6 And G1161 ye shall G3195 hear G191 of wars G4171 and G2532 rumours G189 of wars: G4171 see G3708 that ye be G2360 not G3361 troubled: G2360 for G1063 all G3956 these things must G1163 come to pass, G1096 but G235 the end G5056 is G2076 not yet. G3768
And G1161 when G3752 ye shall hear G191 of wars G4171 and G2532 rumours G189 of wars, G4171 be ye G2360 not G3361 troubled: G2360 for G1063 such things must G1163 needs be; G1096 but G235 the end G5056 shall not be yet. G3768 For G1063 nation G1484 shall rise G1453 against G1909 nation, G1484 and G2532 kingdom G932 against G1909 kingdom: G932 and G2532 there shall be G2071 earthquakes G4578 in divers G2596 places, G5117 and G2532 there shall be G2071 famines G3042 and G2532 troubles: G5016 these G5023 are the beginnings G746 of sorrows. G5604
Say H559 ye not, A confederacy, H7195 to all them to whom this people H5971 shall say, H559 A confederacy; H7195 neither fear H3372 ye their fear, H4172 nor be afraid. H6206 Sanctify H6942 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 himself; and let him be your fear, H4172 and let him be your dread. H6206 And he shall be for a sanctuary; H4720 but for a stone H68 of stumbling H5063 and for a rock H6697 of offence H4383 to both H8147 the houses H1004 of Israel, H3478 for a gin H6341 and for a snare H4170 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389
[[To the chief Musician H5329 for the sons H1121 of Korah, H7141 A Song H7892 upon Alamoth.]] H5961 God H430 is our refuge H4268 and strength, H5797 a very H3966 present H4672 help H5833 in trouble. H6869 Therefore will not we fear, H3372 though the earth H776 be removed, H4171 and though the mountains H2022 be carried H4131 into the midst H3820 of the sea; H3220 Though the waters H4325 thereof roar H1993 and be troubled, H2560 though the mountains H2022 shake H7493 with the swelling H1346 thereof. Selah. H5542
But G235 and if G1499 ye suffer G3958 for G1223 righteousness' sake, G1343 happy G3107 are ye: and G1161 be G5399 not G3361 afraid G5399 of their G846 terror, G5401 neither G3366 be troubled; G5015 But G1161 sanctify G37 the Lord G2962 God G2316 in G1722 your G5216 hearts: G2588 and G1161 be ready G2092 always G104 to G4314 give an answer G627 to every man G3956 that asketh G154 you G5209 a reason G3056 of G4012 the hope G1680 that is in G1722 you G5213 with G3326 meekness G4240 and G2532 fear: G5401
Son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy, H5012 and say, H559 Thus saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Say, H559 A sword, H2719 a sword H2719 is sharpened, H2300 and also furbished: H4803 It is sharpened H2300 to make a sore H2874 slaughter; H2873 it is furbished H4178 that it may glitter: H1300 should H176 we then make mirth? H7797 it contemneth H3988 the rod H7626 of my son, H1121 as every tree. H6086 And he hath given H5414 it to be furbished, H4803 that it may be handled: H3709 H8610 this sword H2719 is sharpened, H2300 and it is furbished, H4178 to give H5414 it into the hand H3027 of the slayer. H2026 Cry H2199 and howl, H3213 son H1121 of man: H120 for it shall be upon my people, H5971 it shall be upon all the princes H5387 of Israel: H3478 terrors H4048 by reason of H413 the sword H2719 shall be upon my people: H5971 smite H5606 therefore upon thy thigh. H3409 Because it is a trial, H974 and what if the sword contemn H3988 even the rod? H7626 it shall be no more, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069 Thou therefore, son H1121 of man, H120 prophesy, H5012 and smite H5221 thine hands H3709 H3709 together, H5221 and let the sword H2719 be doubled H3717 the third H7992 time, the sword H2719 of the slain: H2491 it is the sword H2719 of the great H1419 men that are slain, H2491 which entereth into their privy chambers. H2314 I have set H5414 the point H19 of the sword H2719 against all their gates, H8179 that their heart H3820 may faint, H4127 and their ruins H4383 be multiplied: H7235 ah! H253 it is made H6213 bright, H1300 it is wrapped up H4593 for the slaughter. H2874
Or if I bring H935 a sword H2719 upon that land, H776 and say, H559 Sword, H2719 go through H5674 the land; H776 so that I cut off H3772 man H120 and beast H929 from it: Though these three H7969 men H582 were in it, H8432 as I live, H2416 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 they shall deliver H5337 neither sons H1121 nor daughters, H1323 but they only shall be delivered H5337 themselves. Or if I send H7971 a pestilence H1698 into that land, H776 and pour out H8210 my fury H2534 upon it in blood, H1818 to cut off H3772 from it man H120 and beast: H929 Though Noah, H5146 Daniel, H1840 and Job, H347 were in it, H8432 as I live, H2416 saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 they shall deliver H5337 neither son H1121 nor H518 daughter; H1323 they shall but deliver H5337 their own souls H5315 by their righteousness. H6666 For thus saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 How much more when I send H7971 my four H702 sore H7451 judgments H8201 upon Jerusalem, H3389 the sword, H2719 and the famine, H7458 and the noisome H7451 beast, H2416 and the pestilence, H1698 to cut off H3772 from it man H120 and beast? H929
Wherefore I will bring H935 the worst H7451 of the heathen, H1471 and they shall possess H3423 their houses: H1004 I will also make the pomp H1347 of the strong H5794 to cease; H7673 and their holy places H6942 shall be defiled. H2490 H5157 Destruction H7089 cometh; H935 and they shall seek H1245 peace, H7965 and there shall be none. Mischief H1943 shall come H935 upon mischief, H1943 and rumour H8052 shall be upon rumour; H8052 then shall they seek H1245 a vision H2377 of the prophet; H5030 but the law H8451 shall perish H6 from the priest, H3548 and counsel H6098 from the ancients. H2205
[[A Psalm of David.]] H1732 The LORD H3068 is my light H216 and my salvation; H3468 whom shall I fear? H3372 the LORD H3068 is the strength H4581 of my life; H2416 of whom shall I be afraid? H6342 When the wicked, H7489 even mine enemies H6862 and my foes, H341 came H7126 upon me to eat up H398 my flesh, H1320 they stumbled H3782 and fell. H5307 Though an host H4264 should encamp H2583 against me, my heart H3820 shall not fear: H3372 though war H4421 should rise H6965 against me, in this will I be confident. H982
Saying, G3004 Fear G5399 not, G3361 Paul; G3972 thou G4571 must G1163 be brought before G3936 Caesar: G2541 and, G2532 lo, G2400 God G2316 hath given G5483 thee G4671 all G3956 them that sail G4126 with G3326 thee. G4675 Wherefore, G1352 sirs, G435 be of good cheer: G2114 for G1063 I believe G4100 God, G2316 that G3754 it G3779 shall be G2071 even G2596 G3739 as G5158 it was told G2980 me. G3427 Howbeit G1161 we G2248 must G1163 be cast G1601 upon G1519 a certain G5100 island. G3520
When I heard, H8085 my belly H990 trembled; H7264 my lips H8193 quivered H6750 at the voice: H6963 rottenness H7538 entered H935 into my bones, H6106 and I trembled H7264 in myself, that I might rest H5117 in the day H3117 of trouble: H6869 when he cometh up H5927 unto the people, H5971 he will invade them with his troops. H1464 Although the fig tree H8384 shall not blossom, H6524 neither shall fruit H2981 be in the vines; H1612 the labour H4639 of the olive H2132 shall fail, H3584 and the fields H7709 shall yield H6213 no meat; H400 the flock H6629 shall be cut off H1504 from the fold, H4356 and there shall be no herd H1241 in the stalls: H7517 Yet I will rejoice H5937 in the LORD, H3068 I will joy H1523 in the God H430 of my salvation. H3468
Also I in the first H259 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the Mede, H4075 even I, stood H5977 to confirm H2388 and to strengthen H4581 him. And now will I shew H5046 thee the truth. H571 Behold, there shall stand up H5975 yet three H7969 kings H4428 in Persia; H6539 and the fourth H7243 shall be far H6239 richer H6238 than they all: H1419 and by his strength H2393 through his riches H6239 he shall stir up H5782 all against the realm H4438 of Grecia. H3120 And a mighty H1368 king H4428 shall stand up, H5975 that shall rule H4910 with great H7227 dominion, H4474 and do H6213 according to his will. H7522 And when he shall stand up, H5975 his kingdom H4438 shall be broken, H7665 and shall be divided H2673 toward the four H702 winds H7307 of heaven; H8064 and not to his posterity, H319 nor according to his dominion H4915 which he ruled: H4910 for his kingdom H4438 shall be plucked up, H5428 even for others H312 beside those. And the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be strong, H2388 and one of his princes; H8269 and he shall be strong H2388 above him, and have dominion; H4910 his dominion H4475 shall be a great H7227 dominion. H4474 And in the end H7093 of years H8141 they shall join themselves together; H2266 for the king's H4428 daughter H1323 of the south H5045 shall come H935 to the king H4428 of the north H6828 to make H6213 an agreement: H4339 but she shall not retain H6113 the power H3581 of the arm; H2220 neither shall he stand, H5975 nor his arm: H2220 but she shall be given up, H5414 and they that brought H935 her, and he that begat H3205 her, and he that strengthened H2388 her in these times. H6256 But out of a branch H5342 of her roots H8328 shall one stand up H5975 in his estate, H3653 which shall come H935 with an army, H2428 and shall enter H935 into the fortress H4581 of the king H4428 of the north, H6828 and shall deal H6213 against them, and shall prevail: H2388 And shall also carry H935 captives H7628 into Egypt H4714 their gods, H430 with their princes, H5257 and with their precious H2532 vessels H3627 of silver H3701 and of gold; H2091 and he shall continue H5975 more years H8141 than the king H4428 of the north. H6828 So the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall come H935 into his kingdom, H4438 and shall return H7725 into his own land. H127 But his sons H1121 shall be stirred up, H1624 and shall assemble H622 a multitude H1995 of great H7227 forces: H2428 and one shall certainly H935 come, H935 and overflow, H7857 and pass through: H5674 then shall he return, H7725 and be stirred up, H1624 even to his fortress. H4581 And the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be moved with choler, H4843 and shall come forth H3318 and fight H3898 with him, even with the king H4428 of the north: H6828 and he shall set forth H5975 a great H7227 multitude; H1995 but the multitude H1995 shall be given H5414 into his hand. H3027 And when he hath taken away H5375 the multitude, H1995 his heart H3824 shall be lifted up; H7311 H7311 and he shall cast down H5307 many ten thousands: H7239 but he shall not be strengthened H5810 by it. For the king H4428 of the north H6828 shall return, H7725 and shall set forth H5975 a multitude H1995 greater H7227 than the former, H7223 and shall certainly H935 come H935 after H7093 certain H6256 years H8141 with a great H1419 army H2428 and with much H7227 riches. H7399 And in those times H6256 there shall many H7227 stand up H5975 against the king H4428 of the south: H5045 also the robbers H1121 H6530 of thy people H5971 shall exalt H5375 themselves to establish H5975 the vision; H2377 but they shall fall. H3782 So the king H4428 of the north H6828 shall come, H935 and cast up H8210 a mount, H5550 and take H3920 the most fenced H4013 cities: H5892 and the arms H2220 of the south H5045 shall not withstand, H5975 neither his chosen H4005 people, H5971 neither shall there be any strength H3581 to withstand. H5975 But he that cometh H935 against him shall do H6213 according to his own will, H7522 and none shall stand H5975 before H6440 him: and he shall stand H5975 in the glorious H6643 land, H776 which by his hand H3027 shall be consumed. H3617 He shall also set H7760 his face H6440 to enter H935 with the strength H8633 of his whole kingdom, H4438 and upright ones H3477 with him; thus shall he do: H6213 and he shall give H5414 him the daughter H1323 of women, H802 corrupting H7843 her: but she shall not stand H5975 on his side, neither be for him. After this shall he turn H7760 H7725 his face H6440 unto the isles, H339 and shall take H3920 many: H7227 but a prince H7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproach H2781 offered by him to cease; H7673 without H1115 his own reproach H2781 he shall cause it to turn H7725 upon him. Then he shall turn H7725 his face H6440 toward the fort H4581 of his own land: H776 but he shall stumble H3782 and fall, H5307 and not be found. H4672 Then shall stand up H5975 in his estate H3653 a raiser H5674 of taxes H5065 in the glory H1925 of the kingdom: H4438 but within few H259 days H3117 he shall be destroyed, H7665 neither in anger, H639 nor in battle. H4421 And in his estate H3653 shall stand up H5975 a vile person, H959 to whom they shall not give H5414 the honour H1935 of the kingdom: H4438 but he shall come H935 in peaceably, H7962 and obtain H2388 the kingdom H4438 by flatteries. H2519 And with the arms H2220 of a flood H7858 shall they be overflown H7857 from before H6440 him, and shall be broken; H7665 yea, also the prince H5057 of the covenant. H1285 And after the league H2266 made with him he shall work H6213 deceitfully: H4820 for he shall come up, H5927 and shall become strong H6105 with a small H4592 people. H1471 He shall enter H935 peaceably H7962 even upon the fattest places H4924 of the province; H4082 and he shall do H6213 that which his fathers H1 have not done, H6213 nor his fathers' H1 fathers; H1 he shall scatter H967 among them the prey, H961 and spoil, H7998 and riches: H7399 yea, and he shall forecast H2803 his devices H4284 against the strong holds, H4013 even for a time. H6256 And he shall stir up H5782 his power H3581 and his courage H3824 against the king H4428 of the south H5045 with a great H1419 army; H2428 and the king H4428 of the south H5045 shall be stirred up H1624 to battle H4421 with a very H3966 great H1419 and mighty H6099 army; H2428 but he shall not stand: H5975 for they shall forecast H2803 devices H4284 against him. Yea, they that feed H398 of the portion of his meat H6598 shall destroy H7665 him, and his army H2428 shall overflow: H7857 and many H7227 shall fall H5307 down slain. H2491 And both H8147 these kings' H4428 hearts H3824 shall be to do mischief, H4827 H7451 and they shall speak H1696 lies H3577 at one H259 table; H7979 but it shall not prosper: H6743 for yet the end H7093 shall be at the time appointed. H4150 Then shall he return H7725 into his land H776 with great H1419 riches; H7399 and his heart H3824 shall be against the holy H6944 covenant; H1285 and he shall do H6213 exploits, and return H7725 to his own land. H776 At the time appointed H4150 he shall return, H7725 and come H935 toward the south; H5045 but it shall not be as the former, H7223 or as the latter. H314 For the ships H6716 of Chittim H3794 shall come H935 against him: therefore he shall be grieved, H3512 and return, H7725 and have indignation H2194 against the holy H6944 covenant: H1285 so shall he do; H6213 he shall even return, H7725 and have intelligence H995 with them that forsake H5800 the holy H6944 covenant. H1285 And arms H2220 shall stand H5975 on his part, and they shall pollute H2490 the sanctuary H4720 of strength, H4581 and shall take away H5493 the daily H8548 sacrifice, and they shall place H5414 the abomination H8251 that maketh desolate. H8074 And such as do wickedly H7561 against the covenant H1285 shall he corrupt H2610 by flatteries: H2514 but the people H5971 that do know H3045 their God H430 shall be strong, H2388 and do H6213 exploits. And they that understand H7919 among the people H5971 shall instruct H995 many: H7227 yet they shall fall H3782 by the sword, H2719 and by flame, H3852 by captivity, H7628 and by spoil, H961 many days. H3117 Now when they shall fall, H3782 they shall be holpen H5826 with a little H4592 help: H5828 but many H7227 shall cleave H3867 to them with flatteries. H2519 And some of them of understanding H7919 shall fall, H3782 to try H6884 them, and to purge, H1305 and to make them white, H3835 even to the time H6256 of the end: H7093 because it is yet for a time appointed. H4150 And the king H4428 shall do H6213 according to his will; H7522 and he shall exalt H7311 himself, and magnify H1431 himself above every god, H410 and shall speak H1696 marvellous things H6381 against the God H410 of gods, H410 and shall prosper H6743 till the indignation H2195 be accomplished: H3615 for that that is determined H2782 shall be done. H6213 Neither shall he regard H995 the God H430 of his fathers, H1 nor the desire H2532 of women, H802 nor regard H995 any god: H433 for he shall magnify H1431 himself above all. But in his estate H3653 shall he honour H3513 the God H433 of forces: H4581 and a god H433 whom his fathers H1 knew H3045 not shall he honour H3513 with gold, H2091 and silver, H3701 and with precious H3368 stones, H68 and pleasant things. H2532 Thus shall he do H6213 in the most strong H4581 holds H4013 with a strange H5236 god, H433 whom he shall acknowledge H5234 H5234 and increase H7235 with glory: H3519 and he shall cause them to rule H4910 over many, H7227 and shall divide H2505 the land H127 for gain. H4242 And at the time H6256 of the end H7093 shall the king H4428 of the south H5045 push H5055 at him: and the king H4428 of the north H6828 shall come against him like a whirlwind, H8175 with chariots, H7393 and with horsemen, H6571 and with many H7227 ships; H591 and he shall enter H935 into the countries, H776 and shall overflow H7857 and pass over. H5674 He shall enter H935 also into the glorious H6643 land, H776 and many H7227 countries shall be overthrown: H3782 but these shall escape H4422 out of his hand, H3027 even Edom, H123 and Moab, H4124 and the chief H7225 of the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983 He shall stretch forth H7971 his hand H3027 also upon the countries: H776 and the land H776 of Egypt H4714 shall not escape. H6413 But he shall have power H4910 over the treasures H4362 of gold H2091 and of silver, H3701 and over all the precious H2532 things of Egypt: H4714 and the Libyans H3864 and the Ethiopians H3569 shall be at his steps. H4703 But tidings H8052 out of the east H4217 and out of the north H6828 shall trouble H926 him: therefore he shall go forth H3318 with great H1419 fury H2534 to destroy, H8045 and utterly to make away H2763 many. H7227 And he shall plant H5193 the tabernacles H168 of his palace H643 between the seas H3220 in the glorious H6643 holy H6944 mountain; H2022 yet he shall come H935 to his end, H7093 and none shall help H5826 him.
Seventy H7657 weeks H7620 are determined H2852 upon thy people H5971 and upon thy holy H6944 city, H5892 to finish H3607 the transgression, H6588 and to make an end H8552 H2856 of sins, H2403 and to make reconciliation H3722 for iniquity, H5771 and to bring in H935 everlasting H5769 righteousness, H6664 and to seal up H2856 the vision H2377 and prophecy, H5030 and to anoint H4886 the most H6944 Holy. H6944 Know H3045 therefore and understand, H7919 that from the going forth H4161 of the commandment H1697 to restore H7725 and to build H1129 Jerusalem H3389 unto the Messiah H4899 the Prince H5057 shall be seven H7651 weeks, H7620 and threescore H8346 and two H8147 weeks: H7620 the street H7339 shall be built H1129 again, H7725 and the wall, H2742 even in troublous H6695 times. H6256 And after H310 threescore H8346 and two H8147 weeks H7620 shall Messiah H4899 be cut off, H3772 but not for himself: and the people H5971 of the prince H5057 that shall come H935 shall destroy H7843 the city H5892 and the sanctuary; H6944 and the end H7093 thereof shall be with a flood, H7858 and unto the end H7093 of the war H4421 desolations H8074 are determined. H2782 And he shall confirm H1396 the covenant H1285 with many H7227 for one H259 week: H7620 and in the midst H2677 of the week H7620 he shall cause the sacrifice H2077 and the oblation H4503 to cease, H7673 and for the overspreading H3671 of abominations H8251 he shall make it desolate, H8074 even until the consummation, H3617 and that determined H2782 shall be poured H5413 upon the desolate.

We looked H6960 for peace, H7965 but no good H2896 came; and for a time H6256 of health, H4832 and behold trouble! H1205 The snorting H5170 of his horses H5483 was heard H8085 from Dan: H1835 the whole land H776 trembled H7493 at the sound H6963 of the neighing H4684 of his strong ones; H47 for they are come, H935 and have devoured H398 the land, H776 and all H4393 that is in it; the city, H5892 and those that dwell H3427 therein.
Thus saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Behold, a people H5971 cometh H935 from the north H6828 country, H776 and a great H1419 nation H1471 shall be raised H5782 from the sides H3411 of the earth. H776 They shall lay hold H2388 on bow H7198 and spear; H3591 they are cruel, H394 and have no mercy; H7355 their voice H6963 roareth H1993 like the sea; H3220 and they ride H7392 upon horses, H5483 set in array H6186 as men H376 for war H4421 against thee, O daughter H1323 of Zion. H6726 We have heard H8085 the fame H8089 thereof: our hands H3027 wax feeble: H7503 anguish H6869 hath taken hold H2388 of us, and pain, H2427 as of a woman in travail. H3205
My bowels, H4578 my bowels! H4578 I am pained H2342 H3176 at my very H7023 heart; H3820 my heart H3820 maketh a noise H1993 in me; I cannot hold my peace, H2790 because thou hast heard, H8085 O my soul, H5315 the sound H6963 of the trumpet, H7782 the alarm H8643 of war. H4421 Destruction H7667 upon destruction H7667 is cried; H7121 for the whole land H776 is spoiled: H7703 suddenly H6597 are my tents H168 spoiled, H7703 and my curtains H3407 in a moment. H7281 How long shall I see H7200 the standard, H5251 and hear H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet? H7782 For my people H5971 is foolish, H191 they have not known H3045 me; they are sottish H5530 children, H1121 and they have none understanding: H995 they are wise H2450 to do evil, H7489 but to do good H3190 they have no knowledge. H3045
Come, H3212 my people, H5971 enter H935 thou into thy chambers, H2315 and shut H5462 thy doors H1817 about thee: hide H2247 thyself as it were for a little H4592 moment, H7281 until the indignation H2195 be overpast. H5674 For, behold, the LORD H3068 cometh out H3318 of his place H4725 to punish H6485 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776 for their iniquity: H5771 the earth H776 also shall disclose H1540 her blood, H1818 and shall no more cover H3680 her slain.
