Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and cryH7121 in the earsH241 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I rememberH2142 thee, the kindnessH2617 of thy youthH5271, the loveH160 of thine espousalsH3623, when thou wentestH3212 afterH310 me in the wildernessH4057, in a landH776 that was not sownH2232. {thee: or, for thy sake}
IsraelH3478 was holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068, and the firstfruitsH7225 of his increaseH8393: all that devourH398 him shall offendH816; evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, What iniquityH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1891?
Neither saidH559 they, Where is the LORDH3068 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ledH3212 us through the wildernessH4057, through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, through a landH776 of droughtH6723, and of the shadow of deathH6757, through a landH776 that no manH376 passed throughH5674, and where no manH120 dweltH3427?
And I broughtH935 you into a plentifulH3759 countryH776, to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodnessH2898 thereof; but when ye enteredH935, ye defiledH2930 my landH776, and madeH7760 mine heritageH5159 an abominationH8441. {a plentiful…: or, the land of Carmel}
The priestsH3548 saidH559 not, Where is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 me not: the pastorsH7462 also transgressedH6586 against me, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do not profitH3276.
Wherefore I will yet pleadH7378 with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and with your children'sH1121 childrenH1121 will I pleadH7378.
For pass overH5674 the islesH339 of ChittimH3794, and seeH7200; and sendH7971 unto KedarH6938, and considerH995 diligentlyH3966, and seeH7200 if there be such a thing. {over: or, over to}
Hath a nationH1471 changedH3235 their godsH430, which are yet no godsH430? but my peopleH5971 have changedH4171 their gloryH3519 for that which doth not profitH3276.
Be astonishedH8074, O ye heavensH8064, at this, and be horribly afraidH8175, be ye veryH3966 desolateH2717, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For my peopleH5971 have committedH6213 twoH8147 evilsH7451; they have forsakenH5800 me the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and hewed them outH2672 cisternsH877, brokenH7665 cisternsH877, that can holdH3557 no waterH4325.
Is IsraelH3478 a servantH5650? is he a homebornH1004+H3211 slave? whyH4069 is he spoiledH957? {spoiled: Heb. become a spoil?}
The young lionsH3715 roaredH7580 upon him, and yelledH5414+H6963, and they madeH7896 his landH776 wasteH8047: his citiesH5892 are burnedH3341 without inhabitantH3427. {yelled: Heb. gave out their voice}
Also the childrenH1121 of NophH5297 and TahapanesH8471 have brokenH7462 the crown of thy headH6936. {have…: or, feed on thy crown}
Hast thou not procuredH6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whenH6256 he ledH3212 thee by the wayH1870?
And now what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of EgyptH4714, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of SihorH7883? or what hast thou to do in the wayH1870 of AssyriaH804, to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the riverH5104?
Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
For of old timeH5769 I have brokenH7665 thy yokeH5923, and burstH5423 thy bandsH4147; and thou saidstH559, I will not transgressH5674+H5647; when upon every highH1364 hillH1389 and under every greenH7488 treeH6086 thou wanderestH6808, playing the harlotH2181. {transgress: or, serve}
Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH8321, wholly a rightH571 seedH2233: how then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate plantH5494 of a strangeH5237 vineH1612 unto me?
For though thou washH3526 thee with nitreH5427, and take thee muchH7235 soapH1287, yet thine iniquityH5771 is markedH3799 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
How canst thou sayH559, I am not pollutedH2930, I have not goneH1980 afterH310 BaalimH1168? seeH7200 thy wayH1870 in the valleyH1516, knowH3045 what thou hast doneH6213: thou art a swiftH7031 dromedaryH1072 traversingH8308 her waysH1870; {thou art…: or, O swift dromedary}
A wild assH6501 usedH3928 to the wildernessH4057, that snuffeth upH7602 the windH7307 at her pleasureH185+H5315; in her occasionH8385 who can turn her awayH7725? all they that seekH1245 her will not wearyH3286 themselves; in her monthH2320 they shall findH4672 her. {A wild…: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn…: or, reverse it?}
WithholdH4513 thy footH7272 from being unshodH3182, and thy throatH1627 from thirstH6773: but thou saidstH559, There is no hopeH2976: no; for I have lovedH157 strangersH2114, and afterH310 them will I goH3212. {There…: or, Is the case desperate?}
As the thiefH1590 is ashamedH1322 when he is foundH4672, so is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 ashamedH3001; they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, and their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030,
SayingH559 to a stockH6086, Thou art my fatherH1; and to a stoneH68, Thou hast brought me forthH3205: for they have turnedH6437 their backH6203 unto me, and not their faceH6440: but in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451 they will sayH559, AriseH6965, and saveH3467 us. {brought…: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
But where are thy godsH430 that thou hast madeH6213 thee? let them ariseH6965, if they can saveH3467 thee in the timeH6256 of thy troubleH7451: for according to the numberH4557 of thy citiesH5892 are thy godsH430, O JudahH3063. {trouble: Heb. evil}
Wherefore will ye pleadH7378 with me? ye all have transgressedH6586 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
In vainH7723 have I smittenH5221 your childrenH1121; they receivedH3947 no correctionH4148: your own swordH2719 hath devouredH398 your prophetsH5030, like a destroyingH7843 lionH738.
O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
Can a maidH1330 forgetH7911 her ornamentsH5716, or a brideH3618 her attireH7196? yet my peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 me daysH3117 without numberH4557.
Why trimmestH3190 thou thy wayH1870 to seekH1245 loveH160? therefore hast thou also taughtH3925 the wicked onesH7451 thy waysH1870.
Also in thy skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the soulsH5315 of the poorH34 innocentsH5355: I have not foundH4672 it by secret searchH4290, but upon all these. {secret…: Heb. digging}
Yet thou sayestH559, Because I am innocentH5352, surely his angerH639 shall turnH7725 from me. Behold, I will pleadH8199 with thee, because thou sayestH559, I have not sinnedH2398.
Why gaddest thou aboutH235 so muchH3966 to changeH8138 thy wayH1870? thou also shalt be ashamedH954 of EgyptH4714, as thou wast ashamedH954 of AssyriaH804.
Yea, thou shalt go forthH3318 from him, and thine handsH3027 upon thine headH7218: for the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thy confidencesH4009, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in them.

StandH5975 in the gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and proclaimH7121 there this wordH1697, and sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all ye of JudahH3063, that enter inH935 at these gatesH8179 to worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.
And IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that greatH1419 workH3027 which the LORDH3068 didH6213 upon the EgyptiansH4714: and the peopleH5971 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068, and believedH539 the LORDH3068, and his servantH5650 MosesH4872. {work: Heb. hand}
And MosesH4872 cameH935 and toldH5608 the peopleH5971 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and all the judgmentsH4941: and all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 with oneH259 voiceH6963, and saidH559, All the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 will we doH6213.
And MosesH4872 wroteH3789 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and buildedH1129 an altarH4196 under the hillH2022, and twelve pillarsH4676, according to the twelveH8147+H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
And he sentH7971 young menH5288 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and sacrificedH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 of oxenH6499 unto the LORDH3068.
And MosesH4872 tookH3947 halfH2677 of the bloodH1818, and putH7760 it in basonsH101; and halfH2677 of the bloodH1818 he sprinkledH2236 on the altarH4196.
And he tookH3947 the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285, and readH7121 in the audienceH241 of the peopleH5971: and they saidH559, All that the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 will we doH6213, and be obedientH8085.
And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bloodH1818, and sprinkledH2236 it on the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Behold the bloodH1818 of the covenantH1285, which the LORDH3068 hath madeH3772 with you concerning all these wordsH1697.
Neither saidH559 they, Where is the LORDH3068 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ledH3212 us through the wildernessH4057, through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, through a landH776 of droughtH6723, and of the shadow of deathH6757, through a landH776 that no manH376 passed throughH5674, and where no manH120 dweltH3427?
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, ProclaimH7121 all these wordsH1697 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them.
Then sangH7891 MosesH4872 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 this songH7892 unto the LORDH3068, and spakeH559, sayingH559, I will singH7891 unto the LORDH3068, for he hath triumphedH1342 gloriouslyH1342: the horseH5483 and his riderH7392 hath he thrownH7411 into the seaH3220.
The LORDH3050 is my strengthH5797 and songH2176, and he is become my salvationH3444: heH2088 is my GodH410, and I will prepare him an habitationH5115; my father'sH1 GodH430, and I will exaltH7311 him.
The LORDH3068 is a manH376 of warH4421: the LORDH3068 is his nameH8034.
Pharaoh'sH6547 chariotsH4818 and his hostH2428 hath he castH3384 into the seaH3220: his chosenH4005 captainsH7991 also are drownedH2883 in the RedH5488 seaH3220.
The depthsH8415 have coveredH3680 them: they sankH3381 into the bottomH4688 asH3644 a stoneH68.
Thy right handH3225, O LORDH3068, is become gloriousH142 in powerH3581: thy right handH3225, O LORDH3068, hath dashed in piecesH7492 the enemyH341.
And in the greatnessH7230 of thine excellencyH1347 thou hast overthrownH2040 them that rose up againstH6965 thee: thou sentest forthH7971 thy wrathH2740, which consumedH398 them as stubbleH7179.
And with the blastH7307 of thy nostrilsH639 the watersH4325 were gathered togetherH6192, the floodsH5140 stood uprightH5324 as an heapH5067, and the depthsH8415 were congealedH7087 in the heartH3820 of the seaH3220.
The enemyH341 saidH559, I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will divideH2505 the spoilH7998; my lustH5315 shall be satisfiedH4390 upon them; I will drawH7324 my swordH2719, my handH3027 shall destroyH3423 them. {destroy: or, repossess}
Thou didst blowH5398 with thy windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them: they sankH6749 as leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.
Who is like unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the godsH410? who is like thee, gloriousH142 in holinessH6944, fearfulH3372 in praisesH8416, doingH6213 wondersH6382? {gods: or, mighty ones?}
Thou stretchedst outH5186 thy right handH3225, the earthH776 swallowedH1104 them.
Thou in thy mercyH2617 hast led forthH5148 the peopleH5971 whichH2098 thou hast redeemedH1350: thou hast guidedH5095 them in thy strengthH5797 unto thy holyH6944 habitationH5116.
The peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and be afraidH7264: sorrowH2427 shall take holdH270 on the inhabitantsH3427 of PalestinaH6429.
ThenH227 the dukesH441 of EdomH123 shall be amazedH926; the mighty menH352 of MoabH4124, tremblingH7461 shall take holdH270 upon them; all the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 shall melt awayH4127.
FearH367 and dreadH6343 shall fallH5307 upon them; by the greatnessH1419 of thine armH2220 they shall be as stillH1826 as a stoneH68; till thy peopleH5971 pass overH5674, O LORDH3068, till the peopleH5971 pass overH5674, whichH2098 thou hast purchasedH7069.
Thou shalt bringH935 them in, and plantH5193 them in the mountainH2022 of thine inheritanceH5159, in the placeH4349, O LORDH3068, which thou hast madeH6466 for thee to dwell inH3427, in the SanctuaryH4720, O LordH136, which thy handsH3027 have establishedH3559.
The LORDH3068 shall reignH4427 for everH5769 and everH5703.
For the horseH5483 of PharaohH6547 went inH935 with his chariotsH7393 and with his horsemenH6571 into the seaH3220, and the LORDH3068 brought againH7725 the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 upon them; but the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH1980 on dryH3004 land in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220.
And MiriamH4813 the prophetessH5031, the sisterH269 of AaronH175, tookH3947 a timbrelH8596 in her handH3027; and all the womenH802 went outH3318 afterH310 her with timbrelsH8596 and with dancesH4246.
Go forthH3318, O ye daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and beholdH7200 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 with the crownH5850 wherewith his motherH517 crownedH5849 him in the dayH3117 of his espousalsH2861, and in the dayH3117 of the gladnessH8057 of his heartH3820.
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee in all the worksH4639 of thy handH3027: he knowethH3045 thy walkingH3212 through this greatH1419 wildernessH4057: these fortyH705 yearsH8141 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath been with thee; thou hast lackedH2637 nothingH1697.
And go forthH3318 unto the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, which is by the entryH6607 of the eastH2777 gateH8179, and proclaimH7121 there the wordsH1697 that I shall tellH1696 thee, {the east…: Heb. the sun gate}
Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, This shall be, when the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 you in the eveningH6153 fleshH1320 to eatH398, and in the morningH1242 breadH3899 to the fullH7646; for that the LORDH3068 hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 which ye murmurH3885 against him: and what are weH5168? your murmuringsH8519 are not against us, but against the LORDH3068.
And thou shalt rememberH2142 all the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 ledH3212 thee these fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, to humbleH6031 thee, and to proveH5254 thee, to knowH3045 what was in thine heartH3824, whether thou wouldest keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, or no.
WisdomH2454 criethH7442 withoutH2351; she utterethH5414 her voiceH6963 in the streetsH7339: {Wisdom: Heb. Wisdoms, that is, Excellent wisdom}
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
Who ledH3212 thee through that greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057, wherein were fieryH8314 serpentsH5175, and scorpionsH6137, and droughtH6774, where there was no waterH4325; who brought thee forthH3318 waterH4325 out of the rockH6697 of flintH2496;
Doth not wisdomH2451 cryH7121? and understandingH8394 put forthH5414 her voiceH6963?
She standethH5324 in the topH7218 of high placesH4791, by the wayH1870 in the placesH1004 of the pathsH5410.
She criethH7442 atH3027 the gatesH8179, at the entryH6310 of the cityH7176, at the comingH3996 in at the doorsH6607.
Unto you, O menH376, I callH7121; and my voiceH6963 is to the sonsH1121 of manH120.
Nevertheless I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with thee in the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, and I will establishH6965 unto thee an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Who fedH398 thee in the wildernessH4057 with mannaH4478, which thy fathersH1 knewH3045 not, that he might humbleH6031 thee, and that he might proveH5254 thee, to do thee goodH3190 at thy latter endH319;
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}
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
Moreover thou leddestH5148 them in the dayH3119 by a cloudyH6051 pillarH5982; and in the nightH3915 by a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou camest downH3381 also upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and spakestH1696 with them from heavenH8064, and gavestH5414 them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941, and trueH571 lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687: {true…: Heb. laws of truth}
And madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedstH6680 them preceptsH4687, statutesH2706, and lawsH8451, by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650:
And gavestH5414 them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and promisedstH559 them that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst swornH3027+H5375 to giveH5414 them. {which…: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
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}
Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
I will mentionH2142 the lovingkindnessesH2617 of the LORDH3068, and the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, according to all that the LORDH3068 hath bestowedH1580 on us, and the greatH7227 goodnessH2898 toward the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, which he hath bestowedH1580 on them according to his merciesH7356, and according to the multitudeH7230 of his lovingkindnessesH2617.
For he saidH559, Surely they are my peopleH5971, childrenH1121 that will not lieH8266: so he was their SaviourH3467.
In all their afflictionH6869 he was afflictedH6862, and the angelH4397 of his presenceH6440 savedH3467 them: in his loveH160 and in his pityH2551 he redeemedH1350 them; and he bareH5190 them, and carriedH5375 them all the daysH3117 of oldH5769.
But they rebelledH4784, and vexedH6087 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307: therefore he was turnedH2015 to be their enemyH341, and he foughtH3898 against them.
Then he rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, MosesH4872, and his peopleH5971, saying, Where is he that brought them upH5927 out of the seaH3220 with the shepherdH7462 of his flockH6629? where is he that putH7760 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307 withinH7130 him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}
That ledH3212 them by the right handH3225 of MosesH4872 with his gloriousH8597 armH2220, dividingH1234 the waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, to makeH6213 himself an everlastingH5769 nameH8034?
That ledH3212 them through the deepH8415, as an horseH5483 in the wildernessH4057, that they should not stumbleH3782?
As a beastH929 goeth downH3381 into the valleyH1237, the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 caused him to restH5117: so didst thou leadH5090 thy peopleH5971, to makeH6213 thyself a gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
AriseH6965, goH3212 to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cryH7121 against it; for their wickednessH7451 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 me.
Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
