Behold, the LORDH3068 maketh the earthH776 emptyH1238, and maketh it wasteH1110, and turnethH5753 it upside downH6440, and scattereth abroadH6327 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. {turneth…: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}
And it shall be, as with the peopleH5971, so with the priestH3548; as with the servantH5650, so with his masterH113; as with the maidH8198, so with her mistressH1404; as with the buyerH7069, so with the sellerH4376; as with the lenderH3867, so with the borrowerH3867; as with the taker of usuryH5383, soH834 with the giver of usuryH5378 to him. {priest: or, prince}
The landH776 shall be utterlyH1238 emptiedH1238, and utterlyH962 spoiledH962: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 this wordH1697.
The earthH776 mournethH56 and fadeth awayH5034, the worldH8398 languishethH535 and fadeth awayH5034, the haughtyH4791 peopleH5971 of the earthH776 do languishH535. {the haughty…: Heb. the height of the people}
The earthH776 also is defiledH2610 under the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; because they have transgressedH5674 the lawsH8451, changedH2498 the ordinanceH2706, brokenH6565 the everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Therefore hath the curseH423 devouredH398 the earthH776, and they that dwellH3427 therein are desolateH816: therefore the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 are burnedH2787, and fewH4213 menH582 leftH7604.
The new wineH8492 mournethH56, the vineH1612 languishethH535, all the merryheartedH8056+H3820 do sighH584.
The mirthH4885 of tabretsH8596 ceasethH7673, the noiseH7588 of them that rejoiceH5947 endethH2308, the joyH4885 of the harpH3658 ceasethH7673.
They shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 with a songH7892; strong drinkH7941 shall be bitterH4843 to them that drinkH8354 it.
The cityH7151 of confusionH8414 is broken downH7665: every houseH1004 is shut upH5462, that no man may come inH935.
There is a cryingH6682 for wineH3196 in the streetsH2351; all joyH8057 is darkenedH6150, the mirthH4885 of the landH776 is goneH1540.
In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolationH8047, and the gateH8179 is smittenH3807 with destructionH7591.
When thus it shall be in the midstH7130 of the landH776 amongH8432 the peopleH5971, there shall be as the shakingH5363 of an olive treeH2132, and as the gleaning grapesH5955 when the vintageH1210 is doneH3615.
They shall lift upH5375 their voiceH6963, they shall singH7442 for the majestyH1347 of the LORDH3068, they shall cry aloudH6670 from the seaH3220.
Wherefore glorifyH3513 ye the LORDH3068 in the firesH217, even the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in the islesH339 of the seaH3220. {fires: or, valleys}
From the uttermost partH3671 of the earthH776 have we heardH8085 songsH2158, even gloryH6643 to the righteousH6662. But I saidH559, My leannessH7334, my leannessH7334, woeH188 unto me! the treacherous dealersH898 have dealt treacherouslyH898; yea, the treacherous dealersH898 have dealt veryH899 treacherouslyH898. {uttermost…: Heb. wing} {My leanness: Heb. Leanness to me, or, My secret to me}
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, are upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of the earthH776.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleethH5127 from the noiseH6963 of the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that cometh upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for the windowsH699 from on highH4791 are openH6605, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 do shakeH7493.
The earthH776 is utterlyH7489 broken downH7489, the earthH776 is cleanH6565 dissolvedH6565, the earthH776 is movedH4131 exceedinglyH4131.
The earthH776 shall reelH5128 to and froH5128 like a drunkardH7910, and shall be removedH5110 like a cottageH4412; and the transgressionH6588 thereof shall be heavyH3513 upon it; and it shall fallH5307, and not riseH6965 againH3254.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall punishH6485 the hostH6635 of the high onesH4791 that are on highH4791, and the kingsH4428 of the earthH127 upon the earthH127. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And they shall be gathered togetherH622, as prisonersH616 are gatheredH626 in the pitH953, and shall be shut upH5462 in the prisonH4525, and after manyH7230 daysH3117 shall they be visitedH6485. {as prisoners…: Heb. with the gathering of prisoners} {pit: or, dungeon} {visited: or, found wanting}
Then the moonH3842 shall be confoundedH2659, and the sunH2535 ashamedH954, when the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall reignH4427 in mountH2022 ZionH6726, and in JerusalemH3389, and before his ancientsH2205 gloriouslyH3519. {before…: or, there shall be glory before his ancients}

And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}

O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they have not grievedH2342; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.

Wherefore a lionH738 out of the forestH3293 shall slayH5221 them, and a wolfH2061 of the eveningsH6160 shall spoilH7703 them, a leopardH5246 shall watchH8245 over their citiesH5892: every one that goeth outH3318 thence shallH2007 be torn in piecesH2963: because their transgressionsH6588 are manyH7231, and their backslidingsH4878 are increasedH6105. {evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}

For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As mine angerH639 and my furyH2534 hath been poured forthH5413 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; so shall my furyH2534 be poured forthH5413 upon you, when ye shall enterH935 into EgyptH4714: and ye shall be an execrationH423, and an astonishmentH8047, and a curseH7045, and a reproachH2781; and ye shall seeH7200 this placeH4725 no more.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will setH7760 my faceH6440 against you for evilH7451, and to cut offH3772 all JudahH3063.

For I will punishH6485 them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as I have punishedH6485 JerusalemH3389, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698:

He tookH3947 also out of the cityH5892 anH259 eunuchH5631, which had the chargeH6496 of the menH582 of warH4421; and sevenH7651 menH582 of them that were nearH7200 the king'sH4428 personH6440, which were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the principalH8269 scribeH5608 of the hostH6635, who musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and threescoreH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that were foundH4672 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892. {were near…: Heb. saw the face of the king} {principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and put them to deathH4191 in RiblahH7247 in the landH127 of HamathH2574. Thus JudahH3063 was carried away captiveH1540 out of his own landH776.
This is the peopleH5971 whom NebuchadrezzarH5019 carried away captiveH1540: in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 threeH7969 thousandH505 JewsH3064 and threeH7969 and twentyH6242:
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 he carried away captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 personsH5315: {persons: Heb. souls}
In the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 of the JewsH3064 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568 personsH5315: all the personsH5315 were fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.

PrincesH8269 are hanged upH8518 by their handH3027: the facesH6440 of eldersH2205 were not honouredH1921.
They tookH5375 the young menH970 to grindH2911, and the childrenH5288 fellH3782 under the woodH6086.
The eldersH2205 have ceasedH7673 from the gateH8179, the young menH970 from their musickH5058.
The timeH6256 is comeH935, the dayH3117 draweth nearH5060: let not the buyerH7069 rejoiceH8055, nor the sellerH4376 mournH56: for wrathH2740 is upon all the multitudeH1995 thereof.
For the sellerH4376 shall not returnH7725 to that which is soldH4465, although they were yet aliveH2416: for the visionH2377 is touching the whole multitudeH1995 thereof, which shall not returnH7725; neither shall anyH376 strengthenH2388 himself in the iniquityH5771 of his lifeH2416. {although they…: Heb. though their life were yet among the living} {in the…: or, whose life is in his iniquity} {the iniquity: Heb. his iniquity}

And if the prophetH5030 be deceivedH6601 when he hath spokenH1696 a thingH1697, I the LORDH3068 have deceivedH6601 that prophetH5030, and I will stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon him, and will destroyH8045 him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
And they shall bearH5375 the punishment of their iniquityH5771: the punishmentH5771 of the prophetH5030 shall be even as the punishmentH5771 of him that seekethH1875 unto him;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
And there shall be, like peopleH5971, like priestH3548: and I will punishH6485 them for their waysH1870, and rewardH7725 them their doingsH4611. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {reward: Heb. cause to return}
