H3117A dayH2822of darknessH653and of gloominessH3117, a dayH6051of cloudsH6205and of thick darknessH7837, as the morningH6566spread[H8803] H2022upon the mountainsH7227: a greatH5971peopleH6099and a strongH1961; there hath not been[H8738] H5769everH3254the like, neither shall be any more[H8686] H310afterH8141it, even to the yearsH1755of manyH1755generations.
H5414Give[H8798] H3519gloryH3068to the LORDH430your GodH2821, before he cause darkness[H8686] H7272, and before your feetH5062stumble[H8691] H5399upon the darkH2022mountainsH6960, and, while ye look[H8765] H216for lightH7760, he turn[H8804] H6757it into the shadow of deathH7896, and make[H8798] [H8675] H7896 [H8799] H6205it gross darkness.
H784Therefore as the fireH398devoureth[H8800] H7179the stubbleH3956, and the flameH3852 H7503consumeth[H8799] H2842the chaffH8328, so their rootH4716shall be as rottennessH6525, and their blossomH5927shall go up[H8799] H80as dustH3988: because they have cast away[H8804] H8451the lawH3068of the LORDH6635of hostsH5006, and despised[H8765] H565the wordH6918of the Holy OneH3478of Israel.
H7971I will send[H8762] H2611him against an hypocriticalH1471nationH5971, and against the peopleH5678of my wrathH6680will I give him a charge[H8762] H7997, to take[H8800] H7998the spoilH962, and to take[H8800] H957the preyH7760, and to tread them down[H8800] H4823 H2563like the mireH2351of the streets.
H559And say[H8804] H3293to the forestH5045of the southH8085, Hear[H8798] H1697the wordH3068of the LORDH559; Thus saith[H8804] H136the LordH3069GODH3341; Behold, I will kindle[H8688] H784a fireH398in thee, and it shall devour[H8804] H3892every greenH6086treeH3002in thee, and every dryH6086treeH3852: the flamingH7957flameH3518shall not be quenched[H8799] H6440, and all facesH5045from the southH6828to the northH6866shall be burned[H8738] therein.
H1004And the houseH3290of JacobH784shall be a fireH1004, and the houseH3130of JosephH3852a flameH1004, and the houseH6215of EsauH7179for stubbleH1814, and they shall kindle[H8804] H398in them, and devour[H8804] H8300them; and there shall not be any remainingH1004of the houseH6215of EsauH3068; for the LORDH1696hath spoken[H8765] it .
H2550For I will no more pity[H8799] H3427the inhabitants[H8802] H776of the landH5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORDH4672: but, lo, I will deliver[H8688] H120the menH376every oneH7453into his neighbour'sH3027handH3027, and into the handH4428of his kingH3807: and they shall smite[H8765] H776the landH3027, and out of their handH5337I will not deliver[H8686] them .
H3117For, behold, the dayH935cometh[H8802] H1197, that shall burn[H8802] H8574as an ovenH2086; and all the proudH6213, yea, and all that do[H8802] H7564wickedlyH7179, shall be stubbleH3117: and the dayH935that cometh[H8802] H3857shall burn them up[H8765] H559, saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH6635of hostsH5800, that it shall leave[H8799] H8328them neither rootH6057nor branch.
