¹ H8085 Hear [H8798]   H1697 ye the word H3068 which the LORD H1696 speaketh [H8765]   H1004 unto you, O house H3478 of Israel:

² H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H3925 , Learn [H8799]   H1870 not the way H1471 of the heathen H2865 , and be not dismayed [H8735]   H226 at the signs H8064 of heaven H1471 ; for the heathen H2865 are dismayed [H8735]   H1992 at them.

³ H2708 For the customs H5971 of the people H1892 are vain H3772 : for one cutteth [H8804]   H6086 a tree H3293 out of the forest H4639 , the work H3027 of the hands H2796 of the workman H4621 , with the axe.

⁴ H3302 They deck [H8762]   H3701 it with silver H2091 and with gold H2388 ; they fasten [H8762]   H4548 it with nails H4717 and with hammers H6328 , that it move [H8686]   not.

⁵ H4749 They are upright H8560 as the palm tree H1696 , but speak [H8762]   H5375 not: they must needs [H8800]   H5375 be borne [H8735]   H6805 , because they cannot go [H8799]   H3372 . Be not afraid [H8799]   H7489 of them; for they cannot do evil [H8686]   H3190 , neither also is it in them to do good [H8687]  .

⁶ H3068 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD H1419 ; thou art great H8034 , and thy name H1419 is great H1369 in might.

⁷ H3372 Who would not fear [H8799]   H4428 thee, O King H1471 of nations H2969 ? for to thee doth it appertain [H8804]   H2450 : forasmuch as among all the wise H1471 men of the nations H4438 , and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

⁸ H259 But they are altogether H1197 brutish [H8799]   H3688 and foolish [H8799]   H6086 : the stock H4148 is a doctrine H1892 of vanities.

⁹ H3701 Silver H7554 spread into plates [H8794]   H935 is brought [H8714]   H8659 from Tarshish H2091 , and gold H210 from Uphaz H4639 , the work H2796 of the workman H3027 , and of the hands H6884 of the founder [H8802]   H8504 : blue H713 and purple H3830 is their clothing H4639 : they are all the work H2450 of cunning men .

¹⁰ H3068 But the LORD H571 is the true H430 God H2416 , he is the living H430 God H5769 , and an everlasting H4428 king H7110 : at his wrath H776 the earth H7493 shall tremble [H8799]   H1471 , and the nations H3557 shall not be able to abide [H8686]   H2195 his indignation.

¹¹ H1836 Thus H560 shall ye say [H8748]   H426 unto them, The gods H3809 that have not H5648 made [H8754]   H8065 the heavens H778 and the earth H7 , even they shall perish [H8748]   H772 from the earth H8460 , and from under H429 these H8065 heavens.

¹² H6213 He hath made [H8802]   H776 the earth H3581 by his power H3559 , he hath established [H8688]   H8398 the world H2451 by his wisdom H5186 , and hath stretched out [H8804]   H8064 the heavens H8394 by his discretion.

¹³ H5414 When he uttereth [H8800]   H6963 his voice H1995 , there is a multitude H4325 of waters H8064 in the heavens H5387 , and he causeth the vapours H5927 to ascend [H8686]   H7097 from the ends H776 of the earth H6213 ; he maketh [H8804]   H1300 lightnings H4306 with rain H3318 , and bringeth forth [H8686]   H7307 the wind H214 out of his treasures.

¹⁴ H120 Every man H1197 is brutish [H8738]   H1847 in his knowledge H6884 : every founder [H8802]   H3001 is confounded [H8689]   H6459 by the graven image H5262 : for his molten image H8267 is falsehood H7307 , and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵ H1892 They are vanity H4639 , and the work H8595 of errors H6256 : in the time H6486 of their visitation H6 they shall perish [H8799]  .

¹⁶ H2506 The portion H3290 of Jacob H3335 is not like them: for he is the former [H8802]   H3478 of all things; and Israel H7626 is the rod H5159 of his inheritance H3068 : The LORD H6635 of hosts H8034 is his name.

¹⁷ H622 Gather up [H8798]   H3666 thy wares H776 out of the land H3427 , O inhabitant [H8802]   H4692 of the fortress.

¹⁸ H559 For thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7049 , Behold, I will sling [H8802]   H3427 out the inhabitants [H8802]   H776 of the land H6471 at this once H6887 , and will distress [H8689]   H4672 them, that they may find [H8799]   it so .

¹⁹ H188 Woe H7667 is me for my hurt H4347 ! my wound H2470 is grievous [H8737]   H559 : but I said [H8804]   H389 , Truly H2483 this is a grief H5375 , and I must bear [H8799]   it.

²⁰ H168 My tabernacle H7703 is spoiled [H8795]   H4340 , and all my cords H5423 are broken [H8738]   H1121 : my children H3318 are gone forth [H8804]   H5186 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth [H8802]   H168 my tent H6965 any more, and to set up [H8688]   H3407 my curtains.

²¹ H7462 For the pastors [H8802]   H1197 are become brutish [H8738]   H1875 , and have not sought [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7919 : therefore they shall not prosper [H8689]   H4830 , and all their flocks H6327 shall be scattered [H8738]  .

²² H6963 Behold, the noise H8052 of the bruit H935 is come [H8802]   H1419 , and a great H7494 commotion H6828 out of the north H776 country H7760 , to make [H8800]   H5892 the cities H3063 of Judah H8077 desolate H4583 , and a den H8577 of dragons.

²³ H3068 O LORD H3045 , I know [H8804]   H1870 that the way H120 of man H376 is not in himself: it is not in man H1980 that walketh [H8802]   H3559 to direct [H8687]   H6806 his steps.

²⁴ H3068 O LORD H3256 , correct [H8761]   H4941 me, but with judgment H639 ; not in thine anger H4591 , lest thou bring me to nothing [H8686]  .

²⁵ H8210 Pour out [H8798]   H2534 thy fury H1471 upon the heathen H3045 that know [H8804]   H4940 thee not, and upon the families H7121 that call [H8804]   H8034 not on thy name H398 : for they have eaten up [H8804]   H3290 Jacob H398 , and devoured [H8804]   H3615 him, and consumed [H8762]   H5116 him, and have made his habitation H8074 desolate [H8689]  .
