14 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the Amen [281], the faithful [4103] and [2532] true [228] witness [3144], the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] of God [2316];
10 Declaring [05046] the end [0319] from the beginning [07225], and from ancient times [06924] the things that are not yet done [06213], saying [0559], My counsel [06098] shall stand [06965], and I will do [06213] all my pleasure [02656]:
9 Behold, the former things [07223] are come to pass [0935], and new things [02319] do I declare [05046]: before they spring forth [06779] I tell [08085] you of them.
6 For unto us a child [03206] is born [03205], unto us a son [01121] is given [05414]: and the government [04951] shall be upon his shoulder [07926]: and his name [08034] shall be called [07121] Wonderful [06382], Counsellor [03289], The mighty [01368] God [0410], The everlasting [05703] Father [01], The Prince [08269] of Peace [07965].
1 O LORD [03068], thou art my God [0430]; I will exalt [07311] thee, I will praise [03034] thy name [08034]; for thou hast done [06213] wonderful [06382] things; thy counsels [06098] of old [07350] are faithfulness [0530] and truth [0544].
2 For thou hast made [07760] of a city [05892] an heap [01530]; of a defenced [01219] city [07151] a ruin [04654]: a palace [0759] of strangers [02114] to be no city [05892]; it shall never [05769] be built [01129].
3 Therefore shall the strong [05794] people [05971] glorify [03513] thee, the city [07151] of the terrible [06184] nations [01471] shall fear [03372] thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength [04581] to the poor [01800], a strength [04581] to the needy [034] in his distress [06862], a refuge [04268] from the storm [02230], a shadow [06738] from the heat [02721], when the blast [07307] of the terrible ones [06184] is as a storm [02230] against the wall [07023].
5 Thou shalt bring down [03665] the noise [07588] of strangers [02114], as the heat [02721] in a dry place [06724]; even the heat [02721] with the shadow [06738] of a cloud [05645]: the branch [02159] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be brought low [06030].
6 And in this mountain [02022] shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] make [06213] unto all people [05971] a feast [04960] of fat things [08081], a feast [04960] of wines on the lees [08105], of fat things [08081] full of marrow [04229], of wines on the lees [08105] well refined [02212].
7 And he will destroy [01104] in this mountain [02022] the face [06440] of the covering [03875] cast over [03874] all people [05971], and the vail [04541] that is spread [05259] over all nations [01471].
8 He will swallow up [01104] death [04194] in victory [05331]; and the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will wipe away [04229] tears [01832] from off all faces [06440]; and the rebuke [02781] of his people [05971] shall he take away [05493] from off all the earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
9 And it shall be said [0559] in that day [03117], Lo, this is our God [0430]; we have waited [06960] for him, and he will save [03467] us: this is the LORD [03068]; we have waited [06960] for him, we will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in his salvation [03444].
10 For in this mountain [02022] shall the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] rest [05117], and Moab [04124] shall be trodden down [01758] under him, even as straw [04963] is trodden down [01758] for the dunghill [01119] [04087] [04325].
11 And he shall spread forth [06566] his hands [03027] in the midst [07130] of them, as he that swimmeth [07811] spreadeth forth [06566] his hands to swim [07811]: and he shall bring down [08213] their pride [01346] together with the spoils [0698] of their hands [03027].
12 And the fortress [04013] of the high fort [04869] of thy walls [02346] shall he bring down [07817], lay low [08213], and bring [05060] to the ground [0776], even to the dust [06083].
6 For unto us a child [03206] is born [03205], unto us a son [01121] is given [05414]: and the government [04951] shall be upon his shoulder [07926]: and his name [08034] shall be called [07121] Wonderful [06382], Counsellor [03289], The mighty [01368] God [0410], The everlasting [05703] Father [01], The Prince [08269] of Peace [07965].
1 David's [01732] Psalm of praise [08416]. I will extol [07311] thee, my God [0430], O king [04428]; and I will bless [01288] thy name [08034] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
28 Thou art my God [0410], and I will praise [03034] thee: thou art my God [0430], I will exalt [07311] thee.
4 For thus hath the LORD [03068] spoken [0559] unto me, Like as the lion [0738] and the young lion [03715] roaring [01897] on his prey [02964], when a multitude [04393] of shepherds [07462] is called forth [07121] against him, he will not be afraid [02865] of their voice [06963], nor abase [06031] himself for the noise [01995] of them: so shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] come down [03381] to fight [06633] for mount [02022] Zion [06726], and for the hill [01389] thereof.
12 The flowers [05339] appear [07200] on the earth [0776]; the time [06256] of the singing [02158] of birds is come [05060], and the voice [06963] of the turtle [08449] is heard [08085] in our land [0776];
12 Woe [01945] to the multitude [01995] of many [07227] people [05971], which make a noise [01993] like the noise [01993] of the seas [03220]; and to the rushing [07588] of nations [03816], that make a rushing like the rushing [07582] of mighty [03524] waters [04325]!
12 At the brightness [05051] that was before him his thick clouds [05645] passed [05674], hail [01259] stones and coals [01513] of fire [0784].
9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Lo, I come [0935] unto thee in a thick [05645] cloud [06051], that the people [05971] may hear [08085] when I speak [01696] with thee, and believe [0539] thee for ever [05769]. And Moses [04872] told [05046] the words [01697] of the people [05971] unto the LORD [03068].
29 The whole city [05892] shall flee [01272] for the noise [06963] of the horsemen [06571] and bowmen [07198] [07411]; they shall go [0935] into thickets [05645], and climb up [05927] upon the rocks [03710]: every city [05892] shall be forsaken [05800], and not a man [0376] dwell [03427] therein [02004].
18 I will open [06605] rivers [05104] in high places [08205], and fountains [04599] in the midst [08432] of the valleys [01237]: I will make [07760] the wilderness [04057] a pool [098] of water [04325], and the dry [06723] land [0776] springs [04161] of water [04325].
2 And a man [0376] shall be as an hiding place [04224] from the wind [07307], and a covert [05643] from the tempest [02230]; as rivers [06388] of water [04325] in a dry place [06724], as the shadow [06738] of a great [03515] rock [05553] in a weary [05889] land [0776].
4 They only consult [03289] to cast him down [05080] from his excellency [07613]: they delight [07521] in lies [03577]: they bless [01288] with their mouth [06310], but they curse [07043] inwardly [07130]. Selah [05542].
17 Judgment [04941] also will I lay [07760] to the line [06957], and righteousness [06666] to the plummet [04949]: and the hail [01259] shall sweep away [03261] the refuge [04268] of lies [03577], and the waters [04325] shall overflow [07857] the hiding place [05643].
3 Thou hast multiplied [07235] the nation [01471], and not increased [01431] the joy [08057]: they joy [08055] before [06440] thee according to the joy [08057] in harvest [07105], and as men rejoice [01523] when they divide [02505] the spoil [07998].
11 Ye shall conceive [02029] chaff [02842], ye shall bring forth [03205] stubble [07179]: your breath [07307], as fire [0784], shall devour [0398] you.
28 And his breath [07307], as an overflowing [07857] stream [05158], shall reach to the midst [02673] of the neck [06677], to sift [05130] the nations [01471] with the sieve [05299] of vanity [07723]: and there shall be a bridle [07448] in the jaws [03895] of the people [05971], causing them to err [08582].
3 Take [0935] counsel [06098], execute [06213] judgment [06415]; make [07896] thy shadow [06738] as the night [03915] in the midst [08432] of the noonday [06672]; hide [05641] the outcasts [05080]; bewray [01540] not him that wandereth [05074].
2 And a man [0376] shall be as an hiding place [04224] from the wind [07307], and a covert [05643] from the tempest [02230]; as rivers [06388] of water [04325] in a dry place [06724], as the shadow [06738] of a great [03515] rock [05553] in a weary [05889] land [0776].
6 And there shall be a tabernacle [05521] for a shadow [06738] in the daytime [03119] from the heat [02721], and for a place of refuge [04268], and for a covert [04563] from storm [02230] and from rain [04306].
3 Therefore shall the strength [04581] of Pharaoh [06547] be your shame [01322], and the trust [02622] in the shadow [06738] of Egypt [04714] your confusion [03639].
2 O LORD [03068], be gracious [02603] unto us; we have waited [06960] for thee: be thou their arm [02220] every morning [01242], our salvation [03444] also in the time [06256] of trouble [06869].
9 In all their affliction [06869] he was afflicted [06862], and the angel [04397] of his presence [06440] saved [03467] them: in his love [0160] and in his pity [02551] he redeemed [01350] them; and he bare [05190] them, and carried [05375] them all the days [03117] of old [05769].
16 LORD [03068], in trouble [06862] have they visited [06485] thee, they poured out [06694] a prayer [03908] when thy chastening [04148] was upon them.
19 The meek [06035] also shall increase [03254] their joy [08057] in the LORD [03068], and the poor [034] among men [0120] shall rejoice [01523] in the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478].
30 And the firstborn [01060] of the poor [01800] shall feed [07462], and the needy [034] shall lie down [07257] in safety [0983]: and I will kill [04191] thy root [08328] with famine [07458], and he shall slay [02026] thy remnant [07611].
4 Who [5101] shall [5399] not [3364] fear [5399] thee [4571], O Lord [2962], and [2532] glorify [1392] thy [4675] name [3686]? for [3754] thou only [3441] art holy [3741]: for [3754] all [3956] nations [1484] shall come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thee [4675]; for [3754] thy [4675] judgments [1345] are made manifest [5319].
11 And I will punish [06485] the world [08398] for their evil [07451], and the wicked [07563] for their iniquity [05771]; and I will cause the arrogancy [01347] of the proud [02086] to cease [07673], and will lay low [08213] the haughtiness [01346] of the terrible [06184].
3 And [2532] they sing [103] the song [5603] of Moses [3475] the servant [1401] of God [2316], and [2532] the song [5603] of the Lamb [721], saying [3004], Great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298] are thy [4675] works [2041], Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841]; just [1342] and [2532] true [228] are thy [4675] ways [3598], thou King [935] of saints [40].
4 Who [5101] shall [5399] not [3364] fear [5399] thee [4571], O Lord [2962], and [2532] glorify [1392] thy [4675] name [3686]? for [3754] thou only [3441] art holy [3741]: for [3754] all [3956] nations [1484] shall come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thee [4675]; for [3754] thy [4675] judgments [1345] are made manifest [5319].
3 Therefore shall the strong [05794] people [05971] glorify [03513] thee, the city [07151] of the terrible [06184] nations [01471] shall fear [03372] thee.
5 Moreover the multitude [01995] of thy strangers [02114] shall be like small [01851] dust [080], and the multitude [01995] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be as chaff [04671] that passeth away [05674]: yea, it shall be at an instant [06621] suddenly [06597].
7 Your country [0776] is desolate [08077], your cities [05892] are burned [08313] with fire [0784]: your land [0127], strangers [02114] devour [0398] it in your presence, and it is desolate [08077], as overthrown [04114] by strangers [02114].
13 Upon the land [0127] of my people [05971] shall come up [05927] thorns [06975] and briers [08068]; yea, upon all the houses [01004] of joy [04885] in the joyous [05947] city [07151]:
14 Because the palaces [0759] shall be forsaken [05203]; the multitude [01995] of the city [05892] shall be left [05800]; the forts [06076] and towers [0975] shall be for dens [04631] for [05704] ever [05769], a joy [04885] of wild asses [06501], a pasture [04829] of flocks [05739];
2 Thou that art full [04392] of stirs [08663], a tumultuous [01993] city [05892], a joyous [05947] city [07151]: thy slain [02491] men are not slain [02491] with the sword [02719], nor dead [04191] in battle [04421].
26 And I will restore [07725] thy judges [08199] as at the first [07223], and thy counsellors [03289] as at the beginning [08462]: afterward [0310] thou shalt be called [07121], The city [05892] of righteousness [06664], the faithful [0539] city [07151].
13 Behold the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]; this people [05971] was not, till the Assyrian [0804] founded [03245] it for them that dwell in the wilderness [06728]: they set up [06965] the towers [0971] thereof, they raised up [06209] the palaces [0759] thereof; and he brought [07760] it to ruin [04654].
1 The burden [04853] of Damascus [01834]. Behold, Damascus [01834] is taken away [05493] from being a city [05892], and it shall be a ruinous [04654] heap [04596].
10 The city [07151] of confusion [08414] is broken down [07665]: every house [01004] is shut up [05462], that no man may come in [0935].
1 The burden [04853] of Tyre [06865]. Howl [03213], ye ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659]; for it is laid waste [07703], so that there is no house [01004], no entering in [0935]: from the land [0776] of Chittim [03794] it is revealed [01540] to them.
1 The burden [04853] of Damascus [01834]. Behold, Damascus [01834] is taken away [05493] from being a city [05892], and it shall be a ruinous [04654] heap [04596].
8 For the head [07218] of Syria [0758] is Damascus [01834], and the head [07218] of Damascus [01834] is Rezin [07526]; and within threescore [08346] and five [02568] years [08141] shall Ephraim [0669] be broken [02865], that it be not a people [05971].
26 Hast thou not heard [08085] long ago [07350], how I have done [06213] it; and of ancient [06924] times [03117], that I have formed [03335] it? now have I brought [0935] it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste [07582] defenced [01219] cities [05892] into ruinous [05327] heaps [01530].
13 Behold the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]; this people [05971] was not, till the Assyrian [0804] founded [03245] it for them that dwell in the wilderness [06728]: they set up [06965] the towers [0971] thereof, they raised up [06209] the palaces [0759] thereof; and he brought [07760] it to ruin [04654].
6 We have heard [08085] of the pride [01347] of Moab [04124]; he is very [03966] proud [01341]: even of his haughtiness [01346], and his pride [01347], and his wrath [05678]: but his lies [0907] shall not be so.
1 For, behold, the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], doth take away [05493] from Jerusalem [03389] and from Judah [03063] the stay [04937] and the staff [04938], the whole stay [04937] of bread [03899], and the whole [03605] stay [04937] of water [04325],
29 This also cometh forth [03318] from the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which is wonderful [06381] in counsel [06098], and excellent [01431] in working [08454].
8 Who hath taken this counsel [03289] against Tyre [06865], the crowning [05849] city, whose merchants [05503] are princes [08269], whose traffickers [03667] are the honourable [03513] of the earth [0776]?
17 And the land [0127] of Judah [03063] shall be a terror [02283] unto Egypt [04714], every one that maketh mention [02142] thereof shall be afraid [06342] in himself, because [06440] of the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which he hath determined [03289] against it.
12 Where [0335] are they? where [0645] are thy wise [02450] men? and let them tell [05046] thee now, and let them know [03045] what the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath purposed [03289] upon Egypt [04714].
24 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sworn [07650], saying [0559], Surely as I have thought [01819], so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed [03289], so shall it stand [06965]:
25 That I will break [07665] the Assyrian [0804] in my land [0776], and upon my mountains [02022] tread him under foot [0947]: then shall his yoke [05923] depart [05493] from off them, and his burden [05448] depart [05493] from off their shoulders [07926].
26 This is the purpose [06098] that is purposed [03289] upon the whole earth [0776]: and this is the hand [03027] that is stretched out [05186] upon all the nations [01471].
27 For the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath purposed [03289], and who shall disannul [06565] it? and his hand [03027] is stretched out [05186], and who shall turn it back [07725]?
19 That say [0559], Let him make speed [04116], and hasten [02363] his work [04639], that we may see [07200] it: and let the counsel [06098] of the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] draw nigh [07126] and come [0935], that we may know [03045] it!
26 Hast thou not heard [08085] long ago [07350], how I have done [06213] it; and of ancient [06924] times [03117], that I have formed [03335] it? now have I brought [0935] it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste [07582] defenced [01219] cities [05892] into ruinous [05327] heaps [01530].
11 Ye made [06213] also a ditch [04724] between the two walls [02346] for the water [04325] of the old [03465] pool [01295]: but ye have not looked [05027] unto the maker [06213] thereof, neither had respect [07200] unto him that fashioned [03335] it long ago [07350].
2 The LORD [03050] is my strength [05797] and song [02176], and he is become my salvation [03444]: he [02088] is my God [0410], and I will prepare him an habitation [05115]; my father's [01] God [0430], and I will exalt [07311] him.
2 Behold, God [0410] is my salvation [03444]; I will trust [0982], and not be afraid [06342]: for the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is my strength [05797] and my song [02176]; he also is become my salvation [03444].
12 Marvellous things [06382] did [06213] he in the sight [05048] of their fathers [01], in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the field [07704] of Zoan [06814].
15 Thou hast with thine arm [02220] redeemed [01350] thy people [05971], the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] and Joseph [03130]. Selah [05542].
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD [03068], among the gods [0410]? who is like thee, glorious [0142] in holiness [06944], fearful [03372] in praises [08416], doing [06213] wonders [06382]?
28 Thou art my God [0410], and I will praise [03034] thee: thou art my God [0430], I will exalt [07311] thee.
1 And in that day [03117] thou shalt say [0559], O LORD [03068], I will praise [03034] thee: though thou wast angry [0599] with me, thine anger [0639] is turned away [07725], and thou comfortedst [05162] me.
2 Behold, God [0410] is my salvation [03444]; I will trust [0982], and not be afraid [06342]: for the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is my strength [05797] and my song [02176]; he also is become my salvation [03444].
3 Therefore with joy [08342] shall ye draw [07579] water [04325] out of the wells [04599] of salvation [03444].
4 And in that day [03117] shall ye say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068], call [07121] upon his name [08034], declare [03045] his doings [05949] among the people [05971], make mention [02142] that his name [08034] is exalted [07682].
5 Sing [02167] unto the LORD [03068]; for he hath done [06213] excellent things [01348]: this is known [03045] [03045] in all the earth [0776].
6 Cry out [06670] and shout [07442], thou inhabitant [03427] of Zion [06726]: for great [01419] is the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] in the midst [07130] of thee.
1 O LORD [03068], thou art my God [0430]; I will exalt [07311] thee, I will praise [03034] thy name [08034]; for thou hast done [06213] wonderful [06382] things; thy counsels [06098] of old [07350] are faithfulness [0530] and truth [0544].
2 For thou hast made [07760] of a city [05892] an heap [01530]; of a defenced [01219] city [07151] a ruin [04654]: a palace [0759] of strangers [02114] to be no city [05892]; it shall never [05769] be built [01129].
3 Therefore shall the strong [05794] people [05971] glorify [03513] thee, the city [07151] of the terrible [06184] nations [01471] shall fear [03372] thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength [04581] to the poor [01800], a strength [04581] to the needy [034] in his distress [06862], a refuge [04268] from the storm [02230], a shadow [06738] from the heat [02721], when the blast [07307] of the terrible ones [06184] is as a storm [02230] against the wall [07023].
5 Thou shalt bring down [03665] the noise [07588] of strangers [02114], as the heat [02721] in a dry place [06724]; even the heat [02721] with the shadow [06738] of a cloud [05645]: the branch [02159] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be brought low [06030].
1 O LORD [03068], thou art my God [0430]; I will exalt [07311] thee, I will praise [03034] thy name [08034]; for thou hast done [06213] wonderful [06382] things; thy counsels [06098] of old [07350] are faithfulness [0530] and truth [0544].
2 For thou hast made [07760] of a city [05892] an heap [01530]; of a defenced [01219] city [07151] a ruin [04654]: a palace [0759] of strangers [02114] to be no city [05892]; it shall never [05769] be built [01129].
3 Therefore shall the strong [05794] people [05971] glorify [03513] thee, the city [07151] of the terrible [06184] nations [01471] shall fear [03372] thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength [04581] to the poor [01800], a strength [04581] to the needy [034] in his distress [06862], a refuge [04268] from the storm [02230], a shadow [06738] from the heat [02721], when the blast [07307] of the terrible ones [06184] is as a storm [02230] against the wall [07023].
5 Thou shalt bring down [03665] the noise [07588] of strangers [02114], as the heat [02721] in a dry place [06724]; even the heat [02721] with the shadow [06738] of a cloud [05645]: the branch [02159] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be brought low [06030].
6 And in this mountain [02022] shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] make [06213] unto all people [05971] a feast [04960] of fat things [08081], a feast [04960] of wines on the lees [08105], of fat things [08081] full of marrow [04229], of wines on the lees [08105] well refined [02212].
7 And he will destroy [01104] in this mountain [02022] the face [06440] of the covering [03875] cast over [03874] all people [05971], and the vail [04541] that is spread [05259] over all nations [01471].
8 He will swallow up [01104] death [04194] in victory [05331]; and the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will wipe away [04229] tears [01832] from off all faces [06440]; and the rebuke [02781] of his people [05971] shall he take away [05493] from off all the earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
