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 upright3474 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 ladeth3513 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 power4480 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 timber4480 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 of4480 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 filled4390 853 with the knowledge1847 of the glory3519 of the LORD,3068 as the waters4325 cover3680 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 before4480 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!]
