American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. I will stand[H5975] upon my watch[H4931], and set[H3320] me upon the tower[H4692], and will look[H7200] forth to see[H7200] what he will speak[H1696] with me[H7725], and what I shall answer concerning my complaint[H8433].

2. And Jehovah[H3068] answered[H6030] me[H559], and said, Write[H3789] the vision[H2377], and make it plain[H874] upon tablets[H3871], that he may run[H7323] that readeth it[H7121].

3. For the vision[H2377] is yet for the appointed time[H4150], and it hasteth toward the end[H7093], and shall[H6315] not lie[H3576]: though it tarry[H4102], wait[H2442] for it[H935]; because it will surely come[H935], it will not delay[H309].

4. Behold[H5315], his soul is puffed up[H6075], it is not upright[H3474] in him[H6662]; but the righteous shall live[H2421] by his faith[H530].

5. Yea[H3196], moreover, wine is treacherous[H898], a haughty[H3093] man[H1397], that keepeth not at home[H5115]; who enlargeth[H7337] his desire[H5315] as Sheol[H7585], and he is as death[H4194], and cannot be satisfied[H7646], but gathereth[H622] unto him all nations[H1471], and heapeth[H6908] unto him all peoples[H5971].

6. Shall not all these take up[H5375] a parable[H4912] against him[H4426], and a taunting proverb[H2420] against him[H559], and say, Woe[H1945] to him that increaseth[H7235] that which is not his[H3513]! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges[H5671]!

7. Shall they not rise up[H6965] suddenly[H6621] that shall bite[H5391] thee[H3364], and awake that shall vex[H2111] thee[H4933], and thou shalt be for booty unto them?

8. Because thou hast plundered[H7997] many[H7227] nations[H1471], all the remnant[H3499] of the peoples[H5971] shall plunder[H7997] thee[H120], because of men's blood[H1818], and for the violence[H2555] done to the land[H776], to the city[H7151] and to all that dwell therein[H3427].

9. Woe[H1945] to him that getteth[H1214] an evil[H7451] gain[H1215] for his house[H1004], that he may set[H7760] his nest[H7064] on high[H4791], that he may be delivered[H5337] from the hand[H3709] of evil[H7451]!

10. Thou hast devised[H3289] shame[H1322] to thy house[H1004], by cutting off[H7096] many[H7227] peoples[H5971], and hast sinned[H2398] against thy soul[H5315].

11. For the stone[H68] shall cry out[H2199] of the wall[H7023], and the beam out[H3714] of the timber[H6086] shall answer it[H6030].

12. Woe[H1945] to him that buildeth[H1129] a town[H5892] with blood[H1818], and establisheth[H3559] a city[H7151] by iniquity[H5766]!

13. Behold[H3068], is it not of Jehovah of hosts[H6635] that the peoples[H5971] labor[H3021] for the[H1767] fire[H784], and the nations[H3816] weary[H3286] themselves for[H1767] vanity[H7385]?

14. For the earth[H776] shall be filled[H4390] with the knowledge[H3045] of the glory[H3519] of Jehovah[H3068], as the waters[H4325] cover[H3680] the sea[H3220].

15. Woe[H1945] unto him that giveth his neighbor[H7453] drink[H8248], to thee that addest[H5596] thy venom[H2573], and makest him drunken[H7937] also[H5027], that thou mayest look on their nakedness[H4589]!

16. Thou art filled[H7646] with shame[H7036], and not glory[H3519]: drink[H8354] thou also[H6188], and be as one uncircumcised; the cup[H3563] of Jehovah[H3068]'s right hand[H3225] shall come round[H5437] unto thee[H7022], and foul shame shall be upon thy glory[H3519].

17. For the violence[H2555] done to Lebanon[H3844] shall cover[H3680] thee[H7701], and the destruction of the beasts[H929], which made them afraid[H2865]; because of men[H120]'s blood[H1818], and for the violence[H2555] done to the land[H776], to the city[H7151] and to all that dwell therein[H3427].

18. What profiteth[H3276] the graven image[H6459], that the maker[H3335] thereof hath graven[H6458] it[H4541]; the molten image, even the teacher[H3384] of lies[H8267], that he that fashioneth[H3335] its form[H3336] trusteth[H982] therein[H6213], to make dumb[H483] idols[H457]?

19. Woe[H1945] unto him that saith[H559] to the wood[H6086], Awake[H6974]; to the dumb[H1748] stone[H68], Arise[H5782]! Shall this teach[H3384]? Behold[H8610], it is overlaid with gold[H2091] and silver[H3701], and there is no breath[H7307] at all in the midst of it[H7130].

20. But Jehovah[H3068] is in his holy[H6944] temple[H1964]: let all the earth[H776] keep silence[H2013] before him[H6440].
