[Yet] a little H4592 sleep, H8142 a little H4592 slumber, H8572 a little H4592 folding H2264 of the hands H3027 to sleep: H7901 (QalInf)

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

The sleep H8142 of a labouring man H5647 (QalActPtc) [is] sweet, H4966 whether he eat H398 (QalImpf) little H4592 or much: H7235 (HiphInf) but the abundance H7647 of the rich H6223 will not suffer H3240 (HiphPtc) him to sleep. H3462 (QalInf)

^[5:11] γλυκυς υπνος του δουλου ει ολιγον και ει πολυ φαγεται και τω εμπλησθεντι του πλουτησαι ουκ εστιν αφιων αυτον του υπνωσαι

[There was] a little H6996 city, H5892 and few H4592 men H582 within it; and there came H935 (QalPerf) a great H1419 king H4428 against it, and besieged H5437 (QalPerf) it, and built H1129 (QalPerf) great H1419 bulwarks H4685 against it:

πολις μικρα και ανδρες εν αυτη ολιγοι και ελθη επ αυτην βασιλευς μεγας και κυκλωση αυτην και οικοδομηση επ αυτην χαρακας μεγαλους

Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

Dead H4194 flies H2070 cause the ointment H8081 of the apothecary H7543 (QalActPtc) to send forth H5042 (HiphImpf) a stinking savour: H887 (HiphImpf) [so doth] a little H4592 folly H5531 him that is in reputation H3368 for wisdom H2451 [and] honour. H3519

μυιαι θανατουσαι σαπριουσιν σκευασιαν ελαιου ηδυσματος τιμιον ολιγον σοφιας υπερ δοξαν αφροσυνης μεγαλης

I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, into the room of her who conceived me.

[It was] but a little H4592 that I passed H5674 (QalPerf) from them, but I found H4672 (QalPerf) him whom my soul H5315 loveth: H157 (QalPerf) I held H270 (QalPerf) him, and would not let him go, H7503 (HiphImpf) until I had brought H935 (HiphPerf) him into my mother’s H517 house, H1004 and into the chamber H2315 of her that conceived H2029 (QalActPtc) me.

ως μικρον οτε παρηλθον απ αυτων εως ου ευρον ον ηγαπησεν η ψυχη μου εκρατησα αυτον και ουκ αφησω αυτον εως ου εισηγαγον αυτον εις οικον μητρος μου και εις ταμιειον της συλλαβουσης με

Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

Except H3884 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 had left H3498 (HiphPerf) unto us a very small H4592 remnant, H8300 we should have been H1961 (QalPerf) as Sodom, H5467 [and] we should have been like H1819 (QalPerf) unto Gomorrah. H6017

και ει μη κυριος σαβαωθ εγκατελιπεν ημιν σπερμα ως σοδομα αν εγενηθημεν και ως γομορρα αν ωμοιωθημεν

He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?

And he said, H559 (QalImpf) Hear H8085 (QalImpv) ye now, O house H1004 of David; H1732 [Is it] a small thing H4592 for you to weary H3811 (HiphInf) men, H582 but will ye weary H3811 (HiphImpf) my God H430 also?

και ειπεν ακουσατε δη οικος δαυιδ μη μικρον υμιν αγωνα παρεχειν ανθρωποις και πως κυριω παρεχετε αγωνα

However, he doesn’t mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.

Howbeit he meaneth H1819 (PielImpf) not so, neither doth his heart H3824 think H2803 (QalImpf) so; but [it is] in his heart H3824 to destroy H8045 (HiphInf) and cut off H3772 (HiphInf) nations H1471 not a few. H4592

αυτος δε ουχ ουτως ενεθυμηθη και τη ψυχη ουχ ουτως λελογισται αλλα απαλλαξει ο νους αυτου και του εθνη εξολεθρευσαι ουκ ολιγα

For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”

For yet a very H4213 little while, H4592 and the indignation H2195 shall cease, H3615 (QalPerf) and mine anger H639 in their destruction. H8399

ετι γαρ μικρον και παυσεται η οργη ο δε θυμος μου επι την βουλην αυτων

But now Yahweh has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”

But now the Lord H3068 hath spoken, H1696 (PielPerf) saying, H559 (QalInf) Within three H7969 years, H8141 as the years H8141 of an hireling, H7916 and the glory H3519 of Moab H4124 shall be contemned, H7034 (NiphPerf) with all that great H7227 multitude; H1995 and the remnant H7605 [shall be] very H4592 small H4213 [and] feeble. H3808 H3524

και νυν λεγω εν τρισιν ετεσιν ετων μισθωτου ατιμασθησεται η δοξα μωαβ εν παντι τω πλουτω τω πολλω και καταλειφθησεται ολιγοστος και ουκ εντιμος

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

Come, H3212 (QalImpv) my people, H5971 enter H935 (QalImpv) thou into thy chambers, H2315 and shut H5462 (QalImpv) thy doors H1817 about thee: hide H2247 (QalImpv) thyself as it were for a little H4592 moment, H7281 until the indignation H2195 be overpast. H5674 (QalImpf)

βαδιζε λαος μου εισελθε εις τα ταμιεια σου αποκλεισον την θυραν σου αποκρυβηθι μικρον οσον οσον εως αν παρελθη η οργη κυριου

Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

[Is] it not yet a very H4213 little while, H4592 and Lebanon H3844 shall be turned H7725 (QalPerf) into a fruitful field, H3759 and the fruitful field H3759 shall be esteemed H2803 (NiphImpf) as a forest? H3293

ουκετι μικρον και μετατεθησεται ο λιβανος ως το ορος το χερμελ και το ορος το χερμελ εις δρυμον λογισθησεται

and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,

And said H559 (QalImpf) unto Jeremiah H3414 the prophet, H5030 Let, we beseech thee, our supplication H8467 be accepted H5307 (QalImpf) before H6440 thee, and pray H6419 (HithImpv) for us unto the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 [even] for all this remnant; H7611 (for we are left H7604 (NiphPerf) [but] a few H4592 of many, H7235 (HiphInf) as thine eyes H5869 do behold H7200 (QalActPtc) us:)

^[49:2] προς ιερεμιαν τον προφητην και ειπαν αυτω πεσετω δη το ελεος ημων κατα προσωπον σου και προσευξαι προς κυριον τον θεον σου περι των καταλοιπων τουτων οτι κατελειφθημεν ολιγοι απο πολλων καθως οι οφθαλμοι σου βλεπουσιν

For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.”

For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 The daughter H1323 of Babylon H894 [is] like a threshingfloor, H1637 [it is] time H6256 to thresh H1869 (HiphInf) her: yet a little while, H4592 and the time H6256 of her harvest H7105 shall come. H935 (QalPerf)

^[28:33] διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος οικοι βασιλεως βαβυλωνος ως αλων ωριμος αλοηθησονται ετι μικρον και ηξει ο αμητος αυτης

You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.

Thou shalt also take H3947 (QalPerf) thereof a few H4592 in number, H4557 and bind H6696 (QalPerf) them in thy skirts. H3671

και λημψη εκειθεν ολιγους εν αριθμω και συμπεριλημψη αυτους τη αναβολη σου

“Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.” ’

Therefore say, H559 (QalImpv) Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Although I have cast them far off H7368 (HiphPerf) among the heathen, H1471 and although I have scattered H6327 (HiphPerf) them among the countries, H776 yet will I be to them as a little H4592 sanctuary H4720 in the countries H776 where they shall come. H935 (QalPerf)

δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος οτι απωσομαι αυτους εις τα εθνη και διασκορπιω αυτους εις πασαν την γην και εσομαι αυτοις εις αγιασμα μικρον εν ταις χωραις ου αν εισελθωσιν εκει

“ ‘ “Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

Moreover thou hast taken H3947 (QalImpf) thy sons H1121 and thy daughters, H1323 whom thou hast borne H3205 (QalPerf) unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed H2076 (QalImpf) unto them to be devoured. H398 (QalInf) [Is this] of thy whoredoms H8457 a small matter, H4592

και ελαβες τους υιους σου και τας θυγατερας σου ας εγεννησας και εθυσας αυτα αυτοις εις αναλωσιν ως μικρα εξεπορνευσας

Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

Yet hast thou not walked H1980 (QalPerf) after their ways, H1870 nor done H6213 (QalPerf) after their abominations: H8441 but, as [if that were] a very H6985 little H4592 H6962 (QalPerf) [thing], thou wast corrupted H7843 (HiphImpf) more than they H2004 in all thy ways. H1870

και ουδ ως εν ταις οδοις αυτων επορευθης ουδε κατα τας ανομιας αυτων εποιησας παρα μικρον και υπερκεισαι αυτας εν πασαις ταις οδοις σου

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?

[Seemeth it] a small thing H4592 unto you to have eaten up H7462 (QalImpf) the good H2896 pasture, H4829 but ye must tread down H7429 (QalImpf) with your feet H7272 the residue H3499 of your pastures? H4829 and to have drunk H8354 (QalImpf) of the deep H4950 waters, H4325 but ye must foul H7515 (QalImpf) the residue H3498 (NiphPtc) with your feet? H7272

και ουχ ικανον υμιν οτι την καλην νομην ενεμεσθε και τα καταλοιπα της νομης υμων κατεπατειτε τοις ποσιν υμων και το καθεστηκος υδωρ επινετε και το λοιπον τοις ποσιν υμων εταρασσετε

After the treaty made with him he will work deceitfully; for he will come up and will become strong with few people.

And after the league H2266 (HithInf) [made] with him he shall work H6213 (QalImpf) deceitfully: H4820 for he shall come up, H5927 (QalPerf) and shall become strong H6105 (QalPerf) with a small H4592 people. H1471

και απο των συναναμειξεων προς αυτον ποιησει δολον και αναβησεται και υπερισχυσει αυτου εν ολιγω εθνει

Now when they fall, they will be helped with a little help; but many will join themselves to them with flatteries.

Now when they shall fall, H3782 (NiphInf) they shall be holpen H5826 (NiphImpf) with a little H4592 help: H5828 but many H7227 shall cleave H3867 (NiphPerf) to them with flatteries. H2519

και εν τω ασθενησαι αυτους βοηθηθησονται βοηθειαν μικραν και προστεθησονται επ αυτους πολλοι εν ολισθρημασιν

Yahweh said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Call H7121 (QalImpv) his name H8034 Jezreel; H3157 for yet a little H4592 [while], and I will avenge H6485 (QalPerf) the blood H1818 of Jezreel H3157 upon the house H1004 of Jehu, H3058 and will cause to cease H7673 (HiphPerf) the kingdom H4468 of the house H1004 of Israel. H3478

και ειπεν κυριος προς αυτον καλεσον το ονομα αυτου ιεζραελ διοτι ετι μικρον και εκδικησω το αιμα του ιεζραελ επι τον οικον ιου και καταπαυσω βασιλειαν οικου ισραηλ

But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.

Yea, though they have hired H8566 (QalImpf) among the nations, H1471 now will I gather H6908 (PielImpf) them, and they shall sorrow H2490 (HiphImpf) a little H4592 for the burden H4853 of the king H4428 of princes. H8269

δια τουτο παραδοθησονται εν τοις εθνεσιν νυν εισδεξομαι αυτους και κοπασουσιν μικρον του χριειν βασιλεα και αρχοντας

You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.’

Ye have sown H2232 (QalPerf) much, H7235 (HiphInf) and bring H935 (HiphInf) in little; H4592 ye eat, H398 (QalInf) but ye have not enough; H7654 ye drink, H8354 (QalInf) but ye are not filled with drink; H7937 (QalInf) ye clothe H3847 (QalInf) you, but there is none warm; H2527 and he that earneth wages H7936 (HithPtc) earneth wages H7936 (HithPtc) [to put it] into a bag H6872 with holes. H5344 (QalPasPtc)

εσπειρατε πολλα και εισηνεγκατε ολιγα εφαγετε και ουκ εις πλησμονην επιετε και ουκ εις μεθην περιεβαλεσθε και ουκ εθερμανθητε εν αυτοις και ο τους μισθους συναγων συνηγαγεν εις δεσμον τετρυπημενον

“You looked for much, and, behold,^§ it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

Haggai 1:9 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

Ye looked H6437 (QalInf) for much, H7235 (HiphInf) and, lo, [it came] to little; H4592 and when ye brought H935 (HiphPerf) [it] home, H1004 I did blow H5301 (QalPerf) upon it. Why? saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 Because H3282 of mine house H1004 that [is] waste, H2720 and ye run H7323 (QalPtc) every man H376 unto his own house. H1004

επεβλεψατε εις πολλα και εγενετο ολιγα και εισηνεχθη εις τον οικον και εξεφυσησα αυτα δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ανθ ων ο οικος μου εστιν ερημος υμεις δε διωκετε εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου

For this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;

For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts; H6635 Yet once, H259 it [is] a little while, H4592 and I will shake H7493 (HiphPtc) the heavens, H8064 and the earth, H776 and the sea, H3220 and the dry H2724 [land];

διοτι ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ετι απαξ εγω σεισω τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και την ξηραν

I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, but they added to the calamity.”

And I am very H1419 sore H7110 displeased H7107 (QalPerf) with the heathen H1471 [that are] at ease: H7600 for I was but a little H4592 displeased, H7107 (QalActPtc) and they helped H5826 (QalPerf) forward the affliction. H7451

και οργην μεγαλην εγω οργιζομαι επι τα εθνη τα συνεπιτιθεμενα ανθ ων εγω μεν ωργισθην ολιγα αυτοι δε συνεπεθεντο εις κακα
