1 WO unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 To turn away the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is their indignation.

6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but in his heart it is to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

8 For he saith: Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 As my hand hath founded the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and to her idols?

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

13 For he saith: By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom I have done these things; for I am prudent; and I have moved the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man;

14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people; and as one gathereth eggs that are left have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, send among his fat ones, leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame, and shall burn and shall devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them, but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant shall return, yea, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return; the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 For the Lord God of Hosts shall make a consumption, even determined in all the land.

24 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of Hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

26 And the Lord of Hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and as his rod was upon the sea so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages.

29 They are gone over the passage; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramath is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

30 Lift up the voice, O daughter of Gallim; cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day; he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts shall lop the bough with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down; and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

1 Então Deus falou todas estas palavras:

2 — Eu sou o Senhor, seu Deus, que o tirei da terra do Egito, da casa da servidão.

3 — Não tenha outros deuses diante de mim.

4 — Não faça para você imagem de escultura, nem semelhança alguma do que há em cima no céu, nem embaixo na terra, nem nas águas debaixo da terra. 5 Não adore essas coisas, nem preste culto a elas, porque eu, o Senhor, seu Deus, sou Deus zeloso, que visito a iniquidade dos pais nos filhos até a terceira e quarta geração daqueles que me odeiam, 6 mas faço misericórdia até mil gerações daqueles que me amam e guardam os meus mandamentos.

7 — Não tome o nome do Senhor, seu Deus, em vão, porque o Senhor não terá por inocente o que tomar o seu nome em vão.

8 — Lembre-se do dia de sábado, para o santificar. 9 Seis dias você trabalhará e fará toda a sua obra, 10 mas o sétimo dia é o sábado dedicado ao Senhor, seu Deus. Não faça nenhum trabalho nesse dia, nem você, nem o seu filho, nem a sua filha, nem o seu servo, nem a sua serva, nem o seu animal, nem o estrangeiro das suas portas para dentro. 11 Porque em seis dias o Senhor fez os céus e a terra, o mar e tudo o que neles há e, ao sétimo dia, descansou; por isso o Senhor abençoou o dia de sábado e o santificou.

12 — Honre o seu pai e a sua mãe, para que você tenha uma longa vida na terra que o Senhor, seu Deus, lhe dá.

13 — Não mate.

14 — Não cometa adultério.

15 — Não furte.

16 — Não dê falso testemunho contra o seu próximo.

17 — Não cobice a casa do seu próximo. Não cobice a mulher do seu próximo, nem o seu servo, nem a sua serva, nem o seu boi, nem o seu jumento, nem coisa alguma que pertença ao seu próximo.

18 Todo o povo presenciou os trovões, os relâmpagos, o som da trombeta e o monte fumegante; e o povo, observando, tremeu de medo e ficou de longe. 19 Disseram a Moisés:

— Fale-nos você, e ouviremos; porém não fale Deus conosco, para que não morramos.

20 Moisés respondeu ao povo:

— Não tenham medo; Deus veio para provar vocês e para que o seu temor esteja diante de vocês, a fim de que não pequem.

21 O povo estava de longe, em pé; Moisés, porém, se aproximou da nuvem escura onde Deus estava.

22 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés:

— Assim você dirá aos filhos de Israel: "Vocês viram que dos céus eu lhes falei. 23 Não façam deuses de prata ao lado de mim, nem façam para vocês deuses de ouro. 24 Façam um altar de terra para mim e sobre ele vocês sacrificarão os seus holocaustos, as suas ofertas pacíficas, as suas ovelhas e os seus bois; em todo lugar onde eu fizer celebrar a memória do meu nome, virei até vocês e os abençoarei. 25 Se vocês fizerem um altar de pedras para mim, não o façam de pedras lavradas; pois, se fizerem uso de ferramentas, vocês terão profanado o altar. 26 Nem subam ao meu altar por degraus, para que ali não seja exposta a sua nudez."
