1Woe to them [that are] at ease in Tziyon [parched place], and trust in the mountain of Shomron [watch mountain], [which are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] came!

2Pass you^2f unto Kalneh [fortress of Anu], and see; and from there go you^2f to Hamat [Fortress] the great: then go down to Gat [Winepress] of the P’lishtim [Immigrants]: [be they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

3You^2f that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

4That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

5That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of music, like David [beloved];

6That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add].

7Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

8The Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) has sworn by himself, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], I abhor the excellency of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is in it.

9And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. 10And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with youⁱ? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold youⁱ tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 11For, behold, the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commands, and he will strike the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

12Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? for you^2f have turned judgment into gall (something bitter or poisonous), and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

13You^2f which rejoice in a thing of nothing, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

14But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamat [fortress] unto the river of the wilderness.
