thee, in making
thee
desolate because of thy sins.
14
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy
casting down
shall be
in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and
that
which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou
shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink
wine.
16
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their
counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye
shall bear the reproach of my people.
CHAPTER 7
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the
vintage:
there is
no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
2
The good
man
is perished
out of the earth: and
there is
none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every
man his brother with a net.
3
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge
asketh
for a
reward; and the great
man,
he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4
The best of
them
is
as a brier: the most upright
is sharper
than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen
and
thy
visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
5
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from
her that lieth in thy bosom.
6
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her
mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies
are
the men of his own
house.
7
Therefore I will look unto the L
ORD
; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will
hear me.
8
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the
L
ORD
shall be
a light unto me.
9
I will bear the indignation of the L
ORD
, because I have sinned
against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the
light,
and
I shall behold his righteousness.
10
Then
she that is
mine enemy shall see
it,
and shame
shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the L
ORD
thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now
shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11
In
the day that thy walls are to be built,
in
that day shall the decree be far removed.

In
that day
also
he shall come even to thee from Assyria,
and
from
the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and
from
mountain to mountain.
13
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell
therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily
in
the wood,
in the midst of Carmel: let them feed
in
Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15
According to
the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous
things.
