CHAP. X.
1 The vnequall comparison of God and idoles. 17 The Prophet exhorteth to flie from the calamitie to come. 19 Hee lamenteth the spoyle of the Tabernacle by foolish pastours. 23 He maketh an humble supplication.
1 Heare ye the word which the Lord speaketh vnto you, O house of Israel.
3 For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forrest (the worke of the handes of the workeman) with the axe.3
5 They are vpright as the palme tree, but speake not: they must needes bee borne, because they cannot goe: be not afraid of them, for they cannot doe euil, neither also is it in them to doe good.5
6 Forasmuch as there is none like vnto thee, O Lord, thou art great, and thy Name is great in might.6
7 Who would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee doeth it appertaine: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdomes, there is none like vnto thee.7
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stocke is a doctrine of vanities.8
10 But the Lord is the true God, he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his wrath the earth shal tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.10
12 Hee hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauens by his discretion.12
13 When he vttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heauens, and hee causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: hee maketh lightnings with raine, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.13
14 Euery man is brutish in his knowledge, euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his moulten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.14
15 They are vanity, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 The portion of Iacob is not like them: for he is the fourmer of all things, and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.16
17 ¶ Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortresse.17
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey, to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.22
23 ¶ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himselfe: it is not in man that walketh, to direct his steps.23
24 O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.24
25 Powre out thy fury vpon the heathen that know thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iacob, and deuoured him, and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.25
