If ^H3588 Cain ^H7014 is avenged ^H5358 sevenfold ^H7659,

Then Lamech ^H3929 seventy-sevenfold ^H7657.”

“And if ^H3588 a man ^H376 strikes ^H5221 his male ^H5650 or ^H176 female ^H519 slave ^H519 H5650 with a rod ^H7626 and he dies ^H4191 [fn]at his hand ^H3027, he shall surely [fn]be punished ^H5358.

“O nations ^H1471, cause His people ^H5971 to shout ^H7442 for joy ^H7442;

For He will avenge ^H5358 the blood ^H1818 of His slaves ^H5650,

And He will render ^H7725 vengeance ^H5359 on His adversaries ^H6862,

And He will atone ^H3722 for His land ^H127 and His people ^H5971.”

Then Samson ^H8123 called ^H7121 to Yahweh ^H3068 and said ^H559, “O Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, please ^H4994 remember ^H2142 me and please ^H4994 strengthen ^H2388 me just ^H389 this ^H2088 time ^H6471, O God ^H430, that I may at once ^H259 be avenged ^H5358 of the Philistines ^H6430 for my two ^H8147 eyes ^H5869.”

Now the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 were hard-pressed ^H5065 on that day ^H3117. And Saul ^H7586 had put ^H422 the people ^H5971 under ^H422 oath ^H422, saying ^H559, “Cursed ^H779 be the man ^H376 who ^H834 eats ^H398 food ^H3899 [fn]before ^H5704 evening ^H6153 and until ^H5704 I have avenged ^H5358 myself on my enemies ^H340.” So none ^H3808 H3605 of the people ^H5971 tasted ^H2938 food ^H3899.

O Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430, You answered ^H6030 them;

You were a forgiving ^H5375 God ^H410 to them,

And yet an avenger ^H5358 of their evil deeds ^H5949.

“For I will not contend ^H7378 forever ^H5769,

Nor ^H3808 will I always ^H5331 be ^H7107 angry ^H7107;

For the spirit ^H7307 would grow ^H5848 faint ^H5848 before ^H4480 H6440 Me,

And the breath ^H5397 of those whom I have made ^H6213.

“Shall I not punish ^H6485 [fn]these ^H428 people,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And on a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088

Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315?

‘Shall I not punish ^H6485 [fn]these ^H428 people?’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

‘On a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088

Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315?’

“Shall I not punish ^H6485 them for these ^H428 things ^H428?” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“On a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088

Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315?

“I will appoint ^H6485 over ^H5921 them four ^H702 kinds ^H4940 of doom,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068: “the sword ^H2719 to kill ^H2026, the dogs ^H3611 to drag ^H5498 off, and the birds ^H5775 of the sky ^H8064 and the beasts ^H929 of the earth ^H776 to devour ^H398 and bring ^H7843 to ruin ^H7843.

‘Then it will be when seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141 are fulfilled ^H4390, that I will punish ^H6485 the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 and that nation ^H1471,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, ‘for their iniquity ^H5771, even the land ^H776 of the Chaldeans ^H3778; and I will make ^H7760 it an everlasting ^H5769 desolation ^H8077.

Indeed, that day ^H3117 belongs to Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

A day ^H3117 of vengeance ^H5360, so as to avenge ^H5358 Himself on His adversaries ^H6862;

And the sword ^H2719 will devour ^H398 and be ^H7646 satiated ^H7646

And [fn]drink ^H7301 its fill ^H7301 of their blood ^H1818;

For there will be a sacrifice ^H2077 to Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635

In the land ^H776 of the north ^H6828 by the river ^H5104 Euphrates ^H6578.

Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478, says ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, I am going to punish ^H6485 Amon ^H528 of Thebes ^H4996, and Pharaoh ^H6547, and Egypt ^H4714 along with her gods ^H430 and her kings ^H4428, even Pharaoh ^H6547 and those who trust ^H982 in him.

“Raise ^H7321 a ^H7321 loud ^H7321 shout ^H7321 against ^H5921 her on every ^H5439 side ^H5439!

She has given ^H5414 [fn]herself ^H3027 up ^H5414, her pillars ^H803 have fallen ^H5307,

Her walls ^H2346 have been pulled ^H2040 down ^H2040.

For this ^H1931 is the vengeance ^H5360 of Yahweh ^H3068:

Take ^H5358 vengeance ^H5358 on her;

As she has done ^H6213 to others, so do ^H6213 to her.

“Against ^H5921 the land ^H776 of [fn]Merathaim ^H4850, go ^H5927 up ^H5927 against ^H5921 it,

And against ^H413 the inhabitants ^H3427 of [fn]Pekod ^H6489.

Put ^H2717 them to ^H2717 the sword ^H2717 and [fn]devote ^H2763 them to destruction ^H2763,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And do ^H6213 according to all ^H3605 that I have commanded ^H6680 you.

Therefore ^H3651 thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Behold ^H2009, I am going to plead ^H7378 your case ^H7379

And exact ^H5358 full ^H5360 vengeance ^H5360 for you;

And I will dry ^H2717 up ^H2717 her [fn]sea ^H3220

And make ^H3001 her fountain ^H4726 dry ^H3001.

“I will punish ^H6485 Bel ^H1078 in Babylon ^H894,

And I will make what ^H1105 he has swallowed ^H1105 come ^H3318 out ^H3318 of his mouth ^H6310;

And the nations ^H1471 will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 stream ^H5102 to him.

Even ^H1571 the wall ^H2346 of Babylon ^H894 has fallen ^H5307 down ^H5307!

“Therefore ^H3651 behold ^H2009, the days ^H3117 are coming ^H935,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“When I will punish ^H6485 her graven ^H6456 images ^H6456,

And the mortally ^H2491 wounded ^H2491 will groan ^H602 throughout ^H3605 her land ^H776.

‘But it was uprooted ^H5428 in wrath ^H2534;

It was cast ^H7993 down ^H7993 to the ground ^H776;

And the east ^H6921 wind ^H7307 dried ^H3001 up ^H3001 its fruit ^H6529.

Its [fn]strong ^H5797 thick ^H4294 branch ^H4294 [fn]was torn ^H6561 off ^H6561

So that [fn]it dried ^H3001 up ^H3001;

The fire ^H784 consumed ^H398 it.

“That it may cause wrath ^H2534 to come ^H5927 up ^H5927 to take ^H5358 vengeance ^H5359,

I have put ^H5414 her blood ^H1818 on the bare ^H6706 rock ^H5553,

That it may not be covered ^H3680.”

‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, “Because ^H3282 Edom ^H123 has acted ^H6213 against the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063 by taking ^H5358 vengeance ^H5359 and has incurred ^H816 grievous ^H816 guilt ^H816 and avenged ^H5358 themselves upon them,”

“So I will visit ^H6485 the days ^H3117 of the Baals ^H1168 upon her

When ^H834 she used to [fn]offer ^H6999 offerings in ^H6999 smoke ^H6999 to them

And adorn ^H5710 herself with her [fn]earrings ^H5141 and jewelry ^H2484

And go ^H1980 after ^H310 her lovers ^H157, so that she forgot ^H7911 Me,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

And it will be like people ^H5971, like priest ^H3548;

So I will punish ^H6485 them for their ways ^H1870

And cause ^H7725 their deeds ^H4611 to return ^H7725 to them.

As for My sacrificial ^H2077 gifts ^H1890,

They sacrifice ^H2076 the flesh ^H1320 and eat ^H398 it,

But Yahweh ^H3068 has not ^H3808 accepted ^H7521 them.

Now ^H6258 He will remember ^H2142 their iniquity ^H5771

And punish ^H6485 them for their sins ^H2403;

They will return ^H7725 to Egypt ^H4714.

They have dug ^H6009 deep ^H6009 [fn]in corruption ^H7843

As in the days ^H3117 of Gibeah ^H1390;

He will remember ^H2142 their iniquity ^H5771;

He will punish ^H6485 their sins ^H2403.

And Yahweh ^H3068 has a contention ^H7379 with Judah ^H3063

And will punish ^H6485 Jacob ^H3290 according to his ways ^H1870;

He will cause ^H7725 everything to return ^H7725 to him according to his deeds ^H4611.
