ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

⁵ Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

¹⁷ But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

⁸ O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
