“The kings ^H4428 came ^H935 and fought ^H3898;

Then ^H227 fought ^H3898 the kings ^H4428 of Canaan ^H3667

At Taanach ^H8590 near ^H5921 the waters ^H4325 of Megiddo ^H4023;

They took ^H3947 no ^H3808 gain ^H1215 of silver ^H3701.

“Is there any pleasure ^H2656 to [fn]the Almighty ^H7706 if ^H3588 you are ^H6663 righteous ^H6663,

Or ^H518 profit ^H1215 if ^H3588 you make ^H8552 your ways ^H1870 perfect ^H8552?

“What ^H4100 profit ^H1215 is there in my blood ^H1818, if I go ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the pit ^H7845?

Will the dust ^H6083 praise ^H3034 You? Will it declare ^H5046 Your truth ^H571?

Cause ^H5186 my heart ^H3820 to incline ^H5186 to Your testimonies ^H5715

And not to dishonest gain ^H1215.

So ^H3651 are the paths ^H734 of everyone ^H3605 who is greedy ^H1214 for gain ^H1214;

It takes ^H3947 away the [fn]life ^H5315 of its possessors ^H1167.

He who is greedy ^H1214 for gain ^H1215 troubles ^H5916 his own house ^H1004,

But he who hates ^H8130 gifts ^H4979 of bribery will live ^H2421.

A leader ^H5057 who lacks ^H2638 discernment ^H8394 abounds ^H7227 in oppressions ^H4642,

But he who hates ^H8130 greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215 will prolong ^H748 his days ^H3117.

He who walks ^H1980 righteously ^H6666 and speaks ^H1696 uprightly ^H4339;

He who rejects ^H3988 greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215 of [fn]oppression ^H4642,

And shakes ^H5287 his hands ^H3709 so ^H4480 that ^H4480 they hold ^H8551 no ^H4480 bribe ^H7810;

He who stops ^H331 his ears ^H241 from hearing ^H8085 about bloodshed ^H1818

And shuts ^H6105 his eyes ^H5869 from looking ^H7200 upon evil ^H7451;

And the dogs ^H3611 have a strong ^H5315 [fn]appetite ^H5794; they do not know ^H3045 satisfaction ^H7654.

And they are shepherds ^H7462 who do not know ^H3045 understanding ^H995;

They have all ^H3605 turned ^H6437 to their own way ^H1870,

Each ^H376 one ^H376 to his greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215, to the last ^H7097 one ^H7097.

“Because of the iniquity ^H5771 of his greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215 I was ^H7107 angry ^H7107 and struck ^H5221 him;

I hid ^H5641 My face and was ^H7107 angry ^H7107,

And he went ^H1980 on turning ^H7726 away ^H7726, in the way ^H1870 of his heart ^H3820.

“For from the least ^H6996 of them even to the greatest ^H1419 of them,

Everyone ^H3605 is greedy ^H1214 for gain ^H1215,

And from the prophet ^H5030 even to the priest ^H3548

Everyone ^H3605 practices ^H6213 lying ^H8267.

“Therefore ^H3651 I will give ^H5414 their wives ^H802 to others ^H312,

Their fields ^H7704 to [fn]new ^H3423 possessors ^H3423,

Because ^H3588 from the least ^H6996 even to the greatest ^H1419

Everyone ^H3605 is greedy ^H1214 for gain ^H1215;

From the prophet ^H5030 even to the priest ^H3548

Everyone ^H3605 practices ^H6213 lying ^H8267.

“But your eyes ^H5869 and your heart ^H3820

Are set on nothing ^H369 except ^H3588 H518 your own greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215

And on shedding ^H8210 innocent ^H5355 blood ^H1818

And on doing ^H6213 oppression ^H6233 and extortion ^H4835.”

O you who dwell ^H7931 by abundant ^H7227 waters ^H4325,

Abundant ^H7227 in treasures ^H214,

Your end ^H7093 has come ^H935,

The [fn]measure ^H520 of your [fn]end ^H1215.

“Now behold ^H2009, I have struck ^H5221 My hand ^H3709 at your greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215 which ^H834 you have acquired ^H6213 and at [fn]the bloodshed ^H1818 which ^H834 is among ^H8432 you.

“Arise ^H6965 and thresh ^H1758, daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726,

For your horn ^H7161 I will make ^H7760 iron ^H1270,

And your hoofs ^H6541 I will make ^H7760 bronze ^H5154,

That you may pulverize ^H1854 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971,

That you may devote ^H2763 to Yahweh ^H3068 their greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215 unto destruction ^H2763

And their wealth ^H2428 to the Lord ^H136 of all ^H3605 the earth ^H776.

“Woe ^H1945 to him who is greedy ^H1214 for evil ^H7451 gain ^H1215 for his house ^H1004

To put ^H7760 his nest ^H7064 on high ^H4791,

To be delivered ^H5337 from the hand ^H3709 of evil ^H7451!
