O ye childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, gather yourselves to fleeH5756 out of the midstH7130 of JerusalemH3389, and blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in TekoaH8620, and set upH5375 a signH4864 of fire in BethhacceremH1021: for evilH7451 appearethH8259 out of the northH6828, and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
I have likenedH1820 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 to a comelyH5116 and delicateH6026 woman. {comely: or, dwelling at home}
The shepherdsH7462 with their flocksH5739 shall comeH935 unto her; they shall pitchH8628 their tentsH168 against her round aboutH5439; they shall feedH7462 every oneH376 in his placeH3027.
PrepareH6942 ye warH4421 against her; ariseH6965, and let us go upH5927 at noonH6672. WoeH188 unto us! for the dayH3117 goeth awayH6437, for the shadowsH6752 of the eveningH6153 are stretched outH5186.
AriseH6965, and let us goH5927 by nightH3915, and let us destroyH7843 her palacesH759.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 saidH559, Hew ye downH3772 treesH6097, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against JerusalemH3389: this is the cityH5892 to be visitedH6485; she is wholly oppressionH6233 in the midstH7130 of her. {cast…: or, pour out the engine of shot}
As a fountainH953 casteth outH6979 her watersH4325, so she casteth outH6979 her wickednessH7451: violenceH2555 and spoilH7701 is heardH8085 in her; before meH6440 continuallyH8548 is griefH2483 and woundsH4347.
Be thou instructedH3256, O JerusalemH3389, lest my soulH5315 departH3363 from thee; lest I makeH7760 thee desolateH8077, a landH776 not inhabitedH3427. {depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall throughlyH5953 gleanH5953 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 as a vineH1612: turn backH7725 thine handH3027 as a grapegathererH1219 into the basketsH5552.
To whom shall I speakH1696, and give warningH5749, that they may hearH8085? behold, their earH241 is uncircumcisedH6189, and they cannotH3201 hearkenH7181: behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is unto them a reproachH2781; they have no delightH2654 in it.
Therefore I am fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068; I am wearyH3811 with holding inH3557: I will pour it outH8210 upon the childrenH5768 abroadH2351, and upon the assemblyH5475 of young menH970 togetherH3162: for even the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be takenH3920, the agedH2205 with him that is fullH4390 of daysH3117.
And their housesH1004 shall be turnedH5437 unto othersH312, with their fieldsH7704 and wivesH802 togetherH3162: for I will stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For from the leastH6996 of them even unto the greatestH1419 of them every one is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215; and from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
They have healedH7495 also the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965. {hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}
Were they ashamedH3001 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nayH1571, they were not at allH954 ashamedH954, neitherH1571 couldH3045 they blushH3637: therefore they shall fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: at the timeH6256 that I visitH6485 them they shall be cast downH3782, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein.
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
Therefore hearH8085, ye nationsH1471, and knowH3045, O congregationH5712, what is among them.
HearH8085, O earthH776: behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, even the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, because they have not hearkenedH7181 unto my wordsH1697, nor to my lawH8451, but rejectedH3988 it.
To what purpose comethH935 there to me incenseH3828 from ShebaH7614, and the sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a farH4801 countryH776? your burnt offeringsH5930 are not acceptableH7522, nor your sacrificesH2077 sweetH6149 unto me.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will layH5414 stumblingblocksH4383 before this peopleH5971, and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall fallH3782 upon them; the neighbourH7934 and his friendH7453 shall perishH6.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, a peopleH5971 comethH935 from the northH6828 countryH776, and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be raisedH5782 from the sidesH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have no mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roarethH1993 like the seaH3220; and they rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, set in arrayH6186 as menH376 for warH4421 against thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.
We have heardH8085 the fameH8089 thereof: our handsH3027 wax feebleH7503: anguishH6869 hath taken holdH2388 of us, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205.
Go not forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, nor walkH3212 by the wayH1870; for the swordH2719 of the enemyH341 and fearH4032 is on every sideH5439.
O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an only sonH3173, most bitterH8563 lamentationH4553: for the spoilerH7703 shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 upon us.
I have setH5414 thee for a towerH969 and a fortressH4013 among my peopleH5971, that thou mayest knowH3045 and tryH974 their wayH1870.
They are all grievousH5493 revoltersH5637, walkingH1980 with slandersH7400: they are brassH5178 and ironH1270; they are all corruptersH7843.
The bellowsH4647 are burnedH2787, the leadH5777 is consumedH8552 of the fireH800+H784; the founderH6884 meltethH6884 in vainH7723: for the wickedH7451 are not plucked awayH5423.
ReprobateH3988 silverH3701 shall men callH7121 them, because the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them. {Reprobate…: or, Refuse silver}

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.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; and thou givest him not warningH2094, nor speakestH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, to save his lifeH2421; the same wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
Yet if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563, and he turnH7725 not from his wickednessH7562, nor from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
AgainH7725, When a righteousH6662 man doth turnH7725 from his righteousnessH6664, and commitH6213 iniquityH5766, and I layH5414 a stumblingblockH4383 beforeH6440 him, he shall dieH4191: because thou hast not given him warningH2094, he shall dieH4191 in his sinH2403, and his righteousnessH6666 which he hath doneH6213 shall not be rememberedH2142; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027. {righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses}
Nevertheless if thou warnH2094 the righteousH6662 man, that the righteousH6662 sinH2398 not, and he doth not sinH2398, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421, because he is warnedH2094; also thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
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.
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.
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
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.
If when he seethH7200 the swordH2719 comeH935 upon the landH776, he blowH8628 the trumpetH7782, and warnH2094 the peopleH5971;
Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1.
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.
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}

For preceptH6673 must be upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191: {must be: or, hath been}
For with stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971. {stammering…: Heb. stammerings of lip} {will…: or, he hath spoken}
To whom he saidH559, This is the restH4496 wherewith ye may cause the wearyH5889 to restH5117; and this is the refreshingH4774: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085.
But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was unto them preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191; that they might goH3212, and fallH3782 backwardH268, and be brokenH7665, and snaredH3369, and takenH3920.
Nevertheless, if thou warnH2094 the wickedH7563 of his wayH1870 to turnH7725 from it; if he do not turnH7725 from his wayH1870, he shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but thou hast deliveredH5337 thy soulH5315.
And MosesH4872 spakeH1696 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have not hearkenedH8085 unto me; how then shall PharaohH6547 hearH8085 meH589, who am of uncircumcisedH6189 lipsH8193?
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}

But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}

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.
ThenG1161 answeredG611 oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544, and saidG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, thusG5023 sayingG3004 thou reproachestG5195 usG2248 alsoG2532.

Therefore he hath pouredH8210 upon him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421: and it hath set him on fireH3857 round aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045 not; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he laidH7760 it not to heartH3820.

The worldG2889 cannotG3756+G1410 hateG3404 youG5209; butG1161 meG1691 it hatethG3404, becauseG3754 IG1473 testifyG3140 ofG4012 itG846, thatG3754 the worksG2041 thereofG846 areG2076 evilG4190.
