And, with a great displeasure, am I displeased with the careless nations, - in that, when, I, was displeased (for) a little, then, they, helped forward the calamity,

For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, - these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are - running to and fro throughout all the earth.

yea when Bethel sent Sherezer and Regemmelech, and his men, - to pacify the face of Yahweh:

Speak thou unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying, - When ye fasted and lamented in the fifth and in the seventh, even these seventy years, did ye, really fast, unto, me?

And, when ye used to eat and when ye used to drink, was it not, of your own accord, ye did eat, and, of your own accord, ye did drink?

For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Just as I planned to bring calamity upon you, when your fathers provoked me, saith Yahweh of hosts, - and I relented not,

When it was broken, on that day, then did the sheep- merchants who were watching me, know, that, the word of Yahweh, it was.

So shall it come about that, when any man shall prophesy again, then will his own father and his own mother, of whom he was born, say unto him, - Thou shalt not live! For falsehood hast thou spoken in the name of Yahweh, - So will his own father and his own mother of whom he was born, pierce him through, when he prophesieth,

Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, that the prophets, will turn pale, every man by reason of his vision when he prophesieth, - neither will they put on a mantle of hair to deceive.

Lo! a day, cometh, pertaining to Yahweh, - when apportioned shall be thy spoil in thy midst;

Then will Yahweh go forth, and fight against those nations, - just as he did in the day when he fought, in the day of battle;

This, shall be the punishment of Egypt, - and the punishment of all the nations, when they come not up to celebrate the festival of booths.
