\q1
|
|
\v 1 "Woe to the rebellious children," this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q1 "They make plans, but not from me; they make alliances with other nations, but they were not directed by my Spirit,
|
|
\q1 so they add sin to sin.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 They set out to go down into Egypt, but have not asked for my direction.
|
|
\q1 They seek protection from Pharaoh and take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Therefore Pharaoh's protection will be your shame,
|
|
\q1 and the refuge in Egypt's shade, your humiliation,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 although their princes are at Zoan, and their messengers have come to Hanes.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 They will all be ashamed because of a people who cannot help them,
|
|
\q1 who are neither help nor aid, but a shame, and even a disgrace."

\v 6 A declaration about the beasts of the Negev:
|
|
\q1 Through the land of trouble and danger, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent,
|
|
\q1 they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys, and their treasures on the camels' humps,
|
|
\q1 to a people who cannot help them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 For Egypt's help is worthless;
|
|
\q1 therefore I have called her Rahab, who sits still.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Now go, write it in their presence on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll,
|
|
\q1 that it may be preserved for the time to come as a testimony.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 For these are a rebellious people, lying children,
|
|
\q1 children who will not hear the instruction of Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 They say to the seers, "Do not see;"
|
|
\q1 and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy the truth to us;
|
|
\q1 speak flattering words to us, prophesy illusions.
|
|
\v 11 Turn aside from the way, stray off the path;
|
|
\q1 cause the Holy One of Israel to cease speaking before our face."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Therefore the Holy One of Israel says,
|
|
\q1 "Because you reject this word
|
|
\q1 and trust in oppression and deceit and lean on it,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 so this sin will be to you
|
|
\q1 like a broken part ready to fall, like a bulge in a high wall
|
|
\q1 whose fall will happen suddenly, in an instant."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken; he will not spare it,
|
|
\q1 so that there will not be found among its pieces a shard
|
|
\q1 with which to scrape fire from the hearth, or to scoop up water out of the cistern.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 For this is what the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel says,
|
|
\q1 "In returning and resting you will be saved; in quietness and in trust will be your strength.
|
|
\q1 But you were not willing.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 You said, 'No,
|
|
\q1 for we will flee on horses,' so you will flee;
|
|
\q1 and, 'We will ride upon swift horses,' so those who pursue you will be swift.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one;
|
|
\q1 at the threat of five you will flee
|
|
\q1 until your remnant will be like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain, or like a flag on a hill."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 Yet Yahweh is waiting to be gracious to you, therefore he is ready to show you mercy.
|
|
\q1 For Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 For a people will live in Zion, in Jerusalem, and you will weep no more.
|
|
\q1 He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When he hears it, he will answer you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 Though Yahweh gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction,
|
|
\q1 even so, your teacher will not hide himself anymore, but you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you saying,
|
|
\q1 "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 You will desecrate your carved figures overlaid with silver and your gold cast figures.
|
|
\q1 You will throw them away like a menstrual rag. You will say to them, "Get out of here."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 He will give the rain for your seed when you sow the ground,
|
|
\q1 and bread with abundance from the ground, and the crops will be abundant.
|
|
\q1 In that day your cattle will graze in broad pastures.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 The oxen and the donkeys, who plow the ground, will eat seasoned feed
|
|
\q1 that has been winnowed with a shovel and a fork.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 25 On every high mountain and on every high hill, there will be flowing brooks and streams of waters,
|
|
\q1 in the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 26 The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the sunlight of seven days.
|
|
\q1 Yahweh will bind up the breaking of his people and heal the bruises of his wounding them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 27 Look, the name of Yahweh comes from a distant place, burning with his anger and in dense smoke.
|
|
\q1 His lips are full of fury, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 28 His breath is like an overflowing torrent that reaches up to the middle of the neck,
|
|
\q1 to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. His breath is a bridle in the jaws of the peoples to cause them to wander away.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 29 You will have a song as in the night when a holy feast is observed,
|
|
\q1 and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 30 Yahweh will make the splendor of his voice heard and show the motion of his arm
|
|
\q1 in storming anger and flames of fire, with windstorm, rainstorm, and hailstones.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 31 For at the voice of Yahweh, Assyria will be shattered; he will strike them with a staff.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 32 Every stroke of the appointed rod that Yahweh will lay on them
|
|
\q1 will be accompanied with the music of tambourines and harps as he battles and fights with them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 33 For a place of burning was prepared long ago. Indeed, it is prepared for the king, and God has made it deep and wide.
|
|
\q1 The pile is ready with a fire and much wood.
|
|
\q1 The breath of Yahweh, like a stream of brimstone, will set it on fire.
