1BEHOLD speake into the eares of my people the wordes of prophecie, which I shal put into thy mouth, sayth our Lord:stylus2and see that they be written in paper, because they be faithful and true.stylus3Be not afrayd of the cogitations against thee, neither let the incredulities truble thee of them that speake.stylus4Because euerie incredulous person shal dye in his incredulitie.stylus5Behold I bring in, sayth our Lord, vpon the whole earth euils, sword, and famine, and death, and destruction.stylus6Because iniquitie hath fully polluted ouer al the earth, and their hurtful workes are accomplished.stylus7Therefore sayth our Lord:stylus8I wil not now kepe silence of their impieties which they doe irreligiously, neither wil I beare with those thinges, which they practise vniustly. Behold the innocent & iust bloud crieth to me, & the soules of the iust crie continually.stylus9Reuenging I wil reuenge them, sayth our Lord, and I wil take al innocent bloud out of them vnto me.stylus10Behold my people is led to slaughter as a flocke, I wil no more suffer it to dwel in the land of AEgypt.stylus11But I wil bring them forth in a mightie hand and valiant arme, and wil strike with plague as before, and wil corrupt al the land thereof.stylus12AEgypt shal mourne, and fundations thereof beaten with plague, and with the chastisement which God wil bring vpon it.stylus13The husbandmen that til the ground shal mourne, because their seedes shal perish by blasting, and haile, and by a terible starre.stylus14Woe to the world and them that dwel therein.stylus15Because the sword is at hand and the destruction of them, and nation shal rise vp against nation to fight, & sword in their handes.stylus16For there shal be instabilitie to men, & growing one against an other they shal not care for their king, & the princes of the way of their doinges, in their might.stylus17For a man shal desire to go into the citie & can not.stylus18Because of their prides the cities shal be trubled, the houses raised, the men shal feare.stylus19Man shal not pitie his neighbour, to make their houses nothing worth in the sword, to spoyle their goodes for famine of bread, & much tribulation.stylus20Behold, I cal together sayth God, al the kinges of the earth to feare me, that are from the Orient, & from the South, from the East, & from Libanus, to be turned vpon themselues, and to render the thinges that they haue geuen them.stylus21As they doe vntil this day to myne elect, so wil I doe, and render in their bosome. Thus sayth our Lord God:stylus22My right hand shal not spare sinners, neither shal the sword cease vpon them that shede innocent bloud vpon the earth.stylus23Fire came forth from his wrath, and hath deuoured the fundations of the earth, and sinners as it were straw set on fire.stylus24Woe to them that sinne, and obserue not my comandmentes, sayth our Lord.stylus25I wil not spare them: depart o children from the powre. Defile not my sanctification:stylus26because the Lord knoweth al that sinne against him; therefore hath he deliuered them into death and into slaughter.stylus27For now are euils come vpon the world, and you shal tarrie in them. For God wil not deliuer you, because you haue sinned against him.stylus28Behold an horrible vision, and the face of it from the east.stylus29And the nations of dragons of Arabians shal come forth in manie chariots, & as a winde the number of them is caried vpon the earth, so that now al doe feare and tremble, that shal heare them.stylus30the Carmonians madde for anger, and they shal goe forth as wild boares out of the wood, & they shal come with great power, and shal stand in fight with them, & they shal waste the portion of the land of the Assirians.stylus31And after these thinges the dragons shal preuaile mindful of their natiuitie, and conspiring shal turne themselues in great force to pursue them.stylus32These shal be trubled and hold their peace at their force, and shal turne their fete into flight.stylus33And from the territorie of the Assirians the besiegers shal beseige them, and shal consume one of them, and there shal be feare and trembling in their armie, and contention against their kinges.stylus34Behold cloudes from the east, and from the north vnto the south, and their face very horrible, ful of wrath and storme.stylus35And they shal beate one against an other, and they shal beate downe manie starres, and their starre vpon the earth, and bloud shal be from the sword vnto the bellie.stylus36And mans dung vnto the camels litter, and there shal be much feare, and trembling vpon the earth.stylus37And they shal shake that shal see that wrath, and tremble shal take them: and after these thinges there shal manie showers be moued:stylus38from the south, and the north: and an other portion from the weast.stylus39And the windes from the east shal reuaile vpon it, and shal shut it vp, and the cloudes which he raised in wrath, and the starre to make terrour to the east winde, and the west shal be destroyed.stylus40And there shal be exalted great and mightie cloudes ful of wrath, and a starre to terrifie al the earth, and the inhabitantes therof, and they shal powre in vpon euerie high, and eminent place a terrible starre,stylus41fire, and haile, and flying swordes, and manie waters, so that al fildes also shal be filled, and al riuers with the fulnes of manie waters.stylus42And they shal throw downe cities, and walles, and mountaines, and hilles, and the trees of the woodes, and the grasse of the medowes, and their corne.stylus43And they shal passe constant vnto Babylon, and shal raise her.stylus44They shal come together against her, and shal compasse her, and shal power out the starre, and al wrath vpon her, and the dust and smoke shal goe vp euen into heauen, and round about shal lament her.stylus45And they that shal remaine vnder her, shal serue them that terified her.stylus46And thou Asia agreeing into the hope of Babylon, and the glorie of her person,stylus47woe be to thee thou wretch, because thou art like to her, and hast adorned thy daughters in fornication, to please & glorie in thy louers, which haue desired alwayes to fornicate with thee.stylus48Thou hast imitated the odious in al her workes, and in her inuentions: therefore sayth God:stylus49I wil send in euils vpon thee, widowhood, pouertie, and famine, and sword, and pestilence, to destroy thy houses by violation, and death, and glorie of thy vertue.stylus50As a flower shal be withered, when the heate shal rise that is sent forth vpon thee,stylus51thou shalt be weakned as a litle poore soule plaged and chastised of wemen, that the mightie and the louers may not receiue thee.stylus52Wil I be zealous against thee sayth our Lord,stylus53vnles thou hadst slayne myne elect at al times, exalting the slaughter of the handes, and saying vpon their death, when thou wast drunken.stylus54Adorne the beautie of thy countenance.stylus55The reward of thy fornication is in thy bosome, therefore thou shalt receiue recompence.stylus56As thou shalt doe to my elect, sayth our Lord, so shal God do to thee, and shal deliuer thee vnto euil.stylus57And thy children shal dye for famine: and thou shalt fal by the sword, and thy cities shal be destroyed, & al thyne shal fal in the filde by the sword.stylus58And they that are in the mountaines, shal perish, with famine, and shal eate their owne flesh, & drinke bloud, for the famine of bread and thirst of waters.stylus59Vnhappie by the seas shalt thou come, and againe thou shalt receuie euils.stylus60And in the passage they shal beate against the idle citie, and shal destroy some portion of thy land, and shal deface part of thy glorie, againe returning to Babylon ourethrowen.stylus61And being throwen downe thou shalt be to them for stubble, and they shal be to thee fire:stylus62and deuoure thee, and thy cities, thy land, and thy mountaynes, al thy woodes and fruitful trees they wil burne with fire.stylus63Thy children they shal lead captiue, & shal haue thy goodes for a praye, and the glorie of thy face they shal destroy.stylus
