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.

O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they have not grievedH2342; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.
And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of KirjathjearimH7157, who prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892 and against this landH776 according to all the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414:
And when JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428, with all his mighty menH1368, and all the princesH8269, heardH8085 his wordsH1697, the kingH4428 soughtH1245 to put him to deathH4191: but when UrijahH223 heardH8085 it, he was afraidH3372, and fledH1272, and wentH935 into EgyptH4714;
And JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971 menH582 into EgyptH4714, namely, ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and certain menH582 with him into EgyptH4714.
And they fetched forthH3318 UrijahH223 out of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 him unto JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428; who slewH5221 him with the swordH2719, and castH7993 his dead bodyH5038 into the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. {common…: Heb. sons of the people}
Nevertheless the handH3027 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 was with JeremiahH3414, that they should not giveH5414 him into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 to put him to deathH4191.
The bellowsH4647 are burnedH2787, the leadH5777 is consumedH8552 of the fireH800+H784; the founderH6884 meltethH6884 in vainH7723: for the wickedH7451 are not plucked awayH5423.
And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
ReprobateH3988 silverH3701 shall men callH7121 them, because the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them. {Reprobate…: or, Refuse silver}
And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: because the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
But thou shalt sayH559 unto them, This is a nationH1471 that obeyethH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor receivethH3947 correctionH4148: truthH530 is perishedH6, and is cut offH3772 from their mouthH6310. {correction: or, instruction}
And they conspiredH7194 against him, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68 at the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 in the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
And in the timeH6256 of his distressH6887 did he trespassH4603 yet moreH3254 against the LORDH3068: this is that kingH4428 AhazH271.
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Why should ye be strickenH5221 any more? ye will revoltH5627 more and moreH3254: the whole headH7218 is sickH2483, and the whole heartH3824 faintH1742. {revolt…: Heb. increase revolt}
AndG2532 the husbandmenG1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739+G3303, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739.
For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725 not unto him that smitethH5221 them, neither do they seekH1875 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 unto themG846 likewiseG5615.
In thy filthinessH2932 is lewdnessH2154: because I have purgedH2891 thee, and thou wast not purgedH2891, thou shalt not be purgedH2891 from thy filthinessH2932 any more, till I have caused my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon thee.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! becauseG3754 ye buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 garnishG2885 the sepulchresG3419 of the righteousG1342,
She obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963; she receivedH3947 not correctionH4148; she trustedH982 not in the LORDH3068; she drew not nearH7126 to her GodH430. {correction: or, instruction}
WhereforeG1223+G5124, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 untoG4314 youG5209 prophetsG4396, andG2532 wise menG4680, andG2532 scribesG1122: andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 ye shall killG615 andG2532 crucifyG4717; andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 shall ye scourgeG3146 inG1722 yourG5216 synagoguesG4864, andG2532 persecuteG1377 them fromG575 cityG4172 toG1519 cityG4172:
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AllG3956 these thingsG5023 shall comeG2240 uponG1909 thisG5026 generationG1074.
O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, thou that killestG615 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 stonestG3036 them which are sentG649 untoG4314 theeG846, how oftenG4212 would IG2309 have gatheredG1996 thyG4675+G3739 childrenG5043 togetherG1996, even asG5158 a henG3733 gatherethG1996 herG1438 chickensG3556 underG5259 her wingsG4420, andG2532 ye wouldG2309 notG3756!
AndG2532 the restG3062 of the menG444 whichG3739 wereG615 notG3756 killedG615 byG1722 theseG5025 plaguesG4127 yetG3777 repentedG3340 notG3777 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of theirG846 handsG5495, thatG3363 they shouldG4352 notG3363 worshipG4352 devilsG1140, andG2532 idolsG1497 of goldG5552, andG2532 silverG693, andG2532 brassG5470, andG2532 stoneG3035, andG2532 of woodG3585: whichG3739 neitherG3777 canG1410 seeG991, norG3777 hearG191, norG3777 walkG4043:
AndG2532 at the seasonG2540 he sentG649 toG4314 the husbandmenG1092 a servantG1401, thatG2443 he might receiveG2983 fromG3844 the husbandmenG1092 ofG575 the fruitG2590 of the vineyardG290.
AndG1161 they caughtG2983 him, and beatG1194 himG846, andG2532 sent him awayG649 emptyG2756.
AndG2532 againG3825 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 anotherG243 servantG1401; and at himG2548 they cast stonesG3036, and wounded him in the headG2775, andG2532 sent him awayG649 shamefully handledG821.
AndG2532 againG3825 he sentG649 anotherG243; and himG2548 they killedG615, andG2532 manyG4183 othersG243+G3303; beating someG1194, andG1161 killing someG615.
HavingG2192 yetG2089 thereforeG3767 oneG1520 sonG5207, hisG846 wellbelovedG27, he sentG649 himG846 alsoG2532 lastG2078 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004+G3754, They will reverenceG1788 myG3450 sonG5207.
ButG1161 thoseG1565 husbandmenG1092 saidG2036 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, ThisG3754+G3778 isG2076 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 the inheritanceG2817 shall beG2071 oursG2257.
AndG2532 they tookG2983 himG846, and killedG615 him, andG2532 castG1544 him out ofG1854 the vineyardG290.
NeitherG2532+G3756 repented theyG3340 ofG1537 theirG846 murdersG5408, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 sorceriesG5331, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 fornicationG4202, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 theftsG2809.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213! forG3754 ye buildG3618 the sepulchresG3419 of the prophetsG4396, andG1161 yourG5216 fathersG3962 killedG615 themG846.
TrulyG686 ye bear witnessG3140 thatG2532 ye allowG4909 the deedsG2041 of yourG5216 fathersG3962: forG3754 theyG846 indeedG3303 killedG615 themG846, andG1161 yeG5210 buildG3618 theirG846 sepulchresG3419.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 alsoG2532 saidG2036 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316, I will sendG649+G1519 themG846 prophetsG4396 andG2532 apostlesG652, andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 they shall slayG615 andG2532 persecuteG1559:
ThatG2443 the bloodG129 of allG3956 the prophetsG4396, whichG3588 was shedG1632 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074;
FromG575 the bloodG129 of AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197, whichG3588 perishedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG2379 andG2532 the templeG3624: verilyG3483 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, It shall be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074.
AndG2532 menG444 were scorchedG2739 with greatG3173 heatG2738, andG2532 blasphemedG987 the nameG3686 of GodG2316, whichG3588 hathG2192 powerG1849 overG1909 theseG5025 plaguesG4127: andG2532 they repentedG3340 notG3756 to giveG1325 himG846 gloryG1391. {scorched: or, burned}
NeverthelessG4133 IG3165 mustG1163 walkG4198 to dayG4594, andG2532 to morrowG839, andG2532 the day followingG2192: forG3754 it cannot beG3756+G1735 that a prophetG4396 perishG622 out ofG1854 JerusalemG2419.
O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, whichG3588 killestG615 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 stonestG3036 them that are sentG649 untoG4314 theeG846; how oftenG4212 wouldG2309 I have gatheredG1996 thyG4675 childrenG5043 togetherG1996, asG3739+G5158 a henG3733 doth gather herG1438 broodG3555 underG5259 her wingsG4420, andG2532 ye wouldG2309 notG3756!
