Lexicon :: Strong's H1215 - beṣaʿ

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

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

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

They took ^H3947 no ^H3808 plunder ^H1215 in silver ^H3701.

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

Or ^H518 gain ^H1215 if ^H3588 you make ^H8552 your ways ^H1870 blameless ^H8552?

“What ^H4100 gain ^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 faithfulness ^H571?

Incline ^H5186 my heart ^H3820 to Your testimonies ^H5715,

And not to dishonest gain ^H1215.

Such ^H3651 are the ways ^H734 of everyone ^H3605 who makes ^H1214 unjust ^H1215 gain ^H1215;

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

He who profits ^H1214 illicitly ^H1215 troubles ^H5916 his own house ^H1004,

But he who hates ^H8130 bribes ^H4979 will live ^H2421.

A leader ^H5057 who is a great ^H7227 oppressor ^H4642 lacks ^H2638 understanding ^H8394,

But a person who hates ^H8130 unjust ^H1215 gain ^H1215 will prolong ^H748 his days ^H3117.

One who walks ^H1980 righteously ^H6666 and speaks ^H1696 with integrity ^H4339,

One who rejects ^H3988 [fn]unjust ^H1215 H4642 gain ^H1215

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

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

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

And the dogs ^H3611 are [fn]greedy ^H5315 H5794, they [fn]are never ^H3808 satisfied ^H3045 H7654.

And they are shepherds ^H7462 who have ^H3045 no ^H3808 understanding ^H995;

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

Each ^H376 one ^H376 to his unjust ^H1215 gain ^H1215, [fn]without ^H4480 exception ^H7097.

“Because of the wrongful ^H5771 act ^H5771 of his unjust ^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 to the greatest ^H1419 of them,

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

And from the prophet ^H5030 to the priest ^H3548

Everyone ^H3605 deals ^H6213 falsely ^H8267.

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

Their fields ^H7704 to new owners ^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 deceit ^H8267.

“But your eyes ^H5869 and your heart ^H3820

Are intent only ^H3588 H518 upon your own dishonest ^H1215 gain ^H1215,

And on shedding ^H8210 innocent ^H5355 blood ^H1818,

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

You who live ^H7931 by many ^H7227 waters ^H4325,

Abundant ^H7227 in treasures ^H214,

Your end ^H7093 has come ^H935,

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

“Behold ^H2009, then, I strike ^H5221 with My hand ^H3709 your profit ^H1215 which ^H834 you have made ^H6213 and [fn]the bloodshed ^H1818 which ^H834 is among ^H8432 you.

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

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

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

So that you may pulverize ^H1854 many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971,

And dedicate ^H2763 to the LORD ^H3068 their unjust ^H1215 profit ^H1215,

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

“Woe ^H1945 to him who makes ^H1214 evil ^H7451 profit ^H1215 for his household ^H1004,

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

To be saved ^H5337 from the hand ^H3709 of catastrophe ^H7451!
