23:014:022 For I will rise up against them, saith
the lord of hosts, and
cut
off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and
nephew,
saith the lord.
23:014:023 I will also make it a possession for the
bittern, and pools of
water:
and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,
saith
the lord of hosts.
23:014:024 The lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,
Surely as I have
thought,
so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so
shall
it stand:
23:014:025 That I will break the Assyrian in my land,
and upon my
mountains
tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart
from
off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
23:014:026 This is the purpose that is purposed upon
the whole earth: and
this
is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
23:014:027 For the lord of hosts hath purposed,
and who shall disannul
it?
and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it
back?
23:014:028 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
23:014:029 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because
the rod of him that
smote
thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s
root shall come
forth
a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying
serpent.
23:014:030 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed,
and the needy shall
lie
down in safety: and I will kill thy root with
famine, and
he
shall slay thy remnant.
23:014:031 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole
Palestina, art
dissolved:
for there shall come from the north a smoke, and
none
shall be alone in his appointed times.
23:014:032 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.
23:015:001 The burden of Moab. Because in the
night Ar of Moab is laid
waste,
and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of
Moab
is laid waste, and brought to silence;
23:015:002 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon,
the high places, to
weep:
Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on
all their
heads
shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
23:015:003 In their streets they shall gird themselves
with sackcloth: on
the
tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one
shall
howl, weeping abundantly.
23:015:004 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh:
their voice shall be heard
even
unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab
shall
cry
out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
23:015:005 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives
shall flee unto
Zoar,
an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting
up of
Luhith
with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of
Horonaim
they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
