The onus: a prophetic oracle, a weighty pronouncement of the word of our Lord upon Israel. Saith our Lord extending the heaven, and founding the earth, and forming the spirit of man in him:THE burden of the word of our Lord vpon a Israel. Sayth our Lord extending the heauen, & founding the earth, & forming the spirit of man in him:✦Onus verbi Domini super Israël.

2Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of crapulæ: drunkenness, a stupefying over-indulgence, not merely excess food to all peoples round about: yea and Juda shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.Behold I wil make Ierusalem a lintel of surfet to al peoples round about: yea & b Iuda shal be in the siege against Ierusalem.✦Ecce ego ponam Jerusalem superliminare crapulæ omnibus populis in circuitu : sed et Juda erit in obsidione contra Jerusalem.

6In that day I will make the dukes of Juda as a furnace of fire amongst sticks, and as a facem: a burning torch, firebrand, not a mark or trademark of fire in hay: and they shall devour to the right hand, and to the left all people round about: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her place in Jerusalem.In that day I wil make the dukes of Iuda as a furnace of fyre amongst stickes, and as a brand of fire in hay: and they shal deuoure to the right hand, & to the left al people round about: and Ierusalem shal be inhabited agayne in her place in Ierusalem.✦In die illa ponam duces Juda sicut caminum ignis in lignis, et sicut facem ignis in fœno : et devorabunt ad dexteram et ad sinistram omnes populos in circuitu, et habitabitur Jerusalem rursus in loco suo in Jerusalem.

9And it shall be in that day: I will seek to destroy all Nations, that come against Jerusalem.And it shal be in that day: I wil seke to destroy al Nations, that come against Ierusalem.✦Et erit in die illa : quæram conterere omnes gentes quæ veniunt contra Jerusalem.
10And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shall look toward me, whom they pierced: and they shall lament him with lamentation as it were upon an only begotten, and they shall sorrow upon him, as the manner is to be sorrowful in the death of the first begotten.And I wil powre out vpon the house of Dauid, & vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shal looke toward me, whom they pearced: and they shal lament him with lamentation as it were vpon an only begotten, and they shal sorow vpon him, as the maner is to be sorowful in the death of the first begotten.✦Et effundam super domum David et super habitatores Jerusalem spiritum gratiæ et precum : et aspicient ad me quem confixerunt, et plangent eum planctu quasi super unigenitum, et dolebunt super eum, ut doleri solet in morte primogeniti.
