2 To proclaim [07121] the acceptable [07522] year [08141] of the LORD [03068], and the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] of our God [0430]; to comfort [05162] all that mourn [057];
8 For it is the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] vengeance [05359], and the year [08141] of recompences [07966] for the controversy [07379] of Zion [06726].
8 Therefore wait [02442] ye upon me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], until the day [03117] that I rise up [06965] to the prey [05706]: for my determination [04941] is to gather [0622] the nations [01471], that I may assemble [06908] the kingdoms [04467], to pour [08210] upon them mine indignation [02195], even all my fierce [02740] anger [0639]: for all the earth [0776] shall be devoured [0398] with the fire [0784] of my jealousy [07068].
8 For it is the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] vengeance [05359], and the year [08141] of recompences [07966] for the controversy [07379] of Zion [06726].
11 And [2532] I saw [1492] heaven [3772] opened [455], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] horse [2462]; and [2532] he that sat [2521] upon [1909] him [846] was called [2564] Faithful [4103] and [2532] True [228], and [2532] in [1722] righteousness [1343] he doth judge [2919] and [2532] make war [4170].
12 [1161] His [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442], and [2532] on [1909] his [846] head [2776] were many [4183] crowns [1238]; and he had [2192] a name [3686] written [1125], that [3739] no man [3762] knew [1492], but [1508] he himself [846].
13 And [2532] he was clothed [4016] with a vesture [2440] dipped [911] in blood [129]: and [2532] his [846] name [3686] is called [2564] The Word [3056] of God [2316].
14 And [2532] the armies [4753] which were [3588] in [1722] heaven [3772] followed [190] him [846] upon [1909] white [3022] horses [2462], clothed [1746] in fine linen [1039], white [3022] and [2532] clean [2513].
15 And [2532] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] goeth [1607] a sharp [3691] sword [4501], that [2443] with [1722] it [846] he should smite [3960] the nations [1484]: and [2532] he [846] shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] he [846] treadeth [3961] the winepress [3025] [3631] of the fierceness [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709] of Almighty [3841] God [2316].
16 And [2532] he hath [2192] on [1909] his vesture [2440] and [2532] on [1909] his [846] thigh [3382] a name [3686] written [1125], KING [935] OF KINGS [935], AND [2532] LORD [2962] OF LORDS [2962].
17 And [2532] I saw [1492] an [1520] angel [32] standing [2476] in [1722] the sun [2246]; and [2532] he cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004] to all [3956] the fowls [3732] that fly [4072] in [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], Come [1205] and [2532] gather yourselves together [4863] unto [1519] the supper [1173] of the great [3173] God [2316];
18 That [2443] ye may eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of kings [935], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of captains [5506], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of mighty men [2478], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of horses [2462], and [2532] of them that sit [2521] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of all [3956] men, both free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], both [2532] small [3398] and [2532] great [3173].
19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753].
20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].
21 And [2532] the remnant [3062] were slain [615] with [1722] the sword [4501] of him that sat [2521] upon [1909] the horse [2462], which [3588] sword proceeded [1607] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]: and [2532] all [3956] the fowls [3732] were filled [5526] with [1537] their [846] flesh [4561].
15 For, behold, the LORD [03068] will come [0935] with fire [0784], and with his chariots [04818] like a whirlwind [05492], to render [07725] his anger [0639] with fury [02534], and his rebuke [01606] with flames [03851] of fire [0784].
16 For by fire [0784] and by his sword [02719] will the LORD [03068] plead [08199] with all flesh [01320]: and the slain [02491] of the LORD [03068] shall be many [07231].
17 They that sanctify [06942] themselves, and purify [02891] themselves in the gardens [01593] behind [0310] one [0259] tree in the midst [08432], eating [0398] swine's [02386] flesh [01320], and the abomination [08263], and the mouse [05909], shall be consumed [05486] together [03162], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
18 For I know their works [04639] and their thoughts [04284]: it shall come [0935], that I will gather [06908] all nations [01471] and tongues [03956]; and they shall come [0935], and see [07200] my glory [03519].
19 And I will set [07760] a sign [0226] among them, and I will send [07971] those that escape [06412] of them unto the nations [01471], to Tarshish [08659], Pul [06322], and Lud [03865], that draw [04900] the bow [07198], to Tubal [08422], and Javan [03120], to the isles [0339] afar off [07350], that have not heard [08085] my fame [08088], neither have seen [07200] my glory [03519]; and they shall declare [05046] my glory [03519] among the Gentiles [01471].
20 And they shall bring [0935] all your brethren [0251] for an offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068] out of all nations [01471] upon horses [05483], and in chariots [07393], and in litters [06632], and upon mules [06505], and upon swift beasts [03753], to my holy [06944] mountain [02022] Jerusalem [03389], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], as the children [01121] of Israel [03478] bring [0935] an offering [04503] in a clean [02889] vessel [03627] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
21 And I will also take [03947] of them for priests [03548] and for Levites [03881], saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
22 For as the new [02319] heavens [08064] and the new [02319] earth [0776], which I will make [06213], shall remain [05975] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], so shall your seed [02233] and your name [08034] remain [05975].
23 And it shall come to pass, that from [01767] one new moon [02320] to another [02320], and from [01767] one sabbath [07676] to another [07676], shall all flesh [01320] come [0935] to worship [07812] before [06440] me, saith [0559] the LORD [03068].
24 And they shall go forth [03318], and look [07200] upon the carcases [06297] of the men [0582] that have transgressed [06586] against me: for their worm [08438] shall not die [04191], neither shall their fire [0784] be quenched [03518]; and they shall be an abhorring [01860] unto all flesh [01320].
1 Who is this that cometh [0935] from Edom [0123], with dyed [02556] garments [0899] from Bozrah [01224]? this that is glorious [01921] in his apparel [03830], travelling [06808] in the greatness [07230] of his strength [03581]? I that speak [01696] in righteousness [06666], mighty [07227] to save [03467].
2 Wherefore art thou red [0122] in thine apparel [03830], and thy garments [0899] like him that treadeth [01869] in the winefat [01660]?
3 I have trodden [01869] the winepress [06333] alone; and of the people [05971] there was none [0376] with me: for I will tread [01869] them in mine anger [0639], and trample [07429] them in my fury [02534]; and their blood [05332] shall be sprinkled [05137] upon my garments [0899], and I will stain [01351] all my raiment [04403].
4 For the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] is in mine heart [03820], and the year [08141] of my redeemed [01350] is come [0935].
5 And I looked [05027], and there was none to help [05826]; and I wondered [08074] that there was none to uphold [05564]: therefore mine own arm [02220] brought salvation [03467] unto me; and my fury [02534], it upheld [05564] me.
6 And I will tread down [0947] the people [05971] in mine anger [0639], and make them drunk [07937] in my fury [02534], and I will bring down [03381] their strength [05332] to the earth [0776].
21 For, behold, the LORD [03068] cometh out [03318] of his place [04725] to punish [06485] the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776] for their iniquity [05771]: the earth [0776] also shall disclose [01540] her blood [01818], and shall no more cover [03680] her slain [02026].
20 Come [03212], my people [05971], enter [0935] thou into thy chambers [02315], and shut [05462] thy doors [01817] about thee: hide [02247] thyself as it were for a little [04592] moment [07281], until the indignation [02195] be overpast [05674].
21 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the LORD [03068] shall punish [06485] the host [06635] of the high ones [04791] that are on high [04791], and the kings [04428] of the earth [0127] upon the earth [0127].
22 And they shall be gathered together [0622], as prisoners [0616] are gathered [0626] in the pit [0953], and shall be shut up [05462] in the prison [04525], and after many [07230] days [03117] shall they be visited [06485].
23 Then the moon [03842] shall be confounded [02659], and the sun [02535] ashamed [0954], when the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall reign [04427] in mount [02022] Zion [06726], and in Jerusalem [03389], and before his ancients [02205] gloriously [03519].
9 Behold, the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] cometh [0935], cruel [0394] both with wrath [05678] and fierce [02740] anger [0639], to lay [07760] the land [0776] desolate [08047]: and he shall destroy [08045] the sinners [02400] thereof out of it.
10 For the stars [03556] of heaven [08064] and the constellations [03685] thereof shall not give [01984] their light [0216]: the sun [08121] shall be darkened [02821] in his going forth [03318], and the moon [03394] shall not cause her light [0216] to shine [05050].
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].
12 I will make a man [0582] more precious [03365] than fine gold [06337]; even a man [0120] than the golden wedge [03800] of Ophir [0211].
13 Therefore I will shake [07264] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] shall remove [07493] out of her place [04725], in the wrath [05678] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and in the day [03117] of his fierce [02740] anger [0639].
14 And it shall be as the chased [05080] roe [06643], and as a sheep [06629] that no man taketh up [06908]: they shall every man [0376] turn [06437] to his own people [05971], and flee [05127] every one [0376] into his own land [0776].
15 Every one that is found [04672] shall be thrust through [01856]; and every one that is joined [05595] unto them shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719].
16 Their children [05768] also shall be dashed to pieces [07376] before their eyes [05869]; their houses [01004] shall be spoiled [08155], and their wives [0802] ravished [07901] [07693].
10 And in that day [03117] there shall be a root [08328] of Jesse [03448], which shall stand [05975] for an ensign [05251] of the people [05971]; to it shall the Gentiles [01471] seek [01875]: and his rest [04496] shall be glorious [03519].
11 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the Lord [0136] shall set [03254] his hand [03027] again [03254] the second time [08145] to recover [07069] the remnant [07605] of his people [05971], which shall be left [07604], from Assyria [0804], and from Egypt [04714], and from Pathros [06624], and from Cush [03568], and from Elam [05867], and from Shinar [08152], and from Hamath [02574], and from the islands [0339] of the sea [03220].
12 And he shall set up [05375] an ensign [05251] for the nations [01471], and shall assemble [0622] the outcasts [01760] of Israel [03478], and gather together [06908] the dispersed [05310] of Judah [03063] from the four [0702] corners [03671] of the earth [0776].
13 The envy [07068] also of Ephraim [0669] shall depart [05493], and the adversaries [06887] of Judah [03063] shall be cut off [03772]: Ephraim [0669] shall not envy [07065] Judah [03063], and Judah [03063] shall not vex [06887] Ephraim [0669].
1 And in that day [03117] seven [07651] women [0802] shall take hold [02388] of one [0259] man [0376], saying [0559], We will eat [0398] our own bread [03899], and wear [03847] our own apparel [08071]: only let us be called [07121] by thy name [08034], to take away [0622] our reproach [02781].
2 In that day [03117] shall the branch [06780] of the LORD [03068] be beautiful [06643] and glorious [03519], and the fruit [06529] of the earth [0776] shall be excellent [01347] and comely for [08597] them that are escaped [06413] of Israel [03478].
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left [07604] in Zion [06726], and he that remaineth [03498] in Jerusalem [03389], shall be called [0559] holy [06918], even every one that is written [03789] among the living [02416] in Jerusalem [03389]:
4 When the Lord [0136] shall have washed away [07364] the filth [06675] of the daughters [01323] of Zion [06726], and shall have purged [01740] the blood [01818] of Jerusalem [03389] from the midst [07130] thereof by the spirit [07307] of judgment [04941], and by the spirit [07307] of burning [01197].
5 And the LORD [03068] will create [01254] upon every dwelling place [04349] of mount [02022] Zion [06726], and upon her assemblies [04744], a cloud [06051] and smoke [06227] by day [03119], and the shining [05051] of a flaming [03852] fire [0784] by night [03915]: for upon all the glory [03519] shall be a defence [02646].
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].
10 Enter [0935] into the rock [06697], and hide [02934] thee in the dust [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347].
11 The lofty [01365] looks [05869] of man [0120] shall be humbled [08213], and the haughtiness [07312] of men [0582] shall be bowed down [07817], and the LORD [03068] alone shall be exalted [07682] in that day [03117].
12 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall be upon every one that is proud [01343] and lofty [07311], and upon every one that is lifted up [05375]; and he shall be brought low [08213]:
13 And upon all the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844], that are high [07311] and lifted up [05375], and upon all the oaks [0437] of Bashan [01316],
14 And upon all the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon all the hills [01389] that are lifted up [05375],
15 And upon every high [01364] tower [04026], and upon every fenced [01219] wall [02346],
16 And upon all the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659], and upon all pleasant [02532] pictures [07914].
17 And the loftiness [01365] of man [0120] shall be bowed down [07817], and the haughtiness [07312] of men [0582] shall be made low [08213]: and the LORD [03068] alone shall be exalted [07682] in that day [03117].
18 And the idols [0457] he shall utterly [03632] abolish [02498].
19 And they shall go [0935] into the holes [04631] of the rocks [06697], and into the caves [04247] of the earth [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776].
20 In that day [03117] a man [0120] shall cast [07993] his idols [0457] of silver [03701], and his idols [0457] of gold [02091], which they made each one for himself [06213] to worship [07812], to the moles [02661] [06512] and to the bats [05847];
21 To go [0935] into the clefts [05366] of the rocks [06697], and into the tops [05585] of the ragged rocks [05553], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776].
22 Cease [02308] ye from man [0120], whose breath [05397] is in his nostrils [0639]: for wherein is he to be accounted of [02803]?
