Jeremiah 14:11-16:15
English Standard Version
11 The Lord said to me: (A)“Do not pray for the welfare of this people. 12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, (B)and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them (C)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
Lying Prophets
13 Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets (D)say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” 14 And the Lord said to me: “The (E)prophets are prophesying lies in my name. (F)I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, (G)worthless divination, and (H)the deceit of their own minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although (I)I did not send them, and who say, (J)‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: (K)By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, (L)with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
17 “You shall say to them this word:
(M)‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
and let them not cease,
for the virgin (N)daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound,
(O)with a very grievous blow.
18 (P)If I go out into the field,
behold, those pierced by the sword!
(Q)And if I enter the city,
behold, the diseases of famine!
(R)For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land
and have no knowledge.’”
19 (S)Have you utterly rejected Judah?
Does your soul loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
(T)so that there is no healing for us?
(U)We looked for peace, but no good came;
(V)for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
20 (W)We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
and the iniquity of our fathers,
(X)for we have sinned against you.
21 Do not spurn us, (Y)for your name's sake;
do not dishonor your glorious throne;
(Z)remember and do not break your covenant with us.
22 Are there any among (AA)the false gods of the nations (AB)that can bring rain?
Or can the heavens give showers?
Are you not he, O Lord our God?
We set our hope on you,
(AC)for you do all these things.
The Lord Will Not Relent
15 Then the Lord said to me, (AD)“Though (AE)Moses (AF)and Samuel (AG)stood before me, yet my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go! 2 And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:
(AH)“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
those who are for famine, to famine,
and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’
3 (AI)I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the Lord: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and (AJ)the birds of the air (AK)and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4 (AL)And I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what (AM)Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.
5 (AN)“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
(AO)or who will grieve for you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 (AP)You have rejected me, declares the Lord;
(AQ)you keep going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
(AR)I am weary of relenting.
7 (AS)I have winnowed them with (AT)a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
(AU)they did not turn from their ways.
8 I have made their widows more in number
than (AV)the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of young men
a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
fall upon them suddenly.
9 (AW)She who bore seven has grown feeble;
(AX)she has fainted away;
(AY)her sun went down while it was yet day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
before their enemies,
declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah's Complaint
10 (AZ)Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! (BA)I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. 11 The Lord said, “Have I not[a] set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? 12 Can one break iron, iron (BB)from the north, and bronze?
13 (BC)“Your wealth and your treasures I will give as (BD)spoil, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. 14 I will make you serve your enemies (BE)in a land that you do not know, (BF)for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.”
15 (BG)O Lord, you know;
(BH)remember me and visit me,
(BI)(BJ)and take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance take me not away;
(BK)know that (BL)for your sake I bear reproach.
16 Your words were found, (BM)and I ate them,
and (BN)your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
(BO)for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
17 (BP)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
nor did I rejoice;
(BQ)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
for you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unceasing,
(BR)my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me (BS)like a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(BT)“If you return, I will restore you,
and you shall (BU)stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall turn to you,
but you shall not turn to them.
20 (BV)And I will make you to this people
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you,
(BW)but they shall not prevail over you,
(BX)for I am with you
to save you and deliver you,
declares the Lord.
21 (BY)I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
and redeem you from the grasp of (BZ)the ruthless.”
Famine, Sword, and Death
16 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. 3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning the mothers who bore them and the fathers who fathered them in this land: 4 (CA)They shall die of deadly diseases. (CB)They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried. (CC)They shall be as dung on the surface of the ground. (CD)They shall perish by the sword and by famine, (CE)and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.
5 “For thus says the Lord: (CF)Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament or grieve for them, for I have taken away my peace from this people, my steadfast love and mercy, declares the Lord. 6 Both great and small shall die in this land. (CG)They shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them or (CH)cut himself (CI)or make himself bald for them. 7 No one shall (CJ)break bread for the mourner, to comfort him for the dead, nor shall anyone give him the cup of consolation to drink for his father or his mother. 8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink. 9 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (CK)Behold, I will silence in this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 “And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, (CL)‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11 then you shall say to them: (CM)‘Because your fathers have forsaken me, declares the Lord, and (CN)have gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law, 12 and because (CO)you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, (CP)every one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. 13 Therefore (CQ)I will hurl you out of this land into (CR)a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, (CS)and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
The Lord Will Restore Israel
14 (CT)“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, (CU)‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ 15 but (CV)‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel (CW)out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’ For (CX)I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their fathers.

New International Version
11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(A) for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry;(B) though they offer burnt offerings(C) and grain offerings,(D) I will not accept(E) them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword,(F) famine(G) and plague.”(H)
13 But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets(I) keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine.(J) Indeed, I will give you lasting peace(K) in this place.’”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies(L) in my name. I have not sent(M) them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions,(N) divinations,(O) idolatries[a] and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish(P) by sword and famine.(Q) 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury(R) them, their wives, their sons and their daughters.(S) I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.(T)
17 “Speak this word to them:
“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(U)
night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(V) Daughter, my people,
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.(W)
18 If I go into the country,
I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
I see the ravages of famine.(X)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(Y)’”
19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(Z)
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
so that we cannot be healed?(AA)
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(AB)
20 We acknowledge(AC) our wickedness, Lord,
and the guilt of our ancestors;(AD)
we have indeed sinned(AE) against you.
21 For the sake of your name(AF) do not despise us;
do not dishonor your glorious throne.(AG)
Remember your covenant(AH) with us
and do not break it.
22 Do any of the worthless idols(AI) of the nations bring rain?(AJ)
Do the skies themselves send down showers?
No, it is you, Lord our God.
Therefore our hope is in you,
for you are the one who does all this.(AK)
15 Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses(AL) and Samuel(AM) were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people.(AN) Send them away from my presence!(AO) Let them go! 2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘Those destined for death, to death;
those for the sword, to the sword;(AP)
those for starvation, to starvation;(AQ)
those for captivity, to captivity.’(AR)
3 “I will send four kinds of destroyers(AS) against them,” declares the Lord, “the sword(AT) to kill and the dogs(AU) to drag away and the birds(AV) and the wild animals to devour and destroy.(AW) 4 I will make them abhorrent(AX) to all the kingdoms of the earth(AY) because of what Manasseh(AZ) son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
5 “Who will have pity(BA) on you, Jerusalem?
Who will mourn for you?
Who will stop to ask how you are?
6 You have rejected(BB) me,” declares the Lord.
“You keep on backsliding.
So I will reach out(BC) and destroy you;
I am tired of holding back.(BD)
7 I will winnow(BE) them with a winnowing fork
at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(BF) and destruction on my people,(BG)
for they have not changed their ways.(BH)
8 I will make their widows(BI) more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(BJ)
against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
anguish and terror.(BK)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(BL)
and breathe her last.(BM)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced(BN) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(BO)
before their enemies,”(BP)
declares the Lord.
10 Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth,(BQ)
a man with whom the whole land strives and contends!(BR)
I have neither lent(BS) nor borrowed,
yet everyone curses(BT) me.
11 The Lord said,
“Surely I will deliver you(BU) for a good purpose;
surely I will make your enemies plead(BV) with you
in times of disaster and times of distress.
12 “Can a man break iron—
iron from the north(BW)—or bronze?
13 “Your wealth(BX) and your treasures
I will give as plunder,(BY) without charge,(BZ)
because of all your sins
throughout your country.(CA)
14 I will enslave you to your enemies
in[b] a land you do not know,(CB)
for my anger will kindle a fire(CC)
that will burn against you.”
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(CD)
You are long-suffering(CE)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(CF)
16 When your words came, I ate(CG) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(CH)
for I bear your name,(CI)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(CJ) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(CK) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(CL)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(CM)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(CN) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(CO)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(CP) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(CQ) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(CR)
declares the Lord.
21 “I will save(CS) you from the hands of the wicked(CT)
and deliver(CU) you from the grasp of the cruel.”(CV)
Day of Disaster
16 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “You must not marry(CW) and have sons or daughters in this place.” 3 For this is what the Lord says about the sons and daughters born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers:(CX) 4 “They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried(CY) but will be like dung lying on the ground.(CZ) They will perish by sword and famine,(DA) and their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.”(DB)
5 For this is what the Lord says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal; do not go to mourn or show sympathy, because I have withdrawn my blessing, my love and my pity(DC) from this people,” declares the Lord. 6 “Both high and low will die in this land.(DD) They will not be buried or mourned,(DE) and no one will cut(DF) themselves or shave(DG) their head for the dead. 7 No one will offer food(DH) to comfort those who mourn(DI) for the dead—not even for a father or a mother—nor will anyone give them a drink to console(DJ) them.
8 “And do not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down to eat and drink.(DK) 9 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds(DL) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride(DM) and bridegroom in this place.(DN)
10 “When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?’(DO) 11 then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and followed other gods and served and worshiped(DP) them. They forsook me and did not keep my law.(DQ) 12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your ancestors.(DR) See how all of you are following the stubbornness of your evil hearts(DS) instead of obeying me. 13 So I will throw you out of this land(DT) into a land neither you nor your ancestors have known,(DU) and there you will serve other gods(DV) day and night, for I will show you no favor.’(DW)
14 “However, the days are coming,”(DX) declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(DY) 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north(DZ) and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’(EA) For I will restore(EB) them to the land I gave their ancestors.(EC)

English Standard Version
1 Thessalonians 2:10-3:13
English Standard Version
10 You are witnesses, and (A)God also, (B)how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. 11 For you know how, (C)like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and (D)charged (E)you to walk in a manner worthy of God, (F)who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 And (G)we also thank God constantly[a] for this, that when you received (H)the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it (I)not as the word of men[b] but as what it really is, the word of God, (J)which is at work in you believers. 14 For you, brothers, (K)became imitators of (L)the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For (M)you suffered the same things from your own countrymen (N)as they did from the Jews,[c] 15 (O)who killed both the Lord Jesus and (P)the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and (Q)oppose all mankind 16 (R)by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always (S)to fill up the measure of their sins. But (T)wrath has come upon them at last![d]
Paul's Longing to See Them Again
17 But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, (U)in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire (V)to see you face to face, 18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan (W)hindered us. 19 For what is our hope or (X)joy or crown of boasting (Y)before our Lord Jesus at his (Z)coming? Is it not you? 20 For you are our glory and joy.
3 Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing (AA)to be left behind at Athens alone, 2 and we (AB)sent Timothy, (AC)our brother and God's coworker[e] in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith, 3 that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that (AD)we are destined for this. 4 For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, (AE)just as it has come to pass, and just as you know. 5 For this reason, (AF)when I could bear it no longer, (AG)I sent to learn about your faith, (AH)for fear that somehow (AI)the tempter had tempted you and (AJ)our labor would be in vain.
Timothy's Encouraging Report
6 But (AK)now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of (AL)your faith and love and reported (AM)that you always remember us kindly and (AN)long to see us, as we long to see you— 7 for this reason, brothers,[f] in all our distress and affliction (AO)we have been comforted about you through your faith. 8 For now we live, if you (AP)are standing fast in the Lord. 9 For (AQ)what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God, 10 as we pray most earnestly (AR)night and day (AS)that we may see you face to face and (AT)supply what is lacking in your faith?
11 Now may (AU)our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, (AV)direct our way to you, 12 and may the Lord (AW)make you increase and abound in love (AX)for one another and for all, as we do for you, 13 so that he may (AY)establish your hearts blameless in holiness before (AZ)our God and Father, at (BA)the coming of our Lord Jesus (BB)with all his saints.

10 You are witnesses,(A) and so is God,(B) of how holy,(C) righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,(D) 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy(E) of God, who calls(F) you into his kingdom and glory.
13 And we also thank God continually(G) because, when you received the word of God,(H) which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. 14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators(I) of God’s churches in Judea,(J) which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people(K) the same things those churches suffered from the Jews 15 who killed the Lord Jesus(L) and the prophets(M) and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone 16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles(N) so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit.(O) The wrath of God has come upon them at last.[a]
Paul’s Longing to See the Thessalonians
17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought),(P) out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.(Q) 18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan(R) blocked our way.(S) 19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown(T) in which we will glory(U) in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes?(V) Is it not you? 20 Indeed, you are our glory(W) and joy.
3 So when we could stand it no longer,(X) we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens.(Y) 2 We sent Timothy,(Z) who is our brother and co-worker(AA) in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ,(AB) to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, 3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials.(AC) For you know quite well that we are destined for them.(AD) 4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.(AE) 5 For this reason, when I could stand it no longer,(AF) I sent to find out about your faith.(AG) I was afraid that in some way the tempter(AH) had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.(AI)
Timothy’s Encouraging Report
6 But Timothy(AJ) has just now come to us from you(AK) and has brought good news about your faith and love.(AL) He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.(AM) 7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm(AN) in the Lord. 9 How can we thank God enough for you(AO) in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?(AP) 10 Night and day we pray(AQ) most earnestly that we may see you again(AR) and supply what is lacking in your faith.
11 Now may our God and Father(AS) himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other(AT) and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless(AU) and holy in the presence of our God and Father(AV) when our Lord Jesus comes(AW) with all his holy ones.(AX)

Restore Us, O God
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Lilies. A Testimony. Of (B)Asaph, a Psalm.
80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead (C)Joseph like (D)a flock.
You who are (E)enthroned upon the cherubim, (F)shine forth.
2 Before (G)Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
(H)stir up your might
and (I)come to save us!
4 O (L)Lord God of hosts,
(M)how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
5 You have fed them with (N)the bread of tears
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6 (O)You make us an object of contention for our (P)neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 (Q)Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
8 You brought (R)a vine out of Egypt;
you (S)drove out the nations and planted it.
9 You (T)cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 It sent out its branches to (U)the sea
and its shoots to (V)the River.[b]
12 Why then have you (W)broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
13 (X)The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.
14 Turn again, O God of hosts!
(Y)Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
15 the stock that your right hand planted,
and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
16 They have (Z)burned it with fire; they have (AA)cut it down;
may they perish at (AB)the rebuke of your face!
17 But (AC)let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
18 Then we shall not turn back from you;
(AD)give us life, and we will call upon your name!
19 (AE)Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
Let your face shine, that we may be saved!

8 You transplanted a vine(O) from Egypt;
you drove out(P) the nations and planted(Q) it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[c]
its shoots as far as the River.[d](R)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(S)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(T) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(U)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[e] you have raised up for yourself.
16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;(V)
at your rebuke(W) your people perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
the son of man(X) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
revive(Y) us, and we will call on your name.
19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.

More Proverbs of Solomon
25 These also are (A)proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.
2 It is the glory of God to (B)conceal things,
but the glory of kings is to (C)search things out.
3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth,
so the heart of kings is (D)unsearchable.
4 Take away (E)the dross from the silver,
and (F)the smith has material for a vessel;
5 take away (G)the wicked from the presence of the king,
and his (H)throne will be established in righteousness.
