ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

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>.
