Chapter The destruction that shall come on the mount Seir that is on the Idumeans because they troubled the people of the Lorde 1 MOreouer the worde of the Lorde came vnto me saying 2 Thou sonne of man set thy face toward the mount Seir prophecie against it 3 And say vnto it thus saith the Lorde God Beholde O thou mount Seir I wyll vpon thee I wyll reache out my hande ouer thee yea waste and desolate wyll I make thee 4 Thy cities wyll I laye waste thou shalt lye voyde that thou mayst knowe howe that I am the Lorde 5 Forsomuch as thou bearest an olde enmitie and hast put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sworde in the time of their calamitie when their iniquitie had an ende 6 Therefore as truely as I lyue saith the Lorde God I wyll prepare thee vnto blood yea blood shall folowe vpon thee except thou hate blood euen blood shall persecute thee 7 Thus wyll I make the mount Seir desolate and waste and cut out from it him that passeth out and him that returneth 8 His mountaines wyll I fill with his slaine men thy hils valleys and al thy riuers the slaine with the sworde shall fall in them 9 I wyll make thee a perpetuall wildernes so that thy cities shal not returne that ye may knowe that I am the Lorde 10 And because thou hast saide both these nations and both these landes must be myne and we wyll haue them in possession whereas the Lorde waâ— there 11 Therefore as truely as I lyue saâ— the Lorde God I wyll euen do accâ—ding to thy wrath and according to thyne enuiyng which thou hast vsed in thyne hatred against them and I wyll make my selfe knowen amongst them when I haue iudged thee 12 Yea and thou shalt knowe that I the Lorde haue heard all thy blasphemies whiche thou hast spoken against the mountaines of Israel saying They are made waste geuen vs to deuour 13 Thus with your mouthes ye haue made your boastes against me yea and multiplied your wordes against me which I haue heard 14 Thus saith the Lord God To the ioy of all the worlde wyll I make thee waste 15 And lyke as thou wast glad because the heritage of the house of Israel was destroyed euen so wyll I do vnto thee thou shalt be destroyed O mount Seir and all Idumea wholly and they shall knowe that I am the Lorde The .xxxvj.

Chapter A prayer for the faythfull 1 A Prayer of Habacuc the prophete for the ignoraunces 2 O lord I haue heard thy voyce and was afrayde O Lorde reuiue thy worke in the middes of the yeres in the middes of the yeres make it knowen in wrath remember mercie 3 God commeth from Theman and the holy one from mount Paran Selah his glorie couereth the heauens and the earth is full of his prayse 4 And his brightnesse was as the light he had hornes comming out of his handes and there was the hyding of his power 5 Before him went the pestilence and burning coales went foorth before his feete 6 He stoode and measured the earth he behelde and dissolued the nations and the euerlasting mountaynes were broken and the auncient hilles did bowe his wayes are euerlasting 7 For iniquitie I saw the tentes of Chusan and the curtaynes of the lande of Madian dyd tremble 8 Was the Lorde angry against the riuers or was thyne anger against the â—oodes or was thy wrath against the sea that thou diddest ryde vpon thy horses thy charets brought saluation 9 Thy bow was manyfestly reuealed and the othes of the tribes were a sure word Selah thou diddest cleaue the earth with riuers 10 The mountaynes sawe

they went and at the bright shining of thy speares 12 Thou trodest downe the land in anger and dyddest threshe the heathen in displeasure 13 Thou wentest foorth for the saluation of thy people euen for saluation with thyne annoynted thou hast wounded the head of the house of the wicked and discoueredst the foundations vnto the necke Selah 14 Thou diddest strike thorow with his owne staues the heades of his villages they came out as a whirlewinde to scatter me their reioycyng was as to deuour the poore secretly 15 Thou diddest walke in the sea with thyne horses vpon the heape of great

and Hierusalem because of their idolatrie 1 THe worde of the Lord which came vnto Sophoni the sonne of Chusi the sonne of Gedaliah the sonne of Amariah the sonne of Hezekiah in the time of Iosia the sonne of Amon king of Iuda 2 I will surely destroy all thinges in the land sayth the Lorde 3 I will destroy man and beast I will destroy the foules in the ayre and the fishe in the sea and great ruine shall fall on the wicked and I wil vtterly destroy the men out of the land sayth the Lorde 4 I wil stretch out myne hand vpon Iuda and vpon all such as dwell at Hierusalem thus will I roote out the remnaunt of Baal from this place and the names of the Kemurins and priestes 5 Yea such as vpon their house toppes worship and bowe them selues vnto the hoast of heauen whiche sweare by the Lorde and

clothing 9 In the same day also will I visite all those that leape ouer the thresholde so proudly whiche fill their lordes house with robberie and falshood 10 At the same time sayth the Lord there shal be hearde a great crye from the fishe porte and an howling from the seconde porte and a great destruction from the hylles 11 Howle ye that dwel in the lowe places for al the marchaunt people are destroyed and all they that were laden with siluer are rooted out 12 At the same time will I searche Hierusalem with lanternes and visite them that continue in their dregges and say in their heartes Tush the Lorde will do neither good nor euyll 13 Therfore their goodes shal be spoyled their houses layed waste they shall buylde houses and not dwell in them they shall plante vineyardes but not drinke the wine therof 14 For the great day of the Lorde is at hande it is harde by and commeth on a pace euen the bitter voyce of the Lordes day then shall the strong man crye out 15 That day is a day of wrath a day of trouble and heauinesse a day of vtter destruction and miserie a darke glowming day a cloudy and stormie day 16 A day of the trumpet and alarum against the strong cities and hie towres 17 I will bring the people into such vexation that they shall go about like blinde men because they haue sinned against the Lorde their blood shal be powred out as dust their bodies as the myre 18 Neither their siluer nor their gold shal be able to deliuer them in that wrothful day of the Lorde but the whoâ—e lande shal be consumed thorowe the fire of his ielousie for he shall soone make
