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.

Why criestH2199 thou for thine afflictionH7667? thy sorrowH4341 is incurableH605 for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771: because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105, I have doneH6213 these things unto thee.
Therefore all they that devourH398 thee shall be devouredH398; and all thine adversariesH6862, every one of them, shall goH3212 into captivityH7628; and they that spoilH7601+H8154 thee shall be a spoilH4933, and all that preyH962 upon thee will I giveH5414 for a preyH957.
For I will restoreH5927 healthH724 unto thee, and I will healH7495 thee of thy woundsH4347, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because they calledH7121 thee an OutcastH5080, saying, This is ZionH6726, whom no man seeketh afterH1875.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherefore hast thou smittenH5221 thine assH860 these threeH7969 timesH7272? behold, I went outH3318 to withstandH7854 thee, because thy wayH1870 is perverseH3399 before me: {to…: Heb. to be an adversary unto thee}

They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
He lookethH7789 upon menH582, and if any sayH559, I have sinnedH2398, and pervertedH5753 that which was rightH3477, and it profitedH7737 me not; {He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say}
Because thou hast forgottenH7911 the GodH430 of thy salvationH3468, and hast not been mindfulH2142 of the rockH6697 of thy strengthH4581, therefore shalt thou plantH5193 pleasantH5282 plantsH5194, and shalt setH2232 it with strangeH2114 slipsH2156:
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.
Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725, I repentedH5162; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045, I smoteH5606 upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954, yea, even confoundedH3637, because I did bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271.
Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696 against him, I do earnestlyH2142 rememberH2142 him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993 for him; I will surelyH7355 have mercyH7355 upon him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {are…: Heb. sound}
He that walkethH3212 uprightlyH8537 walkethH1980 surelyH983: but he that pervertethH6140 his waysH1870 shall be knownH3045.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458, therefore bearH5375 thou also thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
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.
The foolishnessH200 of manH120 pervertethH5557 his wayH1870: and his heartH3820 frettethH2196 against the LORDH3068.
For IsraelH3478 hath forgottenH7911 his MakerH6213, and buildethH1129 templesH1964; and JudahH3063 hath multipliedH7235 fencedH1219 citiesH5892: but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
They shall askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherwardH2008, saying, ComeH935, and let us joinH3867 ourselves to the LORDH3068 in a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
According to their pastureH4830, so were they filledH7646; they were filledH7646, and their heartH3820 was exaltedH7311; therefore have they forgottenH7911 me.
He is gone upH5927 to BajithH1006, and to DibonH1769, the high placesH1116, to weepH1065: MoabH4124 shall howlH3213 over NeboH5015, and over MedebaH4311: on all their headsH7218 shall be baldnessH7144, and every beardH2206 cut offH1438.
But they that escapeH6403 of them shall escapeH6412, and shall be on the mountainsH2022 like dovesH3123 of the valleysH1516, all of them mourningH1993, every oneH376 for his iniquityH5771.

In that dayH3117 shall there be a greatH1431 mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, as the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddonH4023.
And the landH776 shall mournH5594, everyH4940 familyH4940 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of NathanH5416 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {every…: Heb. families, families}
