10:1 Hear 8085 8798 ye the word 1697 which the LORD 3068 speaketh 1696 8765 unto you, O house 1004 of Israel 3478:

10:2 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Learn 3925 8799 not the way 1870 of the heathen 1471, and be not dismayed 2865 8735 at the signs 226 of heaven 8064; for the heathen 1471 are dismayed 2865 8735 at them 1992.

10:3 For the customs 2708 of the people 5971 [are] vain 1892: for [one] cutteth 3772 8804 a tree 6086 out of the forest 3293, the work 4639 of the hands 3027 of the workman 2796, with the axe 4621.(customs…: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity)

10:4 They deck 3302 8762 it with silver 3701 and with gold 2091; they fasten 2388 8762 it with nails 4548 and with hammers 4717, that it move 6328 8686 not.

10:5 They [are] upright 4749 as the palm tree 8560, but speak 1696 8762 not: they must needs 5375 8800 be borne 5375 8735, because they cannot go 6805 8799. Be not afraid 3372 8799 of them; for they cannot do evil 7489 8686, neither also [is it] in them to do good 3190 8687.

10:6 Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD 3068; thou [art] great 1419, and thy name 8034 [is] great 1419 in might 1369.

10:7 Who would not fear 3372 8799 thee, O King 4428 of nations 1471? for to thee doth it appertain 2969 8804: forasmuch as among all the wise 2450 [men] of the nations 1471, and in all their kingdoms 4438, [there is] none like unto thee.(to…: or, it liketh thee)

10:8 But they are altogether 259 brutish 1197 8799 and foolish 3688 8799: the stock 6086 [is] a doctrine 4148 of vanities 1892.(altogether: Heb. in one, or, at once)

10:9 Silver 3701 spread into plates 7554 8794 is brought 935 8714 from Tarshish 8659, and gold 2091 from Uphaz 210, the work 4639 of the workman 2796, and of the hands 3027 of the founder 6884 8802: blue 8504 and purple 713 [is] their clothing 3830: they [are] all the work 4639 of cunning 2450 [men].

10:10 But the LORD 3068 [is] the true 571 God 430, he [is] the living 2416 God 430, and an everlasting 5769 king 4428: at his wrath 7110 the earth 776 shall tremble 7493 8799, and the nations 1471 shall not be able to abide 3557 8686 his indignation 2195.(true…: Heb. God of truth)(everlasting…: Heb. king of eternity)

10:11 Thus 1836 shall ye say 560 8748 unto them, The gods 426 that have not 3809 made 5648 8754 the heavens 8065 and the earth 778, [even] they shall perish 7 8748 from the earth 772, and from under 8460 these 429 heavens 8065.

10:12 He hath made 6213 8802 the earth 776 by his power 3581, he hath established 3559 8688 the world 8398 by his wisdom 2451, and hath stretched out 5186 8804 the heavens 8064 by his discretion 8394.

10:13 When he uttereth 5414 8800 his voice 6963, [there is] a multitude 1995 of waters 4325 in the heavens 8064, and he causeth the vapours 5387 to ascend 5927 8686 from the ends 7097 of the earth 776; he maketh 6213 8804 lightnings 1300 with rain 4306, and bringeth forth 3318 8686 the wind 7307 out of his treasures 214.(multitude: or, noise)(with: or, for)

10:14 Every man 120 is brutish 1197 8738 in [his] knowledge 1847: every founder 6884 8802 is confounded 3001 8689 by the graven image 6459: for his molten image 5262 [is] falsehood 8267, and [there is] no breath 7307 in them.(brutish in his knowledge: or, more brutish than to know)

10:15 They [are] vanity 1892, [and] the work 4639 of errors 8595: in the time 6256 of their visitation 6486 they shall perish 6 8799.

10:16 The portion 2506 of Jacob 3290 [is] not like them: for he [is] the former 3335 8802 of all [things]; and Israel 3478 [is] the rod 7626 of his inheritance 5159: The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] his name 8034.

10:17 Gather up 622 8798 thy wares 3666 out of the land 776, O inhabitant 3427 8802 of the fortress 4692.(inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress)

10:18 For thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Behold, I will sling 7049 8802 out the inhabitants 3427 8802 of the land 776 at this once 6471, and will distress 6887 8689 them, that they may find 4672 8799 [it so].

10:19 Woe 188 is me for my hurt 7667! my wound 4347 is grievous 2470 8737: but I said 559 8804, Truly 389 this [is] a grief 2483, and I must bear 5375 8799 it.

10:20 My tabernacle 168 is spoiled 7703 8795, and all my cords 4340 are broken 5423 8738: my children 1121 are gone forth 3318 8804 of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth 5186 8802 my tent 168 any more, and to set up 6965 8688 my curtains 3407.

10:21 For the pastors 7462 8802 are become brutish 1197 8738, and have not sought 1875 8804 the LORD 3068: therefore they shall not prosper 7919 8689, and all their flocks 4830 shall be scattered 6327 8738.

10:22 Behold, the noise 6963 of the bruit 8052 is come 935 8802, and a great 1419 commotion 7494 out of the north 6828 country 776, to make 7760 8800 the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 desolate 8077, [and] a den 4583 of dragons 8577.

10:23 O LORD 3068, I know 3045 8804 that the way 1870 of man 120 [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man 376 that walketh 1980 8802 to direct 3559 8687 his steps 6806.

10:24 O LORD 3068, correct 3256 8761 me, but with judgment 4941; not in thine anger 639, lest thou bring me to nothing 4591 8686.(bring…: Heb. diminish me)

10:25 Pour out 8210 8798 thy fury 2534 upon the heathen 1471 that know 3045 8804 thee not, and upon the families 4940 that call 7121 8804 not on thy name 8034: for they have eaten up 398 8804 Jacob 3290, and devoured 398 8804 him, and consumed 3615 8762 him, and have made his habitation 5116 desolate 8074 8689.
