Woe, rebellious children, declares יהוה, to make a plan but not from me, and to pour out a drink offering and not by my spirit, so as to add sin upon sin.

Going down to Mitsrayim, and my mouth has not asked, to take refuge in the strength of Par'oh, and to hide in the shadow of Mitsrayim.

And the strength of Par'oh will be for your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Mitsrayim for your disgrace.

For his princes were in Tso'an, and his messengers reached Ḥanes.

Everyone who comes to them will be ashamed of a people who do not profit them, not for help, and not for profit, but for shame and also for disgrace.

The burden of the beasts of the Negev, in a land of trouble and distress, the lioness and the lion, from them the viper and the flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulder of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people who do not profit.

And Mitsrayim is empty and in vain they will help; therefore I called her Rahav, they are quiet.

Now go, write this on a tablet with them, and in a book inscribe it, and it will be for a future day, forever, until eternity.

For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who refuse to hear the instruction of יהוה.

Who say to the seers, 'Do not see,' and to the prophets, 'Do not prophesy for us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions.'

Turn from the way, turn aside from the path, remove from our sight the Holy One of Yisra'el.

Therefore, so says the Holy One of Yisra'el, 'Because you reject this word, and you trust in oppression and perversity, and you lean on it.'

Therefore, this iniquity will be to you like a breach about to fall, a bulging wall, its ruin will come suddenly, suddenly.

And its breaking will be like the breaking of a potter's jar, shattered, it will not be spared, and there will not be found in its fragments a shard to scoop fire from the hearth, or to draw water from the cistern.

For so says Adonai יהוה, the Holy One of Yisra'el: 'In returning and rest you will be saved; in quietness and in trust will be your strength, and you would not.'

And you said, 'No, but on a horse we will flee; therefore you will flee; and on a swift one we will ride; therefore your pursuers will be swift.'

One thousand from the face of a rebuke of one; from the face of the rebuke of five you will flee, until you are left like a flagpole on top of the mountain, and like a banner on the hill.

And therefore יהוה will wait to show you favor, and therefore he will be exalted to show you mercy; for יהוה is a Elohim of justice; blessed are all who wait for him.

For a people will dwell in Tsiyon in Yerushalayim; you will weep no more; he will surely show favor to your cry at the sound of your voice; when he hears, he will answer you.

And Adonai will give you the bread of adversity and the water of distress, and your teachers will not hide themselves anymore, and your eyes will see your teachers.

And your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right and when you turn to the left.

And you will defile the covering of your silver idols, and the ornament of your molten gold; you will scatter them like a menstruous thing; you will say to it, 'Get out.'

And he will give rain for your seed with which you sow the ground, and bread from the produce of the ground, and it will be rich and plentiful; your livestock will graze in that day in a wide pasture.

And the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground will eat seasoned fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

And on every high mountain and on every lofty hill there will be streams of flowing water on the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.

And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times, like the light of the seven days, on the day יהוה binds up the fracture of his people and heals the wound of his blow.

Behold, the name of יהוה comes from afar, his anger burning, and his burden heavy; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a consuming fire.

And his spirit is like a flooding stream that reaches the neck, to shake the nations with the sieve of vanity, and a misleading bridle on the jaws of the peoples.

You will have a song like the night of a sacred festival, and joy of heart, like one who walks with a flute to come to the mountain of יהוה, to the Rock of Yisra'el.

And יהוה will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and he will show the descent of his arm in fierce anger and in the flame of a consuming fire, with scattering and storm and hail.

For from the voice of יהוה Assyria will be terrified, with the rod he will strike.

And every passing of the rod of appointment, which יהוה will lay upon him, will be with tambourines and with lyres; and in battles of brandishing he will fight against them.

For Topheth has been prepared from of old; indeed, it is prepared for the king; he has made it deep and wide; its pyre is fire and much wood; the breath of יהוה, like a stream of sulfur, is burning in it.
