| v1 What is the ''burden''<Ref name="burden">{{04853}}</Ref> they are talking about and do you bear a similar burden? Is it "[[tribute]]"? Where is your [[sloth]]?<Ref>"The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute." [[Proverbs 12]]:24 </Ref>
|-
| What is the ''Vision''<Ref name="vision">{{02377}}</Ref>? The word normally is said to be Chazon but here and several places it is said to be Hazon. We see it used in Samuel <Ref>[[1 Samuel 3]]:1  And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious [''costly, weighty''] in those days; [there was] no open vision <02377>.</Ref>  and reference to Isaiah<Ref>[[Isaiah 1]]:1  The vision <02377> of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.</Ref> and in Proverbs<Ref>Proverbs 29:18  Where [there is] no vision <02377>, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.</Ref>. But also in Jeremiah<Ref> [[Jeremiah 14]]:14  Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision <02377> and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
: [[Jeremiah 23]]:16  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision <02377> of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.</Ref>, Lamentations<Ref>[[Lamentations 2]]:9  Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes [are] among the Gentiles: the law [is] no [more]; her prophets also find no vision <02377> from the LORD.</Ref>  Ezekiel<Ref>[[Ezekiel 7]]:26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision <02377> of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
: [[Ezekiel 12]]:22  Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision <02377> faileth? 23  Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision <02377>.24  For there shall be no more any vain vision <02377> nor flattering divination within the house of [[Israel]].
: [[Ezekiel 12]]:27  Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The vision <02377> that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth of the times [that are] far off. [''Here the word appears as  הֶחָז֛וֹן HeyChetZayinVavNun'']
: Ezekiel 13:16  [To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions <02377> of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.</Ref>

Also the word  '''''wrath''''' for his ''enemies''... mean since the term ''wrath'' is not in the text but assumed from the word  '''''reserveth''''' which is from the a word meaning ''to keep'' but is found here as  <span style="color:#0000FF">  ''[[Vav]]'''''Nun'''''[[Vav]]'''''TetReish'''</span>with additional Vavs? and the word enemies, normally only AlefYodBeit<Ref name="enemies">{{0341}}</Ref>  is written <span style="color:#0000FF">LamedAlefYodBeitYodVav לְאֹיְבָֽיו </span> which is only found here and in [[Isaiah 59]]:18<Ref>[[Isaiah 59]]:6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.</Ref> and [[Isaiah 66]]:6<Ref>[[Isaiah 66]]:6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.</Ref> concerning ''recompense''.
