Lexicon :: Strong's H5034 - nāḇēl

“You will certainly wear out both yourself and these people who are with you, because the task is too heavy for you. You can’t do it alone.

Then[fn] Jeshurun[fn] became fat and rebelled —

you became fat, bloated, and gorged.

He abandoned the God who made him

and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their fortifications.

But as a mountain collapses and crumbles

and a rock is dislodged from its place,

He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams[fn]

that bears its fruit in its season,

and its leaf does not wither.

Whatever he does prospers.

Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their fortifications.

For they wither quickly like grass

and wilt like tender green plants.

If you have been foolish by exalting yourself

or if you’ve been scheming,

put your hand over your mouth.

For you will become like an oak

whose leaves are withered,

and like a garden without water.

The earth mourns and withers;

the world wastes away and withers;

the exalted people of the earth waste away.

Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards,

and to the fading flower of its beautiful splendor,

which is on the summit above the rich valley.

Woe to those overcome with wine.

The fading flower of his beautiful splendor,

which is on the summit above the rich valley,

will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest.

Whoever sees it will swallow it

while it is still in his hand.

All[fn] the stars in the sky will dissolve.

The sky will roll up like a scroll,

and its stars will all wither

as leaves wither on the vine,

and foliage on the fig tree.

“The grass withers, the flowers fade

when the breath[fn] of the LORD blows on them;[fn]

indeed, the people are grass.

All of us have become like something unclean,

and all our righteous acts are like a polluted[fn] garment;

all of us wither like a leaf,

and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

“I will gather them and bring them to an end.”[fn]

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“There will be no grapes on the vine,

no figs on the fig tree,

and even the leaf will wither.

Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”

For your name’s sake, don’t despise us.

Don’t disdain your glorious throne.

Remember your covenant with us;

do not break it.

“All kinds of trees providing food will grow along both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. Each month they will bear fresh fruit because the water comes from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be used for eating and their leaves for healing.”

Surely a son considers his father a fool,

a daughter opposes her mother,

and a daughter-in-law is against her mother-in-law;

a man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

I will throw filth on you

and treat you with contempt;

I will make a spectacle of you.
