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.

Now, behold, thou trustestH982 upon the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto all that trustH982 on him. {trustest: Heb. trustest thee}
DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee.
So they cameH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714: for they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: thus cameH935 they even to TahpanhesH8471.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414 in TahpanhesH8471, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 greatH1419 stonesH68 in thine handH3027, and hideH2934 them in the clayH4423 in the brickkilnH4404, which is at the entryH6607 of Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004 in TahpanhesH8471, in the sightH5869 of the menH582 of JudahH3064;
And of GadH1410 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be he that enlargethH7337 GadH1410: he dwellethH7931 as a lionH3833, and tearethH2963 the armH2220 withH637 the crown of the headH6936.
And PharaohnechohH6549 put him in bandsH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and putH5414 the landH776 to a tributeH6066 of an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. {that…: or, because he reigned} {put the…: Heb. set a fine upon the land}
O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213 thyself to go into captivityH3627+H1473: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 without an inhabitantH3427. {furnish…: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 concerning all the JewsH3064 which dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, which dwellH3427 at MigdolH4024, and at TahpanhesH8471, and at NophH5297, and in the countryH776 of PathrosH6624, sayingH559,
From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even unto the headH7218 there is no soundnessH4974 in it; but woundsH6482, and bruisesH2250, and putrifyingH2961 soresH4347: they have not been closedH2115, neither bound upH2280, neither mollifiedH7401 with ointmentH8081. {ointment: or, oil}
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781.
The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from whence come the youngH3833 and old lionH3918, the viperH660 and fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young assesH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunchesH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them.
The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the stayH6438 of the tribesH7626 thereof. {they that…: or, governors: Heb. corners}
DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee.
Your countryH776 is desolateH8077, your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fireH784: your landH127, strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presence, and it is desolateH8077, as overthrownH4114 by strangersH2114. {overthrown…: Heb. the overthrow of}
WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172 on horsesH5483, and trustH982 in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105; but they lookH8159 not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875 the LORDH3068!
Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935 evilH7451, and will not call backH5493 his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489, and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466 iniquityH205. {call…: Heb. remove}
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186 his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826 shall fallH3782, and he that is holpenH5826 shall fall downH5307, and they all shall failH3615 togetherH3162.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also destroyH6 the idolsH1544, and I will cause their imagesH457 to ceaseH7673 out of NophH5297; and there shall be no more a princeH5387 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: and I will putH5414 a fearH3374 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And he shall passH2498 through JudahH3063; he shall overflowH7857 and go overH5674, he shall reachH5060 even to the neckH6677; and the stretching outH4298 of his wingsH3671 shall fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of thy landH776, O ImmanuelH6005+H410. {stretching…: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}
