CAP. II.
1 Vpon my keepyng Y shal stonde, and
Y shal picche a greese vpon the wardyng;
and Y shal byholde, that Y see what
thing shal be saide to me, and what Y
shal answere to the reprouynge me.
2 And
the Lord answerde to me, and saide,
Write thou the si&yogh;t, and make it pleyn
-- --
vpon tablis, that he renne, that shal
reede it.
3 For &yogh;it the visioun fer, and it
shal apeere in to eende, and shal not
lee&yogh;e; &yogh;it it shal make dwellyng, abijde
thou it, for it cummynge shal cum, and
shal not tarie.
4 Loo! he that is vnbileeful,
the soule of hym shal not be ri&yogh;t
in hym self; forsothe the iust man shal
lyue in his feith.
5 And as wijn disceiueth
a man drinkynge, so shal the proude
man be, and shal not be maad faire; for
as helle he alargide his soule, and he as
deth, and he shal not be fulfillid; and he
shal gedre to hym alle folkis, and he shal
hepe to gydre to hym alle peplis.
6 Wher
not alle these vpon hym shuln take a
parable, and the spekyng of derk sentencis
of hym? And it shal be saide, Wo
to hym that multiplieth thingus not his
owne; how long, and he aggregith a&yogh;einus
hym thicke clay?
7 Wher not sudeynly
thei shuln ryse to gydre, that shuln bite
thee? And thei shuln be reisid to-terynge
thee, and thou shalt be in to raueyne to
hem; and thin aspiers in yuel shuln
wake.
8 For thou robbidist many folkis,
alle shuln robbe thee, whiche shuln be
relikis of peplis, for blood of man, and
wickidnesse of lond of the citee, and of
men dwellynge in it.
9 Woo to hym that
gadrith euyl coueitise to his hous, that
his nest be in hee&yogh;, and gessith hym for
to be delyuered of the hond of yuel.
10 Thou thou&yogh;tist confusioun to thin hous;
thou hast slayn many peplis, and thi
soule synnede.
11 For a stoon of the wall
shal crie, and a tree that is bitwixe
ioyntours of beeldingis shal answere.
12 Woo to hym that beeldith a citee in
blodis, and makith redy a cytee in wickidnesse.
13 Wher not these thingis ben of
the Lord of oostis? Forsothe peplis shuln
traueile in myche fijr, and folkis in veyn,
and thei shuln faile.
14 For the erthe shal
be fulfillid, that thei knowe the glorie of
-- --
the Lord, as waters hillynge the se.
15 Woo
to hym that &yogh;euith drinke to his frend,
sendynge his galle, and makynge drunken,
that he biholde his nakidnesse.
16 He is
fulfillid with yuel fame for glorie; and
drynke thou, and be aslept; the cup of
the ri&yogh;t half of the Lord shal aboute
&yogh;eue thee, and casting vp of yuel fame
vpon thi glorie.
17 For the wickidnesse of
Liban shal keuere thee, and the distruccioun
of beestis shal fere thee, of blodis
of man, and of wickidnesse of lond of
the citee, and of alle dwellynge theryn.
18 What profitith the sculptile, for his
maker grauede it; a wellid thing to gidre,
and a fals ymage, for the maker
therof hopide in the makyng, that he
made dumbe symulacris?
19 Woo to hym
that saith to a tree, Wake thou; Ryse
thou, to a stoon beynge stylle; wher he
shal mowe teche? Loo! this is keuered
in gold and syluer, and eche spirit is not
in his entrailis.
20 Forsothe the Lord in
his holy temple, al erthe be stille fro his
face.
