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.

And GodH430 metH7136 BalaamH1109: and he saidH559 unto him, I have preparedH6186 sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and I have offeredH5927 upon every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352.
And this shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto you: that in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, and doH6213 no workH4399 at all, whether it be one of your own countryH249, or a strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 you:
In those daysH3117 I DanielH1840 was mourningH56 threeH7969 fullH3117 weeksH7620. {full…: Heb. weeks of days}
Then I consultedH4427 with myselfH3820, and I rebukedH7378 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exactH5378+H5383+H5375 usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them. {I consulted…: Heb. my heart consulted in me}
I was wrothH7107 with my peopleH5971, I have pollutedH2490 mine inheritanceH5159, and givenH5414 them into thine handH3027: thou didst shewH7760 them no mercyH7356; upon the ancientH2205 hast thou veryH3966 heavilyH3513 laid thy yokeH5923.
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}
It shall be a sabbathH7676 of restH7677 unto you, and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, by a statuteH2708 for everH5769.
I ateH398 no pleasantH2532 breadH3899, neither cameH935 fleshH1320 nor wineH3196 in my mouthH6310, neither did I anointH5480 myself at allH5480, till threeH7969 wholeH3117 weeksH7620 were fulfilledH4390. {pleasant…: Heb. bread of desires}
He that turneth awayH5493 his earH241 from hearingH8085 the lawH8451, even his prayerH8605 shall be abominationH8441.
And it came to pass in processH1992+H7227 of timeH3117, that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 diedH4191: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sighedH584 by reason ofH4480 the bondageH5656, and they criedH2199, and their cryH7775 came upH5927 unto GodH430 by reason of the bondageH5656.
SpeakH559 unto all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventhH7637 month, even those seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH6684 fastH6684 unto me, even to me?
And when ye did eatH398, and when ye did drinkH8354, did not ye eatH398 for yourselves, and drinkH8354 for yourselves? {did not ye: or, be not ye they that}
Should ye not hear the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperityH7961, and the citiesH5892 thereof round about herH5439, when men inhabitedH3427 the southH5045 and the plainH8219? {Should…: or, Are not these the words} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
AlsoH389 on the tenthH6218 day of this seventhH7637 monthH2320 there shall be a dayH3117 of atonementH3725: it shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744 unto you; and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, and offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
For wordH1697 cameH5060 unto the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, and he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, and he laidH5674 his robeH155 from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackclothH8242, and satH3427 in ashesH665.
And he caused it to be proclaimedH2199 and publishedH559 through NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his noblesH1419, sayingH559, Let neither manH120 nor beastH929, herdH1241 nor flockH6629, tasteH2938 any thingH3972: let them not feedH7462, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: {published: Heb. said} {nobles: Heb. great men}
But let manH120 and beastH929 be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, and cryH7121 mightilyH2394 unto GodH430: yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the violenceH2555 that is in their handsH3709.
That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251.
Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, which had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every oneH376 his maidservantH8198, goH7971 freeH2670, that none should serveH5647 themselves of them any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971.
But afterwardH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaidsH8198, whom they had let goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533+H3533 for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, sayingH559,
At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 let ye goH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, which hath been soldH4376 unto thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not unto me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241. {hath been…: or, hath sold himself}
And ye were nowH3117 turnedH7725, and had doneH6213 rightH3477 in my sightH5869, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453; and ye had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 me in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: {now: Heb. to day} {which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
But ye turnedH7725 and pollutedH2490 my nameH8034, and caused every manH376 his servantH5650, and every manH376 his handmaidH8198, whom ye had setH7971 at libertyH2670 at their pleasureH5315, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533, to be unto you for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, and every manH376 to his neighbourH7453: behold, I proclaimH7121 a libertyH1865 for you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to the swordH2719, to the pestilenceH1698, and to the famineH7458; and I will makeH5414 you to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {to be…: Heb. for a removing}
And GodH430 heardH8085 their groaningH5009, and GodH430 rememberedH2142 his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, with IsaacH3327, and with JacobH3290.
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
ButG1161 the sameG1565 servantG1401 went outG1831, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of hisG846 fellowservantsG4889, whichG3739 owedG3784 himG846 an hundredG1540 penceG1220: andG2532 he laid handsG2902 on himG846, and took him by the throatG4155, sayingG3004, PayG591 meG3427 thatG3748 thou owestG3784. {pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
AndG3767 hisG846 fellowservantG4889 fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956.
AndG1161 he wouldG2309 notG3756: butG235 wentG565 and castG906 himG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 the debtG3784.
SoG1161 when hisG846 fellowservantsG4889 sawG1492 what was doneG1096, they were veryG4970 sorryG3076, andG2532 cameG2064 and toldG1285 unto theirG846 lordG2962 allG3956 that was doneG1096.
ThenG5119 hisG846 lordG2962, after that he had calledG4341 himG846, saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 theeG4671 allG3956 thatG1565 debtG3782, becauseG1893 thou desiredstG3870 meG3165:
ShouldestG1163 notG3756 thouG4571 alsoG2532 have had compassionG1653 on thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, evenG2532 asG5613 IG1473 had pityG1653 on theeG4571?
AndG2532 hisG846 lordG2962 was wrothG3710, and deliveredG3860 himG846 to the tormentorsG930, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 allG3956 that was dueG3784 unto himG846.
SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 unto youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.
AndG1161 when they had receivedG2983 it, they murmuredG1111 againstG2596 the goodman of the houseG3617,
SayingG3004, TheseG3778 lastG2078 have wroughtG4160 but oneG3391 hourG5610, andG2532 thou hast madeG4160 themG846 equalG2470 unto usG2254, whichG3588 have borneG941 the burdenG922 andG2532 heatG2742 of the dayG2250. {have wrought…: or, have continued one hour only}
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG2036 to his fatherG3962, LoG2400, these manyG5118 yearsG2094 do I serveG1398 theeG4671, neitherG3763 transgressed IG3928 at any timeG3763 thyG4675 commandmentG1785: andG2532 yetG2532 thouG1325 neverG3763 gavestG1325 meG1698 a kidG2056, thatG2443 I might make merryG2165 withG3326 myG3450 friendsG5384:
AndG1161 he spakeG2036+G2532 thisG5026 parableG3850 untoG4314 certainG5100 whichG3588 trustedG3982 inG1909 themselvesG1438 thatG3754 they wereG1526 righteousG1342, andG2532 despisedG1848 othersG3062: {that…: or, as being righteous}
TwoG1417 menG444 went upG305 intoG1519 the templeG2411 to prayG4336; the oneG1520 a PhariseeG5330, andG2532 the otherG2087 a publicanG5057.
The PhariseeG5330 stoodG2476 and prayedG4336 thusG5023 withG4314 himselfG1438, GodG2316, I thankG2168 theeG4671, thatG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 asG5618 otherG3062 menG444 are, extortionersG727, unjustG94, adulterersG3432, orG2228 evenG2532 asG5613 thisG3778 publicanG5057.
I fastG3522 twiceG1364 in the weekG4521, I give tithesG586 of allG3956 thatG3745 I possessG2932.
