Chapter 2

1 I WILL stand upon my place and set me upon the rock tower, and I will watch to see what he will say to me and what I shall answer because of my chastisement.

2 And the LORD answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he who reads it may understand it clearly.

3 For the vision will come to pass at its appointed time, and it shall be fulfilled at the end, it shall not lie; and if it should delay, do not be impatient, because it will surely come, it will not delay.

4 For his soul does not delight in iniquity, but the righteous man shall live by faith.

5 The arrogant and greedy man is never satisfied, because he has enlarged his appetite like Sheol; and like death, he has never enough, but gathers to him all peoples, and draws near to him all the nations.

6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him who gathers and increases that which is not his! How long will he load himself with earthly goods?

7 Behold, they shall rise up suddenly, those who shall bite you, and awake those who shall cause you trouble, and you shall be for spoil to them.

8 Because you have plundered many nations, so the remnant of the people shall plunder you; because of men's blood and the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

9 Woe to him who defrauds and heaps up evil for himself, who sets his nest on high that he may be delivered from evil!

10 You have devised shame to your house, you have plundered many peoples and caused your soul to sin.

11 For the stone shall cry out from the wall, and the nail in the wood shall answer it.

12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!

13 All these things are from the LORD of hosts that the people shall labor in fire, and the nations shall labor in vain.

14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

15 Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink the dregs of fury, and makes them drunk that he may look on their nakedness!

16 You are filled with dishonor instead of glory; drink yourself also and stagger, for the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall come round to you, and shame shall cover your glory.

17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the plundering of the beasts shall trouble you because of the blood of men, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all who dwell therein.

18 What profit is a graven image that its maker has fashioned? The molten image is a false doctrine, for the heart of its maker trusts in it, to fashion a dumb idol

19 Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake! to the dumb stone, Arise! They are vain; even though they are overlaid with gold, there is no breath at all in them.

20 But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth tremble before him.

Chapter 2

1 I will stand5975 on my watch,4931 and set3320 me on the tower,4692 and will watch6822 to see7200 what4100 he will say1696 to me, and what4100 I shall answer7725 when5921 I am reproved.8433

2 And the LORD3068 answered6030 me, and said,559 Write3789 the vision,2377 and make it plain874 on tables,3871 that he may run7323 that reads7121 it.

3 For the vision2377 is yet5750 for an appointed4150 time, but at the end7093 it shall speak,6315 and not lie:3576 though518 it tarry,4102 wait2442 for it; because3588 it will surely come,935 it will not tarry.309

4 Behold,2009 his soul5315 which is lifted6075 up is not upright3474 in him: but the just6662 shall live2421 by his faith.530

5 Yes637 also,637 because3588 he transgresses898 by wine,3196 he is a proud3093 man,1397 neither3808 keeps at home,5115 who834 enlarges7337 his desire5315 as hell,7585 and is as death,4194 and cannot3808 be satisfied,7646 but gathers622 to him all3605 nations,1471 and heaps6908 to him all3605 people:5971

6 Shall not all3605 these428 take5375 up a parable4912 against5921 him, and a taunting4426 proverb2420 against him, and say,559 Woe1945 to him that increases7235 that which is not his! how5704 long?5704 and to him that lades3515 himself with thick clay!5671

7 Shall they not rise6965 up suddenly6621 that shall bite5391 you, and awake6974 that shall vex2111 you, and you shall be for booties4933 to them?

8 Because3588 you have spoiled7997 many7227 nations,1471 all3605 the remnant3499 of the people5971 shall spoil7997 you; because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 of the land,776 of the city,7151 and of all3605 that dwell3427 therein.

9 Woe1945 to him that covets1214 an evil7451 covetousness1215 to his house,1004 that he may set7760 his nest7064 on high,4791 that he may be delivered5337 from the power3709 of evil!7451

10 You have consulted3289 shame1322 to your house1004 by cutting7096 off many7227 people,5971 and have sinned2398 against your soul.5315

11 For the stone68 shall cry2199 out of the wall,7023 and the beam3714 out of the timber6086 shall answer6030 it.

12 Woe1945 to him that builds1129 a town5892 with blood,1818 and establishes3559 a city7151 by iniquity!5766

13 Behold,2009 is it not of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 that the people5971 shall labor3021 in the very1767 fire,784 and the people3816 shall weary3286 themselves for very1767 vanity?7385

14 For the earth776 shall be filled4390 with the knowledge3045 of the glory3519 of the LORD,3068 as the waters4325 cover3680 the sea.3220

15 Woe1945 to him that gives his neighbor7453 drink,8248 that put5596 your bottle2573 to him, and make him drunken7937 also,637 that you may look5027 on5921 their nakedness!4589

16 You are filled7646 with shame7036 for glory:3519 drink8354 you also,1571 and let your foreskin6188 be uncovered: the cup3563 of the LORD's3068 right3225 hand3225 shall be turned5437 to you, and shameful7022 spewing7022 shall be on5921 your glory.3519

17 For the violence2555 of Lebanon3844 shall cover3680 you, and the spoil7701 of beasts,929 which made them afraid,2865 because of men's120 blood,1818 and for the violence2555 of the land,776 of the city,7151 and of all3605 that dwell3427 therein.

18 What4100 profits3276 the graven6459 image6755 that the maker3335 thereof has graven6458 it; the molten4541 image,6755 and a teacher3384 of lies,8267 that the maker3335 of his work3336 trusts982 therein,5921 to make6213 dumb483 idols?457

19 Woe1945 to him that said559 to the wood,6086 Awake;6974 to the dumb1748 stone,68 Arise,5782 it shall teach!3384 Behold,2009 it is laid8610 over with gold2091 and silver,3701 and there is no369 breath7307 at all3605 in the middle7130 of it.

20 But the LORD3068 is in his holy6944 temple:1964 let all3605 the earth776 keep silence2013 before6440 him.

11 For the stone68 shall cry2199 out of the wall,7023 and the beam3714 out of the timber6086 shall answer6030 it.

12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!
