|
| The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw. | |
|
2
|
|
| How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and thou wilt not hearken? how long shall I cry out to thee being injured, and thou wilt not save? | |
|
3
|
|
| Wherefore hast thou shewn me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward. | |
|
4
|
|
| Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly man prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed. | |
|
5
|
|
| Behold, ye despisers, and look, and wonder marvellously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you. | |
|
6
|
|
| Wherefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own. | |
|
7
|
|
| He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself. | |
|
8
|
|
| And his horses shall bound more swiftly than leopards, and they are fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat. | |
|
9
|
|
| Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand. | |
|
10
|
|
| And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it. | |
|
11
|
|
| Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, saying, This strength belongs to my god. | |
|
12
|
|
| Art not thou from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten with his correction. | |
|
13
|
|
| His eye is too pure to behold evil doings, and to look upon grievous afflictions: wherefore dost thou look upon despisers? wilt thou be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just? | |
|
14
|
|
| And wilt thou make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide? | |
|
15
|
|
| He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad. | |
|
16
|
|
| Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice. | |
|
17
|
|
| Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to slay the nations continually. |
