While yet he was speaking with them, lo! the messenger, coming down unto him, - and he said, - Lo! this, is a calamity from Yahweh, why should I wait for Yahweh, any longer?

And, in the time of his distress, he yet further acted unfaithfully with Yahweh, - he, King Ahaz!

Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:

Therefore shall they pass through it hard pressed and hungry, - And it shall be when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god and turn their faces upwards;

O Yahweh! thine own eyes, are they not directed to fidelity? Thou hast smitten them Yet have they not grieved, Thou hast consumed them - They have refused to receive correction, - They have made their faces bolder than a cliff, They have refused to return.

Scorched are the bellows, By fire, is lead wont to be, consumed, - In vain, hath he gone on refining, For the wicked, have not been drawn out:

In thine uncleanness, is lewdness; be- cause I purified thee and thou wast not purified, from thine uncleanness, thou shalt not be purified any more, until I have let mine indignation rest upon thee.

And they

and I gave her time, that she might repent, and she willeth not to repent out of her lewdness.

And, the rest of mankind who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, - that they should not do homage unto the demons, nor unto the idols of gold and of silver and of copper and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;

And yet, thou, his son, O Belshazzar! hast not humbled thy heart, though, all this, thou knewest;

Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish.

Lest, when I again come, my God should humble me in regard to you, - and I should grieve over many who had before sinned, and not repented of the impurity, and fornication, and wantonness which they had committed.

General references

But, if, refusing, thou art to let them go, - and still art holding them fast,

Yea they shall drink and reel to and fro and act as madmen, because of the sword which I am sending between them.
