The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come. {merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from…: or, from that which is evil}
He shall enterH935 into peaceH7965: they shall restH5117 in their bedsH4904, each one walkingH1980 in his uprightnessH5228. {enter into: or, go in} {in his…: or, before him}
But draw nearH7126 hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceressH6049, the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003 and the whoreH2181.
Against whom do ye sportH6026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wideH7337 mouthH6310, and draw outH748 the tongueH3956? are ye not childrenH3206 of transgressionH6588, a seedH2233 of falsehoodH8267,
EnflamingH2552 yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, slayingH7819 the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cliftsH5585 of the rocksH5553? {with…: or, among the oaks}
Among the smoothH2511 stones of the streamH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: even to them hast thou pouredH8210 a drink offeringH5262, thou hast offeredH5927 a meat offeringH4503. Should I receive comfortH5162 in these?
Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375 mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760 thy bedH4904: even thither wentest thou upH5927 to offerH2076 sacrificeH2077.
BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760 thy remembranceH2146: for thou hast discoveredH1540 thyself to another than me, and art gone upH5927; thou hast enlargedH7337 thy bedH4904, and madeH3772 thee a covenant with them; thou lovedstH157 their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372 it. {made…: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where…: or, thou providedst room}
And thou wentestH7788 to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235 thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971 thy messengersH6735 far offH7350, and didst debaseH8213 thyself even unto hellH7585. {thou…: or, thou respectedst}
Thou art weariedH3021 in the greatnessH7230 of thy wayH1870; yet saidstH559 thou not, There is no hopeH2976: thou hast foundH4672 the lifeH2416 of thine handH3027; therefore thou wast not grievedH2470. {life: or, living}
And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672 or fearedH3372, that thou hast liedH3576, and hast not rememberedH2142 me, nor laidH7760 it to thy heartH3820? have not I held my peaceH2814 even of oldH5769, and thou fearestH3372 me not?
I will declareH5046 thy righteousnessH6666, and thy worksH4639; for they shall not profitH3276 thee.
When thou criestH2199, let thy companiesH6899 deliverH5337 thee; but the windH7307 shall carry them all awayH5375; vanityH1892 shall takeH3947 them: but he that putteth his trustH2620 in me shall possessH5157 the landH776, and shall inheritH3423 my holyH6944 mountainH2022;
And shall sayH559, Cast ye upH5549, cast ye upH5549, prepareH6437 the wayH1870, take upH7311 the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971.
For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.
For I will not contendH7378 for everH5769, neither will I be alwaysH5331 wrothH7107: for the spiritH7307 should failH5848 beforeH6440 me, and the soulsH5397 which I have madeH6213.
For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousnessH1215 was I wrothH7107, and smoteH5221 him: I hidH5641 me, and was wrothH7107, and he went onH3212 frowardlyH7726 in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820. {frowardly: Heb. turning away}
I have seenH7200 his waysH1870, and will healH7495 him: I will leadH5148 him also, and restoreH7999 comfortsH5150 unto him and to his mournersH57.
I createH1254 the fruitH5108 of the lipsH8193; PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him that is far offH7350, and to him that is nearH7138, saithH559 the LORDH3068; and I will healH7495 him.
But the wickedH7563 are like the troubledH1644 seaH3220, when it cannotH3201 restH8252, whose watersH4325 cast upH1644 mireH7516 and dirtH2916.
There is no peaceH7965, saithH559 my GodH430, to the wickedH7563.

To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559 the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burnt offeringsH5930 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beastsH4806; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocksH6499, or of lambsH3532, or of he goatsH6260. {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to treadH7429 my courtsH2691? {to appear: Heb. to be seen}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hatethH8130: they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them.
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
Yet they seekH1875 me dailyH3117+H3117, and delightH2654 to knowH1847 my waysH1870, as a nationH1471 that didH6213 righteousnessH6666, and forsookH5800 not the ordinanceH4941 of their GodH430: they askH7592 of me the ordinancesH4941 of justiceH6664; they take delightH2654 in approachingH7132 to GodH430.
Wherefore have we fastedH6684, say they, and thou seestH7200 not? wherefore have we afflictedH6031 our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledgeH3045? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 pleasureH2656, and exactH5065 all your laboursH6092. {labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}
Behold, ye fastH6684 for strifeH7379 and debateH4683, and to smiteH5221 with the fistH106 of wickednessH7562: ye shall not fastH6684 as ye do this dayH3117, to make your voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 on highH4791. {ye shall…: or, ye fast not as this day}
Is it such a fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? a dayH3117 for a manH120 to afflictH6031 his soulH5315? is it to bow downH3721 his headH7218 as a bulrushH100, and to spreadH3331 sackclothH8242 and ashesH665 under him? wilt thou callH7121 thisH2088 a fastH6685, and an acceptableH7522 dayH3117 to the LORDH3068? {a day…: or, to afflict his soul for a day?}
Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH6605 the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425 the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 every yokeH4133? {the heavy…: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}
Their websH6980 shall not become garmentsH899, neither shall they coverH3680 themselves with their worksH4639: their worksH4639 are worksH4639 of iniquityH205, and the actH6467 of violenceH2555 is in their handsH3709.
Their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and they make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818: their thoughtsH4284 are thoughtsH4284 of iniquityH205; wastingH7701 and destructionH7667 are in their pathsH4546. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
The wayH1870 of peaceH7965 they knowH3045 not; and there is no judgmentH4941 in their goingsH4570: they have made them crookedH6140 pathsH5410: whosoever goethH1869 therein shall not knowH3045 peaceH7965. {judgment: or, right}
Thou meetestH6293 him that rejoicethH7797 and workethH6213 righteousnessH6664, those that rememberH2142 thee in thy waysH1870: behold, thou art wrothH7107; for we have sinnedH2398: in those is continuanceH5769, and we shall be savedH3467.
He that killethH7819 an oxH7794 is as if he slewH5221 a manH376; he that sacrificethH2076 a lambH7716, as if he cut offH6202 a dog'sH3611 neckH6202; he that offerethH5927 an oblationH4503, as if he offered swine'sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burnethH2142 incenseH3828, as if he blessedH1288 an idolH205. Yea, they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delightethH2654 in their abominationsH8251. {lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will chooseH977 their delusionsH8586, and will bringH935 their fearsH4035 upon them; because when I calledH7121, none did answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, they did not hearH8085: but they didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that in which I delightedH2654 not. {delusions: or, devices}
TrustH982 ye not in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, are these.
For if ye throughlyH3190 amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611; if ye throughlyH6213 executeH6213 judgmentH4941 between a manH376 and his neighbourH7453;
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
Then will I cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725, in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Behold, ye trustH982 in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, that cannot profitH3276.
Will ye stealH1589, murderH7523, and commit adulteryH5003, and swearH7650 falselyH8267, and burn incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and walkH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 whom ye knowH3045 not;
And comeH935 and standH5975 beforeH6440 me in this houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and sayH559, We are deliveredH5337 to doH6213 all these abominationsH8441? {which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
Is this houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, become a denH4631 of robbersH6530 in your eyesH5869? Behold, even I have seenH7200 it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Who hateH8130 the goodH2896, and loveH157 the evilH7451; who pluck offH1497 their skinH5785 from off them, and their fleshH7607 from off their bonesH6106;
Who also eatH398 the fleshH7607 of my peopleH5971, and flayH6584 their skinH5785 from off them; and they breakH6476 their bonesH6106, and chop them in piecesH6566, as for the potH5518, and as fleshH1320 withinH8432 the caldronH7037.
Then shall they cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068, but he will not hearH6030 them: he will even hideH5641 his faceH6440 from them at that timeH6256, as they have behaved themselves illH7489 in their doingsH4611.
ButG1161 allG3956 theirG846 worksG2041 they doG4160 forG4314 to be seenG2300 of menG444+G1161: they make broadG4115 theirG846 phylacteriesG5440, andG2532 enlargeG3170 the bordersG2899 of theirG846 garmentsG2440, {phylacteries: pieces of parchment containing sentences of the law}
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye devourG2719 widows'G5503 housesG3614, andG2532 for a pretenceG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayerG4336: thereforeG1223+G5124 ye shall receiveG2983 the greaterG4055 damnationG2917.
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3756 righteousG1342, no, notG3761 oneG1520:
There isG2076 noneG3756 that understandethG4920, there isG2076 noneG3756 that seeketh afterG1567 GodG2316.
They areG1578 allG3956 gone out of the wayG1578, they areG889 togetherG260 become unprofitableG889; there isG2076 noneG3756 that doethG4160 goodG5544, no, notG3756 oneG2076+G2193+G1520.
TheirG846 throatG2995 is an openG455 sepulchreG5028; with theirG846 tonguesG1100 they have used deceitG1387; the poisonG2447 of aspsG785 is underG5259 theirG846 lipsG5491:
WhoseG3739 mouthG4750 is fullG1073 of cursingG685 andG2532 bitternessG4088:
TheirG846 feetG4228 are swiftG3691 to shedG1632 bloodG129:
DestructionG4938 andG2532 miseryG5004 are inG1722 theirG846 waysG3598:
AndG2532 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515 haveG1097 they notG3756 knownG1097:
There isG2076 noG3756 fearG5401 of GodG2316 beforeG561 theirG846 eyesG3788.
NowG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 what things soeverG3745 the lawG3551 saithG3004, it saithG2980 to them who are underG1722 the lawG3551: thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be stoppedG5420, andG2532 allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 guiltyG5267 before GodG2316. {guilty…: or, subject to the judgment of God}
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
