and plenteous;In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.24The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the groundShall eat savoury provender,Which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.25And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hillStreams and watercourses,In the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.26Moreover 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 the seven days,In the day that the Lord bindeth up the bruise of His people,And healeth the stroke of their wound. 27Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far,With His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke;His lips are full of indignation,And His tongue is as a devouring fire;28And His breath is as an overflowing stream,That divideth even unto the neck,To sift the nations with the sieve of destruction;And a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.29Ye shall have a songAs in the night when a feast is hallowed;And gladness of heart, as when one goeth with the pipeTo come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.30And the Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard,And will show the lighting down of His arm,With furious anger, and the flame of a devouring fire,With a bursting of clouds, and a storm of rain, and hailstones.31For through the voice of the Lord shall Asshur be dismayed,The rod with which He smote.32And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass,Which the Lord shall lay upon him,It shall be with tabrets and harps;And in battles of wielding will He fight with them.33For a hearth is ordered of old;Yea, for the king it is prepared,Deep and large;The pile thereof is fire and much wood;The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. 31Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help,And rely on horses,And trust in chariots, because they are many,And in horsemen, because they are exceeding mighty;But they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,Neither seek the Lord!2Yet He also is wise,And bringeth evil,And doth not call back His words;But will arise against the house of the evil-doers,And against the help of them that work iniquity.3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God,And their horses flesh, and not spirit;So when the Lord shall stretch out His hand,Both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall,And they all shall perish together. 4For thus saith the Lord unto me:Like as the lion, or the young lion, growling over his prey,Though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him,Will not be dismayed at their voice,Nor abase himself for the noise of them;So will the Lord of hosts come downTo fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.5As birds hovering,So will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem;He will deliver it as He protecteth it,He will rescue it as He passeth over.6Turn ye unto HimAgainst whom ye have deeply rebelled, O children of Israel.7For in that day they shall cast awayEvery man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,Which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.8Then shall Asshur fall with the sword, not of man,And the sword, not of men, shall devour him;And he shall flee from the sword,And his young men shall become tributary.9And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror,And his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign,Saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion,And His furnace in Jerusalem. 32 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness,And as for princes, they shall rule in justice.2And a man shall be as in a hiding-place from the wind,And a covert from the tempest;As by the watercourses in a dry place,As in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.3And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed,And the ears of them that hear shall attend.4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge,And the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.5The vile person shall be no more called liberal,Nor the churl said to be noble.6For the vile person will speak villainy,And his heart will work iniquity,To practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the Lord,To make empty the soul of the hungry,And to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.7The instruments also of the churl are evil;He deviseth wicked devicesTo destroy the poor with lying words,And the needy when he speaketh right.8But the liberal deviseth liberal things;And by liberal things shall he stand. 9Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice;Ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.10After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women;For the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.11Tremble, ye women that are at ease;Be troubled, ye confident ones;Strip you, and make you bare,And gird sackcloth upon your loins,12Smiting upon the breastsFor the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine;13For the land of my peopleWhereon thorns and briers come up;Yea, for all the houses of joyAnd the joyous city.14For the palace shall be forsaken;The city with its stir shall be deserted;The mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever,A joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;15Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high,And the wilderness become a fruitful field,And the fruitful field be counted for a forest.16Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness,And righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.17And the work of righteousness shall be peace;And the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.18And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation,And in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.19And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest;But the city shall descend into the valley.20Happy are ye that sow beside all waters,That send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass. 33Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled;And dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee!When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled;And when thou art weary with dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 2O Lord, be gracious unto us;We have waited for Thee;Be Thou their arm every morning,Our salvation also in the time of trouble.3At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled;At the lifting up of Thyself the nations are scattered.4And your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathereth;As locusts leap do they leap upon it.5The Lord is exalted, for He dwelleth on high;He hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.6And the stability of thy times shall beA hoard of salvation—wisdom and knowledge,And the fear of the Lord which is His treasure. 7Behold, their valiant ones cry without;The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.8The highways lie waste, The wayfaring man ceaseth;He hath broken the covenant,He hath despised the cities,He regardeth not man.9The land mourneth and languisheth;Lebanon is ashamed, it withereth;Sharon is like a wilderness;And Bashan and Carmel are clean bare.10Now will I arise, saith the Lord;Now will I be exalted;Now will I lift Myself up.11Ye conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble;Your breath is a fire that shall devour you.12And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime;As thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. 13Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done;And, ye that are near, acknowledge My might.14The sinners in Zion are afraid;Trembling hath seized the ungodly:'Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?'15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;He that despiseth the gain of oppressions,That shaketh his hands from holding of bribes,That stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood,And shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;16He shall dwell on high;His place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks;His bread shall be given, his waters shall be sure. 17Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty;They shall behold a land stretching afar.18Thy heart shall muse on the terror:'Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed?Where is he that counted the towers?'19Thou shalt not see the fierce people;A people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive,Of a stammering tongue that thou canst not understand.20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemn gatherings;Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a peaceful habitation,A tent that shall not be removed,The stakes whereof shall never be plucked up,Neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.21But there the Lord will be with us in majesty,In a place of broad rivers and streams;Wherein shall go no galley with oars,Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.22For the Lord is our Judge,The Lord is our Lawgiver,The Lord is our King;He will save us.23Thy tacklings are loosed;They do not hold the stand of their mast,They do not spread the sail;Then is the prey of a great spoil divided;The lame take the prey.24And the inhabitant shall not say: 'I am sick';The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. 34Come near, ye nations, to hear, And attend, ye peoples;Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof,The world, and all things that come forth of it.2For the Lord hath indignation against all the nations,And fury against all their host;He hath utterly destroyed them,He hath delivered them to the slaughter.3Their
