Woe
to the rebellious
children,
saith
the LORD,
that take
counsel,
but not of me; and that cover
with a covering,
but not of my spirit,
that they may add
sin
to sin:

That walk
to go down
into Egypt,
and have not asked
at my mouth;
to strengthen
themselves in the strength
of Pharaoh,
and to trust
in the shadow
of Egypt!
Therefore shall the strength
of Pharaoh
be your shame,
and the trust
in the shadow
of Egypt
your confusion.
For his princes
were at Zoan,
and his ambassadors
came
to Hanes.
They were all ashamed
of a people
that could not profit
them, nor be an help
nor profit,
but a shame,
and also a reproach.
The burden
of the beasts
of the south:
into the land
of trouble
and anguish,
from whence come the young
and old lion,
the viper
and fiery
flying
serpent,
they will carry
their riches
upon the shoulders
of young asses,
and their treasures
upon the bunches
of camels,
to a people
that shall not profit
them.

For the Egyptians
shall help
in vain,
and to no purpose:
therefore have I cried
concerning this,
Their
strength
is to sit still.
Now go,
write
it before them in a table,
and note
it in a book,
that it may be for the time
to come
for
ever
and ever:
That this is a rebellious
people,
lying
children,
children
that will
not hear
the law
of the LORD:
Which say
to the seers,
See
not; and to the prophets,
Prophesy
not unto us right things,
speak
unto us smooth things,

Get you out
of the way,
turn aside
out of the path,
cause the Holy One
of Israel
to cease
from before
us.
Wherefore thus saith
the Holy One
of Israel,
Because ye despise
this word,
and trust
in oppression
and perverseness,
and stay
thereon:
Therefore this iniquity
shall be to you as a breach
ready to fall,
swelling out
in a high
wall,
whose breaking
cometh
suddenly
at an instant.

from the hearth,
or to take
water
withal out of the pit.

For thus saith
the Lord
GOD,
the Holy One
of Israel;
In returning
and rest
shall ye be saved;
in quietness
and in confidence
shall be your strength:
and ye would
not.
But ye said,
No; for we will flee
upon horses;
therefore shall ye flee:
and, We will ride
upon the swift;
therefore shall they that pursue
you be swift.
One
thousand
shall flee at
the rebuke
of one;
at
the rebuke
of five
shall ye flee:
till ye be left
as a beacon
upon the top
of a mountain,
and as an ensign
on an hill.

And therefore will the LORD
wait,
that he may be gracious
unto you, and therefore will he be exalted,
that he may have mercy
upon you: for the LORD
is a God
of judgment:
blessed
are all they that wait
for him.
For the people
shall dwell
in Zion
at Jerusalem:
thou shalt weep

he will be very
gracious

when he shall hear
it, he will answer
thee.
And though the Lord
give
you the bread
of adversity,
and the water
of affliction,
yet shall not thy teachers
be removed into a corner
any more, but thine eyes
shall see
thy teachers:
And thine ears
shall hear
a word
behind
thee, saying,
This is the way,
walk ye in it,
when ye turn to the right hand,
and when ye turn to the left.
Ye shall defile
also the covering
of thy graven images
of silver,
and the ornament
of thy molten images
of gold:
thou shalt cast them away
as a menstruous cloth;
thou shalt say
unto it, Get thee hence.

his lips

And his breath,

the nations

and there shall be a bridle
