# Chapter 2
|
|
1. I will stand my watch
|
|
And set myself on the rampart,
|
|
And watch to see what He will say to me,
|
|
And what I will answer when I am corrected.The Just Live by Faith
|
|
|
|
2. Then the Lord answered me and said:
|
|
"Write the vision
|
|
And make it plain on tablets,
|
|
That he may run who reads it.
|
|
|
|
3. For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
|
|
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
|
|
Though it tarries, wait for it;
|
|
Because it will surely come,
|
|
It will not tarry.
|
|
|
|
4. "Behold the proud,
|
|
His soul is not upright in him;
|
|
But the just shall live by his faith.Woe to the Wicked
|
|
|
|
5. "Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
|
|
He is a proud man,
|
|
And he does not stay at home.
|
|
Because he enlarges his desire as hell,
|
|
And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,
|
|
He gathers to himself all nations
|
|
And heaps up for himself all peoples.
|
|
|
|
6. "Will not all these take up a proverb against him,
|
|
And a taunting riddle against him, and say,
|
|
'Woe to him who increases
|
|
What is not his--how long?
|
|
And to him who loads himself with many pledges'?
|
|
|
|
7. Will not your creditors rise up suddenly?
|
|
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
|
|
And you will become their booty.
|
|
|
|
8. Because you have plundered many nations,
|
|
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
|
|
Because of men's blood
|
|
And the violence of the land and the city,
|
|
And of all who dwell in it.
|
|
|
|
9. "Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
|
|
That he may set his nest on high,
|
|
That he may be delivered from the power of disaster!
|
|
|
|
10. You give shameful counsel to your house,
|
|
Cutting off many peoples,
|
|
And sin against your soul.
|
|
|
|
11. For the stone will cry out from the wall,
|
|
And the beam from the timbers will answer it.
|
|
|
|
12. "Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
|
|
Who establishes a city by iniquity!
|
|
|
|
13. Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
|
|
That the peoples labor to feed the fire,
|
|
And nations weary themselves in vain?
|
|
|
|
14. For the earth will be filled
|
|
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
|
|
As the waters cover the sea.
|
|
|
|
15. "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,
|
|
Pressing him to your bottle,
|
|
Even to make him drunk,
|
|
That you may look on his nakedness!
|
|
|
|
16. You are filled with shame instead of glory.
|
|
You also--drink!
|
|
And be exposed as uncircumcised!
|
|
The cup of the Lord's right hand will be turned against you,
|
|
And utter shame will be on your glory.
|
|
|
|
17. For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you,
|
|
And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid,
|
|
Because of men's blood
|
|
And the violence of the land and the city,
|
|
And of all who dwell in it.
|
|
|
|
18. "What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it,
|
|
The molded image, a teacher of lies,
|
|
That the maker of its mold should trust in it,
|
|
To make mute idols?
|
|
|
|
19. Woe to him who says to wood, 'Awake!'
|
|
To silent stone, 'Arise! It shall teach!'
|
|
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
|
|
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
|
|
|
|
20. "But the Lord is in His holy temple.
|
|
Let all the earth keep silence before Him."
