2:1
super custodiam meam stabo et figam gradum super munitionemet contemplabor ut videam quid dicatur mihi et quid respondeamad arguentem me

2:2
et respondit mihi Dominus et dixit scribe visum et explanaeum super tabulas ut percurrat qui legerit eum

2:3
quia adhuc visus procul et apparebit in finem et nonmentietur si moram fecerit expecta illum quia veniens veniet etnon tardabit

2:4
ecce qui incredulus est non erit recta anima eius in semetipso iustus autem in fide sua vivet

2:5
et quomodo vinum potantem decipit sic erit vir superbus etnon decorabitur qui dilatavit quasi infernus animam suam etipse quasi mors et non adimpletur et congregabit ad se omnesgentes et coacervabit ad se omnes populos

2:6
numquid non omnes isti super eum parabolam sument etloquellam enigmatum eius et dicetur vae ei qui multiplicat nonsua usquequo et adgravat contra se densum lutum

2:7
numquid non repente consurgent qui mordeant te etsuscitabuntur lacerantes te et eris in rapinam eis

2:8
quia tu spoliasti gentes multas spoliabunt te omnes quireliqui fuerint de populis propter sanguinem hominis etiniquitatem terrae civitatis et omnium habitantium in ea

2:9
vae qui congregat avaritiam malam domui suae ut sit inexcelso nidus eius et liberari se putat de manu mali

2:10
cogitasti confusionem domui tuae concidisti populos multoset peccavit anima tua

2:11
quia lapis de pariete clamabit et lignum quod interiuncturas aedificiorum est respondebit

2:12
vae qui aedificat civitatem in sanguinibus et praeparaturbem in iniquitate

2:13
numquid non haec a Domino sunt exercituum laborabunt enimpopuli in multo igni et gentes in vacuum et deficient

2:14
quia replebitur terra ut cognoscat gloriam Domini quasiaquae operientes mare

2:15

002:001
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

002:002
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

002:003
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

002:004
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

002:005
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:

002:006
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

002:007
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?

002:008
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

002:009
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

002:010
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

002:011
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

002:012
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

002:013
Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

002:014
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

002:015
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

002:016
Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

002:017
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

002:018
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

002:019
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

002:020
But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
