\v 1 I will stand at my guardpost and station myself on the watchtower, and I will watch carefully
|
|
\q to see what he will say to me and how I should turn from my complaint.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Yahweh answered me and said,
|
|
\q "Record this vision, and write plainly upon the tablets so that the one reading them might run!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 For the vision is yet for a future time and will finally speak and not fail.
|
|
\q Though it delays, wait for it! For it will surely come and will not tarry!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Look! The one whose desires are not right within him, is puffed up. But the righteous will live by his faith.
|
|
\p
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 For wine is a betrayer of the arrogant young man so that he will not abide,
|
|
\q but enlarges his desire like the grave and, like death, is never satisfied.
|
|
\q He gathers to himself every nation and gathers up for himself all of the peoples.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Will not all these peoples create a saying to ridicule him and a taunting song about him, saying,
|
|
\q 'Woe to the one increasing what is not his! For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?'
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 7 Will the ones gnashing at you not rise up suddenly, and the ones terrifying you awaken?
|
|
\q2 You will become a victim for them!
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 8 Because you have plundered many peoples, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you.
|
|
\q2 For you have shed human blood and acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
|
|
|

|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 'Woe to the one who carves out evil gains for his house,
|
|
\q2 so he can set his nest on high to keep himself safe from the hand of evil!'
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 10 You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against yourself.
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters of timber will answer them:
|
|

\q
|
|
\v 12 'Woe to the one who builds a city with blood, and who establishes a town in iniquity!'
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 13 Is it not from Yahweh of hosts
|
|
\q2 that peoples labor for fire and all the other nations weary themselves for nothing?
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 14 Yet the land will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh like the waters cover the sea.
|
|
|

|
\q
|
|
\v 15 'Woe to the one making his neighbor drink, you who add your poison until you make them drunk
|
|
\q2 so you can look on their nakedness!'
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 16 You will be gorged with shame rather than glory! Drink of it also, and reveal your own nakedness!
|
|
\q2 The cup of Yahweh's right hand will come in its turn to you, and disgrace will cover your honor.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you and the destruction of animals will terrify you.
|
|
\q2 For you have shed human blood and you have acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 What does the carved figure profit you? For the one who has carved it, or who casts a figure from molten metal, is a teacher of lies;
|
|
\q for he trusts his own handiwork when he makes these mute gods.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 'Woe to the one saying to the wood, Wake up! Or to the silent stone, Arise!' Do these things teach?
|
|
\q See, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple! Be silent before him, all the land!"
