“And by your sword ^H2719 you shall live ^H2421,

And you shall serve ^H5647 your brother ^H251;

But it shall come ^H1961 about ^H1961 when ^H834 you become ^H7300 restless ^H7300,

That you will [fn]break ^H6561 his yoke ^H5923 from your neck ^H6677.”

‘You shall do ^H6213 no ^H3808 wrong ^H5766 in judgment ^H4941, in measurement ^H4060 of weight ^H4948, or volume ^H4884.

“Oh ^H3863 if ^H3863 only ^H3863 my grief ^H3708 were actually ^H8254 weighed ^H8254

And laid ^H5375 in the balances ^H3976 together ^H3162 with my disaster ^H1942!

Let Him weigh ^H8254 me with [fn]accurate ^H6664 scales ^H3976,

And let God ^H433 know ^H3045 my integrity ^H8538.

“Can you tie ^H7194 down ^H7194 the wild ^H7214 bull ^H7214 in a furrow ^H8525 with [fn]ropes ^H5688,

Or ^H518 will he [fn]plow ^H7702 the valleys ^H6010 after ^H310 you?

“Let’s tear ^H5423 their shackles ^H4147 apart ^H5423

And throw ^H7993 their ropes ^H5688 away ^H7993 from us!”

People ^H1121 H120 of low ^H1121 H120 standing ^H1121 H120 are only ^H389 breath ^H1892, and people ^H1121 H376 of rank ^H376 are a lie ^H3577;

In the balances ^H3976 they go ^H5927 up ^H5927.

Together ^H3162 they are lighter than ^H4480 breath ^H1892.

A false ^H4820 balance ^H3976 is an abomination ^H8441 to the LORD ^H3068,

But a just ^H8003 weight ^H68 is His delight ^H7522.

A just ^H4941 balance ^H6425 and scales ^H3976 belong to the LORD ^H3068;

All ^H3605 the [fn]weights ^H68 of the bag ^H3599 are His [fn]concern ^H4639.

[fn]Differing ^H68 weights ^H68 are an abomination ^H8441 to the LORD ^H3068,

And a [fn]false ^H4820 scale ^H3976 is not good ^H2896.

Woe ^H1945 to those who drag ^H4900 wrongdoing ^H5771 with the cords ^H2256 of [fn]deceit ^H7723,

And sin ^H2403 as if with cart ^H5699 ropes ^H5688;

For You will break ^H2865 the yoke ^H5923 of their burden ^H5448 and the staff ^H4294 on their shoulders ^H7926,

The rod ^H7626 of their oppressor ^H5065, as [fn]at the battle ^H3117 of Midian ^H4080.

“The LORD ^H3068 has broken ^H7665 the staff ^H4294 of the wicked ^H7563,

The scepter ^H7626 of rulers ^H4910,

“Do not rejoice ^H8055, Philistia ^H6429, all ^H3605 of you,

Because ^H3588 the rod ^H7626 that struck ^H5221 you is broken ^H7665;

For from the serpent’s ^H5175 root ^H8328 a viper ^H6848 will come ^H3318 out ^H3318,

And its fruit ^H6529 will be a winged ^H5774 serpent ^H8314.

Who ^H4310 has measured ^H4058 the [fn]waters ^H4325 in the hollow ^H8168 of ^H8168 His hand ^H8168,

And measured ^H8505 the heavens ^H8064 with a [fn]span ^H2239,

And [fn]calculated ^H3557 the dust ^H6083 of the earth ^H776 with a measure ^H7991,

And weighed ^H8254 the mountains ^H2022 in a balance ^H6425

And the hills ^H1389 in a pair of scales ^H3976?

Behold ^H2005, the nations ^H1471 are like a drop ^H4752 from a bucket ^H1805,

And are regarded ^H2803 as a speck ^H7834 of ^H7834 dust ^H7834 on the scales ^H3976;

Behold ^H2005, He lifts ^H5190 up the [fn]islands ^H339 like fine ^H1851 dust ^H1851.

“Those who lavish ^H2107 gold ^H2091 from the bag ^H3599

And weigh ^H8254 silver ^H3701 on the scale ^H7070,

Hire ^H7936 a goldsmith ^H6884, and he makes ^H6213 it into a god ^H410;

They bow ^H5456 down ^H5456, indeed ^H637 they worship ^H2331 it.

“I was ^H7107 angry ^H7107 with My people ^H5971,

I profaned ^H2490 My heritage ^H5159

And handed ^H5414 H3027 them over ^H5414 to you.

You did not show ^H7760 mercy ^H7356 to them,

On the aged ^H2205 you made ^H3513 your yoke ^H5923 very ^H3966 heavy ^H3513.

“For long ^H5769 ago ^H5769 [fn]I broke ^H7665 your yoke ^H5923

And tore ^H5423 off ^H5423 your restraints ^H4147;

But you said ^H559, ‘I will not serve ^H5647!’

For on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H1389

And under ^H8478 every ^H3605 leafy ^H7488 tree ^H6086

You have lain ^H6808 down ^H6808 as a prostitute ^H2181.

“I will go ^H1980 to the great ^H1419

And speak ^H1696 to them,

For they know ^H3045 the way ^H1870 of the LORD ^H3068

And the judgment ^H4941 of their God ^H430.”

But together ^H3162 they too have broken ^H7665 the yoke ^H5923

And burst ^H5423 the restraints ^H4147.

‘And it will be that the nation ^H1471 or the kingdom ^H4467 which ^H834 will not serve ^H5647 him, Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894, and will not put ^H5414 its neck ^H6677 under the yoke ^H5923 of the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894, I will punish ^H6485 that nation ^H1471 with the sword ^H2719, with famine ^H7458, and with plague ^H1698,’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, ‘until ^H5704 I have eliminated ^H8552 [fn]it by his hand ^H3027.

‘It shall come ^H1961 about ^H1961 on that day ^H3117,’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, ‘that I will break ^H7665 his yoke ^H5923 from [fn]their necks ^H6677 and will tear ^H5423 to ^H5423 pieces ^H5423 [fn]their restraints ^H4147; and strangers ^H2114 will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 make ^H5647 [fn]them their slaves ^H5647.

It is good ^H2896 for a man ^H1397 to bear ^H5375

The yoke ^H5923 in his youth ^H5271.

“As for you, son ^H1121 of man ^H120, take ^H3947 a sharp ^H2299 sword ^H2719; take ^H3947 and [fn]use ^H5674 it as a barber’s ^H1532 razor ^H8593 on your head ^H7218 and beard ^H2206. Then take ^H3947 scales ^H3976 for weighing ^H4948 and divide ^H2505 [fn]the hair.

“You shall have ^H1961 accurate ^H6664 balances ^H3976, an accurate ^H6664 [fn]ephah ^H374, and an accurate ^H6664 [fn]bath ^H1324.

“And through ^H5921 his shrewdness ^H7922

He will make ^H6743 deceit ^H4820 a ^H6743 success ^H6743 by his [fn]influence ^H3027;

And he will make ^H1431 himself great ^H1431 in his [fn]own mind ^H3824,

And he will [fn]destroy ^H7843 many ^H7227 while they are [fn]at ease ^H7962.

He will even [fn]oppose ^H5975 H5921 the Prince ^H8269 of princes ^H8269,

But he will be broken ^H7665 without ^H657 [fn]human ^H3027 agency ^H3027.

A [fn]merchant ^H3669, in whose hands ^H3027 are fraudulent ^H4820 balances ^H3976,

Loves ^H157 to exploit ^H6231.

“When ^H4970 will the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320 [fn]be ^H5674 over ^H5674,

So that we may sell ^H7666 grain ^H7668;

And the Sabbath ^H7676, so that we may open ^H6605 the wheat ^H1250 market,

To make ^H6994 the [fn]ephah ^H374 smaller ^H6994 and the [fn]shekel ^H8255 bigger ^H1431,

And to cheat ^H5791 with dishonest ^H4820 scales ^H3976,

“Can I justify ^H2135 dishonest ^H7562 balances ^H3976,

And a bag ^H3599 of fraudulent ^H4820 weights ^H68?

“For then ^H227 I will [fn]restore ^H2015 to the peoples ^H5971 pure ^H1305 lips ^H8193,

So that all ^H3605 of them may call ^H7121 on the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068,

To serve ^H5647 Him [fn]shoulder ^H7926 to shoulder ^H7926.
