They sayH559, If a manH376 put awayH7971 his wifeH802, and she goH1980 from him, and become anotherH312 man'sH376, shall he return unto her againH7725? shall not that landH776 be greatlyH2610 pollutedH2610? but thou hast played the harlotH2181 with manyH7227 loversH7453; yet return againH7725 to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {They say: Heb. Saying}
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200 whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693+H7901 with. In the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427 for them, as the ArabianH6163 in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610 the landH776 with thy whoredomsH2184 and with thy wickednessH7451.
Therefore the showersH7241 have been withholdenH4513, and there hath been no latter rainH4456; and thou hadst a whore'sH2181+H802 foreheadH4696, thou refusedstH3985 to be ashamedH3637.
Wilt thou not from this time cryH7121 unto me, My fatherH1, thou art the guideH441 of my youthH5271?
Will he reserveH5201 his anger for everH5769? will he keepH8104 it to the endH5331? Behold, thou hast spokenH1696 and doneH6213 evil thingsH7451 as thou couldestH3201.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200 that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213? she is gone upH1980 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.
And I saidH559 afterH310 she had doneH6213 all these things, TurnH7725 thou unto me. But she returnedH7725 not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. {lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663 herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898 JudahH3063.
GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769.
Only acknowledgeH3045 thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
TurnH7725, O backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; for I am marriedH1166 unto you: and I will takeH3947 you oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726:
And I will giveH5414 you pastorsH7462 according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multipliedH7235 and increasedH6509 in the landH776, in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, they shall sayH559 no more, The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068: neither shall it comeH5927 to mindH3820: neither shall they rememberH2142 it; neither shall they visitH6485 it; neither shall that be doneH6213 any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that…: or, it be magnified}
At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212 any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walkH3212 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I have given for an inheritanceH5157 unto your fathersH1. {with: or, to} {given…: or, caused your fathers to possess}
But I saidH559, How shall I putH7896 thee among the childrenH1121, and giveH5414 thee a pleasantH2532 landH776, a goodlyH6643 heritageH5159 of the hostsH6635 of nationsH1471? and I saidH559, Thou shalt callH7121 me, My fatherH1; and shalt not turn awayH7725 from meH310. {from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly…: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}
SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her husbandH7453, so have ye dealt treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {husband: Heb. friend}
A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
ReturnH7725, ye backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, and I will healH7495 your backslidingsH4878. Behold, we comeH857 unto thee; for thou art the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is salvation hoped for from the hillsH1389, and from the multitudeH1995 of mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478.
For shameH1322 hath devouredH398 the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323.
We lie downH7901 in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680 us: for we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.

And I will set upH6965 shepherdsH7462 over them which shall feedH7462 them: and they shall fearH3372 no more, nor be dismayedH2865, neither shall they be lackingH6485, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
The lipsH8193 of the righteousH6662 feedH7462 manyH7227: but foolsH191 dieH4191 for wantH2638 of wisdomH3820. {of wisdom: Heb. of heart}
But now thy kingdomH4467 shall not continueH6965: the LORDH3068 hath soughtH1245 him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 him to be captainH5057 over his peopleH5971, because thou hast not keptH8104 that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 thee.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 that faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whomG3739 his lordG2962 shall make rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 them their portion of meatG4620 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
And though the LordH136 giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862, and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, yet shall not thy teachersH3384 be removed into a cornerH3670 any more, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachersH3384: {affliction: or, oppression}
SoG3767 whenG3753 they had dinedG709, JesusG2424 saithG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165 more thanG4119 theseG5130? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 lambsG721.
And thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in itH3212, when ye turn to the right handH541, and when ye turn to the leftH8041.
He saithG3004 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovestG5368 thou meG3165? PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 he saidG2036 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, LovestG5368 thou meG3165? AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, thouG4771 knowestG1492 all thingsG3956; thouG4771 knowestG1097 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 sheepG4263.
And I will set upH6965 oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732; he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherdH7462.
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
And DavidH1732 my servantH5650 shall be kingH4428 over them; and they all shall have oneH259 shepherdH7462: they shall also walkH3212 in my judgmentsH4941, and observeH8104 my statutesH2708, and doH6213 them.
HowbeitG1161 we speakG2980 wisdomG4678 amongG1722 them that are perfectG5046: yetG1161 notG3756 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG165, norG3761 of the princesG758 of thisG5127 worldG165, that come to noughtG2673:
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. {feed or, rule}
NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120. {principal: Heb. princes of}
Which thingsG3739 alsoG2532 we speakG2980, notG3756 inG1722 the wordsG3056 which man'sG442 wisdomG4678 teachethG1318, butG235 which the HolyG40 GhostG4151 teachethG1722+G1318; comparingG4793 spiritual thingsG4152 with spiritualG4152.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, He that enterethG1525 notG3361 byG1223 the doorG2374 intoG1519 the sheepfoldG4263+G833, butG235 climbeth upG305 some other wayG237, the sameG1565 isG2076 a thiefG2812 andG2532 a robberG3027.
ButG1161 he that entereth inG1525 byG1223 the doorG2374 isG2076 the shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263.
To himG5129 the porterG2377 openethG455; andG2532 the sheepG4263 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456: andG2532 he callethG2564 his ownG2398 sheepG4263 byG2596 nameG3686, andG2532 leadethG1806 themG846 outG1806.
AndG2532 whenG3752 he putteth forthG1544 his ownG2398 sheepG4263, he goethG4198 beforeG1715 themG846, andG2532 the sheepG4263 followG190 himG846: forG3754 they knowG1492 hisG846 voiceG5456.
AndG1161 a strangerG245 will theyG190 notG3364 followG190, butG235 will fleeG5343 fromG575 himG846: forG3754 they knowG1492 notG3756 the voiceG5456 of strangersG245.
AndG2532 IG1473, brethrenG80, couldG1410 notG3756 speakG2980 unto youG5213 asG5613 unto spiritualG4152, butG235 asG5613 unto carnalG4559, even asG5613 unto babesG3516 inG1722 ChristG5547.
SoG3767 whenG3753 they had dinedG709, JesusG2424 saithG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165 more thanG4119 theseG5130? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 lambsG721.
He saithG3004 to himG846 againG3825 the second timeG1208, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovest thouG25 meG3165? He saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962; thouG4771 knowestG1492 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. He saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG4165 myG3450 sheepG4263.
He saithG3004 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, SimonG4613, son of JonasG2495, lovestG5368 thou meG3165? PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 he saidG2036 unto himG846 the thirdG5154 time, LovestG5368 thou meG3165? AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, thouG4771 knowestG1492 all thingsG3956; thouG4771 knowestG1097 thatG3754 I loveG5368 theeG4571. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, FeedG1006 myG3450 sheepG4263.
I have fedG4222 youG5209 with milkG1051, andG2532 notG3756 with meatG1033: forG1063 hithertoG3768 ye wereG1410 notG3768 ableG1410 to bear it, neitherG235+G3777 yetG2089 nowG3568 are ye ableG1410.
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG2532+G1063 when forG1223 the timeG5550 ye oughtG3784 to beG1511 teachersG1320, ye haveG2192 needG5532 that one teachG1321 youG5209 againG3825 whichG5101 be the firstG746 principlesG4747 of the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; andG2532 are become such asG1096 haveG2192 needG5532 of milkG1051, andG2532 notG3756 of strongG4731 meatG5160.
ForG1063 every oneG3956 that usethG3348 milkG1051 is unskilfulG552 in the wordG3056 of righteousnessG1343: forG1063 he isG2076 a babeG3516. {is unskillful: Gr. hath no experience}
ButG1161 strongG4731 meatG5160 belongeth to them that areG2076 of full ageG5046, even those who by reasonG1223 of useG1838 haveG2192 their sensesG145 exercisedG1128 toG4314 discernG1253 bothG5037 goodG2570 andG2532 evilG2556. {of full age: or, perfect} {use: or, an habit, or, perfection}
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
AsG5613 newbornG738 babesG1025, desireG1971 the sincereG97 milkG1051 of the wordG3050, thatG2443 ye may growG837 therebyG1722+G846:
The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
