Basic HTML Version
as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and
the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge,
and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5
The vile person shall be no more
called liberal, nor the churl said
to be
bountiful.
6
For the vile person will speak villany, and his
heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the L
ORD
, to make empty
the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7
The instruments also of
the churl
are
evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the
needy speaketh right.
8
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9
Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my
speech.
10
Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail,
the gathering shall not come.
11
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones:
strip you, and make you bare, and gird
sackcloth
upon
your
loins.
12
They shall lament for the teats,
for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns
and
briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy
in
the joyous city:
14
Because the palaces shall be forsaken;
the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild
asses, a pasture of flocks;
15
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be
a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16
Then judgment shall dwell in the
wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17
And the work of righteousness shall
be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18
And my people shall
dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19
When it shall
hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20
Blessed
are
ye that sow
beside all waters, that send forth
thither
the feet of the ox and the ass.
CHAPTER 33
Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou
wast
not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not
treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled;
and
when thou shalt
make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2
O L
ORD
, be gracious
unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time
of trouble.
3
At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were
scattered.
4
And your spoil shall be gathered
like
the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to
and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5
The L
ORD
is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath
filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability
of thy times,
and
strength of salvation: the fear of the L
ORD
is
his treasure.
7
Behold, their valiant
ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8
The highways lie waste, the
wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no
man.
9
The earth mourneth
and
languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed
and
hewn down: Sharon is like
816
