God Answers the Prophet

1

I will  astandh5975 on my guardh4931 posth4931 And stationh3320 myself on the ramparth4692; And I will  bkeeph6822 watchh6822 to seeh7200  cwhath4100 He will speakh1696 to me, And howh4100 I may replyh7725  1whenh5921 I am reprovedh8433b.

2

Then the LORDh3068 answeredh6030a me and saidh559, " aRecordh3789 the visionh2377 And inscribeh874 it on tabletsh3871, That  1the one who  2readsh7121 it may runh7323.

3

"For the visionh2377 is yeth5750 for the  aappointedh4150 timeh4150; It  1hastensh6315 toward the goalh7093 and it will not  2failh3576. Thoughh518 it tarriesh4102,  bwaith2442 for it; For it will certainlyh935 comeh935, it  cwill not delayh309.

4

"Beholdh2009, as for the  aproudh6075a one, His soulh5315 is not righth3474 within him; But the  brighteoush6662 will liveh2421a by his  1faithh530.

5

"Furthermoreh637,  awineh3196 betraysh898 the  bhaughtyh3093 manh1397, So that he does not  cstayh5115b at homeh5115b. He  denlargesh7337 his appetiteh5315 like Sheolh7585, And he is like deathh4194, neverh3808 satisfiedh7646. He also gathersh622 to himself allh3605 nationsh1471 And collectsh622 to himself allh3605 peoplesh5971a.

6

"Will not allh3605 of theseh428  atakeh5375 up a taunt-songh4912 againsth5921 him, Even mockeryh4426 and insinuationsh2420 against him And sayh559, ` bWoeh1945 to him who increasesh7235a what is not his-- For howh4970 longh5704h4970-- And makesh3513 himself  1richh3513 with loansh5671?'

7

"Will not  1your creditorsh5391a  ariseh6965 up suddenlyh6621, And those who  2collecth2111 from you awakenh3364? Indeed, you will becomeh1961 plunderh4933 for them.

8

"Becauseh3588 you have  alootedh7997b manyh7227a nationsh1471, Allh3605 the remainderh3499a of the peoplesh5971a will looth7997b you-- Becauseh4480 of humanh120 bloodshedh1818 and violenceh2555  1done to the landh776, To the townh7151 and allh3605 its inhabitantsh3427.

9

"Woeh1945 to him who getsh1214  aevilh7451a gainh1215 for his househ1004 To  bputh7760 his nesth7064 on highh4791, To be deliveredh5337 from the handh3709 of calamityh7451b!

10

"You have devisedh3289 a  ashamefulh1322 thingh1322 for your househ1004 By cuttingh7096 offh7096 manyh7227a peoplesh5971a; So you are  bsinningh2398 against yourselfh5315.

11

"Surelyh3588 the  astoneh68 will cryh2199 out from the wallh7023, And the rafterh3714 will answerh6030a it from the  1frameworkh6086.

12

"Woeh1945 to him who  abuildsh1129 a cityh5892b with bloodshedh1818 And foundsh3559 a townh7151 with  1violenceh5767b!

13

"Is it not indeedh2009 from the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 That peoplesh5971a  atoilh3021 for fireh784, And nationsh3816 growh3286 wearyh3286 for nothingh7385b?

14

"For the earthh776 will be  afilledh4390 With the knowledgeh3045 of the gloryh3519b of the LORDh3068, As the watersh4325 coverh3680 the seah3220.

15

"Woeh1945 to you who make  1your neighborsh7453 drinkh8248, Who mixh5596 in your venomh2534 evenh637 to makeh7937 them drunkh7937 Soh4616 as to lookh5027 on their nakednessh4589!

16

"You will be filledh7646 with disgraceh7036 ratherh4480 thanh4480 honorh3519b. Nowh1571 you yourselfh859  adrinkh8354 and  1exposeh6188 your own nakednessh6188. The  bcuph3563a in the LORD'Sh3068 righth3225 handh3225 will comeh5437 aroundh5437 to you, And  cutterh7022 disgraceh7022 will come upon your gloryh3519b.

17

"For the  aviolenceh2555  1done to Lebanonh3844 will  2overwhelmh3680 you, And the devastationh7701 of its beastsh929  3by which you terrifiedh2865 them,  bBecauseh4480 of humanh120 bloodshedh1818 and  cviolenceh2555  4done to the landh776, To the townh7151 and allh3605 its inhabitantsh3427.

18

"Whath4100  aprofith3276 is the  1idolh6459 whenh3588 its makerh3335 has carvedh6458 it, Or  2an imageh4541a, a  bteacherh3384 of falsehoodh8267? For its makerh3335  ctrustsh982 in his own handiworkh3336 When he fashionsh6213a speechlessh483 idolsh457.

19

"Woeh1945 to him who  asaysh559 to a piece of woodh6086, ` bAwakeh7019a!' To a muteh1748 stoneh68, `Ariseh5782!' And that is your teacherh3384? Beholdh2009, it is overlaidh8610 with  cgoldh2091 and silverh3701, And thereh369 is  dnoh369 breathh7307 at allh3605 insideh7130 it.

20

"But the  aLORDh3068 is in His holyh6944 templeh1964.  1Let allh3605 the earthh776  bbe silenth2013 beforeh4480h6440 Him."
