ὐαὶ τέκνα ἀποστάται, τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐποιήσατε βουλὴν καὶ οὐ δι’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ συνθήκας οὐ διὰ τοῦ πνεύματός μου,
προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίας ἐφ’ ἁμαρτίαις·

οἱ πορευόμενοι καταβῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐκ ἐπηρώτησαν, τοῦ βοηθηθῆναι ὑπὸ Φαραὼ
καὶ σκεπασθῆναι ὑπὸ Αἰγυπτίων.

ἔσται γὰρ ὑμῖν ἡ σκέπη Φαραὼ
εἷς αἰσχύνην, καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπ’ Αἴγυπτον ὄνειδος.

ὅτι εἰσὶν
ἐν Τάνει ἀρχηγοὶ ἄγγελοι πονηροί·

μάτην κοπιάσουσιν πρὸς λαὸν ὃς οὐκ ὠφελήσει αὐτοὺς οὔτε εἰς βοήθειαν οὔτε εἷς ὠφέλειαν, ἀλλὰ εἷς αἰσχύνην καὶ ὄνειδος.

Ἡ ὅρασις τῶν τετραπόδων τῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

Ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ λέων καὶ σκύμνος λέοντος, ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἀσπίδες καὶ ἔκγονα ἀσπίδων πετομένων, οἳ ἔφερον ἐπ’ ὄνων καὶ καμήλων τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν πρὸς. ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ὠφελήσει
αὐτοὺς εἷς βοήθειαν ἀλλὰ εἰς αἰσχύνην καὶ ὄνειδος].

Αἰγύπτιοi μάταια καὶ κενὰ ὠφελήσουσιν ὑμᾶς· ἀπάγγειλον αὐτοῖς ὅτι ματαία
ἡ παράκλησις ὑμῶν αὕτη.

νῦν οὖν καθίσας γράψον ἐπὶ πυξίου ταῦτα καὶ εἷς βιβλίον, ὅτι ἔσται εἷς ἡμέρας καιρῶν ταῦτα καὶ εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα.

ὅτι λαὸς ἀπειθής ἐστιν, υἱοὶ ψευδεῖς οἳ οὐκ ἠβούλοντο ἀκούειν τὸν
νόμον τοῦ θεοῦ,

οἱ λέγοντες τοῖς προφήταις Μὴ ἀναγγέλλετε ἡμῖν, καὶ τοῖς τὸ. ὁράματα ὁρῶσιν Μὴ λαλεῖτε ἡμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἡμῖν λαλεῖτε
καὶ ἀναγγέλλετε ἡμῖν ἑτέραν πλάνησιν,

καὶ ἀποστρέψατε ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ταύτης· ἀφέλετε ἀφ’ ἡμῶν τὸν τρίβον τοῦτον,
καὶ ἀφέλετε ἀφ’ ἡμῶν τὸ λόγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὃ ἅγιος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ Ὅτι ἠπειθήσατε τοῖς λόγοις τούτοις καὶ ἠλπίσατε ἐπὶ ψεύδει, καὶ ὅτι ἐγόγγυσας καὶ πεποιθὼς
ἐγένου ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ,

διὰ. τοῦτο ἔσται ὑμῖν ἡ ἁμαρτία αὕτη ὡς τεῖχος πίπτον παραχρῆμα πόλεως ἑαλωκυίας, ἧς παραχρῆμα
πάρεστιν τὸ πτῶμα·

καὶ τὸ πτῶμα αὐτῆς ἔσται ὡς σύντριμμα ¹ ἀγγίου ὀστρακίνου, ἐκ κεραμίου λεπτόν, ὥστε μὴ εὑρεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς
ὄστρακον ἐν ᾧ πῦρ ἀρεῖς, καὶ ἐν ᾦ ἀποσυρεῖς ὕδωρ μικρόν.

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ὃ ἅγιος Ἰσραήλ Ὅταν ἀποστραφεὶς στενάξῃς, τότε σωθήσῃ καὶ γνώσῃ ποῦ ἦσθα· ὅτε ἐπεποίθεις ἐπὶ τοῖς ματαίοις,
ματαία ἡ ἰσχὺς ὑμῶν ἐγενήθη.

καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλεσθε ἀκούειν, ἀλλὰ εἴπατε Ἐφ’ ἵπποις φευξόμεθα· διὰ τοῦτο φεύξεσθε· καὶ εἴπατε Ἐπὶ κούφοις ἀναβάται ἐσόμεθα· διὸ, τοῦτο κοῦφοι ἔσονται οἱ διώκοντες
ὑμᾶς.

καὶ διὰ φωνὴν ἐνὸς φεύξονται χίλιοι, καὶ διὰ φωνὴν πέντε φεύξονται πολλοί, ἕως ἄν καταλειφθῆτε ὡς ἱστὸς ἐπ’ ὅρους, καὶ ὡς
σημαίαν φέρων ἐπὶ βουνοῦ.

καὶ πάλιν μενεῖ ὃ θεὸς τοῦ οἱκτεικριτὴς ρῆσαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ὑψωθήσεται τοῦ ἐλεῆσαι ὑμᾶς, διότι Κύριος ὃ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν· καὶ ποῦ καταλείψετε τὴν δόξαν
ὑμῶν; μακάριοι πάντες οἱ ἐμμένοντες ἐν αὐτῷ.

Διότι λαὸς ἅγιος ἐν Σιὼν οἰκήσει· καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ κλαυθμῷ ἔκλαυσεν Ἐλέησόν με· καὶ ἐλεήσει τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κραυγῆς σου· ἡνίκα εἶδεν, ἐπήκουσέν σου.

καὶ δώσει Κύριος ὑμῖν ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ στενόν, καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ ἐγγίσωσίν σοι οἱ πλανῶντές σε· ὅτι οἶ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται
τοὺς πλανῶντάς σε,

καὶ τὰ ὦτά σου ἀκούσονται τοὺς λόγους τῶν ὀπίσω σε πλανησάντων, οἱ λήγοντες Αὕτη ἡ ὁδός, πορευθῶμεν ἐν
αὐτῇ εἴτε δεξιὰ εἴτε ἀριστερά.

καὶ ἐξαρεῖς τὰ εἴδωλα τὸ. περιηργυρωμένα καὶ τὰ περικεχρυσωμένα, λεπτὰ ποιήσεις, καὶ λικμήσεις ὡς
ὕδωρ ἀποκαθημένης, καὶ ὡς κόπρον ὤσεις αὐτά.

τότε ἔσται ὃ ὑετὸς τῷ σπέρματι τῆς γῆς σου, καὶ ὁ ἄρτος τοῦ γενήματος τῆς γῆς σου ἔσται πλησμονὴ καὶ λιπαρός· καὶ βοσκηθήσεταί σου τὸ. κτήνη
Τῆ ἡμέρᾳ. ἐκείνῃ τόπον πίονα καὶ εὐρύχωρον,

οἱ ταῦροι ὑμῶν καὶ οἶ βόες οἶ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν γῆν φάγονται ἄχυρα ἀναπεποιημένα ²
ἐν κριθῇ λελικμημένα.

καὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ παντὸς ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ παντὸς βουνοῦ μετεώρου ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ. ἐκείνῃ,
ὅταν ἀπόλωνται πολλοί, καὶ ὅταν πέσωσιν πύργοι.

καί ἔσται τὸ φῶς τῆς σελήνης ὡς τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἡλίου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἡλίου ἔσται ἑπταπλάσιον, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅταν ἰάσηται Κύριος τὸ σύντριμμα τοῦ
λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὀδύνην τῆς πληγῆς σου ἰάσεται.

Ἰδοὺ τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου διὰ, χρόνου ἔρχεται πολλοῦ, καιόμενος ὁ θυμός· μετὰ δόξης τὸ λόγιον τῶν χειλέων αὐτοῦ, τὸ λόγιον ὀργῆς πλῆρες,
καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θυμοῦ ὡς πῦρ ἔδεται.

καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ὡς ὕδωρ ἐν φάραγγι σῦρον ἥξει ἕως τοῦ τραχήλου, καὶ διαιρεθήσεται τοῦ ἔθνη ταράξαι ἐπὶ πλανήσει ματαίᾳ, καὶ διώξεται αὐτοὺς πλάνησις
ματαία, καὶ λήμψεται αὐτοὺς κατὰ, πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.

μὴ διὰ. παντὸς δεῖ ὑμᾶς εὐφραίνεσθαι, καὶ εἰσπορεύεσθαι εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου διὰ, παντὸς ὡσεὶ ἑορτάζοντας, καὶ ὡσεὶ εὐφραινομένους εἰσελθεῖν μετὰ αὐλοῦ εἷς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου πρὸς τόν θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ;

καὶ ἀκουστὴν ποιήσει ὁ θεὸς τὴν δόξαν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ δεῖξαι μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς καὶ φλογὸς κατεσθιούσης, κεραυνώσει βιαίως, καὶ ὡς ὕδωρ καὶ χάλαζα συνκαταφερομένη
βία.

διὰ γὰρ τὴν φωνὴν Κυρίου ἡττηθήσονται οἱ
Ἀσσύριοι τῇ πληγῇ, ᾗ ἄν πατάξῃ αὐτούς.

καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν, ὅθεν ἦν αὐτῷ ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς βοηθείας, ἐφ᾿ ᾗ αὐτὸς ἐπεποίθει· αὐτοὶ μετὰ αὐλῶν καὶ κιθάρας πολεμήσουσιν αὐτὸν ἐκ μεταβολῆς.

οὐ γὰρ σὺ πρὸ ἡμερῶν ἀπατηθήσῃ· μὴ καὶ <σοὶ> ἡτοιμάσθη βασιλεύειν, φάραγγα βαθεῖαν, ξύλα κείμενα, πῦρ καὶ ξύλα πολλά, ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου ὡς φάραγξ ὑπὸ θείου καιομένη.

Οὐαὶ τέκνα τέκνα ἀποστάται, λέγει Κύριος· ἐποιήσατε βουλὴν οὐ δι᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ συνθήκας οὐ διὰ τοῦ πνεύματός μου, προσθεῖναι ἀμαρτὰςς ἐφ᾿ ἁμαρτίας·

οἱ πορευόμενοι καταβῆναι¶ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, §ἐμέ δὲ ¹ οὐκ ἐπερώτησαν, τοῦ βοηθηθῆναι ὑπὸ Φαραὼ καὶ σκεπασθῆναι ὑπὸ Αἰγυπτίων.

ἔσται γὰρ ὑμῖν σκέπη Φαραὼ εἰς αἰσχύνην, καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον ὄνειδος.

ὅτι εἰσὶν ἐν Γάνει ἀργηγοὶ ἄγγελοι πονηροί

μάτην κοπιὰσουσιν πρὸς λαὸν ὧς οὐκ ὼφελήσει αὐτοὺς εἰς βοήθειαν ἀλλὰ εἰς αἰσχύνην καὶ ὄνειδος.

Ἡ δρασις τῶν τετραπόδων τῶν ἐν τῆ ἐρήμῳ.

Ἐν τῇ θλίψει καὶ τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ λέων καὶ σκύμνος λέοντος, ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἀσ πίδες καὶ ἔκγονα ἀσπίδων, οἵ ἔφερον ἐπ ὄνων καὶ καμήλων τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν πρὸς ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ὠφελήσει αὐτούς.

Αἰγύπτιοι ματαια καὶ κενὰ ὡφελήσουσιν ὑμᾶς· ἀπάγγειλον αὐτοῖς ὅτι ματαία ἡ παράκλησις ὑμῶν αὕτη.

νῦν οὖν καθίσας γράψον ἐπὶ πυξίου ταῦτα καὶ εἰς βιβλίον, ὅτι ἔσται εἰς ἡμέρας ταῦτα καρῷ καὶ ἕως εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

ὅτι λαὸς ἀπειθὴς ἐστιν, υἱοὶ ψευδεῖς οἴ οὐκ ἠβούλοντο ἀκούειν τὸν νόμον τοῦ θεοῦ,

οἱ λέγοντες τοῖς προφήταις Μὴ ἀναγγέλλετε ἡμίν, καὶ τοῖς τὰ ὁράματα ὁρῶσιν Μὴ λαλεῖτε ἡμῖν, ἀλλὰ ἡμῖν λαλεῖτε καὶ ἀναγγέλλετε ἡμῖν ἑτέραν πλάνησιν,

καὶ ἀποστρέψατε ²⁴ ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ ταύτης· ἀφέλετε ἀφʼ ἡμῶν τὸν τρίβον τοῦτον, καὶ ἀφέλετε ἀφʼ ἡμῶν τὸ λόγιον τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ.

δια τοῦτο τάδε λέγει ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ Ὅτι ἠπειθὴσατε τοῖς λόγοις τούτοις καὶ ἠλπίσατε ἐπὶ ψεύδει, καὶ ὅτι ἐγογγυσας καὶ πεποιθὼς ἐγένου ἐπὶ τῷ λογῳ τούτῳ,

διὰ τοῦτο ἔσται ὑμῖν ἡ ἀμαρτία αὕτη ὡς τεῖχος πίπτον παραχρῆμα πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς ἑαλωκυίας, ἦς παραχρῆμα πάρεστιν τὸ πτῶμα·

καὶ τὸ πτῶμα αὐτῆς ἔσται ὡς σύντριμμα ἀγγίου ὀστρακίνου, εκ κεραμίου λεπτὰ ὥστε μὴ είρεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὄστρακον ἐν ᾧ πῦρ ἀρεῖς. καὶ ἐν ᾧ ἀποσυριεῖς ὕδωρ μικρόν.

οὕτω λέγει κύριος Κύριος ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ Ὅταν ἀποστραφεὶς στενάξῃς, τότε σωθήσῃ καὶ γνώσῃ ποῦ ἦσθα· ὅτε ἐπεποίθεις ἐπὶ τοῖς ματαίοις, ματαία ἡ ἰσχὺς ὑμῶν ἐγενήθη. καὶ οὐκ ἠβούλεσθε ἀκούειν,

ὰλλ᾿ εἴπατε Ἐφʼ ἵππων φευξόμεθα· διὰ τοῦτο φεύξεσθε· καὶ ἐπὶ κούφοις ἀναβάταις ἐσόμεθα· διὰ τοῦτο κοῦφοι ἔσονται οἱ διώκοντες ὑμᾶς.

χίλιοι διὰ φωνὴν ἑνὸς ⁵ φεύξονται, καὶ διὰ φωνὴν πέντε φεύξονται πολλοί, ἕως ἂν καταλειφθῆτε ὡς ἱστὸς ἐπʼ ὄρους, καὶ ὡς σημαίαν φέρων ἐπὶ βουνοῦ.

καὶ πὰλιν μενεῖ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οἰκτειρῆσαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ὑψωθησεται τοῦ ἐλεῆσαι ὑμᾶς, διότι κριτής Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν· μακάριοι οἱ ἐμμένοντες ἐπʼ αὐτῷ.

Διότι λαὸς ἅγιος ἐν Σειὼν οἰκήσει· καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ κλαυθμῷ ἔκλαυσεν Ἐλέησόν με· ἐλεήσει σε, τὴν φωνὴν ⁶⁷ τῆς κραυγῆς σου ἡνίκα εἰδεν, ἐπήκουσέν σου.

καὶ δώσει Κύριος ⁸ ὑμῖν ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ στενόν, καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ ἐγγίσωσίν σοι οἱ πλανῶντές σε· ὅτι οἱ ἀφθαλμοι σου ὄψονται τοὺς πλανῶντάς σε,

καὶ τὰ ὠτα σου ἀκουσονται τοὺς λόγους τῶν ὀπίσω σε πλανησάντων, οἱ λέγοντες Αὔτη ή ὁδός, πορευθῶμεν ἐν αὐτῇ εἶτε δεξιὰ εἶτε ἀριστερά.

καὶ μιανεῖς τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ περιηργυρωμένα κιὶ περικε χρυσωμένα. λεπτὰ ποιήσεις καὶ λικμησεις ὡς ὕδωρ ἀποκαθημένης, καὶ ὡς κόπρον ὤσεις αὐτά.

τότε ἔσται ὁ ὑετὸς τῷ σπέρματι τῆς γῆς σου, καὶ ὁ ἄρτος τοῦ γενηματος τῆς γῆς σου ἔσται πλησμονὴ καὶ λιπαρὸς· καἰ βοσκηθησεται σου τὰ κτήνη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τόπον πίονα καὶ εὐρύΧωρον,

οἱ ταῦροι ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ βόες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν γῆν ἄχυρα ἀναπεποιημένα φάγονται ἐν κριθῆ λελικμημένῃ.

καὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ παντὸς ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ παντὸς βουνοῦ μετεώρου ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅταν ἀπόλωνται πολλοί, ὅταν πέσωσιν πύργοι.

καὶ ἔσται τὸ φῶς τῆς σελήνης ὡς τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἡλίου, καὶ τὸ φῶς τοῦ ἡλίου ἔσται ἑπταπλάσιον, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὅταν ἰάσηται Κύριος τὸ σύντριμμα τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὀδύνην τῆς πληγῆς σοι ἰάσεται.

Ἰδοὺ τὸ ἄνομα Κυρίου ἔρχεται διὰ χρόνου, καιόμενος θυμός· μετὰ δόξης τὸ λόγιον τῶν χειλέων αὐτοῦ, τὸ λόγιον ὀργῆς πλῆρες, καὶ ἡ ὀργή τοῦ θυμοῦ ὡς πῦρ ἔδεται·

καὶ τὼ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ὡς ὕδω ἐν φάραγγι σῦρον ἤξει ἕως τοῦ τραχήλου, καὶ διαιρεθήσεται τοῦ ταράξαι ἔθνη ἐπὶ πλανήσει ματαίᾳ, καὶ διώξεται αὐτοὺς πλάνησις καὶ λήμψεται αὐτοὺς κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν.

μὴ διὰ παντὸς δεὶ ὑμάς εὐφραίνεσθαι, καὶ εἰς πορεύεσθαι εἰς τὰ ἅγιά μου διὰ παντὸς ὡσεὶ ἑορτάζοντας, καὶ ὡσεὶ εὐφραινομένους εἰσελθεῖν μετὰ αὐτλοῦ εἰς ⁹¹¹ τὸ ὄρος Κυρίου πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ;

καὶ ἀκουστὴν ποιήσει Κύριος τὴν δόξαν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ δεῖξαι μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς καὶ φλογὸς κατεσθιούσης, κεραυνώσει βιαίῳ, καὶ ὡς ὕδωρ καὶ χάλαζα συνκαταφερομὲν βία.

διὰ γὰρ τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου ἡττηθήσονται Ἀσσύριοι, τῇ πληγη ἧ ἂν πατάξῃ αὐτούς.

καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν, ὅθεν ἣν αὐτῶν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς βοηθείας, ἐφʼ ἦ αὐτὸς πεποίθει· αὐτοὶ μετὰ τυμπάνων καὶ κιθάρας πολεμήσουσιν αὐτὸν ἐκ μεταβολῆς.

σὺ γὰρ πρὸ ἡμερῶν ἀπαιτηθήσῃ· μὴ καὶ σοὶ βασιλεύειν ἡτοιμάσθη, φάραγγα βαθεῖαν, ξύλα κείμενα, πῦρ καὶ ξύλα πολλά ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου ὡς φάραγξ ὑπὸ θείου καιομένη.

Translations (1)

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 30 focus

Woe to the rebellious children, says Yahweh, who take counsel, but not of me; and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes.

They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them].

For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still.

Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of Yahweh;

who tell the seers, Don’t see; and to the prophets, Don’t prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Why thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;

therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

He shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a broken piece with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. You would not:

but you said, No, for we will flee on horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride on the swift; therefore shall those who pursue you be swift.

One thousand [shall flee] at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall you flee: until you be left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

Therefore will Yahweh wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy on you: for Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more; he will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear, he will answer you.

Though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be hidden anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers;

and your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it; when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.

You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as an unclean thing; you shall tell it, Get you hence.

He will give the rain for your seed, with which you shall sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures;

the oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

There shall be on every lofty mountain, and on every high hill, brooks [and] streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.

Behold, the name of Yahweh comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;

and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causes to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples.

You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel.

Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.

For through the voice of Yahweh shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he strike [him].

Every stroke of the appointed staff, which Yahweh shall lay on him, shall be with [the sound of] tambourines and harps; and in battles with the brandishing [of his arm] will he fight with them.

For a Topheth is prepared of old; yes, for the king it is made ready; he has made it deep and large; the pile of it is fire and much wood; the breath of Yahweh, like a stream of sulfur, does kindle it.
