If thou wilt returnH7725, O IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, returnH7725 unto me: and if thou wilt put awayH5493 thine abominationsH8251 out of my sightH6440, then shalt thou not removeH5110.
And thou shalt swearH7650, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, in truthH571, in judgmentH4941, and in righteousnessH6666; and the nationsH1471 shall blessH1288 themselves in him, and in him shall they gloryH1984.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to the menH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Break upH5214 your fallow groundH5215, and sowH2232 not among thornsH6975.
CircumciseH4135 yourselves to the LORDH3068, and take awayH5493 the foreskinsH6190 of your heartH3824, ye menH376 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: lest my furyH2534 come forthH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that none can quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611.
DeclareH5046 ye in JudahH3063, and publishH8085 in JerusalemH3389; and sayH559, BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in the landH776: cryH7121, gather togetherH4390, and sayH559, AssembleH622 yourselves, and let us goH935 into the defencedH4013 citiesH5892.
Set upH5375 the standardH5251 toward ZionH6726: retireH5756, stayH5975 not: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667. {retire: or, strengthen} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
The lionH738 is come upH5927 from his thicketH5441, and the destroyerH7843 of the GentilesH1471 is on his wayH5265; he is gone forthH3318 from his placeH4725 to makeH7760 thy landH776 desolateH8047; and thy citiesH5892 shall be laid wasteH5327, without an inhabitantH3427.
For this girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594 and howlH3213: for the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 is not turned backH7725 from us.
And it shall come to pass at that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 shall perishH6, and the heartH3820 of the princesH8269; and the priestsH3548 shall be astonishedH8074, and the prophetsH5030 shall wonderH8539.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! surelyH403 thou hast greatlyH5377 deceivedH5377 this peopleH5971 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall have peaceH7965; whereas the swordH2719 reachethH5060 unto the soulH5315.
At that timeH6256 shall it be saidH559 to this peopleH5971 and to JerusalemH3389, A dryH6703 windH7307 of the high placesH8205 in the wildernessH4057 towardH1870 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, not to fanH2219, nor to cleanseH1305,
Even a fullH4392 windH7307 from those places shall comeH935 unto me: now also will I giveH1696 sentenceH4941 against them. {a full…: or, a fuller wind than those} {give…: Heb. utter judgments}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 as cloudsH6051, and his chariotsH4818 shall be as a whirlwindH5492: his horsesH5483 are swifterH7043 than eaglesH5404. WoeH188 unto us! for we are spoiledH7703.
O JerusalemH3389, washH3526 thine heartH3820 from wickednessH7451, that thou mayest be savedH3467. How long shall thy vainH205 thoughtsH4284 lodgeH3885 withinH7130 thee?
For a voiceH6963 declarethH5046 from DanH1835, and publishethH8085 afflictionH205 from mountH2022 EphraimH669.
Make ye mentionH2142 to the nationsH1471; behold, publishH8085 against JerusalemH3389, that watchersH5341 comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, and give outH5414 their voiceH6963 against the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
As keepersH8104 of a fieldH7704, are they against her round aboutH5439; because she hath been rebelliousH4784 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213 these things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060 unto thine heartH3820.
My bowelsH4578, my bowelsH4578! I am painedH2342+H3176 at my veryH7023 heartH3820; my heartH3820 maketh a noiseH1993 in me; I cannot hold my peaceH2790, because thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. {my very…: Heb. the walls of my heart}
DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the whole landH776 is spoiledH7703: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiledH7703, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.
How long shall I seeH7200 the standardH5251, and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782?
For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they have not knownH3045 me; they are sottishH5530 childrenH1121, and they have none understandingH995: they are wiseH2450 to do evilH7489, but to do goodH3190 they have no knowledgeH3045.
I beheldH7200 the earthH776, and, lo, it was without formH8414, and voidH922; and the heavensH8064, and they had no lightH216.
I beheldH7200 the mountainsH2022, and, lo, they trembledH7493, and all the hillsH1389 moved lightlyH7043.
I beheldH7200, and, lo, there was no manH120, and all the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 were fledH5074.
I beheldH7200, and, lo, the fruitful placeH3759 was a wildernessH4057, and all the citiesH5892 thereof were broken downH5422 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and by his fierceH2740 angerH639.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 saidH559, The whole landH776 shall be desolateH8077; yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617.
For this shall the earthH776 mournH56, and the heavensH8064 aboveH4605 be blackH6937: because I have spokenH1696 it, I have purposedH2161 it, and will not repentH5162, neither will I turn backH7725 from it.
The whole cityH5892 shall fleeH1272 for the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571 and bowmenH7198+H7411; they shall goH935 into thicketsH5645, and climb upH5927 upon the rocksH3710: every cityH5892 shall be forsakenH5800, and not a manH376 dwellH3427 thereinH2004.
And when thou art spoiledH7703, what wilt thou doH6213? Though thou clothestH3847 thyself with crimsonH8144, though thou deckestH5710 thee with ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091, though thou rentestH7167 thy faceH5869 with paintingH6320, in vainH7723 shalt thou make thyself fairH3302; thy loversH5689 will despiseH3988 thee, they will seekH1245 thy lifeH5315. {face: Heb. eyes}
For I have heardH8085 a voiceH6963 as of a woman in travailH2470, and the anguishH6869 as of her that bringeth forth her first childH1069, the voiceH6963 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, that bewailethH3306 herself, that spreadethH6566 her handsH3709, saying, WoeH188 is me now! for my soulH5315 is weariedH5888 because of murderersH2026.

Therefore I saidH559, Surely these are poorH1800; they are foolishH2973: for they knowH3045 not the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, nor the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430.
They will not frameH5414 their doingsH4611 to turnH7725 unto their GodH430: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 is in the midstH7130 of them, and they have not knownH3045 the LORDH3068. {They will…: or, Their doings will not suffer them} {frame: Heb. give}
But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453, whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David'sH1732 brotherH251: and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 subtilH2450 manH376.
HearH8085 now this, O foolishH5530 peopleH5971, and without understandingH3820; which have eyesH5869, and seeH7200 not; which have earsH241, and hearH8085 not: {understanding: Heb. heart}
AndG2532 these thingsG5023 will they doG4160 unto youG5213, becauseG3754 they haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 the FatherG3962, norG3761 meG1691.
And AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Go inH935 unto thy father'sH1 concubinesH6370, which he hath leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art abhorredH887 of thy fatherH1: then shall the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388.
So they spreadH5186 AbsalomH53 a tentH168 upon the top of the houseH1406; and AbsalomH53 went inH935 unto his father'sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478.
And the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302, which he counselledH3289 in those daysH3117, was as if a manH376 had enquiredH7592 at the oracleH1697 of GodH430: so was all the counselH6098 of AhithophelH302 both with DavidH1732 and with AbsalomH53. {oracle: Heb. word}
Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavenH8064 knowethH3045 her appointed timesH4150; and the turtleH8449 and the craneH5483 and the swallowH5693 observeH8104 the timeH6256 of their comingH935; but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 not the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068.
How do ye sayH559, We are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with us? Lo, certainlyH403 in vainH8267 madeH6213 he it; the penH5842 of the scribesH5608 is in vainH8267. {in vain made…: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205, and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027.
Do ye thus requiteH1580 the LORDH3068, O foolishH5036 peopleH5971 and unwiseH2450? is not he thy fatherH1 that hath boughtH7069 thee? hath he not madeH6213 thee, and establishedH3559 thee?
WhereG4226 is the wiseG4680? whereG4226 is the scribeG1122? whereG4226 is the disputerG4804 of thisG5127 worldG165? hathG3471 notG3780 GodG2316 made foolishG3471 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG2889?
AndG2532 the lordG2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG93 stewardG3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG5207 of thisG5127 worldG165 areG1526 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457.
ForG1063 afterG1894 that inG1722 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 the worldG2889 byG1223 wisdomG4678 knewG1097 notG3756 GodG2316, it pleasedG2106 GodG2316 byG1223 the foolishnessG3472 of preachingG2782 to saveG4982 them that believeG4100.
ForG1063 yourG5216 obedienceG5218 is come abroadG864 untoG1519 allG3956 men. I am gladG5463 thereforeG3767 onG1909 yourG5213 behalfG1909: but yetG1161 I would haveG2309 youG5209 wiseG4680 untoG1519 that which isG1511 goodG3303+G18, andG1161 simpleG185 concerningG1519 evilG2556. {simple: or, harmless}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732. The foolH5036 hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, There is no GodH430. They are corruptH7843, they have done abominableH8581 worksH5949, there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896.
The LORDH3068 looked downH8259 from heavenH8064 upon the childrenH1121 of menH120, to seeH7200 if thereH3426 were any that did understandH7919, and seekH1875 GodH430.
They are all gone asideH5493, they are all togetherH3162 become filthyH444: there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896, no, not oneH259. {filthy: Heb. stinking}
Have all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 no knowledgeH3045? who eat upH398 my peopleH5971 as they eatH398 breadH3899, and callH7121 not upon the LORDH3068.
BrethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 childrenG3813 in understandingG5424: howbeitG235 in maliceG2549 be ye childrenG3515, butG1161 in understandingG5424 beG1096 menG5046. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}
The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his ownerH7069, and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 cribH18: but IsraelH3478 doth not knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth not considerH995.
And he saidH559, GoH3212, and tellH559 this peopleH5971, HearH8085 ye indeedH8085, but understandH995 not; and seeH7200 ye indeedH7200, but perceiveH3045 not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
When the boughsH7105 thereof are witheredH3001, they shall be broken offH7665: the womenH802 comeH935, and set them on fireH215: for it is a peopleH5971 of no understandingH998: therefore he that madeH6213 them will not have mercyH7355 on them, and he that formedH3335 them will shew them no favourH2603.
For the LORDH3068 hath poured outH5258 upon you the spiritH7307 of deep sleepH8639, and hath closedH6105 your eyesH5869: the prophetsH5030 and your rulersH7218, the seersH2374 hath he coveredH3680. {rulers: Heb. heads}
And the visionH2380 of all is become unto you as the wordsH1697 of a bookH5612 that is sealedH2856, which men deliverH5414 to one that is learnedH3045, sayingH559, ReadH7121 this, I pray thee: and he saithH559, I cannotH3201; for it is sealedH2856: {book: or, letter}
And the bookH5612 is deliveredH5414 to him that is not learnedH3045+H5612, sayingH559, ReadH7121 this, I pray thee: and he saithH559, I am not learnedH3045.
Who is blindH5787, but my servantH5650? or deafH2795, as my messengerH4397 that I sentH7971? who is blindH5787 as he that is perfectH7999, and blindH5787 as the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650?
SeeingH7200+H7200 many thingsH7227, but thou observestH8104 not; openingH6491 the earsH241, but he hearethH8085 not.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, because there is no truthH571, nor mercyH2617, nor knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.
My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121. {destroyed: Heb. cut off}
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, whichG3588 sayG3004, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the goldG5557 of the templeG3485, he is a debtorG3784!
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 isG2076 greaterG3187, the goldG5557, orG2228 the templeG3485 that sanctifiethG37 the goldG5557?
AndG2532, WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 swearethG3660 byG1722 the giftG1435 that is uponG1883 itG846, he is guiltyG3784. {guilty: or, debtor, or, bound}
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, the giftG1435, orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiethG37 the giftG1435?
Whoso thereforeG3767 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 all thingsG3956 thereonG1883+G846.
AndG2532 whoso shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 him that dwellethG2730 thereinG846.
AndG2532 he that shall swearG3660 byG1722 heavenG3772, swearethG3660 byG1722 the throneG2362 of GodG2316, andG2532 byG1722 him that sittethG2521 thereonG1883+G846.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye pay titheG586 of mintG2238 andG2532 aniseG432 andG2532 cumminG2951, andG2532 have omittedG863 the weightierG926 matters of the lawG3551, judgmentG2920+G2532, mercyG1656, andG2532 faithG4102: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863. {anise: Gr. dill}
Ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, which strain atG1368 a gnatG2971, andG1161 swallowG2666 a camelG2574.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 of the platterG3953, butG1161 withinG2081 they are fullG1073 ofG1537 extortionG724 andG2532 excessG192.
Thou blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, cleanseG2511 firstG4412 that which is withinG1787 the cupG4221 andG2532 platterG3953, thatG2443 the outsideG1622 of themG846 may beG1096 cleanG2513 alsoG2532.
