[1] I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. [2] Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it. [3] For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay. [4] Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith. [5] Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol;ⓘ he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples. [6] Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’ [7] Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim? [8] Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it. [9] Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! [10] You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul. [11] For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it. [12] Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity! [13] Behold, isn’t it from Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? [14] For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh’s glory, as the waters cover the sea. [15] “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies! [16] You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. [17] For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them. [18] “What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols? [19] Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it. [20] But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”

His Watchtower

[1] I will stand H5975 upon H5921 my watch, H4931 and set H3320 me upon the tower, H4692§ and will watch H6822 to see H7200 what H4100 he will say H1696 unto me,§ and what I shall answer H7725 when I am reproved. H8433§ [2] And the Lord H3068 answered H6030 me, and said, H559 Write H3789 the vision, H2377 and make it plain H874 upon H5921 tables, H3871 that he may run H7323 that readeth H7121 it. [3] For H3588 the vision H2377 is yet for an appointed time, H4150 but at the end H7093 it shall speak, H6315 and not lie: H3576 though it tarry, H4102 wait H2442 for H3588 it; because it will surely H935 come, H935 it will H309 not H3808 tarry. H309 [4] Behold, his soul H5315 which is lifted up H6075 is not upright H3474 in him: but the just H6662 shall live H2421 by his faith. H530 [5] Yea also,§ because he transgresseth H898 by wine, H3196 he is a proud H3093 man, H1397 neither keepeth at home, H5115 who H834 enlargeth H7337 his desire H5315 as hell, H7585 and is as death, H4194 and cannot be satisfied, H7646 but gathereth H622 unto H413 him all nations, H1471 and heapeth H6908 unto H413 him all people: H5971 [6] shall H5375 not H3808 all these take up H5375 a parable H4912 against H5921 him, and a taunting H4426 proverb H2420 against H5921 him, and say, H559 Woe H1945 to him§ that increaseth H7235 that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth H3513 himself with thick clay! H5671 [7] 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 booties H4933 unto them? [8] Because H3588 thou hast spoiled H7997 many H7227 nations, H1471 all H3605 the remnant H3499 of the people H5971 shall spoil H7997 thee; because of men’s H120 blood, H1818§ and for the violence H2555 of the land, H776 of the city, H7151 and of all that dwell H3427 therein. [9] Woe H1945 to him that coveteth H1214 an evil H7451 covetousness H1215 to his house, H1004 that he may set H7760 his nest H7064 on high, H4791 that he may be delivered H5337 from the power H3709 of evil! H7451§ [10] Thou hast consulted H3289 shame H1322 to thy house H1004 by cutting off H7096 many H7227 people, H5971 and hast sinned H2398 against thy soul. H5315 [11] For H3588 the stone H68 shall cry out H2199 of the wall, H7023 and the beam§ out H3714 of the timber H6086 shall answer H6030 it.§ [12] Woe H1945 to him that buildeth H1129 a town H5892 with blood, H1818§ and stablisheth H3559 a city H7151 by iniquity! H5766 [13] Behold, is it not of the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 that the people H5971 shall labour H3021 in the very H1767 fire, H784 and the people H3816 shall weary H3286 themselves for very H1767 vanity? H7385§ [14] For H3588 the earth H776 shall be filled H4390 with the knowledge H3045 H853 of the glory H3519 of the Lord, H3068 as the waters H4325 cover H3680 the sea. H3220 [15] Woe H1945 unto him that giveth his neighbour H7453 drink, H8248 that puttest H5596 thy bottle H2573 to him, and makest him drunken H7937 also, that thou mayest look H5027 on H5921 their nakedness! H4589 [16] Thou art filled H7646 with shame H7036 for glory: H3519§ drink H8354 thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: H6188 the cup H3563 of the Lord’s H3068 right hand H3225 shall be turned H5437 unto thee, and shameful spewing H7022 shall be on thy glory. H3519 [17] For the violence H2555 of Lebanon H3844 shall cover H3680 thee, and the spoil H7701 of beasts, H929 which made them afraid, H2865 because of men’s H120 blood, H1818 and for the violence H2555 of the land, H776 of the city, H7151 and of all that dwell H3427 therein. [18] What H4100 profiteth H3276 the graven image H6459 that the maker H3335 thereof hath graven H6458 it; the molten image, H4541 and a teacher H3384 of lies, H8267 that the maker H3335 of his work H3336§ trusteth H982 therein, to make H6213 dumb H483 idols? H457 [19] Woe H1945 unto him that saith H559 to the wood, H6086 Awake; H6974 to the dumb H1748 stone, H68 Arise, H5782 it shall teach! H3384 Behold, it is laid H8610 over with gold H2091 and silver, H3701 and there is no breath H7307 at all in the midst H7130 of it. [20] But the Lord H3068 is in his holy H6944 temple: H1964 let all the earth H776 keep silence H2013 before H6440 him.§

G3450 [2] Καὶ G2532 ἀπεκρίθη G611 πρός G4314 με G3165 κύριος G2962 καὶ G2532 εἶπεν G2036 Γράψον G1125 ὅρασιν G3706 καὶ G2532 σαφῶς ἐπὶ G1909 πυξίον, ὅπως G3704 διώκῃ G1377 ὁ G3588 ἀναγινώσκων G314 αὐτά. G846 [3] Διότι G1360 ἔτι G2089 ὅρασις G3706 εἰς G1519 καιρὸν G2540 καὶ G2532 ἀνατελεῖ G393 εἰς G1519 πέρας G4009 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 εἰς G1519 κενόν· G2756 ἐὰν G1437 ὑστερήσῃ, G5302 ὑπόμεινον G5278 αὐτόν, G846 ὅτι G3754 ἐρχόμενος G2064 ἥξει G2240 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 χρονίσῃ. G5549 [4] Ἐὰν G1437 ὑποστείληται, G5288 οὐκ G3756 εὐδοκεῖ G2106 ἡ G3588 ψυχή G5590 μου G3450 ἐν G1722 αὐτῷ· G846 ὁ G3588 δὲ G1161 δίκαιος G1342 ἐκ G1537 πίστεώς G4102 μου G3450 ζήσεται. G2198 [5] Ὁ G3588 δὲ G1161 κατοινωμένος καὶ G2532 καταφρονητὴς G2707 ἀνὴρ G435 ἀλάζων G213 οὐδὲν G3762 μὴ G3361 περάνῃ, ὃς G3739 ἐπλάτυνεν G4115 καθὼς G2531 ὁ G3588 ᾅδης G86 τὴν G3588 ψυχὴν G5590 αὐτοῦ, G846 καὶ G2532 οὗτος G3778 ὡς G5613 θάνατος G2288 οὐκ G3756 ἐμπιπλάμενος G1705 καὶ G2532 ἐπισυνάξει G1996 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτὸν G846 πάντα G3956 τὰ G3588 ἔθνη G1484 καὶ G2532 εἰσδέξεται G1523 πρὸς G4314 αὐτὸν G846 πάντας G3956 τοὺς G3588 λαούς.

G846 [8] Διότι G1360 σὺ G4771 ἐσκύλευσας ἔθνη G1484 πολλά, G4183 σκυλεύσουσίν σε G4571 πάντες G3956 οἱ G3588 ὑπολελειμμένοι G5275 λαοὶ G2992 δι’ G1223 αἵματα G129 ἀνθρώπων G444 καὶ G2532 ἀσεβείας G763 γῆς G1093 καὶ G2532 πόλεως G4172 καὶ G2532 πάντων G3956 τῶν G3588 κατοικούντων G2730 αὐτήν. G846 — [9] ὦ G5599 ὁ G3588 πλεονεκτῶν G4122 πλεονεξίαν G4124 κακὴν G2556 τῷ G3588 οἴκῳ G3624 αὐτοῦ G846 τοῦ G3588 τάξαι G5021 εἰς G1519 ὕψος G5311 νοσσιὰν G3555 αὐτοῦ G846 τοῦ G3588 ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐκ G1537 χειρὸς G5495 κακῶν. G2556 [10] Ἐβουλεύσω G1011 αἰσχύνην G152 τῷ G3588 οἴκῳ G3624 σου, G4675 συνεπέρανας λαοὺς G2992 πολλούς, G4183 καὶ G2532 ἐξήμαρτεν ἡ G3588 ψυχή G5590 σου· G4675 [11] διότι G1360 λίθος G3037 ἐκ G1537 τοίχου G5109 βοήσεται, G994 καὶ G2532 κάνθαρος ἐκ G1537 ξύλου G3586 φθέγξεται G5350 αὐτά.

G846 — [15] ὦ G5599 ὁ G3588 ποτίζων G4222 τὸν G3588 πλησίον G4139 αὐτοῦ G846 ἀνατροπῇ θολερᾷ καὶ G2532 μεθύσκων, G3182 ὅπως G3704 ἐπιβλέπῃ G1914 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰ G3588 σπήλαια G4693 αὐτῶν. G846 [16] Πλησμονὴν G4140 ἀτιμίας G819 ἐκ G1537 δόξης G1391 πίε G4095 καὶ G2532 σὺ G4771 καὶ G2532 διασαλεύθητι καὶ G2532 σείσθητι· G4579 ἐκύκλωσεν G2944 ἐπὶ G1909 σὲ G4571 ποτήριον G4221 δεξιᾶς G1188 κυρίου, G2962 καὶ G2532 συνήχθη G4863 ἀτιμία G819 ἐπὶ G1909 τὴν G3588 δόξαν G1391 σου. G4675 [17] Διότι G1360 ἀσέβεια G763 τοῦ G3588 Λιβάνου καλύψει G2572 σε, G4571 καὶ G2532 ταλαιπωρία G5004 θηρίων G2342 πτοήσει G4422 σε G4571 διὰ G1223 αἵματα G129 ἀνθρώπων G444 καὶ G2532 ἀσεβείας G763 γῆς G1093 καὶ G2532 πόλεως G4172 καὶ G2532 πάντων G3956 τῶν G3588 κατοικούντων G2730 αὐτήν. G846 — [18] Τί G5101 ὠφελεῖ G5623 γλυπτόν, ὅτι G3754 ἔγλυψαν αὐτό; G846 Ἔπλασαν G4111 αὐτὸ G846 χώνευμα, φαντασίαν G5325 ψευδῆ, G5571 ὅτι G3754 πέποιθεν G3982 ὁ G3588 πλάσας G4111 ἐπὶ G1909 τὸ G3588 πλάσμα G4110 αὐτοῦ G846 τοῦ G3588 ποιῆσαι G4160 εἴδωλα G1497 κωφά.
