TSADE. The fowlers chased me as a sparrow; all my enemies destroyed my life in a pit without cause,

[ 24:15] And now after whom do you come forth, O king of Israel? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea?

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls (this is [the gate] of the king's garden). And the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about; and [the king] went by the way of the plain.

And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was dispersed from about him.

For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again You have changed and are terribly destroying me;

A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

Behold, I [will] send many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden. And the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.

And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah, and he judged him.

And the Lord said to me, You have seen well, for I have watched over My words, to perform them.

For thus says the Lord: The houses of the king of Babylon shall be threshed as a floor in the season; yet a little while, and her harvest shall come.

Thus says the Lord: An end has come to the land of Israel, the end has come on the four corners of the land.

My eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy, for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

The end has come on you,

Now I will pour out My anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish My wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense all your abominations upon you.

Behold, the day of the Lord! Although the rod has blossomed,

The time has come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.

Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, [and] the vision has perished?

Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord: I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall by no means use this parable [again]; for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.

Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

And He said, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A fowler's basket. And the Lord said to me, The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
