And it will be a flower withering [the] beauty of splendor its which [is] on [the] head of a valley of fatness like an early fig before summer which he will see the [one who] sees it while still it [is] in hand his he will swallow it.

9 “Ame ka wòle didim be yeafia nue? Ame ka wòle eƒe gbedeasi la me ɖem na? Ɖevi siwo si woxɔ no le la loo alo vidzĩ siwo woɖe le no nua?
Whom? will he teach knowledge and whom? will he make understand [the] message [those] weaned from milk [ones] removed from breasts.
10 Ele ale; se ɖe se dzi, se ɖe se dzi. Ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi, ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi; afii ʋɛe, afi mɛ hã ʋɛe.”
For command to [the] command command to [the] command line to [the] line line to [the] line a little there a little there.
11 Ɖe sia ɖe nyo, Mawu aƒo nu kple dukɔ sia to nuyi kple aɖe tutɔwo dzi,
For by stammerings of lip and by a tongue another he will speak to the people this.
12 ame si Mawu gblɔ na be, “Teƒe siae nye dzudzɔƒe eya ta na ame siwo ŋu ɖeɖi te la nadzudzɔ,” eye “Teƒe siae nye gbɔɖemeƒe”, gake womeɖo toe o.
Whom - he said to them this [is] the resting place give rest to the weary and this [is] the place of rest and not they were willing to listen.
13 Eya ta Yehowa ƒe nya na woe nye be se ɖe se dzi, se ɖe se dzi. Ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi, ɖoɖo ɖe ɖoɖo dzi, ale be woayi, eye woagbugbɔ ɖe megbe, adze anyi. Mixɔ abi, kamɔ neɖe mi, eye wonelé mi,
And it will be to them [the] word of Yahweh command to [the] command command to [the] command line to [the] line line to [the] line a little there a little there so that they may go and they will stumble backwards and they will be broken and they will be ensnared and they will be captured.

Therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of mockery O rulers of the people this who [are] in Jerusalem.
15 Miegblɔna dadatɔe be, “Míeɖo nubabla me kple ku, eye míeɖo gbe ɖi kple yɔdo. Nenye be dɔvɔ̃ zɔ va yi la, maka asi mía ŋu o, elabena míetsɔ alakpa wɔ míaƒe sitsoƒee, eye míetsɔ beble wɔ míaƒe bebeƒee.” (Sheol h7585)
For you have said we have made a covenant with death and with Sheol we have made an agreement (a scourge *Q(K)*) overflowing if (it will pass by *Q(K)*) not it will come to us for we have made falsehood refuge our and in deception we have hidden ourselves. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ke ale Aƒetɔ Mawu gblɔe nye esi, “Kpɔ ɖa, mele gɔmeɖokpe aɖe ɖom ɖe Zion, kpe si wodo kpɔ. Dzogoedzikpe xɔasi si nye gɔmeɖokpe si maʋã o. Ame si ɖo ŋu ɖe eŋu la mavɔ̃ o.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I he has laid in Zion a stone a stone of testing a corner of preciousness of a foundation founded the [one who] trusts not he will make haste.
17 Matsɔ afia nyui tsotso awɔ eƒe dzidzekae, eye dzɔdzɔenyenye anye eƒe nudanu, tsikpe akplɔ miaƒe sitsoƒe si nye alakpa la adzoe, eye tsi aɖɔ axɔ miaƒe bebeƒe.
And I will make justice a measuring-line and righteousness a leveling tool and it will sweep away hail [the] refuge of falsehood and [the] shelter waters they will overflow.
18 Woate fli ɖe nu si miebla kple ku la me, eye gbe si mieɖo ɖi kple yɔdo la madze edzi o. Ne dɔvɔ̃ zɔ va yi la, adze mi katã dzi, eye miaɖo baba. (Sheol h7585)

As often as passes by it it will take you for in the morning in the morning it will pass by in the day and in the night and it will be only terror to understand [the] message.
20 Aba la le kpuie akpã, màte ŋu adra ɖe edzi o. Abadzivɔ la mekeke woaxatsa ame ɖokui ɖe eme o.
For it is [too] short the bed for stretching oneself and the blanket it is narrow when wraps oneself up.
21 Yehowa atso abe ale si wòwɔ le Perazim toa dzi ene. Aʋuʋu eɖokui abe ale si wòwɔ le Gibeon Balime la ene be wòawɔ eƒe dɔ wɔnuku la, eye wòawɔ eƒe dɔdeasi si mienya o.

24 Ne agbledela ŋlɔ nu be yeaƒã nu la, ɖe wòganɔa nuŋɔŋlɔ dzia? Ɖe wògadzoboa anyigba, ganɔa edzadzraɖo dzia?
¿ All the day does he plow the plowman to sow does he loosen? and he may harrow? land his.
25 Ne edzra anyigba ɖo vɔ la, ɖe meƒãa sikɔni kple adrike, lu kple ƒo ɖe agbakawo me, eye woƒãa bli ɖe agbleliƒowo dzi oa?

Bread it is crushed for not to perpetuity certainly anyone threshes it and he sets in motion [the] wheel of cart his and horses his not he crushes it.
29 Esiawo katã tso Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gbɔ; ame si ƒe aɖaŋudede wɔ nuku, eye eƒe nya me goglo.
Also this from with Yahweh of hosts it has gone out he has made wonderful counsel he has made great sound wisdom.
