|
2:1 ¶
Woeº
to them that deviseºº
iniquity,º
and workºº
evilº
uponº
their beds!º
when the morningº
is light,º
they practiseºº
it, becauseº
it isº
in the powerº
of their hand.º |
|

And they desired fields, and plundered orphans, and oppressed families, and spoiled a man and his house, even a man and his inheritance. |
|
2:2
And they covetºº
fields,º
and take [them] by violence;ºº
and houses,º
and take [them] away:ºº
so they oppressºº
a manº

even a manº
and his heritage.º |

thusº
saithºº
Yahweh;º
Behold,º
againstº
thisº
familyº
do I deviseºº
an evil,º
fromºº
whichº
ye shall notº
removeºº
your necks;º
neitherº
shall ye goººº
haughtily:º
forº
thisº
timeº
[is] evil.º |
|
2:4 ¶
In that day shall a parable be taken up against you, and a plaintive lamentation shall be uttered, saying, We are thoroughly miserable: the portion of my people has been measured out with a line, and there was none to hinder him so as to turn him back; your fields have been divided. |
|
2:4 ¶
In thatº
dayº
shall [one] take upºº
a parableº
againstº
you, and lamentºº
with a dolefulº
lamentation,º
[and] say,ºº
We beº
utterlyºº
spoiled:ºº
he hath changedºº
the portionº
of my people:º
howº
hath he removedºº
[it] from me! turning awayººº
he hath dividedºº
our fields.º |
|
2:5
Therefore thou shalt have no one to cast a line for the lot. |
|
2:5
Thereforeº
thou shalt haveº
noneº
that shall castºº
a cordº
by lotº
in the congregationº
of Yahweh.º |

Prophesyºº
ye not,º
[say they to them that] prophesy:ºº
they shall notº
prophesyºº
to them,º
[that] they shall notº
takeºº
shame.º |
|
2:7 ¶
who says, The house of Jacob has provoked the Spirit of the Lord; are not these his practices? Are not the Lord's words right with him? and have they not proceeded correctly? |

2:7 ¶
O [thou that art] namedºº
the houseº
of Jacob,º
is the spiritº
of Yahwehº
straitened?ºº
[are] theseº
his doings?º
do notº
my wordsº
do goodºº
toº
him that walkethºº
uprightly?º |
|
2:8
Even beforetime my people withstood [him] as an enemy against his peace; they have stripped off his skin to remove hope [in] the conflict of war. |
|

my peopleº
is risen upºº
as an enemy:ºº
ye pull offºº
the robeº
withºº
the garmentº
from them that passºº
byºº
securelyº
as men averseºº
from war.º |

The womenº
of my peopleº
have ye cast outºº
from their pleasantº
houses;ºº
fromºº
their childrenº
have ye taken awayºº
my gloryº
for ever.º |
|
2:10
Arise thou, and depart; for this is not thy rest because of uncleanness: ye have been utterly destroyed; |
|
2:10
Ariseºº
ye, and depart;ººº
forº
thisº
[is] notº
[your] rest:º
becauseº
it is polluted,ºº
it shall destroyºº
[you], even with a soreºº
destruction.º |
|
2:11
ye have fled, no one pursuing [you: thy] spirit has framed falsehood, it has dropped on thee for wine and strong drink. But it shall come to pass, [that] out of the dropping of this people, |
|
2:11
Ifº
a manº
walkingºº
in the spiritº
and falsehoodº
do lie,ºº
[saying], I will prophesyºº
unto thee of wineº
and of strong drink;º
he shall even beº
the prophetºº
of thisº
people.º |
|
2:12 ¶
Jacob shall be completely gathered with all [his people]: I will surely receive the remnant of Israel; I will cause them to return together, as sheep in trouble, as a flock in the midst of their fold: they shall rush forth from among men through the breach made before them: |
|
2:12 ¶
I will surelyºº
assemble,ºº
O Jacob,º
allº
of thee; I will surelyºº
gatherºº
the remnantº
of Israel;º
I will putºº
them togetherº
as the sheepº
of Bozrah,ººº
as the flockº
in the midstº
of their fold:º
they shall make great noiseºº
by reason of [the multitude of] men.ºº |
|
2:13
they have broken through, and passed the gate, and gone out by it: and their king has gone out before them, and the Lord shall lead them. |
|

is come upºº
beforeº
them: they have broken up,ºº
and have passed throughºº
the gate,º
and are gone outºº
by it: and their kingº
shall passºº
beforeº
them, and Yahwehº
on the headº
of them. |
