Woe
ה֚וֹי
to them that are at ease
הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּ֣ים
in Zion
בְּצִיּ֔וֹן
and trust
וְהַבֹּטְחִ֖ים
in the mountain
בְּהַ֣ר
of Samaria
שֹׁמְר֑וֹן
which are named
נְקֻבֵי֙
chief
רֵאשִׁ֣ית
of the nations
הַגּוֹיִ֔ם
came
וּבָ֥אוּ
 
לָהֶ֖ם
to whom the house
בֵּ֥ית
of Israel
יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
2
Pass
עִבְר֤וּ
ye unto Calneh
כַֽלְנֵה֙
and see
וּרְא֔וּ
 
וּלְכ֥וּ
 
מִשָּׁ֖ם
ye to Hamath
חֲמַ֣ת
greater
רַ֥ב
then go down
וּרְד֣וּ
to Gath
גַת
of the Philistines
פְּלִשְׁתּ֗ים
be they better
הֲטוֹבִים֙
 
מִן
than these kingdoms
הַמַּמְלָכ֣וֹת
 
הָאֵ֔לֶּה
 
אִם
greater
רַ֥ב
or their border
מִגְּבֻלְכֶֽם׃
or their border
מִגְּבֻלְכֶֽם׃
3
Ye that put far away
הַֽמְנַדִּ֖ים
day
לְי֣וֹם
the evil
רָ֑ע
to come near
וַתַּגִּשׁ֖וּן
and cause the seat
שֶׁ֥בֶת
of violence
חָמָֽס׃
4
That lie
הַשֹּֽׁכְבִים֙
 
עַל
upon beds
מִטּ֣וֹת
of ivory
שֵׁ֔ן
and stretch
וּסְרֻחִ֖ים
 
עַל
themselves upon their couches
עַרְשׂוֹתָ֑ם
and eat
וְאֹכְלִ֤ים
the lambs
כָּרִים֙
out of the flock
מִצֹּ֔אן
and the calves
וַעֲגָלִ֖ים
out of the midst
מִתּ֥וֹךְ
of the stall
מַרְבֵּֽק׃
5
That chant
הַפֹּרְטִ֖ים
 
עַל
to the sound
פִּ֣י
of the viol
הַנָּ֑בֶל
like David
כְּדָוִ֕יד
and invent
חָשְׁב֥וּ
 
לָהֶ֖ם
to themselves instruments
כְּלֵי
of musick
שִֽׁיר׃
6
That drink
הַשֹּׁתִ֤ים
in bowls
בְּמִזְרְקֵי֙
wine
יַ֔יִן
themselves with the chief
וְרֵאשִׁ֥ית
ointments
שְׁמָנִ֖ים
and anoint
יִמְשָׁ֑חוּ
 
וְלֹ֥א
but they are not grieved
נֶחְל֖וּ
 
עַל
for the affliction
שֵׁ֥בֶר
of Joseph
יוֹסֵֽף׃
7
 
לָכֵ֛ן
 
עַתָּ֥ה
Therefore now shall they go captive
גֹּלִ֑ים
with the first
בְּרֹ֣אשׁ
Therefore now shall they go captive
גֹּלִ֑ים
themselves shall be removed
וְסָ֖ר
and the banquet
מִרְזַ֥ח
of them that stretched
סְרוּחִֽים׃
8
hath sworn
נִשְׁבַּע֩
The Lord
אֲדֹנָ֨י
GOD
יְהוִ֜ה
by himself
בְּנַפְשׁ֗וֹ
saith
נְאֻם
the LORD
יְהוָה֙
the God
אֱלֹהֵ֣י
of hosts
צְבָא֔וֹת
I abhor
מְתָאֵ֤ב
 
אָֽנֹכִי֙
 
אֶת
the excellency
גְּא֣וֹן
of Jacob
יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב
his palaces
וְאַרְמְנֹתָ֖יו
and hate
שָׂנֵ֑אתִי
therefore will I deliver up
וְהִסְגַּרְתִּ֖י
the city
עִ֥יר
with all that is therein
וּמְלֹאָֽהּ׃
9
 
וְהָיָ֗ה
 
אִם
And it shall come to pass if there remain
יִוָּ֨תְר֜וּ
ten
עֲשָׂרָ֧ה
 
אֲנָשִׁ֛ים
house
בְּבַ֥יִת
in one
אֶחָ֖ד
that they shall die
וָמֵֽתוּ׃
10
shall take him up
וּנְשָׂא֞וֹ
And a man's uncle
דּוֹד֣וֹ
and he that burneth
וּמְסָרְפ֗וֹ
him to bring out
לְהוֹצִ֣יא
the bones
עֲצָמִים֮
 
מִן
of the house
הַבַּ֛יִת
Is there yet any with thee and he shall say
וְאָמַ֣ר
 
לַאֲשֶׁ֨ר
unto him that is by the sides
בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֥י
of the house
הַבַּ֛יִת
 
הַע֥וֹד
 
עִמָּ֖ךְ
Is there yet any with thee and he shall say
וְאָמַ֣ר
No
אָ֑פֶס
Is there yet any with thee and he shall say
וְאָמַ֣ר
Hold thy tongue
הָ֔ס
 
כִּ֛י
 
לֹ֥א
for we may not make mention
לְהַזְכִּ֖יר
of the name
בְּשֵׁ֥ם
of the LORD
יְהוָֽה׃
11
 
כִּֽי
 
הִנֵּ֤ה
For behold the LORD
יְהוָה֙
commandeth
מְצַוֶּ֔ה
and he will smite
וְהִכָּ֛ה
house
וְהַבַּ֥יִת
the great
הַגָּד֖וֹל
with breaches
רְסִיסִ֑ים
house
וְהַבַּ֥יִת
and the little
הַקָּטֹ֖ן
with clefts
בְּקִעִֽים׃
12
run
הַיְרֻצ֤וּן
upon the rock
בַּסֶּ֙לַע֙
Shall horses
סוּסִ֔ים
 
אִֽם
will one plow
יַחֲר֖וֹשׁ
there with oxen
בַּבְּקָרִ֑ים
 
כִּֽי
for ye have turned
הֲפַכְתֶּ֤ם
into gall
לְרֹאשׁ֙
judgment
מִשְׁפָּ֔ט
and the fruit
וּפְרִ֥י
of righteousness
צְדָקָ֖ה
into hemlock
לְלַעֲנָֽה׃
13
 
הַשְּׂמֵחִ֖ים
of nought
הֲל֣וֹא
in a thing
דָבָ֑ר
which say
הָאֹ֣מְרִ֔ים
of nought
הֲל֣וֹא
by our own strength
בְחָזְקֵ֔נוּ
Have we not taken
לָקַ֥חְנוּ
 
לָ֖נוּ
to us horns
קַרְנָֽיִם׃
14
 
כִּ֡י
 
הִנְנִי֩
But behold I will raise up
מֵקִ֨ים
 
עֲלֵיכֶ֜ם
O house
בֵּ֣ית
of Israel
יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל
saith
נְאֻם
the LORD
יְהוָ֛ה
the God
אֱלֹהֵ֥י
of hosts
הַצְּבָא֖וֹת
against you a nation
גּ֑וֹי
and they shall afflict
וְלָחֲצ֥וּ
 
אֶתְכֶ֛ם
you from the entering in
מִלְּב֥וֹא
of Hemath
חֲמָ֖ת
 
עַד
unto the river
נַ֥חַל
of the wilderness
הָעֲרָבָֽה׃
