1
I will stand
on my guard post
And station
myself on the rampart;
And I will keep watch
to see
what
He will speak
to me, And how
I may reply
when
I am reproved.
2
Then the LORD
answered
me and said,
"Record
the vision
And inscribe
it on tablets,
That the one who reads
it may run.
3
"For the vision
is yet
for the appointed time;
It hastens
toward the goal
and it will not fail.
Though
it tarries,
wait
for it; For it will certainly
come,
it will not delay.
4
"Behold,
as for the proud
one, His soul
is not right
within him; But the righteous
will live
by his faith.
5
"Furthermore,
wine
betrays
the haughty
man,
So that he does not stay at home.
He enlarges
his appetite
like Sheol,
And he is like death,
never
satisfied.
He also gathers
to himself all
nations
And collects
to himself all
peoples.
6
"Will not all
of these
take
up a taunt-song
against
him, Even mockery
and insinuations
against
him And say,
'
Woe
to him who increases
what is not his-- For how
long--
And makes himself rich
with loans?'
7
"Will not your creditors
rise
up suddenly,
And those who collect
from you awaken?
Indeed, you will become
plunder
for them.
8
"Because
you have looted
many
nations,
All
the remainder
of the peoples
will loot
you-- Because
of human
bloodshed
and violence
done to the land,
To the town
and all
its inhabitants.
9
"Woe
to him who gets
evil
gain
for his house
To put
his nest
on high,
To be delivered
from the hand
of calamity!
10
"You have devised
a shameful thing
for your house
By cutting off
many
peoples;
So you are sinning
against yourself.
11
"Surely
the stone
will cry
out from the wall,
And the rafter
will answer
it from the framework.
12
"Woe
to him who builds
a city
with bloodshed
And founds
a town
with violence!
13
"Is it not indeed
from the LORD
of hosts
That peoples
toil
for fire,
And nations
grow weary
for nothing?
14
"For the earth
will be filled
With the knowledge
of the glory
of the LORD,
As the waters
cover
the sea.
15
"Woe
to you who make your neighbors
drink,
Who mix
in your venom
even
to make them drunk
So
as to look
on their nakedness!
16
"You will be filled
with disgrace
rather than
honor.
Now
you yourself
drink
and expose your own nakedness.
The cup
in the LORD'S
right hand
will come around
to you, And utter disgrace
will come upon your glory.
17
"For the violence
done to Lebanon
will overwhelm
you, And the devastation
of its beasts
by which you terrified
them, Because
of human
bloodshed
and violence
done to the land,
To the town
and all
its inhabitants.
18
"What
profit
is the idol
when
its maker
has carved
it, Or an image,
a teacher
of falsehood?
For
its maker
trusts
in his own handiwork
When he fashions
speechless
idols.
19
"Woe
to him who says
to a piece of wood,
'
Awake!'
To a mute
stone,
'Arise!'
And that is your teacher?
Behold,
it is overlaid
with gold
and silver,
And there is no
breath
at all
inside
it.
20
"But the LORD
is in His holy
temple.
Let all
the earth
be silent
before
Him."
