Run ye to and froH7751 through the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, and seeH7200 now, and knowH3045, and seekH1245 in the broad placesH7339 thereof, if ye can findH4672 a manH376, if there beH3426 any that executethH6213 judgmentH4941, that seekethH1245 the truthH530; and I will pardonH5545 it.
And though they sayH559, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; surely they swearH7650 falselyH8267.
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.
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.
I will getH3212 me unto the great menH1419, and will speakH1696 unto them; for they have knownH3045 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, and the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430: but these have altogetherH3162 brokenH7665 the yokeH5923, and burstH5423 the bondsH4147.
Wherefore a lionH738 out of the forestH3293 shall slayH5221 them, and a wolfH2061 of the eveningsH6160 shall spoilH7703 them, a leopardH5246 shall watchH8245 over their citiesH5892: every one that goeth outH3318 thence shallH2007 be torn in piecesH2963: because their transgressionsH6588 are manyH7231, and their backslidingsH4878 are increasedH6105. {evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}
HowH335 shall I pardonH5545 thee for thisH2063? thy childrenH1121 have forsakenH5800 me, and swornH7650 by them that are noH3808 godsH430: when I had fed them to the fullH7650, they then committed adulteryH5003, and assembled themselves by troopsH1413 in the harlots'H2181 housesH1004.
They were as fedH2109 horsesH5483 in the morningH7904: every oneH376 neighedH6670 after his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802.
Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
Go ye upH5927 upon her wallsH8284, and destroyH7843; but makeH6213 not a full endH3617: take awayH5493 her battlementsH5189; for they are not the LORD'SH3068.
For the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have dealt veryH898 treacherouslyH898 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They have beliedH3584 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, It is not he; neither shall evilH7451 comeH935 upon us; neither shall we seeH7200 swordH2719 nor famineH7458:
And the prophetsH5030 shall become windH7307, and the wordH1696 is not in them: thus shall it be doneH6213 unto them.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, Because ye speakH1696 this wordH1697, behold, I will makeH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310 fireH784, and this peopleH5971 woodH6086, and it shall devourH398 them.
Lo, I will bringH935 a nationH1471 upon you from farH4801, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: it is a mightyH386 nationH1471, it is an ancientH5769 nationH1471, a nationH1471 whose languageH3956 thou knowestH3045 not, neither understandestH8085 what they sayH1696.
Their quiverH827 is as an openH6605 sepulchreH6913, they are all mighty menH1368.
And they shall eat upH398 thine harvestH7105, and thy breadH3899, which thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 should eatH398: they shall eat upH398 thy flocksH6629 and thine herdsH1241: they shall eat upH398 thy vinesH1612 and thy fig treesH8384: they shall impoverishH7567 thy fencedH4013 citiesH5892, wherein thouH2007 trustedstH982, with the swordH2719.
Nevertheless in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 with you.
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayH559, WhereforeH8478+H4100 doethH6213 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answerH559 them, Like as ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430 in your landH776, so shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is not yours.
DeclareH5046 this in the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and publishH8085 it in JudahH3063, sayingH559,
HearH8085 now this, O foolishH5530 peopleH5971, and without understandingH3820; which have eyesH5869, and seeH7200 not; which have earsH241, and hearH8085 not: {understanding: Heb. heart}
FearH3372 ye not me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: will ye not trembleH2342 at my presenceH6440, which have placedH7760 the sandH2344 for the boundH1366 of the seaH3220 by a perpetualH5769 decreeH2706, that it cannot passH5674 it: and though the wavesH1530 thereof tossH1607 themselves, yet can they not prevailH3201; though they roarH1993, yet can they not pass overH5674 it?
But this peopleH5971 hath a revoltingH5637 and a rebelliousH4784 heartH3820; they are revoltedH5493 and goneH3212.
Neither sayH559 they in their heartH3824, Let us now fearH3372 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that givethH5414 rainH1653, both the formerH3138 and the latterH4456, in his seasonH6256: he reservethH8104 unto us the appointedH2708 weeksH7620 of the harvestH7105.
Your iniquitiesH5771 have turned awayH5186 these things, and your sinsH2403 have withholdenH4513 goodH2896 things from you.
For among my peopleH5971 are foundH4672 wickedH7563 men: they lay waitH7789, as he that settethH7918 snaresH3353; they setH5324 a trapH4889, they catchH3920 menH582. {they lay…: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}
As a cageH3619 is fullH4392 of birdsH5775, so are their housesH1004 fullH4392 of deceitH4820: therefore they are become greatH1431, and waxen richH6238. {cage: or, coop}
They are waxen fatH8080, they shineH6245: yea, they overpassH5674 the deedsH1697 of the wickedH7451: they judgeH1777 not the causeH1779, the cause of the fatherlessH3490, yet they prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they not judgeH8199.
Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
A wonderfulH8047 and horrible thingH8186 is committedH1961 in the landH776; {A wonderful…: or, Astonishment and filthiness}
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}

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}
Thou makestH7896 darknessH2822, and it is nightH3915: wherein all the beastsH2416 of the forestH3293 do creepH7430 forth. {beasts…: Heb. beasts thereof do trample on the forest}
AfterH870 thisH1836 I beheldH1934+H2370, and loH718 anotherH317, like a leopardH5245, which had uponH5922 the backH1355 of it fourH703 wingsH1611 of a fowlH5776; the beastH2423 had also fourH703 headsH7217; and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it.
Hast thou not procuredH6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whenH6256 he ledH3212 thee by the wayH1870?
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.
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:
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.
He hath forsakenH5800 his covertH5520, as the lionH3715: for their landH776 is desolateH8047 becauseH6440 of the fiercenessH2740 of the oppressorH3238, and becauseH6440 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {desolate: Heb. a desolation}
Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than the leopardsH5246, and are more fierceH2300 than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061: and their horsemenH6571 shall spreadH6335 themselves, and their horsemenH6571 shall comeH935 from farH7350; they shall flyH5774 as the eagleH5404 that hastethH2363 to eatH398. {fierce: Heb. sharp}
AndG2532 the beastG2342 whichG3739 I sawG1492 wasG2258 likeG3664 unto a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849.
Who is the wiseH2450 manH376, that may understandH995 this? and who is he to whom the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, that he may declareH5046 it, for what the landH776 perishethH6 and is burned upH3341 like a wildernessH4057, that none passeth throughH5674?
And the LORDH3068 saithH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 my lawH8451 which I setH5414 beforeH6440 them, and have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 therein;
But have walkedH3212 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their own heartH3820, and afterH310 BaalimH1168, which their fathersH1 taughtH3925 them: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 against the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will suddenlyH7280 make him run awayH7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?}
Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they gnaw not the bonesH1633 till the morrowH1242.
O LORDH3068, though our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 against us, doH6213 thou it for thy name'sH8034 sake: for our backslidingsH4878 are manyH7231; we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323; they only shall be deliveredH5337, but the landH776 shall be desolateH8077. {in it: Heb. in the midst of it}
Or if I bringH935 a swordH2719 upon that landH776, and sayH559, SwordH2719, go throughH5674 the landH776; so that I cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, but they only shall be deliveredH5337 themselves.
Or if I sendH7971 a pestilenceH1698 into that landH776, and pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon it in bloodH1818, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929:
Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971 my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? {How…: or, Also when}
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shewH5046 this peopleH5971 all these wordsH1697, and they shall sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 pronouncedH1696 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 against us? or what is our iniquityH5771? or what is our sinH2403 that we have committedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430?
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Because your fathersH1 have forsakenH5800 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshippedH7812 them, and have forsakenH5800 me, and have not keptH8104 my lawH8451;
And ye have doneH6213 worseH7489 than your fathersH1; for, beholdH2009, ye walkH1980 every oneH376 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, that they may not hearkenH8085 unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
The firstH6933 was like a lionH744, and had eagle'sH5403 wingsH1611: I beheldH1934+H2370 tillH5705 the wingsH1611 thereof were pluckedH4804, and it was lifted upH5191 fromH4481 the earthH772, and made standH6966 uponH5922 the feetH7271 as a manH606, and a man'sH606 heartH3825 was givenH3052 to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
The fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he have doneH6213 it, and until he have performedH6965 the intentsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it.
For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.
And, behold, ye are risen upH6965 in your fathers'H1 stead, an increaseH8635 of sinfulH2400 menH582, to augmentH5595 yet the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 toward IsraelH3478.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lionH7826: as a leopardH5246 by the wayH1870 will I observeH7789 them:
And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064. {trespass: or, guiltiness}
I will meetH6298 them as a bearH1677 that is bereavedH7909 of her whelps, and will rendH7167 the caulH5458 of their heartH3820, and there will I devourH398 them like a lionH3833: the wildH7704 beastH2416 shall tearH1234 them. {wild…: Heb. beast of the field}
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stood upH6965, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have transgressedH4603, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802, to increaseH3254 the trespassH819 of IsraelH3478. {have taken: Heb. have caused to dwell, or, have brought back}
WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.
For our transgressionsH6588 are multipliedH7231 before thee, and our sinsH2403 testifyH6030 against us: for our transgressionsH6588 are with us; and as for our iniquitiesH5771, we knowH3045 them;
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
Where is the dwellingH4583 of the lionsH738, and the feedingplaceH4829 of the young lionsH3715, where the lionH738, even the old lionH3833, walkedH1980, and the lion'sH738 whelpH1482, and none made them afraidH2729?
Thou hast builtH1129 thy high placeH7413 at every headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast made thy beautyH3308 to be abhorredH8581, and hast openedH6589 thy feetH7272 to every one that passed byH5674, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457.
