¹ Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

² Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

³ For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

⁵ They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

⁷ Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

⁸ But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

⁹ Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

¹⁰ But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

¹¹ Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

¹² He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

¹³ When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

¹⁴ Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

¹⁸ For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

¹⁹ Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

²⁰ My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

²¹ For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

²² Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

²³ O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

²⁴ O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

²⁵ Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

¹ Hear ^H8085 ye the word ^H1697 which the LORD ^H3068 speaketh ^H1696 unto you, O house ^H1004 of Israel: ^H3478

² Thus saith ^H559 the LORD, ^H3068 Learn ^H3925 not the way ^H1870 of the heathen, ^H1471 and be not dismayed ^H2865 at the signs ^H226 of heaven; ^H8064 for the heathen ^H1471 are dismayed ^H2865 at them. ^H1992

³ For the customs ^H2708 of the people ^H5971 are vain: ^H1892 for one cutteth ^H3772 a tree ^H6086 out of the forest, ^H3293 the work ^H4639 of the hands ^H3027 of the workman, ^H2796 with the axe. ^H4621

⁴ They deck ^H3302 it with silver ^H3701 and with gold; ^H2091 they fasten ^H2388 it with nails ^H4548 and with hammers, ^H4717 that it move ^H6328 not.

⁵ They are upright ^H4749 as the palm tree, ^H8560 but speak ^H1696 not: they must needs ^H5375 be borne, ^H5375 because they cannot go. ^H6805 Be not afraid ^H3372 of them; for they cannot do evil, ^H7489 neither also is it in them to do good. ^H3190

⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; ^H3068 thou art great, ^H1419 and thy name ^H8034 is great ^H1419 in might. ^H1369

⁷ Who would not fear ^H3372 thee, O King ^H4428 of nations? ^H1471 for to thee doth it appertain: ^H2969 forasmuch as among all the wise ^H2450 men of the nations, ^H1471 and in all their kingdoms, ^H4438 there is none like unto thee.

⁸ But they are altogether ^H259 brutish ^H1197 and foolish: ^H3688 the stock ^H6086 is a doctrine ^H4148 of vanities. ^H1892

⁹ Silver ^H3701 spread into plates ^H7554 is brought ^H935 from Tarshish, ^H8659 and gold ^H2091 from Uphaz, ^H210 the work ^H4639 of the workman, ^H2796 and of the hands ^H3027 of the founder: ^H6884 blue ^H8504 and purple ^H713 is their clothing: ^H3830 they are all the work ^H4639 of cunning ^H2450 men.

¹⁰ But the LORD ^H3068 is the true ^H571 God, ^H430 he is the living ^H2416 God, ^H430 and an everlasting ^H5769 king: ^H4428 at his wrath ^H7110 the earth ^H776 shall tremble, ^H7493 and the nations ^H1471 shall not be able to abide ^H3557 his indignation. ^H2195

¹¹ Thus ^H1836 shall ye say ^H560 unto them, The gods ^H426 that have not ^H3809 made ^H5648 the heavens ^H8065 and the earth, ^H778 even they shall perish ^H7 from the earth, ^H772 and from under ^H8460 these ^H429 heavens. ^H8065

¹² He hath made ^H6213 the earth ^H776 by his power, ^H3581 he hath established ^H3559 the world ^H8398 by his wisdom, ^H2451 and hath stretched out ^H5186 the heavens ^H8064 by his discretion. ^H8394

¹³ When he uttereth ^H5414 his voice, ^H6963 there is a multitude ^H1995 of waters ^H4325 in the heavens, ^H8064 and he causeth the vapours ^H5387 to ascend ^H5927 from the ends ^H7097 of the earth; ^H776 he maketh ^H6213 lightnings ^H1300 with rain, ^H4306 and bringeth forth ^H3318 the wind ^H7307 out of his treasures. ^H214

¹⁴ Every man ^H120 is brutish ^H1197 in his knowledge: ^H1847 every founder ^H6884 is confounded ^H3001 by the graven image: ^H6459 for his molten image ^H5262 is falsehood, ^H8267 and there is no breath ^H7307 in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, ^H1892 and the work ^H4639 of errors: ^H8595 in the time ^H6256 of their visitation ^H6486 they shall perish. ^H6

¹⁶ The portion ^H2506 of Jacob ^H3290 is not like them: for he is the former ^H3335 of all things; and Israel ^H3478 is the rod ^H7626 of his inheritance: ^H5159 The LORD ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 is his name. ^H8034

¹⁷ Gather up ^H622 thy wares ^H3666 out of the land, ^H776 O inhabitant ^H3427 of the fortress. ^H4692

¹⁸ For thus saith ^H559 the LORD, ^H3068 Behold, I will sling ^H7049 out the inhabitants ^H3427 of the land ^H776 at this once, ^H6471 and will distress ^H6887 them, that they may find ^H4672 it so.

¹⁹ Woe ^H188 is me for my hurt! ^H7667 my wound ^H4347 is grievous: ^H2470 but I said, ^H559 Truly ^H389 this is a grief, ^H2483 and I must bear ^H5375 it.

²⁰ My tabernacle ^H168 is spoiled, ^H7703 and all my cords ^H4340 are broken: ^H5423 my children ^H1121 are gone forth ^H3318 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth ^H5186 my tent ^H168 any more, and to set up ^H6965 my curtains. ^H3407

²¹ For the pastors ^H7462 are become brutish, ^H1197 and have not sought ^H1875 the LORD: ^H3068 therefore they shall not prosper, ^H7919 and all their flocks ^H4830 shall be scattered. ^H6327

²² Behold, the noise ^H6963 of the bruit ^H8052 is come, ^H935 and a great ^H1419 commotion ^H7494 out of the north ^H6828 country, ^H776 to make ^H7760 the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063 desolate, ^H8077 and a den ^H4583 of dragons. ^H8577

²³ O LORD, ^H3068 I know ^H3045 that the way ^H1870 of man ^H120 is not in himself: it is not in man ^H376 that walketh ^H1980 to direct ^H3559 his steps. ^H6806

²⁴ O LORD, ^H3068 correct ^H3256 me, but with judgment; ^H4941 not in thine anger, ^H639 lest thou bring me to nothing. ^H4591

²⁵ Pour out ^H8210 thy fury ^H2534 upon the heathen ^H1471 that know ^H3045 thee not, and upon the families ^H4940 that call ^H7121 not on thy name: ^H8034 for they have eaten up ^H398 Jacob, ^H3290 and devoured ^H398 him, and consumed ^H3615 him, and have made his habitation ^H5116 desolate. ^H8074

¹ Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

³ For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

⁵ They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.

⁶ There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

⁷ Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee.

⁸ But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

⁹ There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men.

¹⁰ But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

¹¹ Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹² He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:

¹³ when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

¹⁴ Every man is become brutish `and is' without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.

¹⁸ For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel `it'.

¹⁹ Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is `my' grief, and I must bear it.

²⁰ My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

²¹ For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

²² The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.

²³ O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

²⁴ O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure: not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

²⁵ Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

---

¹ Hear ye the word, O house of Israel, That Jehovah hath spoken for you.

² Thus said Jehovah: Unto the way of the nations accustom not yourselves, And by the signs of the heavens be not affrighted, For the nations are affrighted by them.

³ For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,

⁴ With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and with hammers they fix it, And it doth not stumble.

⁵ As a palm they `are' stiff, and they speak not, They are surely borne, for they step not, Be not afraid of them, for they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is not in them.

⁶ Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great `art' Thou, and great Thy name in might.

⁷ Who doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom there is none like Thee.

⁸ And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities `is' the tree itself.

⁹ Spread-out silver from Tarshish is brought, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artizan, and of the hands of a refiner, Blue and purple `is' their clothing, Work of the skilful -- all of them.

¹⁰ And Jehovah `is' a God of truth, He `is' a living God, and a king age-during, From His wrath shake doth the earth, And nations endure not His indignation.

¹¹ Thus do ye say to them, The gods Who the heavens and earth have not made, They do perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.

¹² The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

¹³ At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters `is' in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth out wind from His treasures.

¹⁴ Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every refiner by a graven image, For false `is' his molten image. And there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ Vanity `are' they, work of erring ones, In the time of their inspection they perish.

¹⁶ Not like these `is' the Portion of Jacob, For framer of all things `is' He, And Israel `is' the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts `is' His name.

¹⁷ Gather from the land thy merchandise, O dweller in the bulwark,

¹⁸ For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.

¹⁹ Wo to me for my breaking, Grievious hath been my smiting, And I said, Only, this `is' my sickness, and I bear it.

²⁰ My tent hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out any more my tent, And raising up my curtains.

²¹ For the shepherds have become brutish, And Jehovah they have not sought, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.

²² A voice of a report, lo, it hath come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.

²³ I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man `is' his way, Not of man the going and establishing of his step.

²⁴ Chastise me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine anger, lest Thou make me small.

²⁵ Pour out Thy fury on the nations that have not known Thee, And on the families that have not called in Thy name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Yea, they have eaten him up, yea, they consume him, And his habitation they have made desolate!

¹ Hear the word that Jehovah speaketh unto you, house of Israel.

² Thus saith Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.

³ For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;

⁴ they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

⁵ They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

⁶ There is none like unto thee, Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

⁷ Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? For to thee doth it appertain; for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

⁸ But they are one and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanities is a stock.

⁹ Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artizan and of the hands of the founder; blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of skilful [men].

¹⁰ But Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of eternity. At his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation.

¹¹ Thus shall ye say unto them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹² He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.

¹³ When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

¹⁴ Every man is become brutish, bereft of knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all [things], and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up thy baggage out of the land, O inhabitress of the fortress.

¹⁸ For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will this time sling out the inhabitants of the land, and will distress them, that they may be found.

¹⁹ Woe is me, for my wound! My stroke is hard to heal, and I had said, Yea, this is [my] grief, and I will bear it.

²⁰ My tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth from me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

²¹ For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah; therefore have they not acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.

²² The voice of a rumour! Behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.

²³ I know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps.

²⁴ Jehovah, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

²⁵ Pour out thy fury upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, yea, they have eaten him up and consumed him, and have laid waste his dwelling-place.

¹ Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, house of Israel!

² Thus says Yahweh, "Don't learn the way of the nations, and don't be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.

³ For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.

⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.

⁵ They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don't speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."

⁶ There is none like you, Yahweh; you are great, and your name is great in might.

⁷ Who should not fear you, King of the nations? for to you does it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.

⁸ But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

¹¹ Thus shall you say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.

¹² He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:

¹³ when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.

¹⁴ Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Hosts is his name.

¹⁷ Gather up your wares out of the land, you who abide in the siege.

¹⁸ For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel [it].

¹⁹ Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is [my] grief, and I must bear it.

²² The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.

²³ Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

²⁴ Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

²⁵ Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you, and on the families that don't call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.

¹ Give ear to the word which the Lord says to you, O people of Israel:

² This is what the Lord has said: Do not go in the way of the nations; have no fear of the signs of heaven, for the nations go in fear of them.

³ For that which is feared by the people is foolish: it is the work of the hands of the workman; for a tree is cut down by him out of the woods with his axe.

⁴ They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.

⁵ It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.

⁶ There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.

⁷ Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

⁸ But they are together like beasts and foolish: the teaching of false gods is wood.

⁹ Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men.

¹⁰ But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.

¹¹ This is what you are to say to them: The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth will be cut off from the earth and from under the heavens.

¹² He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out.

¹³ At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

¹⁴ Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.

¹⁶ The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

¹⁷ Get your goods together and go out of the land, O you who are shut up in the walled town.

¹⁸ For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.

¹⁹ Sorrow is mine for I am wounded! my wound may not be made well; and I said, Cruel is my disease, I may not be free from it.

²⁰ My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.

²¹ For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.

²² News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.

²³ O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps.

²⁴ O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.

²⁵ Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.
