CryH7121 aloudH1627, spareH2820 not, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and shewH5046 my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403. {aloud: Heb. with the throat}
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}
Is it not to dealH6536 thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200 the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 not thyself from thine own fleshH1320? {cast…: or, afflicted}
Then shall thy lightH216 break forthH1234 as the morningH7837, and thine healthH724 shall spring forthH6779 speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rerewardH622. {be…: Heb. gather thee up}
Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7768, and he shall sayH559, Here I am. If thou take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 vanityH205;
And if thou draw outH6329 thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflictedH6031 soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in obscurityH2822, and thy darknessH653 be as the noondayH6672:
And the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in droughtH6710, and make fatH2502 thy bonesH6106: and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whose watersH4325 failH3576 not. {drought: Heb. droughts} {fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive}
And they that shall be of thee shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 waste placesH2723: thou shalt raise upH6965 the foundationsH4146 of manyH1755 generationsH1755; and thou shalt be calledH7121, The repairerH1443 of the breachH6556, The restorerH7725 of pathsH5410 to dwell inH3427.
If thou turn awayH7725 thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, from doingH6213 thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117; and callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a delightH6027, the holyH6918 of the LORDH3068, honourableH3513; and shalt honourH3513 him, not doingH6213 thine own waysH1870, nor findingH4672 thine own pleasureH2656, nor speakingH1696 thine own wordsH1697:
Then shalt thou delightH6026 thyself in the LORDH3068; and I will cause thee to rideH7392 upon the high placesH1116 of the earthH776, and feedH398 thee with the heritageH5159 of JacobH3290 thy fatherH1: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.

His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
O ZionH6726, that bringest good tidingsH1319, get thee upH5927 into the highH1364 mountainH2022; O JerusalemH3389, that bringest good tidingsH1319, lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; lift it upH7311, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold your GodH430! {O Zion…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the greatH1419 trumpetH7782 shall be blownH8628, and they shall comeH935 which were ready to perishH6 in the landH776 of AssyriaH804, and the outcastsH5080 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and shall worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the holyH6944 mountH2022 at JerusalemH3389.
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will comeH935 with strongH2389 hand, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him. {with strong…: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}
Set the trumpetH7782 to thy mouthH2441. He shall come as an eagleH5404 against the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because they have transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285, and trespassedH6586 against my lawH8451. {thy: Heb. the roof of thy}
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
I wasG1096 inG1722 the SpiritG4151 onG1722 the Lord'sG2960 dayG2250, andG2532 heardG191 behindG3694 meG3450 a greatG3173 voiceG5456, asG5613 of a trumpetG4536,
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, SayH559 not, I am a childH5288: for thou shalt goH3212 to all that I shall sendH7971 thee, and whatsoever I commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696.
Be not afraidH3372 of their facesH6440: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310.
SeeH7200, I have this dayH3117 setH6485 thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to root outH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6, and to throw downH2040, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193.
AfterG3326 thisG5023 I lookedG1492, andG2532, beholdG2400, a doorG2374 was openedG455 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 the firstG4413 voiceG5456 whichG3739 I heardG191 was as it were ofG5613 a trumpetG4536 talkingG2980 withG3326 meG1700; which saidG3004, Come upG305 hitherG5602, andG2532 I will shewG1166 theeG4671 things whichG3739 mustG1163 beG1096 hereafterG3326+G5023.
Thou therefore gird upH247 thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, and speakH1696 unto them all that I commandH6680 thee: be not dismayedH2865 at their facesH6440, lest I confoundH2865 thee beforeH6440 them. {confound: or, break to pieces}
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And they shall fightH3898 against thee; but they shall not prevailH3201 against thee; for I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 thee.
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.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, If thou returnH7725, then will I bring thee againH7725, and thou shalt standH5975 beforeH6440 me: and if thou take forthH3318 the preciousH3368 from the vileH2151, thou shalt be as my mouthH6310: let them returnH7725 unto thee; but returnH7725 not thou unto them.
And I will makeH5414 thee unto this peopleH5971 a fencedH1219 brasenH5178 wallH2346: and they shall fightH3898 against thee, but they shall not prevailH3201 against thee: for I am with thee to saveH3467 thee and to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, I sendH7971 thee to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to a rebelliousH4775 nationH1471 that hath rebelledH4775 against me: they and their fathersH1 have transgressedH6586 against me, even unto this veryH6106 dayH3117. {nation: Heb. nations}
For they are impudentH7186+H6440 childrenH1121 and stiffheartedH2389+H3820. I do sendH7971 thee unto them; and thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069. {impudent: Heb. hard of face}
And they, whether they will hearH8085, or whether they will forbearH2308, (for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004,) yet shall knowH3045 that there hath been a prophetH5030 amongH8432 them.
And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, be not afraidH3372 of them, neither be afraidH3372 of their wordsH1697, though briersH5621 and thornsH5544 be with thee, and thou dost dwellH3427 among scorpionsH6137: be not afraidH3372 of their wordsH1697, nor be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. {briers…: or, rebels}
And thou shalt speakH1696 my wordsH1697 unto them, whether they will hearH8085, or whether they will forbearH2308: for they are most rebelliousH4805. {most…: Heb. rebellion}
But thou, sonH1121 of manH120, hearH8085 what I sayH1696 unto thee; Be notH1961 thou rebelliousH4805 like that rebelliousH4805 houseH1004: openH6475 thy mouthH6310, and eatH398 that I giveH5414 thee.
For thou art not sentH7971 to a peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, but to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of tongue}
Not to manyH7227 peopleH5971 of a strangeH6012 speechH8193 and of an hardH3515 languageH3956, whose wordsH1697 thou canst not understandH8085. Surely, had I sentH7971 thee to them, they would have hearkenedH8085 unto thee. {of a…: Heb. deep of lip, and heavy of language} {Surely…: or, If I had sent thee, etc. would they not have hearkened unto thee?}
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH2389+H4696 and hardheartedH7186+H3820. {impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
Behold, I have madeH5414 thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their facesH6440, and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheadsH4696.
As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414 thy foreheadH4696: fearH3372 them not, neither be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Yet if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563, and he turnH7725 not from his wickednessH7562, nor from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1: {Wilt…: or, Wilt thou plead for them}
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}
But trulyH199 I am fullH4390 of powerH3581 by the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and of judgmentH4941, and of mightH1369, to declareH5046 unto JacobH3290 his transgressionH6588, and to IsraelH3478 his sinH2403.
HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
They build upH1129 ZionH6726 with bloodH1818, and JerusalemH3389 with iniquityH5766. {blood: Heb. bloods}
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
WhereforeG1352 I takeG3143 youG5213 to recordG3143 thisG1722+G4594 dayG2250, thatG3754 IG1473 am pureG2513 fromG575 the bloodG129 of allG3956 men.
ForG1063 I haveG5288 notG3756+G3361 shunnedG5288 to declareG312 unto youG5213 allG3956 the counselG1012 of GodG2316.
These thingsG5023 speakG2980, andG2532 exhortG3870, andG2532 rebukeG1651 withG3326 allG3956 authorityG2003. LetG4065 no manG3367 despiseG4065 theeG4675.
AndG2532 the thirdG5154 angelG32 followedG190 themG846, sayingG3004 withG1722 a loudG3173 voiceG5456, If any manG1536 worshipG4352 the beastG2342 andG2532 hisG846 imageG1504, andG2532 receiveG2983 his markG5480 inG1909 hisG846 foreheadG3359, orG2228 inG1909 hisG846 handG5495,
The sameG846+G2532 shall drinkG4095 ofG1537 the wineG3631 of the wrathG2372 of GodG2316, whichG3588 is poured outG2767 without mixtureG194 intoG1722 the cupG4221 of hisG846 indignationG3709; andG2532 he shall be tormentedG928 withG1722 fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303 in the presenceG1799 of the holyG40 angelsG32, andG2532 in the presenceG1799 of the LambG721:
