And the LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 thee the headH7218, and not the tailH2180; and thou shalt be above onlyH4605, and thou shalt not be beneathH4295; if that thou hearkenH8085 unto the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to observeH8104 and to doH6213 them:
And thou shalt not go asideH5493 from any of the wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040, to goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them.
Lest there should beH3426 among you manH376, or womanH802, or familyH4940, or tribeH7626, whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437 this dayH3117 from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to goH3212 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of these nationsH1471; lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509 gallH7219 and wormwoodH3939; {gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh}
And it come to pass, when he hearethH8085 the wordsH1697 of this curseH423, that he blessH1288 himself in his heartH3824, sayingH559, I shall have peaceH7965, thoughH3588 I walkH3212 in the imaginationH8307 of mine heartH3820, to addH5595 drunkennessH7302 to thirstH6771: {imagination: or, stubbornness} {drunkenness…: Heb. the drunken to the thirsty}
The LORDH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and the LORDH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
And the LORDH3068 shall separateH914 him unto evilH7451 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, according to all the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 of the lawH8451: {are: Heb. is}
So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965 afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935 from a farH7350 landH776, shall sayH559, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776, and the sicknessesH8463 which the LORDH3068 hath laidH2470 upon it; {which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick}
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
And the LORDH3068 rootedH5428 them out of their landH127 in angerH639, and in wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignationH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is this dayH3117.
And when JoshuaH3091 had let the peopleH5971 goH7971, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212 every manH376 unto his inheritanceH5159 to possessH3423 the landH776.
And the peopleH5971 servedH5647 the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091, and all the daysH3117 of the eldersH2205 that outlivedH748+H3117+H310 JoshuaH3091, who had seenH7200 all the greatH1419 worksH4639 of the LORDH3068, that he didH6213 for IsraelH3478. {outlived: Heb. prolonged days after Ioshua}
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, diedH4191, being an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 oldH1121.
And they buriedH6912 him in the borderH1366 of his inheritanceH5159 in TimnathheresH8556, in the mountH2022 of EphraimH669, on the north sideH6828 of the hillH2022 GaashH1608.
And also all that generationH1755 were gatheredH622 unto their fathersH1: and there aroseH6965 anotherH312 generationH1755 afterH310 them, which knewH3045 not the LORDH3068, nor yet the worksH4639 which he had doneH6213 for IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalimH1168:
And they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and followedH3212+H310 otherH312 godsH430, of the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 that were round aboutH5439 them, and bowedH7812 themselves unto them, and provoked the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.
And they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalH1168 and AshtarothH6252.
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was hotH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he deliveredH5414 them into the handsH3027 of spoilersH8154 that spoiledH8155 them, and he soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of their enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, so that they couldH3201 not any longerH5750 standH5975 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341.
A fruitfulH6529 landH776 into barrennessH4420, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein. {barrenness: Heb. saltiness}
GoH1980 and cryH7121 in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I rememberH2142 thee, the kindnessH2617 of thy youthH5271, the loveH160 of thine espousalsH3623, when thou wentestH3212 afterH310 me in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 that was not sownH2232. {thee: or, for thy sake}
IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068, and the firstfruitsH7225 of his increaseH8393: all that devourH398 him shall offendH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, What iniquityH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1891?
Neither saidH559 they, Where is the LORDH3068 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ledH3212 us through the wildernessH4057, through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, through a landH776 of droughtH6723, and of the shadow of deathH6757, through a landH776 that no manH376 passed throughH5674, and where no manH120 dweltH3427?
And I broughtH935 you into a plentifulH3759 countryH776, to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodnessH2898 thereof; but when ye enteredH935, ye defiledH2930 my landH776, and madeH7760 mine heritageH5159 an abominationH8441. {a plentiful…: or, the land of Carmel}
The priestsH3548 saidH559 not, Where is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 me not: the pastorsH7462 also transgressedH6586 against me, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do not profitH3276.
Wherefore I will yet pleadH7378 with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and with your children'sH1121 childrenH1121 will I pleadH7378.
For pass overH5674 the islesH339 of ChittimH3794, and seeH7200; and sendH7971 unto KedarH6938, and considerH995 diligentlyH3966, and seeH7200 if there be such a thing. {over: or, over to}
Hath a nationH1471 changedH3235 their godsH430, which are yet no godsH430? but my peopleH5971 have changedH4171 their gloryH3519 for that which doth not profitH3276.
Be astonishedH8074, O ye heavensH8064, at this, and be horribly afraidH8175, be ye veryH3966 desolateH2717, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For my peopleH5971 have committedH6213 twoH8147 evilsH7451; they have forsakenH5800 me the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and hewed them outH2672 cisternsH877, brokenH7665 cisternsH877, that can holdH3557 no waterH4325.
Is IsraelH3478 a servantH5650? is he a homebornH1004+H3211 slave? whyH4069 is he spoiledH957? {spoiled: Heb. become a spoil?}
The young lionsH3715 roaredH7580 upon him, and yelledH5414+H6963, and they madeH7896 his landH776 wasteH8047: his citiesH5892 are burnedH3341 without inhabitantH3427. {yelled: Heb. gave out their voice}
Also the childrenH1121 of NophH5297 and TahapanesH8471 have brokenH7462 the crown of thy headH6936. {have…: or, feed on thy crown}
Hast thou not procuredH6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whenH6256 he ledH3212 thee by the wayH1870?
And now what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of EgyptH4714, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of SihorH7883? or what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of AssyriaH804, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the riverH5104?
Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
For of old timeH5769 I have brokenH7665 thy yokeH5923, and burstH5423 thy bandsH4147; and thou saidstH559, I will not transgressH5674+H5647; when upon every highH1364 hillH1389 and under every greenH7488 treeH6086 thou wanderestH6808, playing the harlotH2181. {transgress: or, serve}
Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH8321, wholly a rightH571 seedH2233: how then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate plantH5494 of a strangeH5237 vineH1612 unto me?
For though thou washH3526 thee with nitreH5427, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is markedH3799 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
How canst thou sayH559, I am not pollutedH2930, I have not goneH1980 afterH310 BaalimH1168? seeH7200 thy wayH1870 in the valleyH1516, knowH3045 what thou hast doneH6213: thou art a swiftH7031 dromedaryH1072 traversingH8308 her waysH1870; {thou art…: or, O swift dromedary}
A wild assH6501 usedH3928 to the wildernessH4057, that snuffeth upH7602 the windH7307 at her pleasureH185+H5315; in her occasionH8385 who can turn her awayH7725? all they that seekH1245 her will not wearyH3286 themselves; in her monthH2320 they shall findH4672 her. {A wild…: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn…: or, reverse it?}
WithholdH4513 thy footH7272 from being unshodH3182, and thy throatH1627 from thirstH6773: but thou saidstH559, There is no hopeH2976: no; for I have lovedH157 strangersH2114, and afterH310 them will I goH3212. {There…: or, Is the case desperate?}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominationsH8441,
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto JerusalemH3389; Thy birthH4351 and thy nativityH4138 is of the landH776 of CanaanH3669; thy fatherH1 was an AmoriteH567, and thy motherH517 an HittiteH2850. {birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation}
And as for thy nativityH4138, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navelH8270 was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to suppleH4935 thee; thou wast not saltedH4414 at allH4414, nor swaddledH2853 at allH2853. {to supple…: or, when I looked upon thee}
None eyeH5869 pitiedH2347 thee, to doH6213 anyH259 of these unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast outH7993 in the openH6440 fieldH7704, to the lothingH1604 of thy personH5315, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.
And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee pollutedH947 in thine own bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421. {polluted: or, trodden under foot}
I have causedH5414 thee to multiplyH7233 as the budH6780 of the fieldH7704, and thou hast increasedH7235 and waxen greatH1431, and thou art comeH935 to excellentH5716 ornamentsH5716: thy breastsH7699 are fashionedH3559, and thine hairH8181 is grownH6779, whereas thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {caused…: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent…: Heb. ornament of ornaments}
Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine.
Then washedH7364 I thee with waterH4325; yea, I throughly washed awayH7857 thy bloodH1818 from thee, and I anointedH5480 thee with oilH8081. {blood: Heb. bloods}
I clothedH3847 thee also with broidered workH7553, and shodH5274 thee with badgers' skinH8476, and I girdedH2280 thee about with fine linenH8336, and I coveredH3680 thee with silkH4897.
I deckedH5710 thee also with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627.
And I putH5414 a jewelH5141 on thy foreheadH639, and earringsH5694 in thine earsH241, and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 upon thine headH7218. {forehead: Heb. nose}
Thus wast thou deckedH5710 with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raimentH4403 was of fine linenH8336+H8336, and silkH4897, and broidered workH7553; thou didst eatH398 fine flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081: and thou wast exceedingH3966 beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 into a kingdomH4410.
And thy renownH8034 went forthH3318 among the heathenH1471 for thy beautyH3308: for it was perfectH3632 through my comelinessH1926, which I had putH7760 upon thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
But thou didst trustH982 in thine own beautyH3308, and playedst the harlotH2181 because of thy renownH8034, and pouredst outH8210 thy fornicationsH8457 on every one that passed byH5674; his it was.
And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and deckedstH6213 thy high placesH1116 with divers coloursH2921, and playedst the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so.
Thou hast also takenH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madestH6213 to thyself imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst commit whoredomH2181 with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookestH3947 thy broideredH7553 garmentsH899, and coveredstH3680 them: and thou hast setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
My meatH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fine flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou hast even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and thus it was, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest}
Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Is this of thy whoredomsH8457 a small matterH4592, {to be…: Heb. to devour}
That thou hast slainH7819 my childrenH1121, and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to pass throughH5674 the fire for them?
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
And it came to pass afterH310 all thy wickednessH7451, (woeH188, woeH188 unto thee! saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069;)
That thou hast also builtH1129 unto thee an eminent placeH1354, and hast madeH6213 thee an high placeH7413 in every streetH7339. {eminent…: or, brothel house}
Thou hast builtH1129 thy high placeH7413 at every headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast made thy beautyH3308 to be abhorredH8581, and hast openedH6589 thy feetH7272 to every one that passed byH5674, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457.
Thou hast also committed fornicationH2181 with the EgyptiansH1121+H4714 thy neighboursH7934, greatH1432 of fleshH1320; and hast increasedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457, to provoke me to angerH3707.
Behold, therefore I have stretched outH5186 my handH3027 over thee, and have diminishedH1639 thine ordinaryH2706 food, and deliveredH5414 thee unto the willH5315 of them that hateH8130 thee, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which are ashamedH3637 of thy lewdH2154 wayH1870. {daughters: or, cities}
Thou hast played the whoreH2181 also with the AssyriansH1121+H804, becauseH1115 thou wast unsatiableH7646; yea, thou hast played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfiedH7654.
Thou hast moreover multipliedH7235 thy fornicationH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto ChaldeaH3778; and yet thou wast not satisfiedH7646 herewithH2063.
How weakH535 is thine heartH3826, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, seeing thou doestH6213 all these things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 whorishH2181 womanH802;
In that thou buildestH1129 thine eminent placeH1354 in the headH7218 of every wayH1870, and makestH6213 thine high placeH7413 in every streetH7339; and hast not been as an harlotH2181, in that thou scornestH7046 hireH868; {In that thou buildest…: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}
But as a wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003, which takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376!
They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to all whoresH2181: but thou givestH5414 thy giftsH5083 to all thy loversH157, and hirestH7809 them, that they may comeH935 unto thee on every sideH5439 for thy whoredomH8457. {hirest: Heb. bribest}
And the contraryH2016 is in thee from other womenH802 in thy whoredomsH8457, whereas none followethH310 thee to commit whoredomsH2181: and in that thou givestH5414 a rewardH868, and no rewardH868 is givenH5414 unto thee, therefore thou artH1961 contraryH2016.
Wherefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thy filthinessH5178 was poured outH8210, and thy nakednessH6172 discoveredH1540 through thy whoredomsH8457 with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thy abominationsH8441, and by the bloodH1818 of thy childrenH1121, which thou didst giveH5414 unto them;
Behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157, with whom thou hast taken pleasureH6149, and all them that thou hast lovedH157, with all them that thou hast hatedH8130; I will even gatherH6908 them round aboutH5439 against thee, and will discoverH1540 thy nakednessH6172 unto them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172.
And I will judgeH8199 thee, as women that break wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will giveH5414 thee bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousyH7068. {as: Heb. with judgments of}
And I will also giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw downH2040 thine eminent placeH1354, and shall break downH5422 thy high placesH7413: they shall stripH6584 thee also of thy clothesH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627, and leaveH3240 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {thy fair…: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
They shall also bring upH5927 a companyH6951 against thee, and they shall stoneH7275 thee with stonesH68, and thrust thee throughH1333 with their swordsH2719.
And they shall burnH8313 thine housesH1004 with fireH784, and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon thee in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802: and I will cause thee to ceaseH7673 from playing the harlotH2181, and thou also shalt giveH5414 no hireH868 any more.
So will I make my furyH2534 toward thee to restH5117, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee, and I will be quietH8252, and will be no more angryH3707.
Because thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, but hast frettedH7264 me in all these things; beholdH1887, therefore I also will recompenseH5414 thy wayH1870 upon thine headH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and thou shalt not commitH6213 this lewdnessH2154 above all thine abominationsH8441.
Behold, every one that useth proverbsH4911 shall use this proverbH4911 against thee, sayingH559, As is the motherH517, so is her daughterH1323.
Thou art thy mother'sH517 daughterH1323, that lothethH1602 her husbandH376 and her childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, which lothedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.
And thine elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 at thy left handH8040: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwellethH3427 at thy right handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323. {thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592+H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870. {as if…: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not doneH6213, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323.
Behold, this was the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467, prideH1347, fulnessH7653 of breadH3899, and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 was in her and in her daughtersH1323, neither did she strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
And they were haughtyH1361, and committedH6213 abominationH8441 beforeH6440 me: therefore I took them awayH5493 as I sawH7200 good.
Neither hath SamariaH8111 committedH2398 halfH2677 of thy sinsH2403; but thou hast multipliedH7235 thine abominationsH8441 more than theyH2007, and hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269 in all thine abominationsH8441 which thou hast doneH6213.
Thou also, which hast judgedH6419 thy sistersH269, bearH5375 thine own shameH3639 for thy sinsH2403 that thou hast committed more abominableH8581 than theyH2004: they are more righteousH6663 than thou: yea, be thou confoundedH954 also, and bearH5375 thy shameH3639, in that thou hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269.
When I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622+H7622, the captivityH7622+H7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622+H7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, then will I bring again the captivityH7622+H7622 of thy captivesH7622 in the midstH8432 of them:
That thou mayest bearH5375 thine own shameH3639, and mayest be confoundedH3637 in all that thou hast doneH6213, in that thou art a comfortH5162 unto them.
When thy sistersH269, SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, shall returnH7725 to their former estateH6927, and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their former estateH6927, then thou and thy daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to your former estateH6927.
For thy sisterH269 SodomH5467 was not mentionedH8052 by thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of thy prideH1347, {mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing} {pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies}
Before thy wickednessH7451 was discoveredH1540, as at the timeH6256 of thy reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of SyriaH758, and all that are round aboutH5439 her, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which despiseH7590 thee round aboutH5439. {Syria: Heb. Aram} {despise: or, spoil}
Thou hast borneH5375 thy lewdnessH2154 and thine abominationsH8441, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {borne: Heb. borne them}
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even dealH6213 with thee as thou hast doneH6213, which hast despisedH959 the oathH423 in breakingH6565 the covenantH1285.
Nevertheless I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with thee in the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, and I will establishH6965 unto thee an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Then thou shalt rememberH2142 thy waysH1870, and be ashamedH3637, when thou shalt receiveH3947 thy sistersH269, thine elderH1419 and thy youngerH6996: and I will giveH5414 them unto thee for daughtersH1323, but not by thy covenantH1285.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068:
That thou mayest rememberH2142, and be confoundedH954, and never openH6610 thy mouthH6310 any more becauseH6440 of thy shameH3639, when I am pacifiedH3722 toward thee for all that thou hast doneH6213, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
When EphraimH669 spakeH1696 tremblingH7578, he exaltedH5375 himself in IsraelH3478; but when he offendedH816 in BaalH1168, he diedH4191.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.
Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.
Those that be nearH7138, and those that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, which art infamousH2931+H8034 and muchH7227 vexedH4103. {infamous…: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}
Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. {power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers'H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.
And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father'sH1 daughterH1323. {one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee.
Can thine heartH3820 endureH5975, or can thine handsH3027 be strongH2388, in the daysH3117 that I shall dealH6213 with thee? I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and will doH6213 it.
And I will scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritanceH2490+H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {shalt take…: or, shalt be profaned}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
