1 The burden of the desert of the sea. Just as the whirlwinds approach from Africa, it approaches from the desert, from a terrible land. 2 A difficult vision has been announced to me: he who is unbelieving, he acts unfaithfully, and he who is a plunderer, he devastates. Ascend, O Elam! Lay siege, O […]

1 The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops? 2 Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle. 3 All your leaders have […]

1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them. 2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled […]

1 Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants. 2 And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with […]

1 In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea. 2 In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them. 3 I am the […]

1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city against which David fought: year has been added to year, the solemnities have unfolded. 2 And I will surround Ariel with siege works, and it will be in sorrow and mourning, and it will be like Ariel to me. 3 And I will surround you like a […]

1 “Woe to the sons of apostasy!” says the Lord. For you would take advice, but not from me. And you would begin to weave, but not by my spirit. Thus do you add sin upon sin! 2 You are walking so as to descend into Egypt, and you have not sought answers from my […]
