Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
I will standH5975 on my watch,H4931 and setH3320 me on the tower,H4692 and will watchH6822 to seeH7200 whatH4100 he will sayH1696 to me, and whatH4100 I shall answerH7725 whenH5921 I am reproved.H8433
2
And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 me, and said,H559 WriteH3789 the vision,H2377 and make it plainH874 on tables,H3871 that he may runH7323 that readsH7121 it.
3
For the visionH2377 is yetH5750 for an appointedH4150 time, but at the endH7093 it shall speak,H6315 and not lie:H3576 thoughH518 it tarry,H4102 waitH2442 for it; becauseH3588 it will surely come,H935 it will not tarry.H309
4
Behold,H2009 his soulH5315 which is liftedH6075 up is not uprightH3474 in him: but the justH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faith.H530
5
YesH637 also,H637 becauseH3588 he transgressesH898 by wine,H3196 he is a proudH3093 man,H1397 neitherH3808 keeps at home,H5115 whoH834 enlargesH7337 his desireH5315 as hell,H7585 and is as death,H4194 and cannotH3808 be satisfied,H7646 but gathersH622 to him allH3605 nations,H1471 and heapsH6908 to him allH3605 people:H5971
6
Shall not allH3605 theseH428 takeH5375 up a parableH4912 againstH5921 him, and a tauntingH4426 proverbH2420 against him, and say,H559 WoeH1945 to him that increasesH7235 that which is not his! howH5704 long?H5704 and to him that ladesH3515 himself with thick clay!H5671
7
Shall they not riseH6965 up suddenlyH6621 that shall biteH5391 you, and awakeH6974 that shall vexH2111 you, and you shall be for bootiesH4933 to them?
8
BecauseH3588 you have spoiledH7997 manyH7227 nations,H1471 allH3605 the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall spoilH7997 you; because of men'sH120 blood,H1818 and for the violenceH2555 of the land,H776 of the city,H7151 and of allH3605 that dwellH3427 therein.
9
WoeH1945 to him that covetsH1214 an evilH7451 covetousnessH1215 to his house,H1004 that he may setH7760 his nestH7064 on high,H4791 that he may be deliveredH5337 from the powerH3709 of evil!H7451
10
You have consultedH3289 shameH1322 to your houseH1004 by cuttingH7096 off manyH7227 people,H5971 and have sinnedH2398 against your soul.H5315
11
For the stoneH68 shall cryH2199 out of the wall,H7023 and the beamH3714 out of the timberH6086 shall answerH6030 it.
12
WoeH1945 to him that buildsH1129 a townH5892 with blood,H1818 and establishesH3559 a cityH7151 by iniquity!H5766
13
Behold,H2009 is it not of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 that the peopleH5971 shall laborH3021 in the veryH1767 fire,H784 and the peopleH3816 shall wearyH3286 themselves for veryH1767 vanity?H7385
14
For the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the knowledgeH3045 of the gloryH3519 of the LORD,H3068 as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the sea.H3220
15
WoeH1945 to him that gives his neighborH7453 drink,H8248 that putH5596 your bottleH2573 to him, and make him drunkenH7937 also,H637 that you may lookH5027 onH5921 their nakedness!H4589
16
You are filledH7646 with shameH7036 for glory:H3519 drinkH8354 you also,H1571 and let your foreskinH6188 be uncovered: the cupH3563 of the LORD'sH3068 rightH3225 handH3225 shall be turnedH5437 to you, and shamefulH7022 spewingH7022 shall be onH5921 your glory.H3519
17
For the violenceH2555 of LebanonH3844 shall coverH3680 you, and the spoilH7701 of beasts,H929 which made them afraid,H2865 because of men'sH120 blood,H1818 and for the violenceH2555 of the land,H776 of the city,H7151 and of allH3605 that dwellH3427 therein.
18
WhatH4100 profitsH3276 the gravenH6459 imageH6755 that the makerH3335 thereof has gravenH6458 it; the moltenH4541 image,H6755 and a teacherH3384 of lies,H8267 that the makerH3335 of his workH3336 trustsH982 therein,H5921 to makeH6213 dumbH483 idols?H457
19
WoeH1945 to him that saidH559 to the wood,H6086 Awake;H6974 to the dumbH1748 stone,H68 Arise,H5782 it shall teach!H3384 Behold,H2009 it is laidH8610 over with goldH2091 and silver,H3701 and there is noH369 breathH7307 at allH3605 in the middleH7130 of it.
20
But the LORDH3068 is in his holyH6944 temple:H1964 let allH3605 the earthH776 keep silenceH2013 beforeH6440 him.
