seek refuge out of the midst of Jerusalem. Blow the shofar in Tekoa, and set up a signal-fire in Beth-haccerem; for evil appears out of the north, and great destruction.

vw@Jeremiah:6:2 @ I will destroy the daughter of Zion, being delicate in her dwelling place.

vw@Jeremiah:6:3 @ The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch tents against her all around; they shall feed each one in his place.

vw@Jeremiah:6:4 @ Prepare war against her; arise and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day goes away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

vw@Jeremiah:6:6 @ For thus has Jehovah of Hosts said, Cut down trees and cast a mound against Jerusalem! This is the city to be punished; she is full of oppression in her midst.

vw@Jeremiah:6:9 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine; as a grape gatherer, put your hand back to the branches.

vw@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. Behold, the Word of Jehovah is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it.

vw@Jeremiah:6:11 @ Therefore I am full of the fury of Jehovah; I am weary with holding it in; I will pour it out on the children outside, and on the group of young men together. For even the husband shall be taken along with the wife, the aged who is full of days.

vw@Jeremiah:6:12 @ And their houses shall be turned over to others, together with their fields and wives; for I will stretch out My hand upon the inhabitants of the land, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:6:13 @ For everyone from the least of them even to the greatest of them profits from unjust gain; and from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

vw@Jeremiah:6:14 @ They have also healed the ruin of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

vw@Jeremiah:6:15 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush; therefore they shall fall among those who fall. At the time that I punish them they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:6:16 @ Thus says Jehovah, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.

vw@Jeremiah:6:17 @ Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Listen to the sound of the shofar. But they said, We will not listen.

vw@Jeremiah:6:18 @ Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is coming upon them.

vw@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth; behold, I will bring evil on this people, the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My Words, nor My Law, but rejected it.

vw@Jeremiah:6:20 @ For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not pleasing, nor are your sacrifices sweet to Me.

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

vw@Jeremiah:6:22 @ Thus says Jehovah, Behold, a people comes from the land of the north, and a great nation shall be aroused from the extremities of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:6:23 @ They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, set in array against you as men of war, O daughter of Zion.

vw@Jeremiah:6:24 @ We have heard the rumor of it; our hands become feeble; anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in labor.

vw@Jeremiah:6:25 @ Do not go out into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear are on every side.

vw@Jeremiah:6:26 @ O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth, and wallow in ashes; make mourning for yourself, as for an only son, most bitter wailing; for the destruction shall suddenly come upon us.

vw@Jeremiah:6:27 @ I have set you up as an inspector, and a fortress among My people, that you may know and examine their way.

vw@Jeremiah:6:28 @ They all stubbornly rebel, walking in slanders; they are bronze and iron; they are all corrupters.

vw@Jeremiah:6:29 @ The bellows are scorched, the lead is consumed by the fire; the refiner melts in vain; for the wicked are not drawn off.

vw@Jeremiah:6:30 @ Rejected silver they call them, because Jehovah has rejected them.

vw@Jeremiah:7:1 @ The Word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:7:2 @ Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and proclaim there this Word, and say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, all Judah, who enter in at these gates to bow down to Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:7:3 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Make your ways and your doings good, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:7:4 @ Do not trust in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah, This is the temple of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:7:6 @ if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your hurt;

vw@Jeremiah:7:7 @ then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.

vw@Jeremiah:7:9 @ Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know;

vw@Jeremiah:7:10 @ and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all those abominations?

vw@Jeremiah:7:12 @ But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of My people Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, because you have done all these works, says Jehovah, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer;

vw@Jeremiah:7:14 @ therefore I will do to this house, which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

vw@Jeremiah:7:15 @ And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, the whole seed of Ephraim.

vw@Jeremiah:7:16 @ Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry nor prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you.

vw@Jeremiah:7:17 @ Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

vw@Jeremiah:7:18 @ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.

vw@Jeremiah:7:19 @ Do they provoke Me to anger? says Jehovah. Is it not themselves, to the shame of their own faces.

vw@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, My anger and My fury shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

vw@Jeremiah:7:21 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Snatch away your burnt offerings from your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

vw@Jeremiah:7:22 @ For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.

vw@Jeremiah:7:23 @ But this is what I commanded them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people; and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.

vw@Jeremiah:7:24 @ But they did not listen, nor extend their ear, but walked in their own plans, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.

vw@Jeremiah:7:25 @ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

vw@Jeremiah:7:26 @ Yet they did not listen to Me, nor extend their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:7:27 @ Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; you shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

vw@Jeremiah:7:28 @ But you shall say to them, This is a nation which does not obey the voice of Jehovah their God, nor receives instruction; truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

vw@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off your hair and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the desolate heights. For Jehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

vw@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the sons of Judah have done evil in My eyes, says Jehovah. They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, in order to defile it.

vw@Jeremiah:7:31 @ They have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command them, nor did it even come into My heart.

vw@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Tophet, until there is no more room.

vw@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and no one will frighten them away.

vw@Jeremiah:7:34 @ Then I will cause the voice of gladness to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. For the land shall be desolate.

vw@Jeremiah:8:1 @ At that time, says Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.

vw@Jeremiah:8:2 @ And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of the heavens, which they have loved and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have bowed down. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:8:3 @ And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the rest of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah, Shall they fall and not arise? Shall he turn away and not return?

vw@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why has this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a continual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return.

vw@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I listened and heard, but they did not speak right; no man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turned to his own course, as a horse rushes into the battle.

vw@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know the judgment of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How can you say, We are wise, and the Law of Jehovah is with us? Lo, certainly the lying pen of the scribes has written falsehood.

vw@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise are ashamed, they are dismayed, and are captured. Lo, they have rejected the Word of Jehovah; so what wisdom is in them?

vw@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall inherit them, for everyone from the least even to the greatest profits from unjust gain. From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

vw@Jeremiah:8:11 @ For they have healed the ruin of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

vw@Jeremiah:8:12 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abominations? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; in the time of their punishment they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, says Jehovah; there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; I give them to those who pass through.

vw@Jeremiah:8:14 @ Why do we sit still? Gather yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there. For Jehovah our God has put us to silence, and has given us bitter water to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan; the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his valiant ones. For they have come, and devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those who live in it.

vw@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send serpents and vipers among you, which cannot be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land. Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her King in her? Why have they provoked Me to anger with their graven images, with foreign vanities?

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

vw@Jeremiah:8:21 @ For the ruin of the daughter of my people I am broken; I am in gloom; horror has seized me.

vw@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the healing of the daughter of my people not come?

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

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

vw@Jeremiah:9:3 @ And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies. But they are not mighty for the truth on the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Everyone beware of his neighbor, and do not trust any brother! For every brother will supplant and assail his neighbor, and will walk with slanderers.

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

vw@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Behold, I will refine them and try them; for how else shall I deal with the daughter of My people?

vw@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is a slaughtering arrow; it speaks deceit; one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait.

vw@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not punish them for these things? says Jehovah; shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

vw@Jeremiah:9:10 @ I will take up a weeping and a wailing for the mountains, and a lamentation for the pastures of the wilderness; because they are burned up, so that no one can pass through them; nor can men hear the voice of the cattle. Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

vw@Jeremiah:9:11 @ And I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:9:12 @ Who is the wise man who may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of Jehovah has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

vw@Jeremiah:9:13 @ And Jehovah says, Because they have forsaken My Law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, and have not walked in it,

vw@Jeremiah:9:14 @ but they have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.

vw@Jeremiah:9:15 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and make them drink bitter water.

vw@Jeremiah:9:16 @ I will also scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.

vw@Jeremiah:9:17 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Consider carefully, and call for those who lament, that they may come. And send for the wise women, that they may come;

vw@Jeremiah:9:18 @ and let them make haste and take up a lamentation for us, so that our eyes may run down with tears, and waters flow from our eyelids.

vw@Jeremiah:9:19 @ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion. How we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because they have thrown down our tents.

vw@Jeremiah:9:20 @ Yet hear the Word of Jehovah, O women, and let your ear receive the Word of His mouth, and teach your daughters a mourning song, and each one teach her neighbor a lamentation.

vw@Jeremiah:9:21 @ For death has come up into our windows, and has entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from outside and the young men from the streets.

vw@Jeremiah:9:22 @ Speak, Thus says Jehovah, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the fallen grain after the reaper; and no one shall gather them.

vw@Jeremiah:9:23 @ Thus says Jehovah, Let not the wise glory in his wisdom, nor let the mighty glory in his might; let not the rich glory in his riches;

vw@Jeremiah:9:24 @ but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am Jehovah, doing kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:9:25 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will punish all the circumcised along with the uncircumcised;

vw@Jeremiah:9:26 @ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all who are in the remotest quarters, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.

vw@Jeremiah:10:1 @ Hear the Word which Jehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:10:2 @ Thus says Jehovah, Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.

vw@Jeremiah:10:3 @ For the customs of the people are vain; for one cuts a tree out of the forest with the ax, the work of the hands of the craftsman.

vw@Jeremiah:10:4 @ They make it beautiful with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers, so that it will not totter.

vw@Jeremiah:10:5 @ They are crafted into hammered work like a palm tree, and they cannot speak. They must be lifted up and carried, because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them; for they are not able to do evil, neither is it in them to do good.

vw@Jeremiah:10:6 @ There is none like You, O Jehovah; You are great, and Your name is great in might.

vw@Jeremiah:10:7 @ Who would not fear You, O King of nations? For fear is befitting to You, because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

vw@Jeremiah:10:8 @ But they are, every one of them, dull-hearted and foolish; a piece of wood is a discipline in vanities.

vw@Jeremiah:10:9 @ Silver beaten into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman, and of the hands of the goldsmith. Violet and purple is their clothing; they are all the work of skillful ones.

vw@Jeremiah:10:10 @ But Jehovah is the true God, He is the living God, and the eternal King. At His wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to endure His indignation.

vw@Jeremiah:10:11 @ So you shall say to them, The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth, they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.

vw@Jeremiah:10:12 @ He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

vw@Jeremiah:10:13 @ When He utters His voice, there is the noise of much water in the heavens. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightnings with the rain, and brings forth the wind out of His treasures.

vw@Jeremiah:10:14 @ Every man is stupid in his knowledge; every refiner is dried up by the graven image; for his molten image is a lie, and no breath is in them.

vw@Jeremiah:10:15 @ They are vanity, the work of delusion; in the time of their judgment they shall perish.

vw@Jeremiah:10:16 @ The Portion of Jacob is not like them; for He is the Maker of all things; and Israel is the rod of His inheritance. Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

vw@Jeremiah:10:17 @ Gather up your bundle from the ground, you who live under the siege.

vw@Jeremiah:10:18 @ For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land this once, and will distress them, so that they may find Me.

vw@Jeremiah:10:20 @ My tent is plundered, and all my cords are broken; my children have gone away from me, and they are not. There is no one to stretch out my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

vw@Jeremiah:10:21 @ For the shepherds have become stupid, and have not sought Jehovah, therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

vw@Jeremiah:10:22 @ Behold, the sound of the report has come, and a great commotion out of the land of the north, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a den of dragons.

vw@Jeremiah:10:23 @ O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.

vw@Jeremiah:10:25 @ Pour out Your fury on the nations who do not know You, and on the families who do not call on Your name; for they have eaten up Jacob and have devoured him, and have destroyed him, and have made his dwelling place desolate.

vw@Jeremiah:11:1 @ The Word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah saying,

vw@Jeremiah:11:2 @ Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

vw@Jeremiah:11:3 @ and say to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,

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

vw@Jeremiah:11:5 @ so that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered and said, Amen, O Jehovah.

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

vw@Jeremiah:11:7 @ For I admonished and testified to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, Obey My voice.

vw@Jeremiah:11:8 @ Yet they did not obey nor extend their ear, but walked each one in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did not do them.

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

vw@Jeremiah:11:10 @ They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear My Words. And they went 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.

vw@Jeremiah:11:11 @ Therefore Jehovah says this: Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to Me, I will not listen to them.

vw@Jeremiah:11:12 @ Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense. But they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

vw@Jeremiah:11:13 @ For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to that shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.

vw@Jeremiah:11:14 @ Therefore, do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble.

vw@Jeremiah:11:15 @ What is My beloved doing in My house, since she has worked out many evil devices? Has the holy flesh taken away your evil from you? How then do you rejoice?

vw@Jeremiah:11:17 @ For Jehovah of Hosts who planted you has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger by offering incense to Baal.

vw@Jeremiah:11:18 @ And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I made it known; for You showed me their doings.

vw@Jeremiah:11:19 @ But I was like a docile lamb being led to the slaughter. And I did not know that they had devised schemes against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may be remembered no more.

vw@Jeremiah:11:20 @ But, O Jehovah of Hosts, who judges righteously, who tries the mind and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For to You I have laid open my cause.

vw@Jeremiah:11:21 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that you do not die by our hand.

vw@Jeremiah:11:22 @ Thus says 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;

vw@Jeremiah:11:23 @ and there shall be no remnant of them. For I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment.

vw@Jeremiah:12:1 @ Righteous are You, O Jehovah, when I complain to You; yet let me speak with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those who deceive with treachery at ease?

vw@Jeremiah:12:2 @ You have planted them; yea, they take root. They grow, yea, they bring forth fruit. You are near in their mouth, but far from their heart.

vw@Jeremiah:12:3 @ But You, O Jehovah, know me. You have seen me and tried my heart toward You. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and consecrate them for the day of slaughter.

vw@Jeremiah:12:4 @ How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither from the evil of those who dwell in it? The beasts and the birds have been swept away; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

vw@Jeremiah:12:5 @ If you have run with footmen, and they wore you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if you feel secure in the land of peace, then how will you do in the swelling of the Jordan?

vw@Jeremiah:12:6 @ For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you. Yea, they have called out a multitude after you. Do not believe them, though they speak pleasant things to you.

vw@Jeremiah:12:7 @ I have forsaken My house; I have left My inheritance. I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.

vw@Jeremiah:12:8 @ My inheritance is to Me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against Me; therefore I have hated it.

vw@Jeremiah:12:9 @ My inheritance is like a speckled bird to Me; the birds all around are against her. Go, gather all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.

vw@Jeremiah:12:10 @ Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; they have trampled My portion under foot; they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

vw@Jeremiah:12:11 @ They have made it a desolation. Being desolate, it mourns to Me. The whole land is made desolate because no man lays it to heart.

vw@Jeremiah:12:12 @ The plunderers have come upon all high places through the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah shall devour from one end of the land even to the other end of the land. No flesh shall have peace.

vw@Jeremiah:12:13 @ They have sown wheat, but reap thorns. They have tired themselves out, but to no profit. And they shall be ashamed of your harvests because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:12:14 @ Thus says Jehovah against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

vw@Jeremiah:12:15 @ And it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each man to his inheritance and each man to his land.

vw@Jeremiah:12:16 @ And it shall be, if they will carefully learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, As Jehovah lives (as they taught the people to swear by Baal), then they shall be established in the midst of My people.

vw@Jeremiah:12:17 @ But if they will not obey, I will pull up, root out, and destroy that nation, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:13:2 @ So I bought a waistband according to the Word of Jehovah, and put it around my waist.

vw@Jeremiah:13:3 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me a second time, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:13:4 @ Take the waistband that you bought, which is around your waist, and arise. Go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

vw@Jeremiah:13:6 @ And it came to pass at the end of many days that Jehovah said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates and take the waistband from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

vw@Jeremiah:13:7 @ Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. And, behold, the waistband was rotten; it was good for nothing.

vw@Jeremiah:13:8 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:13:9 @ Thus says Jehovah, In this way I will spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:13:10 @ This evil people, who refuse to hear My Words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart and walk after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, shall even be like this waistband, which is good for nothing.

vw@Jeremiah:13:11 @ For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me, says Jehovah; so that they might be a people unto Me, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hear.

vw@Jeremiah:13:12 @ So you shall speak to them this Word: Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine. And they shall say to you, Do we not perceive to know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

vw@Jeremiah:13:13 @ Then you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

vw@Jeremiah:13:14 @ And I will smash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but will destroy them.

vw@Jeremiah:13:16 @ Give glory to Jehovah your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.

vw@Jeremiah:13:18 @ Say to the king and to the queen mother, Humble yourselves; sit down, for your dominion has come down, even the crown of your glory.

vw@Jeremiah:13:19 @ The cities of the south have been shut up, and no one is opening; Judah has been exiled, all of it has been completely carried away captive.

vw@Jeremiah:13:20 @ Lift up your eyes and look at those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful sheep?

vw@Jeremiah:13:21 @ What will you say when he punishes you? For you have taught them to be chief rulers over you. Do not pangs seize you, like a woman in travail?

vw@Jeremiah:13:22 @ And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come upon me? It is because of the greatness of your iniquity; your skirts have been uncovered, and your heels have suffered violence.

vw@Jeremiah:13:23 @ Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard its spots? Then you also may do good, who are accustomed to doing evil.

vw@Jeremiah:13:24 @ Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.

vw@Jeremiah:13:25 @ This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you, says Jehovah, because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.

vw@Jeremiah:13:26 @ Therefore I also have drawn up your skirts over your face, that your shame may be seen.

vw@Jeremiah:13:27 @ I have seen your adulteries, and your neighings, the lewdness of your harlotry, and your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! Will you not be made clean? How long will it still be?

vw@Jeremiah:14:1 @ The Word of Jehovah that came unto Jeremiah concerning the droughts.

vw@Jeremiah:14:2 @ Judah mourns, and its gates languish. They mourn for the land, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

vw@Jeremiah:14:3 @ And their nobles have sent their little ones for water; they came to the cisterns, and found no water. They returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

vw@Jeremiah:14:4 @ Because the ground is parched, for there was no rain on the earth, the plowmen were ashamed; they covered their heads.

vw@Jeremiah:14:5 @ Yea, the doe also gave birth in the field and abandoned it, because there was no grass.

vw@Jeremiah:14:6 @ And the wild asses stood in the high places; they sniffed at the wind like dragons; their eyes failed because there was no grass.

vw@Jeremiah:14:8 @ O the Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of trouble, why should You be like a sojourner in the land, and like a traveler who turns aside to lodge for the night?

vw@Jeremiah:14:10 @ Thus says Jehovah to this people: Thus they have loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet; therefore Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity and punish their sins.

vw@Jeremiah:14:11 @ Then Jehovah said to me, Do not pray for this people for their good.

vw@Jeremiah:14:12 @ When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

vw@Jeremiah:14:13 @ Then I said, Ah, O Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets are saying to them, You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine; but I will give you sure peace in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:14:14 @ And Jehovah said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name; I did not send them, nor have I commanded them, nor did I speak to them. They prophesy to you a false vision and a worthless divination, and a thing of no value, and the deceit of their heart.

vw@Jeremiah:14:15 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, when I did not send them (yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land): by sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.

vw@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 no one to bury them; either them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters. For I will pour their evil upon them.

vw@Jeremiah:14:17 @ Therefore you shall speak this word to them: Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and do not let them cease. For the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great break, with a sickening blow.

vw@Jeremiah:14:18 @ If I go out into the field, then I see those killed with the sword! And if I enter into the city, then, behold, those that are sick from famine! Yes, both the prophet and the priest have gone up into a land that they do not know.

vw@Jeremiah:14:19 @ Have You utterly rejected Judah? Has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us such that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for the time of healing, and behold, terror!

vw@Jeremiah:14:20 @ We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against You.

vw@Jeremiah:14:21 @ Do not abhor us; for Your name’s sake do not disgrace the throne of Your glory; remember, do not break Your covenant with us.

vw@Jeremiah:14:22 @ Are there any among the vain idols of the nations who can make it rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, O Jehovah our God. Therefore we will wait upon You; for You have made all these things.

vw@Jeremiah:15:1 @ Then Jehovah said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My soul could not be inclined toward this people. Send them out of My sight, and let them go out.

vw@Jeremiah:15:2 @ And it shall come to pass that if they say to you, Where shall we go? Then you shall tell them, Thus says Jehovah: Those who are for death, to death; and those for the sword, to the sword; and those for the famine, to the famine; and those for the captivity, to the captivity.

vw@Jeremiah:15:3 @ And I will set over them four kinds, says Jehovah; the sword to kill, and the dogs to drag, and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

vw@Jeremiah:15:4 @ And I will make them a horror to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:15:6 @ You have forsaken Me, says Jehovah; you have gone backward; therefore I will stretch out My hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with sorrow.

vw@Jeremiah:15:7 @ And I will winnow them with a pitch fork in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will destroy My people, since they have not turned back from their ways.

vw@Jeremiah:15:8 @ Their widows are more numerous around Me than the sand of the seas; I have brought on them, against a mother of a young man, a plunderer at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall suddenly upon the city.

vw@Jeremiah:15:9 @ She who bore seven languishes; she has breathed out her life; her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been ashamed and confounded; and I will deliver the rest of them to the sword before their enemies, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:15:10 @ Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither loaned with usury, nor have men loaned to me; yet every one curses me.

vw@Jeremiah:15:11 @ Jehovah said, Truly I will not free you for good. Truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

vw@Jeremiah:15:12 @ Can anyone break iron, iron or bronze from the north?

vw@Jeremiah:15:16 @ Your Words were found, and I ate them; and Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O Jehovah the God of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:15:17 @ I did not sit in the council of the mockers, nor rejoice; I sat alone because of Your hand; for You have filled me with indignation.

vw@Jeremiah:15:19 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, If you turn back, then I will bring you back again; you shall stand before Me. And if you take the precious out from the vile, you shall be as My mouth. Let them turn back to you, but do not return to them.

vw@Jeremiah:15:20 @ And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:15:21 @ And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the grip of the terrible.

vw@Jeremiah:16:1 @ The Word of Jehovah also came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:16:3 @ For thus says Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land:

vw@Jeremiah:16:4 @ They shall die from deaths of diseases; they shall not be mourned, nor shall they be buried. But they shall be as dung on the face of the earth. They shall be destroyed by the sword and by famine; and their carcasses shall be food for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:16:5 @ For thus says Jehovah, Do not enter into the house of mourning; do not go to weep nor bemoan them. For I have taken away My peace from this people, says Jehovah, even lovingkindness and mercies.

vw@Jeremiah:16:6 @ Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, nor shall men mourn for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them.

vw@Jeremiah:16:7 @ Nor shall anyone break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Nor shall anyone give them the cup of comfort to drink for their father or for their mother.

vw@Jeremiah:16:8 @ Also you shall not go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

vw@Jeremiah:16:9 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause the voice of mirth to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, and the voice of gladness, and the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

vw@Jeremiah:16:10 @ And it shall be, when you proclaim to this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Why has Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity, or what is our sin that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?

vw@Jeremiah:16:11 @ Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken Me, says Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have bowed down to them, and have forsaken Me, and have not kept My Law.

vw@Jeremiah:16:12 @ And you have done worse than your fathers; for behold, you walk, each one, after the stubbornness of his evil heart, and do not listen to Me.

vw@Jeremiah:16:13 @ Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; where I will not grant you favor.

vw@Jeremiah:16:14 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

vw@Jeremiah:16:15 @ but rather, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where He had driven them. For I will bring them back into their land that I gave to their fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:16:16 @ Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Jehovah, and they will fish for them. And afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

vw@Jeremiah:16:17 @ For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.

vw@Jeremiah:16:18 @ And first I will repay double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land, they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.

vw@Jeremiah:16:19 @ O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

vw@Jeremiah:16:20 @ Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

vw@Jeremiah:16:21 @ Therefore behold, this once I will make them know; I will cause them to know My hand and My might; and they shall know that My name is Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:17:1 @ The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus; it is engraved on the tablet of the heart and on the horns of Your altar with the point of a diamond;

vw@Jeremiah:17:2 @ while their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees on the high hills.

vw@Jeremiah:17:3 @ O My mountain in the field, I will give your wealth and all your treasures for plunder, and your high places for sin, throughout all your borders.

vw@Jeremiah:17:4 @ And you, even yourself, have let go of the inheritance which I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land which you do not know. For you have kindled a fire in My anger, which shall burn forever.

vw@Jeremiah:17:5 @ Thus says Jehovah, Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart departs from Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:17:6 @ For he shall be destitute in the wilderness, and shall not see when good comes. But he shall live in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land that is not inhabited.

vw@Jeremiah:17:7 @ Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, and Jehovah is his refuge.

vw@Jeremiah:17:8 @ For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters; it sends out its roots by the river, and it shall not fear when the heat comes, but its foliage shall be green; and he is not anxious in the year of drought, nor will it cease from yielding fruit.

vw@Jeremiah:17:9 @ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

vw@Jeremiah:17:10 @ I Jehovah search the heart, I examine the soul, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

vw@Jeremiah:17:11 @ The partridge sets on eggs and does not hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end he shall be a fool.

vw@Jeremiah:17:12 @ A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

vw@Jeremiah:17:13 @ O Jehovah, the Hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be ashamed. Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the Fountain of Living Waters.

vw@Jeremiah:17:15 @ Behold, they say to me, Where is the Word of Jehovah? Let it come now!

vw@Jeremiah:17:16 @ As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You; nor have I desired the woeful day; You surely know the going forth of my lips before Your face.

vw@Jeremiah:17:17 @ Do not be a terror to me; You are my hope in the day of evil.

vw@Jeremiah:17:18 @ Let those who persecute me be ashamed, but do not let me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

vw@Jeremiah:17:19 @ Thus Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

vw@Jeremiah:17:20 @ and say to them, Hear the Word of Jehovah, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates!

vw@Jeremiah:17:21 @ Thus says Jehovah, Take heed to yourselves, and carry no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:17:22 @ Nor carry out a burden from your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but consecrate the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:17:23 @ But they did not obey, nor extend their ear, but made their neck stiff, so that they might not hear nor receive instruction.

vw@Jeremiah:17:24 @ And it shall be, if you listen and give heed to Me, says Jehovah, to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but consecrate the Sabbath day, to do no work in it;

vw@Jeremiah:17:25 @ then kings and rulers sitting on the throne of David shall enter the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall remain forever.

vw@Jeremiah:17:26 @ And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the valleys, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise to the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:17:27 @ But if you will not listen to me to consecrate the Sabbath day, to not carry a burden when entering at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

vw@Jeremiah:18:1 @ The Word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:18:2 @ Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My Words.

vw@Jeremiah:18:3 @ Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he was fashioning an object on the wheel.

vw@Jeremiah:18:4 @ And the vessel that he made of clay was ruined in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

vw@Jeremiah:18:5 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:18:6 @ O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hands, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:18:7 @ The instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck it up; or to pull it down, and to destroy it;

vw@Jeremiah:18:8 @ if that nation, against whom I have spoken, will turn from their evil, I will be moved with compassion regarding the evil that I thought to do to them.

vw@Jeremiah:18:9 @ And the instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and plant it;

vw@Jeremiah:18:10 @ if it does evil in My eyes, so that it does not obey My voice, then I will regret the good by which I said I would do good to them.

vw@Jeremiah:18:11 @ Now then, go speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am forming evil against you, and devising a plan against you. Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

vw@Jeremiah:18:12 @ And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own thoughts, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.

vw@Jeremiah:18:13 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Ask now among the nations; who has heard the likes of this? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.

vw@Jeremiah:18:14 @ Does the snow of Lebanon avoid the rock of the field? Or shall the cold flowing waters be forsaken for that which comes from another place?

vw@Jeremiah:18:15 @ Because My people have forgotten Me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in byways, and not in the highway,

vw@Jeremiah:18:16 @ to make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by will be appalled, and will wag his head.

vw@Jeremiah:18:17 @ I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

vw@Jeremiah:18:18 @ Then they said, Come and let us devise schemes against Jeremiah. For the Law shall not perish from the priest, nor wisdom from the wise, nor the Word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.

vw@Jeremiah:18:19 @ Give attention to me; O Jehovah, and hear the voice of those who contend with me.

vw@Jeremiah:18:20 @ Should evil be repaid for good? For they have dug a pit for my life. Remember that I stood before You to speak good for them, to turn away Your wrath from them.

vw@Jeremiah:18:21 @ Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the hand of the sword. Let their wives be bereaved, and become widows. Let their men be slain to death, and their young men struck by the sword in battle.

vw@Jeremiah:18:22 @ Let a cry be heard from their houses, when You suddenly bring a troop upon them. For they have dug a pit to take me, and have hidden snares for my feet.

vw@Jeremiah:18:23 @ Yet, Jehovah, You know all their counsel against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from Your sight, but let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.

vw@Jeremiah:19:1 @ Thus says Jehovah, Go and get a potter’s earthen jar, and assemble some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests.

vw@Jeremiah:19:2 @ And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom which is by the entry of Potsherd Gate. And there proclaim the words that I shall tell you.

vw@Jeremiah:19:3 @ And say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which shall cause the ears of him who hears it to tingle,

vw@Jeremiah:19:4 @ because they have forsaken Me, and have given regard to this place and have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents.

vw@Jeremiah:19:5 @ They have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I never commanded nor spoke, nor did it even come into My mind.

vw@Jeremiah:19:6 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter.

vw@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 hands of those who seek their lives. And I will give their corpses as food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:19:9 @ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall each one eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress with which their enemies and those who seek their lives shall distress them.

vw@Jeremiah:19:10 @ Then you shall break the jar before the eyes of the men who go with you,

vw@Jeremiah:19:11 @ and shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet until there is no place left to bury.

vw@Jeremiah:19:13 @ And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be as defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.

vw@Jeremiah:19:14 @ Then Jeremiah came from Tophet, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy. And he stood in the court of Jehovah’s house, and said to all the people,

vw@Jeremiah:19:15 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their necks so that they might not hear My Words.

vw@Jeremiah:20:1 @ Now Pashur, the son of Immer the priest (he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah), heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

vw@Jeremiah:20:2 @ Then Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:20:3 @ And it happened on the next day that Pashur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Jehovah has not called your name Pashur, but Magor-Missabib.

vw@Jeremiah:20:4 @ For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and kill them with the sword.

vw@Jeremiah:20:5 @ And I will give all the wealth of this city, and its produce, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; who will plunder them and take them, and bring them to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:20:6 @ And you, Pashur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. And you shall go to Babylon, and you shall die there, and shall be buried there; you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.

vw@Jeremiah:20:7 @ O Jehovah, You have deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I am in derision all the day; everyone mocks me.

vw@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For whenever I speak, I cry out, I cry violence and devastation; for the Word of Jehovah has been a reproach and a derision to me all the day.

vw@Jeremiah:20:9 @ Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak in His name any more. But His Word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with holding it in, and I could not.

vw@Jeremiah:20:10 @ For I have heard the whisperings of many, terror is all around. Proclaim, they say, and we will report it. Everyone at peace with me is watching for me to stumble and fall, saying, Perhaps he will be lured away, and we shall prevail against him, and shall take our revenge on him.

vw@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But Jehovah is with me like a mighty, awesome one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not succeed. Their everlasting reproach shall never be forgotten.

vw@Jeremiah:20:12 @ But, O Jehovah of Hosts, who tries the righteous and sees the soul and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For I have made my cause known to You.

vw@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing to Jehovah! Praise Jehovah! For He has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

vw@Jeremiah:20:14 @ Cursed be the day in which I was born; let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

vw@Jeremiah:20:15 @ Cursed be the man who brought news to my father, saying, A male child has been born to you; making him very glad.

vw@Jeremiah:20:16 @ And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew without compassion; and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noon;

vw@Jeremiah:20:17 @ because he did not kill me from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always pregnant.

vw@Jeremiah:20:18 @ Why did I come forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

vw@Jeremiah:21:1 @ The Word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:21:3 @ Then Jeremiah said to them, Thus you shall say to Zedekiah,

vw@Jeremiah:21:4 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls. And I will gather them together in the middle of this city.

vw@Jeremiah:21:6 @ And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast. They shall die of a great pestilence.

vw@Jeremiah:21:7 @ And afterward, says Jehovah, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. And he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, nor have pity, nor have mercy.

vw@Jeremiah:21:8 @ And to this people you shall say, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.

vw@Jeremiah:21:9 @ He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. But he who goes out and prostrates himself to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be his prize.

vw@Jeremiah:21:10 @ For I have set My face against this city for evil, and not for good, says Jehovah. It shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:21:11 @ And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear the Word of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:21:12 @ O house of David, thus says Jehovah: Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury go forth like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

vw@Jeremiah:21:13 @ Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, says Jehovah; who say, Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter into our dwellings?

vw@Jeremiah:21:14 @ But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says Jehovah; and I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it shall devour all things around it.

vw@Jeremiah:22:1 @ Thus says Jehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this Word there,

vw@Jeremiah:22:2 @ and say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you and your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.

vw@Jeremiah:22:3 @ Thus says Jehovah, Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. And do no wrong, do no violence to the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:22:4 @ For if indeed you do this thing, then there shall enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, his servants, and his people.

vw@Jeremiah:22:5 @ But if you will not heed these Words, I swear by Myself, says Jehovah, that this house shall become a desolation.

vw@Jeremiah:22:6 @ For thus says Jehovah to the house of the king of Judah, You are Gilead to Me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness; cities which are not inhabited.

vw@Jeremiah:22:7 @ And I will prepare destroyers against you, each one with his weapons. And they shall cut down your choice cedars, and throw them into the fire.

vw@Jeremiah:22:8 @ And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say each one to his neighbor, Why has Jehovah done this to this great city?

vw@Jeremiah:22:9 @ Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah their God, and bowed down to other gods, and served them.

vw@Jeremiah:22:10 @ Weep not for the dead, nor moan for him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away. For he shall return no more, nor see his native land.

vw@Jeremiah:22:11 @ For thus says Jehovah concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned in the place of Josiah his father, who went forth out of this place: he shall not return there any more.

vw@Jeremiah:22:12 @ But he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

vw@Jeremiah:22:14 @ who says, I will build myself a wide house and large rooms, and has cut out windows for himself, and the ceiling is paneled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

vw@Jeremiah:22:15 @ Shall you reign, because you lust after cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.

vw@Jeremiah:22:16 @ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Was this not knowledge of Me? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:22:18 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, They shall not mourn for him, saying, Alas, my brother! or, Alas, sister! They shall not mourn for him, saying, Alas, master! or, Alas, his majesty!

vw@Jeremiah:22:19 @ He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:22:22 @ The wind shall eat up all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; surely then you will be ashamed and humiliated for all your wickedness.

vw@Jeremiah:22:23 @ O inhabitant of Lebanon, nesting in the cedars, how you will be pitied when pangs come upon you, the pain as of a woman giving birth!

vw@Jeremiah:22:24 @ As I live, says Jehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on My right hand, yet I would tear you out of there!

vw@Jeremiah:22:25 @ And I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

vw@Jeremiah:22:26 @ And I will cast you out, along with your mother who bore you, into another land where you were not born; and there you shall die.

vw@Jeremiah:22:27 @ But to the land to which they desire to return, there they shall not return.

vw@Jeremiah:22:28 @ Is this man Coniah a despised and broken vessel? Is he an object in which there is no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they do not know?

vw@Jeremiah:22:29 @ O earth, earth, earth, hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Jeremiah:22:30 @ Thus says Jehovah, Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall succeed, sitting on the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:1 @ Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:2 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed My people, You have scattered My flock, and have driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:3 @ And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and will bring them back to their folds. And they shall be fruitful and multiply.

vw@Jeremiah:23:4 @ And I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. And they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed; nor shall they be lacking, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:5 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King who shall reign and act prudently, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:23:7 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that they shall no longer say, Jehovah lives, who brought the sons of Israel up out of the land of Egypt;

vw@Jeremiah:23:8 @ but, Jehovah lives, who brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the land of the north, and from all lands where I have driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.

vw@Jeremiah:23:9 @ My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Jehovah, and because of the Words of His holiness.

vw@Jeremiah:23:10 @ For the land is full of adulterers. Yes, because of cursing the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their strength is not right.

vw@Jeremiah:23:11 @ For both prophet and priest are corrupt; yes, in My house I have found their evil, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:12 @ So their way shall be to them as slippery ways in the darkness; they shall be driven on, and fall in them; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:13 @ And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal and caused My people Israel to go astray.

vw@Jeremiah:23:14 @ I have also seen in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing; they commit adultery and walk in falsehood. They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his evil; they are all of them like Sodom to Me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:15 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them wormwood, and make them drink bitter water; for godlessness has gone forth from the prophets of Jerusalem into all the land.

vw@Jeremiah:23:16 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They fill you with vanities; they speak a vision from their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:17 @ They speak to those who despise Me, promising, Jehovah has said, You shall have peace! And they say to everyone who walks after the stubbornness of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you!

vw@Jeremiah:23:18 @ For who has stood in the counsel of Jehovah, and has perceived and heard His Word? Who has paid attention to His Word and heeded it?

vw@Jeremiah:23:19 @ Behold, a tempest from Jehovah has gone forth in fury, a whirling tempest. It shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.

vw@Jeremiah:23:20 @ The anger of Jehovah shall not turn back, until He has executed and until He has fulfilled the purposes of His heart; in the latter days you shall diligently consider it with understanding.

vw@Jeremiah:23:21 @ I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

vw@Jeremiah:23:22 @ But if they had stood in My counsel and had caused My people to hear My Words, then they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their doings.

vw@Jeremiah:23:24 @ Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and earth? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:25 @ I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in My name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

vw@Jeremiah:23:26 @ How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,

vw@Jeremiah:23:27 @ who think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell, each one to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal.

vw@Jeremiah:23:28 @ The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream. And he who has My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:29 @ Is not My Word like a fire? says Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

vw@Jeremiah:23:30 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I am against the prophets who steal My Words each one from his neighbor.

vw@Jeremiah:23:31 @ Jehovah says, Behold, I am against the prophets who use their tongues and say, He says.

vw@Jeremiah:23:32 @ Jehovah says, Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams and tell them, and cause My people to go astray by their lies and by their foolishness. Yet I did not send them nor command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:33 @ And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? You shall then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:34 @ And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say, The burden of Jehovah! I will even punish that man and his house.

vw@Jeremiah:23:35 @ And you shall say each one to his neighbor, and each one to his brother, What has Jehovah answered? and, What has Jehovah spoken?

vw@Jeremiah:23:36 @ And you shall mention the burden of Jehovah no more. For every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the Words of the living God, of Jehovah of Hosts our God.

vw@Jeremiah:23:37 @ Thus you shall say to the prophet, What has Jehovah answered you? and, What has Jehovah spoken?

vw@Jeremiah:23:38 @ But since you say, The burden of Jehovah! therefore thus says Jehovah, Because you say this word (The burden of Jehovah), and I have sent to you saying, You shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;

vw@Jeremiah:23:39 @ therefore behold, I, even I, will completely forget you, and I will forsake you and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and will cast you out of My presence.

vw@Jeremiah:24:1 @ Jehovah caused me to see, and behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah (after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the rulers of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon);

vw@Jeremiah:24:2 @ one basket had very good figs, like the first ripe figs. And the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

vw@Jeremiah:24:3 @ Then Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so that they cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

vw@Jeremiah:24:4 @ Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:24:5 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.

vw@Jeremiah:24:6 @ For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. And I will build them and not pull them down; and I will plant them and not pluck them up.

vw@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 to Me with their whole heart.

vw@Jeremiah:24:8 @ And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus says Jehovah, Thus I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his rulers, and the rest of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt;

vw@Jeremiah:24:9 @ and I will deliver them over in horror into all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, for a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, there in all the places where I shall drive them.

vw@Jeremiah:24:10 @ And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are destroyed from the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:25:1 @ The Word that came unto Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (It was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon);

vw@Jeremiah:25:2 @ which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:25:3 @ From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, which is the twenty-third year, the Word of Jehovah has come unto me; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you have not listened.

vw@Jeremiah:25:4 @ And Jehovah has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but you have not listened nor extended your ear to hear.

vw@Jeremiah:25:5 @ They said, Turn back now, each one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers forever and ever.

vw@Jeremiah:25:6 @ And do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm.

vw@Jeremiah:25:7 @ Yet you have not listened to Me, says Jehovah, so that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.

vw@Jeremiah:25:8 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Because you have not given heed to My Words,

vw@Jeremiah:25:9 @ behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around. And I will completely destroy them, and make them a waste, and a hissing, and perpetual ruins.

vw@Jeremiah:25:10 @ And I will take from them the voice of rejoicing 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.

vw@Jeremiah:25:11 @ And this whole land shall be a ruin and a waste. And these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

vw@Jeremiah:25:12 @ And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are fulfilled, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, and the land of the Chaldeans for their iniquity, says Jehovah; and I will make it a perpetual desolation.

vw@Jeremiah:25:13 @ And I will bring on that land all My Words which I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

vw@Jeremiah:25:14 @ For many nations and great kings shall lay service upon them also. And I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

vw@Jeremiah:25:15 @ For thus says Jehovah the God of Israel to me, Take the wine cup of this wrath from My hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.

vw@Jeremiah:25:16 @ And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and go mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

vw@Jeremiah:25:17 @ Then I took the cup from Jehovah’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me;

vw@Jeremiah:25:18 @ Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, their kings and their rulers, to make them a desolation, a horror, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

vw@Jeremiah:25:20 @ and all the people mixed together, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the rest of Ashdod;

vw@Jeremiah:25:21 @ Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon;

vw@Jeremiah:25:22 @ and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon; and the kings of the coastlands beyond the sea,

vw@Jeremiah:25:23 @ Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and those who are cut off at the remotest regions;

vw@Jeremiah:25:24 @ and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the people mixed together who dwell in the desert;

vw@Jeremiah:25:25 @ and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

vw@Jeremiah:25:26 @ and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. And the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

vw@Jeremiah:25:27 @ Therefore you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink and be drunk, and vomit, and fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

vw@Jeremiah:25:28 @ And it shall be, that if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, You shall certainly drink.

vw@Jeremiah:25:29 @ For, lo, I am beginning to bring evil on the city which is called by My name; and should you be found clean and free from guilt? You shall not be without guilt, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:25:30 @ Therefore prophesy against them all these Words, and say to them, Jehovah shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation. He shall mightily roar over His dwelling place. He shall give a shout, like those who tread out grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:25:31 @ A roaring noise shall come to the ends of the earth; for Jehovah has a controversy with the nations; He will enter into judgment with all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:25:32 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be roused up from the recesses of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:25:33 @ And in that day the slain of Jehovah shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be mourned, nor gathered, nor buried. They shall be as dung on the ground.

vw@Jeremiah:25:34 @ Howl, you shepherds, and cry! Wallow in the ashes, you majestic ones of the flock! For the days of your slaughter and of your scattering are fulfilled; and you shall fall like a delightful vessel.

vw@Jeremiah:25:35 @ And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the majestic ones of the flock to escape.

vw@Jeremiah:25:36 @ A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the majestic ones of the flock shall be heard; for Jehovah has spoiled their pasture,

vw@Jeremiah:25:37 @ and the peaceful pastures are cut down because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:25:38 @ He has left His den like a lion; for their land is wasted at the presence of His fierce violence, and before His fierce anger.

vw@Jeremiah:26:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this Word came from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:26:2 @ Thus says Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah’s house and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to bow down in Jehovah’s house, all the Words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.

vw@Jeremiah:26:3 @ It may be that they will listen, and each man turn from his evil way, that I may be moved to compassion from the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

vw@Jeremiah:26:4 @ And you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: If you will not listen to Me, to walk in My Law which I have set before you,

vw@Jeremiah:26:5 @ to listen to the words of My servants the prophets whom I sent to you, both rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened);

vw@Jeremiah:26:6 @ then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:26:7 @ So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:26:8 @ And it happened when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shall die the death!

vw@Jeremiah:26:9 @ Why have you prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be wasted, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:26:10 @ When the rulers of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of Jehovah, and sat down in the entrance of the New Gate of Jehovah’s house.

vw@Jeremiah:26:11 @ And the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, Sentence this man to death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

vw@Jeremiah:26:12 @ Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

vw@Jeremiah:26:13 @ Now therefore, make your ways and your doings good, and obey the voice of Jehovah your God. And Jehovah will show compassion regarding the evil that He has spoken against you.

vw@Jeremiah:26:15 @ But know for certain that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for truly Jehovah has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

vw@Jeremiah:26:16 @ Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.

vw@Jeremiah:26:17 @ Then some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:26:18 @ Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house like the high places of a forest.

vw@Jeremiah:26:19 @ Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah execute him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat Jehovah, and Jehovah had compassion regarding the evil which He had spoken against them? So we are doing great evil against our souls.

vw@Jeremiah:26:20 @ And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath Jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

vw@Jeremiah:26:21 @ And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the rulers, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled and went into Egypt.

vw@Jeremiah:26:22 @ And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt; Elnathan the son of Achbor, and men with him into Egypt.

vw@Jeremiah:26:23 @ And they brought Urijah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and threw his dead body into the graves of the common people.

vw@Jeremiah:26:24 @ But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

vw@Jeremiah:27:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, this Word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:27:2 @ Thus says Jehovah to me, Make bonds and yokes for yourself, and put them on your neck,

vw@Jeremiah:27:3 @ and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:27:4 @ And command them to go to their masters, saying, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Thus you shall say to your masters,

vw@Jeremiah:27:5 @ I have made the earth, man, and the animals on the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed right to Me.

vw@Jeremiah:27:6 @ And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant. And I have also given him the beasts of the field to serve him.

vw@Jeremiah:27:7 @ And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his land comes. And then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them.

vw@Jeremiah:27:8 @ And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish, says Jehovah, with the sword and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

vw@Jeremiah:27:9 @ Therefore, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your fortune tellers, nor to your dreamers, nor to your conjurers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:27:10 @ For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out and you should perish.

vw@Jeremiah:27:11 @ But the nations who bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, those I will let remain on their own land, says Jehovah. And they shall work it and dwell in it.

vw@Jeremiah:27:12 @ I also spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

vw@Jeremiah:27:13 @ Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Jehovah has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

vw@Jeremiah:27:14 @ Therefore do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy a lie to you.

vw@Jeremiah:27:15 @ For I have not sent them, says Jehovah; yet they prophesy a lie in My name, so that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

vw@Jeremiah:27:16 @ Also I spoke to the priests and to all the people, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah’s house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

vw@Jeremiah:27:17 @ Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. For why should this city be laid waste?

vw@Jeremiah:28:7 @ But hear now this word that I speak in your ears and in the ears of all the people:

vw@Jeremiah:28:8 @ The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many lands and against great kingdoms; of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

vw@Jeremiah:28:9 @ As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then the prophet shall be known, that Jehovah has truly sent him.

vw@Jeremiah:28:10 @ Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.

vw@Jeremiah:28:11 @ And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the time frame of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

vw@Jeremiah:28:12 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off of the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:28:13 @ Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah: You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.

vw@Jeremiah:28:14 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. And I have given him the beasts of the field also.

vw@Jeremiah:28:15 @ Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah has not sent you, but you make this people to trust in a lie.

vw@Jeremiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will drive you from off the face of the earth. You shall die this year, because you have taught rebellion against Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:28:17 @ So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

vw@Jeremiah:29:1 @ And these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders of the captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar took captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:29:2 @ (After Jeconiah the king, and the queen mother, and the officials, the rulers of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem.)

vw@Jeremiah:29:3 @ The letter came by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah the king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:29:4 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captives whom I caused to be taken captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:

vw@Jeremiah:29:5 @ Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.

vw@Jeremiah:29:6 @ Take wives and beget sons and daughters. And take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters, that you may be multiplied there and not diminished.

vw@Jeremiah:29:7 @ And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be exiled, and pray to Jehovah for it. For in its peace you shall have peace.

vw@Jeremiah:29:8 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your fortune-tellers in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you dream.

vw@Jeremiah:29:9 @ For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:29:11 @ For I know the thoughts which I am planning for you, says Jehovah; thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

vw@Jeremiah:29:12 @ Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

vw@Jeremiah:29:14 @ And I will be found by you, says Jehovah; and I will bring you back from your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you, says Jehovah. And I will bring you back into the place from where I caused you to be taken captive.

vw@Jeremiah:29:16 @ thus says Jehovah concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, and concerning your brothers who have not gone out with you into captivity;

vw@Jeremiah:29:17 @ thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like overripe figs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

vw@Jeremiah:29:18 @ And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and will make them objects of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and a waste, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,

vw@Jeremiah:29:19 @ because they have not heeded My Words, says Jehovah, which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not obey, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:29:20 @ Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, all you exiles, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon;

vw@Jeremiah:29:21 @ thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall kill them before your eyes.

vw@Jeremiah:29:22 @ And a curse shall be taken up about them by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, May Jehovah make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,

vw@Jeremiah:29:23 @ because they have done disgraceful things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them; for I am He who knows and is a witness, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:29:24 @ You shall also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:29:25 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:29:26 @ Jehovah has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be officers in the house of Jehovah over every madman who prophesies, that you should put him in prison and in the stocks.

vw@Jeremiah:29:27 @ Now therefore why have you not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?

vw@Jeremiah:29:28 @ For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long. Build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.

vw@Jeremiah:29:29 @ And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

vw@Jeremiah:29:30 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:29:31 @ Send to all the captives, saying, Thus says Jehovah concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he caused you to trust in a lie,

vw@Jeremiah:29:32 @ therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his seed. He shall not have a man to dwell among this people; nor shall he behold the good which I shall do for My people, says Jehovah, because he has taught rebellion against Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:30:1 @ The Word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:30:2 @ Thus speaks Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write all the Words that I have spoken to you in a book.

vw@Jeremiah:30:3 @ For, lo, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will bring back the captives of My people Israel and Judah, says Jehovah. And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave their fathers, and they shall possess it.

vw@Jeremiah:30:4 @ And these are the Words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:30:6 @ Ask now, and see whether a man ever gives birth? Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labor, and all faces are turned pale?

vw@Jeremiah:30:7 @ Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

vw@Jeremiah:30:9 @ but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

vw@Jeremiah:30:10 @ Therefore, do not fear, O My servant Jacob, says Jehovah. Do not be dismayed, O Israel. For lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return, and shall be at rest, and be quiet, and no one shall make him afraid.

vw@Jeremiah:30:11 @ For I am with you, says Jehovah, to save you. Though I make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a complete end of you; but I will correct you in justice, and will not acquit nor leave you unpunished.

vw@Jeremiah:30:13 @ There is no one to plead your cause; for your wounds there are no healing medicines.

vw@Jeremiah:30:14 @ All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the abundance of your iniquity, because your sins are many.

vw@Jeremiah:30:15 @ Why do you cry over your break? Your pain is incurable, because of the abundance of your iniquities; because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.

vw@Jeremiah:30:16 @ Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. And those who plunder you shall become plunder, and all who prey upon you I will give as prey.

vw@Jeremiah:30:17 @ For I will stir up health to you, and will heal you of your wounds, says Jehovah; because they called you an outcast, saying, This is Zion; no one seeks after her.

vw@Jeremiah:30:18 @ Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will bring back the captives of Jacob’s tents, and will have mercy on his dwelling places. And the city shall be built on her own hill, and the palace shall remain in its own place.

vw@Jeremiah:30:19 @ And out of them shall come forth thanksgiving, and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

vw@Jeremiah:30:20 @ Their children shall also be as they were before, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all who oppress them.

vw@Jeremiah:30:21 @ And their rulers shall be from among themselves, and their governor shall come from their midst; and I will cause him to be brought near, and he shall draw near to Me. For who is this who pledged his heart to come near to Me? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:30:23 @ Behold, the tempest of Jehovah’s wrath goes forth, a roaring tempest; it shall whirl on the head of the wicked.

vw@Jeremiah:30:24 @ The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return until He has done it, and until He has fulfilled the purposes of His heart. In the latter days you shall understand it.

vw@Jeremiah:31:1 @ At that time, says Jehovah, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.

vw@Jeremiah:31:2 @ Thus says Jehovah, The people who were survivors of the sword have found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I go to give him rest.

vw@Jeremiah:31:3 @ Jehovah has appeared to me from afar, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

vw@Jeremiah:31:4 @ Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel. You shall again put on your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.

vw@Jeremiah:31:5 @ You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common food.

vw@Jeremiah:31:6 @ For there shall be a day that the watchmen on Mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise and let us go up to Zion unto Jehovah our God!

vw@Jeremiah:31:7 @ For thus says Jehovah, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations. Cry out, give praise and say, O Jehovah, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!

vw@Jeremiah:31:8 @ Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the recesses of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; a great company shall return there.

vw@Jeremiah:31:9 @ They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way; they shall not stumble in it, for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.

vw@Jeremiah:31:10 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, O nations, and declare it on distant shores; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.

vw@Jeremiah:31:11 @ For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of the one stronger than him.

vw@Jeremiah:31:12 @ Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Jehovah, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and the herd. And their souls shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not languish any more at all.

vw@Jeremiah:31:13 @ Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

vw@Jeremiah:31:14 @ And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:15 @ Thus says Jehovah: A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

vw@Jeremiah:31:16 @ Thus says Jehovah: Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says Jehovah. And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

vw@Jeremiah:31:17 @ And there is hope for your future, says Jehovah, that your children shall come back to their own territory.

vw@Jeremiah:31:19 @ Surely after I was turned back, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even humiliated, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

vw@Jeremiah:31:20 @ Is Ephraim My dear son? Is he a delightful child? For as often as I spoke against him, I call to mind and remember him still. Therefore My heart is stirred for him; I will have mercy and compassion upon him, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:21 @ Set up signposts, make landmarks for yourself. Set your heart toward the highway, the way you went. Turn back, O virgin of Israel, turn back to these cities of yours.

vw@Jeremiah:31:22 @ How long will you vacillate, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth; a woman shall contain a man.

vw@Jeremiah:31:23 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, They shall speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring back their captives, saying, Jehovah bless you, O habitation of justice and mountain of holiness.

vw@Jeremiah:31:24 @ And farmers, and those going forth with flocks, shall dwell together in Judah and in all its cities.

vw@Jeremiah:31:25 @ For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every sorrowful soul.

vw@Jeremiah:31:27 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beasts.

vw@Jeremiah:31:28 @ And it shall come to pass that, as I have watched over them to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:29 @ In those days they shall not say any more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are dull.

vw@Jeremiah:31:30 @ But every man shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be dull.

vw@Jeremiah:31:31 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,

vw@Jeremiah:31:32 @ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:33 @ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says Jehovah, I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

vw@Jeremiah:31:34 @ And they shall no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

vw@Jeremiah:31:35 @ Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea when its waves roar (Jehovah of Hosts is His name);

vw@Jeremiah:31:36 @ if those ordinances depart from My presence, says Jehovah, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.

vw@Jeremiah:31:37 @ Thus says Jehovah, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be searched out, then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:38 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.

vw@Jeremiah:31:39 @ And the measuring line shall come out to the hill Gareb, and shall go around to Goath.

vw@Jeremiah:31:40 @ And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to Jehovah. It shall not be plucked up nor thrown down any more forever.

vw@Jeremiah:32:1 @ The Word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

vw@Jeremiah:32:2 @ For then the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah the prophet was shut in the court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:32:3 @ For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy and say, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it,

vw@Jeremiah:32:4 @ and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall be given over and delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes,

vw@Jeremiah:32:5 @ and he shall lead Zedekiah into Babylon, and there he shall be until I visit him, says Jehovah; though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed.

vw@Jeremiah:32:6 @ And Jeremiah said, The Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:32:7 @ Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours, to buy it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:8 @ So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the Word of Jehovah and said to me, Please buy my field in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the right of redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the Word of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:32:9 @ And I bought the field in Anathoth, from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, seventeen shekels of silver.

vw@Jeremiah:32:10 @ And I wrote it in the document, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed the silver in the scales.

vw@Jeremiah:32:11 @ So I took the document of the purchase, that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and the open copy.

vw@Jeremiah:32:12 @ And I gave the document of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the eyes of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the eyes of the witnesses who wrote in the purchase document, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

vw@Jeremiah:32:13 @ And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:32:14 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these documents, the purchase document, the one sealed and the open document, and put them in an earthen vessel so that they may survive many days.

vw@Jeremiah:32:15 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall be acquired again in this land.

vw@Jeremiah:32:16 @ And after I gave the purchase document to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:32:17 @ Ah, Lord Jehovah! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You.

vw@Jeremiah:32:18 @ You show lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them. The great, the strong and Mighty God, Jehovah of Hosts, is His name,

vw@Jeremiah:32:19 @ great in counsel and mighty in work; for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.

vw@Jeremiah:32:20 @ For You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel and among men; and have made Yourself a name, as it is this day;

vw@Jeremiah:32:21 @ and have brought forth Your 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.

vw@Jeremiah:32:22 @ And You have given them this land, which You swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

vw@Jeremiah:32:23 @ And they came in and possessed it, but they have not obeyed Your voice, nor walked in Your Law. They have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have caused all this evil to come upon them.

vw@Jeremiah:32:24 @ Behold, the siege mounds have come to the city to take it; and the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, the famine, and the pestilence. And what You have spoken has happened; and behold, there You see it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:25 @ And You have said to me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy the field for money, and take witnesses; yet the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.

vw@Jeremiah:32:26 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:32:27 @ Behold, I am Jehovah the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

vw@Jeremiah:32:28 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:29 @ And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger.

vw@Jeremiah:32:30 @ For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have only provoked Me to anger with the work of their hands, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:32:31 @ For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and of My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; that I should remove it from before My face,

vw@Jeremiah:32:32 @ because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger; they, their kings, their rulers, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:32:33 @ And they have turned the back to Me, and not the face; though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

vw@Jeremiah:32:34 @ But they set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:35 @ And they built the high places of Baal, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I did not command them, nor did it even enter My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

vw@Jeremiah:32:36 @ And now therefore, thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

vw@Jeremiah:32:37 @ Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath. And I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

vw@Jeremiah:32:38 @ And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

vw@Jeremiah:32:39 @ And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for their good and for the good of their children after them.

vw@Jeremiah:32:40 @ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good. But I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.

vw@Jeremiah:32:41 @ Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will truly plant them in this land, with all My heart and all My soul.

vw@Jeremiah:32:42 @ For thus says Jehovah: Just as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

vw@Jeremiah:32:43 @ And fields shall be bought in this land of which you say, It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

vw@Jeremiah:32:44 @ Men shall buy fields for money, and write it in a document, and seal it, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south. For I will cause their captives to return, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:33:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:33:2 @ Thus says Jehovah the Maker, Jehovah who formed it in order to establish it; Jehovah is His name:

vw@Jeremiah:33:4 @ For thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to fortify against the siege mounds and the sword:

vw@Jeremiah:33:5 @ They come to fight with the Chaldeans, only to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in My anger and in My fury, for all whose evil I have hidden My face from this city.

vw@Jeremiah:33:6 @ Behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them and will show them the abundance of peace and truth.

vw@Jeremiah:33:7 @ And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

vw@Jeremiah:33:8 @ And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned, and by which they have transgressed against Me.

vw@Jeremiah:33:9 @ And it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them. And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the welfare that I am bringing to it.

vw@Jeremiah:33:10 @ Thus says Jehovah: Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say is desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast;

vw@Jeremiah:33:11 @ the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who shall say, Praise Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah is good, for His mercy is eternal; and the voice of those who shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captives of the land to return, as at the first, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:33:12 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Again in this place which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall be a dwelling place of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

vw@Jeremiah:33:13 @ In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him who counts them, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:33:14 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will establish the good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:33:15 @ In those days, and at that time, I will cause the Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David; and He shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

vw@Jeremiah:33:16 @ In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. And this is the name by which she shall be called: JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

vw@Jeremiah:33:17 @ For thus says Jehovah, David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,

vw@Jeremiah:33:18 @ nor shall the priests, the Levites, lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.

vw@Jeremiah:33:19 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:33:20 @ Thus says Jehovah: If you can break My covenant of the day and My covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season,

vw@Jeremiah:33:21 @ then also may My covenant with David My servant be broken, that he should not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites the priests, My ministers.

vw@Jeremiah:33:22 @ As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of David My servant and the Levites who serve Me.

vw@Jeremiah:33:23 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:33:24 @ Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah has chosen, He has even cast them off? Thus they have despised My people, that they should no more be a nation before them.

vw@Jeremiah:33:25 @ Thus says Jehovah: If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of the heavens and the earth,

vw@Jeremiah:33:26 @ then I will cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will bring back their captives, and have mercy on them.

vw@Jeremiah:34:1 @ The Word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem and against all its cities; saying,

vw@Jeremiah:34:2 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:34:3 @ And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be captured and delivered into his hand. And your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:34:4 @ Yet hear the Word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah, thus says Jehovah concerning you: You shall not die by the sword.

vw@Jeremiah:34:5 @ You shall die in peace; and as the burnings of incense for your fathers, the former kings which were before you, so they shall burn incense for you. And they shall lament for you, saying, Ah, lord! For I have spoken the Word, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:34:6 @ Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

vw@Jeremiah:34:7 @ when the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem and against all the remaining cities of Judah; against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:34:8 @ The Word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;

vw@Jeremiah:34:9 @ that each man should let his male slave, and each man his female slave, if they were a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, to go free; that no one should keep a Jewish brother enslaved.

vw@Jeremiah:34:10 @ And all the rulers obeyed, and all the people who had entered into the covenant allowed them to go free, each man his male slave, and each man his female slave, so that no one should be enslaved among them any more; and they obeyed and let them go.

vw@Jeremiah:34:11 @ But afterward they changed their minds and caused the slaves and slave women whom they had let go free, to return! And they subjected them as slaves and slave women.

vw@Jeremiah:34:12 @ Therefore the Word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:34:13 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:34:14 @ At the end of seven years let each man free his brother, a Hebrew, who has been sold to him. And when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you. But your fathers did not heed me, nor extend their ears.

vw@Jeremiah:34:15 @ And you had turned today, and had done what was right in My eyes proclaiming liberty, each man to his neighbor. And you had made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My name.

vw@Jeremiah:34:16 @ But you turned and violated My name, and each man caused his slave, and each man his slave woman, whom you had set free to do as they pleased, to return. And you brought them back into bondage to be slaves and slave women to you.

vw@Jeremiah:34:17 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah: You have not heeded Me to proclaim liberty each man to his brother, and each man to his neighbor! Behold, I proclaim liberty for you, says Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. And I will cause you to be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:34:18 @ And I will give the men who have transgressed My covenant, who have not done the words of the covenant which they made before Me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts;

vw@Jeremiah:34:19 @ the rulers of Judah, and the rulers of Jerusalem, the officials, and the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf;

vw@Jeremiah:34:20 @ I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. And their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:34:21 @ And I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his rulers, into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, who have withdrawn from you.

vw@Jeremiah:34:22 @ Behold, I will command, says Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city. And they shall fight against it and capture it, and burn it with fire. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:35:1 @ The Word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:35:2 @ Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.

vw@Jeremiah:35:3 @ Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.

vw@Jeremiah:35:4 @ And I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was near the room of the rulers, above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door.

vw@Jeremiah:35:5 @ And I set pots full of wine, and cups, before the sons of the house of the Rechabites. And I said to them, Drink wine!

vw@Jeremiah:35:6 @ But they said, We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, You shall drink no wine, you nor your sons forever.

vw@Jeremiah:35:7 @ Nor shall you build houses, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have any of these; but all your days you shall live in tents, so that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.

vw@Jeremiah:35:8 @ So we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he has commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

vw@Jeremiah:35:10 @ But we have lived in tents, and have obeyed and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

vw@Jeremiah:35:11 @ But it came to pass when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of Syria. So we are living at Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:35:12 @ Then came the Word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:35:13 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to heed My Words? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:35:14 @ The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are done. For to this day they do not drink, but obey their father’s commandment. But I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, but you have not heeded Me.

vw@Jeremiah:35:15 @ I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Turn back now each man from his evil way, and do good, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers. But you have not extended your ear, nor heeded Me.

vw@Jeremiah:35:16 @ Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the commandment of their father, which He commanded them; but this people has not heeded Me;

vw@Jeremiah:35:17 @ therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken against them. Because I have spoken to them, but they have not given heed; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.

vw@Jeremiah:35:18 @ And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the command of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his precepts, and have done according to all that he has commanded you;

vw@Jeremiah:35:19 @ therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before Me forever.

vw@Jeremiah:36:1 @ And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this Word came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:36:2 @ Take for yourself a scroll of a book, and write in it all the Words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.

vw@Jeremiah:36:3 @ It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I plan to do to them, that they may turn, each man, from his evil way, so that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

vw@Jeremiah:36:4 @ Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah. And Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of Jehovah, which He had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.

vw@Jeremiah:36:5 @ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am confined. I cannot go into the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:36:6 @ Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written at my mouth, the Words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in Jehovah’s house on the day of the fast. And also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.

vw@Jeremiah:36:7 @ It may be that they will present their supplication before Jehovah, and will turn back, each one from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that Jehovah has pronounced against this people.

vw@Jeremiah:36:8 @ And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book, the Words of Jehovah in the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:36:9 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before Jehovah to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:36:10 @ And Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entrance to the New Gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.

vw@Jeremiah:36:11 @ When Michaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the Words of Jehovah from the book,

vw@Jeremiah:36:12 @ he then went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s room. And, lo, all the rulers sat there, even 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 rulers.

vw@Jeremiah:36:13 @ Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

vw@Jeremiah:36:14 @ Therefore all the rulers sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take the scroll in your hand from which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.

vw@Jeremiah:36:15 @ And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.

vw@Jeremiah:36:16 @ And it happened when they had heard all the words, that they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

vw@Jeremiah:36:17 @ And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth?

vw@Jeremiah:36:18 @ Then Baruch answered them, He spoke all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

vw@Jeremiah:36:19 @ And the rulers said to Baruch, Go hide yourselves, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.

vw@Jeremiah:36:20 @ And they went in to the king, into the court. But they laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.

vw@Jeremiah:36:21 @ So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll. And he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the rulers who stood beside the king.

vw@Jeremiah:36:22 @ And the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, the fire burning in the hearth before him.

vw@Jeremiah:36:23 @ And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that he cut it with the scribe’s knife and threw it into the fire in the hearth, until all the scroll was burned up in the hearth.

vw@Jeremiah:36:24 @ Yet the king and all his servants who heard these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments.

vw@Jeremiah:36:25 @ But Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king that he should not burn the scroll, but he would not consent to them.

vw@Jeremiah:36:26 @ And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But Jehovah hid them.

vw@Jeremiah:36:27 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll and the words which Baruch had written at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:36:28 @ Take for yourself another scroll, and write in it all the former Words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.

vw@Jeremiah:36:29 @ And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus says Jehovah: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it, saying that the king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause man and beast to be annihilated from there?

vw@Jeremiah:36:30 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have no one to sit on the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out into the heat of the day, and the frost of the night.

vw@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 people of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them; but they have not given heed.

vw@Jeremiah:36:32 @ Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote in it at the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many words like them were added to them.

vw@Jeremiah:37:1 @ And King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made king in the land of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:37:2 @ But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, gave heed to the Words of Jehovah which He spoke by the hand of the prophet Jeremiah.

vw@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 to Jehovah our God for us.

vw@Jeremiah:37:4 @ And Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not yet put him into prison.

vw@Jeremiah:37:5 @ And Pharaoh’s army had come out from Egypt. And when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they departed from Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:37:6 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:37:7 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: You shall say this to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

vw@Jeremiah:37:8 @ And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:37:9 @ Thus says Jehovah: Do not deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us. For they shall not depart.

vw@Jeremiah:37:10 @ For though you had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would rise up, each man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:37:11 @ And it happened when the army of Chaldeans went up from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army,

vw@Jeremiah:37:12 @ that Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to claim his property there in the midst of the people.

vw@Jeremiah:37:13 @ And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a commander of the guard named Irijah was there, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah. And he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are defecting to the Chaldeans.

vw@Jeremiah:37:14 @ Then Jeremiah said, False! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans. But he did not listen to him; so Irijah arrested Jeremiah and brought him to the rulers.

vw@Jeremiah:37:15 @ And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison, the house of Jonathan the scribe. For they had made that the prison.

vw@Jeremiah:37:16 @ When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon and the cell, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,

vw@Jeremiah:37:17 @ then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out. And the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any Word from Jehovah? And Jeremiah said, There is. For, He said, you shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:37:19 @ Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you nor against this land?

vw@Jeremiah:37:20 @ Therefore please hear now, O my lord the king; I beg you, let my supplication fall before you, so that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

vw@Jeremiah:37:21 @ And Zedekiah the king commanded that they should put Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and that they should give him a piece of bread out of the bakers’ street daily, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus, Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

vw@Jeremiah:38:1 @ And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:38:2 @ Thus says Jehovah, He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. But he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life as a prize, and shall live.

vw@Jeremiah:38:3 @ Thus says Jehovah: This city shall be given and bestowed into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall seize it.

vw@Jeremiah:38:4 @ Therefore the rulers said to the king, Please let this man be put to death. For in this way he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but their harm.

vw@Jeremiah:38:5 @ Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand. For the king cannot do a thing against you.

vw@Jeremiah:38:6 @ And they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchijah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And there was no water in the pit, only mud. So Jeremiah sank into the mud.

vw@Jeremiah:38:7 @ And when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the officials in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the pit (the king was then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),

vw@Jeremiah:38:8 @ Ebed-melech went out of the king’s house and spoke to the king, saying,

vw@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 thrown into the pit. And he is likely to die of hunger in the place where he is, for there is no more bread in the city.

vw@Jeremiah:38:10 @ Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take by your hand thirty men from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet up out of the pit before he dies.

vw@Jeremiah:38:11 @ So Ebed-melech took the men by his hand and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took worn out clothes and worn out rags from there, and let them down by ropes into the pit to Jeremiah.

vw@Jeremiah:38:12 @ And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Now put the worn out clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes. And Jeremiah did so.

vw@Jeremiah:38:13 @ So they drew up Jeremiah with ropes and took him up out of the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

vw@Jeremiah:38:14 @ And Zedekiah the king sent and had Jeremiah the prophet brought to him at the third gate of the house of Jehovah. And the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you something. Do not hide anything from me.

vw@Jeremiah:38:15 @ Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not execute me to death? And if I give you advice, you will not give heed to me.

vw@Jeremiah:38:16 @ So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.

vw@Jeremiah:38:17 @ Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Jehovah the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: If you will come out and go forth to the rulers of the king of Babylon, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire. And you and your house shall live.

vw@Jeremiah:38:18 @ But if you will not go forth to the rulers of the king of Babylon, then this city shall be given into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.

vw@Jeremiah:38:19 @ And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they abuse me.

vw@Jeremiah:38:20 @ But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. I beg of you, obey the voice of Jehovah which I am speaking to you; so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.

vw@Jeremiah:38:21 @ But if you refuse to surrender, this is the Word that Jehovah has shown me:

vw@Jeremiah:38:22 @ Behold, all the women who are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be brought out to the rulers of the king of Babylon, and they shall say, Your friends have enticed you, and have prevailed against you. Your feet have sunk in the mire, and they have turned away.

vw@Jeremiah:38:23 @ So they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. And you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And this city shall be burned with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:38:24 @ Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.

vw@Jeremiah:38:25 @ But if the rulers hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king, and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death;

vw@Jeremiah:38:26 @ then you shall say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.

vw@Jeremiah:38:27 @ Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they quit speaking with him; for the conversation had not been heard.

vw@Jeremiah:38:28 @ So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And he was there when Jerusalem was captured.

vw@Jeremiah:39:1 @ In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.

vw@Jeremiah:39:2 @ In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth of the month, the city was broken into.

vw@Jeremiah:39:3 @ And all the rulers of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer, Rabmag, and all the rest of the rulers of the king of Babylon.

vw@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 out from the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out the way of the plain.

vw@Jeremiah:39:5 @ But the Chaldean army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And they took him, and brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment upon him.

vw@Jeremiah:39:6 @ Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes in Riblah. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:39:8 @ And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:39:9 @ Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive to Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, and those who fell out and defected to him, with the rest of the people that remained.

vw@Jeremiah:39:10 @ But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poor people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

vw@Jeremiah:39:11 @ And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:39:16 @ Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says 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 done in that day before you.

vw@Jeremiah:39:17 @ But I will deliver you in that day, says Jehovah. And you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

vw@Jeremiah:39:18 @ For I will give you an escape, to deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:40:1 @ This is the Word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had set him free from Ramah, when he had taken him, being bound in chains, from among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, who were being carried away captive to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:40:2 @ And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, Jehovah your God has pronounced this evil against this place.

vw@Jeremiah:40:3 @ Now Jehovah has brought it, and has done according as He has said. Because you have sinned against Jehovah and have not obeyed His voice, therefore this thing has come upon you.

vw@Jeremiah:40:4 @ And now, behold, I have set you free today from the chains on your hand. If it seems agreeable to you to come with me to Babylon, come; and I will see to your settlement. But if it is displeasing in your eyes to come with me into Babylon, stay. Behold, all the land is before you. Wherever it seems agreeable and right for you to go, go there.

vw@Jeremiah:40:5 @ And while he had not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and live with him among the people.

vw@Jeremiah:40:6 @ Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam at Mizpah. And he lived with him among the people who were left in the land.

vw@Jeremiah:40:7 @ And when all the commanders of the forces who were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had entrusted to him men, and women, and children, and many of the poor of the land, of those who were not exiled to Babylon;

vw@Jeremiah:40:13 @ Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were in the fields came to Gedaliah at Mizpah,

vw@Jeremiah:40:14 @ and they said to him, You certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to kill you. But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.

vw@Jeremiah:40:15 @ Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know. Why should he kill you so that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?

vw@Jeremiah:40:16 @ But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.

vw@Jeremiah:41:1 @ And it came to pass in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, and the rulers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam at Mizpah. And there they ate bread together at Mizpah.

vw@Jeremiah:41:2 @ Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

vw@Jeremiah:41:3 @ Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with him, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

vw@Jeremiah:41:4 @ And it came to pass on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah (and no one yet knew it),

vw@Jeremiah:41:5 @ that some men from Shechem came from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, with their beards shaved, and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:41:6 @ And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he walked. And it happened as he met them that he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.

vw@Jeremiah:41:7 @ And so it happened when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, he and the men with him, and threw them into the middle of the pit.

vw@Jeremiah:41:8 @ But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not kill us, for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he left off and did not kill them with their brothers.

vw@Jeremiah:41:9 @ And the pit into which Ishmael had thrown all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had killed because of Gedaliah, was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

vw@Jeremiah:41:10 @ Then Ishmael took captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had entrusted to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah took captive and departed to go over to the Ammonites.

vw@Jeremiah:41:11 @ But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the forces with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,

vw@Jeremiah:41:12 @ they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. And they found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.

vw@Jeremiah:41:13 @ And it happened when all the people with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the forces with him, that they were glad.

vw@Jeremiah:41:14 @ So all the people that Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

vw@Jeremiah:41:15 @ But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.

vw@Jeremiah:41:16 @ Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces with him took from Mizpah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; the mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the officials, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

vw@Jeremiah:41:17 @ And they departed and stayed in the lodging place of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, to go to enter Egypt,

vw@Jeremiah:41:18 @ because of the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.

vw@Jeremiah:42:1 @ Then all the commanders of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,

vw@Jeremiah:42:2 @ and they said to Jeremiah the prophet, Please let us prostrate our supplication to you, and intercede for us to Jehovah your God, even for all this remnant, (for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes behold us),

vw@Jeremiah:42:3 @ that Jehovah your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

vw@Jeremiah:42:4 @ And Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard. Behold, I will pray to Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall be that all the word Jehovah shall answer, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.

vw@Jeremiah:42:5 @ So they said to Jeremiah, Let Jehovah be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not do even according to all things which Jehovah your God shall send you to us.

vw@Jeremiah:42:6 @ Whether it is good, or whether it is evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send you; so that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of Jehovah our God.

vw@Jeremiah:42:7 @ And it came to pass after ten days that the Word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah.

vw@Jeremiah:42:8 @ And he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the forces with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

vw@Jeremiah:42:9 @ and said to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before Him:

vw@Jeremiah:42:10 @ If you will still remain in this land, then I will build you and will not pull you down. And I will plant you and will not pluck you up. For I am sorry for you because of the evil that I have brought upon you.

vw@Jeremiah:42:11 @ Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not be afraid of him, says Jehovah; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.

vw@Jeremiah:42:13 @ But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, nor obey the voice of Jehovah your God,

vw@Jeremiah:42:14 @ saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the shofar, nor hunger for bread; and there we will dwell;

vw@Jeremiah:42:15 @ then now hear the Word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah. Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: If you decide to set your faces to go into Egypt, and go to live there,

vw@Jeremiah:42:16 @ then it shall happen that the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt. And the famine about which you were anxious shall cling to you there in Egypt; and you shall die there.

vw@Jeremiah:42:17 @ So shall it be to all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. And none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

vw@Jeremiah:42:18 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: As My anger and My fury have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall My fury be poured forth upon you when you shall enter into Egypt. And you shall be a curse, and a wonder, and a shame, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.

vw@Jeremiah:42:21 @ And I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God, nor anything for which He has sent me unto you.

vw@Jeremiah:42:22 @ Now therefore know and recognize that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to live.

vw@Jeremiah:43:1 @ And it happened when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the Words of Jehovah their God, for which Jehovah their God had sent him to them, all these Words,

vw@Jeremiah:43:2 @ that Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely! Jehovah our God has not sent you to say, Do not go to Egypt to live there.

vw@Jeremiah:43:3 @ But Baruch the son of Neriah is inciting you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death and to take us captive to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:43:4 @ So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of Jehovah to live in the land of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:43:5 @ But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the commanders of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations (where they had been driven) to dwell in the land of Judah;

vw@Jeremiah:43:6 @ men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

vw@Jeremiah:43:7 @ So they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of Jehovah. So they came to Tahpanhes.

vw@Jeremiah:43:8 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:43:9 @ Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick kiln which is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the eyes of the men of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:43:10 @ And say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

vw@Jeremiah:43:11 @ And when he comes, he shall strike the land of Egypt. And whoever is for death shall go to death; and whoever for captivity, into captivity; and whoever for the sword, to the sword.

vw@Jeremiah:43:12 @ And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. And he shall burn them and take them captive. And he shall adorn himself with the land of Egypt, like a shepherd puts on his robe; and he shall go out from there in peace.

vw@Jeremiah:43:13 @ He shall also break the obelisks of The House of the Sun which are in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:44:1 @ The Word that came unto Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who live in the land of Egypt, who live in Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the land of Pathros, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:44:2 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. And, behold, today they are a desolation, and no one lives there

vw@Jeremiah:44:3 @ because of their evil which they have done to provoke Me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods whom they knew not, they, you, nor your fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:44:4 @ But I sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing which I hate!

vw@Jeremiah:44:5 @ But they did not heed, nor extend their ear to turn from their evil, to burn no incense to other gods.

vw@Jeremiah:44:6 @ Therefore My fury and My anger was poured out, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. And they are wasted and deserted, as it is this day.

vw@Jeremiah:44:7 @ Now therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and infant, out of Judah, leaving none remaining;

vw@Jeremiah:44:8 @ in that you provoke Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to live, that you might cut yourselves off and that you might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

vw@Jeremiah:44:9 @ Have you 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 have done in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

vw@Jeremiah:44:10 @ They have not humbled themselves to this day, nor have they feared, nor walked in My Law, nor in My statutes which I have set before you and before your fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:44:11 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set My face against you for evil, to cut off all Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:44:12 @ And I will take the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there; and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt. They shall be destroyed by the sword and by the famine. They shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be a curse, a wonder, and a shame, and a reproach.

vw@Jeremiah:44:13 @ For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence,

vw@Jeremiah:44:14 @ so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there shall escape or survive, that they should return into the land of Judah to which they have a desire to return to live there. For no one shall return except those who escape.

vw@Jeremiah:44:15 @ And all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great multitude, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:44:16 @ As for the Word that you have spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, we will not give heed to you.

vw@Jeremiah:44:17 @ But we will prepare and do whatever goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our rulers, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and were well-off, and saw no evil.

vw@Jeremiah:44:18 @ But since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything, and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.

vw@Jeremiah:44:19 @ And the women also said, when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make our cakes in her image, and pour out drink offerings to her without our men?

vw@Jeremiah:44:20 @ Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying:

vw@Jeremiah:44:21 @ The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your rulers, and the people of the land; did not Jehovah remember them, and did it not come into His mind?

vw@Jeremiah:44:22 @ Yes, so that Jehovah could no longer hold back because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations which you have done! Therefore your land is a waste, and a wonder, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is today.

vw@Jeremiah:44:23 @ Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in His Law, nor in His statutes, nor did you walk in His testimonies, therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day.

vw@Jeremiah:44:24 @ Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, Hear the Word of Jehovah, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt.

vw@Jeremiah:44:25 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hands, saying, We will prepare and celebrate our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her. You will arise and carry out your vows, and prepare and celebrate your vows.

vw@Jeremiah:44:26 @ Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, all Judah that lives in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says Jehovah, that My name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord Jehovah lives.

vw@Jeremiah:44:27 @ Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good. And all the men of Judah in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end to them.

vw@Jeremiah:44:28 @ Yet a small number that escapes the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall know whose word shall stand, Mine or theirs.

vw@Jeremiah:44:30 @ Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-hophra, king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life, just as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy that sought his life.

vw@Jeremiah:46:6 @ Do not let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. They stumbled and fell toward the north, by the River Euphrates.

vw@Jeremiah:46:7 @ Who is this rising up like a flood, whose waters move like the rivers?

vw@Jeremiah:46:8 @ Egypt rises up like a flood, and his waters surge about like the rivers. And he says, I will go up and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.

vw@Jeremiah:46:9 @ Come up, you horses; and rage, you chariots! And let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans who handle the shield, and the Lydians who handle and bend the bow.

vw@Jeremiah:46:10 @ For this is the day of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Himself of His adversaries. And the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiated and made drunk with their blood, for the Lord Jehovah of Hosts has a sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.

vw@Jeremiah:52:8 @ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him.

vw@Jeremiah:52:9 @ So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed judgment against him.

vw@Jeremiah:52:10 @ And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the rulers of Judah in Riblah.

vw@Jeremiah:52:11 @ And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah. And the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and brought him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

vw@Jeremiah:52:22 @ And a capital of bronze was on it. And the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capitals all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also, and the pomegranates, were like these.

vw@Jeremiah:52:34 @ And as for his allowance: a continual allowance was given him from the king of Babylon, the matter day by day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

vw@Lamentations:1:1 @ How alone sits the city that was full of people! She has become like a widow, who was once great among the nations, a princess among the nations, but now has come under tribute.

vw@Lamentations:1:2 @ She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; among all her lovers, she has no one to comfort her. All her friends have dealt deceitfully with her; they have become her enemies.

vw@Lamentations:1:3 @ Judah went into captivity under affliction and hard labor. She dwells among the nations; she finds no rest; all her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.

vw@Lamentations:1:4 @ The roads of Zion mourn because none go to the appointed meetings. All her gates are deserted; her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

vw@Lamentations:1:5 @ Her oppressors have become the chief; her enemies are at ease; for Jehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her sins. Her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.

vw@Lamentations:1:6 @ And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty has departed. Her rulers have become like deer, who find no pasture, that flee without strength before the pursuer.

vw@Lamentations:1:7 @ In the days of her affliction and her wandering, Jerusalem remembered all her desirable things from ancient days, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy with no one to help her. The enemies saw her; they laughed at her annihilation.

vw@Lamentations:1:8 @ Jerusalem has grievously sinned, therefore she has become impure. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yea, she sighs and turns backward.

vw@Lamentations:1:9 @ Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not remember her end, and her downfall was extraordinary. There is no comforter for her. O Jehovah, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.

vw@Lamentations:1:10 @ The enemy has spread out his hand upon all her desirable things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, whom You commanded that they should not enter into Your assembly.

vw@Lamentations:1:11 @ All her people sigh; they seek bread. They have given their desirable things for food to restore life. See, O Jehovah, and look upon me, for I have become vile.

vw@Lamentations:1:12 @ Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which is done to me, with which Jehovah has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.

vw@Lamentations:1:13 @ From above He has sent fire into my bones and it has laid them low. He has spread a net for my feet; He has turned me back; He has made me desolate and faint all the day.

vw@Lamentations:1:14 @ The yoke of my transgressions is bound by His hand, woven together, and thrust upon my neck. He has made my strength to falter; the Lord has delivered me into their hands. I am not able to rise up.

vw@Lamentations:1:15 @ The Lord has trampled all my mighty ones in my midst; He has called a gathering against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

vw@Lamentations:1:16 @ For these I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who could refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate because the enemy has prevailed.

vw@Lamentations:1:17 @ Zion spreads forth her hands, but no one comforts her. Jehovah has commanded concerning Jacob that his enemies should be all around him; Jerusalem has become as an impure thing among them.

vw@Lamentations:1:19 @ I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and my elders died in the city while they sought food for them to restore their life.

vw@Lamentations:1:20 @ Behold, O Jehovah, for I am in distress; my stomach is upset; my heart churns within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Outside the sword bereaves; at home it is like death.

vw@Lamentations:1:21 @ They hear that I sigh; but no one comforts me. All my enemies have heard of my evil; they are glad that You have done it. You will bring the day that You have called, and they shall be like me.

vw@Lamentations:1:22 @ Let all their wickedness come before You; and do to them as You have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

vw@Lamentations:2:1 @ How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger! He cast down the beauty of Israel from the heavens to the earth and remembered not His footstool in the day of His anger.

vw@Lamentations:2:2 @ The Lord has swallowed up all the dwelling places of Jacob and has not pitied. In His wrath He has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground. He has defiled the kingdom and its rulers.

vw@Lamentations:2:3 @ He has cut off all the horn of Israel in His fierce anger; He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy, and He burned against Jacob like flaming fire which devours all around.

vw@Lamentations:2:4 @ He has bent His bow like an enemy; He stood with His right hand like an adversary, and killed all who were desirable to the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out His fury like fire.

vw@Lamentations:2:5 @ The Lord was like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel; He has swallowed up all her palaces, and destroyed His strongholds. And He has increased mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.

vw@Lamentations:2:6 @ And He has done violence to His pavilion like it were a garden, and has destroyed His meeting places. Jehovah has caused the appointed meetings and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and He has despised the king and the priest in the indignation of His anger.

vw@Lamentations:2:7 @ The Lord has cast off His altar; He has abhorred His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a sound in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of the appointed meetings.

vw@Lamentations:2:8 @ Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He has stretched out a line; He has not withdrawn His hand from devouring, and He made rampart and wall lament; they languish together.

vw@Lamentations:2:9 @ Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her rulers are among the nations. The law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from Jehovah.

vw@Lamentations:2:10 @ The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground and are silent; they throw dust on their heads; they gird on sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

vw@Lamentations:2:11 @ My eyes fail with tears; my stomach is upset; my liver is poured on the ground for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and the babies faint in the streets of the city.

vw@Lamentations:2:12 @ They say to their mothers, Where are grain and wine? When they faint they are like the wounded in the streets of the city, pouring out their lives into their mothers’ bosoms.

vw@Lamentations:2:13 @ What can I testify for you? To what thing shall I compare you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I equal you, so that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your break is great like the sea! Who can heal you?

vw@Lamentations:2:14 @ Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you, and they have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives; but they have seen false utterances and causes of banishment for you.

vw@Lamentations:2:15 @ All who pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city which is called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?

vw@Lamentations:2:16 @ All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we waited for. We have found it, we have seen it.

vw@Lamentations:2:17 @ Jehovah has done what He had purposed; He has fulfilled His Word which He commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down and not pitied. And He has caused your enemy to rejoice over you; He has set up the horn of your foes.

vw@Lamentations:2:18 @ Their heart cried unto the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; give yourself no rest. Let not the daughter of your eye be silent.

vw@Lamentations:2:19 @ Arise, cry out in the night. At the beginning of the watches, pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your children who faint from hunger at the head of every street.

vw@Lamentations:2:20 @ Behold, O Jehovah, and consider to whom You have done this. Shall the women eat their offspring, children of their tender care? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

vw@Lamentations:2:21 @ Young and old lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of Your anger; You have slaughtered and not pitied.

vw@Lamentations:2:22 @ You have summoned, as in an appointed day, my terrors all around; and there was not one who escaped, or a survivor in the day of Jehovah’s anger. Those whom I have nursed and nurtured, my enemy has consumed.

vw@Lamentations:3:1 @ I, the man, have seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.

vw@Lamentations:3:3 @ Surely He is turned against me; He turns His hand all the day.

vw@Lamentations:3:6 @ He has made me live in dark places, like the dead of old.

vw@Lamentations:3:12 @ He has bent His bow and set me as a target for the arrow.

vw@Lamentations:3:13 @ He has caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my inward parts.

vw@Lamentations:3:14 @ I was a laughing stock to all my people; their taunting song all the day.

vw@Lamentations:3:19 @ Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and bitterness.

vw@Lamentations:3:21 @ I recall this to my mind; therefore I hope.

vw@Lamentations:3:23 @ They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

vw@Lamentations:3:24 @ Jehovah is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in Him.

vw@Lamentations:3:25 @ Jehovah is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

vw@Lamentations:3:26 @ It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.

vw@Lamentations:3:27 @ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

vw@Lamentations:3:29 @ He puts his mouth in the dust, if perhaps there may be hope.

vw@Lamentations:3:31 @ For the Lord will not cast off forever;

vw@Lamentations:3:32 @ for though He causes grief, yet He will have compassion according to the multitude of His kindness.

vw@Lamentations:3:33 @ For He does not wish to afflict nor grieve the sons of men;

vw@Lamentations:3:34 @ to crush all the prisoners of the earth under His feet;

vw@Lamentations:3:35 @ to turn aside the justice due a man before the face of the Most High;

vw@Lamentations:3:36 @ to pervert a man in his cause; this the Lord does not look after.

vw@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who is he who speaks and it occurs, if the Lord has not commanded it?

vw@Lamentations:3:38 @ From the mouth of the Most High does not come forth both evil and good.

vw@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why does a living man complain at the punishment for his sins?

vw@Lamentations:3:41 @ Let us lift up our heart and hands to the Mighty God in Heaven.

vw@Lamentations:3:45 @ You have made us as the offscouring and garbage in the midst of the peoples.

vw@Lamentations:3:46 @ All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

vw@Lamentations:3:48 @ Streams of water run down my eyes for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

vw@Lamentations:3:51 @ My eye pains my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

vw@Lamentations:3:53 @ They have cut off my life in the pit, and cast a stone upon me.

vw@Lamentations:3:54 @ Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off.

vw@Lamentations:3:55 @ I called on Your name, O Jehovah, out of the lowest pit.

vw@Lamentations:3:57 @ You drew near in the day that I called on You; You said, Fear not.

vw@Lamentations:3:58 @ O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life.

vw@Lamentations:3:60 @ You have seen all their vengeance, all their plots against me.

vw@Lamentations:3:61 @ You have heard their reproach, O Jehovah, all their plots against me;

vw@Lamentations:3:62 @ the lips of those who rose up against me, and their scheming against me all the day.

vw@Lamentations:3:63 @ Behold their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.

vw@Lamentations:3:64 @ Return upon them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.

vw@Lamentations:3:65 @ Give them hardness of heart; Your curse be upon them.

vw@Lamentations:3:66 @ Pursue and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of Jehovah.

vw@Lamentations:4:1 @ How the gold has become dim; the fine gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.

vw@Lamentations:4:2 @ The precious sons of Zion, weighed against refined gold, are counted as earthen vessels, the work of the hands of the potter!

vw@Lamentations:4:3 @ Even the monsters draw out the breast to suckle their young. But the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

vw@Lamentations:4:4 @ The tongue of the infant cleaves to the roof of his mouth in thirst; the young children ask for bread; there is none broken to them.

vw@Lamentations:4:5 @ Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets; those brought up in scarlet embrace refuse heaps.

vw@Lamentations:4:6 @ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment, with no hands to writhe over her.

vw@Lamentations:4:7 @ Her Nazirites were purer than snow, whiter than milk; they were redder of body than rubies; their polishing as sapphires.

vw@Lamentations:4:8 @ Their appearance is blacker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled on their bones; it is dried up; it has become like wood.

vw@Lamentations:4:9 @ Better off are the ones slain by the sword than the ones slain by hunger; for they pine away, pierced through for lack of the fruits of the fields.

vw@Lamentations:4:10 @ The hands of the compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

vw@Lamentations:4:12 @ The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy would have entered the gates into Jerusalem.

vw@Lamentations:4:13 @ For the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, shedding the blood of the just in her midst,

vw@Lamentations:4:14 @ they have wandered as blind men in the streets; they are defiled with blood, so that no one could touch their clothes.

vw@Lamentations:4:15 @ They cried out to them, Depart! Unclean! Depart, depart! Do not touch us! When they fled and wandered, they said among the nations, They will not continue to live there.

vw@Lamentations:4:16 @ The face of Jehovah has scattered them out; He will no longer have regard for them; they did not respect the persons of the priests, nor show favor to the elders.

vw@Lamentations:4:18 @ They have hunted our steps to keep us from going in our streets; our end was near, our days were fulfilled, for our end has come.

vw@Lamentations:4:19 @ Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they pursued us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

vw@Lamentations:4:20 @ The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was captured in their pits; of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

vw@Lamentations:4:21 @ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, who lives in the land of Uz. The cup also shall pass through unto you; you shall become drunk and stripped naked.

vw@Lamentations:4:22 @ The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; He will send you into captivity no more. He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins.

vw@Lamentations:5:3 @ We are orphans and fatherless; our mothers are as widows.

vw@Lamentations:5:6 @ We have given the hand to Egypt, to Assyria, to be satisfied with bread.

vw@Lamentations:5:7 @ Our fathers have sinned and are no more; but we have borne their iniquities.

vw@Lamentations:5:8 @ Servants rule over us; there is no one to deliver out of their hand.

vw@Lamentations:5:9 @ We bring in our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

vw@Lamentations:5:10 @ Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.

vw@Lamentations:5:11 @ They raped the women in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah.

vw@Lamentations:5:12 @ Rulers were hung up by the hand; the presence of elders was not honored.

vw@Lamentations:5:13 @ They took the young men to grind, and the youths stumbled under loads of wood.

vw@Lamentations:5:14 @ The elders have ceased gathering at the gate, the young men from their music.

vw@Lamentations:5:15 @ The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance has turned into mourning.

vw@Lamentations:5:16 @ The crown has fallen from our head. Woe unto us, for we have sinned.

vw@Lamentations:5:17 @ Our heart is faint because of this; our eyes are dim because of these things.

vw@Lamentations:5:18 @ The mountain of Zion is laid waste; the foxes walk upon it.

vw@Ezekiel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on 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.

vw@Ezekiel:1:2 @ On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,

vw@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 upon him there.

vw@Ezekiel:1:4 @ And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with flashing fire in it; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

vw@Ezekiel:1:5 @ Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

vw@Ezekiel:1:7 @ Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze.

vw@Ezekiel:1:8 @ And the hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.

vw@Ezekiel:1:9 @ Their wings joined one to another. They did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.

vw@Ezekiel:1:10 @ As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.

vw@Ezekiel:1:11 @ Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one were joined to one another, and two covered their bodies.

vw@Ezekiel:1:12 @ And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit was to go, and they did not turn when they went.

vw@Ezekiel:1:13 @ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

vw@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures were running and returning, in appearance like a flash of lightning.

vw@Ezekiel:1:15 @ Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside the living creatures with its four faces.

vw@Ezekiel:1:16 @ The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workmanship was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

vw@Ezekiel:1:17 @ When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not change directions as they went.

vw@Ezekiel:1:18 @ As for their rims, they were so high that they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them.

vw@Ezekiel:1:19 @ 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.

vw@Ezekiel:1:20 @ Wherever the spirit was to go, there they went, where the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted up alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

vw@Ezekiel:1:21 @ When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up alongside them; for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

vw@Ezekiel:1:22 @ The likeness of the expanse above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out above over their heads.

vw@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the expanse their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of their bodies.

vw@Ezekiel:1:24 @ When they went, I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the sound of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings.

vw@Ezekiel:1:25 @ And there was a voice from the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.

vw@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.

vw@Ezekiel:1:27 @ Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.

vw@Ezekiel:1:28 @ As the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

vw@Ezekiel:2:2 @ Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speak to me.

vw@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And He said to me: Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

vw@Ezekiel:2:4 @ For they are impudent and hardhearted children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:2:5 @ As for them, whether they hear or whether they forbear; for they are a rebellious house; yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

vw@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:2:7 @ You shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.

vw@Ezekiel:2:9 @ And when I looked, behold, there was a hand stretched out to me; and lo, a scroll of a book was in it.

vw@Ezekiel:2:10 @ And He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

vw@Ezekiel:3:1 @ Moreover He said to me, Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:3:2 @ So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat the scroll.

vw@Ezekiel:3:4 @ Then He said to me: Son of man, Go. Come to the house of Israel and speak My Words to them.

vw@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:3:6 @ not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

vw@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you, because they are not willing to listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

vw@Ezekiel:3:8 @ Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.

vw@Ezekiel:3:9 @ Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:3:11 @ And go! Come to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

vw@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: Blessed is the glory of Jehovah from His place!

vw@Ezekiel:3:13 @ I also heard the sound of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and the sound of the wheels alongside them, and a great thunderous sound.

vw@Ezekiel:3:14 @ So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.

vw@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and I sat where they sat, and remained there in shock among them seven days.

vw@Ezekiel:3:16 @ Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:3:17 @ Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear the Word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:

vw@Ezekiel:3:18 @ When I say to the wicked, You shall die the death, and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

vw@Ezekiel:3:19 @ Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

vw@Ezekiel:3:21 @ Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall live life because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.

vw@Ezekiel:3:22 @ And the hand of Jehovah was upon me there, and He said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and there I will talk with you.

vw@Ezekiel:3:23 @ So I arose and went forth into the plain. And behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, like the glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

vw@Ezekiel:3:24 @ Then the Spirit entered into me and stood me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: Go, shut yourself inside your house.

vw@Ezekiel:3:25 @ But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put ropes on you and bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them.

vw@Ezekiel:3:26 @ And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and not be one rebuking them, for they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:3:27 @ But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah. He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:4:3 @ Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be under siege, and you shall lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:4:4 @ Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:4:5 @ For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:4:6 @ And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year.

vw@Ezekiel:4:7 @ Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.

vw@Ezekiel:4:8 @ And surely I will put bands on you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have completed the days of your siege.

vw@Ezekiel:4:9 @ Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself, according to the number of days that you lie on your side; three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it.

vw@Ezekiel:4:12 @ And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using dung of human excrement, in their eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:4:13 @ And Jehovah said, Even so shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.

vw@Ezekiel:4:15 @ Then He said to me, See, I am giving you cow manure instead of human dung, and you shall prepare your bread over it.

vw@Ezekiel:4:16 @ Moreover He said to me, Son of man, behold, I will cut off the food supply in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and in horror,

vw@Ezekiel:5:1 @ And you, son of man, take a sharp knife, a barber’s razor, take it to yourself and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair.

vw@Ezekiel:5:2 @ You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter into the wind: and I will draw out a sword after them.

vw@Ezekiel:5:3 @ You shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment.

vw@Ezekiel:5:4 @ Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:5:5 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations and the lands all around her.

vw@Ezekiel:5:6 @ And she has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the lands that are all around her; for they have rejected My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.

vw@Ezekiel:5:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you;

vw@Ezekiel:5:8 @ therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the eyes of the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:5:9 @ And I will do in you what I have never done, and the likes of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:5:10 @ Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds.

vw@Ezekiel:5:11 @ Therefore, as I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.

vw@Ezekiel:5:12 @ A third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and a third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter the other third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

vw@Ezekiel:5:13 @ Thus shall My anger be spent, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.

vw@Ezekiel:5:14 @ Moreover I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the eyes of all who pass by.

vw@Ezekiel:5:15 @ So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a chastening, and a horror to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments against you in anger and in fury and in furious punishment. I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:5:16 @ When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your food supply.

vw@Ezekiel:5:17 @ Thus I will send against you famine and evil beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:6:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:6:2 @ Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

vw@Ezekiel:6:3 @ and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: Behold I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

vw@Ezekiel:6:5 @ And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.

vw@Ezekiel:6:6 @ In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and found guilty, your idols broken and brought to an end, your incense altars cut down, and your works blotted out.

vw@Ezekiel:6:7 @ And the slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:6:8 @ Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered throughout the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:6:9 @ And those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has turned away from Me, and by their eyes which go whoring after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they did in all their abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:6:10 @ And they shall know that I am Jehovah; I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.

vw@Ezekiel:6:11 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Strike with your hands and stamp with your feet, and say, Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

vw@Ezekiel:6:12 @ He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus will I spend My fury upon them.

vw@Ezekiel:6:13 @ Then you shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain are among their idols all around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, under every green tree, and under every thick oak, wherever they offered soothing aromas to all their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:6:14 @ Thus I will stretch out My hand against them and make the land desolate, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah, in all their dwelling places. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:7:1 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:7:2 @ And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

vw@Ezekiel:7:3 @ Now the end has come upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:7:4 @ My eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity; but I will repay your ways, and your abominations will be in your midst; then you shall know that I am Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:7:5 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: An evil! An only evil! Behold, it has come!

vw@Ezekiel:7:6 @ An end has come, the end has come; it has awakened against you; behold, it has come!

vw@Ezekiel:7:7 @ Morning has come to you, you who dwell in the land; the time has come, a day of trouble is near, and not a shout of rejoicing in the mountains.

vw@Ezekiel:7:10 @ Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Morning has gone forth; the staff has blossomed, pride has budded.

vw@Ezekiel:7:11 @ Violence has risen up into a staff of wickedness; none of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their abundance, nor any eminent among them.

vw@Ezekiel:7:12 @ The time has come, the day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude.

vw@Ezekiel:7:13 @ For the seller shall not return to what has been sold, though he may still be alive (for the vision concerns the whole multitude, and shall not change); no one will strengthen himself who lives in iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:7:14 @ They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready, but no one goes to battle; for My wrath is on all their multitude.

vw@Ezekiel:7:15 @ The sword is outside, and the pestilence and famine within. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword; and whoever is in the city, famine and pestilence will devour him.

vw@Ezekiel:7:16 @ Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each for his iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:7:18 @ They will also be girded with sackcloth; trembling will cover them; shame will be on every face, and baldness on all their heads.

vw@Ezekiel:7:19 @ They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like filthiness; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah; they will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their stomachs, because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:7:20 @ As for the beauty of His ornaments, He set it in majesty; but they made from it the images of their abominations; their detestable things; therefore I have made it like refuse to them.

vw@Ezekiel:7:21 @ And I will give it as plunder into the hands of strangers, and to the wicked of the earth as spoils; and they shall defile it.

vw@Ezekiel:7:22 @ I will turn My face from them, and they will defile My secret place; for violent ones shall enter it and defile it.

vw@Ezekiel:7:23 @ Make a chain, for the land is filled with bloody judgments, and the city is full of violence.

vw@Ezekiel:7:24 @ Therefore I will bring the most evil of the nations, and they will possess their houses; I will bring an end to the pomp of the strong, and their holy places shall be defiled.

vw@Ezekiel:7:25 @ Destruction comes! They will seek peace, but there shall be none.

vw@Ezekiel:7:26 @ Disaster will come upon disaster, and rumor will be upon rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet; but the Law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

vw@Ezekiel:7:27 @ The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land will be terrified. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their judgment I will punish them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:8:1 @ And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell upon me there.

vw@Ezekiel:8:2 @ Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire; from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber.

vw@Ezekiel:8:3 @ And He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.

vw@Ezekiel:8:4 @ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.

vw@Ezekiel:8:5 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, toward the north at the gate of the altar, was this image of jealousy at the entrance.

vw@Ezekiel:8:6 @ Furthermore He said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:8:7 @ So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

vw@Ezekiel:8:8 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, dig into the wall; and when I dug into the wall, there was an opening.

vw@Ezekiel:8:9 @ And He said to me, Go in, and see the evil abominations which they do there.

vw@Ezekiel:8:10 @ So I went in and saw; and behold, every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, carved all around on the wall.

vw@Ezekiel:8:11 @ And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up.

vw@Ezekiel:8:12 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, Jehovah does not see us, Jehovah has forsaken the land.

vw@Ezekiel:8:13 @ And He said to me, Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing.

vw@Ezekiel:8:14 @ So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the house of Jehovah; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

vw@Ezekiel:8:15 @ Then He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.

vw@Ezekiel:8:16 @ So He brought me into the inner court of the house of Jehovah; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing down to the sun toward the east.

vw@Ezekiel:8:17 @ And He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.

vw@Ezekiel:8:18 @ Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.

vw@Ezekiel:9:1 @ Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.

vw@Ezekiel:9:2 @ And, behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

vw@Ezekiel:9:3 @ And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the house. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side;

vw@Ezekiel:9:4 @ and Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.

vw@Ezekiel:9:5 @ To the others He said in my hearing, Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have pity.

vw@Ezekiel:9:6 @ Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. So they began with the elders who were before the house.

vw@Ezekiel:9:7 @ Then He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth! And they went out and killed in the city.

vw@Ezekiel:9:8 @ So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?

vw@Ezekiel:9:9 @ Then He said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is full of perversity; for they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land; and, Jehovah does not see!

vw@Ezekiel:9:10 @ And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds upon their own head.

vw@Ezekiel:9:11 @ And behold, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, I have done as You commanded me.

vw@Ezekiel:10:1 @ And I looked, and there in the expanse that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

vw@Ezekiel:10:2 @ Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in before my eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:10:3 @ Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the house when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.

vw@Ezekiel:10:4 @ Then the glory of Jehovah went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:10:5 @ And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

vw@Ezekiel:10:6 @ And it happened, when He had commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim, that he went in and stood beside the wheels.

vw@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

vw@Ezekiel:10:8 @ And under the cherubim’s wings appeared the form of a man’s hand.

vw@Ezekiel:10:9 @ And when I looked, behold, four wheels were beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub and another wheel beside each other cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was as the color of a beryl stone.

vw@Ezekiel:10:10 @ As for their appearance, all four had one likeness; as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

vw@Ezekiel:10:11 @ When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside as they went.

vw@Ezekiel:10:12 @ And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were full of eyes all around.

vw@Ezekiel:10:13 @ As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, Rolling Wheel.

vw@Ezekiel:10:14 @ And each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

vw@Ezekiel:10:15 @ And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature that I saw by the River Chebar.

vw@Ezekiel:10:16 @ And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels themselves did not turn from beside them.

vw@Ezekiel:10:17 @ When they stood still, these stood still; and when they rose up, these rose up; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

vw@Ezekiel:10:18 @ Then the glory of Jehovah departed from the threshold of the house and stood over the cherubim.

vw@Ezekiel:10:19 @ And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.

vw@Ezekiel:10:20 @ This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

vw@Ezekiel:10:21 @ Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

vw@Ezekiel:10:22 @ And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance, even theirs. They each went straight forward.

vw@Ezekiel:11:1 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the house of Jehovah, which faces eastward; and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

vw@Ezekiel:11:2 @ And He said to me: Son of man, these are the men who devise wickedness and give evil advice in this city,

vw@Ezekiel:11:3 @ who say, The time is not near; let us build houses. This city is the kettle, and we are the flesh.

vw@Ezekiel:11:4 @ Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man!

vw@Ezekiel:11:5 @ And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and said to me, Speak! Thus says Jehovah: Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the thoughts that come into your mind.

vw@Ezekiel:11:6 @ You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.

vw@Ezekiel:11:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the flesh, and this city is the kettle; but I shall bring you out of the midst of it.

vw@Ezekiel:11:8 @ You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:11:9 @ And I will bring you out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments against you.

vw@Ezekiel:11:10 @ You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you to the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:11:11 @ This city shall not be your kettle, nor shall you be the flesh in its midst. I will judge you in the borders of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:11:12 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah; for you have not walked in My statutes nor executed My judgments, but have done according to the customs of the nations which are all around you.

vw@Ezekiel:11:13 @ And it happened, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?

vw@Ezekiel:11:14 @ Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:11:15 @ Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Go far away from Jehovah; this land has been given to us as a possession.

vw@Ezekiel:11:16 @ Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Although I have cast them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them throughout the earth, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the lands where they have gone.

vw@Ezekiel:11:17 @ Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the lands where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:11:18 @ And they will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.

vw@Ezekiel:11:19 @ And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,

vw@Ezekiel:11:20 @ that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

vw@Ezekiel:11:21 @ But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds upon their own heads, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:11:22 @ Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.

vw@Ezekiel:11:23 @ And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.

vw@Ezekiel:11:24 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.

vw@Ezekiel:11:25 @ So I spoke to those of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had shown me.

vw@Ezekiel:12:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:12:2 @ Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:12:3 @ Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for exile, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into exile to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:12:4 @ By day you shall bring out your belongings in their sight, as though going into captivity; and at evening you shall go in their sight, like those who go into captivity.

vw@Ezekiel:12:5 @ Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your belongings out through it.

vw@Ezekiel:12:6 @ In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:12:7 @ So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity, and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.

vw@Ezekiel:12:8 @ And in the morning the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:12:9 @ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?

vw@Ezekiel:12:10 @ Say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are among them.

vw@Ezekiel:12:11 @ Say, I am a sign to you. As I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.

vw@Ezekiel:12:12 @ And the prince who is among them shall bear his belongings on his shoulder in the dark and go out. They shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it. He shall cover his face, so that he cannot see the ground with his eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:12:13 @ I will also spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

vw@Ezekiel:12:14 @ And I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.

vw@Ezekiel:12:15 @ And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:12:16 @ But I will leave of them a number of men from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations wherever they go. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:12:17 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:12:19 @ And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with horror, so that her land may be emptied of all who are in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.

vw@Ezekiel:12:20 @ Then the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall become desolate; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:12:21 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:12:22 @ Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?

vw@Ezekiel:12:23 @ Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel. But say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.

vw@Ezekiel:12:24 @ For no more shall there be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:12:25 @ For I, Jehovah, speak, and the Word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be drawn out. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:12:26 @ Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:12:27 @ Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times afar off.

vw@Ezekiel:12:28 @ Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: None of My words will be drawn out any more, but the word which I speak will be done, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:13:2 @ Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:13:3 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!

vw@Ezekiel:13:4 @ O Israel, your prophets are like foxes in the deserts.

vw@Ezekiel:13:5 @ You have not gone up into the gaps, nor built a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle in the day of Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:6 @ They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, Jehovah declares! But Jehovah has not sent them; yet they hope that their word may be confirmed.

vw@Ezekiel:13:8 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have spoken vanity and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:9 @ And My hand will be against the prophets who see vanity and who divine lies; they shall not be in the council of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:10 @ Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, Peace! when there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and plasters it with whitewash.

vw@Ezekiel:13:11 @ Say to those who plaster it with whitewash, that it will fall. There will be a flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall break it down.

vw@Ezekiel:13:12 @ Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?

vw@Ezekiel:13:13 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

vw@Ezekiel:13:14 @ Thus I will break down the wall you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:15 @ Thus will I accomplish My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it;

vw@Ezekiel:13:16 @ that is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:17 @ Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them,

vw@Ezekiel:13:18 @ and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the women who sew amulets on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height, to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and save the souls alive to yourselves?

vw@Ezekiel:13:19 @ And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, executing souls that should not die, and keeping alive the souls that should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?

vw@Ezekiel:13:20 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your amulets by which you hunt souls to make them fly. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt to make them fly.

vw@Ezekiel:13:21 @ I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be as prey in your hand. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:22 @ Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not pained; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to restore his life.

vw@Ezekiel:13:23 @ Therefore you shall no longer see vanity nor divine divinations; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:14:1 @ Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.

vw@Ezekiel:14:2 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:14:3 @ Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their faces. Should I be inquired of at all by them?

vw@Ezekiel:14:4 @ Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I, Jehovah will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,

vw@Ezekiel:14:5 @ that I may catch the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from Me through their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:14:6 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:14:7 @ For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the stranger who sojourns in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I Jehovah will answer him by Myself.

vw@Ezekiel:14:8 @ I will set My face against that man and make him desolate as a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:14:9 @ And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I Jehovah have induced that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:14:10 @ And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired,

vw@Ezekiel:14:11 @ that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me, nor be defiled anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be My people and I may be their God, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:14:12 @ The Word of Jehovah came again to me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:14:14 @ And although these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:14:15 @ If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts,

vw@Ezekiel:14:16 @ although these three men were in it, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; only they would be delivered, and the land would be desolate.

vw@Ezekiel:14:17 @ Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, and I cut off man and beast from it,

vw@Ezekiel:14:18 @ although these three men were in it, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves would be delivered.

vw@Ezekiel:14:20 @ although Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.

vw@Ezekiel:14:21 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: How much more shall it be when I send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem; the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence; to cut off man and beast from it!

vw@Ezekiel:14:22 @ Yet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be brought out, both sons and daughters; surely they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all that I have brought upon it.

vw@Ezekiel:14:23 @ And they will comfort you when you see their ways and their doings; and you shall know that I have done nothing without cause, all that I have done in it, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:15:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:15:2 @ Son of man, how is the wood of the vine, the vine branch, better than any other wood which is among the trees of the forest?

vw@Ezekiel:15:4 @ Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work?

vw@Ezekiel:15:5 @ Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned.

vw@Ezekiel:15:6 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

vw@Ezekiel:15:7 @ and I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. And you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set My face against them.

vw@Ezekiel:15:8 @ And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously unfaithfully, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:16:1 @ Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:16:3 @ and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

vw@Ezekiel:16:4 @ As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths.

vw@Ezekiel:16:5 @ No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, for you yourself were loathed on the day you were born.

vw@Ezekiel:16:7 @ I have made you a multitude, like a plant in the field; and you grew, became great, bedecked with ornaments. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

vw@Ezekiel:16:8 @ When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread the edge of My garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:16:9 @ Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood, and I anointed you with oil.

vw@Ezekiel:16:10 @ I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

vw@Ezekiel:16:14 @ Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed upon you, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:16:16 @ You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places for yourself, and committed adultery on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.

vw@Ezekiel:16:17 @ You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and committed adultery with them.

vw@Ezekiel:16:18 @ And you took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them.

vw@Ezekiel:16:19 @ Also My food which I gave you; the fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you; you set it before them as a soothing aroma; and so it was, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:16:20 @ Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter,

vw@Ezekiel:16:21 @ that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire?

vw@Ezekiel:16:22 @ And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, squirming in your blood.

vw@Ezekiel:16:23 @ And so it was, after all your wickedness (Woe, woe unto you! declares the Lord Jehovah);

vw@Ezekiel:16:25 @ You built your high places at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry.

vw@Ezekiel:16:26 @ You also committed adultery with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.

vw@Ezekiel:16:27 @ Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your licentious ways.

vw@Ezekiel:16:28 @ You also committed adultery with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you committed adultery with them and still were not satisfied.

vw@Ezekiel:16:29 @ Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry in the land of Canaan, as far as Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.

vw@Ezekiel:16:30 @ How weak is your heart! declares the Lord Jehovah, seeing you do all these things; the deeds of a domineering woman of prostitution.

vw@Ezekiel:16:31 @ You build your mound at the head of every road, and built your high place in every open place. Yet you were not like a prostitute, in that you scorned payment.

vw@Ezekiel:16:33 @ Men give gifts to all prostitutes, but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.

vw@Ezekiel:16:34 @ You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a prostitute. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.

vw@Ezekiel:16:35 @ Now then, O prostitute! Hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:16:36 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,

vw@Ezekiel:16:37 @ surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

vw@Ezekiel:16:39 @ I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your mounds and break down your high places. They shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

vw@Ezekiel:16:40 @ They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones and cut you with their swords.

vw@Ezekiel:16:41 @ And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will put an end to your harlotry, and you shall no longer hire lovers.

vw@Ezekiel:16:43 @ Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but agitated Me with all these things, surely I will also recompense your deeds upon your own head, says the Lord Jehovah. And you shall not commit licentiousness in addition to all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:16:44 @ Indeed everyone who quotes proverbs will use this proverb against you: Like mother, like daughter!

vw@Ezekiel:16:45 @ You are your mother’s daughter, loathing her husband and children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

vw@Ezekiel:16:46 @ And your older sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters.

vw@Ezekiel:16:47 @ Yet you did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.

vw@Ezekiel:16:48 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done.

vw@Ezekiel:16:49 @ Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

vw@Ezekiel:16:50 @ And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.

vw@Ezekiel:16:51 @ Samaria did not commit half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done.

vw@Ezekiel:16:52 @ You who judged your sisters, bear your own shame also, because your sins were more abominable than theirs; they are more righteous than you. Yes, be disgraced also, and bear your own shame, because you justified your sisters.

vw@Ezekiel:16:53 @ When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back the captives of your captivity among them,

vw@Ezekiel:16:54 @ so that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did, since you comforted them.

vw@Ezekiel:16:55 @ When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state.

vw@Ezekiel:16:56 @ For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

vw@Ezekiel:16:57 @ before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you from all around.

vw@Ezekiel:16:59 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

vw@Ezekiel:16:60 @ Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

vw@Ezekiel:16:61 @ Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

vw@Ezekiel:16:63 @ so that you may remember and be ashamed. And you will never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide atonement for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:17:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:17:2 @ Son of man, propound a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:17:3 @ and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with large wings and long pinions, full of feathers of various colors, came to Lebanon and took the highest branch from the cedar.

vw@Ezekiel:17:5 @ Then he took some of the seed of the land and planted it in a fertile field; he placed it by abundant waters and set it like a willow tree.

vw@Ezekiel:17:7 @ There was another great eagle with large wings and many feathers; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and stretched its branches toward him, away from the garden terrace where it had been planted, that he might water it.

vw@Ezekiel:17:9 @ Say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots, cut off its fruit, and leave it to wither? All of its sprouting leaves will wither, and no great power or many people will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.

vw@Ezekiel:17:10 @ Behold, being planted, will it prosper? Will it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It shall wither in the garden terrace where it sprouted.

vw@Ezekiel:17:11 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:17:12 @ Say now to the rebellious house: Do you not know what these things mean? Tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem and has taken its king and rulers, and led them with him to Babylon.

vw@Ezekiel:17:13 @ And he has taken the king’s seed, made a covenant with him, and put him under oath. He also has taken away the mighty of the land,

vw@Ezekiel:17:14 @ that the kingdom might be low, that it might not lift itself up, but that by the keeping of his covenant it might stand.

vw@Ezekiel:17:15 @ But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still be delivered?

vw@Ezekiel:17:16 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, there he shall die with him in the midst of Babylon.

vw@Ezekiel:17:17 @ Nor will Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company do anything in the war, when they heap up a siege mound and build a wall to cut off many persons.

vw@Ezekiel:17:18 @ Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact gave his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.

vw@Ezekiel:17:19 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely My oath which he despised, and My covenant which he broke, I will recompense upon his own head.

vw@Ezekiel:17:20 @ And I will spread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there for the treason by which he betrayed Me.

vw@Ezekiel:17:21 @ And all his fugitives with all his troops shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered to every wind. And you shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:17:22 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will take also one of the highest branches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.

vw@Ezekiel:17:23 @ On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. And under it will dwell birds of every wing; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell.

vw@Ezekiel:17:24 @ And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.

vw@Ezekiel:18:1 @ The Word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:18:2 @ What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are dull?

vw@Ezekiel:18:3 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:18:4 @ Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; the soul who sins shall die.

vw@Ezekiel:18:6 @ if he has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor approached a menstruating woman;

vw@Ezekiel:18:7 @ if he has not oppressed anyone, but has restored to the debtor his pledge; has plundered no one by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry and covered the naked with clothing;

vw@Ezekiel:18:9 @ if he has walked in My statutes and kept My judgments faithfully; he is righteous. He shall live life, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:18:10 @ If he begets a son who is a robber or who sheds blood, who does any of these things,

vw@Ezekiel:18:11 @ and does none of those duties, but has eaten on the mountains or defiled his neighbor’s wife;

vw@Ezekiel:18:12 @ if he has oppressed the poor and needy, plundered by robbery, not restored the pledge, has lifted his eyes to the idols, or committed abomination;

vw@Ezekiel:18:13 @ if he has exacted usury or taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, he shall die the death; his blood shall be upon him.

vw@Ezekiel:18:14 @ If, however, he begets a son who sees all the sins which his father has done, and considers but does not do likewise;

vw@Ezekiel:18:15 @ who has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;

vw@Ezekiel:18:16 @ has not oppressed anyone, nor withheld a pledge, nor plundered by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry and covered the naked with clothing;

vw@Ezekiel:18:17 @ who has withdrawn his hand from the poor and not received usury or increase, but has executed My judgments and walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father; he shall live life!

vw@Ezekiel:18:18 @ As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, plundered his brother by robbery, and did what is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:18:19 @ Yet you say, Why? Does not the son bear the guilt of the father? When the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and done them, he shall live life.

vw@Ezekiel:18:20 @ The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

vw@Ezekiel:18:22 @ None of the transgressions which he has done shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.

vw@Ezekiel:18:23 @ Do I delight with pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Jehovah, and not that he should turn back from his ways and live?

vw@Ezekiel:18:24 @ But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the treachery of his unfaithfulness, and the sin which he has sinned, in them he shall die.

vw@Ezekiel:18:25 @ Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not fair. Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair.

vw@Ezekiel:18:26 @ When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is for the iniquity which he has done that he dies.

vw@Ezekiel:18:27 @ Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he has done, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive.

vw@Ezekiel:18:28 @ Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions which he has done, he shall live life; he shall not die.

vw@Ezekiel:18:29 @ Yet the house of Israel says, The way of the Lord is not fair. O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair.

vw@Ezekiel:18:30 @ Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord Jehovah. Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity shall not be a stumbling block to you.

vw@Ezekiel:18:31 @ Cast away from you all the transgressions by which you have transgressed, and prepare for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die, O house of Israel?

vw@Ezekiel:18:32 @ For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies, declares the Lord Jehovah. Therefore turn and live!

vw@Ezekiel:19:1 @ Moreover take up a lamentation for the rulers of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:19:2 @ and say: What is your mother? A lioness: she lay down among the lions; among the young lions she nourished her cubs.

vw@Ezekiel:19:4 @ The nations also heard of him; he was trapped in their pit, and they brought him with chains to the land of Egypt.

vw@Ezekiel:19:5 @ When she saw that she waited, that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.

vw@Ezekiel:19:6 @ He went around among the lions, and became a young lion; he learned to catch prey; he devoured men.

vw@Ezekiel:19:7 @ He knew their desolate places, and laid waste their cities; the land with its fullness was desolated by the sound of his roaring.

vw@Ezekiel:19:8 @ Then the nations set against him from the provinces on every side, and spread their net over him; he was caught in their pit.

vw@Ezekiel:19:9 @ They put him in a cage with chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him in hunting nets, so that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:19:10 @ Your mother was like a vine in your blood, planted by the waters, fruitful and full of branches because of many waters.

vw@Ezekiel:19:11 @ She had strong branches for the scepters of rulers. She towered in stature above the thick branches, and was seen in her height amid the abundance of her branches.

vw@Ezekiel:19:12 @ But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit. Her strong branches were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.

vw@Ezekiel:19:13 @ And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

vw@Ezekiel:20:1 @ It came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain men of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.

vw@Ezekiel:20:2 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:20:3 @ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Have you come to inquire of Me? As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

vw@Ezekiel:20:4 @ Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Then cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.

vw@Ezekiel:20:5 @ And say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand and swore to them, saying, I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Ezekiel:20:6 @ On that day I raised My hand and swore to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:20:7 @ Then I said to them, Each of you, throw away the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Ezekiel:20:8 @ But they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me. They did not, each man, cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

vw@Ezekiel:20:9 @ But I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

vw@Ezekiel:20:10 @ Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

vw@Ezekiel:20:11 @ And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them.

vw@Ezekiel:20:12 @ Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah who sets them apart.

vw@Ezekiel:20:13 @ But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

vw@Ezekiel:20:14 @ But I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

vw@Ezekiel:20:15 @ So I also raised My hand and swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all the earth,

vw@Ezekiel:20:16 @ because they despised My judgments and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:17 @ Nevertheless My eye spared them from destruction. I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.

vw@Ezekiel:20:18 @ But I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:19 @ I am Jehovah your God. Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them;

vw@Ezekiel:20:20 @ set apart My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Ezekiel:20:21 @ Nevertheless, the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and did not keep My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.

vw@Ezekiel:20:22 @ Nevertheless I withdrew My hand and acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

vw@Ezekiel:20:23 @ And I raised My hand and swore to those in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth,

vw@Ezekiel:20:24 @ because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, profaned My Sabbaths, and their eyes followed after their fathers’ idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:25 @ Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live;

vw@Ezekiel:20:26 @ and I defiled them by their gifts, in that they caused all that open the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:20:27 @ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me, by being treacherously unfaithful to Me.

vw@Ezekiel:20:28 @ For when I brought them into the land concerning which I had raised My hand and sworn to give it to them, and they saw all the high hills and all the thick trees, there they offered their sacrifices and provoked Me with their offerings. There they also sent up their soothing aroma and poured out their drink offerings.

vw@Ezekiel:20:29 @ Then I said to them, What is this high place to which you go? And its name is called Bamah to this day.

vw@Ezekiel:20:30 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Are you defiling yourselves in the manner of your fathers, and committing adultery with their abominations?

vw@Ezekiel:20:31 @ For when you offer your gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

vw@Ezekiel:20:32 @ What you have in your mind shall never be, when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families in other lands, serving wood and stone.

vw@Ezekiel:20:33 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you.

vw@Ezekiel:20:34 @ And I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the lands where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

vw@Ezekiel:20:35 @ And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead with you face to face.

vw@Ezekiel:20:36 @ Just as I judged your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:20:37 @ I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

vw@Ezekiel:20:38 @ I will purge out the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land where they dwell, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you will know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:20:39 @ As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord Jehovah: Go, serve every one of you his idols, even hereafter, if you will not obey me. But profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:40 @ For on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah, there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things.

vw@Ezekiel:20:41 @ I will accept you as a soothing aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the lands where you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:20:42 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I raised My hand and swore to give it to your fathers.

vw@Ezekiel:20:43 @ And there you shall remember your ways and all your evil deeds with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have done.

vw@Ezekiel:20:44 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:20:45 @ Furthermore the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:20:46 @ Son of man, set your face toward the south; drop a word toward the south and prophesy against the forest land, the South,

vw@Ezekiel:20:47 @ and say to the forest of the South, Hear the Word of Jehovah! Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it.

vw@Ezekiel:20:49 @ Then I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! They say of me, Does he not speak parables?

vw@Ezekiel:21:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:21:2 @ Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, drop a word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

vw@Ezekiel:21:3 @ and say to the land of Israel, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am against you, and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

vw@Ezekiel:21:4 @ Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you, therefore My sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north,

vw@Ezekiel:21:6 @ Sigh therefore, son of man, with a breaking heart, and groan with bitterness before their eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:21:7 @ And it shall be when they say to you, Why are you sighing? that you shall answer, Because of the news; when it comes, every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming and shall be brought to pass, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:21:8 @ Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:21:10 @ It is sharpened to slaughter and butcher, polished to flash like lightning! Should we then make mirth? It despises the scepter of My son, as every tree.

vw@Ezekiel:21:11 @ And He has given it to be polished, that it may be handled; this sword is sharpened, and it is polished to be given into the hand of the slayer.

vw@Ezekiel:21:12 @ Cry and howl, son of man; for it will be against My people, against all the rulers of Israel. The sword will be thrown against My people; therefore slap your thigh,

vw@Ezekiel:21:13 @ because it is a testing. And what if the sword despises even the scepter? It shall be no more, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:21:14 @ You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike hand to hand; strike. The third time let the sword be doubled. It is the sword that slays, the sword that slays the great men, that surrounds them.

vw@Ezekiel:21:15 @ I have set the slaughter of the sword against all their gates, That the heart may melt and many may stumble. Ah! It is made bright; it is grasped for the slaughter:

vw@Ezekiel:21:16 @ Be sharp to the right! Set yourself to the left; wherever your face is appointed!

vw@Ezekiel:21:18 @ The Word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:21:19 @ And you, son of man, appoint for yourself two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come; both of them shall come forth from the same land. Make a sign; put it at the head of the road to the city.

vw@Ezekiel:21:20 @ Appoint a road for the sword to go into Rabbah of the Ammonites, and to Judah, into fortified Jerusalem.

vw@Ezekiel:21:21 @ For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the road, at the head of the two roads, to use divination: he shakes the arrows, he consults the images, he looks at the liver.

vw@Ezekiel:21:22 @ In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem: to set up battering rams, to call for a slaughter, to lift the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to heap up a mound, and to build a siege wall.

vw@Ezekiel:21:23 @ And it will be to them like a false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn oaths with them; but he will bring their iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.

vw@Ezekiel:21:24 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken with the hand.

vw@Ezekiel:21:26 @ thus says the Lord Jehovah: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; nothing shall remain as it was. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.

vw@Ezekiel:21:28 @ And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach; and say, A sword, a sword is drawn, polished for slaughter, for consuming, for flashing;

vw@Ezekiel:21:29 @ while they see false visions for you, while they divine a lie to you, to bring you upon the necks of the slain, the wicked whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end.

vw@Ezekiel:21:30 @ Return it to its sheath. I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your birth.

vw@Ezekiel:21:31 @ And I will pour out My indignation upon you; I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath, and deliver you into the hands of brutal men who are skilled in destruction.

vw@Ezekiel:21:32 @ You shall be fuel for the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land. You shall not be remembered, for I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:22:1 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:22:2 @ And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations!

vw@Ezekiel:22:3 @ Then say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: The city sheds blood in her midst, that her time may come. And she makes idols within herself to defile herself.

vw@Ezekiel:22:4 @ You are guilty by the blood which you have shed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all lands.

vw@Ezekiel:22:6 @ Behold, the rulers of Israel: each one was in you by his power to shed blood in you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:7 @ In you they have made light of father and mother; in your midst they have oppressed the sojourner; in you they have mistreated the orphan and the widow.

vw@Ezekiel:22:9 @ In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you they eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.

vw@Ezekiel:22:10 @ In you men uncover the nakedness of their fathers; in you they humble women during their menstrual impurity.

vw@Ezekiel:22:11 @ One commits abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you humbles his sister, his father’s daughter.

vw@Ezekiel:22:12 @ In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten Me, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:22:13 @ Behold, therefore, I have clapped My hands at the unjust gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been in your midst.

vw@Ezekiel:22:14 @ Can your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? I, Jehovah, have spoken, and will do it.

vw@Ezekiel:22:15 @ I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the earth, and destroy your filthiness out of you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:16 @ You shall defile yourself in the eyes of the nations; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:22:17 @ The Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:22:18 @ Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

vw@Ezekiel:22:19 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

vw@Ezekiel:22:20 @ As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire on it to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:21 @ Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.

vw@Ezekiel:22:22 @ As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst. And you shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out My fury upon you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:23 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:22:24 @ Son of man, say to her: You are a land that is not cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.

vw@Ezekiel:22:25 @ The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.

vw@Ezekiel:22:26 @ Her priests have violated My Law and defiled My holy things; they have not divided between the holy and profane, nor have they declared between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

vw@Ezekiel:22:27 @ Her rulers in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, and to get dishonest gain.

vw@Ezekiel:22:28 @ Her prophets plastered them with whitewash, seeing vain visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah has not spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:22:29 @ The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the sojourner.

vw@Ezekiel:22:30 @ So I sought for a man among them who would close up the wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

vw@Ezekiel:22:31 @ Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:23:1 @ The Word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:23:2 @ Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.

vw@Ezekiel:23:3 @ They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; their breasts were handled, their virgin nipples were fondled.

vw@Ezekiel:23:4 @ Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.

vw@Ezekiel:23:5 @ Oholah committed adultery even though she was Mine; and she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians,

vw@Ezekiel:23:6 @ who were clothed in purple, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.

vw@Ezekiel:23:7 @ Thus she committed her adultery with them, all of them choice men of Assyria; and with all for whom she lusted, with all their idols, she defiled herself.

vw@Ezekiel:23:8 @ She has never given up her harlotry brought from Egypt, for in her youth they had lain with her, fondled her virgin breasts, and poured out their immorality upon her.

vw@Ezekiel:23:9 @ Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.

vw@Ezekiel:23:10 @ They uncovered her nakedness, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword; she became a byword among women, for they had executed judgment on her.

vw@Ezekiel:23:12 @ She lusted for the neighboring Assyrians, captains and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

vw@Ezekiel:23:13 @ Then I saw that she was defiled; both the same way.

vw@Ezekiel:23:14 @ But she added to her harlotry; she looked at men portrayed on the wall, images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,

vw@Ezekiel:23:15 @ girded with waistbands around their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, in the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their birth.

vw@Ezekiel:23:16 @ As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

vw@Ezekiel:23:17 @ And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their immorality; so she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.

vw@Ezekiel:23:18 @ So she uncovered her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness. Then My soul was alienated from her, just as My soul was alienated from her sister.

vw@Ezekiel:23:19 @ Yet she multiplied her harlotry in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had committed adultery in the land of Egypt.

vw@Ezekiel:23:20 @ For she lusted for her paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

vw@Ezekiel:23:21 @ Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples because of your youthful breasts.

vw@Ezekiel:23:22 @ Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you from every side:

vw@Ezekiel:23:23 @ The Babylonians, all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, all the Assyrians with them, all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.

vw@Ezekiel:23:24 @ And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and wheels, with a company of people. They shall array against you buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will entrust judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.

vw@Ezekiel:23:25 @ I will set My jealousy against you, and they shall deal furiously with you; they shall remove your nose and your ears, and the rest of you shall fall by the sword; they shall take your sons and your daughters, and the rest of you shall be devoured by fire.

vw@Ezekiel:23:26 @ They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewelry.

vw@Ezekiel:23:27 @ Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt anymore.

vw@Ezekiel:23:28 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Surely I will deliver you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those from whom your soul is alienated.

vw@Ezekiel:23:29 @ They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your adultery shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry.

vw@Ezekiel:23:30 @ I will do these things to you because you have gone whoring after the nations, because you have become defiled by their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:23:31 @ You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will put her cup into your hand.

vw@Ezekiel:23:32 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: You shall drink of your sister’s cup, deep and wide; you shall be laughed to scorn and held in derision; for it contains much.

vw@Ezekiel:23:33 @ You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.

vw@Ezekiel:23:34 @ You shall drink and drain it, you shall break its shards, and tear off your own breasts; for I have spoken, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:23:35 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, therefore you shall bear the penalty of your lewdness and your harlotry.

vw@Ezekiel:23:36 @ Jehovah also said to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:23:37 @ For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and even sacrificed their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour them.

vw@Ezekiel:23:38 @ Moreover they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and profaned My Sabbaths.

vw@Ezekiel:23:39 @ For after they had slain their children to their idols, on the same day they came into My sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, this they have done in the midst of My house.

vw@Ezekiel:23:40 @ Furthermore you sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and there they came. And you washed yourself for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.

vw@Ezekiel:23:42 @ And the sound of a multitude at ease was with her, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort, who put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.

vw@Ezekiel:23:43 @ Then I said concerning her who was worn out in adulteries, Will they commit adultery with her now, and she with them?

vw@Ezekiel:23:44 @ Yet they went in to her, as men go in to a woman of harlotry; thus they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the lewd women.

vw@Ezekiel:23:45 @ And righteous men will judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.

vw@Ezekiel:23:46 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Bring up an assembly against them, give them up to terror and plunder.

vw@Ezekiel:23:47 @ And the company shall stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.

vw@Ezekiel:23:48 @ Thus I will bring an end to lewdness from the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.

vw@Ezekiel:23:49 @ And they shall repay you for your lewdness, and you shall pay for your idolatrous sins. And you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:24:1 @ Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:24:2 @ Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned against Jerusalem this very day.

vw@Ezekiel:24:3 @ And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Put on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it.

vw@Ezekiel:24:4 @ Gather pieces of meat into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice cuts;

vw@Ezekiel:24:5 @ take the choice of the flock. Also pile bones under it, boil it to boiling, and let the cuts simmer in it.

vw@Ezekiel:24:6 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum is not gone from it! Bring it out piece by piece. Let no lot fall on it.

vw@Ezekiel:24:7 @ For her blood is in her midst; she set it on top of a rock; she did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

vw@Ezekiel:24:9 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great.

vw@Ezekiel:24:10 @ Heap on the wood, kindle the fire; cook the flesh well, mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned.

vw@Ezekiel:24:11 @ Then set the pot empty on the coals, that it may become hot and its bronze may burn, that its filthiness may be melted in it, that its scum may be consumed.

vw@Ezekiel:24:12 @ She has grown weary with toil, and her great scum has not gone from her. Let her scum be in the fire!

vw@Ezekiel:24:14 @ I, Jehovah, have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not hold back, nor will I spare, nor will I have compassion; according to your ways and according to your deeds they will judge you, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:24:15 @ Also the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:24:16 @ Son of man, behold, I am taking away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.

vw@Ezekiel:24:17 @ Groan in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind your turban on your head, and put your sandals on your feet; do not cover your mustache, and do not eat the bread of men of sorrow.

vw@Ezekiel:24:18 @ So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died; and in the morning I did as I was commanded.

vw@Ezekiel:24:19 @ And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things signify to us, that you behave so?

vw@Ezekiel:24:20 @ Then I answered them, The Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:24:21 @ Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.

vw@Ezekiel:24:22 @ And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your mustaches nor eat the bread of men of sorrow.

vw@Ezekiel:24:23 @ Your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; you shall neither mourn nor weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and mourn with one another.

vw@Ezekiel:24:24 @ Thus Ezekiel is a sign to you; according to all that he has done you shall do; and when this comes, you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:24:25 @ And you, son of man; will it not be in the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that upon which they set their hearts, their sons and their daughters.

vw@Ezekiel:24:27 @ on that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you shall speak and no longer be mute. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:25:1 @ The Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:25:2 @ Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them.

vw@Ezekiel:25:3 @ Say to the Ammonites, Hear the Word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you said, Aha! against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity,

vw@Ezekiel:25:4 @ behold, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

vw@Ezekiel:25:6 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your contempt for the land of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:25:7 @ behold, therefore, I will stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the earth; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:25:8 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,

vw@Ezekiel:25:9 @ therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its borders, the glory of the land, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim.

vw@Ezekiel:25:10 @ To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, along with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:25:11 @ And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:25:12 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has become very guilty from avenging itself on them,

vw@Ezekiel:25:13 @ therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate. From Teman even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword.

vw@Ezekiel:25:14 @ I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:25:15 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines dealt with vengeance and took vengeance with spite in their heart, to destroy because of the old hatred,

vw@Ezekiel:25:16 @ therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast.

vw@Ezekiel:25:17 @ I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I lay My vengeance upon them.

vw@Ezekiel:26:1 @ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:26:2 @ Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.

vw@Ezekiel:26:3 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.

vw@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 like a shiny rock.

vw@Ezekiel:26:5 @ It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken, says the Lord Jehovah; it shall become plunder for the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:26:6 @ And her daughters who are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:26:7 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, a king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company of many people.

vw@Ezekiel:26:8 @ He will slay your daughters with the sword in the fields; he will heap up a mound against you, build a siege wall against you, and raise a shield against you.

vw@Ezekiel:26:10 @ Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the sound of the horsemen, the wheels, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached.

vw@Ezekiel:26:11 @ With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.

vw@Ezekiel:26:12 @ And they will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will put your stones, your timber, and your soil in the midst of the water.

vw@Ezekiel:26:13 @ And I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more.

vw@Ezekiel:26:14 @ And I will make you like a shiny rock, you shall be a place for the spreading of nets, and you shall never be rebuilt; for I, Jehovah, have spoken, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:26:15 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Will the coastlands not shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is slain in your midst?

vw@Ezekiel:26:16 @ Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments; they will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.

vw@Ezekiel:26:17 @ And they will take up a lamentation for you, and say to you: How you have perished, O one inhabited by seafaring men, O renowned city, who was strong at sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants!

vw@Ezekiel:26:18 @ Now the coastlands shall tremble in the day of your fall; Yes, the coastlands by the sea shall be troubled at your departure.

vw@Ezekiel:26:19 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you,

vw@Ezekiel:27:4 @ Your borders are in the midst of the seas. Your builders have perfected your beauty.

vw@Ezekiel:27:5 @ They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.

vw@Ezekiel:27:6 @ Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; the company of the Ashurites have inlaid your planks with ivory from the coasts of Kittim.

vw@Ezekiel:27:7 @ Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail; violet and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.

vw@Ezekiel:27:8 @ The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen; your wise men, O Tyre, were in you; they became your sailors.

vw@Ezekiel:27:9 @ The elders of Gebal and its wise men were in you to caulk your seams; all the ships of the sea and their oarsmen were in you to exchange your merchandise.

vw@Ezekiel:27:10 @ Those from Persia, Lydia, and Libya were in your army as men of war; they hung shield and helmet in you; they gave splendor to you.

vw@Ezekiel:27:11 @ Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, and the men of Gammad were in your towers; they hung their shields on your walls all around; they made your beauty perfect.

vw@Ezekiel:27:12 @ Tarshish traded with you because of the multitude of your wealth. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.

vw@Ezekiel:27:24 @ These traded with you in choice items; in purple clothes, in embroidered work, in cedar chests of multicolored apparel, bound tightly with cords, which were in your marketplace.

vw@Ezekiel:27:25 @ The ships of Tarshish traveled with your merchandise. You were filled and very glorious in the midst of the seas.

vw@Ezekiel:27:32 @ And in their wailing for you they will take up a lamentation, and lament for you: What city is like Tyre, destroyed in the midst of the sea?

vw@Ezekiel:27:33 @ When your wares went out by sea, you satisfied many people; you enriched the kings of the earth with the abundance of your wealth and your merchandise.

vw@Ezekiel:27:34 @ But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.

vw@Ezekiel:27:35 @ All the inhabitants of many shores will be astonished at you; their kings will be in dread, and their countenance will be enraged.

vw@Ezekiel:27:36 @ The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you; you will become a terror, and be no more forever.

vw@Ezekiel:28:1 @ The Word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:28:2 @ Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas, yet you are a man, and not the Mighty God, though you set your heart as the heart of God

vw@Ezekiel:28:3 @ (Behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that can be hidden from you.

vw@Ezekiel:28:7 @ behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you, the most terrifying of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and defile your splendor.

vw@Ezekiel:28:8 @ They shall throw you down to the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the midst of the seas.

vw@Ezekiel:28:9 @ Will you still think to say before him who slays you, I am God? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who slays you.

vw@Ezekiel:28:10 @ You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:28:11 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:28:12 @ Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: You seal the measure, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

vw@Ezekiel:28:13 @ You have been in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created.

vw@Ezekiel:28:14 @ You were the anointed cherub that covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

vw@Ezekiel:28:15 @ You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.

vw@Ezekiel:28:16 @ By the abundance of your trading they filled your midst with violence, and you sinned; therefore I cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.

vw@Ezekiel:28:17 @ Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground, I have set you before kings, that they might observe you.

vw@Ezekiel:28:18 @ You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; therefore I bring fire from your midst; it has devoured you, and I consign you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who see you.

vw@Ezekiel:28:19 @ All who know you among the peoples have been astonished at you; you shall become a terror, and shall be no more forever.

vw@Ezekiel:28:20 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:28:22 @ and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; I will be glorified in your midst; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I execute judgments in her and have been sanctified in her.

vw@Ezekiel:28:23 @ For I will send pestilence upon her, and blood into her streets; the slain shall fall in her midst by the sword which is against her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:28:24 @ And there shall no longer be a pricking brier or a painful thorn unto the house of Israel from all who surround them, who despise them. And they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:28:25 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and have been sanctified in them in the eyes of the nations, then they will dwell in their land which I gave to My servant Jacob.

vw@Ezekiel:28:26 @ And they shall dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.

vw@Ezekiel:29:1 @ In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:29:3 @ Speak, and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, My River is my own; I have made it for myself.

vw@Ezekiel:29:4 @ But I will put hooks in your jaws, and cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales; I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, and all the fish in your rivers will stick to your scales.

vw@Ezekiel:29:5 @ And I will leave you in the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers; you shall fall on the open field; you shall not be brought together nor gathered. I have given you as food to the beasts of the field and to the birds of the heavens.

vw@Ezekiel:29:6 @ And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:29:7 @ When they took hold of you by the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins stand.

vw@Ezekiel:29:8 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Surely I will bring a sword upon you and cut off from you man and beast.

vw@Ezekiel:29:9 @ And the land of Egypt shall become desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he has said, The River is mine, and I have made it.

vw@Ezekiel:29:10 @ Indeed, therefore, I am against you and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol to Syene, even to the border of Ethiopia.

vw@Ezekiel:29:11 @ Neither foot of man shall pass through it nor foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall be uninhabited forty years.

vw@Ezekiel:29:12 @ And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate; and among the cities that are laid waste, her cities shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:29:13 @ Yet, thus says the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples there where they were scattered.

vw@Ezekiel:29:14 @ I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.

vw@Ezekiel:29:15 @ It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore.

vw@Ezekiel:29:16 @ No longer shall it be the confidence of the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity when they turned to follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:29:17 @ And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:29:18 @ Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to work hard against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre, for the labor which they expended on it.

vw@Ezekiel:29:19 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Surely I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He shall take away her wealth, carry off her plunder, and remove her spoils; and that will be the wages for his army.

vw@Ezekiel:29:20 @ I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, because they worked for Me, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:29:21 @ In that day I will cause the horn of the house of Israel to spring forth, and I will open your mouth to speak in their midst. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:30:1 @ The Word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:30:2 @ Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Howl, Alas for the day!

vw@Ezekiel:30:3 @ For the day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:30:4 @ And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they take away her wealth, and her foundations are broken down.

vw@Ezekiel:30:5 @ Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, all the mixed people, Chub, and the men of the lands who are allied, shall fall with them by the sword.

vw@Ezekiel:30:6 @ Thus says Jehovah: Those who support Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down. From Migdol to Syene those within her shall fall by the sword, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:30:7 @ And they shall be desolate in the midst of the desolate lands, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are laid waste.

vw@Ezekiel:30:8 @ And they will know that I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt and all her helpers have been destroyed.

vw@Ezekiel:30:9 @ In that day messengers shall go forth from Me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid, and great anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for indeed it is coming!

vw@Ezekiel:30:10 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also bring an end to the multitude of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

vw@Ezekiel:30:11 @ He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

vw@Ezekiel:30:12 @ I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of evil ones; I will make the land waste, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers. I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:30:13 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and remove the images from Noph; there shall no longer be a prince of the land of Egypt; and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

vw@Ezekiel:30:15 @ I will pour My fury on Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No,

vw@Ezekiel:30:16 @ and set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall writhe in anguish, No shall be split open, and Noph shall be in daily distress.

vw@Ezekiel:30:17 @ The young men of Aven and Pibeseth shall fall by the sword, and these cities shall go into captivity.

vw@Ezekiel:30:18 @ At Tahpanhes the day shall also be darkened, when I break the yokes of Egypt there. And her arrogant strength shall come to an end in her; as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.

vw@Ezekiel:30:19 @ Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:30:20 @ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:30:21 @ Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and see, it has not been bound up for healing, nor a bandage set to bind it, to make it strong to hold a sword.

vw@Ezekiel:30:22 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and will break his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

vw@Ezekiel:30:23 @ I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and disperse them throughout the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:30:24 @ And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.

vw@Ezekiel:30:25 @ Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down. And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall have stretched it out against the land of Egypt.

vw@Ezekiel:30:26 @ And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:31:1 @ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:31:3 @ Behold, Assyria was like a cedar in Lebanon, with fine branches that shaded the forest, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.

vw@Ezekiel:31:4 @ The waters made it grow; the depths gave it height, with their rivers running around the place where it was planted, and sent out rivulets to all the trees of the field.

vw@Ezekiel:31:5 @ Therefore its height was exalted above all the trees of the field; its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long because of the abundance of water, as it sent them out.

vw@Ezekiel:31:6 @ All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; and in its shadow all great nations made their home.

vw@Ezekiel:31:7 @ Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches, because its roots reached to abundant waters.

vw@Ezekiel:31:8 @ The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like its branches; no tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.

vw@Ezekiel:31:9 @ I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

vw@Ezekiel:31:10 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and its heart was lifted up in its height,

vw@Ezekiel:31:11 @ therefore I have delivered it into the hand of the Mighty God of the nations, and He shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness.

vw@Ezekiel:31:12 @ And strangers, the most terrifying of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie broken by all the ravines of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

vw@Ezekiel:31:13 @ On its ruin will dwell all the birds of the heavens, and all the beasts of the field shall be on its branches;

vw@Ezekiel:31:14 @ so that no trees by the waters may ever again exalt themselves for their height, nor set their tops among the thick boughs, that no tree which drinks water may ever be high enough to reach up to them. For they have all been delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, among the sons of men who go down to the Pit.

vw@Ezekiel:31:15 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: In the day when it went down to Sheol, I caused mourning. I covered the deep for it. I restrained its rivers, and the great waters were held back. I caused Lebanon to mourn for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.

vw@Ezekiel:31:16 @ I made the nations shake at the sound of its fall, when I cast it down to Sheol together with those who descend into the Pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the depths of the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:31:17 @ They also went down to Sheol with it, with those slain by the sword; and those who were its arm, who dwelt in its shadows among the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:31:18 @ To which of the trees in Eden will you then be likened in glory and greatness? Yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the depths of the earth; you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:1 @ And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:32:2 @ Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him: You are like a young lion among the nations, and you are like a monster in the seas, bursting forth in your rivers, stirring up the waters with your feet, and fouling their rivers.

vw@Ezekiel:32:3 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will therefore spread My net over you with a company of many people, and they will draw you up in My net.

vw@Ezekiel:32:4 @ Then I will leave you on the land; I will cast you out upon the open fields, and cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you. And I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with you.

vw@Ezekiel:32:5 @ I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your corpses.

vw@Ezekiel:32:6 @ I will also water the land with the flow of your blood, even to the mountains; and the ravines will be full of you.

vw@Ezekiel:32:7 @ When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

vw@Ezekiel:32:8 @ All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you, and bring darkness upon your land, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:9 @ I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your ruin among the nations, into the lands which you have not known.

vw@Ezekiel:32:10 @ Yes, I will make many peoples astonished at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid at you when I brandish My sword before them; and they shall tremble every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

vw@Ezekiel:32:11 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon you.

vw@Ezekiel:32:12 @ By the swords of the mighty, all of them the most terrifying of the nations, I will cause your multitude to fall. They shall plunder the majesty of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.

vw@Ezekiel:32:13 @ I will also destroy all its animals from beside its great waters; the foot of man shall muddy them no more, nor shall the hooves of animals stir them up.

vw@Ezekiel:32:14 @ Then I will make their waters settle, and make their rivers run like oil, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:15 @ When I make the land of Egypt desolate, and the land is destitute of all that once filled it, when I strike all who dwell in it, then they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:16 @ This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her; the daughters of the nations shall lament her; they shall lament for her, for Egypt, and for all her multitude, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:17 @ It came to pass also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:32:25 @ They have set her bed in the midst of the slain, with all her multitude, with her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit; it was put in the midst of the slain.

vw@Ezekiel:32:26 @ There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitudes, with all their graves around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

vw@Ezekiel:32:27 @ They do not lie with the mighty of the uncircumcised who are fallen, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war; they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities will be on their bones, though the terror of the mighty was in the land of the living.

vw@Ezekiel:33:1 @ Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:33:2 @ Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their borders and make him their watchman,

vw@Ezekiel:33:3 @ when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the shofar and warns the people,

vw@Ezekiel:33:4 @ then whoever listens to hear the sound of the shofar and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

vw@Ezekiel:33:5 @ He heard the sound of the shofar, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his soul.

vw@Ezekiel:33:6 @ But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the shofar, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any soul from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity. But his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.

vw@Ezekiel:33:7 @ So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the Word from My mouth and warn them from Me.

vw@Ezekiel:33:8 @ When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall die the death! and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

vw@Ezekiel:33:9 @ Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

vw@Ezekiel:33:10 @ Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you say, If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?

vw@Ezekiel:33:11 @ Say to them: As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I take no delight in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, O house of Israel?

vw@Ezekiel:33:12 @ Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. As for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.

vw@Ezekiel:33:13 @ When I say to the righteous that he shall live life, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of all his righteousness shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has done, he shall die.

vw@Ezekiel:33:14 @ Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall die the death; if he turns from his sin and does justice and righteousness,

vw@Ezekiel:33:15 @ if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life, not committing iniquity, he shall live life; he shall not die.

vw@Ezekiel:33:17 @ Yet the children of your people say, The way of Jehovah is not fair. But as for them, it is their way which is not fair!

vw@Ezekiel:33:18 @ When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it.

vw@Ezekiel:33:19 @ But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does justice and righteousness, he shall live because of it.

vw@Ezekiel:33:20 @ Yet you say, The way of Jehovah is not fair. O house of Israel, I shall judge each one of you according to his ways.

vw@Ezekiel:33:21 @ And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me and said, The city has been struck!

vw@Ezekiel:33:22 @ Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me the evening before the man came who had escaped. And He had opened my mouth; so when he came to me in the morning, my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.

vw@Ezekiel:33:23 @ Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:33:24 @ Son of man, they who inhabit the ruins in the land of Israel are saying, Abraham was one, and he took possession of the land. But we are many; the land is given to us as a possession.

vw@Ezekiel:33:25 @ Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: You eat meat with blood, you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Shall you then possess the land?

vw@Ezekiel:33:26 @ You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you defile each one his neighbor’s wife. Shall you then possess the land?

vw@Ezekiel:33:27 @ Say thus to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and caves shall die of the pestilence.

vw@Ezekiel:33:28 @ For I will make the land a desolate waste, her arrogant strength shall cease, and the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through.

vw@Ezekiel:33:29 @ Then they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all their abominations which they have done.

vw@Ezekiel:33:30 @ As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, Please come and hear what the Word is that comes from Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:33:31 @ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they act out love, but their hearts go after their unjust gain.

vw@Ezekiel:33:32 @ Indeed you are to them as a singer of love songs, as one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.

vw@Ezekiel:33:33 @ So when this comes to pass (surely it will come); then they will know that a prophet has been among them.

vw@Ezekiel:34:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:34:2 @ Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

vw@Ezekiel:34:3 @ You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock.

vw@Ezekiel:34:4 @ The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them.

vw@Ezekiel:34:5 @ So they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered.

vw@Ezekiel:34:6 @ My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.

vw@Ezekiel:34:7 @ Therefore, you shepherds, hear the Word of Jehovah:

vw@Ezekiel:34:8 @ As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock;

vw@Ezekiel:34:9 @ therefore, O shepherds, hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:34:10 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.

vw@Ezekiel:34:11 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.

vw@Ezekiel:34:12 @ As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.

vw@Ezekiel:34:13 @ And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the lands, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the dwelling places of the land.

vw@Ezekiel:34:14 @ I will feed them in a good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:34:15 @ I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:34:16 @ I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them with judgment.

vw@Ezekiel:34:17 @ And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and he goats.

vw@Ezekiel:34:18 @ Is it a small thing for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the rest with your feet?

vw@Ezekiel:34:19 @ And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.

vw@Ezekiel:34:20 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

vw@Ezekiel:34:21 @ Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, thrust at all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad,

vw@Ezekiel:34:22 @ therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

vw@Ezekiel:34:23 @ I will raise up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them; My servant David. He shall feed them and be their Shepherd.

vw@Ezekiel:34:24 @ And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and My Servant David a prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:34:25 @ I will make a covenant of peace with them, and remove the evil beasts out of the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the wooded forests.

vw@Ezekiel:34:26 @ And I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.

vw@Ezekiel:34:27 @ Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

vw@Ezekiel:34:28 @ And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid.

vw@Ezekiel:34:29 @ I will raise up for them a notable plantation, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.

vw@Ezekiel:34:30 @ Thus they shall know that I, Jehovah their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:34:31 @ And you men, the flock of My pasture, are My flock; and I am your God, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:35:1 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

vw@Ezekiel:35:3 @ and say to it, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you; I will stretch out My hand against you, and make you most desolate;

vw@Ezekiel:35:5 @ Because you have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when their iniquity had come to an end;

vw@Ezekiel:35:6 @ therefore, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

vw@Ezekiel:35:7 @ Thus I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste, and cut off from it the one who passes through and the one who returns.

vw@Ezekiel:35:8 @ And I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall.

vw@Ezekiel:35:10 @ Because you have said, These two nations and these two lands shall be mine, and we will possess them (although Jehovah was there),

vw@Ezekiel:35:11 @ therefore, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.

vw@Ezekiel:35:12 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah. I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.

vw@Ezekiel:35:13 @ Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me; I have heard them.

vw@Ezekiel:35:14 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate.

vw@Ezekiel:35:15 @ As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you. You shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom; all of it! And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:36:1 @ And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:36:2 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy has said of you, Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,

vw@Ezekiel:36:3 @ therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because they made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you are taken up by the lips of talkers and slandered by the people;

vw@Ezekiel:36:4 @ therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, the valleys, the desolate wastes, and the cities that have been forsaken, which became plunder and mockery to the rest of the nations all around;

vw@Ezekiel:36:5 @ therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against Edom, all who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with whole-hearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open land.

vw@Ezekiel:36:6 @ Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:36:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I have raised My hand and sworn that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their shame.

vw@Ezekiel:36:8 @ But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are drawing near to come.

vw@Ezekiel:36:10 @ I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.

vw@Ezekiel:36:11 @ I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and be fruitful; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:36:12 @ Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; they shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you bereave them.

vw@Ezekiel:36:13 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because they say to you, You devour men and bereave your nation,

vw@Ezekiel:36:14 @ therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:36:15 @ Nor will I let you hear the insults of the nations anymore, nor bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble anymore, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:36:16 @ Moreover the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:

vw@Ezekiel:36:17 @ Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. To Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity.

vw@Ezekiel:36:18 @ Therefore I poured out My fury on them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because of their idols with which they had defiled it.

vw@Ezekiel:36:19 @ And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the earth. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.

vw@Ezekiel:36:20 @ When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name. They said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and they have come out of His land.

vw@Ezekiel:36:21 @ But I had compassion for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, there where they went.

vw@Ezekiel:36:22 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, there where you went.

vw@Ezekiel:36:23 @ And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, says the Lord Jehovah, when I am sanctified in you before their eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:36:24 @ For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all the lands, and bring you into your own land.

vw@Ezekiel:36:25 @ Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your idols.

vw@Ezekiel:36:26 @ I will also give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

vw@Ezekiel:36:27 @ And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them.

vw@Ezekiel:36:28 @ And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be My people, and I will be your God.

vw@Ezekiel:36:29 @ I will deliver you from all your defilements. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you.

vw@Ezekiel:36:30 @ And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the produce of your fields, so that you never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:36:31 @ Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:36:32 @ Let it be known to you that I do not do this for your sakes, says the Lord Jehovah. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!

vw@Ezekiel:36:33 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt.

vw@Ezekiel:36:34 @ The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by.

vw@Ezekiel:36:35 @ And they will say, This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.

vw@Ezekiel:36:36 @ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, Jehovah, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.

vw@Ezekiel:36:37 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do this for them. I will increase their men like a flock.

vw@Ezekiel:36:38 @ Like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem on its appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:37:1 @ The hand of Jehovah was upon me and brought me out by the Spirit of Jehovah, and made me rest in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.

vw@Ezekiel:37:2 @ Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.

vw@Ezekiel:37:3 @ And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? So I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know.

vw@Ezekiel:37:4 @ Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:37:5 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

vw@Ezekiel:37:7 @ So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a shaking; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

vw@Ezekiel:37:8 @ And as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

vw@Ezekiel:37:9 @ Then He said to me, Prophesy to the spirit; prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.

vw@Ezekiel:37:10 @ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the spirit came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

vw@Ezekiel:37:11 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!

vw@Ezekiel:37:12 @ Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:39:9 @ And those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they shall kindle fires with them for seven years.

vw@Ezekiel:39:10 @ They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will kindle fires with the weapons; and they shall plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:39:11 @ It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will stop the noses of travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.

vw@Ezekiel:39:12 @ For seven months the house of Israel shall be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.

vw@Ezekiel:39:13 @ Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:39:14 @ And they will assign men to continually pass through the land, traveling along, to bury those remaining on the face of the earth, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

vw@Ezekiel:39:15 @ And any traveler passing through the land, when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

vw@Ezekiel:39:16 @ The name of the city will also be Hamonah. Thus they shall cleanse the land.

vw@Ezekiel:39:17 @ And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovah, Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field: Assemble yourselves and come; gather together from all sides to My sacrifice which I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

vw@Ezekiel:39:18 @ You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, drink the blood of the rulers of the earth, of rams and lambs, of goats and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

vw@Ezekiel:39:20 @ You shall be filled at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men and with all the men of war, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:39:21 @ And I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgments which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.

vw@Ezekiel:39:22 @ Thus the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah their God from that day forward.

vw@Ezekiel:39:23 @ And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

vw@Ezekiel:39:24 @ According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.

vw@Ezekiel:39:25 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name;

vw@Ezekiel:39:26 @ after they have borne their shame, and all their treachery in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid.

vw@Ezekiel:39:27 @ When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies, and I am sanctified in them in the eyes of many nations,

vw@Ezekiel:39:28 @ then they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their own land, and left none of them there.

vw@Ezekiel:39:29 @ And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:40:1 @ In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of Jehovah was upon me; and He brought me there.

vw@Ezekiel:40:2 @ In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and rested me on a very high mountain; on which toward the south was something like the structure of a city.

vw@Ezekiel:40:3 @ He brought me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gate.

vw@Ezekiel:40:4 @ And the man said to me, Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.

vw@Ezekiel:40:5 @ Now there was a wall all around the outside of the house. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.

vw@Ezekiel:40:6 @ Then he went to the gate which faced east; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one rod wide, and the other threshold was one rod wide.

vw@Ezekiel:40:7 @ Each guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide; between the guardrooms was a space of five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the inside gate was one rod.

vw@Ezekiel:40:8 @ He also measured the porch of the inside gate, one rod.

vw@Ezekiel:40:9 @ Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the pillars, two cubits. The porch of the gate was on the inside.

vw@Ezekiel:40:10 @ And in the eastward gate were three guardrooms on one side and three on the other; the three were all the same size; also the pillars were of the same size on this side and that side.

vw@Ezekiel:40:11 @ He measured the width of the entrance to the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:12 @ And the space in front of the guardrooms was one cubit on this side and one cubit on that side; the guardrooms were six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:40:13 @ Then he measured the gate from the roof of one guardroom to the roof of the other; the width was twenty-five cubits, as door faces door.

vw@Ezekiel:40:14 @ He measured the pillars, sixty cubits high, and the court all around the gate extended to the pillar.

vw@Ezekiel:40:15 @ From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the porch of the inner gate was fifty cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:16 @ And there were shuttered windows in the guardrooms and in their pillars on the inside of the gate all around, and likewise in the arches. There were windows all around on the inside. And on each pillar were palm trees.

vw@Ezekiel:40:17 @ Then he brought me into the outer court; and there were rooms and a pavement made all around the court; thirty rooms faced the pavement.

vw@Ezekiel:40:18 @ The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

vw@Ezekiel:40:19 @ Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner court exterior, one hundred cubits toward the east and the north.

vw@Ezekiel:40:20 @ On the outer court was also a gate facing north, and he measured its length and its width.

vw@Ezekiel:40:21 @ Its guardrooms, three on this side and three on that side, its pillars and its arches, had the same measurements as the first gate; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:22 @ Its windows and those of its porches, and also its palm trees, had the same measurements as the gate facing east; they went up to it by seven steps, and its arches were in front of it.

vw@Ezekiel:40:23 @ And the gate of the inner court was opposite the northern gate, just as the eastern gate; and he measured from gate to gate, one hundred cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:24 @ After that he brought me toward the south, and there a gate was facing south; and he measured its pillars and arches according to these same measurements.

vw@Ezekiel:40:25 @ There were windows in it and its arches all around like those windows; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:26 @ Seven steps led up to it, and its arches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its pillars, one on this side and one on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:40:27 @ There was also a gate on the inner court, facing south; and he measured from gate to gate toward the south, one hundred cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:28 @ Then he brought me to the inner court through the southern gate; and he measured the southern gate according to these same measurements.

vw@Ezekiel:40:29 @ And its guardrooms, its pillars, and its arches were according to these same measurements; there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

vw@Ezekiel:40:30 @ There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.

vw@Ezekiel:40:31 @ And its arches faced the outer court, palm trees were on its pillars, and going up to it were eight steps.

vw@Ezekiel:40:32 @ And he brought me into the inner court facing east; he measured the gate according to these same measurements.

vw@Ezekiel:40:33 @ Also its guardrooms, its pillars, and its arches were according to these same measurements; and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

vw@Ezekiel:40:34 @ Its arches faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its pillars on this side and on that side; and going up to it were eight steps.

vw@Ezekiel:40:35 @ And he brought me to the north gate and measured it according to these same measurements;

vw@Ezekiel:40:37 @ Its pillars faced the outer court, palm trees were on its pillars on this side and on that side, and going up to it were eight steps.

vw@Ezekiel:40:38 @ There was a room and its entrance by the pillars of the gate, where they washed the burnt offering.

vw@Ezekiel:40:39 @ In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.

vw@Ezekiel:40:40 @ At the outer side of the porch, as one goes up to the entrance of the northern gate, were two tables; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables.

vw@Ezekiel:40:41 @ Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices.

vw@Ezekiel:40:42 @ There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, one cubit and a half long, one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; on these they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

vw@Ezekiel:40:43 @ Inside were hooks, a handbreadth wide, fastened all around; and the flesh of the sacrifices was on the tables.

vw@Ezekiel:40:44 @ Outside the inner gate were the rooms for the singers in the inner court, one facing south beside the northern gate, and the other facing north beside the southern gate.

vw@Ezekiel:40:45 @ Then he said to me, This room which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:40:46 @ The room which faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, from the sons of Levi, who come near Jehovah to serve Him.

vw@Ezekiel:40:47 @ And he measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare. And the altar was in front of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:40:48 @ And he brought me to the porch of the house and measured the pillars of the porch, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:40:49 @ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; and by the steps which led up to it there were columns by the pillars, one on this side and another on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:41:1 @ Then he brought me into the sanctuary and measured the pillars, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side; the width of the tent.

vw@Ezekiel:41:2 @ And the width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:41:3 @ And he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:41:4 @ He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, This is the Holy of Holies.

vw@Ezekiel:41:5 @ Next, he measured the wall of the house, six cubits. The width of each side room all around the house was four cubits on every side.

vw@Ezekiel:41:6 @ The side rooms were in three stories, one above the other, thirty rooms in each story; they rested on ledges which were for the side rooms all around, that they might be supported, but not fastened to the wall of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:41:7 @ As one went up from story to story, the side rooms became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the house ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.

vw@Ezekiel:41:8 @ I also saw the height of the house all around; the foundation of the side rooms was a full rod, that is, six cubits high.

vw@Ezekiel:41:9 @ The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits, and so was also the remaining area of the side rooms of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:41:10 @ And between it and the rooms was a width of twenty cubits all around the house on every side.

vw@Ezekiel:41:11 @ The doors of the side rooms opened toward the open area, one door toward the north and another toward the south; and the width of the open area was five cubits all around.

vw@Ezekiel:41:12 @ The building that faced the separate area at its western end was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:41:13 @ So he measured the house, one hundred cubits long; and the separate area with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long.

vw@Ezekiel:41:14 @ And the width of the eastern face of the house, including the separate area, was one hundred cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:41:15 @ And he measured the length of the building behind it, facing the separate area, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner temple and the porches of the court,

vw@Ezekiel:41:16 @ their thresholds and the shuttered windows. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with wood from the ground to the windows (the windows were covered),

vw@Ezekiel:41:17 @ from the space above the door, even to the inner room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure.

vw@Ezekiel:41:19 @ so that the face of a man was toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion toward a palm tree on the other side; thus it was made throughout the house all around.

vw@Ezekiel:41:20 @ From the ground to the space above the door, and on the wall of the temple, cherubim and palm trees were carved.

vw@Ezekiel:41:21 @ The doorposts of the temple were square, as was the front of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one was as the appearance of the other.

vw@Ezekiel:41:22 @ The altar of wood, was three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, This is the table that is before Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:41:23 @ The temple and the sanctuary had two doors.

vw@Ezekiel:41:24 @ The doors had two doors each, two turning doors: two for one door, and two doors for the other.

vw@Ezekiel:41:25 @ And Cherubim and palm trees were carved on the doors of the temple just like the ones carved on the walls. And wooden planks were on the front of the porch outside.

vw@Ezekiel:41:26 @ There were shuttered windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; also on the side rooms of the house and on the planks.

vw@Ezekiel:42:1 @ Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the room which was opposite the separate area, and which was in front of the building toward the north.

vw@Ezekiel:42:2 @ Facing the length, which was one hundred cubits (the width was fifty cubits), was the north door.

vw@Ezekiel:42:3 @ Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

vw@Ezekiel:42:4 @ And in front of the rooms, toward the inside, was a walkway ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.

vw@Ezekiel:42:5 @ Now the upper rooms were shorter, because the galleries took away space from them more than from the lower and middle stories of the building.

vw@Ezekiel:42:6 @ For they were in three stories and did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts; therefore the upper level was shortened more than the lower and middle levels from the ground up.

vw@Ezekiel:42:7 @ And a wall which was outside ran alongside the rooms, at the front of the rooms, toward the outer court; its length was fifty cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:42:8 @ The length of the rooms toward the outer court was fifty cubits, whereas that facing the temple was one hundred cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:42:9 @ And under these rooms was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.

vw@Ezekiel:42:10 @ There were rooms in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate area and opposite the building.

vw@Ezekiel:42:11 @ And there was a walkway in front of them also, and their appearance was like the rooms which were toward the north; they were as long and as wide as the others, and all their exits and entrances were according to plan.

vw@Ezekiel:42:12 @ And corresponding to the doors of the rooms that were facing south, as one enters them, there was a door in front of the walkway, the walkway directly in front of the wall toward the east.

vw@Ezekiel:42:13 @ Then he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate area, are the holy rooms where the priests who approach Jehovah shall eat the set apart, holy, offerings. There they shall lay the set apart, holy, offerings; the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.

vw@Ezekiel:42:14 @ When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy room into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.

vw@Ezekiel:42:15 @ Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out through the gate that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.

vw@Ezekiel:42:16 @ He measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

vw@Ezekiel:42:17 @ He measured the north side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

vw@Ezekiel:42:18 @ He measured the south side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod.

vw@Ezekiel:42:19 @ He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.

vw@Ezekiel:42:20 @ He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred wide, to separate the holy from the profane.

vw@Ezekiel:43:1 @ Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.

vw@Ezekiel:43:2 @ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

vw@Ezekiel:43:3 @ It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw; like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

vw@Ezekiel:43:4 @ And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by way of the gate which faces toward the east.

vw@Ezekiel:43:5 @ And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

vw@Ezekiel:43:6 @ Then I heard Him speaking to me from the house. And standing beside me was a Man.

vw@Ezekiel:43:7 @ And He said to 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 forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.

vw@Ezekiel:43:8 @ When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they have defiled My holy name by the abominations which they have done; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

vw@Ezekiel:43:9 @ Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

vw@Ezekiel:43:10 @ Son of man, describe the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

vw@Ezekiel:43:11 @ And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the house and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and do them.

vw@Ezekiel:43:12 @ This is the law of the house: The entire region around the mountaintop is set apart, holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:43:13 @ These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (the cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the upper part of the altar:

vw@Ezekiel:43:14 @ from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits; the width of the ledge, one cubit; from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits; and the width of the ledge, one cubit.

vw@Ezekiel:43:15 @ The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four horns extending upward from the hearth.

vw@Ezekiel:43:16 @ And the altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, square at its four corners;

vw@Ezekiel:43:17 @ the ledge, fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it; its base, one cubit all around; and its steps face toward the east.

vw@Ezekiel:43:18 @ And He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.

vw@Ezekiel:43:19 @ And you shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites (who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to serve Me), says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:43:20 @ You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

vw@Ezekiel:43:21 @ Then you shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and burn it at the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.

vw@Ezekiel:43:22 @ On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats that is whole for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

vw@Ezekiel:43:23 @ When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull that is whole, and a ram that is whole from the flock.

vw@Ezekiel:43:24 @ And you shall offer them before Jehovah, and the priests shall throw salt on them, and they shall offer them up as a burnt offering to Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:43:25 @ Every day for seven days you shall prepare a he goat for a sin offering; they shall also prepare a young bull and a ram from the flock, both that are whole.

vw@Ezekiel:43:26 @ Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and consecrate it.

vw@Ezekiel:43:27 @ And when these days are completed, it shall be, on the eighth day and thereafter, that the priests shall offer your burnt offerings and your peace offerings on the altar; and I will accept you, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:44:1 @ Then He brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces toward the east. And it was shut.

vw@Ezekiel:44:2 @ And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because Jehovah the God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.

vw@Ezekiel:44:3 @ As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before Jehovah; he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate, and go out the same way.

vw@Ezekiel:44:4 @ Then He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah; and I fell on my face.

vw@Ezekiel:44:5 @ And Jehovah said to me, Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah and all its laws. Mark well the entrance to the house and all the exits from the sanctuary.

vw@Ezekiel:44:6 @ And say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: O house of Israel, Enough of all your abominations!

vw@Ezekiel:44:7 @ When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it; My house; and when you offered My food, the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:44:8 @ And you have not kept charge of My holy things, but you have set others to keep charge of My sanctuary for you.

vw@Ezekiel:44:9 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any son of a foreigner who is among the children of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:44:10 @ And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:44:11 @ Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house; they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

vw@Ezekiel:44:12 @ Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to stumble into iniquity, therefore I have raised My hand and sworn against them, declares the Lord Jehovah; and they shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:44:13 @ And they shall not come near Me to serve Me as priest, nor come near any of My holy things, nor into the Holy of Holies; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have done.

vw@Ezekiel:44:14 @ Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the house, for all its labor, and for all that has to be done in it.

vw@Ezekiel:44:15 @ But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to serve Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:44:16 @ They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near My table to serve Me, and they shall keep My charge.

vw@Ezekiel:44:17 @ And it shall be, that whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that they shall put on linen garments; no wool shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court or within the house.

vw@Ezekiel:44:18 @ They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their loins; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.

vw@Ezekiel:44:19 @ And when they go out to the outer court, to the outer court to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy rooms, and put on other garments; and in their own garments they shall not consecrate the people.

vw@Ezekiel:44:20 @ They shall neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow long; but they shall keep their hair clipped and trimmed.

vw@Ezekiel:44:21 @ No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.

vw@Ezekiel:44:22 @ They shall not take as wife a widow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or widows of priests.

vw@Ezekiel:44:23 @ And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

vw@Ezekiel:44:24 @ And in a dispute they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My Laws and My statutes in all My appointed times, and they shall consecrate My Sabbaths.

vw@Ezekiel:44:25 @ They shall not defile themselves by coming near a dead person. Only for father or mother, for son or daughter, for brother or unmarried sister may they defile themselves.

vw@Ezekiel:44:26 @ After he is cleansed, they shall count seven days for him.

vw@Ezekiel:44:27 @ And on the day that he goes to the sanctuary to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering in the inner court, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:44:28 @ It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

vw@Ezekiel:44:29 @ They shall eat the food offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

vw@Ezekiel:44:30 @ The first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every sacrifice of any kind from all your sacrifices, shall be for the priests; you shall also give to the priest the first of your ground meal, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

vw@Ezekiel:44:31 @ The priests shall not eat anything, bird or beast, that died naturally or was torn by wild beasts.

vw@Ezekiel:45:1 @ Moreover, when you divide the land by lot for inheritance, you shall offer a heave offering unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. It shall be holy throughout its borders all around.

vw@Ezekiel:45:2 @ Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, five hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space.

vw@Ezekiel:45:3 @ So this is the district you shall measure: twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; in it shall be the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies.

vw@Ezekiel:45:4 @ It shall be a holy portion of the land for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to serve Jehovah; it shall be a place for their houses and a sacred place for the sanctuary.

vw@Ezekiel:45:5 @ An area twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house; they shall have twenty rooms as a possession.

vw@Ezekiel:45:6 @ You shall appoint as the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, next to the set-apart offerings; it shall belong to the whole house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:45:7 @ And the prince shall have a portion on both sides of the set-apart offerings and the city’s portion; facing the set-apart offerings and the city’s portion, extending westward on the west side and eastward on the east side, the length shall be alongside one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.

vw@Ezekiel:45:8 @ The land shall be his possession in Israel; and My rulers shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.

vw@Ezekiel:45:9 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Enough, O rulers of Israel! Put away violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:45:11 @ The ephah and the bath shall be of the same measure, so that the bath contains one-tenth of a homer, and the ephah one-tenth of a homer; their measure shall be according to the homer.

vw@Ezekiel:45:12 @ The shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, and fifteen shekels shall be your maneh.

vw@Ezekiel:45:13 @ This is the offering which you shall offer: one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley.

vw@Ezekiel:45:14 @ The ordinance concerning oil, the bath of oil, is one-tenth of a bath from a kor. (A kor is a homer or ten baths, for ten baths are a homer.)

vw@Ezekiel:45:15 @ And one lamb shall be given from a flock of two hundred, from the watered land of Israel. These shall be for grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:45:16 @ All the people of the land shall give this offering for the prince in Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:45:17 @ And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the New Moons, the Sabbaths, and at all the appointed times of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:45:18 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull that is whole and cleanse the sanctuary.

vw@Ezekiel:45:19 @ And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the house, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the inner court.

vw@Ezekiel:45:20 @ And thus you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who goes astray and for him who sins in ignorance. Thus you shall make atonement for the house.

vw@Ezekiel:45:21 @ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall observe the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

vw@Ezekiel:45:22 @ And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.

vw@Ezekiel:45:23 @ And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Jehovah, seven bulls and seven rams that are whole, daily for seven days, and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.

vw@Ezekiel:45:24 @ And he shall prepare a grain offering of one ephah for each bull and one ephah for each ram, together with a hin of oil for each ephah.

vw@Ezekiel:45:25 @ In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.

vw@Ezekiel:46:1 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

vw@Ezekiel:46:2 @ And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening.

vw@Ezekiel:46:3 @ Likewise the people of the land shall bow down at the entrance to this gate before Jehovah on the Sabbaths and the new moons.

vw@Ezekiel:46:4 @ And the burnt offering that the prince offers to Jehovah on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs that are whole, and a ram that is whole;

vw@Ezekiel:46:5 @ and the grain offering shall be one ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs, as he shall be able to give, as well as a hin of oil with every ephah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:6 @ On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull from the herd that is whole, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be ones that are whole.

vw@Ezekiel:46:7 @ And he shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as he is able for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:8 @ And when the prince enters, he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate, and go out the same way.

vw@Ezekiel:46:9 @ But when the people of the land come before Jehovah on the appointed feasts, whoever enters by way of the north gate to bow down shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate.

vw@Ezekiel:46:10 @ And the prince shall be in their midst. When they go in, he shall go in; and when they go out, he shall go out.

vw@Ezekiel:46:11 @ At the feasts and the appointed times the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as he is able to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:12 @ Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to Jehovah, the gate that faces toward the east shall then be opened to him; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut.

vw@Ezekiel:46:13 @ You shall daily make a burnt offering to Jehovah of a lamb of the first year that is whole; you shall prepare it morning by morning.

vw@Ezekiel:46:14 @ And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:15 @ Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil, as a regular burnt offering every morning.

vw@Ezekiel:46:16 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

vw@Ezekiel:46:17 @ But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs.

vw@Ezekiel:46:18 @ Moreover the prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their possession; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own possession, so that none of My people may be scattered from his possession.

vw@Ezekiel:46:19 @ And He brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms of the priests which face toward the north; and there was a place on the two sides westward.

vw@Ezekiel:46:20 @ And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court to consecrate the people.

vw@Ezekiel:46:21 @ Then he brought me out to the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, at every corner of the court there was another court.

vw@Ezekiel:46:22 @ At the four corners of the court were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty wide; all four corners were the same size.

vw@Ezekiel:46:23 @ There was a row of building stones all around in them, all around the four of them; and cooking hearths were made under the rows all around.

vw@Ezekiel:46:24 @ And he said to me, These are the kitchens where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.

vw@Ezekiel:47:1 @ Then he brought me back to the entrance of the house; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the front of the house faces east; and the water was flowing from under the right side of the house, south of the altar.

vw@Ezekiel:47:2 @ He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around the outside to the outer gate that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:3 @ And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to the ankles.

vw@Ezekiel:47:4 @ Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to the knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to the waist.

vw@Ezekiel:47:5 @ Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross, for the water was too deep; water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed.

vw@Ezekiel:47:6 @ And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? And he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.

vw@Ezekiel:47:7 @ When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other.

vw@Ezekiel:47:8 @ Then he said to me: This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the wilderness, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed.

vw@Ezekiel:47:9 @ And it shall be that every living thing that swarms, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river shall come.

vw@Ezekiel:47:10 @ It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

vw@Ezekiel:47:11 @ But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt.

vw@Ezekiel:47:12 @ And along the banks of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.

vw@Ezekiel:47:13 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: These are the borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.

vw@Ezekiel:47:14 @ And you shall inherit it equally with one another; for I raised My hand and swore to give it to your fathers, and this land shall fall to you as your inheritance.

vw@Ezekiel:47:15 @ And this shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, by the road to Hethlon, as one goes to Zedad,

vw@Ezekiel:47:16 @ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran).

vw@Ezekiel:47:17 @ Thus the boundary shall be from the Sea to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus; and as for the north, northward, it is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:18 @ And on the east side you shall mark out the border from between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan, and to the Eastern Sea. This is the east side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:19 @ And the south side, toward the south, shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. This is the south side, toward the South.

vw@Ezekiel:47:20 @ And the west side shall be the Great Sea, from the southern boundary until one comes to a point opposite Hamath. This is the west side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:21 @ Thus you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:47:22 @ And it shall be that you will divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who sojourn among you and who bear children among you. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:47:23 @ And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourns, there you shall give him his inheritance, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:48:1 @ Now these are the names of the tribes: From the northern border along the road to Hethlon at the entrance of Hamath, to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, there shall be one portion for Dan from its east to its west side;

vw@Ezekiel:48:2 @ by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, one portion for Asher;

vw@Ezekiel:48:3 @ by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west, one portion for Naphtali;

vw@Ezekiel:48:4 @ by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, one portion for Manasseh;

vw@Ezekiel:48:5 @ by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, one portion for Ephraim;

vw@Ezekiel:48:6 @ by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, one portion for Reuben;

vw@Ezekiel:48:7 @ by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, one portion for Judah;

vw@Ezekiel:48:8 @ by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the offering which you shall contribute, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west. And the sanctuary shall be in the middle of it.

vw@Ezekiel:48:9 @ The offering that you shall contribute unto Jehovah shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width.

vw@Ezekiel:48:10 @ And this holy offering shall belong to the priests; on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. And the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in the middle.

vw@Ezekiel:48:11 @ It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are consecrated, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

vw@Ezekiel:48:12 @ And this contribution of land that is offered shall be to them a thing set apart, holy, by the border of the Levites.

vw@Ezekiel:48:13 @ And next to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand.

vw@Ezekiel:48:14 @ And they shall not sell or change any of it; nor pass through and take away the firstfruit of the land; for it is holy unto Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:48:15 @ And the five thousand cubits in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use by the city, for dwellings and suburbs. And the city shall be in the middle of it.

vw@Ezekiel:48:16 @ These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits, the south side four thousand five hundred, the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred.

vw@Ezekiel:48:17 @ And the suburbs of the city shall be to the north two hundred and fifty cubits, to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty.

vw@Ezekiel:48:18 @ And the rest of the length, alongside the offering of the holy portion, shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. It shall be adjacent to the offering of the holy portion, and its produce shall be for food to those who work in the city.

vw@Ezekiel:48:19 @ And those who work in the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall work it.

vw@Ezekiel:48:20 @ The entire offering shall be twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits, foursquare. You shall offer the holy offerings with the possession of the city.

vw@Ezekiel:48:21 @ The rest shall belong to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the city’s possession, next to the twenty-five thousand cubits of the offering as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the tribal portions; it shall belong to the prince. It shall be the holy offering, and the sanctuary of the house in the middle.

vw@Ezekiel:48:22 @ Moreover, from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the prince, the area between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall belong to the prince.

vw@Ezekiel:48:23 @ As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west, Benjamin shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:24 @ and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, Simeon shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:25 @ and by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west, Issachar shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:26 @ and by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west, Zebulun shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:27 @ and by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, Gad shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:28 @ and by the border of Gad, on the south side, toward the South, the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah by Kadesh, along the river to the Great Sea.

vw@Ezekiel:48:29 @ This is the land which you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:48:30 @ And these are the exits of the city. On the north side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits

vw@Ezekiel:48:31 @ (the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi;

vw@Ezekiel:48:32 @ and on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan;

vw@Ezekiel:48:33 @ and on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun;

vw@Ezekiel:48:34 @ and on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali.

vw@Ezekiel:48:35 @ All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be, JEHOVAH IS THERE.

vw@Daniel:1:1 @ In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

vw@Daniel:1:2 @ And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. And he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

vw@Daniel:1:3 @ And the king spoke to Ashpenaz, the chief of his officials that he should bring some of the sons of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the nobles,

vw@Daniel:1:4 @ young men in whom was no blemish, but who were of good appearance and having understanding in all wisdom, having knowledge and understanding science, even those with ability in them to stand in the king’s palace; to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

vw@Daniel:1:5 @ And the king appointed for them a daily portion every day, from the king’s food, and of the wine which he drank, even to raise them three years, so that at the end of that time they might stand before the king.

vw@Daniel:1:6 @ And there were among those of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

vw@Daniel:1:7 @ to whom the chief of the officials gave names. For he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego.

vw@Daniel:1:8 @ And Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine which he drank. So he asked of the chief of the officials that he might not defile himself.

vw@Daniel:1:9 @ Now God had brought Daniel into kindness and compassion with the chief of the officials.

vw@Daniel:1:10 @ And the chief of the officials said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the other boys who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.

vw@Daniel:1:11 @ And Daniel said to Melzar, whom the chief of the officials had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

vw@Daniel:1:13 @ Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the boys who eat of the king’s food; and as you see fit, do so with your servants.

vw@Daniel:1:14 @ And he consented to them in this matter and tested them ten days.

vw@Daniel:1:15 @ And at the end of ten days their appearance looked better and fatter of flesh than all the boys who were eating the king’s food.

vw@Daniel:1:16 @ So Melzar took away their food and the wine that they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables.

vw@Daniel:1:17 @ As for these four boys, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom. And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

vw@Daniel:1:18 @ And at the end of the days that the king had said that they should be brought in, the chief of the officials brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

vw@Daniel:1:19 @ And the king talked with them. And among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they served before the king.

vw@Daniel:1:20 @ And in any matter of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them, he found them to be ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his kingdom.

vw@Daniel:1:21 @ And Daniel continued to the first year of King Cyrus.

vw@Daniel:2:1 @ And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar was dreaming dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.

vw@Daniel:2:2 @ And the king commanded to call the magicians, and the conjurers, and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.

vw@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

vw@Daniel:2:4 @ And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic: O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will explain the interpretation.

vw@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The command is gone from me. If you will not make known the dream and its interpretation to me, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an outhouse.

vw@Daniel:2:6 @ But if you declare the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore, declare the dream and its interpretation to me.

vw@Daniel:2:7 @ They again replied and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will explain its interpretation.

vw@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered and said, I know that you would buy time, because you see that the command is gone from me.

vw@Daniel:2:9 @ But if you will not make the dream known to me, there is one law for you. For you have agreed upon lying and deceiving words to speak before me until the time has changed. Therefore, tell me the dream, then I shall know that you have the ability to explain the interpretation to me.

vw@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chaldeans replied before the king and said, There is not a man on the earth who can declare the king’s matter, because not any king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing from any magician, or conjurer, or Chaldean.

vw@Daniel:2:11 @ And the thing that the king asks is rare. And there is no other who can declare it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

vw@Daniel:2:12 @ Because of all this the king was enraged and angered. And he commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be destroyed.

vw@Daniel:2:13 @ And the law went out that the wise men should be killed. And they searched for Daniel and his companions, to be killed.

vw@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel answered with counsel and discretion to Arioch the chief of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:2:15 @ He answered and said to Arioch, the king’s officer, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? And Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

vw@Daniel:2:16 @ And Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would give him time, and he would declare to the king the interpretation.

vw@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

vw@Daniel:2:18 @ that they might pray for the mercies of God in Heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision, and Daniel blessed the God of Heaven.

vw@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.

vw@Daniel:2:21 @ And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings, and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

vw@Daniel:2:22 @ He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells in Him.

vw@Daniel:2:23 @ I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has made known to me what we asked of You. For You have made known to us the king’s matter.

vw@Daniel:2:24 @ Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him, Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.

vw@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the king and spoke this to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make the interpretation known to the king.

vw@Daniel:2:26 @ The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?

vw@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel replied before the king and said, The secret which the king has demanded cannot be declared to the king by the wise men, the conjurers, the magicians, or the fortunetellers.

vw@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in Heaven who reveals secrets, and makes known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

vw@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you might know the thoughts of your heart.

vw@Daniel:2:32 @ The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,

vw@Daniel:2:34 @ You watched until it happened that a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

vw@Daniel:2:35 @ Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were together broken to pieces, and they became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away so that they could not be found anywhere. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

vw@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.

vw@Daniel:2:37 @ You O king are a king of kings. For the God of Heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and honor.

vw@Daniel:2:38 @ And wherever the sons of men, the animals of the field, and the birds of the sky dwell, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.

vw@Daniel:2:39 @ And in your place shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours, and another third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

vw@Daniel:2:40 @ And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. Inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters all things, and like iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.

vw@Daniel:2:41 @ And whereas you saw the feet and the toes, partly of potters’ clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided. But there shall be in it the strength of iron, just as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

vw@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken.

vw@Daniel:2:43 @ And as you saw the iron mixed with the miry clay, they shall become mixed with the seed of men. But they shall not cleave to one another, even as iron does not fellowship with clay.

vw@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and bring all these kingdoms to an end, and it shall stand forever.

vw@Daniel:2:45 @ Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold in pieces, the Great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass after this. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it is sure.

vw@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face prostrate before Daniel. And he commanded that they present an offering to him with incense.

vw@Daniel:2:47 @ The king answered Daniel and said, Your God truly is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.

vw@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts. And he made him ruler over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:2:49 @ And Daniel petitioned the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

vw@Daniel:3:1 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold whose height was sixty cubits; its breadth, six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:3:2 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges and the justices, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

vw@Daniel:3:3 @ Then were gathered the satraps, the prefects, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the justices, and all the officials of the provinces, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

vw@Daniel:3:4 @ Then the herald cried with strength: To you it is commanded O peoples, nations, and languages,

vw@Daniel:3:5 @ that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, zither, the lyre, harp, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, you shall fall down and prostrate yourselves before the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.

vw@Daniel:3:6 @ And whoever does not fall down and prostrate themselves, at that moment they will be thrown into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.

vw@Daniel:3:7 @ So at that time when all the people heard the sound of the horn, the pipe, zither, the lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and languages fell down, prostrating themselves before the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

vw@Daniel:3:8 @ Then at that time certain Chaldeans approached and accused the Jews.

vw@Daniel:3:9 @ They spoke and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live forever!

vw@Daniel:3:10 @ You, O king, have made a decree that every man who shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, zither, the lyre, harp, and the bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and prostrate himself before the golden image.

vw@Daniel:3:11 @ And whoever does not fall down and prostrate himself, he should be thrown into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.

vw@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have set over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, do not give due regard to you. They do not serve your gods nor prostrate themselves before the golden image which you have set up.

vw@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar in anger and wrath commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.

vw@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that you do not serve my gods, nor prostrate yourselves before the golden image which I have set up?

vw@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, zither, the lyre, harp, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, fall down and prostrate yourselves before the image which I have made. But if you do not prostrate yourselves, in that moment you shall be thrown into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. And who is that god who shall deliver you out of my hand?

vw@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

vw@Daniel:3:17 @ If it is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

vw@Daniel:3:18 @ But even if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods nor prostrate ourselves before the golden image which you have set up.

vw@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usual to heat it.

vw@Daniel:3:20 @ And he commanded mighty men of valor from his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to throw them into the burning fiery furnace.

vw@Daniel:3:21 @ Then these men were tied up in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their other clothes, and were thrown into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

vw@Daniel:3:22 @ Therefore also, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

vw@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

vw@Daniel:3:24 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was startled. And he rose up in haste; he spoke and said to his counselors, Did we not throw three men bound into the middle of the fire? They replied and said to the king, True, O king.

vw@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered and said, Behold! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and there is no harm to them. And the form of the fourth is like the son of a god.

vw@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace. He answered and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire.

vw@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors gathered around. And they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power, and the hair of their head was not scorched, nor were their coats changed, nor was there any smell of fire on them.

vw@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His Angel and has delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and have changed the king’s words, and have given their bodies that they might not serve nor prostrate themselves before any god except their own God.

vw@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree; that every people, nation, and language who speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut into pieces and his house shall be made into an outhouse; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.

vw@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king made Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego prosper in the province of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:4:1 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and tongues that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

vw@Daniel:4:2 @ It seemed good for me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done with me.

vw@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a dream which terrified me, and the thoughts on my bed and visions of my head troubled me.

vw@Daniel:4:6 @ So I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

vw@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the magicians, the conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the fortunetellers came in. And I told the dream before them, but they could not make its interpretation known to me.

vw@Daniel:4:8 @ But at 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,

vw@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.

vw@Daniel:4:10 @ As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and, behold, a tree was in the middle of the earth. And its height was great.

vw@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree became great and strong, and its height reached to the heavens, and it was visible to the ends of all the earth.

vw@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit plentiful, and food for all was in it. The beasts of the field sought shade under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

vw@Daniel:4:13 @ I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher, even a holy one, came down from the heavens.

vw@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried with might and said this: Cut down the tree and cut off its branches. Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

vw@Daniel:4:15 @ Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of the heavens, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

vw@Daniel:4:16 @ Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the heart of a beast. And let seven times pass over him.

vw@Daniel:4:17 @ This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the holy ones, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

vw@Daniel:4:18 @ I, Nebuchadnezzar, have seen this dream. Now you, O Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known the interpretation to me. But you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

vw@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stunned for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spoke and said, O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!

vw@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree that you saw, which became great and strong, whose height reached to the heavens and was visible to all the earth,

vw@Daniel:4:21 @ and its leaves being beautiful, and its fruit plentiful, and food for all being in it, under which the beasts of the field lived, and in its branches the birds of the heavens had their home:

vw@Daniel:4:22 @ It is you, O king, for you have become great and strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.

vw@Daniel:4:23 @ And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Cut the tree down, and destroy it. Yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let him be wet with the dew of the heavens, and his portion with the beasts of the field, until seven times pass over him.

vw@Daniel:4:24 @ This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:

vw@Daniel:4:25 @ And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be fed with grass like oxen. And you shall be wet with dew of the heavens; and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and He gives it to whomever He desires.

vw@Daniel:4:26 @ And whereas they commanded to leave the stump and roots of the tree: Your kingdom shall be secure to you after you have come to know that Heaven rules.

vw@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you: Even break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; so that perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity.

vw@Daniel:4:29 @ At the end of twelve months, he was walking in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:4:30 @ The king spoke and said, Is this not great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?

vw@Daniel:4:31 @ While the word was still in the king’s mouth a voice fell from the heavens, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: The kingdom has been taken away from you!

vw@Daniel:4:32 @ And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be fed with grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He gives it to whomever He desires.

vw@Daniel:4:33 @ That very hour the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men, and he ate grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the heavens, until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

vw@Daniel:4:34 @ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High. And I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose dominion is an eternal dominion, and His rule from generation to generation.

vw@Daniel:4:35 @ And all those living in the earth are counted as nothing. And He does according to His will in the army of Heaven, and among those living in the earth. And no one is able to restrain His hand or say to Him, What are You doing?

vw@Daniel:4:36 @ At that time my reason returned to me, and the glory of my kingdom, my majesty, and my splendor returned to me. And my counselors and my nobles sought to me. And I was reestablished in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.

vw@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor the King of Heaven, for all His works are truth, and His ways are justice. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

vw@Daniel:5:1 @ Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles. And he drank wine before the thousand.

vw@Daniel:5:2 @ While tasting the wine, Belshazzar commanded the golden and silver vessels to be brought, those his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

vw@Daniel:5:3 @ Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God in Jerusalem. And the king, his nobles, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.

vw@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank wine and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, of iron, wood, and stone.

vw@Daniel:5:5 @ At that moment fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace across from the lampstand. And the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

vw@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins shook, and his knees knocked one against the other.

vw@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the fortunetellers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever can read this writing and explain its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around his neck. And he shall rule third in the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:5:8 @ Then all the king’s wise men came in. But they could not read the writing or make the interpretation known to the king.

vw@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed, and his nobles were perplexed.

vw@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen came into the banquet house because of the words of the king and his nobles. The queen spoke and said, O king, live forever. Do not let your thoughts terrify you, and do not let your countenance be changed.

vw@Daniel:5:11 @ There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom were found in him, like the wisdom of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, your father the king, appointed him master of the magicians, conjurers, Chaldeans and fortunetellers;

vw@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and declaring riddles, and the solving of problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.

vw@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was thrust in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel who is of the sons of the captives of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah?

vw@Daniel:5:14 @ I have even heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and light, and excellent wisdom, and understanding are found in you.

vw@Daniel:5:15 @ And now, the wise men and the conjurers have been thrust in before me, so that they might read this writing and make the interpretation known to me. But they were not able to declare the interpretation of the thing.

vw@Daniel:5:16 @ And I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make know to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a golden chain around your neck, and you will rule third in the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another. Yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

vw@Daniel:5:18 @ O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor.

vw@Daniel:5:19 @ And for the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he desired, and whom he desired he kept alive. And whom he would, he set up; and whom he desired, he put down.

vw@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him.

vw@Daniel:5:21 @ And he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the animals, and his home was with the wild asses. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the heavens, until he knew that the Most High God is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He appoints over it whomever He desires.

vw@Daniel:5:23 @ But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of Heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you. And you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, and do not know. And you have not glorified the God in whose hand your life, breath, and all your ways is.

vw@Daniel:5:24 @ Then the part of the hand was sent from Him, and this writing was written.

vw@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

vw@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has numbered your kingdom and finished it.

vw@Daniel:5:27 @ TEKEL: You are weighed in the balances and found deficient.

vw@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

vw@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a necklace of gold around his neck. And they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule third in the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:5:30 @ That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, was killed.

vw@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty two years old.

vw@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, that they might be over the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:6:2 @ And over them were three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, so that the satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no loss.

vw@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king was thinking to set him over all the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom. But they could find no occasion or fault because he was trustworthy. And no error or fault was found in him.

vw@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his God.

vw@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and satraps gathered together to the king and said this to him, King Darius, live forever.

vw@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the officials and the governors, have planned together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except from you, O king, shall be thrown into the den of lions.

vw@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the document, so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not pass away.

vw@Daniel:6:9 @ So, King Darius signed the document and the decree.

vw@Daniel:6:10 @ And when he had learned that the document was signed, Daniel went to his house. And in his roof room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt on his knees three times a day, and prayed and praised before his God, as he did before.

vw@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men conspired together and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

vw@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree, saying, Have you not signed a decree that every man who shall ask of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, that he shall be thrown into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is certain, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not pass away.

vw@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel, who is of the sons of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard to you, O king, or the decree that you have signed, but he makes his petition three times a day.

vw@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased with himself, and he set his heart on Daniel, to deliver him. And he labored until the going down of the sun to deliver him.

vw@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men met before the king and said to the king, O king, know that the law of the Medes and Persians is that no decree or law which the king establishes may be changed.

vw@Daniel:6:16 @ And the king commanded. And they brought Daniel, and they threw him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually will deliver you.

vw@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den. And the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the matter concerning Daniel might not be changed.

vw@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

vw@Daniel:6:19 @ Then the king rose up at dawn, at daybreak, and hurried to the den of lions.

vw@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came to the den, he cried with a grieving voice to Daniel. The king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God whom you always serve, is He able to deliver you from the lions?

vw@Daniel:6:21 @ Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever!

vw@Daniel:6:22 @ My God has sent His Angel, and He has shut the mouths of the lions. And they have not harmed me, because in His sight innocence was found in me. And also before you, O king, I have done no harm.

vw@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad over him. And he commanded to bring up Daniel from the den. And Daniel was brought out of the den, and no harm was found on him, because he trusted in his God.

vw@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel. And they threw them into the den of lions, them, their sons and their wives. And the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones before they ever reached the bottom of the den.

vw@Daniel:6:25 @ Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, the nations, and the languages who were living in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

vw@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in every domain of my kingdom there shall be trembling and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God and endures forever, and His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed. And His rule shall be to the end.

vw@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, He who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

vw@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel was made to prosper in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

vw@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main points.

vw@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel spoke and said, In my vision by night I was looking. And, behold, the four winds of the heavens were stirring up the Great Sea.

vw@Daniel:7:3 @ And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another.

vw@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked off. And it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

vw@Daniel:7:5 @ And, behold, another beast, a second, like a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, Rise up, devour much flesh.

vw@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I was looking, and, behold, another like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird on its back. And also the beast had four heads. And dominion was given to it.

vw@Daniel:7:7 @ And after this I was looking in the night visions. And, behold, the fourth beast was frightening and terrifying, and very strong! And it had great iron teeth. It devoured, and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

vw@Daniel:7:8 @ I was contemplating the horns. And behold, another little horn came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

vw@Daniel:7:9 @ I watched until the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days sat, whose robe was white as snow and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was like flames of fire, its wheels like burning fire.

vw@Daniel:7:10 @ A stream of fire went out and came out from before Him. A thousand thousands served Him, and a vast innumerable number stood before Him. The judgment was set and the books were opened.

vw@Daniel:7:11 @ Then I was watching because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the beast was killed, and his body was destroyed and given to the burning flame.

vw@Daniel:7:12 @ As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away. Yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

vw@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions. And behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of the heavens. And He came to the Ancient of Days. And they brought Him near before Him.

vw@Daniel:7:15 @ I, Daniel, was distressed in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

vw@Daniel:7:16 @ And I came near one of those who stood by and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made me know the interpretation of the things.

vw@Daniel:7:17 @ These great beasts which are four, are four kings which shall rise up out of the earth.

vw@Daniel:7:18 @ But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

vw@Daniel:7:19 @ Then I wanted to know the truth of the fourth beast, which was different from all of the others, very frightening, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze; which devoured and broke in pieces, and trampled what was left with its feet,

vw@Daniel:7:20 @ also of the ten horns that were on its head, and the other which came up, and before whom three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

vw@Daniel:7:21 @ I was watching, and the same horn made war with the saints and prevailed against them,

vw@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.

vw@Daniel:7:23 @ And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall trample it down and break it in pieces.

vw@Daniel:7:24 @ And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings; they shall rise, and another shall rise after them. And he shall be different from the first, and he shall abase three kings.

vw@Daniel:7:25 @ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall continually harass the saints of the Most High. And he shall intend to change times and law. And they shall be given into his hand for a period of a time and times and one half time.

vw@Daniel:7:26 @ But the court shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy until the end.

vw@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

vw@Daniel:7:28 @ Thus far is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts terrified me much, and my countenance changed in me. But I kept the matter in my heart.

vw@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me the first time.

vw@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the vision, and it happened when I looked that I was at Shushan, the palace, which is in the province of Elam. And in the vision I saw that I was by the Ulai River.

vw@Daniel:8:3 @ Then I lifted up my eyes and looked. And behold, a ram was standing before the river, having horns. And the horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

vw@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward, so that no beasts could stand before him, and no one could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will and became great.

vw@Daniel:8:5 @ And as I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west, over the face of the whole earth and did not touch the ground. And the he goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

vw@Daniel:8:6 @ And he came to the ram with the horns which I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with furious power.

vw@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was enraged against him. And he struck the ram and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him. But he threw him down to the ground and trampled him. And there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

vw@Daniel:8:8 @ Then the male goat became very great. And when he became strong, the great horn was broken. And in its place came up four conspicuous ones toward the four winds of the heavens.

vw@Daniel:8:9 @ And out of one of them came a little horn which became very great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beautiful land.

vw@Daniel:8:10 @ And it became great, even to the host of the heavens. And it caused some of the host and of the stars to fall to the ground, and trampled them.

vw@Daniel:8:11 @ He magnified himself even to the Prince of the host. And the regular sacrifice was taken away by him, and the foundation of His sanctuary was cast down.

vw@Daniel:8:12 @ And a host was assigned to him against the regular sacrifice because of transgression. And he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

vw@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, For how long is the vision, concerning the regular sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to permit both the holy place and the host to be trampled?

vw@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to me, For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be put right.

vw@Daniel:8:15 @ And it happened when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought the understanding, that behold, one having the appearance of a man stood before me.

vw@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, and he called and said, Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.

vw@Daniel:8:17 @ And he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was afraid and fell on my face. But he said to me, O son of man, understand that the vision is about the time of the end.

vw@Daniel:8:18 @ And while he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face toward the ground. But he touched me, and stood me upright.

vw@Daniel:8:19 @ And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall happen at the time of the end of the indignation. For at the appointed time the end will come.

vw@Daniel:8:20 @ The ram which you saw with two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

vw@Daniel:8:21 @ And the male goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.

vw@Daniel:8:22 @ And as for that which was broken, and four stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in its power.

vw@Daniel:8:23 @ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king shall stand forth, having fierce countenance and understanding sinister schemes.

vw@Daniel:8:24 @ And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy extraordinarily, and he shall prosper, and work, and destroy the mighty and the holy people.

vw@Daniel:8:25 @ And also through his cunning he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. And he will magnify himself in his heart, and through prosperity shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Ruler of rulers, but he shall be broken in pieces without hands.

vw@Daniel:8:26 @ And the morning and evening vision that was told is true. But you shall close up the vision, for it is yet for many days.

vw@Daniel:8:27 @ And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days. Afterward, I got up and did the king’s business. And I was astonished at the vision, but did not understand it.

vw@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,

vw@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood the number of the years by the books, from the Word of Jehovah to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

vw@Daniel:9:3 @ And I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.

vw@Daniel:9:4 @ And I prayed to Jehovah my God, and made my confession, saying, O Lord, the great and awesome Mighty God, keeping the covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments,

vw@Daniel:9:6 @ And we have not heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our rulers, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

vw@Daniel:9:7 @ O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us the shame of face, as it is this day to the men of Judah, and to those living in Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are afar in all the lands where You have driven them for their unfaithfulness which they have trespassed against You.

vw@Daniel:9:8 @ O Lord, shame of face belongs to us, to our kings, to our rulers and to our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

vw@Daniel:9:9 @ To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him.

vw@Daniel:9:10 @ We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws which he set before us by His servants the prophets.

vw@Daniel:9:11 @ Yea, all Israel has transgressed Your Law and turned aside so as not to obey Your voice. For this reason the curse has poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

vw@Daniel:9:12 @ And He has confirmed His Words which He spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil. For under the whole heavens it has never been done as has been done to Jerusalem.

vw@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we did not make our prayer before Jehovah our God that we might turn from our depravities and understand Your truth.

vw@Daniel:9:14 @ And Jehovah has looked on the evil and has brought it upon us. For Jehovah our God is righteous in all His works which He does. For we did not obey His voice.

vw@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made for Yourself a name, as it is this day; we have sinned; we have done wickedly.

vw@Daniel:9:16 @ O Lord, I pray, according to all Your righteousness, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain. For because of our sins and for our fathers’ iniquities, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

vw@Daniel:9:17 @ And now, hear, O our God, the prayer of Your servant and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary that is desolate, for the sake of the Lord.

vw@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, bow down Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name. For we do not make our supplications before You on account of our righteousness, but because of Your great mercies.

vw@Daniel:9:20 @ And while I was speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and prostrating with my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God,

vw@Daniel:9:21 @ and while I was speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, reached me as I was weary and faint, about the time of the evening sacrifice.

vw@Daniel:9:23 @ At the beginning of your prayers the word came forth, and I have come to explain it. For you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision:

vw@Daniel:9:24 @ Seventy weeks are decreed regarding your people, and regarding your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.

vw@Daniel:9:25 @ Know, therefore, and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem, to Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks and sixty two weeks. The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in times of distress.

vw@Daniel:9:26 @ And after sixty two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming ruler shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with a flood, and desolations are determined, and there shall be war until the end.

vw@Daniel:9:27 @ And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the grain offering to cease. And on a corner will be abominations that cause horror, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall be poured out on the desolate.

vw@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. And the word was true, but the appointed time was long. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.

vw@Daniel:10:4 @ And in the twenty fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,

vw@Daniel:10:5 @ then I lifted up my eyes and looked: And behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold from Uphaz.

vw@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was also like the beryl, and his face looked like lightning. And his eyes were like torches of fire; and his arms and his feet in color like polished bronze; and the sound of his words was like the sound of a multitude.

vw@Daniel:10:7 @ And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision. For the men who were with me did not see the vision. But a great trembling fell on them so that they fled to hide themselves.

vw@Daniel:10:8 @ Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me. For my glory was turned within me into corruption, and I had no strength.

vw@Daniel:10:9 @ Yet I heard the sound of his words. And when I heard the sound of his words, then I was on my face, in a deep sleep, and my face was toward the ground.

vw@Daniel:10:10 @ And, behold, a hand touched me, which made me tremble in my knees and in the palms of my hands.

vw@Daniel:10:11 @ And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you and stand up, for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling.

vw@Daniel:10:12 @ And he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel. For from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.

vw@Daniel:10:13 @ But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days. But, lo, Michael, one of the chief rulers, came to help me; for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

vw@Daniel:10:14 @ Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for many days.

vw@Daniel:10:15 @ And when he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face to the ground, and I became speechless.

vw@Daniel:10:16 @ And, behold, one resembling the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, my distress has overwhelmed me because of the vision, and I have no strength left.

vw@Daniel:10:17 @ For how can this servant of my lord speak with you my lord? For as for me, there is no strength left in me; nor is there breath left in me.

vw@Daniel:10:18 @ Then again, one resembling a man touched me and strengthened me.

vw@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said, O man greatly beloved, do not fear. Peace to you. Be strong. Yea, be strong! And when he had spoken to me I was strengthened. And I said, Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.

vw@Daniel:10:20 @ And he said, Do you know why I have come to you? And now I will return to fight with the ruler of Persia. And when I have gone out, then indeed, the ruler of Greece shall come.

vw@Daniel:10:21 @ But I will tell you what is written in the Scripture of Truth. (And no one holds strong with me in these things, except Michael your ruler.

vw@Daniel:11:1 @ And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to strengthen and protect him.)

vw@Daniel:11:2 @ And now I will declare the truth to you: Behold, three more kings shall stand up in Persia; and the fourth shall be rich in all greater riches. And when he is strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

vw@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he stands up his kingdom shall be broken in pieces and shall be divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up and given to others besides these.

vw@Daniel:11:5 @ And the king of the south shall be strong. And one of his rulers, even he will gain strength over him, and he will rule. His dominion shall be a great dominion.

vw@Daniel:11:6 @ And at the end of years they shall join 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 power of the arm. And he will not stand, nor his arm. But she and those who brought her shall be given up, as well as the one who begot her and who supported her in these times.

vw@Daniel:11:7 @ But out of the shoots of her roots one will stand in his place, and he shall come with an army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north. And he will act against them and prevail.

vw@Daniel:11:8 @ And he will also bring their gods with their cast images, along with their possessions of silver and gold vessels, into captivity to Egypt. And he will continue more years than the king of the north.

vw@Daniel:11:9 @ And the king of the south will come into his kingdom and will return to his own land.

vw@Daniel:11:10 @ But his sons shall be stirred up and shall gather a multitude of great forces. And one certainly shall come and overflow and pass through. And he will return to his fortress and be stirred up.

vw@Daniel:11:11 @ And the king of the south will be bitter and will go out and fight with him, with the king of the north. And he shall raise a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

vw@Daniel:11:12 @ And when he has carried away the multitude, his heart will be lifted up. And he will cause a vast innumerable number to fall, but he will not prevail.

vw@Daniel:11:13 @ For the king of the north shall return and raise a greater multitude than the former. And at the end of some years, he shall come to attack with a great army and with much equipment.

vw@Daniel:11:14 @ And in those times many shall stand up against the king of the south. And the sons of the violent ones of your people shall rise up to fulfill the vision, but they shall stumble.

vw@Daniel:11:15 @ So the king of the north shall come and build up a siege mound and seize a fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, nor his choice people, for there will be no strength to resist.

vw@Daniel:11:16 @ But he who comes against him will do as he desires, and no one shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the glorious land, with destruction in his hand.

vw@Daniel:11:17 @ And he shall set his face to go in with the might of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do. And he shall give the daughter of women to him, to destroy it. But she shall not stand, nor be for him.

vw@Daniel:11:18 @ After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many. But a ruler shall make his reproach cease for him, but his reproach shall return to him.

vw@Daniel:11:19 @ And he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and not be found.

vw@Daniel:11:20 @ Then one who imposes taxes shall stand in his place, in the glorious kingdom. But within a few days he will be broken in pieces, but not in anger nor in battle.

vw@Daniel:11:21 @ And a vile person shall stand up in his place, and they shall not give to him the honor as king. But he shall come in with quietness and obtain the kingdom by intrigues.

vw@Daniel:11:22 @ And with the forces of the overflow they shall be swept from before him, and be broken, and also the ruler of the covenant.

vw@Daniel:11:23 @ And after they join themselves to him, he will practice deceit; for he shall come and shall be strong with a few people.

vw@Daniel:11:24 @ He will go in peaceably, even into the rich places of the province. And he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He shall plunder and spoil and scatter goods among them. And he shall devise his plots against the strongholds, even for a time.

vw@Daniel:11:25 @ And he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south will be stirred up to battle with a great and very mighty army. But he shall not stand, for they will devise plots against him.

vw@Daniel:11:27 @ And both of these kings shall have it in their hearts to do evil, and they will speak lies at one table. But it will not prosper, for the end shall still be at the appointed time.

vw@Daniel:11:28 @ And he will return to his land with great wealth. And his heart shall be against the holy covenant. And he will act, and he shall return to his own land.

vw@Daniel:11:29 @ At the appointed time he will return and come against the south. But it will not be as the former or as the latter.

vw@Daniel:11:30 @ For ships from Kittim will come against him. And he will be grieved and return and be furious against the holy covenant. And he will act, and he will return and give heed to those who forsake the holy covenant.

vw@Daniel:11:31 @ And forces will stand for him, and they will profane the sanctuary fortress. And they shall remove the regular sacrifice, and they will place there the abomination that causes horror.

vw@Daniel:11:32 @ And he will corrupt with flatteries those who act wickedly against the covenant. But the people who know their God will be strong and will work.

vw@Daniel:11:33 @ And those who understand among the people will instruct many. Yet they will stumble by the sword and by flame, by captivity and spoils for many days.

vw@Daniel:11:34 @ And when they shall stumble, they will be helped with a little help. But many will join them with hypocrisy.

vw@Daniel:11:35 @ And some of those who understand shall stumble, to refine and to purge them, and to make them white, unto the time of the end; for it is yet for the appointed time.

vw@Daniel:11:36 @ And the king shall do according to his own will. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god; he shall even speak extraordinary things against the Mighty God of gods and shall prosper until the indignation is complete. For that which is decreed shall be done.

vw@Daniel:11:37 @ He shall not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself above them all.

vw@Daniel:11:38 @ But in his place he shall honor the god of fortresses, and he shall honor a god whom his fathers did not know, with gold and silver and with precious stones, and desirable things.

vw@Daniel:11:39 @ And he shall act in the strongholds of the fortresses with a foreign god, whom he shall acknowledge. He shall multiply in glory, and he shall cause them to rule over many and shall divide the land for gain.

vw@Daniel:11:40 @ And at the time of the end, the king of the south will push against him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships. And he shall go into the lands and shall overflow and pass through.

vw@Daniel:11:41 @ And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many will stumble. But these shall escape out of his hand: Edom and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

vw@Daniel:11:42 @ He will stretch out his hand against the lands, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

vw@Daniel:11:43 @ But he will rule over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

vw@Daniel:11:44 @ But news from the east and from the north shall trouble him. And he will go out with great fury to utterly destroy and annihilate many.

vw@Daniel:11:45 @ And he shall plant his palace tents between the seas, in the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

vw@Daniel:12:1 @ And at that time, Michael shall stand up, the great ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And there shall be a time of distress, such as has not been since there was a nation until that time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the Book.

vw@Daniel:12:2 @ And many of those sleeping in the earth’s dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting abhorrence.

vw@Daniel:12:3 @ And the prudent shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever.

vw@Daniel:12:4 @ But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

vw@Daniel:12:5 @ And I, Daniel, looked. And behold, two others stood there, the one on this side, and one on that side of the river’s edge.

vw@Daniel:12:6 @ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was on the waters of the river, How long will it be until the end of these wonders?

vw@Daniel:12:7 @ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was on the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand to the heavens and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when they have made an end of scattering the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

vw@Daniel:12:8 @ And I heard, but I did not understand. And I said, O my lord, what shall be the end of these things?

vw@Daniel:12:9 @ And he said, Go your way, Daniel! For the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

vw@Daniel:12:10 @ Many shall be purified and made white and tested, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

vw@Daniel:12:11 @ And from the time the regular sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that causes horror is set up, there shall be one thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

vw@Daniel:12:12 @ Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty five days.

vw@Daniel:12:13 @ But you, go on to the end, for you shall rest and stand for your inheritance at the end of the days.

vw@Hosea:1:1 @ The Word of Jehovah that came to 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.
