Back to passage

And the Egyptians helde the children of Israel in bondage without mercie,

And the Lorde saide: I haue surely seene the trouble of my people which are in Egypt, and haue heard their crie from the face of their taske maisters: for I knowe their sorowes,

Thou hast solde thy people for naught: and thou hast taken no money for them.

O Lorde shall the aduersarie do this dishonour continually? shall the enemie blaspheme thy name for euer?

Arise O Lord, mayntayne thine owne cause: remember the dishonour that the foolishe man doth vnto thee dayly.

What hast thou to do here? and whom hast thou here? that thou shouldest here hewe thee out a sepulchree, as it were one that heweth hym out a sepulchree on hye, or that graueth an habitation for hym selfe on an harde rocke?

I knowe thy wayes, thy going foorth, and thy commyng home, yea and thy madnesse agaynst me.

Thy sonnes lye comfortlesse at the head of euery streete like a take venison, and are full of the terrible wrath of the Lorde, and punishment of thy God.

For thus saith the Lorde: ye are solde for naught, therfore shal ye be redeemed also without any money.

They heare my mournyng, but there is none that wyll comfort me: All myne enemies haue hearde of my trouble, and are glad therof because thou hast done it: and thou hast brought foorth the time which thou calledst, when they also shal be lyke vnto me.

They haue taken young men to grinde, and the boyes fainted vnder the burthens of wood.

And I wrought for my names sake, lest it shoulde be defiled before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

At the same time sayth the Lord, there shalbe hearde a great crye from the fishe porte, and an howling from the seconde porte, and a great destruction from the hylles.
