¹ You shall not make for you vain·​·gods^◦ nor a graven image; you shall not raise·​·up a statue; you shall not put^◦ stone imagery in your land, to bow·​·down to it; for I^◦ am Jehovah your God.

² My Sabbaths you shall keep, and My sanctuary you shall fear; I^◦ am Jehovah.

³ If you walk^◦ in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;

⁴ then I will give your showers in their time, and the land shall give her produce, and the tree of the field shall give its fruit.

⁵ And for you the threshing shall overtake the vintage, and the vintage shall overtake the seed time; and you shall eat your bread to satisfaction, and dwell in your land securely.

⁶ And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie·​·down, and none shall frighten you; and I will make the evil animal cease from the land, and the sword shall not pass·​·through in your land.

⁷ And you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸ And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you shall pursue a myriad; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹ And I will turn· My ·face to^▵ you, and make· you ·fruitful, and multiply you, and raise·​·up My covenant with^◦ you.

¹⁰ And you shall eat the old which is old^*, and bring·​·out the old from before the new.

¹¹ And I will put^◦ My Habitation among^▵ you; and My soul shall not abhor you.

¹² And I will walk among^▵ you, and will be your God, and you^◦ shall be My people.

¹³ I^◦ am Jehovah your God, who brought· you ·out from the land of Egypt, from being their servants; and I have broken the braces of your yoke, and caused you to go erect.

¹⁴ But if you will not hearken to Me, and will not do all these commandments;

¹⁵ and if you shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor My judgments, that you will not^▵ do all My commandments, to make· My covenant ·of·​·none·​·effect,

¹⁶ I^◦ also^◦ will do this to you; and I will visit on you vexation, the consumption, and the fever, that shall consume· the eyes ·completely, and torment of soul; and you shall sow your seed to emptiness, and your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷ And I will put^◦ My face against^◦ you, and you shall be struck before your enemies; they that hate you shall have·​·dominion over^◦ you; and you shall flee and none pursues you.

¹⁸ And if you will not as·​·far·​·as these hearken to Me, then I will chastise you seven times again for^▵ your sins.

¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your strength; and I will put^◦ your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;

²⁰ and your power shall be finished in emptiness; and your land shall not give her produce, and the tree of the land shall not give its fruit.

²¹ And if you walk^◦ contrary with Me, and are· not ·willing to hearken to Me; then I will add upon you seven smitings according·​·to your sins.

²² And I will send wild·​·animals of the field among^◦ you, and they shall bereave you, and shall cut·​·off your beasts, and make· you ·few; and your ways shall be·​·desolate.

²³ And if you will not be instructed^◦ by^▵ Me by these things, but will walk contrary to Me;

²⁴ and I^◦ will also^◦ walk contrary to you, and I^◦ will smite you yet^◦ seven times for^▵ your sins.

²⁵ And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the vengeance of My covenant; and when you are gathered·​·together into^▵ your cities, I will send the pestilence among^▵ you; and you shall be given into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶ When I have broken the rod of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall return you your bread by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

²⁷ And if you will not in this hearken to Me, but walk contrary to Me;

²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you also in fury; and I, yea, I^◦, will chastise you seven times for^▵ your sins.

²⁹ And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat.

³⁰ And I will blot·​·out your high·​·places, and cut·​·off your sun·​·statues, and put^◦ your corpses upon the corpses of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you.

³¹ And I will put^◦ your cities as a waste, and I will desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the restful smell of your offerings.

³² And I^◦ will desolate the land; and your enemies upon her who dwell in her shall be·​·desolate.

³³ And I will disperse you among^◦ the nations, and will unsheathe a sword after you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be a waste.

³⁴ Then shall the land be·​·well·​·pleased in her Sabbaths, all the days of her desolation, and you^◦ are in the land of your enemies; then shall the land rest^◦, and be well·​·pleased in her Sabbaths.

³⁵ All the days it is·​·desolate it shall rest^◦; that it did not rest^◦ in your Sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it.

³⁶ And upon them that are left among^◦ you I will bring dismay^* into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the voice of a leaf blown·​·away shall pursue them; and they shall flee as·​·if fleeing a sword; and they shall fall and none pursues.

³⁷ And they shall stumble, a man^◦ upon^◦ his brother, as·​·it·​·were before a sword, and none pursues; and you^◦ shall have no^◦ power to stand before your enemies

³⁸ And you shall perish among^◦ the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat· you ·up.

³⁹ And they who are left among^◦ you shall waste·​·away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and yea, in the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste·​·away with them.

⁴⁰ And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against^◦ Me, and that also^◦ they have walked contrary to Me;

⁴¹ and that I^◦ also^◦ have gone contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then are·​·well·​·pleasing of the punishment of their iniquity;

⁴² and I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also^◦ My covenant with Isaac, and also^◦ My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

⁴³ And the land shall be forsaken of them^◦, and shall be·​·well·​·pleased with^◦ her Sabbaths, when she is·​·desolated from them^◦. And they^◦ shall be·​·well·​·pleased with^◦ their iniquity; because, even^◦ because, they rejected My judgments, and their soul abhorred My statutes.

⁴⁴ And yea, for even this, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them to consume· them ·all, to make· My covenant with them ·of·​·none·​·effect; for I^◦ am Jehovah their God.

⁴⁵ But I will remember for them the covenant of the first ones, whom I brought·​·out from the land of Egypt in the eyes of the nations, to be to them their God; I^◦ am Jehovah.

⁴⁶ These are the statutes and judgments and laws which Jehovah gave, between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

¹ But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

² The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the light has shined.

³ You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

⁴ For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

⁵ For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.

⁶ For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

⁸ The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.

⁹ All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,

¹⁰ "The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."

¹¹ Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,

¹² The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

¹³ Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁴ Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.

¹⁵ The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.

¹⁶ For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

¹⁹ Through the wrath of Yahweh of Armies, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.

²⁰ One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:

²¹ Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
