Dual Panel1Woe <01945> to thee that spoilest <07703> (8802)_, and thou [wast] not spoiled <07703> (8803)_; and dealest treacherously <0898> (8802)_, and they dealt not treacherously <0898> (8804) with thee! when thou shalt cease <08552> (8687) to spoil <07703> (8802)_, thou shalt be spoiled <07703> (8714)_; [and] when thou shalt make an end <05239> (8687) to deal treacherously <0898> (8800)_, they shall deal treacherously <0898> (8799) with thee.
2O LORD <03068>_, be gracious <02603> (8798) unto us; we have waited <06960> (8765) for thee: be thou their arm <02220> every morning <01242>_, our salvation <03444> also in the time <06256> of trouble <06869>_.
3At the noise <06963> of the tumult <01995> the people <05971> fled <05074> (8804)_; at the lifting up <07427> of thyself the nations <01471> were scattered <05310> (8804)_.
4And your spoil <07998> shall be gathered <0622> (8795) [like] the gathering <0625> of the caterpiller <02625>_: as the running to and fro <04944> of locusts <01357> shall he run <08264> (8802) upon them.
5The LORD <03068> is exalted <07682> (8737)_; for he dwelleth <07931> (8802) on high <04791>_: he hath filled <04390> (8765) Zion <06726> with judgment <04941> and righteousness <06666>_.
6And wisdom <02451> and knowledge <01847> shall be the stability <0530> of thy times <06256>_, [and] strength <02633> of salvation <03444>_: the fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> [is] his treasure <0214>_. {salvation: Heb. salvations}
7Behold, their valiant ones <0691> shall cry <06817> (8804) without <02351>_: the ambassadors <04397> of peace <07965> shall weep <01058> (8799) bitterly <04751>_. {valiant...: or, messengers}
8The highways <04546> lie waste <08074> (8738)_, the wayfaring man <05674> (8802) <0734> ceaseth <07673> (8804)_: he hath broken <06565> (8689) the covenant <01285>_, he hath despised <03988> (8804) the cities <05892>_, he regardeth <02803> (8804) no man <0582>_.
9The earth <0776> mourneth <056> (8804) [and] languisheth <0535> (8797)_: Lebanon <03844> is ashamed <02659> (8689) [and] hewn down <07060> (8804)_: Sharon <08289> is like a wilderness <06160>_; and Bashan <01316> and Carmel <03760> shake off <05287> (8802) [their fruits]. {hewn...: or, withered away}
10Now will I rise <06965> (8799)_, saith <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068>_; now will I be exalted <07426> (8735)_; now will I lift up <05375> (8735) myself.
11Ye shall conceive <02029> (8799) chaff <02842>_, ye shall bring forth <03205> (8799) stubble <07179>_: your breath <07307>_, [as] fire <0784>_, shall devour <0398> (8799) you.
12And the people <05971> shall be [as] the burnings <04955> of lime <07875>_: [as] thorns <06975> cut up <03683> (8803) shall they be burned <03341> (8799) in the fire <0784>_.
13Hear <08085> (8798)_, ye [that are] far off <07350>_, what I have done <06213> (8804)_; and, ye [that are] near <07138>_, acknowledge <03045> (8798) my might <01369>_.
14The sinners <02400> in Zion <06726> are afraid <06342> (8804)_; fearfulness <07461> hath surprised <0270> (8804) the hypocrites <02611>_. Who among us shall dwell <01481> (8799) with the devouring <0398> (8802) fire <0784>_? who among us shall dwell <01481> (8799) with everlasting <05769> burnings <04168>_?
15He that walketh <01980> (8802) righteously <06666>_, and speaketh <01696> (8802) uprightly <04339>_; he that despiseth <03988> (8802) the gain <01215> of oppressions <04642>_, that shaketh <05287> (8802) his hands <03709> from holding <08551> (8800) of bribes <07810>_, that stoppeth <0331> (8801) his ears <0241> from hearing <08085> (8800) of blood <01818>_, and shutteth <06105> (8802) his eyes <05869> from seeing <07200> (8800) evil <07451>_; {righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
16He shall dwell <07931> (8799) on high <04791>_: his place of defence <04869> [shall be] the munitions <04679> of rocks <05553>_: bread <03899> shall be given <05414> (8737) him; his waters <04325> [shall be] sure <0539> (8737)_. {high: Heb. heights, or, high places}
17Thine eyes <05869> shall see <02372> (8799) the king <04428> in his beauty <03308>_: they shall behold <07200> (8799) the land <0776> that is very far off <04801>_. {that...: Heb. of far distances}
18Thine heart <03820> shall meditate <01897> (8799) terror <0367>_. Where [is] the scribe <05608> (8802)_? where [is] the receiver <08254> (8802)_? where [is] he that counted <05608> (8802) the towers <04026>_? {receiver: Heb. weigher?}
19Thou shalt not see <07200> (8799) a fierce <03267> (8737) people <05971>_, a people <05971> of a deeper <06012> speech <08193> than thou canst perceive <08085> (8800)_; of a stammering <03932> (8737) tongue <03956>_, [that thou canst] not understand <0998>_. {stammering: or, ridiculous}
20Look <02372> (8798) upon Zion <06726>_, the city <07151> of our solemnities <04150>_: thine eyes <05869> shall see <07200> (8799) Jerusalem <03389> a quiet <07600> habitation <05116>_, a tabernacle <0168> [that] shall not be taken down <06813> (8799)_; not one of the stakes <03489> thereof shall ever <05331> be removed <05265> (8799)_, neither shall any of the cords <02256> thereof be broken <05423> (8735)_.
21But there the glorious <0117> LORD <03068> [will be] unto us a place <04725> of broad <07342> <03027> rivers <05104> [and] streams <02975>_; wherein shall go <03212> (8799) no <01077> galley <0590> with oars <07885>_, neither shall gallant <0117> ship <06716> pass <05674> (8799) thereby. {of...: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands}
22For the LORD <03068> [is] our judge <08199> (8802)_, the LORD <03068> [is] our lawgiver <02710> (8781)_, the LORD <03068> [is] our king <04428>_; he will save <03467> (8686) us. {lawgiver: Heb. statutemaker}
23Thy tacklings <02256> are loosed <05203> (8738)_; they could not well <03653> strengthen <02388> (8762) their mast <08650>_, they could not spread <06566> (8804) the sail <05251>_: then is the prey <05706> of a great <04766> spoil <07998> divided <02505> (8795)_; the lame <06455> take <0962> (8804) the prey <0957>_. {Thy...: or, They have forsaken thy tacklings}
24And the inhabitant <07934> shall not say <0559> (8799)_, I am sick <02470> (8804)_: the people <05971> that dwell <03427> (8802) therein [shall be] forgiven <05375> (8803) [their] iniquity <05771>_.
