35:001:017 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare
continually to slay the nations?
35:002:001 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and
will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall
answer when I am reproved.
35:002:002 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make
it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
35:002:003 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it
shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
35:002:004 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but
the just shall live by his faith.
35:002:005 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man,
neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and
is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him
all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
35:002:006 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a
taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that
increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that
ladeth himself with thick clay!
35:002:007 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and
awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto
them?
35:002:008 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the
people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the
violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell
therein.
35:002:009 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered
from the power of evil!
35:002:010 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many
people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
35:002:011 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of
the timber shall answer it.
35:002:012 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a
city by iniquity!
35:002:013 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall
labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves
for very vanity?
35:002:014 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory
of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
35:002:015 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy
bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest
look on their nakedness!
35:002:016 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let
thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand
shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on
thy glory.
