Now in the twentyH6242 and fourthH702 dayH3117 of this monthH2320 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were assembledH622 with fastingH6685, and with sackclothesH8242, and earthH127 upon them.
And the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 separatedH914 themselves from all strangersH1121+H5236, and stoodH5975 and confessedH3034 their sinsH2403, and the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1. {strangers: Heb. strange children}
And they stood upH6965 in their placeH5977, and readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430 one fourth partH7243 of the dayH3117; and another fourth partH7243 they confessedH3034, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
Then stood upH6965 upon the stairsH4608, of the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, KadmielH6934, ShebaniahH7645, BunniH1138, SherebiahH8274, BaniH1137, and ChenaniH3662, and criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430. {stairs: or, scaffold}
Then the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and KadmielH6934, BaniH1137, HashabniahH2813, SherebiahH8274, HodijahH1941, ShebaniahH7645, and PethahiahH6611, saidH559, Stand upH6965 and blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5769: and blessedH1288 be thy gloriousH3519 nameH8034, which is exaltedH7311 above all blessingH1293 and praiseH8416.
Thou, even thou, art LORDH3068 alone; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064, the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064, with all their hostH6635, the earthH776, and all things that are therein, the seasH3220, and all that is therein, and thou preservestH2421 them all; and the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 worshippethH7812 thee.
Thou art the LORDH3068 the GodH430, who didst chooseH977 AbramH87, and broughtest him forthH3318 out of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, and gavestH7760 him the nameH8034 of AbrahamH85;
And foundestH4672 his heartH3824 faithfulH539 beforeH6440 thee, and madestH3772 a covenantH1285 with him to giveH5414 the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the JebusitesH2983, and the GirgashitesH1622, to giveH5414 it, I say, to his seedH2233, and hast performedH6965 thy wordsH1697; for thou art righteousH6662:
And didst seeH7200 the afflictionH6040 of our fathersH1 in EgyptH4714, and heardestH8085 their cryH2201 by the RedH5488 seaH3220;
And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
And thou didst divideH1234 the seaH3220 beforeH6440 them, so that they went throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dry landH3004; and their persecutorsH7291 thou threwestH7993 into the deepsH4688, as a stoneH68 into the mightyH5794 watersH4325.
Moreover thou leddestH5148 them in the dayH3119 by a cloudyH6051 pillarH5982; and in the nightH3915 by a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou camest downH3381 also upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and spakestH1696 with them from heavenH8064, and gavestH5414 them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941, and trueH571 lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687: {true…: Heb. laws of truth}
And madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedstH6680 them preceptsH4687, statutesH2706, and lawsH8451, by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650:
And gavestH5414 them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and promisedstH559 them that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst swornH3027+H5375 to giveH5414 them. {which…: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 mercies'H7356 sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 unto the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
And because of all this we makeH3772 a sureH548 covenant, and writeH3789 it; and our princesH8269, LevitesH3881, and priestsH3548, sealH2856 unto it. {seal: Heb. are at the sealing, or, sealed}

And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
For I knowH3045 thy rebellionH4805, and thy stiffH7186 neckH6203: behold, while I am yet aliveH2416 with you this dayH3117, ye have been rebelliousH4784 against the LORDH3068; and how much more afterH310 my deathH4194?
And saidH559, If thou wilt diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and wilt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in his sightH5869, and wilt give earH238 to his commandmentsH4687, and keepH8104 all his statutesH2706, I will putH7760 none of these diseasesH4245 upon thee, which I have broughtH7760 upon the EgyptiansH4714: for I am the LORDH3068 that healethH7495 thee.
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
O that there were suchH2088 anH4310 heartH3824 in themH5414, that they would fearH3372 me, and keepH8104 all my commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3117, that it might be wellH3190 with them, and with their childrenH1121 for everH5769!
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and, behold, it is a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971:
Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185+H6203, as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414 yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935 into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769: and serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from you. {be ye…: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield…: Heb. give the hand}
HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will testifyH5749 unto thee: O IsraelH3478, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto me;
UnderstandH3045 therefore, that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee not this goodH2896 landH776 to possessH3423 it for thy righteousnessH6666; for thou art a stiffneckedH6203+H7186 peopleH5971.
And he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
But my peopleH5971 would not hearkenH8085 to my voiceH6963; and IsraelH3478 wouldH14 none of me.
So I gave them upH7971 unto their own hearts'H3820 lustH8307: and they walkedH3212 in their own counselsH4156. {unto…: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination}
OhH3863 that my peopleH5971 had hearkenedH8085 unto me, and IsraelH3478 had walkedH1980 in my waysH1870!
I should soonH4592 have subduedH3665 their enemiesH341, and turnedH7725 my handH3027 against their adversariesH6862.
Furthermore the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto me, sayingH559, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and, behold, it is a stiffneckedH6203+H7186 peopleH5971:
HardenH7185 not your heartH3824, as in the provocationH4808, and as in the dayH3117 of temptationH4531 in the wildernessH4057: {provocation: Heb. contention}
When your fathersH1 temptedH5254 me, provedH974 me, and sawH7200 my workH6467.
FortyH705 yearsH8141 long was I grievedH6962 with this generationH1755, and saidH559, It is a peopleH5971 that do errH8582 in their heartH3824, and they have not knownH3045 my waysH1870:
O thatH3863 thou hadst hearkenedH7181 to my commandmentsH4687! then had thy peaceH7965 been as a riverH5104, and thy righteousnessH6666 as the wavesH1530 of the seaH3220:
Likewise when the LORDH3068 sentH7971 you from KadeshbarneaH6947, sayingH559, Go upH5927 and possessH3423 the landH776 which I have givenH5414 you; then ye rebelledH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye believedH539 him not, nor hearkenedH8085 to his voiceH6963.
HeH376, that being often reprovedH8433 hardenethH7185 his neckH6203, shall suddenlyH6621 be destroyedH7665, and that without remedyH4832. {He…: Heb. A man of reproofs}
Because I knewH1847 that thou art obstinateH7186, and thy neckH6203 is an ironH1270 sinewH1517, and thy browH4696 brassH5154; {obstinate: Heb. hard}
RememberH2142 thy servantsH5650, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290; lookH6437 not unto the stubbornnessH7190 of this peopleH5971, nor to their wickednessH7562, nor to their sinH2403:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 upon this cityH5892 and upon all her townsH5892 all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against it, because they have hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, that they might not hearH8085 my wordsH1697.
But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grown thickH5666, thou art coveredH3780 with fatness; then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, and lightly esteemedH5034 the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.
ButG1161 afterG2596 thyG4675 hardnessG4643 andG2532 impenitentG279 heartG2588 treasurest upG2343 unto thyselfG4572 wrathG3709 againstG1722 the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 andG2532 revelationG602 of the righteous judgmentG1341 of GodG2316;
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
ButG235 exhortG3870 one anotherG1438 dailyG2596+G1538+G2250, whileG891+G3739 it is calledG2564 To dayG4594; lestG3363 anyG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 be hardenedG4645 through the deceitfulnessG539 of sinG266.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
WhileG1722 it is saidG3004, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456, hardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 the provocationG3894.
But they rebelledH4784, and vexedH6087 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307: therefore he was turnedH2015 to be their enemyH341, and he foughtH3898 against them.
