Woe to the rebellious children, Declares Jehovah, Who devise counsel, but not of Me, And who make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add Sin upon sin;
Who go down to Egypt, Yet do not ask of My mouth, To take refuge in the refuge of Pharaoh, And to take shelter in the shadow of Egypt.
Therefore the refuge of Pharaoh will be your shame, And shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
For their princes are at Zoan, And their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
All are ashamed Of a people that cannot profit them, Nor be a help or profit to them, But rather a shame and also a reproach.
The burden concerning the beasts of the Negev: Through the land of distress and anguish, From which come lioness and lion, Viper and flying fiery serpent, They carry their riches upon young donkeys' backs And their treasures upon camels' humps To a people that cannot profit them;
For Egypt helps in a vain and empty way. Therefore I call her Rahab, who sits still.
Go now; write it on a tablet before them, And inscribe it on a scroll, That it may be, for the time to come, As a witness forever.
For this is a rebellious people, False children, Children who refuse to hear The instruction of Jehovah;
Who say to those who see, Do not see; And to those who have visions, Do not give us true visions; Speak pleasant things to us; Give us illusions as your visions;
Get out of the way; Turn aside from the path; Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us.
Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word And trust in oppression and guile, And rely on them,
Therefore this iniquity Will be to you Like a breach ready to fall, Sticking out on a high wall, Whose crashing comes In an instant, suddenly.
And its crashing will be like the crashing of the potters' vessel: Crushed-he will not spare; And there will not be found Among the crushed pieces a shard With which to take fire from the hearth Or to draw water from the cistern.
For thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you will be saved; In quietness and in trust will be your strength; But you were not willing,
And said, No, for we will flee on horses; Therefore you will flee. And, We will ride upon the swift; Therefore those who chase you will be swift.
One thousand will flee at the rebuke of one; At the rebuke of five you will flee, Until you are left Like a bare mast upon a mountaintop And a standard on a hill.
And therefore Jehovah waits to be gracious to you, And therefore He remains on high to have compassion on you; For Jehovah is a God of justice; Blessed are those who wait for Him.
For a people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem-You will weep no more; He will be most gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you.
And though the Lord has given you The bread of adversity and the water of oppression, Your Teacher will no longer hide Himself in a corner, But your eyes will see your Teacher.
And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, When you turn to the right or turn to the left.
And you will defile the silver covering of your graven images And the gold plating of your molten idols; You will scatter them like some dirty thing; You will say to it, Go away!
Then He will give rain for your seed, Which you will sow in the ground, And the bread of the increase of the ground; And it will be fat and plenteous. Your livestock will feed in that day In a vast pasture.
And the oxen and donkeys that work the ground Will eat salted fodder that has been winnowed with shovel and fork.
And upon every high mountain And upon every prominent hill There will be brooks and streams of water In the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, On the day when Jehovah binds up the breach of His people And heals the wound left from His stroke.
Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from a distance, Burning with His anger and heavy with smoke; His lips are full of indignation, And His tongue is like a devouring fire;
His breath, like an overflowing stream, Reaches up to the neck, To sift the nations with the sieve of nothingness; And a bridle that leads them to err is in the jaws of the peoples.
You will have a song As in the night when the feast is sanctified, And gladness of heart as when one marches to the flute To go to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
And Jehovah will cause the majesty of His voice to be heard And the descending of His arm to be seen, With the blasting of anger and the flame of devouring fire, In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones.
For at the voice of Jehovah, Assyria will be dismayed; With a staff He will strike.
And every pass of the appointed rod, Which Jehovah will lay upon him, Will be with tambourines and harps; And in battles of brandishing weapons He will fight against them.
For Topheth has been arranged since long ago; Indeed it has been prepared for the king; He made it deep; He made it large. The pile in it is of fire and much wood; The breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, Sets it on fire.
