חֲרוּץ

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
