The Tanach, with the evidence built in
This is the complete Hebrew Bible in the Jewish Publication Society translation. Wherever a real archaeological find bears on the text, those words are underlined in gold✦. Hover over them or tap them to see the artifact and what it confirms. From there, Next find takes you to the next underline, so you can tour a whole book’s evidence, and the share button turns the verse into an image.
Each chapter lists its finds under its title, and the chapter picker shows how many finds every book and chapter has. The AA button sets the text size, light or dark, and English, Hebrew, or the two together.
Chapter 31
1Ha!Those who go down to Egypt for helpAnd rely upon horses!They have put their trust in abundance of chariots,In vast numbers of riders,And they have not turned to the Holy One of Israel,They have not sought the LORD.
2But He too is wise!He has brought on misfortune,And has not canceled His word.So He shall rise against the house of evildoers,And the allies of the workers of iniquity.
3For the Egyptians are man, not God,And their horses are flesh, not spirit;And when the LORD stretches out His arm,The helper shall tripAnd the helped one shall fall,And both shall perish together.
4For thus the LORD has said to me:As a lion—a great beast—Growls over its preyAnd, when the shepherds gatherIn force against him,Is not dismayed by their criesNor cowed by their noise—So the LORD of Hosts will descend to make warAgainst the mount and the hill of Zion.
5Like the birds that fly, even so will the LORD of Hosts shield Jerusalem, shielding and saving, protecting and rescuing.
6Return, O children of Israel, to Him to whom they have been so shamefully false;
7for in that day everyone will reject his idols of silver and idols of gold, which your hands have made for your guilt.
8Then Assyria shall fall,Not by the sword of man;A sword not of humans shall devour him.He shall shrivel before the sword,And his young men pine away.
9His rock shall melt with terror,And his officers shall collapse from weakness—Declares the LORD, who has a fire in Zion,Who has an oven in Jerusalem.
