that hither to haue not sought me Then shal I saye immediatly to the people that neuer called vpon my name I am here I am here For thus longe haue I euer holden out my hondes to an vnfaithful people that go not the right waye but after their owne ymaginacions To a people that is euer defyenge me to my face They make their oblacions in gardens and their smoke vpon aulters of bricke they lurck

when I am angrie shal be turned to smoke and fyre that shal burne for euer Beholde it is written before my face shal not be forgotten but recōpensed I shal rewarde it them in to their bosome I meane youre mysdedes and the mysdedes of youre fathers together saieth the LORDE which haue made their smokes vpon the mountaynes and blasphemed me vpon the hilles therfore will I measure their olde dedes in to their bosome agayne Morouer thus saieth the LORDE like as when one wolde gather holy grapes men saye vnto him breake it not of for it is holy Euen so will I do also for my seruauntes sakes that I will not destroye them all But I will take a sede out of Iacob and out of Iuda one to take possession of my hill My chosen shal possesse these thinges my seruauntes shall dwell there Saron shal be a shepefolde and the valley of Achor shal geue stallinge for the catell of my people that feare me But as for you ye are they y t haue for saken the LORDE and forgotten my holy hill Ye haue set vp an aulter vnto fortune geuē rich drink offeringes vnto treasure Therfore wil I nombre you with the swerde that ye shall be destroyed all together For when I called no man gaue me answere when I spake ye herkened not vnto me but dyd wickednes before myne eyes and chosed the thinge that pleased me not Therfore thus saieth the LORDE God Beholde my seruauntes shal eate but ye shall haue honger Beholde my seruauntes shall drynke but ye shal suffre thurste Beholde my seruauntes shal be mery but ye shal be cōfounded Beholde my seruauntes shal reioyse for very quietnesse of herte But ye shal crie for

I myself will reioyse with Ierusalem be glad with my people And the voyce of wepinge and waylinge shall not be herde in her from thēce forth There shall neuer be childe ner olde man that haue not

shal plante vynyardes and eate the frute of them They shall not buylde another possesse they shall not plante and another eate But the life of my people shal be like a tre and so shal the worke of their hondes My chosen shal lyue longe they shall not laboure in vayne ner beget w t trouble for they are the hie blessed sede of the LORDE their frutes with them And it shal be that or euer they call I shal answere them Whyle they are yet but thinkinge how to speake I shal heare them The wolff and the lambe shal fede together and the lyon shal eate haye like the bullocke But earth shal be the

then regarde Euē him that is of a lowly troubled sprete and stōdeth in awe of my wordes For who so slayeth an oxe for me doth me so greate dishonoure as he y t kylleth a mā He that kylleth a shepe for me choketh a dogge He that bringeth me meat offringes offreth swynes bloude Who so maketh me a memoriall of Incense prayseth the thinge y t is vnright Yet take they soch wayes in honde and their soule deliteth in these abhominacions Therfore wil I also haue pleasure in laughinge them to scorne and the thinge that they feare wil I bringe vpon thē For when I called no man gaue answere when I spake they wolde not heare But dyd wickednesse before myne eyes chose the thinges that displease me Heare the worde of God all ye that feare the thinge which he speaketh You re brethren that hate you and cast you out for my names sake saye Let the LORDE magnifie himself that we maye se youre gladnesse yet they shal be cōfounded For as touchinge the cite and the temple I heare the voyce of the LORDE that will rewarde and recompēce his enemies like as when a wife bringeth forth a man childe or euer she suffre the payne of the byrth and anguysh of y e trauayle Who euer herde or sawe soch thinges doth the grounde beare in one daye or are the people borne all at once as Sion beareth his sonnes For thus-sayeth the LORDE Am I he that maketh other to beare and beare not my self Am not I he that

commaundemēt and one daye was as longe as two He called vpon the Hyest most mightie whā y e enemies preassed vpon him on euery syde and the LORDE herde him with the hayle stones They smote y e Heithenish people mightely in fallinge downe they slew all y e aduersaries so that the Heithē knewe his hoost and all his defence that the LOR himself fought against them for he folowed vpon the

sixe hundreth thousande people of fote they two were preserued whan they were brought in to the heretage namely a londe that floweth with mylke hony The LORDE gaue strength also vnto Caleb which

that he ouerthrew the mightie giaunte in the battayll that he might set vp the horne of his people agayne Thus brought he him to worshipe aboue all prynces and made him to haue a good reporte in the prayse of the LORDE y t he shulde weere a crowne of glory For he destroied the enemies on euery syde roted out the Philistynes his aduersaries brake their horne in sunder like as it is brokē yet this daye In all his workes he praysed y e Hyest Holiest ascrybed the honoure vnto him With his whole hert dyd he prayse and loue him that made him He set syngers also before the aulter and in their tune
