Isaiah:38:10-13:



sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:10 @ I had said, In the midst of my days, must I enter the gates of the nether world; I am deprived of the residue of my years.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:11 @ I had said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall not behold man any more among the inhabitants of the regions of death.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:12 @ My dwelling is broken down, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off, like a weaver, my life; with pining sickness will he snatch me away: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:13 @ I waited till morning, as a lion, so would he break all my bones: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:14 @ Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chirp; I did moan like a dove; my eyes were lifted up on high: O Lord, I am oppressed; grant me ease.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:15 @ What shall I speak? he hath promised it unto me, and he hath also accomplished it; I will make pilgrimages all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:16 @ O Lord, by these will live, and in all these is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou give me health, and cause me to live.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:17 @ Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but thou hast, in loving my soul, delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast behind thy back all my sins.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:18 @ For the nether world will not thank thee, death will not praise thee: they that go down into the pit will not hope for thy truth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:19 @ The living, the living alone shall thank thee, like me this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:20 @ The Lord is there to help me; therefore we will play my hymns all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:21 @ And Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the inflammation, and he shall recover.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:38:22 @ And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:1 @ At that time sent Merodach–baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick, and was become strong again.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:2 @ And Hezekiah was rejoiced on their account, and showed them his treasure–house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the whole of his armor–house, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not, in his house, and in all his dominion.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:3 @ Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What did these men say? and whence did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far–off country are they come unto me, from Babylon.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:4 @ And he said, What did they see in thy house? And Hezekiah said, all that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing that I did not show them in my treasures.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:5 @ And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts,

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:6 @ Behold, days are coming when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:7 @ And of thy sons that will issue from thee, whom thou wilt beget, shall they take; and they shall be court–servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:39:8 @ Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and stability in my days.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:1 @ Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:2 @ Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out unto her, that her time of sorrow is accomplished, that her iniquity is atoned for; for she hath received from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:3 @ A voice calleth out, In the wilderness make ye clear the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:4 @ Every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made a straight path, and the rough places a plain:

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:5 @ And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed; and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:6 @ A voice saith, Proclaim; and he saith, What shall I proclaim? all flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is as the flower of the field:

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:7 @ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the Lord hath blown upon it; surely the people is grass.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:8 @ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God will stand firm for ever.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:9 @ Upon a high mountain get thee up, thou that bringest good tidings to Zion; lift up with strength thy voice, thou who bringest good tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:10 @ Behold, the Lord Eternal will come with might, and his arm ruleth for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:11 @ Like a shepherd will he feed his flock: with his arm will he gather the lambs, and in his bosom will he carry them, will he lead gently those that suckle their young.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:12 @ Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters, and meted out the heavens with the span, and comprised in a measure the dust of the earth, and weighed in the scale–beam the mountains, and the hills in balances?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:13 @ Who hath meted out the Spirit of the Lord? and his counsellor that he could have given him information?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:14 @ With whom took he counsel, that he gave him understanding, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and caused him to know the way of understanding?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:15 @ Behold, nations are as a drop out of a bucket, and as the small dust of the balance are they accounted: behold, isles are like the flying dust.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:16 @ And Lebanon is not sufficient for burning, and its beasts do not suffice for burnt–offering.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:17 @ All the nations are as naught before him; less than nothing, and vanity are they accounted to him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:18 @ To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:19 @ The graven image the artificer hath cast and the goldsmith hath overspread it with gold, and fabricated silver chains.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:20 @ He that is skilled in the choice chooseth a wood that will not rot; he seeketh unto himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:21 @ Know ye not? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not paid attention to the foundations of the earth?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:22 @ that dwelleth above the circle of the earth, while its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; that stretched out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:23 @ That bringeth princes to naught; rendering the judges of the earth as vanity.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:24 @ Yes, they were not yet planted; yea, they were not yet sown; yea, their stem had not yet taken root in the earth: when he but breathed upon them, and they withered, and the storm–wind carrieth them away as stubble.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:25 @ To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to? saith the Holy One.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:26 @ Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these? he that bringeth out their host by number; that calleth them all by name; from the Mighty One not one escapeth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:27 @ Why wilt thou say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord, and my cause hath passed from the cognizance of my God?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:28 @ Dost thou not know? hast thou not heard? The God of everlasting is the Lord, is the Creator of the ends of the earth; he will not be faint and weary; unsearchable is his understanding.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:29 @ He giveth to the faint strength; and to the powerless he imparteth much might.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:30 @ Though youths should grow faint and be weary, and young men should utterly stumble:

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:40:31 @ Yet they that wait upon the Lord shall acquire new strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and not become faint.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:1 @ Keep silence before me, O islands; and let nations acquire new strength: let them approach, then let them speak, together let us come near to judgment.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:2 @ Who waked up from the east the man whom righteousness met in his steps? he giveth up nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; that his sword may render them as the dust, as driven stubble, his bow.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:3 @ He pursueth them, passeth along in safety, by a path which his feet have not gone over before.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:4 @ Who hath wrought and done it? he who called the generations from the beginning; I the Lord, the first, and with the latest I am the same.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:5 @ The isles saw it, and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:6 @ They help one another; and each one saith to his brother, Be strong!

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:7 @ So the smith encouraged the melter, he that smootheth with the hammer him that striketh on the anvil; saying of the solder, It is good; and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:8 @ But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:9 @ Thou, whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the midst of its chiefs, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:10 @ Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee, yea, I uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:11 @ Behold, ashamed and confounded shall be all that were incensed against thee; they shall be as naught and perish––the men that strive with thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:12 @ Thou wilt seek them, and shalt not find them, the men that contend with thee; they shall be as naught and as nothing, the men that make war against thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:13 @ For I the Lord thy God lay hold of thy right hand; who saith unto thee, Fear not, I help thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:14 @ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye few men of Israel: I myself help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:15 @ Behold, I have rendered thee a threshing instrument, sharp, new, having many teeth: thou shalt thresh mountains, and beat them small, and shalt render the hills as chaff.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:16 @ Thou shalt scatter them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the storm shall disperse them; but thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel shalt thou glorify thyself.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:17 @ The poor and the needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue is dried up with thirst: I the Lord will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:18 @ I will open on naked mountain–peaks rivers, and in the midst of valleys fountains; I will change the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into springs of water.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:19 @ I will place in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil–tree; I will set in the desert the fir–tree, the pine and the box–tree together;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:20 @ In order that they may see, and know and take, and comprehend together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:21 @ Produce your cause, saith the Lord: bring forward your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:22 @ Let them bring them forward and tell us what shall happen: the former things––what are they?––tell us, that we may take it to heart, and know the result of them; or let us hear the things that are to come.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:23 @ Tell the events that are to happen hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be astonished, and see it together.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:24 @ Behold, ye are less than nothing, and your work less than a breath: an abomination chooseth you.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:25 @ I have waked up one from the north, and he cometh; from the rising of the sun one who will call on my name: and he shall come princes as mortar, and as the potter treadeth down the clay.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:26 @ Who hath told it from the beginning, that we may know it? and aforetimes, that we may say, "it is right?" but indeed there is none that telleth, indeed there is none that letteth us hear, indeed there is none that heareth your words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:27 @ The first to Zion, Behold, there they are; and to Jerusalem will I give one that bringeth good tidings.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:28 @ And I ever look, and there is no man; and among these there is no counsellor, that they could answer a word.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:41:29 @ Behold, they all are naught; their works are nothing: wind and vanity are their molten images.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:1 @ Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:2 @ He shall not cry, nor call out aloud, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:3 @ A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:4 @ He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:5 @ Thus hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:6 @ I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:7 @ To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison–house those that dwell in darkness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:8 @ I am the Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor my praise to graven images.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:9 @ The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear of them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:10 @ Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:11 @ Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:12 @ Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:13 @ The Lord––as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war–cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:14 @ I have a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour together.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:15 @ I will lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:16 @ And I will cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:17 @ They shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye are our gods.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:18 @ Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:19 @ Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:20 @ Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:21 @ The Lord willed for the sake of his righteousness; he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:22 @ But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison–houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:23 @ Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken and listen, for the time to come?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:24 @ Who gave up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:42:25 @ Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:1 @ But now thus hath said the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; mine art thou.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:2 @ Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers,––they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:3 @ For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba in place of thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:4 @ Since thou art precious in my eyes, art honorable, and I indeed do love thee: therefore will I give men in place of thee, and nations instead of thy soul.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:5 @ Fear not, for I am with thee; from the east will I bring thy seed, and from the west will I gather thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:6 @ I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Withhold not: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:7 @ Every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; whom I have formed; yea, whom I have made.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:8 @ Bring forward the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:9 @ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can announce this? and cause us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:10 @ Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: in order that ye may know and believe me, and understand, that I am he; before me there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:11 @ I, I am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:12 @ I myself have announced it, and I have saved, and I have let it be heard, and there was no strange among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:13 @ Yea, from the day am I he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: if I will work, is there one that can hinder it?

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:14 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, For your sake did I send to Babylon, and in swift vessels brought I them all down, and the Chaldeans, in the ships of their joyful song.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:15 @ I am the Lord, the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:16 @ Thus hath said the Lord, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:17 @ Who bringeth forth chariot and horse, army and power: together shall they lie down, they shall not rise up again; they are extinct, like a wick are they quenched.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:18 @ Remember not the former things, and ancient events regard no more.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:19 @ Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; will ye not acknowledge it? I will even make in the wilderness a way, and in the desert rivers.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:20 @ The beasts of the field shall honor me, the monsters and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my elect;

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:22 @ But on me hast thou not called, O Jacob; for thou art become weary of me, O Israel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:23 @ Thou hast not brought unto me the lamb of thy burnt–offerings; and with thy sacrifices hast thou not honored me: I have not troubled thee with meat–offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:24 @ Thou hast not bought for me sweet cane, and with the fat of thy sacrifices hast thou not satisfied me; but thou hast troubled me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:25 @ I, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:26 @ Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: relate thou, in order that thou mayest be justified.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:27 @ Thy first father did sin, and they that plead for thee transgressed against me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Isaiah:43:28 @ Therefore do I profane the holy princes, and I give up Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar what is to be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy couch, were these.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:29 @ As for thee, O king, thy thoughts, when thou wast on thy couch, rose concerning what is to come to pass hereafter; and the Revealer of secrets hath made known to thee what is to come to pass.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, this secret hath not been revealed to me because of any wisdom that is in me more than in all other living; but for the sake that men might make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest understand the thoughts of thy heart.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:31 @ Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was a large image; this image was mighty, and its brightness was excellent; it stood opposite to thee; and its form was fear–inspiring.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:32 @ As regardeth this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms were of silver, its belly and its thighs of copper,

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:33 @ Its legs of iron, its feet part of them of iron and part of them of clay.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:34 @ Thou didst look on till the moment that a stone tore itself loose, not through hands, and it struck the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and ground them to pieces.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:35 @ Then were the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold ground up together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing–floors; and the wind carried them away, that no trace was found of them; and the stone that had stricken the image became a mighty mountain, and filled the whole earth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dream; and its interpretation will we relate before the king.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:37 @ Thou, O king, art a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven hath given kingdom, power, and strength, and honor:

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:38 @ And wheresoever the children of men dwell, hath he given the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art the head of gold.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:39 @ And after thee there will arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of copper, which will bear rule over all the earth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:40 @ And the fourth kingdom will be as strong as iron; forasmuch as iron grindeth up and beateth down all things, and as iron that breaketh, will it grind up and break all these.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:41 @ And that thou sawest the feet and toes, and part of them of potter’s clay, and part of them of iron, that it will be a divided kingdom, although there will be in it of the strength of the iron; forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mingled with miry clay.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were part of them of iron, and part of them of clay: so will the kingdom be partly strong and partly brittle.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:43 @ And whereas thou sawest iron mingled with miry clay: so will they mingle themselves among the seed of men; but they will not cleave firmly one to another, even as iron cannot be mingled with clay.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:44 @ But in the days of these kings will the God of heaven set up a kingdom: which shall to eternity not be destroyed, and its rule shall not be transferred to any other people; it will grind up and make an end of all these kingdoms, while it will itself endure for ever.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:45 @ Whereas thou sawest that out of the mountain a stone tore itself loose, not through hands, and that it ground up the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold: the great God hath made known to the king what is to come to pass after this. And the dream is reliable, and its interpretation certain.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:46 @ Then did king Nebuchadnezzar fall upon his face, and he bowed down to Daniel, and ordered that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:2:47 @ The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and the revealer of secrets; because thou hast been able to reveal this secret.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:3:13 @ Then ordered Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and ‘Abed–nego. Then were these men brought before the king.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:3:16 @ Then answered Shadrach, Meshach, and ‘Abed–nego, and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee a word in this matter.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:3:19 @ Then was Nebuchadnezzar filled with fury, and the form of his countenance was changed because of Shadrach, Meshach, and ‘Abed–nego; he commenced and ordered that they should heat the furnace thoroughly seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:3:20 @ And he ordered the mightiest men in strength that were in his army, to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and ‘Abed–nego, to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:3:27 @ And the lieutenants, superintendents, and governors, and the king’s counsellors, being assembled together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had had no power, and the hair of whose head was not singed, whose mantles were not changed, and on whom there was not come the smell of fire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, to me Daniel, after that which had appeared unto me at the first.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the vision––and it came to pass, in my seeing, that I was at Shushan the capital, which is in the province of ‘Elam; ––and I saw in the vision, as though I was by the river Ulai.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; so that all the beasts could not stand before him, and no one was there to deliver out of his hand: and he did according to his will, and became great.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:5 @ And as I was looking attentively, behold, there came a shaggy, he–goat from the west over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a sightly large horn between his eyes.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:6 @ And he came as far as the ram that had two horns, that I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with his furious power.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him coming close unto the ram, and he became bitterly enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand forward before him: and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and there was no one to deliver the ram out of his hand.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:8 @ And the shaggy he–goat became very great: but when he was grown strong, the great horn was broken; and there came up four slightly large ones in its place toward the four winds of heaven.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:9 @ And out of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:10 @ And it became great, even up to the host of the heavens; and it cast down to the ground some of the host and of the stars, and trod them under foot.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:11 @ Yea, it magnified itself even up to the prince of the host, and by it the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

sf_leeser_rev1@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host is given up together with the continual sacrifice, by reason of transgression: and it casteth down the truth to the ground, and it doth, and is prosperous.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:7:16 @ They never return upward: they are like a deceitful bow: by the sword shall their princes fall because of the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:1 @ Set the cornet to thy mouth. like the eagle against the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and against my law have they trespassed.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel did reject the good; so let the enemy pursue him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:4 @ They set up kings, but not my advice: they chose princes and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols so that they will be cut off.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:5 @ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath caused thy rejection; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be that they cannot cleanse themselves?

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:7 @ For the wind do they sow, and the whirlwind shall they reap: bringeth no standing corn; the plant yieldeth no meal; but should it yield it, strangers would swallow it up.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:8 @ Swallowed up is Israel: now are they among the nations as a vessel without any value.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:9 @ For they are needs gone up to Assyria, they who like a wild ass should dwell alone: Ephraim spendeth lovers’ gifts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:10 @ But even though they should spend gifts among the nations, now will I gather them: and they shall be humbled a little through the burden of the king of princes.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:11 @ Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, the altars have been unto him the means of sinning.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:12 @ I ever wrote down for him the great things of my law; but as a strange thing are they accounted.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:13 @ My sacrificial offerings they slay as common flesh that they may eat it; the Lord accepteth them not in favor: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall indeed return to Egypt.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel forgot his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire among his cities, and it shall devour their fine edifices.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel, for gladness, as other people; for thou art gone astray, unfaithful to thy God: thou hast loved the wages of sin upon every corn–filled threshing–floor.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:2 @ The threshing–floor and the wine–press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall deceive them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria will they eat unclean things.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not pour out wine to the Lord, and shall not be pleasing unto him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for this their food can only be for themselves, it shall not come into the house of the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:5 @ What will ye do on the day of the appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:6 @ For, lo, they are gone forth because of the desolation: Egypt will gather them up, Moph will bury them: the pleasant chambers for their silver,––these shall nettles take possession of; thorns shall in their tents.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:7 @ Come are the days of the visitation, come are the days of thy recompense; this shall Israel experience: a fool was the prophet, mad the inspired man, because of the greatness of thy iniquity, and the great hatefulness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:8 @ The watchman of Ephraim with my God, the prophet, was a snare of the fowler on all his ways, a hateful thing in the house of his god.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:9 @ They are deeply corrupt, as in the days of Gib’ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:10 @ Like grapes in the wilderness had I found Israel; as the first ripe fruit on the fig–tree in the first of the season had I seen your fathers; but they too went to Ba’al–pe’or: and devoted themselves unto that shameful idol, and became abominations as those they loved.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:11 @ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there is no more birth, and no pregnancy, and no conception.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:12 @ But though they were to bring up their children, yet would I bereave them, that there should be no man: yea, woe also to themselves, when I depart from them!

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, as I have seen him like Tyre, planted in a pleasant meadow,––yet this Ephraim shall lead forth to the murderer his children.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O Lord, what thou wilt give! give them a miscarrying womb and dried–up breasts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hate them; for the wickedness of their doings will I drive them out of my house: I will love them no farther; all their princes are rebels.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:16 @ Smitten is Ephraim, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet would I slay the beloved fruit of their body.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:1 @ An emptied vine is Israel; how should he bring forth fruit for himself? the more numerous was his fruit the more he increased the altars; the more prosperous was his land, the more they made goodly statues.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now shall they bear their guilt: this will break down their altars, will devastate their statues.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:3 @ For now will they say, We have no king; because we fear not the Lord: and the king––what can he do for us?

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:4 @ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: therefore springeth up the punishment as poison in the furrows of the field.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:5 @ For the calves of Beth–aven are terrified the inhabitants of Samaria: yea, the people thereof mourn over them, and also its false priests that rejoiced over them, for its glory, because it is departed from it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:6 @ Also this shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to the contentious king: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed because of his own counsel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king shall vanish like the foam upon the surface of the water.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:8 @ And destroyed shall be the high–places of Aven, the sin of Israel; the thorn and the thistle shall grow upon their altars: and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall upon us.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:9 @ More than in the days of Gib’ah hast thou sinned, O Israel! there they stood; and the battle in Gib’ah against the children of wickedness did not overtake them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:10 @ after my desire will I chastise them: and the people shall be gathered against them, when they harness them in their two furrows.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is as a well–taught heifer that loveth to tread out the corn; and I passed over her fair neck: now will I make Ephraim draw the wagon, Judah shall plough, and Jacob shall harrow the field for the enemy.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow then for yourselves after righteousness, that you may reap of kindness; cultivate your fallow field; for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness down for you.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:10:13 @ ye have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have ye reaped, ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy own way, in the multitude of thy mighty men:

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was yet young, then I loved him, and out of Egypt did I call my son.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:11:2 @ The called them; but the more they went from them: unto the Be’alim would they sacrifice, and to the graven images would they burn incense.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet I myself appointed a leader for Ephraim, who took them up in his arms; but they would not acknowledge that I healed them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Hosea:11:4 @ With human cords I ever drew them forward, with leading–strings of love: and I was to them as those that lift off the yoke from their jaws, and I held out unto them food.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Did ever such a thing as this come to pass in your days, or ever in the days of your fathers?

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:3 @ Tell ye of it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to another generation.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:4 @ What the caterpillar left hath the locust eaten; and what the locust left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm left hath the cricket eaten.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:5 @ Wake up, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet new wine, that it is taken away from your mouth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation is come up over my land, strong, and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it hath the cutting–teeth of the lioness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:7 @ It hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig–tree: it hath peeled it clean bare, and cast it down; made white are its light branches.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the betrothed of her youth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:9 @ Cut off are the meat–offering and the drink–offering from the house of the Lord: now mourn the priests, the ministers of the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:10 @ Wasted is the field, the land mourneth; for wasted is the corn: dried up is the new wine, withered is the oil.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen; wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because lost is the harvest of the field.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is made ashamed, and the fig–tree is withered; the pomegranate–tree, the palm–tree also, and the apple–tree, even all the trees of the field, are dried up; because joy hath ceased from the children of men.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests; wail, ye ministers of the altar: come, remain all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; for there are withholden from the house of your God the meat–offering and the drink–offering.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify ye a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, all the inhabitants of the land, into the house of the Lord your God, and cry aloud unto the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and like destruction from the Almighty will it come.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:16 @ Is not before our eyes the food cut off, from the house of our God joy and gladness?

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:17 @ The grains of seed are rotten under their clods, laid desolate are the garners, pulled down are the barns; for the corn is dried up.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:18 @ How do the beasts groan! how do the herds of cattle roam about; because there is no pasture for them: yea, the flocks of sheep are made to perish.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:19 @ To thee O Lord, will I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath singed all the trees of the field.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:1:20 @ Also the beasts of the field cry unto thee panting; for the brooks of waters are dried up, and a fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:1 @ Blow ye the cornet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mount; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh;

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:2 @ It is a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and of tempestuous obscurity, like the morning–dawn spread out upon the mountains: a people numerous and strong, the like of which hath never been and after it there will be none any more, even to the years of all coming generations.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:3 @ Before it devoureth a fire; and behind it singeth a flame: like the garden of ‘Eden was the land before it, and after it is a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth from it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:4 @ Like the appearance of horses is its appearance; and like horsemen, so do they run.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:5 @ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains do they leap; they are like the noise of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, as a strong people arrayed for a battle.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:6 @ At its presence the people are much pained: all the faces are covered with blackness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:7 @ Like mighty men do they run; like men of war they climb up a wall; and they march every one on his own ways, and they turn not aside on their paths.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:8 @ And they do not press one another; every one on his beaten track do they go forward: and they pass through between war–like weapons, and change not their purpose.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:9 @ Into the city they hasten forward; on the wall they run; into the houses they climb up; through the windows they make their entrance like a thief.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:10 @ Before them trembleth the earth; the heavens quake; the sun and the moon are obscured, and the stars withdraw their brightness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:11 @ And the Lord uttereth his voice before his army; for very numerous is his camp; for strong is he that executeth his word; for great is the day of the Lord and very terrible; and who is able to endure it?

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:12 @ But even now also, saith the Lord, return ye fully to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:13 @ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and return unto the Lord your God; for gracious and merciful is he, long suffering, and of great kindness, and he bethinketh himself of the evil.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:14 @ He that is conscious, let him return and repent: when may leave behind it a blessing; even a meat–offering and a drink–offering unto the Lord your God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:15 @ Blow the cornet in Zion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly;

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:17 @ Between the porch and the altar let the priests weep, the ministers of the Lord, and let them say, Spare, O Lord, thy people, and give not up thy heritage to reproach, for nations to make a by–word of them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:18 @ And the Lord was zealous for his land, and he had pity for his people.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:19 @ And the Lord answered and said unto his people, "Behold, I will send you the corn, and the young wine, and the oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will not give you up any more to be a reproach among the nations:

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:20 @ And the host of the north will I remove far away from you, and I will drive it off into a land barren and desolate, with its advance toward the eastern sea, and its rereward toward the western sea; and its stench shall ascend, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things."

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:21 @ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice; for the Lord hath done great things.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:22 @ Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness have become green; for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig–tree and the vine yield their strength.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:23 @ And ye children of Zion, be glad, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he hath given you the first rain in beneficence, and he hath caused to come down for you the rain, the first rain, and the latter rain in the first.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:24 @ And the threshing–floors are full of corn, and the vats overflow with young wine and oil.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:25 @ And I will repay to you the years which the locust hath eaten, with the cankerworm, and the cricket, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I had sent against you.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:26 @ And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall not be made ashamed unto eternity.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joel:2:27 @ And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else; and my people shall not be made ashamed unto eternity.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:2 @ And he said, The Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and then shall mourn the pastures of the shepherds, and then shall dry up the top of Carmel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:3 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have threshed Gil’ad with threshing instruments of iron;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:4 @ And I will send a fire into the house of Chazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben–hadad.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:5 @ And I will break the bars of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of ‘Eden: and the people of Syria shall be exiled unto Kir, saith the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:6 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Gazzah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they carried away exiles in full numbers, to deliver them up to Edom;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:7 @ And I will send a fire against the wall of Gazzah, which shall devour her palaces;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against ‘Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Eternal.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they delivered up the exiles in full numbers to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:10 @ And I will send a fire against the walls of Tyre, which shall devour her palaces.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:11 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he pursued with the sword his brother, and disregarded his mercy, and his anger tore in pieces continually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of the children of ‘Ammon, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gil’ad, in order to enlarge their own territory;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:1:14 @ And I will kindle a fire within the walls of Rabbah, which shall devour her palaces, with shouting on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the tempest;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:3:10 @ For they know not how to act rightly, saith the Lord, who treasure up violence and robbery in their palaces.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:4:7 @ And I also had indeed withholden from you the rain, when it was yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and upon another city I caused it not to rain; one piece of land was rained upon, and another piece whereupon it rained not became dried up;

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:4:8 @ And two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: and yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord Eternal hath sworn by his own existence, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and his palaces do I hate: therefore will I surrender up the city with all that filleth it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:6 @ A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is my honor? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name; and ye say, wherein have we despised thy name?

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:7 @ Ye offer upon my altar polluted bread; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:8 @ And if ye bring near the blind to sacrifice it, is this not evil? and if ye bring near the lame and the sick, is this not evil? do but present it unto thy governor, will he be pleased with thee, or receive thee with favor? saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:9 @ And now, I pray you, beseech the presence of God that he may be gracious unto us; from your hand hath this thing come: will he receive one of you with favor? saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:10 @ Oh that there were some one among you that would lock up the doors, that ye might not light up my altar for nought: I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither will I accept in favor an offering from your hand.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:11 @ For from the rising of the sun even unto his going down my name is great among the nations; and in every place incense is burnt and there is offered unto my name, even a pure offering; for great is my name among the nations, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:12 @ But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of the Lord is polluted, and by the assertion, Its food is contemptible.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:13 @ And ye have said, Behold, what a wearisome task is it! and ye have left it to famish, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye have brought what was robbed, and the lame, and the sick, and thus ye have brought an offering: should I accept this in favor from your hand? saith the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:1:14 @ But cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth a corrupt thing unto the Lord; for I am a great king, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is feared among the nations.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:1 @ And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:2 @ If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will even send out against you a curse, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I will curse the same, because ye do not lay it to heart.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:3 @ Behold, I will destroy unto you the seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your festive offerings; and one shall take you away with it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:4 @ And ye shall thereby know that I have sent out unto you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:5 @ My covenant was with him life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and because of my name he had dread.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:6 @ The law of truth was in his mouth, and falsehood was not found on his lips: in peace and equity he walked with me, and many did he turn away from iniquity.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:7 @ For the priest’s lips are ever to keep knowledge, and the law are they to seek from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:8 @ But ye are indeed departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of the Levite, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:9 @ Therefore have I also made you contemptible and low before all the people, in the same measure as ye do not keep my ways, but act with partiality in the law.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:10 @ Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why shall we deal treacherously every man against his brother, to profane the covenant of our fathers?

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:11 @ Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination hath been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the sanctuary of the Lord which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:12 @ The Lord will cut off unto the man that doth this, son and grandson, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that bringeth near an offering unto the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:13 @ And this do ye secondly, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping and with loud complaint, so that he turneth not any more his regard to the offerings, nor receiveth it with favor at your hand.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:14 @ Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast indeed dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:15 @ And not one doth so who hath a remnant of a spirit; for what desireth such a one? he seeketh a godly posterity: therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none of you deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:16 @ For he hateth putting away, so hath said the Lord the God of Israel, and him who covereth his garment with violence, so hath said the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, and deal not treacherously.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:2:17 @ Ye have wearied the Lord with your words: yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? By your saying, Every one that doth evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and in them he findeth delight; or else, Where is the God of justice!

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:1 @ Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall clear out the way before me: and suddenly will come to his temple the Lord, whom ye seek; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire for, behold, he is coming, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:2 @ But who can sustain the day of his coming? and who can stand when he appeareth? for he is like the fire of the melter, and like the lye of the washers:

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:3 @ And he will sit as a melter and purifier of silver; and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:4 @ And then shall be pleasant unto the Lord the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:5 @ And I will come near unto you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those that swear falsely, and against those that withhold the wages of the hired laborer, the widow, and the fatherless, and that do injustice to the stranger, and fear me not, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:6 @ For I the Lord,––I have not changed: and ye sons of Jacob––ye have not ceased to be.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:7 @ From the days of your fathers did ye depart from my statutes, and did not keep them; return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts; but ye say, Wherein shall we return?

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:8 @ Can a man rob God, that ye will rob me? But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and in heave–offerings.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:9 @ With the curse are ye cursed, and yet me do ye rob, O ye entire nation!

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:10 @ Bring ye all the tithes into the store–house, that there may be provision in my house, and prove me but herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing, until it be more than enough.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:11 @ And I will rebuke for you the devourer, and he shall not destroy for you the fruit of the ground: and the vine shall not cast its fruit for you before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:12 @ And all the nations shall call you blessed; for ye shall be a land of delight, saith the Lord of hosts.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:13 @ Your words have been strong against me, saith the Lord; but ye say, What have we spoken among us against thee?

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:14 @ Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked contritely before the Lord of hosts?

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:15 @ And now we call the presumptuous happy: yea, built up are those that practise wickedness; yea, they have even tempted God and are suffered to escape.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:16 @ Then conversed they that fear the Lord one with the other: and the Lord listened and heard it, and there was written a book of remembrance before him for those who fear the Lord, and for those who respect his name.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:17 @ And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, on that day which I create as a special treasure: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Malachi:3:18 @ And ye shall return, and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that hath not served him.
