You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.

你们要怀的是糠秕，要生的是碎秸；你们的气就是吞灭自己的火。

你们怀的是糠秕，生的是碎秸；你们的气息如火吞灭自己。

你们怀的是糠秕，生的是碎秸；你们的气息如火吞灭自己。

你们所谋的像糠秕，所行的如碎秸，毫无价值。你们的气息会像火一样烧灭你们自己。

你们所怀的是糠秕，所生的是碎秸；我的气息必像火一般吞灭你们。

你们所怀的是干草，所生的是麦秸；你们的鼻息是吞噬自己的火。

你們要懷的是糠粃，要生的是碎稭；你們的氣就是吞滅自己的火。

你們懷的是糠粃，生的是碎稭；你們的氣息如火吞滅自己。

你們所謀的像糠秕，所行的如碎稭，毫無價值。你們的氣息會像火一樣燒滅你們自己。

你們孕懷着乾草，產生了碎稭；你們的氣就是火、是那吞滅你們自己的。

你們所懷的是乾草，所生的是麥稭；你們的鼻息是吞噬自己的火。

爾將孕秕穅、產草芥、爾氣乃火、焚燬己身、

敵之氣燄、如火之烈、災及其身、譬彼懷妊、所孕者秕糠、所產者草芥、

爾如懷孕、所孕者秕糠、所產者草芥、爾氣如火、將爾焚燬、

You conceive chaff, you give birth to straw; your breath is a fire that consumes you.

Assyria, your plans and actions are like straw. Your anger is a fire that will destroy you.

You Assyrians produce nothing but dry grass and stubble. Your own breath will turn to fire and consume you.

You will conceive chaff; you will give birth to stubble. Your breath is fire that will consume you.

You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble; My breath will consume you like a fire.

You shall conceive chaff, You shall bring forth stubble; Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.

You will conceive chaff; you will give birth to stubble. Your breath is fire that will consume you.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath,[ as] fire, shall devour you.

You conceive straw, you give birth to chaff; your breath is a fire that destroys you.

You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.

No one enters suit justly; no one goes to law honestly; they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies, they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.

Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies.

Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

“‘ Whom have you mocked and reviled? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes to the heights? Against the Holy One of Israel!By your servants you have mocked the Lord, and you have said, With my many chariots I have gone up the heights of the mountains, to the far recesses of Lebanon, to cut down its tallest cedars, its choicest cypresses, to come to its remotest height, its most fruitful forest.I dug wells and drank waters, to dry up with the sole of my foot all the streams of Egypt.“‘ Have you not heard that I determined it long ago? I planned from days of old what now I bring to pass, that you should make fortified cities crash into heaps of ruins,while their inhabitants, shorn of strength, are dismayed and confounded, and have become like plants of the field and like tender grass, like grass on the housetops, blighted before it is grown.“‘ I know your sitting down and your going out and coming in, and your raging against me.Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.’

Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; give ear, all you far countries; strap on your armor and be shattered; strap on your armor and be shattered.Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us.

And the strong shall become tinder, and his work a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with none to quench them.

“ And the Assyrian shall fall by a sword, not of man; and a sword, not of man, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be put to forced labor.His rock shall pass away in terror, and his officers desert the standard in panic,” declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff. And in an instant, suddenly,you will be visited by the Lord of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her, shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.As when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating, and awakes with his hunger not satisfied, or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking, and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched, so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.

For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. SelahDo to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,who said,“ Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord.Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.

They conceive trouble and give birth to evil, and their womb prepares deceit.”

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and storm and hailstones.The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the Lord, when he strikes with his rod.And every stroke of the appointed staff that the Lord lays on them will be to the sound of tambourines and lyres. Battling with brandished arm, he will fight with them.For a burning place has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.

But he does not so intend, and his heart does not so think; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few;for he says:“ Are not my commanders all kings?Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols, whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her images?”When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.For he says:“ By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I remove the boundaries of peoples, and plunder their treasures; like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.My hand has found like a nest the wealth of the peoples; and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken, so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing or opened the mouth or chirped.”

The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it.Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken into pieces by him.The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.But with an overflowing flood he will make a complete end of the adversaries, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.What do you plot against the Lord? He will make a complete end; trouble will not rise up a second time.For they are like entangled thorns, like drunkards as they drink; they are consumed like stubble fully dried.

While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.”

The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.

we were pregnant, we writhed, but we have given birth to wind. We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
