And take_away and cut_down -the branches.

And the? fowls -shall_summer upon

Of a people scattered and peeled,
And from a people terrible from their_beginning ,« hitherto ;

Whose land the rivers have spoil-

And the_heart_of Egypt shall_melt |’
in the_midst_of it.
2And I -will_set the Egyptians against the Egyptians:
And they -shall_fight every_one against his brother,
And ‘every_one against his neigh- bour;
City against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the_spirit_of Egypt -shall_fail in the_midst thereof ;
And I will _s destroy the _counsel thereof :
And they «shall_seek to the “idols, and to the charmers,
And to them_that have_familiar_ spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians -will _I _give_ over into the_hand_of a cruel =lord ;
ae . fierce king shall_rule_over
salt the A- Lord, )the Lorp of_ ost: 5 and a the waters *shall_fail from the
ana: the river shall_be_wasted and -dried_up. 6 And they -shall_turn the rivers far_ away; And ae brooks_of defence shall_ be_emptied and -dried_up: agg reeds and flags -shall_wither. The paper_reeds by the brooks, by the_mouth_of the brooks, And every_thing sown by the brooks, Shall eather, be_driven_away, and be no more. 8 The fishers also -shall_mourn, And all they_that_cast angle into the brooks -shall_lament, And they_that_spread nets upon the waters -shall_languish.

Because of the_spoiling_of the_ daughter_of my people.

Breaking down the -walls, and of crying to the mountains.

The lofty city, He Hayeth_it_low:
He tlayeth_it_low, even to the ¢ ground ;
He tbringeth it even to the dust.
6 The foot shall_tread_it_down,
Even the_feet_of the -poor, and the_steps_of the =needy.
7 The_way_of the -just 7s upright- ness :
Thou, Most_upright, 'dost_p weigh the_path_of the —just.
8 Yea, in the_way_of Thy judgments, O_) Lorp, have we waited for Thee;
The_desire_of our soul is to Thy name, and to the_remembrance_ of Thee.
9 With my soul have I desired Thee in the night ;
Yea, with my spirit within me will_ I_seek_Thee_early :
For when Thy judgments are in the earth, the_inhabitants_of the world -will_learn righteousness.
10 Let _favour __be_shewed to the l-wicked, yet -will he not learn righteousness :
In the_land_of uprightness will_ he_deal_unjustly,
And will not behold the_majesty_ of J the Lorp.
11 J Lorp, when Thy hand is_lifted_up, they will not see:
But they shall_see, and be_ashamed for their envy at the -people ;
Yea, the_fire_of Thine enemies shall_devour them.
-125 Lorp, Thou wilt_ordain peace for
us:
For Thou also -hast_wrought all our works in us.
13 O_J Lorp our 2God, other lords be- side Thee have _had_dominion over us:
But by Thee only will_we_make_ mention_of Thy name.
14 They are dead, they shall not live ;
They are deceased, they shall not rise:
Therefore -hast_Thou_visited and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to_ perish.
145 Thou chast_increased the nation, O_‘ Lorp, Thou -hast_increased the nation: Thou sart_glorified :
Thou -hadst_removed it far wnto all the_ends_of the earth.
16 J LorD, in xtrouble have they visited Thee,
They poured_out a w prayer when Thy chastening was upon them.
V7 Like as a woman_with_child,
That *draweth_near the_time_of_ her_delivery, ‘is_in_pain, and Ferieth_out in her pangs ;
So shave_we_been in Thy sight, O_ J Lorp.
18 We -have_been _ with _child, we shave_been_in_pain,
We -haye_as_it_were brought_forth wind ;
We -have not wrought any_deliver- ance in the earth;
Neither ‘have the_inhabitants_of the world fallen.”
19 Thy ¢=dead men shall_live,
Together with My dead_body shall_ they_arise.
-Awake and «sing, ye_-that_dwell_in dust:
For thy dew is as the_dew_of herbs,
And the earth shall_cast_out the te
r=d 2% »Come, My -people, -enter thou into thy chambers, And «shut thy doors about thee: *Hide_thyself as_it_were for a little moment, Until the indignation tbe - over-
past. 21 For, behold, Jthe Lorp cometh out_
of His place
To punish the_inhabitants_of the earth for their iniquity :
The earth also -shall_disclose her -=blood,
And shall no more coyer her =slain.
Q7 IN xthat xday J the Lorp with His
xsore and *xgreat and xstrong sword,
Shall_punish leviathan the / pierc- ing serpent,
Even leviathan that_crooked ser-
pent ; And He -shall_slay «the dragon that 7s in the sea. " 2 In xthat xday «sing ye unto her, A vineyard_of red_wine. 8 ¥ J the Lorp +do_keep it ; I will_water it every_moment : Lest any hurt it, I will_Keep it night and day. 4 Fury zs not in Me: Who twould_set the -briers and -thorns against Me in xbattle ? I twould_go through them, I twould_burn them together. 5 Or et_him_take_hold_of My strength, That he ‘may_make peace with
Me; And he shall_make peace with Me. 6 He shall_cause «them_that come_ of Jacob to take_root:
Tsraél shall_blossom and «bud,
And -fill the_face_of the world with_fruit.
7 Hath_He_smitten him, as He smote those_that_smote him?
Or -is_he_slain according_to the_ slaughter _of them _ that - are _ slain_by him?
8 In measure, when it shooteth_forth, Thou wilt_debate_with it : :
He -stayeth His rough_wind in the_ day_of the east_wind,
9 By this therefore shall the_iniquity_ of Jacob be_e purged ;
And this és all the fruit to take_ away his sin ;
When He maketh all the_stones_of the altar as chalkstones that_are_ beaten_in_sunder,
The groves and simages shall not stand_up,
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate,
And the habitation forsaken, and left like a xwilderness :
There shall the calf feed,
And there shall_he_lie.down, and *consume the_branches thereof.
