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.

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}
And saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplicationH8467 be acceptedH5307 beforeH6440 thee, and prayH6419 for us unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, even for all this remnantH7611; (for we are leftH7604 but a fewH4592 of manyH7235, as thine eyesH5869 do beholdH7200 us:) {Let…: or, Let our supplication fall before thee}
Wherefore the LordH136 saidH559, ForasmuchH3282 as this peopleH5971 draw nearH5066 me with their mouthH6310, and with their lipsH8193 do honourH3513 me, but have removedH7368 their heartH3820 farH7368 from me, and their fearH3374 toward me is taughtH3925 by the preceptH4687 of menH582:
For ye dissembledH8582 in your heartsH5315, when ye sentH7971 me unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, sayingH559, PrayH6419 for us unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430; and according unto all that the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall sayH559, so declareH5046 unto us, and we will doH6213 it. {ye dissembled…: or, ye have used deceit against your souls}
HearH8085 ye this, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, which are calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478, and are come forthH3318 out of the watersH4325 of JudahH3063, which swearH7650 by the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and make mentionH2142 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, but not in truthH571, nor in righteousnessH6666.
AndG1161 when they were comeG2064, they sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, we knowG1492 thatG3754 thou artG1488 trueG227, andG2532+G4671 carestG3756+G3199 forG4012 no manG3762: forG1063 thou regardestG991 notG3756 the personG1519+G4383 of menG444, butG235 teachestG1321 the wayG3598 of GodG2316 inG1909 truthG225: Is it lawfulG1832 to giveG1325 tributeG2778 to CaesarG2541, orG2228 notG3756?
For they callH7121 themselves of the holyH6944 cityH5892, and stayH5564 themselves upon the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
WhereforeG1352 lay apartG659 allG3956 filthinessG4507 andG2532 superfluityG4050 of naughtinessG2549, and receiveG1209 withG1722 meeknessG4240 the engraftedG1721 wordG3056, whichG3588 is ableG1410 to saveG4982 yourG5216 soulsG5590.
And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of your wordsH1697, when ye spakeH1696 unto me; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, I have heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697 of this peopleH5971, which they have spokenH1696 unto thee: they have wellH3190 said all that they have spokenH1696.
ButG1161 be yeG1096 doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438.
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!
WhereforeG3767 laying asideG659 allG3956 maliceG2549, andG2532 allG3956 guileG1388, andG2532 hypocrisiesG5272, andG2532 enviesG5355, andG2532 allG3956 evil speakingsG2636,
But the peopleH5971 tookH3947 of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the chiefH7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyedH2764, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in GilgalH1537.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath the LORDH3068 as great delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068? Behold, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearkenH7181 than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressedH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and thy wordsH1697: because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963.
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
The sacrificeH2077 of the wickedH7563 is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but the prayerH8605 of the uprightH3477 is his delightH7522.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 still are talkingH1696 againstH681 thee by the wallsH7023 and in the doorsH6607 of the housesH1004, and speakH1696 oneH2297 to anotherH259, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, sayingH559, ComeH935, I pray you, and hearH8085 what is the wordH1697 that cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068. {against thee: of, of thee}
And they comeH935 unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213 them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213 much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980 afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. {as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit…: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovelyH5690 songH7892 of one that hath a pleasantH3303 voiceH6963, and can play wellH2895 on an instrumentH5059: for they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they doH6213 them not. {a very…: Heb. a song of loves}
And when this cometh to passH935, (lo, it will comeH935,) then shall they knowH3045 that a prophetH5030 hath been amongH8432 them.
Ye hypocritesG5273, wellG2573 didG4395 EsaiasG2268 prophesyG4395 ofG4012 youG5216, sayingG3004,
ThisG3778 peopleG2992 draweth nighG1448 unto meG3427 with theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 honourethG5091 meG3165 with their lipsG5491; butG1161 theirG846 heartG2588 isG568 farG4206 fromG575 meG1700.
ButG1161 in vainG3155 they do worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.
AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1526 likewiseG3668 which are sownG4687 onG1909 stony groundG4075; whoG3739, whenG3752 they have heardG191 the wordG3056, immediatelyG2112 receiveG2983 itG846 withG3326 gladnessG5479;
AndG2532 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 themselvesG1438, andG235 so endureG1526 but for a timeG4340: afterwardG1534, when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 forG1223 the word's sakeG3056, immediatelyG2112 they are offendedG4624. {offended: or, stumbled, or, caused to fall into sin}
ForG1063 HerodG2264 fearedG5399 JohnG2491, knowingG1492 that heG846 was a justG1342 manG435 andG2532 an holyG40, andG2532 observedG4933 himG846; andG2532 when he heardG191 himG846, he didG4160 many thingsG4183, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234. {observed him: or, kept him, or, saved him}
HeG1565 wasG2258 a burningG2545 andG2532 a shiningG5316 lightG3088: andG1161 yeG5210 were willingG2309 forG4314 a seasonG5610 to rejoiceG21 inG1722 hisG846 lightG5457.
They professG3670 that they knowG1492 GodG2316; butG1161 in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG5607 abominableG947, andG2532 disobedientG545, andG2532 untoG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobateG96. {reprobate: or, void of judgment}
ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461, andG5037 have tastedG1089 of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096 partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
AndG2532 have tastedG1089 the goodG2570 wordG4487 of GodG2316, andG5037 the powersG1411 of the worldG165 to comeG3195,
IfG2532 they shall fall awayG3895, to renew themG340 againG3825 untoG1519 repentanceG3341; seeing they crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 afreshG388, andG2532 put him to an open shameG3856.
