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}

Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, the prophetsH5030 sayH559 unto them, Ye shall not seeH7200 the swordH2719, neither shall ye have famineH7458; but I will giveH5414 you assuredH571 peaceH7965 in this placeH4725. {assured…: Heb. peace of truth}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 in my nameH8034, and I sentH7971 them not, yet they sayH559, SwordH2719 and famineH7458 shall not be in this landH776; By swordH2719 and famineH7458 shall those prophetsH5030 be consumedH8552.
Then saidH559 they, ComeH3212, and let us deviseH2803 devicesH4284 against JeremiahH3414; for the lawH8451 shall not perishH6 from the priestH3548, nor counselH6098 from the wiseH2450, nor the wordH1697 from the prophetH5030. ComeH3212, and let us smiteH5221 him with the tongueH3956, and let us not give heedH7181 to any of his wordsH1697. {with…: or, for the tongue}
For sinceH1767 I spakeH1696, I cried outH2199, I criedH7121 violenceH2555 and spoilH7701; because the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was made a reproachH2781 unto me, and a derisionH7047, dailyH3117.
Then I saidH559, I will not make mentionH2142 of him, nor speakH1696 any more in his nameH8034. But his word was in mine heartH3820 as a burningH1197 fireH784 shut upH6113 in my bonesH6106, and I was wearyH3811 with forbearingH3557, and I couldH3201 not stay.
For I heardH8085 the defamingH1681 of manyH7227, fearH4032 on every sideH5439. ReportH5046, say they, and we will reportH5046 it. All my familiarsH582+H7965 watchedH8104 for my haltingH6763+H6761, saying, Peradventure he will be enticedH6601, and we shall prevailH3201 against him, and we shall takeH3947 our revengeH5360 on him. {All…: Heb. Every man of my peace}
But the LORDH3068 is with me as a mightyH1368 terrible oneH6184: therefore my persecutorsH7291 shall stumbleH3782, and they shall not prevailH3201: they shall be greatlyH3966 ashamedH954; for they shall not prosperH7919: their everlastingH5769 confusionH3639 shall never be forgottenH7911.
Within two fullH3117 yearsH8141 will I bring againH7725 into this placeH4725 all the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 took awayH3947 from this placeH4725, and carriedH935 them to BabylonH894: {two…: Heb. two years of days}
Do ye imagineH2803 to reproveH3198 wordsH4405, and the speechesH561 of one that is desperateH2976, which are as windH7307?
HowH575 longH5704 wilt thou speakH4448 these things? and how long shall the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310 be like a strongH3524 windH7307?
The daysH3117 of visitationH6486 are comeH935, the daysH3117 of recompenceH7966 are comeH935; IsraelH3478 shall knowH3045 it: the prophetH5030 is a foolH191, the spiritualH7307 manH376 is madH7696, for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771, and the greatH7227 hatredH4895. {spiritual…: Heb. man of the spirit}
