33:001:002 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth,
and all that therein
is:
and let the Lord god be witness against you, the
lord from
his
holy temple.
33:001:003 For, behold, the lord cometh forth
out of his place, and will
come
down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
33:001:004 And the mountains shall be molten under
him, and the valleys
shall
be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters
that
are
poured down a steep place.
33:001:005 For the transgression of Jacob is all this,
and for the sins
of
the house of Israel. What is the transgression
of Jacob? is
it
not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah?
are
they
not Jerusalem?
33:001:006 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap
of the field, and as
plantings
of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones
thereof
into the valley, and I will discover the foundations
thereof.
33:001:007 And all the graven images thereof shall
be beaten to pieces,
and
all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire,
and
all
the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she
gathered it
of
the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the
hire of
an
harlot.
33:001:008 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will
go stripped and naked:
I
will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning
as the
owls.
33:001:009 For her wound is incurable; for it is come
unto Judah; he is
come
unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
33:001:010 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not
at all: in the house of
Aphrah
roll thyself in the dust.
33:001:011 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir,
having thy shame
naked:
the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning
of
Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
33:001:012 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully
for good: but
evil
came down from the lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.
33:001:013 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the
chariot to the swift
beast:
she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of
Zion:
for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
33:001:014 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath:
the
houses
of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
33:001:015 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant
of Mareshah:
he
shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
33:001:016 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate
children;
enlarge
thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into
captivity
from thee.
