Then Josiah ^H2977 celebrated ^H6213 the Passover ^H6453 to the LORD ^H3068 in Jerusalem ^H3389, and they slaughtered ^H7819 the Passover ^H6453 animals on the fourteenth ^H702 H6240 day of the first ^H7223 month ^H2320.

The exiles ^H1121 H1473 held ^H6213 the Passover ^H6453 on the fourteenth ^H702 H6240 of the first ^H7223 month ^H2320.

Then we journeyed ^H5265 from the river ^H5104 Ahava ^H163 on the twelfth ^H8147 H6240 of the first ^H7223 month ^H2320 to go ^H1980 to Jerusalem ^H3389; and the hand ^H3027 of our God ^H430 was upon us, and He rescued ^H5337 us from the hand ^H3709 of the enemy ^H340 and the ambushes ^H693 by the road ^H1870.

Then my God ^H430 put ^H5414 it into my heart ^H3820 to assemble ^H6908 the nobles ^H2715, the officials ^H5461, and the other people ^H5971 to be enrolled ^H3187 by ^H3187 genealogies ^H3187. Then I found ^H4672 the book ^H5612 of the genealogy ^H3188 of those who came ^H5927 up ^H5927 first ^H7223, [fn]in which I found ^H4672 the following record ^H3789:

In the first ^H7223 month ^H2320, which ^H1931 is the month ^H2320 Nisan ^H5212, in the twelfth ^H8147 H6240 year ^H8141 of King ^H4428 Ahasuerus ^H325, [fn]Pur ^H6332, that is the lot ^H1486, was cast ^H5307 before ^H6440 Haman ^H2001 from day ^H3117 to day ^H3117 and from month ^H2320 to month, [fn]until the twelfth ^H8147 H6240 month ^H2320, that is the month ^H2320 Adar ^H143.

Then the king’s ^H4428 scribes ^H5608 were summoned ^H7121 on the thirteenth ^H7969 H6240 day ^H3117 of the first ^H7223 month ^H2320, and it was written ^H3789 just ^H3605 H834 as Haman ^H2001 commanded ^H6680 to the king’s ^H4428 satraps ^H323, to the governors ^H6346 who ^H834 were over ^H5921 each ^H4082 province ^H4082 and to the officials ^H8269 of each ^H5971 people ^H5971, each ^H4082 province ^H4082 according to its script ^H3791, each ^H5971 people ^H5971 according to its language ^H3956, being written ^H3789 in the name ^H8034 of King ^H4428 Ahasuerus ^H325 and sealed ^H2856 with the king’s ^H4428 signet ^H2885 ring ^H2885.

“Please ^H4994 inquire ^H7592 of past ^H7223 generations ^H1755,

And consider ^H3559 the things ^H2714 searched ^H2714 out ^H2714 by their fathers ^H1.

“Were you the first ^H7223 person ^H120 to be born ^H3205,

Or were you brought ^H2342 forth ^H2342 before ^H6440 the hills ^H1389?

Do not [fn]hold ^H2142 us responsible ^H2142 for [fn]the guilty ^H5771 deeds ^H5771 of our forefathers ^H7223;

Let Your compassion ^H7356 come ^H6923 quickly ^H4118 to ^H6923 meet ^H6923 us,

For we have become ^H1809 very ^H3966 low ^H1809.

Where ^H346 are Your former ^H7223 acts ^H2617 of ^H2617 favor ^H2617, Lord ^H136,

Which You swore ^H7650 to David ^H1732 in Your faithfulness ^H530?

The first ^H7223 [fn]to plead ^H7379 his case ^H7379 seems right ^H6662,

Until [fn]another ^H7453 comes ^H935 and examines ^H2713 him.

An inheritance ^H5159 gained ^H973 in ^H926 a ^H926 hurry ^H926 at the beginning ^H7223

Will not be blessed ^H1288 in the end ^H319.

There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 remembrance ^H2146 of the [fn]earlier ^H7223 things ^H7223,

And of the later ^H314 things ^H314 as ^H1571 well ^H1571, which ^H7945 will occur ^H1961,

There will be no ^H3808 remembrance ^H2146 of them

Among ^H5973 those who ^H7945 will come ^H1961 later ^H314 still.

Do not say ^H559, “Why ^H4100 is it that the former ^H7223 days ^H3117 were better ^H2896 than ^H4480 these ^H428?”

For it is not from wisdom ^H2451 that you ask ^H7592 about ^H5921 this ^H2088.

“Then I will restore ^H7725 your judges ^H8199 as at first ^H7223,

And your counselors ^H3289 as at the beginning ^H8462;

After ^H310 that you will be called ^H7121 the city ^H5892 of righteousness ^H6664,

A faithful ^H539 city ^H7151.”

[fn]But there will be no ^H3808 more gloom ^H4155 for her who ^H834 was in anguish ^H4164. In earlier ^H7223 times ^H6256 He treated ^H7043 the land ^H776 of Zebulun ^H2074 and the land ^H776 of Naphtali ^H5321 with ^H7043 contempt ^H7043, but later ^H314 on He will make ^H3513 it glorious ^H3513, by the way ^H1870 of the sea ^H3220, on the other ^H5676 side ^H5676 of the Jordan ^H3383, Galilee ^H1551 of the [fn]Gentiles ^H1471.

“Who ^H4310 has performed ^H6466 and accomplished ^H6213 it,

Summoning ^H7121 the generations ^H1755 from the beginning ^H7218?

‘I, the LORD ^H3068, am the first ^H7223, and with the last ^H314. I am He.’”

Let them bring ^H5066 them forward ^H5066 and declare ^H5046 to us what ^H834 is going to take ^H7136 place ^H7136;

As for the former ^H7223 events, declare ^H5046 what ^H4100 they were,

So that we may consider ^H7760 H3820 them and know ^H3045 their outcome ^H319.

Or ^H176 announce ^H8085 to us what is coming ^H935;

“Previously ^H7223 I said to Zion ^H6726, ‘Behold ^H2009, here ^H2009 they are.’

And to Jerusalem ^H3389, ‘I will give ^H5414 a messenger ^H1319 of ^H1319 good ^H1319 news ^H1319.’

“Behold ^H2009, the former ^H7223 things ^H7223 have come ^H935 to pass ^H935,

Now I declare ^H5046 new ^H2319 things ^H2319;

Before ^H2962 they sprout ^H6779 I proclaim ^H8085 them to you.”

All ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 have gathered ^H6908 together ^H3162

So that the peoples ^H3816 may be assembled ^H622.

Who ^H4310 among them can declare ^H5046 this ^H2088

And proclaim ^H8085 to us the former ^H7223 things ^H7223?

Let them present ^H5414 their witnesses ^H5707 so that they may be justified ^H6663,

Or let them hear ^H8085 and say ^H559, “It is true ^H571.”

“Do not call ^H2142 to ^H2142 mind ^H2142 the former ^H7223 things ^H7223,

Or consider ^H995 things ^H6931 of the past ^H6931.

“Your first ^H7223 [fn]forefather ^H1 sinned ^H2398,

And your [fn]spokesmen ^H3887 have rebelled ^H6586 against Me.

“This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, He who is the King ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 and his Redeemer ^H1350, the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635:

‘I am the first ^H7223 and I am the last ^H314,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 God ^H430 besides ^H4480 H1107 Me.

“Remember ^H2142 the former ^H7223 things ^H7223 long ^H5769 past ^H5769,

For I am God ^H410, and there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 other ^H5750;

I am God ^H430, and there is no ^H657 one ^H657 like ^H3644 Me,

“I declared ^H5046 the former ^H7223 things ^H7223 long ^H227 ago ^H227,

And they went ^H3318 out ^H3318 of My mouth ^H6310, and I proclaimed ^H8085 them.

Suddenly ^H6597 I acted ^H6213, and they came ^H935 to pass ^H935.

“Listen ^H8085 to Me, Jacob ^H3290, Israel ^H3478 [fn]whom I called ^H7121;

I am He, I am the first ^H7223, I am also ^H637 the last ^H314.

“Certainly ^H3588 the coastlands ^H339 will wait ^H6960 for Me;

And the ships ^H591 of Tarshish ^H8659 will come first ^H7223,

To bring ^H935 your sons ^H1121 from afar ^H7350,

Their silver ^H3701 and their gold ^H2091 with them,

For the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430,

And for the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 because ^H3588 He has glorified ^H6286 you.

Then they will rebuild ^H1129 the ancient ^H5769 ruins ^H2723,

They will raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 the former ^H7223 devastations ^H8074;

And they will repair ^H2318 the ruined ^H2721 cities ^H5892,

The desolations ^H8074 of many ^H1755 generations ^H1755.

Both your own wrongdoings ^H5771 and the wrongdoings ^H5771 of your fathers ^H1 together ^H3162,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068.

“Because ^H834 they have burned ^H6999 incense ^H6999 on the mountains ^H2022

And scorned ^H2778 Me on the hills ^H1389,

Therefore I will measure ^H4058 their former ^H7223 work ^H6468 [fn]into their laps ^H2436.”

“Because ^H834 the one who [fn]is blessed ^H1288 on the earth ^H776

Will [fn]be blessed ^H1288 by the God ^H430 of truth ^H543;

And the one who swears ^H7650 an oath on the earth ^H776

Will swear ^H7650 by the God ^H430 of truth ^H543;

Because ^H3588 the former ^H7223 troubles ^H6869 are forgotten ^H7911,

And because ^H3588 they are hidden ^H5641 from My sight ^H5869!

“But go ^H1980 now ^H4994 to My place ^H4725 which ^H834 was in Shiloh ^H7887, where ^H834 H8033 I made My name ^H8034 dwell ^H7931 at the beginning ^H7223, and see ^H7200 what ^H834 I did ^H6213 to it because ^H4480 H6440 of the wickedness ^H7451 of My people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478.

A glorious ^H3519 throne ^H3678 on high ^H4791 from the beginning ^H7223

Is the place ^H4725 of our sanctuary ^H4720.

“Give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

For the LORD ^H3068 is good ^H2896,

For His mercy ^H2617 is everlasting ^H5769,”

as they bring ^H935 a thanksgiving ^H8426 offering ^H8426 into the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068. For I will restore ^H7725 the fortunes ^H7622 of the land ^H776 as they were at first ^H7223,’ says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068.
