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.

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.
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
For their vineH1612 is of the vineH1612 of SodomH5467, and of the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017: their grapesH6025 are grapesH6025 of gallH7219, their clustersH811 are bitterH4846: {of the vine: or, worse than the vine}
How thou didst drive outH3423 the heathenH1471 with thy handH3027, and plantedstH5193 them; how thou didst afflictH7489 the peopleH3816, and cast them outH7971.
SojournH1481 in this landH776, and I will be with thee, and will blessH1288 thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seedH2233, I will giveH5414 all theseH411 countriesH776, and I will performH6965 the oathH7621 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1;

BecauseH6118 that AbrahamH85 obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, and keptH8104 my chargeH4931, my commandmentsH4687, my statutesH2708, and my lawsH8451.

What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?

And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
