As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD {shall be} a light unto me.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah {is} like unto all the heathen;

All that pass by clap {their} hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, {saying, Is} this the city that {men} call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? {by: Heb. by the way}

I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified {themselves} against their border.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. {spoken...: Heb. magnified thy mouth}

This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified {themselves} against the people of the LORD of hosts.

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken {that was} the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, {now} she is laid waste:

To make their land desolate, {and} a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, {even} all of it: and they shall know that I {am} the LORD.

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

I also could speak as ye {do}: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that {are} round about; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified {themselves} against their border.

They have heard that I sigh: {there is} none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done {it}: thou wilt bring the day {that} thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}

I was a derision to all my people; {and} their song all the day.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped {thine} hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, {and} with the contempt of the proud.

As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
