In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.

For the transgression H6588 of a land H776 many H7227 [are] the princes H8269 thereof: but by a man H120 of understanding H995 (HiphPtc) [and] knowledge H3045 (QalActPtc) the state H3651 [thereof] shall be prolonged. H748 (HiphImpf)

By the transgression of a land many are its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right-it is prolonged.

“So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

Such [is] the way H1870 of an adulterous H5003 (PielPtc) woman; H802 she eateth, H398 (QalPerf) and wipeth H4229 (QalPerf) her mouth, H6310 and saith, H559 (QalPerf) I have done H6466 (QalPerf) no wickedness. H205

So-the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, ‘I have not done iniquity.’

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.

For that which befalleth H4745 the sons H1121 of men H120 befalleth H4745 beasts; H929 even one thing H259 befalleth H4745 them: as the one dieth, H4194 so dieth H4194 the other; H2088 yea, they have all one H259 breath; H7307 so that a man H120 hath no preeminence H4195 above a beast: H929 for all [is] vanity. H1892

For an event is to the sons of man, and an event is to the beasts, even one event is to them; as the death of this, so is the death of that; and one spirit is to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole is vanity.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

Be not rash H926 (PielImpf) with thy mouth, H6310 and let not thine heart H3820 be hasty H4116 (PielImpf) to utter H3318 (HiphInf) [any] thing H1697 before H6440 God: H430 for God H430 [is] in heaven, H8064 and thou upon earth: H776 therefore let thy words H1697 be few. H4592

Cause not thy mouth to hasten, and let not thy heart hasten to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and thou on the earth, therefore let thy words be few.

This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

And this H2090 also [is] a sore H2470 (QalActPtc) evil, H7451 [that] in all points H5980 as he came, H935 (QalPerf) so shall he go: H3212 (QalImpf) and what profit H3504 hath he that hath laboured H5998 (QalImpf) for the wind? H7307

And this also is a painful evil, just as he came, so he goeth, and what advantage is to him who laboureth for wind?

For as the crackling H6963 of thorns H5518 under a pot, H5518 so [is] the laughter H7814 of the fool: H3684 this also [is] vanity. H1892

For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So is the laughter of a fool, even this is vanity.

So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. They went and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.

And so H3651 I saw H7200 (QalPerf) the wicked H7563 buried, H6912 (QalPasPtc) who had come H935 (QalPerf) and gone H1980 (PielImpf) from the place H4725 of the holy, H6918 and they were forgotten H7911 (HithImpf) in the city H5892 where they had so done: H6213 (QalPerf) this [is] also vanity. H1892

And so I have seen the wicked buried, and they went in, even from the Holy Place they go, and they are forgotten in the city whether they had so done. This also is vanity.

Because sentence H6599 against an evil H7451 work H4639 is not executed H6213 (NiphPerf) speedily, H4120 therefore the heart H3820 of the sons H1121 of men H120 is fully set H4390 (QalPerf) in them to do H6213 (QalInf) evil. H7451

Because sentence hath not been done on an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil.

Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.

Therefore the Lord,^§ Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my enemies.

Isaiah 1:24 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”

Therefore saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord, H113 the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the mighty One H46 of Israel, H3478 Ah, H1945 I will ease H5162 (NiphImpf) me of mine adversaries, H6862 and avenge H5358 (NiphImpf) me of mine enemies: H341 (QalActPtc)

Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one-into her.

Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust, because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore as the fire H784 devoureth H398 (QalInf) the stubble, H7179 and the flame H3956 H3852 consumeth H7503 (QalImpf) the chaff, H2842 [so] their root H8328 shall be as rottenness, H4716 and their blossom H6525 shall go up H5927 (QalImpf) as dust: H80 because they have cast away H3988 (QalPerf) the law H8451 of the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 and despised H5006 (PielPerf) the word H565 of the Holy One H6918 of Israel.

Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Therefore the Lord H136 shall have no joy H8055 (QalImpf) in their young men, H970 neither shall have mercy H7355 (PielImpf) on their fatherless H3490 and widows: H490 for every one [is] an hypocrite H2611 and an evildoer, H7489 (HiphPtc) and every mouth H6310 speaketh H1696 (QalActPtc) folly.

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God, H3069 Behold, I lay H3245 (PielPerf) in Zion H6726 for a foundation a stone, H68 a tried H976 stone, H68 a precious H3368 corner H6438 [stone], a sure H3245 (HophPtc) foundation: H4143 he that believeth H539 (HiphPtc) shall not make haste. H2363 (HiphImpf)

It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

It shall even be as when an hungry H7457 [man] dreameth, H2492 (QalImpf) and, behold, he eateth; H398 (QalActPtc) but he awaketh, H6974 (HiphPerf) and his soul H5315 is empty: H7386 or as when H834 a thirsty man H6771 dreameth, H2492 (QalImpf) and, behold, he drinketh; H8354 (QalActPtc) but he awaketh, H6974 (HiphPerf) and, behold, [he is] faint, H5889 and his soul H5315 hath appetite: H8264 (QalActPtc) so shall the multitude H1995 of all the nations H1471 be, that fight H6633 (QalActPtc) against mount H2022 Zion.

And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty is his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion.

therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”

Therefore, behold, I will proceed H3254 (QalActPtc) to do a marvellous work H6381 (HiphInf) among this people, H5971 [even] a marvellous work H6381 (HiphInf) and a wonder: H6382 for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 [men] shall perish, H6 (QalPerf) and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 (NiphPtc) [men] shall be hid. H5641 (HithImpf)

Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.

Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: ‘Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become pale,

For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.

For the Egyptians H4714 shall help H5826 (QalImpf) in vain, H1892 and to no purpose: H7385 therefore have I cried H7121 (QalPerf) concerning this, H2063 Their H1992 strength H7293 [is] to sit still. H7674

Yea, Egyptians are vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: ‘Their strength is to sit still.’

Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,

Wherefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Holy One H6918 of Israel, H3478 Because ye despise H3988 (QalInf) this word, H1697 and trust H982 (QalImpf) in oppression H6233 and perverseness, H3868 (NiphPtc) and stay H8172 (NiphImpf) thereon:

Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel, Because of your kicking against this word, And ye trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,

therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

Therefore is this iniquity to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction suddenly, at an instant cometh.
