I will stand{H5975} upon my watch,{H4931} and set{H3320} me upon the tower,{H4692} and will look{H7200} forth to see{H7200} what he will speak{H1696} with me, and what I shall answer{H7725} concerning my complaint.{H8433}

And Jehovah{H3068} answered{H6030} me, and said,{H559} Write{H3789} the vision,{H2377} and make it plain{H874} upon tablets,{H3871} that he may run{H7323} that readeth{H7121} it.

For the vision{H2377} is yet for the appointed time,{H4150} and it hasteth toward the end,{H7093} and shall{H6315} not lie:{H3576} though it tarry,{H4102} wait{H2442} for it; because it will surely{H935} come,{H935} it will not delay.{H309}

Behold, his soul{H5315} is puffed up,{H6075} it is not upright{H3474} in him; but the righteous{H6662} shall live{H2421} by his faith.{H530}

Yea, moreover, wine{H3196} is treacherous,{H898} a haughty{H3093} man,{H1397} that keepeth not at home;{H5115} who enlargeth{H7337} his desire{H5315} as Sheol,{H7585} and he is as death,{H4194} and cannot be satisfied,{H7646} but gathereth{H622} unto him all nations,{H1471} and heapeth{H6908} unto him all peoples.{H5971}

Shall not all these take up{H5375} a parable{H4912} against him, and a taunting{H4426} proverb{H2420} against him, and say,{H559} Woe{H1945} to him that increaseth{H7235} that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth{H3513} himself with pledges!{H5671}

Shall they not rise up{H6965} suddenly{H6621} that shall bite{H5391} thee, and awake{H3364} that shall vex{H2111} thee, and thou shalt be for booty{H4933} unto them?

Because thou hast plundered{H7997} many{H7227} nations,{H1471} all the remnant{H3499} of the peoples{H5971} shall plunder{H7997} thee, because of men's{H120} blood,{H1818} and for the violence{H2555} done to the land,{H776} to the city{H7151} and to all that dwell{H3427} therein.

Woe{H1945} to him that getteth{H1214} an evil{H7451} gain{H1215} for his house,{H1004} that he may set{H7760} his nest{H7064} on high,{H4791} that he may be delivered{H5337} from the hand{H3709} of evil!{H7451}

Thou hast devised{H3289} shame{H1322} to thy house,{H1004} by cutting off{H7096} many{H7227} peoples,{H5971} and hast sinned{H2398} against thy soul.{H5315}

For the stone{H68} shall cry out{H2199} of the wall,{H7023} and the beam out{H3714} of the timber{H6086} shall answer{H6030} it.

Woe{H1945} to him that buildeth{H1129} a town{H5892} with blood,{H1818} and establisheth{H3559} a city{H7151} by iniquity!{H5766}

Behold, is it not of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} that the peoples{H5971} labor{H3021} for the{H1767} fire,{H784} and the nations{H3816} weary{H3286} themselves for{H1767} vanity?{H7385}

For the earth{H776} shall be filled{H4390} with the knowledge{H3045} of the glory{H3519} of Jehovah,{H3068} as the waters{H4325} cover{H3680} the sea.{H3220}

Woe{H1945} unto him that giveth his neighbor{H7453} drink,{H8248} to thee that addest{H5596} thy venom,{H2573} and makest him drunken{H7937} also, that thou mayest look{H5027} on their nakedness!{H4589}

Thou art filled{H7646} with shame,{H7036} and not glory:{H3519} drink{H8354} thou also, and be as one uncircumcised;{H6188} the cup{H3563} of Jehovah's{H3068} right hand{H3225} shall come round{H5437} unto thee, and foul shame{H7022} shall be upon thy glory.{H3519}

For the violence{H2555} done to Lebanon{H3844} shall cover{H3680} thee, and the destruction{H7701} of the beasts,{H929} which made them afraid;{H2865} because of men's{H120} blood,{H1818} and for the violence{H2555} done to the land,{H776} to the city{H7151} and to all that dwell{H3427} therein.

What profiteth{H3276} the graven image,{H6459} that the maker{H3335} thereof hath graven{H6458} it; the molten image,{H4541} even the teacher{H3384} of lies,{H8267} that he that fashioneth{H3335} its form{H3336} trusteth{H982} therein, to make{H6213} dumb{H483} idols?{H457}

Woe{H1945} unto him that saith{H559} to the wood,{H6086} Awake;{H6974} to the dumb{H1748} stone,{H68} Arise!{H5782} Shall this teach?{H3384} Behold, it is overlaid{H8610} with gold{H2091} and silver,{H3701} and there is no breath{H7307} at all in the midst{H7130} of it.

But Jehovah{H3068} is in his holy{H6944} temple:{H1964} let all the earth{H776} keep silence{H2013} before{H6440} him.
