Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones. I will pour out my wrath on them like a flood of water.

Judah’s leaders have stolen some land. They have moved their borders farther north. So I will pour out my anger on them like a flood of water.

The princes of Judah have become like those who move the landmark; upon them I will pour out my wrath like water.

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers; I will pour out my fury on them like water.

The leaders of Judah have become like those who displace a boundary marker; On them I will pour out My anger like water.

“ The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers; I will pour out My fury on them like water.

The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:[ therefore] I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers. I will pour out my rage on them like a torrential flood!

The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

“ When you arrive in the land the Lord your God is giving you as your special possession, you must never steal anyone’s land by moving the boundary markers your ancestors set up to mark their property.

The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves.But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the Lord above is mightier than these!

‘ Cursed is anyone who steals property from a neighbor by moving a boundary marker.’ And all the people will reply,‘ Amen.’

Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.

Don’t cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers set up by previous generations.

Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out.

At that time King Ahaz of Judah asked the king of Assyria for help.The armies of Edom had again invaded Judah and taken captives.And the Philistines had raided towns located in the foothills of Judah and in the Negev of Judah. They had already captured and occupied Beth shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages.The Lord was humbling Judah because of King Ahaz of Judah, for he had encouraged his people to sin and had been utterly unfaithful to the Lord.So when King Tiglath pileser of Assyria arrived, he attacked Ahaz instead of helping him.Ahaz took valuable items from the Lord’s Temple, the royal palace, and from the homes of his officials and gave them to the king of Assyria as tribute. But this did not help him.Even during this time of trouble, King Ahaz continued to reject the Lord.

Soon I will pour out my fury on you and unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your detestable sins.

When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”

They swirl around me like floodwaters all day long. They have engulfed me completely.

King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath pileser of Assyria with this message:“ I am your servant and your vassal. Come up and rescue me from the attacking armies of Aram and Israel.”Then Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Temple of the Lord and the palace treasury and sent it as a payment to the Assyrian king.So the king of Assyria attacked the Aramean capital of Damascus and led its population away as captives, resettling them in Kir. He also killed King Rezin.

But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”
