1 Woe to the re­bel­lious chil­dren, saith the LORD, that take coun­sel, but not of me; and that cov­er with a cov­er­ing, but not of my spir­it, that they may add sin to sin: 2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strength­en them­selves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shad­ow of Egypt! 3 There­fore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shad­ow of Egypt your con­fu­sion. 4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his am­bas­sadors came to Hanes. 5 They were all ashamed of a peo­ple that could not prof­it them, nor be an help nor prof­it, but a shame, and also a re­proach. 6 The bur­den of the beasts of the south: into the land of trou­ble and an­guish, from whence come the young and old li­on, the viper and fiery fly­ing ser­pent, they will car­ry their rich­es upon the shoul­ders of young ass­es, and their trea­sures upon the bunch­es of camels, to a peo­ple that shall not prof­it them. 7 For the Egyp­tians shall help in vain, and to no pur­pose: there­fore have I cried con­cern­ing this, Their strength is to sit still. 8 Now go, write it be­fore them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ev­er: 9 That this is a re­bel­lious peo­ple, ly­ing chil­dren, chil­dren that will not hear the law of the LORD: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Proph­esy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, proph­esy de­ceits: 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Is­rael to cease from be­fore us. 12 Where­fore thus saith the Holy One of Is­rael, Be­cause ye de­spise this word, and trust in op­pres­sion and per­verse­ness, and stay there­on: 13 There­fore this in­iq­ui­ty shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose break­ing cometh sud­den­ly at an in­stant. 14 And he shall break it as the break­ing of the pot­ters' ves­sel that is bro­ken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the burst­ing of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take wa­ter withal out of the pit. 15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Is­rael; In re­turn­ing and rest shall ye be saved; in quiet­ness and in con­fi­dence shall be your strength: and ye would not. 16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon hors­es; there­fore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; there­fore shall they that pur­sue you be swift. 17 One thou­sand shall flee at the re­buke of one; at the re­buke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a bea­con upon the top of a moun­tain, and as an en­sign on an hill. 18 And there­fore will the LORD wait, that he may be gra­cious unto you, and there­fore will he be ex­alt­ed, that he may have mer­cy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judg­ment: blessed are all they that wait for him. 19 For the peo­ple shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gra­cious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will an­swer thee. 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of ad­ver­si­ty, and the wa­ter of af­flic­tion, yet shall not thy teach­ers be re­moved into a cor­ner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teach­ers: 21 And thine ears shall hear a word be­hind thee, say­ing, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22 Ye shall de­file also the cov­er­ing of thy graven im­ages of sil­ver, and the or­na­ment of thy molten im­ages of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a men­stru­ous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground with­al; and bread of the in­crease of the earth, and it shall be fat and plen­teous: in that day shall thy cat­tle feed in large pas­tures. 24 The oxen like­wise and the young ass­es that ear the ground shall eat clean proven­der, which hath been win­nowed with the shov­el and with the fan. 25 And there shall be upon ev­ery high moun­tain, and upon ev­ery high hill, rivers and streams of wa­ters in the day of the great slaugh­ter, when the tow­ers fall. 26 More­over the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sev­en­fold, as the light of sev­en days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his peo­ple, and healeth the stroke of their wound. 27 Be­hold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burn­ing with his anger, and the bur­den there­of is heavy: his lips are full of in­dig­na­tion, and his tongue as a de­vour­ing fire: 28 And his breath, as an over­flow­ing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the na­tions with the sieve of van­i­ty: and there shall be a bri­dle in the jaws of the peo­ple, caus­ing them to err. 29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solem­ni­ty is kept; and glad­ness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the moun­tain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Is­rael. 30 And the LORD shall cause his glo­ri­ous voice to be heard, and shall shew the light­ing down of his arm, with the in­dig­na­tion of his anger, and with the flame of a de­vour­ing fire, with scat­ter­ing, and tem­pest, and hail­stones. 31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the As­syr­i­an be beat­en down, which smote with a rod. 32 And in ev­ery place where the ground­ed staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in bat­tles of shak­ing will he fight with it. 33 For Tophet is or­dained of old; yea, for the king it is pre­pared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile there­of is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brim­stone, doth kin­dle it.
