Basic HTML Version
Behold, speak thou in the ears of my people the words of prophecy, which I will put in thy mouth,
saith the Lord:
2
And cause them to be written in paper: for they are faithful and true.
3
Fear not the imaginations against thee, let not the incredulity of them trouble thee, that speak
against thee.
4
For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness.
5
Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world; the sword, famine, death, and
destruction.
6
For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the whole earth, and their hurtful works are fulfilled.
7
Therefore saith the Lord,
8
I will hold my tongue no more as touching their wickedness, which they profanely commit,
neither will I suffer them in those things, in which they wickedly exercise themselves: behold, the
innocent and righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the just complain continually.
9
And therefore, saith the Lord, I will surely avenge them, and receive unto me all the innocent
blood from among them.
10
Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not suffer them now to dwell in
the land of Egypt:
11
But I will bring them with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm, and smite Egypt with
plagues, as before, and will destroy all the land thereof.
12
Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be smitten with the plague and punishment
that God shall bring upon it.
13
They that till the ground shall mourn: for their seeds shall fail through the blasting and hail,
and with a fearful constellation.
14
Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!
15
For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight
against another, and swords in their hands.
16
For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their
kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
17
A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
18
For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men
shall be afraid.
19
A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword,
and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
20
Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are
from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against
another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
21
Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom.
Thus saith the Lord God;
