1  I will stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ my watch,⁴⁹³¹ and set³³²⁰ me upon⁵⁹²¹ the tower,⁴⁶⁹² and will watch⁶⁸²² to see⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ he will say¹⁶⁹⁶ unto me, and what⁴¹⁰⁰ I shall answer⁷⁷²⁵ when⁵⁹²¹ I am reproved.⁸⁴³³

2  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ me, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Write³⁷⁸⁹ the vision,²³⁷⁷ and make it plain⁸⁷⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ tables,³⁸⁷¹ that⁴⁶¹⁶ he may run⁷³²³ that readeth⁷¹²¹ it.

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ the vision²³⁷⁷ is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ for an appointed time,⁴¹⁵⁰ but at the end⁷⁰⁹³ it shall speak,⁶³¹⁵ and not³⁸⁰⁸ lie:³⁵⁷⁶ though⁵¹⁸ it tarry,⁴¹⁰² wait²⁴⁴² for it; because³⁵⁸⁸ it will surely come,^{935 935} it will not³⁸⁰⁸ tarry.³⁰⁹

4  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ his soul⁵³¹⁵ which is lifted up⁶⁰⁷⁵ is not upright^{3474 3808} in him: but the just⁶⁶⁶² shall live²⁴²¹ by his faith.⁵³⁰

5  Yea⁶³⁷ also, because³⁵⁸⁸ he transgresseth⁸⁹⁸ by wine,³¹⁹⁶ he is a proud³⁰⁹³ man,¹³⁹⁷ neither³⁸⁰⁸ keepeth at home,⁵¹¹⁵ who⁸³⁴ enlargeth⁷³³⁷ his desire⁵³¹⁵ as hell,⁷⁵⁸⁵ and is as death,⁴¹⁹⁴ and cannot³⁸⁰⁸ be satisfied,⁷⁶⁴⁶ but gathereth⁶²² unto⁴¹³ him all³⁶⁰⁵ nations,¹⁴⁷¹ and heapeth⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ him all³⁶⁰⁵ people:⁵⁹⁷¹

6  Shall not³⁸⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ take up⁵³⁷⁵ a parable⁴⁹¹² against⁵⁹²¹ him, and a taunting⁴⁴²⁶ proverb²⁴²⁰ against him, and say,⁵⁵⁹ Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ to him that increaseth⁷²³⁵ that which is not³⁸⁰⁸ his! how long?^{5704 4970} and to him that ladeth^{3513 5921} himself with thick clay!⁵⁶⁷¹

7  Shall they not³⁸⁰⁸ rise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ suddenly⁶⁶²¹ that shall bite⁵³⁹¹ thee, and awake³³⁶⁴ that shall vex²¹¹¹ thee, and thou shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ for booties⁴⁹³³ unto them?

8  Because³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast spoiled⁷⁹⁹⁷ many⁷²²⁷ nations,¹⁴⁷¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the remnant³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall spoil⁷⁹⁹⁷ thee; because of men's¹²⁰ blood,^{4480 1818} and for the violence²⁵⁵⁵ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ of the city,⁷¹⁵¹ and of all³⁶⁰⁵ that dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.

9  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ to him that coveteth¹²¹⁴ an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ covetousness¹²¹⁵ to his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that he may set⁷⁷⁶⁰ his nest⁷⁰⁶⁴ on high,⁴⁷⁹¹ that he may be delivered⁵³³⁷ from the power^{4480 3709} of evil!⁷⁴⁵¹

10  Thou hast consulted³²⁸⁹ shame¹³²² to thy house¹⁰⁰⁴ by cutting off⁷⁰⁹⁶ many⁷²²⁷ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and hast sinned²³⁹⁸ against thy soul.⁵³¹⁵

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ the stone⁶⁸ shall cry out²¹⁹⁹ of the wall,^{4480 7023} and the beam³⁷¹⁴ out of the timber^{4480 6086} shall answer⁶⁰³⁰ it.

12  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ to him that buildeth¹¹²⁹ a town⁵⁸⁹² with blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and establisheth³⁵⁵⁹ a city⁷¹⁵¹ by iniquity!⁵⁷⁶⁶

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ is it not³⁸⁰⁸ of^{4480 854} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ that the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall labor³⁰²¹ in the very¹⁷⁶⁷ fire,⁷⁸⁴ and the people³⁸¹⁶ shall weary³²⁸⁶ themselves for very¹⁷⁶⁷ vanity?⁷³⁸⁵

14  For³⁵⁸⁸ the earth⁷⁷⁶ shall be filled^{4390 853} with the knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ of the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as the waters⁴³²⁵ cover^{3680 5921} the sea.³²²⁰

15  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ unto him that giveth his neighbor drink,^{8248 7453} that puttest⁵⁵⁹⁶ thy bottle²⁵⁷³ to him, and makest him drunken⁷⁹³⁷ also,⁶³⁷ that⁴⁶¹⁶ thou mayest look⁵⁰²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ their nakedness!⁴⁵⁸⁹

16  Thou art filled⁷⁶⁴⁶ with shame⁷⁰³⁶ for glory:^{4480 3519} drink⁸³⁵⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ and let thy foreskin be uncovered:⁶¹⁸⁸ the cup³⁵⁶³ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ right hand³²²⁵ shall be turned⁵⁴³⁷ unto⁵⁹²¹ thee, and shameful spewing⁷⁰²² shall be on⁵⁹²¹ thy glory.³⁵¹⁹

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ the violence²⁵⁵⁵ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ shall cover³⁶⁸⁰ thee, and the spoil⁷⁷⁰¹ of beasts,⁹²⁹ which made them afraid,²⁸⁶⁵ because of men's¹²⁰ blood,^{4480 1818} and for the violence²⁵⁵⁵ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ of the city,⁷¹⁵¹ and of all³⁶⁰⁵ that dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.

18  What⁴¹⁰⁰ profiteth³²⁷⁶ the graven image⁶⁴⁵⁹ that³⁵⁸⁸ the maker³³³⁵ thereof hath graven⁶⁴⁵⁸ it; the molten image,⁴⁵⁴¹ and a teacher³³⁸⁴ of lies,⁸²⁶⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ the maker³³³⁵ of his work³³³⁶ trusteth⁹⁸² therein,⁵⁹²¹ to make⁶²¹³ dumb⁴⁸³ idols?⁴⁵⁷

19  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ unto him that saith⁵⁵⁹ to the wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ Awake;⁶⁹⁷⁴ to the dumb¹⁷⁴⁸ stone,⁶⁸ Arise,⁵⁷⁸² it¹⁹³¹ shall teach!³³⁸⁴ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it¹⁹³¹ is laid over⁸⁶¹⁰ with gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver,³⁷⁰¹ and there is no³⁶⁹ breath⁷³⁰⁷ at all³⁶⁰⁵ in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of it.

20  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is in his holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ temple:¹⁹⁶⁴ let all³⁶⁰⁵ the earth⁷⁷⁶ keep silence²⁰¹³ before^{4480 6440} him.

1 ἐπὶ τῆς φυλακῆς μου στήσομαι καὶ ἐπιβήσομαι ἐπὶ πέτραν καὶ ἀποσκοπεύσω τοῦ ἰδεῖν τί λαλήσει ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ τί ἀποκριθῶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἔλεγχόν μου

2 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη πρός με κύριος καὶ εἶπεν γράψον ὅρασιν καὶ σαφῶς ἐπὶ πυξίον ὅπως διώκῃ ὁ ἀναγινώσκων αὐτά

3 διότι ἔτι ὅρασις εἰς καιρὸν καὶ ἀνατελεῖ εἰς πέρας καὶ οὐκ εἰς κενόν ἐὰν ὑστερήσῃ ὑπόμεινον αὐτόν ὅτι ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ μὴ χρονίσῃ

4 ἐὰν ὑποστείληται οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεώς μου ζήσεται

5 ὁ δὲ κατοινωμένος καὶ καταφρονητὴς ἀνὴρ ἀλαζών οὐδὲν μὴ περάνῃ ὃς ἐπλάτυνεν καθὼς ὁ ᾅδης τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὗτος ὡς θάνατος οὐκ ἐμπιπλάμενος καὶ ἐπισυνάξει ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ εἰσδέξεται πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς λαούς

6 οὐχὶ ταῦτα πάντα παραβολὴν κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ λήμψονται καὶ πρόβλημα εἰς διήγησιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν οὐαὶ ὁ πληθύνων ἑαυτῷ τὰ οὐκ ὄντα αὐτοῦ ἕως τίνος καὶ βαρύνων τὸν κλοιὸν αὐτοῦ στιβαρῶς

7 ὅτι ἐξαίφνης ἀναστήσονται δάκνοντες αὐτόν καὶ ἐκνήψουσιν οἱ ἐπίβουλοί σου καὶ ἔσῃ εἰς διαρπαγὴν αὐτοῖς

8 διότι σὺ ἐσκύλευσας ἔθνη πολλά σκυλεύσουσίν σε πάντες οἱ ὑπολελειμμένοι λαοὶ δι᾽ αἵματα ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀσεβείας γῆς καὶ πόλεως καὶ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων αὐτήν

9 ὦ ὁ πλεονεκτῶν πλεονεξίαν κακὴν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ τοῦ τάξαι εἰς ὕψος νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐκ χειρὸς κακῶν

10 ἐβουλεύσω αἰσχύνην τῷ οἴκῳ σου συνεπέρανας λαοὺς πολλούς καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν ἡ ψυχή σου

11 διότι λίθος ἐκ τοίχου βοήσεται καὶ κάνθαρος ἐκ ξύλου φθέγξεται αὐτά

12 οὐαὶ ὁ οἰκοδομῶν πόλιν ἐν αἵμασιν καὶ ἑτοιμάζων πόλιν ἐν ἀδικίαις

13 οὐ ταῦτά ἐστιν παρὰ κυρίου παντοκράτορος καὶ ἐξέλιπον λαοὶ ἱκανοὶ ἐν πυρί καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ ὠλιγοψύχησαν

14 ὅτι πλησθήσεται ἡ γῆ τοῦ γνῶναι τὴν δόξαν κυρίου ὡς ὕδωρ κατακαλύψει αὐτούς

15 ὦ ὁ ποτίζων τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀνατροπῇ θολερᾷ καὶ μεθύσκων ὅπως ἐπιβλέπῃ ἐπὶ τὰ σπήλαια αὐτῶν

16 πλησμονὴν ἀτιμίας ἐκ δόξης πίε καὶ σὺ καὶ διασαλεύθητι καὶ σείσθητι ἐκύκλωσεν ἐπὶ σὲ ποτήριον δεξιᾶς κυρίου καὶ συνήχθη ἀτιμία ἐπὶ τὴν δόξαν σου

17 διότι ἀσέβεια τοῦ Λιβάνου καλύψει σε καὶ ταλαιπωρία θηρίων πτοήσει σε διὰ αἵματα ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀσεβείας γῆς καὶ πόλεως καὶ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων αὐτήν

18 τί ὠφελεῖ γλυπτόν ὅτι ἔγλυψαν αὐτό ἔπλασαν αὐτὸ χώνευμα φαντασίαν ψευδῆ ὅτι πέποιθεν ὁ πλάσας ἐπὶ τὸ πλάσμα αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι εἴδωλα κωφά

19 οὐαὶ ὁ λέγων τῷ ξύλῳ ἔκνηψον ἐξεγέρθητι καὶ τῷ λίθῳ ὑψώθητι καὶ αὐτό ἐστιν φαντασία τοῦτο δέ ἐστιν ἔλασμα χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ

20 ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ εὐλαβείσθω ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ

1 [Super custodiam meam stabo,
et figam gradum super munitionem:
et contemplabor ut videam quid dicatur mihi,
et quid respondeam ad arguentem me.]

2 Et respondit mihi Dominus, et dixit: [Scribe visum, et explana eum super tabulas,
ut percurrat qui legerit eum.

3 Quia adhuc visus procul;
et apparebit in finem, et non mentietur:
si moram fecerit, exspecta illum,
quia veniens veniet, et non tardabit.

4 Ecce qui incredulus est, non erit recta anima ejus in semetipso;
justus autem in fide sua vivet.

5 Et quomodo vinum potantem decipit,
sic erit vir superbus, et non decorabitur:
qui dilatavit quasi infernus animam suam,
et ipse quasi mors, et non adimpletur:
et congregabit ad se omnes gentes,
et coacervabit ad se omnes populos.

6 Numquid non omnes isti super eum parabolam sument,
et loquelam ænigmatum ejus, et dicetur:
Væ ei qui multiplicat non sua?
usquequo et aggravat contra se densum lutum?

7 Numquid non repente consurgent qui mordeant te,
et suscitabuntur lacerantes te,
et eris in rapinam eis?

8 Quia tu spoliasti gentes multas,
spoliabunt te omnes qui reliqui fuerint de populis,
propter sanguinem hominis,
et iniquitatem terræ, civitatis, et omnium habitantium in ea.

9 Væ qui congregat avaritiam malam domui suæ,
ut sit in excelso nidus ejus,
et liberari se putat de manu mali!

10 Cogitasti confusionem domui tuæ;
concidisti populos multos,
et peccavit anima tua.

11 Quia lapis de pariete clamabit,
et lignum, quod inter juncturas ædificiorum est, respondebit.

12 Væ qui ædificat civitatem in sanguinibus,
et præparat urbem in iniquitate!

13 Numquid non hæc sunt a Domino exercituum?
laborabunt enim populi in multo igne,
et gentes in vacuum, et deficient.

14 Quia replebitur terra, ut cognoscant gloriam Domini,
quasi aquæ operientes mare.

15 Væ qui potum dat amico suo mittens fel suum,
et inebrians ut aspiciat nuditatem ejus!

16 Repletus es ignominia pro gloria;
bibe tu quoque, et consopire.
Circumdabit te calix dexteræ Domini,
et vomitus ignominiæ super gloriam tuam.

17 Quia iniquitas Libani operiet te,
et vastitas animalium deterrebit eos
de sanguinibus hominum,
et iniquitate terræ, et civitatis, et omnium habitantium in ea.

18 Quid prodest sculptile, quia sculpsit illud fictor suus,
conflatile, et imaginem falsam?
quia speravit in figmento fictor ejus, ut faceret simulacra muta.

19 Væ qui dicit ligno: Expergiscere;
Surge, lapidi tacenti!
Numquid ipse docere poterit?
ecce iste coopertus est auro et argento,
et omnis spiritus non est in visceribus ejus.

20 Dominus autem in templo sancto suo:
sileat a facie ejus omnis terra!]
