  7:1 ¶
Alas for me! for I am become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as [one gathering] grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul! |
|
7:1 ¶
Woe°
is me! for°
I am°
as when they have gathered°
the summer fruits,°
as the grapegleanings°
of the vintage:°
[there is] no°
cluster°
to eat:°°
my soul°
desired°°
the firstripe fruit.° |
|
7:2
For the godly is perished from the earth; and there is none among men that orders [his way] aright: they all quarrel even to blood: they grievously afflict every one his neighbour: |
|
7:2
The good°
[man] is perished°°
out of°
the earth:°
and [there is] none°
upright°
among men:°
they all°
lie in wait°°
for blood;°
they hunt°°
every man°°
his brother°
with a net.° |
|
7:3 ¶
they prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks [a reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul: |
|
7:3 ¶
That they may do evil°°
with both hands°
earnestly,°°
the prince°
asketh,°°
and the judge°°
[asketh] for a reward;°
and the great°
[man], he°
uttereth°°
his mischievous°
desire:°
so they wrap it up.°° |
|
7:4
therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a [rigid] rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, thy times of vengeance are come; now shall be their lamentations. |
|
7:4
The best°
of them [is] as a brier:°
the most upright°
[is sharper] than a thorn hedge:°°
the day°
of thy watchmen°°
[and] thy visitation°
cometh;°°
now°
shall be°
their perplexity.° |
|
7:5 ¶
Trust not in friends, and confide not in guides: beware of thy wife, so as not to commit anything to her. |
|
7:5 ¶
Trust°°
ye not°
in a friend,°
put ye not confidence°°°
in a guide:°
keep°°
the doors°
of thy mouth°
from her that lieth°°°
in thy bosom.° |
|
7:6
For the son dishonours his father, the daughter will rise up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: those in his house [shall be] all a man's enemies. |
|
7:6
For°
the son°
dishonoureth°°
the father,°
the daughter°
riseth up°°
against her mother,°
the daughter in law°
against her mother in law;°
a man's°
enemies°°
[are] the men°°
of his own house.° |
|
7:7
But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Saviour: my God will hearken to me. |
|
7:7
Therefore I°
will look°°
unto Yahweh;°
I will wait°°
for the Elohim°
of my salvation:°
my Elohim°
will hear°°
me. |
|
7:8 ¶
Rejoice not against me, mine enemy; for I have fallen [yet] shall arise; for though I should sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me. |
|
7:8 ¶
Rejoice°°
not°
against me, O mine enemy:°°
when°
I fall,°°
I shall arise;°°

unto me. |

the indignation°
of Yahweh,°
because°

my cause,°
and execute°°
judgment°
for me: he will bring me forth°°
to the light,°
[and] I shall behold°°
his righteousness.° |
|
7:10
And she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shall clothe herself with shame, who says, Where [is] the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall look upon her: now shall she be for trampling as mire in the ways. |
|
7:10
Then [she that is] mine enemy°°
shall see°°
[it], and shame°
shall cover°°
her which said°°
unto°
me, Where°
is Yahweh°
thy Elohim?°
mine eyes°
shall behold°°
her: now°
shall she be°
trodden down°
as the mire°
of the streets.° |
|
7:11
[It is] the day of making of brick; that day shall be thine utter destruction, and that day shall utterly abolish thine ordinances. |

day°
shall the decree°
be far removed.°° |

day°
[also] he shall come°°
even to°
thee from°
Assyria,°
and [from] the fortified°
cities,°
and from°
the fortress°
even to°
the river,°
and from sea°
to sea,°°
and [from] mountain°
to mountain.° |

7:13
And the land shall be utterly desolate together with them that inhabit it, because of the fruit of their doings. |
|
7:13
Notwithstanding the land°
shall be°
desolate°
because of°
them that dwell°°
therein, for the fruit°°
of their doings.° |
|
7:14 ¶
Tend thy people with thy rod, the sheep of thine inheritance, those that inhabit by themselves the thicket in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in the land of Bashan{gr.Basan}, and in the land of Gilead{gr.Galaad}, as in the days of old. |
|
7:14 ¶
Feed°°
thy people°
with thy rod,°
the flock°
of thine heritage,°
which dwell°°
solitarily°
[in] the wood,°
in the midst°
of Carmel:°
let them feed°°
[in] Bashan°
and Gilead,°
as in the days°
of old.° |

of the land°°
of Egypt°
will I shew°°
unto him marvellous°°
[things]. |

shall see°°
and be confounded°°
at all°°
their might:°
they shall lay°°
[their] hand°
upon°
[their] mouth,°
their ears°
shall be deaf.°° |
|
7:17
They shall lick the dust as serpents crawling on the earth, they shall be confounded in their holes; they shall be amazed at the Lord our God, and will be afraid of thee. |
|
7:17
They shall lick°°
the dust°
like a serpent,°
they shall move°°
out of their holes°°
like worms°°
of the earth:°
they shall be afraid°°
of°
Yahweh°
our Elohim,°
and shall fear°°
because of°
thee. |
|
7:18
Who is a God like thee, cancelling iniquities, and passing over the sins of the remnant of his inheritance? and he has not kept his anger for a testimony, for he delights in mercy. |
|
7:18
Who°
[is] an El°
like unto thee,°
that pardoneth°°
iniquity,°
and passeth by°°°
the transgression°
of the remnant°
