| 2:1 | I will stand <05975> (8799) upon my watch <04931>, and set <03320> (8691) me upon the tower <04692>, and will watch <06822> (8762) to see <07200> (8800) what he will say <01696> (8762) unto me, and what I shall answer <07725> (8686) when I am reproved <08433>. {tower: Heb. fenced place} {unto me: or, in me} {when...: or, when I am argued with: Heb. upon my reproof, or, arguing} |
| 2:2 | And the LORD <03068> answered <06030> (8799) me, and said <0559> (8799), Write <03789> (8798) the vision <02377>, and make [it] plain <0874> (8761) upon tables <03871>, that he may run <07323> (8799) that readeth <07121> (8802) it. |
| 2:3 | For the vision <02377> [is] yet for an appointed time <04150>, but at the end <07093> it shall speak <06315> (8686), and not lie <03576> (8762): though it tarry <04102> (8698), wait <02442> (8761) for it; because it will surely <0935> (8800) come <0935> (8799), it will not tarry <0309> (8762). |
| 2:4 | Behold, his soul <05315> [which] is lifted up <06075> (8795) is not upright <03474> (8804) in him: but the just <06662> shall live <02421> (8799) by his faith <0530>. |
| 2:5 | Yea also, because he transgresseth <0898> (8802) by wine <03196>, [he is] a proud <03093> man <01397>, neither keepeth at home <05115> (8799), who enlargeth <07337> (8689) his desire <05315> as hell <07585>, and [is] as death <04194>, and cannot be satisfied <07646> (8799), but gathereth <0622> (8799) unto him all nations <01471>, and heapeth <06908> (8799) unto him all people <05971>: {Yea...: or, How much more} |
| 2:6 | Shall not all these take up <05375> (8799) a parable <04912> against him, and a taunting <04426> proverb <02420> against him, and say <0559> (8799), Woe <01945> to him that increaseth <07235> (8688) [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth <03513> (8688) himself with thick clay <05671>! {Woe...: or, Ho, he} |
| 2:7 | Shall they not rise up <06965> (8799) suddenly <06621> that shall bite <05391> (8802) thee, and awake <03364> (8799) that shall vex <02111> (8772) thee, and thou shalt be for booties <04933> unto them? |
| 2:8 | Because thou hast spoiled <07997> (8804) many <07227> nations <01471>, all the remnant <03499> of the people <05971> shall spoil <07997> (8799) thee; because of men's <0120> blood <01818>, and [for] the violence <02555> of the land <0776>, of the city <07151>, and of all that dwell <03427> (8802) therein. {blood: Heb. bloods} |
| 2:9 | Woe <01945> to him that coveteth <01214> (8802) an evil <07451> covetousness <01215> to his house <01004>, that he may set <07760> (8800) his nest <07064> on high <04791>, that he may be delivered <05337> (8736) from the power <03709> of evil <07451>! {coveteth...: or, gaineth and evil gain} {power...: Heb. palm of the hand} |
| 2:10 | Thou hast consulted <03289> (8804) shame <01322> to thy house <01004> by cutting off <07096> (8800) many <07227> people <05971>, and hast sinned <02398> (8802) [against] thy soul <05315>. |
| 2:11 | For the stone <068> shall cry out <02199> (8799) of the wall <07023>, and the beam out <03714> of the timber <06086> shall answer <06030> (8799) it. {beam: or, piece, or, fastening} {answer it: or, witness against it} |
| 2:12 | Woe <01945> to him that buildeth <01129> (8802) a town <05892> with blood <01818>, and stablisheth <03559> (8790) a city <07151> by iniquity <05766>! {blood: Heb. bloods} |
| 2:13 | Behold, [is it] not of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> that the people <05971> shall labour <03021> (8799) in the very <01767> fire <0784>, and the people <03816> shall weary <03286> (8799) themselves for very <01767> vanity <07385>? {for...: or, in vain?} |
| 2:14 | For the earth <0776> shall be filled <04390> (8735) with the knowledge <03045> (8800) of the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068>, as the waters <04325> cover <03680> (8762) the sea <03220>. {with...: or, by knowing the glory} |
| 2:15 | Woe <01945> unto him that giveth his neighbour <07453> drink <08248> (8688), that puttest <05596> (8764) thy bottle <02573> to [him], and makest [him] drunken <07937> (8763) also, that thou mayest look <05027> (8687) on their nakedness <04589>! |
| 2:16 | Thou art filled <07646> (8804) with shame <07036> for glory <03519>: drink <08354> (8798) thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered <06188> (8734): the cup <03563> of the LORD'S <03068> right hand <03225> shall be turned <05437> (8735) unto thee, and shameful spewing <07022> [shall be] on thy glory <03519>. {with...: or, more with shame than with glory} |
| 2:17 | For the violence <02555> of Lebanon <03844> shall cover <03680> (8762) thee, and the spoil <07701> of beasts <0929>, [which] made them afraid <02865> (8686), because of men's <0120> blood <01818>, and for the violence <02555> of the land <0776>, of the city <07151>, and of all that dwell <03427> (8802) therein. |
| 2:18 | What profiteth <03276> (8689) the graven image <06459> that the maker <03335> (8802) thereof hath graven <06458> (8804) it; the molten image <04541>, and a teacher <03384> (8688) of lies <08267>, that the maker <03335> (8802) of his work <03336> trusteth <0982> (8804) therein, to make <06213> (8800) dumb <0483> idols <0457>? {maker of...: Heb. fashioner of his fashion} |
| 2:19 | Woe <01945> unto him that saith <0559> (8802) to the wood <06086>, Awake <06974> (8685); to the dumb <01748> stone <068>, Arise <05782> (8798), it shall teach <03384> (8686)! Behold, it [is] laid <08610> (8803) over with gold <02091> and silver <03701>, and [there is] no breath <07307> at all in the midst <07130> of it. |
| 2:20 | But the LORD <03068> [is] in his holy <06944> temple <01964>: let all the earth <0776> keep silence <02013> (8761) before <06440> him. {let...: Heb. be silent all the earth before him} |
