Micah 1
1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came <1961> to Micah
<4318> the Morasthite <4183> in the days <3117> of Jotham <3147>,
Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah <2396>, kings <4428> of Judah
<3063>, which <0834> he saw <2372> concerning <5921> Samaria
<8111> and Jerusalem <3389>.
2 Hear <8085>, all <3605> ye people <5971>; hearken <7181>, O
earth <0776>, and all <4393> that therein <4393> is: and let the
Lord <0136> GOD <3069> be witness <5707> against you, the Lord
<0136> from his holy <6944> temple <1964>.
3 For, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> cometh <3318> forth
<3318> out of his place <4725>, and will come <3381> down <3381>,
and tread <1869> upon the high <1116> places of the earth
<0776>.
4 And the mountains <2022> shall be molten <4549> under <8478>
him, and the valleys <6010> shall be cleft <1234>, as wax <1749>
before <6440> the fire <0784>, [and] as the waters <4325> [that
are] poured <5064> down a steep <4174> place.
5 For the transgression <6588> of Jacob <3290> [is] all <3605>
this <2063>, and for the sins <2403> of the house <1004> of
Israel <3478>. What <4310> [is] the transgression <6588> of
Jacob <3290>? [is it] not Samaria <8111>? and what <4310> [are]
the high <1116> places of Judah <3063>? [are they] not Jerusalem
<3389>?
6 Therefore I will make <7760> Samaria <8111> as an heap <5856>
of the field <7704>, [and] as plantings <4302> of a vineyard
<3754>: and I will pour <5064> down the stones <68> thereof into
the valley <1516>, and I will discover <1540> the foundations
<3247> thereof.
7 And all <3605> the graven <6456> images thereof shall be
beaten <3807> to pieces, and all <3605> the hires <0868> thereof
shall be burned <8313> with the fire <0784>, and all <3605> the
idols <6091> thereof will I lay <7760> desolate <8077>: for she
gathered <6908> [it] of the hire <0868> of an harlot <2181>, and
they shall return <7725> to the hire <0868> of an harlot <2181>.
8. Therefore I will wail <5594> and howl <3213>, I will go
<3212> stripped <7758> and naked <6174>: I will make <6213> a
wailing <4553> like the dragons <8577>, and mourning <60> as the
owls.
9 For her wound <4347> [is] incurable <0605>; for it is come
<0935> unto Judah <3063>; he is come <5060> unto the gate <8179>
of my people <5971>, [even] to Jerusalem <3389>.
10 Declare <5046> ye [it] not at Gath <1661>, weep <1058> ye
not at all: in the house <1035> of Aphrah <1036> roll <6428>
thyself in the dust <6083>.
11 Pass <5674> ye away, thou inhabitant <3427> of Saphir <8208>,
having thy shame <1322> naked <6181>: the inhabitant <3427> of
Zaanan came <3318> not forth <3318> in the mourning <4553> of
Bethezel <1018>; he shall receive <3947> of you his standing
<5979>.
12 For the inhabitant <3427> of Maroth <4796> waited <2342>
carefully <2470> for good <2896>: but evil <7451> came <3381>
down <3381> from the LORD <3068> unto the gate <8179> of
Jerusalem <3389>.
13 O thou inhabitant <3427> of Lachish <3923>, bind <7573> the
chariot <4818> to the swift <7409> beast <7409>: she [is] the
beginning <7225> of the sin <2403> to the daughter <1323> of
Zion <6726>: for the transgressions <6588> of Israel <3478> were
found <4672> in thee.
14 Therefore <3651> shalt thou give <5414> presents <7964> to
Moreshethgath <4182>: the houses <1004> of Achzib <0392> [shall
be] a lie <0391> to the kings <4428> of Israel <3478>.
15 Yet <5750> will I bring <0935> an heir <3423> unto thee, O
inhabitant <3427> of Mareshah <4762>: he shall come <0935> unto
Adullam <5725> the glory <3519> of Israel <3478>.
16 Make thee bald <7139>, and poll <1494> thee for thy delicate
<8588> children <1121>; enlarge <7337> thy baldness <7144> as
the eagle <5404>; for they are gone into captivity <1540> from
thee.
Micah 2
1. Woe <1945> to them that devise <2803> iniquity <0205>, and
work <6466> evil <7451> upon their beds <4904>! when the morning
<1242> is light <0216>, they practise <6213> it, because <3588>
it is in the power <0410> of their hand <3027>.
2 And they covet <2530> fields <7704>, and take <5375> [them]
by violence <1497>; and houses <1004>, and take <5375> [them]
away <7726>: so they oppress <6231> a man <1397> and his house
<1004>, even a man <0376> and his heritage <5159>.
3 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
Behold <2005>, against <5921> this <2063> family <4940> do I
devise <2803> an evil <7451>, from which <0834> ye shall not
remove <4185> your necks <6677>; neither <3808> shall ye go
<3212> haughtily <7317>: for this <1931> time <6256> [is] evil
<7451>.
4 In that day <3117> shall [one] take <5375> up a parable
<4912> against <5921> you, and lament <5091> with a doleful
<5093> lamentation <5092>, [and] say <0559>, We be utterly
<7703> spoiled <7703>: he hath changed <4171> the portion <2506>
of my people <5971>: how <0349> hath he removed <4185> [it] from
me! turning <7725> away he hath divided <2505> our fields <7704>.
5 Therefore <3651> thou shalt have <1961> none <3808> that
shall cast <7993> a cord <2256> by lot <1486> in the
congregation <6951> of the LORD <3068>.
6. Prophesy <5197> ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy
<5197>: they shall not prophesy <5197> to them, [that] they
shall not take <5253> shame <3639>.
7 O [thou that art] named <0559> the house <1004> of Jacob
<3290>, is the spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068> straitened
<7114>? [are] these <0428> his doings <4611>? do not my words
<1697> do good <3190> to him that walketh <1980> uprightly
<3477>?
8 Even of late <0865> my people <5971> is risen <6965> up as an
enemy <0341>: ye pull <6584> off the robe <0145> with the
garment <8008> from them that pass <5674> by securely <0983> as
men averse <7725> from war <4421>.
9 The women <0802> of my people <5971> have ye cast <1644> out
from their pleasant <8588> houses <1004>; from their children
<5768> have ye taken <3947> away my glory <1926> for ever <5769>.
10 Arise <6965> ye, and depart <3212>; for this <2063> [is] not
[your] rest <4496>: because <5668> it is polluted <2930>, it
shall destroy <2254> [you], even with a sore <4834> destruction
<2256>.
11 If <5863> a man <0376> walking <1980> in the spirit <7307>
and falsehood <8267> do lie <3576>, [saying], I will prophesy
<5197> unto thee of wine <3196> and of strong <7941> drink
<7941>; he shall even be the prophet <5197> of this <2088>
people <5971>.
12. I will surely assemble <0622>, O Jacob <3290>, all <3605>
of thee; I will surely gather <6908> the remnant <7611> of
Israel <3478>; I will put <7760> them together <3162> as the
sheep <6629> of Bozrah <1224>, as the flock <5739> in the midst
<8432> of their fold <1699>: they shall make great noise <1949>
by reason of [the multitude of] men <0120>.
13 The breaker <6555> is come <5927> up before <6440> them:
they have broken <6555> up, and have passed <5674> through the
gate <8179>, and are gone <3318> out by it: and their king
<4428> shall pass <5674> before <6440> them, and the LORD <3068>
on the head <7218> of them.
Micah 3
1. And I said <0559>, Hear <8085>, I pray <4994> you, O heads
<7218> of Jacob <3290>, and ye princes <7101> of the house
<1004> of Israel <3478>; [Is it] not for you to know <3045>
judgment <4941>?
2 Who <4310> hate <8130> the good <2896>, and love <0157> the
evil <7451>; who <4310> pluck <1497> off their skin <5785> from
off them, and their flesh <7607> from off <5921> their bones
<6106>;
3 Who <4310> also eat <0398> the flesh <7607> of my people
<5971>, and flay <6584> their skin <5785> from off <5921> them;
and they break <6746> their bones <6106>, and chop <6566> them
in pieces, as for the pot <5518>, and as flesh <1320> within
<8432> the caldron <7037>.
4 Then <0227> shall they cry <2199> unto the LORD <3068>, but
he will not hear <6030> them: he will even hide <5641> his face
<6440> from them at that time <6256>, as they have behaved
<7489> themselves ill <7489> in their doings <4611>.
5 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning <5921>
the prophets <5030> that make my people <5971> err <8582>, that
bite <5391> with their teeth <8127>, and cry <7121>, Peace
<7965>; and he that putteth <5414> not into <5921> their mouths
<6310>, they even prepare <6942> war <4421> against <5921> him.
6 Therefore <3651> night <3915> [shall be] unto you, that ye
shall not have a vision <2377>; and it shall be dark <2821> unto
you, that ye shall not divine <7080>; and the sun <8121> shall
go <0935> down over <5921> the prophets <5030>, and the day
<3117> shall be dark <6937> over <5921> them.
7 Then shall the seers <2374> be ashamed <0954>, and the
diviners <7080> confounded <2659>: yea, they shall all <3605>
cover <5844> their lips <8222>; for [there is] no <0369> answer
<4617> of God <0430>.
8. But truly <0199> I am full <4390> of power <3581> by the
spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068>, and of judgment <4941>, and of
might <1369>, to declare <5046> unto Jacob <3290> his
transgression <6588>, and to Israel <3478> his sin <2403>.
9 Hear <8085> this <2063>, I pray <4994> you, ye heads <7218>
of the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, and princes <7101> of the
house <1004> of Israel <3478>, that abhor <8581> judgment <4941>,
and pervert <6140> all <3605> equity <3477>.
10 They build <1129> up Zion <6726> with blood <1818>, and
Jerusalem <3389> with iniquity <5766>.
11 The heads <7218> thereof judge <8199> for reward <7810>, and
the priests <3548> thereof teach <3384> for hire <4242>, and the
prophets <5030> thereof divine <7080> for money <3701>: yet will
they lean <8172> upon the LORD <3068>, and say <0559>, [Is] not
the LORD <3068> among <7130> us? none <3808> evil <7451> can
come <0935> upon us.
12 Therefore <3651> shall Zion <6726> for your sake <1558> be
plowed <2790> [as] a field <7704>, and Jerusalem <3389> shall
become <1961> heaps <5856>, and the mountain <2022> of the house
<1004> as the high <1116> places of the forest <3293>.
Micah 4
1. But in the last <0319> days <3117> it shall come <1961> to
pass, [that] the mountain <2022> of the house <1004> of the LORD
<3068> shall be established <3559> in the top <7218> of the
mountains <2022>, and it shall be exalted <5375> above the hills
<1389>; and people <5971> shall flow <5102> unto it.
2 And many <7227> nations <1471> shall come <1980>, and say
<0559>, Come <3212>, and let us go <5927> up to the mountain
<2022> of the LORD <3068>, and to the house <1004> of the God
<0430> of Jacob <3290>; and he will teach <3384> us of his ways
<1870>, and we will walk <3212> in his paths <0734>: for the law
<8451> shall go <3318> forth <3318> of Zion <6726>, and the word
<1697> of the LORD <3068> from Jerusalem <3389>.
3 And he shall judge <8199> among <0996> many <7227> people
<5971>, and rebuke <3198> strong <6099> nations <1471> afar
<7350> off; and they shall beat <3807> their swords <2719> into
plowshares <0855>, and their spears <2595> into pruninghooks
<4211>: nation <1471> shall not lift <5375> up a sword <2719>
against <0413> nation <1471>, neither <3808> shall they learn
<3925> war <4421> any more <5750>.
4 But they shall sit <3427> every man <0376> under <8478> his
vine <1612> and under <8478> his fig <8384> tree; and none
<0369> shall make [them] afraid <2729>: for the mouth <6310> of
the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath spoken <1696> [it].
5 For all <3605> people <5971> will walk <3212> every <0376>
one <0376> in the name <8034> of his god <0430>, and we will
walk <3212> in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>
for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.
6 In that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, will I
assemble <0622> her that halteth <6761>, and I will gather
<6908> her that is driven <5080> out, and her that I have
afflicted <7489>;
7 And I will make <7760> her that halted <6761> a remnant
<7611>, and her that was cast <1972> far off a strong <6099>
nation <1471>: and the LORD <3068> shall reign <4427> over
<5921> them in mount <2022> Zion <6726> from henceforth, even
for ever <5769>.
8. And thou, O tower <4026> of the flock <5739>, the strong
<6076> hold <5076> of the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, unto
thee shall it come <0857>, even the first <7223> dominion <4475>;
the kingdom <4467> shall come <0935> to the daughter <1323> of
Jerusalem <3389>.
9 Now <6258> why <4100> dost thou cry <7321> out aloud <7452>?
[is there] no <0369> king <4428> in thee? is thy counsellor
<3289> perished <6>? for pangs <2427> have taken <2388> thee as
a woman in travail <3205>.
10 Be in pain <2342>, and labour <1518> to bring <1518> forth
<1518>, O daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, like a woman in
travail <3205>: for now <6258> shalt thou go <3318> forth <3318>
out of the city <7151>, and thou shalt dwell <7931> in the field
<7704>, and thou shalt go <0935> [even] to Babylon <0894>; there
shalt thou be delivered <5337>; there <8033> the LORD <3068>
shall redeem <1350> thee from the hand <3709> of thine enemies
<0341>.
11 Now <6258> also many <7227> nations <1471> are gathered
<0622> against <5921> thee, that say <0559>, Let her be defiled
<2610>, and let our eye <5869> look <2372> upon Zion <6726>.
12 But they know <3045> not the thoughts <4284> of the LORD
<3068>, neither <3808> understand <0995> they his counsel <6098>:
for he shall gather <6908> them as the sheaves <5995> into the
floor <1637>.
13 Arise <6965> and thresh <1758>, O daughter <1323> of Zion
<6726>: for I will make <7760> thine horn <7161> iron <1270>,
and I will make <7760> thy hoofs <6541> brass <5154>: and thou
shalt beat <1854> in pieces many <7227> people <5971>: and I
will consecrate <2763> their gain <1214> unto the LORD <3068>,
and their substance <2428> unto the Lord <0113> of the whole
<3605> earth <0776>.
Micah 5
1. Now <6258> gather <1413> thyself in troops <1416>, O
daughter <1323> of troops <1416>: he hath laid <7760> siege
<4692> against <5921> us: they shall smite <5221> the judge
<8199> of Israel <3478> with a rod <7626> upon the cheek <3895>.
2 But thou, Bethlehem <1035> Ephratah <0672>, [though] thou be
little <6810> among the thousands <0505> of Judah <3063>, [yet]
out of thee shall he come <3318> forth <3318> unto me [that is]
to be ruler <4910> in Israel <3478>; whose goings <4163> forth
<4163> [have been] from of old <6924>, from everlasting <5769>.
3 Therefore <3651> will he give <5414> them up, until <5704>
the time <6256> [that] she which travaileth <3205> hath brought
<3205> forth <3205>: then the remnant <3199> of his brethren
<0251> shall return <7725> unto the children <1121> of Israel
<3478>.
4 And he shall stand <5975> and feed <7462> in the strength
<5797> of the LORD <3068>, in the majesty <1347> of the name
<8034> of the LORD <3068> his God <0430>; and they shall abide
<3427>: for now <6258> shall he be great <1431> unto the ends
<0657> of the earth <0776>.
5 And this <2088> [man] shall be the peace <7965>, when <3588>
the Assyrian <0804> shall come <0935> into our land <0776>: and
when <3588> he shall tread <1869> in our palaces <0759>, then
shall we raise <6965> against <5921> him seven <7651> shepherds
<7462>, and eight <8083> principal <5257> men <0120>.
6 And they shall waste <7489> the land <0776> of Assyria <0804>
with the sword <2719>, and the land <0776> of Nimrod <5248> in
the entrances <6607> thereof: thus shall he deliver <5337> [us]
from the Assyrian <0804>, when <3588> he cometh <0935> into our
land <0776>, and when <3588> he treadeth <1869> within our
borders <1366>.
7. And the remnant <7611> of Jacob <3290> shall be in the midst
<7130> of many <7227> people <5971> as a dew <2919> from the
LORD <3068>, as the showers <7241> upon the grass <6212>, that
tarrieth <6960> not for man <0376>, nor <3808> waiteth <3176>
for the sons <1121> of men <0120>.
8 And the remnant <7611> of Jacob <3290> shall be among the
Gentiles <1471> in the midst <7130> of many <7227> people <5971>
as a lion <0738> among the beasts <0929> of the forest <3293>,
as a young <3715> lion <3715> among the flocks <5739> of sheep
<6629>: who <0834>, if <0518> he go <5674> through <5674>, both
treadeth <7429> down, and teareth <2963> in pieces, and none
<0369> can deliver <5337>.
9 Thine hand <3027> shall be lifted <7311> up upon thine
adversaries <6862>, and all thine enemies <0341> shall be cut
<3772> off.
10 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will cut <3772> off thy horses
<5483> out of the midst <7130> of thee, and I will destroy <6>
thy chariots <4818>:
11 And I will cut <3772> off the cities <5892> of thy land
<0776>, and throw <2040> down <2040> all <3605> thy strong
<4013> holds <4013>:
12 And I will cut <3772> off witchcrafts <3785> out of thine
hand <3027>; and thou shalt have <1961> no <3808> [more]
soothsayers <6049>:
13 Thy graven <6456> images <4676> also will I cut <3772> off,
and thy standing <4676> images out of the midst <7130> of thee;
and thou shalt no <3808> more <5750> worship <7812> the work
<4639> of thine hands <3027>.
14 And I will pluck <5428> up thy groves <0842> out of the
midst <7130> of thee: so will I destroy <8045> thy cities <5892>.
15 And I will execute <6213> vengeance <5359> in anger <0639>
and fury <2534> upon the heathen <1471>, such as they have not
heard <8085>.
Micah 6
1. Hear <8085> ye now <4994> what <0834> the LORD <3068> saith
<0559>; Arise <6965>, contend <7678> thou before <0854> the
mountains <2022>, and let the hills <1389> hear <8085> thy voice
<6963>.
2 Hear <8085> ye, O mountains <2022>, the LORD'S <3068>
controversy <7379>, and ye strong <0386> foundations <4146> of
the earth <0776>: for the LORD <3068> hath a controversy <7379>
with his people <5971>, and he will plead <3198> with Israel
<3478>.
3 O my people <5971>, what <4100> have I done <6213> unto thee?
and wherein <4100> have I wearied <3811> thee? testify <6030>
against me.
4 For I brought <5927> thee up out of the land <0776> of Egypt
<4714>, and redeemed <6299> thee out of the house <1004> of
servants <5650>; and I sent <7971> before <6440> thee Moses
<4872>, Aaron <0175>, and Miriam <4813>.
5 O my people <5971>, remember <2142> now <4994> what <4100>
Balak <1111> king <4428> of Moab <4124> consulted <3289>, and
what <4100> Balaam <1109> the son <1121> of Beor <1160> answered
<6030> him from Shittim <7851> unto Gilgal <1537>; that ye may
know <3045> the righteousness <6666> of the LORD <3068>.
6. Wherewith <4100> shall I come <6923> before <6924> the LORD
<3068>, [and] bow <3721> myself before the high <4791> God
<0430>? shall I come <6923> before <6924> him with burnt <5930>
offerings, with calves <5695> of a year <8141> old <1121>?
7 Will the LORD <3068> be pleased <7521> with thousands <0505>
of rams <0352>, [or] with ten <7233> thousands <7233> of rivers
<5158> of oil <8081>? shall I give <5414> my firstborn <1060>
[for] my transgression <6588>, the fruit <6529> of my body
<0990> [for] the sin <2403> of my soul <5315>?
8 He hath shewed <5046> thee, O man <0120>, what <4100> [is]
good <2896>; and what <4100> doth the LORD <3068> require <1875>
of thee, but to do <6213> justly <4941>, and to love <0160>
mercy <2617>, and to walk <3212> humbly <6800> with thy God
<0430>?
9. The LORD'S <3068> voice <6963> crieth <7121> unto the city
<5892>, and [the man of] wisdom <8454> shall see <7200> thy name
<8034>: hear <8085> ye the rod <4294>, and who <4310> hath
appointed <3259> it.
10 Are there yet <5750> the treasures <0214> of wickedness
<7562> in the house <1004> of the wicked <7563>, and the scant
<7332> measure <0374> [that is] abominable <2194>?
11 Shall I count [them] pure <2135> with the wicked <7562>
balances <3976>, and with the bag <3599> of deceitful <4820>
weights <68>?
12 For the rich <6223> men thereof are full <4390> of violence
<2555>, and the inhabitants <3427> thereof have spoken <1696>
lies <8267>, and their tongue <3956> [is] deceitful <7423> in
their mouth <6310>.
13 Therefore also <1571> will I make [thee] sick <2470> in
smiting <5221> thee, in making [thee] desolate <8074> because
<5921> of thy sins <2403>.
14 Thou shalt eat <0398>, but not be satisfied <7646>; and thy
casting <3445> down [shall be] in the midst <7130> of thee; and
thou shalt take <5253> hold <5253>, but shalt not deliver <6403>;
and [that] which <0834> thou deliverest <6403> will I give
<5414> up to the sword <2719>.
15 Thou shalt sow <2232>, but thou shalt not reap <7114>; thou
shalt tread <1869> the olives <2132>, but thou shalt not anoint
<5480> thee with oil <8081>; and sweet <8492> wine <8492>, but
shalt not drink <8354> wine <3196>.
16 For the statutes <2708> of Omri <6018> are kept <8104>, and
all <3605> the works <4639> of the house <1004> of Ahab <0256>,
and ye walk <3212> in their counsels <4156>; that I should make
<5414> thee a desolation <8047>, and the inhabitants <3427>
thereof an hissing <8322>: therefore ye shall bear <5375> the
reproach <2781> of my people <5971>.
Micah 7
1. Woe <0480> is me! for I am as when they have gathered <0622>
the summer <7019> fruits, as the grapegleanings <5955> of the
vintage <1210>: [there is] no <0369> cluster <0811> to eat
<0398>: my soul <5315> desired <0183> the firstripe <1063> fruit.
2 The good <2623> [man] is perished <6> out of the earth <0776>:
and [there is] none <0369> upright <3477> among men <0120>:
they all <3605> lie in wait <0693> for blood <1818>; they hunt
<6679> every man <0376> his brother <0251> with a net <2764>.
3 That they may do evil <7451> with both hands <3709> earnestly
<3190>, the prince <8269> asketh <7592>, and the judge <8199>
[asketh <7592>] for a reward <7966>; and the great <1419> [man],
he uttereth <1696> his mischievous <1942> desire <5315>: so they
wrap <5686> it up.
4 The best <2896> of them [is] as a brier <2312>: the most
upright <3477> [is sharper] than a thorn <4534> hedge <4534>:
the day <3117> of thy watchmen <6822> [and] thy visitation
<6486> cometh <0935>; now <6258> shall be their perplexity
<3998>.
5 Trust <0539> ye not in a friend <7453>, put ye not confidence
<0982> in a guide <0441>: keep <8104> the doors <6607> of thy
mouth <6310> from her that lieth <7901> in thy bosom <2436>.
6 For the son <1121> dishonoureth <5034> the father <2>, the
daughter <1323> riseth <6965> up against her mother <0517>, the
daughter <3618> in law <3618> against her mother <2545> in law
<2545>; a man's <0376> enemies <0341> [are] the men <0582> of
his own house <1004>.
7. Therefore I will look <6822> unto the LORD <3068>; I will
wait <3176> for the God <0430> of my salvation <3468>: my God
<0430> will hear <8085> me.
8 Rejoice <8056> not against me, O mine enemy <0341>: when
<3588> I fall <5307>, I shall arise <6965>; when I sit <3427> in
darkness <2822>, the LORD <3068> [shall be] a light <0216> unto
me.
9 I will bear <5375> the indignation <2197> of the LORD <3068>,
because <3588> I have sinned <2398> against him, until <5704> he
plead <7378> my cause <7379>, and execute <6213> judgment <4941>
for me: he will bring <3318> me forth <3318> to the light <0216>,
[and] I shall behold <7200> his righteousness <6666>.
10 Then [she that is] mine enemy <0341> shall see <7200> [it],
and shame <0955> shall cover <3680> her which said <0559> unto
me, Where <0346> is the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>? mine eyes
<5869> shall behold <7200> her: now <6258> shall she be trodden
<4823> down as the mire <2916> of the streets <2351>.
11 [In] the day <3117> that thy walls <1447> are to be built
<1129>, [in] that day <3117> shall the decree <2706> be far
<7368> removed.
12 [In] that day <3117> [also] he shall come <0935> even to
thee from Assyria <0804>, and [from] the fortified <4692> cities
<5892>, and from the fortress <4693> even to the river <5104>,
and from sea <3220> to sea <3220>, and [from] mountain <2022> to
mountain <2022>.
13 Notwithstanding the land <0776> shall be desolate <8077>
because <5921> of them that dwell <3427> therein, for the fruit
<6529> of their doings <4611>.
14. Feed <7462> thy people <5971> with thy rod <7626>, the
flock <6629> of thine heritage <5159>, which dwell <7931>
solitarily <0910> [in] the wood <3293>, in the midst <8432> of
Carmel <3760>: let them feed <7462> [in] Bashan <1316> and
Gilead <1568>, as in the days <3117> of old <5769>.
15 According to the days <3117> of thy coming <3318> out of the
land <0776> of Egypt <4714> will I shew <7200> unto him
marvellous <6381> [things].
16 The nations <1471> shall see <7200> and be confounded <0954>
at all <3605> their might <1369>: they shall lay <7760> [their]
hand <3027> upon [their] mouth <6310>, their ears <0241> shall
be deaf <2790>.
17 They shall lick <3897> the dust <6083> like a serpent <5175>,
they shall move <7264> out of their holes <4526> like worms
<2119> of the earth <0776>: they shall be afraid <6342> of the
LORD <3068> our God <0430>, and shall fear <3372> because of
thee.
18 Who <4310> [is] a God <0410> like <3644> unto thee, that
pardoneth <5375> iniquity <5771>, and passeth <5674> by the
transgression <6588> of the remnant <7611> of his heritage
<5159>? he retaineth <2388> not his anger <0639> for ever <5706>,
because <3588> he delighteth <2654> [in] mercy <2617>.
19 He will turn <7725> again <7725>, he will have compassion
<7355> upon us; he will subdue <3533> our iniquities <5771>; and
thou wilt cast <7993> all <3605> their sins <2403> into the
depths <4688> of the sea <3220>.
20 Thou wilt perform <5414> the truth <0571> to Jacob <3290>,
[and] the mercy <2617> to Abraham <85>, which <0834> thou hast
sworn <7650> unto our fathers <1> from the days <3117> of old
<6924>.
