For out of the north H6828 there comes H5927 up a nation H1471 against H5921 her, which H1931 shall make H7896 her land H776 desolate, H8047 and none H3808 shall dwell H3427 therein: they shall remove, H5110 they shall depart, H1980 both man H120 and beast. H929

For, see, H2009 I will raise H5782 and cause to come H5927 up against H5921 Babylon H894 an assembly H6951 of great H1419 nations H1471 from the north H6828 country: H776 and they shall set themselves in array H6186 against her; from there H8033 she shall be taken: H3920 their arrows H2671 shall be as of a mighty H1368 expert H7919 man; none H3808 shall return H7725 in vain. H7387

Shout H7321 against H5921 her round H5439 about: she has given H5414 her hand: H3027 her foundations H803 are fallen, H5307 her walls H2346 are thrown H2040 down: H2040 for it is the vengeance H5360 of the LORD: H3068 take vengeance H5358 on her; as she has done, H6213 do H6213 to her.

The Babylonians, H1121 H894 and all H3605 the Chaldeans, H3779 Pekod, H6489 and Shoa, H7772 and Koa, H6970 and all H3605 the Assyrians H804 with them: all H3605 of them desirable H2531 young H970 men, captains H6346 and rulers, H5461 great H7991 lords H7991 and renowned, H7121 all H3605 of them riding H7392 on horses. H5483

Behold, H2005 I will command, H6680 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 and cause them to return H7725 to this H2063 city; H5892 and they shall fight H3898 against H5921 it, and take H3920 it, and burn H8313 it with fire: H784 and I will make H5414 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 a desolation H8077 without H369 an inhabitant. H3427

Cursed H779 be he that does H6213 the work H4399 of the LORD H3068 deceitfully, H7423 and cursed H779 be he that keeps H4513 back H4513 his sword H2719 from blood. H1818

And Moses H4872 was wroth H7107 with the officers H6485 of the host, H2428 with the captains H8269 over thousands, H505 and captains H8269 over hundreds, H3967 which came H935 from the battle. H6635

Behold, H2005 these H2007 caused H1961 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 through the counsel H1697 of Balaam, H1109 to commit H4560 trespass H4604 against the LORD H3068 in the matter H1697 of Peor, H6465 and there was a plague H4046 among the congregation H5712 of the LORD. H3068

But all H3605 the women H802 children, H2945 that have not known H3045 a man H376 H2145 by lying H4904 with him, keep alive H2421 for yourselves.

Now H6258 go H3212 and smite H5221 Amalek, H6002 and utterly destroy H2763 all H3605 that they have, and spare H2550 them not; but slay H4191 both man H376 and woman, H802 infant H5768 and suckling, H3243 ox H7794 and sheep, H7716 camel H1581 and ass. H2543

It repents H5162 me that I have set H4427 up Saul H7586 to be king: H4428 for he is turned H7725 back H7725 from following H310 me, and has not performed H6965 my commandments. H1697 And it grieved H2734 Samuel; H8050 and he cried H2199 to the LORD H3068 all H3605 night. H3915

And Samuel H8050 came H935 to Saul: H7586 and Saul H7586 said H559 to him, Blessed H1288 be you of the LORD: H3068 I have performed H6965 the commandment H1697 of the LORD. H3068

And Saul H7586 said, H559 They have brought H935 them from the Amalekites: H6003 for the people H5971 spared H2550 the best H4315 of the sheep H6629 and of the oxen, H1241 to sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 your God; H430 and the rest H3498 we have utterly destroyed. H2763

And Samuel H8050 said, H559 When H518 you were little H6996 in your own sight, H5869 were you not made the head H7218 of the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 and the LORD H3068 anointed H4886 you king H4428 over H5921 Israel? H3478

Why H4100 then did you not obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD, H3068 but did fly H5860 on the spoil, H7998 and did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD? H3068

But the people H5971 took H3947 of the spoil, H7998 sheep H6629 and oxen, H1241 the chief H7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, H2764 to sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 your God H430 in Gilgal. H1537

For rebellion H4805 is as the sin H2403 of witchcraft, H7081 and stubbornness H6484 is as iniquity H205 and idolatry. H8655 Because H3282 you have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 he has also rejected H3988 you from being king. H4428

And David H1732 said H559 to Abishai, H52 and to all H3605 his servants, H5650 Behold, H2009 my son, H1121 which H834 came H3318 forth H3318 of my bowels, H4578 seeks H1245 my life: H5315 how H637 much H637 more now H6258 may this Benjamite H1145 do it? let H3240 him alone, and let H3240 him curse; H7043 for the LORD H3068 has bidden H559 him.

Am I now H6258 come H5927 up without H1107 the LORD H3068 against H5921 this H2088 place H4725 to destroy H7843 it? The LORD H3068 said H559 to me, Go H5927 up against H5921 this H2063 land, H776 and destroy H7843 it.

Thus H3541 said H559 Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia, H6539 All H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 has the LORD H3068 God H430 of heaven H8064 given H5414 me; and he has charged H6485 me to build H1129 him an house H1004 in Jerusalem, H3389 which H834 is in Judah. H3063 Who H4310 is there among you of all H3605 his people? H5971 The LORD H3068 his God H430 be with him, and let him go H5927 up.

I will send H7971 him against an hypocritical H2611 nation, H1471 and against H5921 the people H5971 of my wrath H5678 will I give him a charge, H6680 to take H7997 the spoil, H7998 and to take H962 the prey, H957 and to tread H7760 H4823 them down like the mire H2563 of the streets. H2351

That said H559 of Cyrus, H3566 He is my shepherd, H7462 and shall perform H7999 all H3605 my pleasure: H2656 even saying H559 to Jerusalem, H3389 You shall be built; H1129 and to the temple, H1964 Your foundation H3245 shall be laid.

All H3605 you, assemble H6908 yourselves, and hear; H8085 which H4310 among them has declared H5046 these H428 things? The LORD H3068 has loved H157 him: he will do H6213 his pleasure H2656 on Babylon, H894 and his arm H2220 shall be on the Chaldeans. H3778
