Wherefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Woe! city of bloodshed, - Even I myself, will make large the pe.

With toils, hath she wearied herself, - Since her abundant scum will not go out of her, into the fire, with her scum!

And I will make of Rabbah a home for camels, And the sons of Ammon a couching-place for flocks, shall ye know that am Yahweh.

Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee O Tyre, - So then I will bring up against thee many nations, As the sea bringeth up its rolling waves;

And the stroke of his attacking-engine, will he direct against thy walls, - And thy tower., will he break down with his axes.

And I will cause to cease the hum of thy songs; And the sound of thy lyres, shall not be heard any more.

And I will make of thee the glaring face of a cliff. A place for the spreading of nets, shalt thou become, Thou shalt not be but any more, For I. Yahweh have spoken it, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Then will I bring thee down with them that go down into the pit. Unto the people of age-past times And cause thee to dwell in the earth below Among the desolations from age-past times With them that go down into the pit That thou mayest not be dwelt in, Nor yet present thyself in the land of the living.

A terror, will I make thee And thou shalt not be: Though thou be sought for, Thou shalt not be found any more To times age-abiding, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

Wilt thou really say, God, am I, before him who is slaying thee; When, thou, art a man and not a God, in the hand of them who are piercing h thee?

So will I make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of lands made desolate And her cities - in the midst of cities that have been laid waste, shall become a desolation forty years,- And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, And scatter them throughout the lands.

For thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, - At the end of forty years, will I gather the Egyptians from among the peoples whither I had dispersed them;

And I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, And will cause them to return To the land of Pathros Upon the land of their nativity,- And they shall become, there a kingdom abased:

More than any of the kingdoms, shall she be abased, And shall lift herself up no more over the nations, - Yea I will make them too small to rule over the nations.

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, - Therefore will I cause to cease the multitude of Egypt, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon:

Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens I made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field brought forth I, - And in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.

Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens,- And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: -

Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Therefore will I spread over thee my net, With a gathered host of many e peoples,-And they shall bring thee up in my net;

And I will stretch thee out on the land, Over the face of the field, will I fling thee,- And will cause to settle upon thee all the birds of the heavens, And will satiate with thee the wild beasts of all the earth;

And I will lay thy flesh on the mountains, - And fill the valleys, with thy blood;

And will soak the earth with thy blood, amongst the mountains,- And the channels shall be fled with thee.

And when I quench thee, I will cover the heavens, And obscure their stars, - The sun - with a cloud, will I cover, And the moon shall not shed her light;

As for all the light-bearers in the heavens, I will obscure them over thee - And will stretch out darkness over thy land, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

And I will aggrieve the heart of many peoples,- when I bring them who are broken off from thee among the nations, unto lands which thou hast not known.

Yea I will cause amazement over thee unto many peoples And the hair of their kings shall stand on end over thee, when I brandish my sword over their faces,- And they shall tremble every moment every man for his own life, In the day of thy fall.

With the swords of mighty men, will I cause thy multitude to fall, Terrible ones of the nations all of them!-And they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, And all her multitude shall be destroyed I,

And I will cause to perish all her beasts, from beside the many waters, - And the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, Nor shall hoof of beast, trouble them.

Then, will I make their waters subside, And their streams - like, will I cause to flow, - Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

But as for the watchman-When he seeth the sword coming. And hath not blown with the horn. And the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come and taken away from among them any person he, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But his blood at the hand of the watchman will I require.

When I say to the lawless man O lawless man thou shalt surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way He the lawless man for his iniquity shall die, But his blood- at thy hand- will I demand.

And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal!

And can ye then say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Every man - according to his own ways so will I judge you O house of Israel?

Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As I live, surely, they who are in the waste places by the sword, shall fall, And him who is on the face of the field to the wild beast, have I given to be devoured,- And they who are in the mountain holds and in the pits :by pestilence, shall die;

And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, So shall be made to cease the pride of her strength,- And the mountains of Israel shall be too desolate for any to pass through.

That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But the, words themselves, they not do, - though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.

And lo! thou art to them - As a bewitching song, Of one with a beautiful voice. And skilfully touching the strings, - So will they hear thy words, And yet be going to do none of them.

And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.

As I live, - Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, - But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not

Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the fleck, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.

For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh,- Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick darkness;

And I will bring them out from among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places of the land:

In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, - There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.

myself will tend my flock. And, I, myself will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:

That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that width is tern, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen,- But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.

Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,

Therefore will I bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, - but I will judge between one sheep and another,

And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, - Hell will tend them, And libel will become to them a shepherd;

And, I, Yahweh will become to them a God. My servant David being a prince in their midst; - I, Yahweh, have spoken;

And I will solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall sleep in the forests;

And I, will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing,- And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they be;

And they shall be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, - But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in terror.

And I will raise up unto them a plantation for fame,- And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer the reproach of the nations.

and thou shalt say to it Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee Mount Seir, - Therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, And will make thee a desolation and an astonishment:

Thy cities, will I lay waste, And thou - a desolation, shalt become, So shalt thou know that I, am Yahweh.

Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh, Surely regarding blood, will deal with thee, Blood therefore, shall pursue thee,-Since blood thou hast not hated, Therefore blood, shall pursue thee,

So then I will deliver up Mount Seir to desolation after desolation,- And will cut off therefrom him that passeth by and him that returneth,

And I will fill his mountains with his slain, - As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword shall fall therein:

Desolations age-abiding, will I make thee, And thy cities, shall not be inhabited,- shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.

Therefore as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, I will even deal according to thine anger, and according to thine envy, wherewith thou hast dealt, out of thy hatred with them,- So will I make myself known among them as soon as I shall judge thee

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, - When all the earth is rejoicing, la desolation will I make thee:

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it had become a desolation, so, will, I, do unto thee, - A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir And all Edom all of it, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.

For lo! I am towards you, Therefore will I turn towards you, And ye shall be tilled and sewn;

And I will multiply, upon you - men, All the house of Israel All of it, Then shall the cities be inhabited, And the waste places, shall be but,

And I will multiply upon you - man and beast, And hey shall multiply and be fruitful, - And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;

And I will bring upon you - men even my people Israel That they may possess thee, So shalt thou be theirs, as an inheritance, -And thou shalt no more again make them childless.

And I will not suffer to he heard against thee any more, the insult of the nations, And the reproach of the peoples, shalt thou not bear any more,- And thy nations, shalt thou not cause to stumble any more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst,-So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes.

Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands,- And will bring you upon your own soil;

And I will throw upon you clean water and ye shall he clean, - From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, will I cleanse you;

And I will give you a new heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you,-And I will take away the heart of stone, of your flesh, And will give you a heart of flesh;

And my spirit, will I put within you, And will cause That in my statutes, ye shall walk, And my regulations, ye shall observe, and do;
