12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Because you have cast off this Word, and trust in violence, and wickedness, and stay thereupon,
13 “therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach that falls, a swelling in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in a moment.
14 “And its breaking is like the breaking of a potter’s pot, which is broken without pity. And in its breaking, there is not found a shard to take fire out of the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.”
15 For thus said the LORD God, the Holy One of Israel, “In rest and quietness shall you be saved. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence.” But you would not.
16 For you have said, “No, but we will flee away upon horses!” Therefore, shall you flee. “We will ride upon the swiftest!” Therefore, your persecutors shall be swifter.
17 A thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one. At the rebuke of five shall you flee, till you are left as a ship mast upon the top of a mountain, and as a beacon upon a hill.
18 And, therefore, the LORD will wait, so that He may have mercy upon you. And, therefore, He will be exalted, so that He may have compassion upon you. For the LORD is the God of Judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for Him.
19 Surely a people shall dwell in Zion. In Jerusalem, you shall weep no more. He will certainly have mercy upon you at the voice of your cry. When He hears you, He will answer you.
20 And when the LORD has given you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, your rain shall be kept back no more. But your eyes shall see your rain.
21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.
22 And you shall pollute the covering of the images of silver, and the rich ornament of your images of gold, and cast them away as a menstruous cloth. And you shall say to it, “Get away!”
23 Then He shall give rain to your seed when you shall sow the ground, and bread from the increase of the Earth. And it shall be fat and rich. On that day, your cattle shall be fed in large pastures.
24 The oxen, also, and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat clean fodder, which is winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And upon every high mountain and upon every high hill there shall be rivers, streams of waters, on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers shall 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, and like the light of seven days, on the day that the LORD shall bind up the breach of His people and heal the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar. His Face is burning, and its burden heavy. His Lips are full of indignation, and His Tongue as a devouring fire.
28 and His Spirit as a river that overflows up to the neck. It divides apart, to fan the nations with the fan of frivolity. And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people that causes them to err.
29 There shall be a song to you, as in the night (when a solemn Feast is kept), and gladness of heart, as he who comes with a flute to go to the Mount of the LORD, to the Mighty One of Israel.
30 And the LORD shall cause His glorious Voice to be heard and shall declare the descent of His Arm with the anger of His Countenance, and flame of a devouring fire, with scattering and tempest and hailstones.
31 For with the Voice of the LORD shall Assyria be destroyed, who struck with the rod.
32 And in every place of punishment that the staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, there will be tambourines and harps. And in brandishing battles, He shall fight against it.
33 For Tophet is prepared of old. It is even prepared for the king. He has made it deep and large. It burns with fire and much wood. The breath of the LORD, like a river of brimstone, kindles it.
31 Woe to those who go down into Egypt for help. They rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong. But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel or seek the LORD.
2 But He is still wisest. Therefore, He will bring misery, and not turn back His Word. But He will arise against the house of the wicked, and against the help of those who work vanity.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God. And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. And when the LORD shall stretch out His Hand, the helper shall fall. And he who is helped shall fall. And they all shall fail.
4 For this has the LORD spoken to me, “As the lion or the lion’s whelp roars upon his prey, against whom a multitude of shepherds are called, he will not be afraid at their voice. Nor will he humble himself at their noise. So shall the LORD of Hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion, and for its hill.
5 “As birds that fly, so shall the LORD of Hosts defend Jerusalem by defending and delivering, by passing through and preserving it.”
6 O you children of Israel, turn again, inasmuch as you are sunken deep in rebellion!
7 For on that day, every man shall cast out his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, sin which your hands have made.
8 “Then shall Assyria fall by the sword—not of man, nor shall the sword of man devour him—and he shall flee from the sword. And his young men shall faint.
9 “And he shall go in fear to his tower. And his princes shall be afraid of the standard,” says the LORD, Whose fire is in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem.”
32 Behold, a King shall reign in justice, and the princes shall rule in judgment.
2 A man shall be like a hiding place from the wind, and a refuge from the storm, as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the ears of those who hear, shall listen.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall understand knowledge. And the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak distinctly.
5 No more shall a foolish person be called noble, nor the scoundrel generous.
6 But the fool will speak foolishness, and his heart will work iniquity, and do wickedly, and speak falsely against the LORD, to make the hungry soul empty, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 For the weapons of the scoundrel are wicked. He devises wicked counsels to undo the poor with lying words, and to speak against the poor in judgment.
8 But the generous man will devise generous things. And he will continue his generosity.
9 Rise up you women who are at ease! Hear my voice, you careless daughters! Listen to my words!
10 For many days and years, you women who are careless shall be in fear. For the vintage shall fail, and the harvests shall come no more.
11 Be astonished, you women who are at ease! Fear, O you careless women! Take off your clothes. Make yourselves bare and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 Men shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields and for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall grow thorns and briers —yea, upon all the houses of joy —in the city of rejoicing.
14 Because the palace shall be forsaken, the noise of the city shall be left. The tower and fortress shall be caves forever —the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks —
15 until the Spirit is poured upon us from above and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the plenteous field is counted as a forest.
16 And judgment shall dwell in the desert. And justice shall remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of justice shall be peace, even the work of justice and quietness and assurance, forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.
19 When it hails, it shall fall on the forest. And the city shall be humiliated.
20 Blessed are you who sow upon all waters and drive the feet of the ox and the donkey.
33 Woe to you who plunder, yet were not plundered, and does wickedly, yet they did not do wickedly against you. When you shall cease to plunder, you shall be plundered. When you shall stop doing wickedly, they shall do wickedly against you.
2 O LORD, have mercy upon us. We have waited for You. Be their Arm in the morning, our help also in time of trouble!
3 At the noise of the tumult, the people fled. At Your exalting, the nations were scattered.
4 And Your plunder shall be gathered like the gathering of caterpillars. And He shall go against him like the leaping of grasshoppers.
5 The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.
6 And there shall be stability of the times, strength, salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD shall be His treasure.
7 Behold, their messengers shall cry outside. And the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The paths are desolate. The wayfaring man ceases. He has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He regards no man.
9 The Earth mourns and faints. Lebanon is ashamed and withered. Sharon is like a wilderness. And Bashan is shaken, and Carmel.
5 Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty whereby Christ has made us free. And be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say to you, that if you shall become circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man who is circumcised, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
4 You are severed from Christ. Whoever is justified by the Law, you are fallen from grace.
5 For we, through the Spirit, wait for the hope of righteousness through faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith (which works by love).
7 You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 It is not the persuasion of the One who calls you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you, through the Lord, that you will be single-minded. But he who troubles you shall bear condemnation, whoever he might be.
11 And I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the stumbling block of the cross is abolished.
12 I even wish those who disquiet you would emasculate themselves.
63 O God, You are my God. I will seek You early. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs greatly after You in a barren and dry land, without water.
2 Thus, when I behold Your power and Your Glory, I behold You as in the Sanctuary.
3 For Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus will I magnify You all my life and lift up my hands in Your Name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think upon You in the night watches.
7 Therefore, because You have been my helper, I will rejoice under the shadow of Your wings.
8 My soul clings to You. Your right hand upholds me.
9 Therefore, those who seek my soul to destroy it, they shall go into the lowest parts of the Earth.
10 They shall cast him down with the edge of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. All who swear by Him shall rejoice. For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. To him who excels: A Psalm of David
22 Obey your father who has begotten you. And do not despise your mother when she is old.
