24:009:020 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear
receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters
wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
24:009:021 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our
palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young
men from the streets.
24:009:022 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall
fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the
harvestman, and none shall gather them.
24:009:023 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the
rich man glory in his riches:
24:009:024 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth
and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise
lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for
in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
24:009:025 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all
them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
24:009:026 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and
Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in
the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and
all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
24:010:001 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of
Israel:
24:010:002 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be
not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are
dismayed at them.
24:010:003 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree
out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with
the axe.
24:010:004 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with
nails and with hammers, that it move not.
24:010:005 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must
needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them;
for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do
good.
24:010:006 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art
great, and thy name is great in might.
24:010:007 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth
it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the
nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto
thee.
24:010:008 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a
doctrine of vanities.
24:010:009 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold
from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the
founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the
work of cunning men.
