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.

For, lo, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, saithH559 the LORDH3068: and I will cause them to returnH7725 to the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and they shall possessH3423 it.
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.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 togetherH3162, goingH1980 and weepingH1058: they shall goH3212, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 and which ledH935 the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 out of the northH6828 countryH776, and from all countriesH776 whither I had drivenH5080 them; and they shall dwellH3427 in their own landH127.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the iniquityH5771 of IsraelH3478 shall be sought forH1245, and there shall be none; and the sinsH2403 of JudahH3063, and they shall not be foundH4672: for I will pardonH5545 them whom I reserveH7604.
Behold, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thither.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Moreover, thou sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee oneH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JudahH3063, and for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270: then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669, and for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270:
And joinH7126 them oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086; and they shall become oneH259 in thine handH3027.
And when the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 shall speakH559 unto thee, sayingH559, Wilt thou not shewH5046 us what thou meanest by these?
SayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, which is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 his fellowsH2270, and will putH5414 them with him, even with the stickH6086 of JudahH3063, and makeH6213 them oneH259 stickH6086, and they shall be oneH259 in mine handH3027.
And the sticksH6086 whereon thou writestH3789 shall be in thine handH3027 before their eyesH5869.
And sayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the heathenH1471, whither they be goneH1980, and will gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439, and bringH935 them into their own landH127:
And I will makeH6213 them oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and oneH259 kingH4428 shall be kingH4428 to them all: and they shall beH5750 no more twoH8147 nationsH1471, neither shall they be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467 any more at all:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Now will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JacobH3290, and have mercyH7355 upon the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and will be jealousH7065 for my holyH6944 nameH8034;
After that they have borneH5375 their shameH3639, and all their trespassesH4604 whereby they have trespassedH4603 against me, when they dweltH3427 safelyH983 in their landH127, and none made them afraidH2729.
When I have brought them againH7725 from the peopleH5971, and gatheredH6908 them out of their enemies'H341 landsH776, and am sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471;
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which caused them to be led into captivityH1540 among the heathenH1471: but I have gatheredH3664 them unto their own landH127, and have leftH3498 none of them any more there. {which…: Heb. by my causing of them, etc}
Then shall the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and appointH7760 themselves oneH259 headH7218, and they shall come upH5927 out of the landH776: for greatH1419 shall be the dayH3117 of JezreelH3157.
EphraimH669 compassethH5437 me about with liesH3585, and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 with deceitH4820: but JudahH3063 yet rulethH7300 with GodH410, and is faithfulH539 with the saintsH6918. {saints: or, most holy}
And I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427 them; for I have mercyH7355 upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 them.
