And Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559, “I have surely ^H7200 seen ^H7200 the affliction ^H6040 of My people ^H5971 who ^H834 are in Egypt ^H4714, and I have heard ^H8085 their cry ^H6818 because ^H4480 H6440 of their taskmasters ^H5065, for I know ^H3045 their sufferings ^H4341.

So the taskmasters ^H5065 of the people ^H5971 and their foremen ^H7860 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 and spoke ^H559 to the people ^H5971, saying ^H559, “Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Pharaoh ^H6547, ‘I am not going to give ^H5414 you any straw ^H8401.

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.

“The prisoners ^H615 are ^H7599 at ^H7599 ease ^H7599 together ^H3162;

They do not hear ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the taskmaster ^H5065.

“He laughs ^H7832 at the tumult ^H1995 of the city ^H7151;

The shoutings ^H8663 of the driver ^H5065 he does not hear ^H8085.

And the people ^H5971 will be oppressed ^H5065,

Each ^H376 one ^H376 by another ^H376, and each ^H376 one ^H376 by his neighbor ^H7453;

The youth ^H5288 will overwhelm ^H7292 the elder ^H2205

And the dishonorable ^H7034 against the honorable ^H3513.

O My people ^H5971! Their taskmasters ^H5065 [fn]are infants ^H5953,

And women ^H802 rule ^H4910 over them.

O My people ^H5971! Those who guide ^H833 you lead ^H8582 you astray ^H8582

And swallow ^H1104 up the way ^H1870 of your paths ^H734.

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

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

“How ^H349 the taskmaster ^H5065 has ceased ^H7673,

And how [fn]fury ^H4062 has ceased ^H7673!

He was oppressed ^H5065 and He was afflicted ^H6031,

Yet He did not open ^H6605 His mouth ^H6310;

Like a lamb ^H7716 that is led ^H2986 to slaughter ^H2874,

And like a sheep ^H7353 that is ^H481 silent ^H481 before ^H6440 its shearers ^H1494,

So He did not open ^H6605 His mouth ^H6310.

‘Why ^H4100 have we fasted ^H6684 and You do not see ^H7200?

Why have we afflicted ^H6031 our souls ^H5315 and You do not know ^H3045?’

Behold ^H2005, on the day ^H3117 of your fast ^H6685 you find ^H4672 your desire ^H2656,

And oppress ^H5065 all ^H3605 your workers ^H6092.

“Instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 bronze ^H5178 I will bring ^H935 gold ^H2091,

And instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 iron ^H1270 I will bring ^H935 silver ^H3701,

And instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 wood ^H6086, bronze ^H5178,

And instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 stones ^H68, iron ^H1270.

And I will make ^H7760 peace ^H7965 your overseers ^H6486

And righteousness ^H6666 your taskmasters ^H5065.

“Then in his place ^H3653 one will stand ^H5975 who will have an [fn]oppressor ^H5065 pass ^H5674 through ^H5674 the [fn]Jewel ^H1925 of his kingdom ^H4438; yet within a few ^H259 days ^H3117 he will be broken ^H7665, though not in anger ^H639 nor ^H3808 in battle ^H4421.

But I will camp ^H2583 around My house ^H1004 [fn]because ^H4480 of an army ^H4675,

Because ^H4480 of him who passes ^H5674 by ^H5674 and returns ^H7725;

And no ^H3808 taskmaster ^H5065 will pass ^H5674 over ^H5921 them anymore ^H5750,

For now ^H6258 I have seen ^H7200 with My eyes ^H5869.

“From [fn]them will come ^H3318 the cornerstone ^H6438,

From [fn]them the tent ^H3489 peg ^H3489,

From [fn]them the bow ^H7198 of [fn]battle ^H4421,

From [fn]them every ^H3605 good [fn]taskmaster ^H5065, all of them together ^H3162.
