2 at guard _post _of_my I _will _stand and_station on [the]_fortification and_keep _watch to_see what will _he _speak in/on/at/with_me and_what will _I _bring _back on complaint _of_my.
2 And_answered_me YHWH and_he/it _said write _down [the]_vision and_make _plain on the_tablets so _that he _may _run [one _who]_reads in_him/it.
3 If/because still [the]_vision for _the_appointed _time and_speaks of _the_end and_not it _will _lie if it _will _delay wait to_him/it if/because surely _(come) it _will _come not it _will _delay.
4 There it _is _swollen not it _is _upright spirit _of_his in/on/over_him/it and_righteous in/on/at/with_faith _of_his he _will _live.
5 And_furthermore if/because the_wine [is]_acting _treacherously a _man proud and_not he _stays _at _home who he _has _made _large like_sheol appetite _of_his and_he like _the_death and_not he _is _satisfied and_gathers to_him/it all _of the_nations and_collects to_him/it all _of the_peoples.
6 Am_not these _[nations] all _of_them on/upon/above_him/it a _saying will _they _lift _up and_ridicule riddles to_him/it and_say woe _to the_heaps _up [that _which]_not to_him/it until when and_loads on/upon/above_him/it pledge[s].
7 Am_not suddenness will _they _arise creditors _of_your and_wake _up tremble _of_you and_become as_plunder for_them.
8 If/because[fn] you you _have _plundered nations many plunder_you all _of [the]_rest _of [the]_peoples because _of_bloodshed _of humankind and_violence _of [the]_land [the]_town and_all [those _who]_dwell _of in/on/at/with_them.
9 woe _to [one _who]_gains unjust _gain evil for_house _of_his to_set in/on/at/with_high nest _of_his to_escape from_hand _of evil.

13 Am_not there from_with YHWH hosts and_labour peoples in/on/at/with_mere _of fire and_nations in/on/at/with_mere _of emptiness they _grow _weary.
14 If/because it _will _be _filled the_earth/land to_know DOM the _glory _of YHWH as _the_waters [which]_they _cover over [the]_sea.
15 woe _to [one _who]_makes _drink _of his/its_neighbour [one _who]_mixes severe _anger _of_your and_even you _make _[them]_drunk so _as to _look on nakedness _of_their.
16 You _are _satisfied shame instead _of_glory drink also you and_expose _uncircumcision it _will _come _round to_you the _cup _of the _right _hand _of YHWH and_disgrace [will _be]_over glory _of_your.
17 If/because the _violence _of Ləⱱānōn overwhelm_you and_destruction _of animals terrify_them because _of_bloodshed _of humankind and_violence _of [the]_land [the]_town and_all [those _who]_dwell _of in/on/at/with_them.
18 what a _carved _image does _it _profit if/because carved_it maker _of_its a _molten _image and_teacher falsehood if/because he _relies creation _of_his _own [the _one _who]_formed on/upon/above_him/it for_ idols _doing dumb.
