O you sword H2719 of the LORD, H3068 how H5704 long H5704 will it be ere H3808 you be quiet? H8252 put H622 up yourself into H413 your scabbard, H8593 rest, H7280 and be still. H1826

And I will bring H935 a sword H2719 on you, that shall avenge H5358 the quarrel H5359 of my covenant: H1285 and when you are gathered H622 together within H413 your cities, H5892 I will send H7971 the pestilence H1698 among H8432 you; and you shall be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the enemy. H341

For by fire H784 and by his sword H2719 will the LORD H3068 plead H8199 with all H3605 flesh: H1320 and the slain H2491 of the LORD H3068 shall be many. H7231

And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to me, saying, H559

And the sword H2719 shall abide H2342 on his cities, H5892 and shall consume H3615 his branches, H905 and devour H398 them, because of their own counsels. H4156

Woe H1945 to the idol H457 shepherd H7473 that leaves H5800 the flock! H6629 the sword H2719 shall be on his arm, H2220 and on his right H3225 eye: H5869 his arm H2220 shall be clean H2889 dried H3001 up, and his right H3225 eye H5869 shall be utterly darkened. H3543

Slay H2717 all H3605 her bullocks; H6499 let them go H3381 down H3381 to the slaughter: H2874 woe H1945 to them! for their day H3117 is come, H935 the time H6256 of their visitation. H6486

Therefore H5921 H3651 shall her young H970 men fall H5307 in the streets, H7339 and all H3605 her men H582 of war H4421 shall be cut H1826 off in that day, H3117 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

In their heat H2527 I will make H7896 their feasts, H4960 and I will make them drunken, H7937 that they may rejoice, H5937 and sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep, H8142 and not wake, H6974 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

And I will make drunk H7937 her princes, H8269 and her wise H2450 men, her captains, H6346 and her rulers, H5461 and her mighty H1368 men: and they shall sleep H3462 a perpetual H5769 sleep, H8142 and not wake, H6974 said H5002 the King, H4428 whose name H8034 is the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

I have raised H5782 up one from the north, H6828 and he shall come: H857 from the rising H4217 of the sun H8121 shall he call H7121 on my name: H8034 and he shall come H935 on princes H5461 as on mortar, H2563 and as the potter H3335 treads H7429 clay. H2916

Belshazzar H1113 the king H4430 made H5648 a great H7227 feast H3900 to a thousand H506 of his lords, H7261 and drank H8355 wine H2562 before H6903 the thousand. H506

Belshazzar, H1113 whiles he tasted H2942 the wine, H2562 commanded H560 to bring H858 the golden H1722 and silver H3702 vessels H3984 which H1768 his father H2 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 had taken H5312 out of the temple H1965 which H1768 was in Jerusalem; H3390 that the king, H4430 and his princes, H7261 his wives, H7695 and his concubines, H3904 might drink H8355 therein.

In that night H3916 was Belshazzar H1113 the king H4430 of the Chaldeans H3779 slain. H6992

The wise H2450 men are ashamed, H954 they are dismayed H2865 and taken: see, H2009 they have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD; H3068 and what H4100 wisdom H2451 is in them?

Who H4310 would not fear H3372 you, O King H4428 of nations? H1471 for to you does it appertain: H2969 for as much as among all H3605 the wise H2450 men of the nations, H1471 and in all H3605 their kingdoms, H4467 there is none H369 like H3644 to you.

Surely H389 the princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are fools, H191 the counsel H6098 of the wise H2450 counsellors H3289 of Pharaoh H6547 is become H1197 brutish: H1197 how H349 say H559 you to Pharaoh, H6547 I am the son H1121 of the wise, H2450 the son H1121 of ancient H6924 kings? H4428

The princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are become H2973 fools, H2973 the princes H8269 of Noph H5297 are deceived; H5377 they have also seduced H8582 Egypt, H4714 even they that are the stay H6438 of the tribes H7626 thereof.

Therefore, H3651 behold, H2005 I will proceed H3254 to do a marvelous H6381 work H6381 among this H2088 people, H5971 even a marvelous H6381 work H6381 and a wonder: H6382 for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 men shall perish, H6 and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 men shall be hid. H5641

That frustrates H6565 the tokens H226 of the liars, H907 and makes diviners H7080 mad; H1984 that turns H7725 wise H2450 men backward, H268 and makes their knowledge H1847 foolish; H5528

You are wearied H3811 in the multitude H7230 of your counsels. H6098 Let now H4994 the astrologers, H1895 H8064 the stargazers, H2374 3556 the monthly H2320 prognosticators, H3045 stand H5975 up, and save H3467 you from these things that shall come H935 on you.

Behold, H2009 they shall be as stubble; H7179 the fire H784 shall burn H8313 them; they shall not deliver H5337 themselves H5315 from the power H3027 of the flame: H3852 there shall not be a coal H1513 to warm H2552 at, nor fire H217 to sit H3427 before H5048 it.

The king H4430 cried H7123 aloud H2429 to bring H5924 in the astrologers, H826 the Chaldeans, H3779 and the soothsayers. H1505 And the king H4430 spoke, H6032 and said H560 to the wise H2445 men of Babylon, H895 Whoever H3605 shall read H7123 this H1836 writing, H3792 and show H2324 me the interpretation H6591 thereof, shall be clothed H3848 with scarlet, H711 and have a chain H2002 of gold H1722 about H5922 his neck, H6676 and shall be the third H8523 ruler H7981 in the kingdom. H4437

Then H116 came H5954 in all H3606 the king's H4430 wise H2445 men: but they could H3546 not read H7123 the writing, H3792 nor make known H3046 to the king H4430 the interpretation H6591 thereof.
