So a horsemanwentto meethim and said,"Thussaysthe king,'Is it peace?'"And Jehusaid,"Whathave you to do with peace?Turnbehindme." And the watchmanreported,"The messengercameto them, but he did not return."
Then he sentout a secondhorseman,who cameto them and said,"Thussaysthe king,'Is it peace?'"And Jehuanswered,"Whathave you to do with peace?Turnbehindme."
Listento Me, O islands,And payattention,you peoplesfrom afar.The LORDcalledMe from the womb;From the bodyof My motherHe namedMe.
But the wickedare like the tossingsea,For it cannotbe quiet,And its waterstossup refuseand mud.
"Thereis nopeace,"saysmy God,"for the wicked."
"Then they will goforthand lookOn the corpsesof the menWho have transgressedagainst Me. For their wormwill not dieAnd their firewill not be quenched;And they will be an abhorrenceto allmankind."
saying,"Ifyou had knownin thisday,evenyou, the things which make for peace!But nowthey have been hiddenfrom your eyes.
AND THE PATHOF PEACETHEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."
