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}

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}
For this girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594 and howlH3213: for the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 is not turned backH7725 from us.
Oh thatH5414 my headH7218 were watersH4325, and mine eyesH5869 a fountainH4726 of tearsH1832, that I might weepH1058 dayH3119 and nightH3915 for the slainH2491 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971! {Oh…: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}
DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the whole landH776 is spoiledH7703: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiledH7703, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.
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,
And the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be at that dayH3117 from one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the other endH7097 of the earthH776: they shall not be lamentedH5594, neither gatheredH622, nor buriedH6912; they shall be dungH1828 uponH6440 the groundH127.
For the mountainsH2022 will I take upH5375 a weepingH1065 and wailingH5092, and for the habitationsH4999 of the wildernessH4057 a lamentationH7015, because they are burned upH3341, so that noneH376 can passH5674 through them; neither can men hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the cattleH4735; both the fowlH5775 of the heavensH8064 and the beastH929 are fledH5074; they are goneH1980. {habitations: or, pastures} {burned up: or, desolate} {both…: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc}
The spoilersH7703 are comeH935 upon all high placesH8205 through the wildernessH4057: for the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 shall devourH398 from the one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the other endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 shall have peaceH7965.
Behold the voiceH6963 of the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 because of them that dwell in a farH4801 countryH776: Is not the LORDH3068 in ZionH6726? is not her kingH4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to angerH3707 with their graven imagesH6456, and with strangeH5236 vanitiesH1892? {them…: Heb. the country of them that are far off}
HowlH3213, ye shepherdsH7462, and cryH2199; and wallowH6428 yourselves in the ashes, ye principalH117 of the flockH6629: for the daysH3117 of your slaughterH2873 and of your dispersionsH8600 are accomplishedH4390; and ye shall fallH5307 like a pleasantH2532 vesselH3627. {the days…: Heb. your days for slaughter} {a pleasant…: Heb. a vessel of desire}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, ConsiderH995 ye, and callH7121 for the mourning womenH6969, that they may comeH935; and sendH7971 for cunningH2450 women, that they may comeH935:
And let them make hasteH4116, and take upH5375 a wailingH5092 for us, that our eyesH5869 may run downH3381 with tearsH1832, and our eyelidsH6079 gush outH5140 with watersH4325.
For a voiceH6963 of wailingH5092 is heardH8085 out of ZionH6726, How are we spoiledH7703! we are greatlyH3966 confoundedH954, because we have forsakenH5800 the landH776, because our dwellingsH4908 have cast us outH7993.
Yet hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye womenH802, and let your earH241 receiveH3947 the wordH1697 of his mouthH6310, and teachH3925 your daughtersH1323 wailingH5092, and every oneH802 her neighbourH7468 lamentationH7015.
For deathH4194 is come upH5927 into our windowsH2474, and is enteredH935 into our palacesH759, to cut offH3772 the childrenH5768 from withoutH2351, and the young menH970 from the streetsH7339.
SpeakH1696, Thus saithH5002 the LORDH3068, Even the carcasesH5038 of menH120 shall fallH5307 as dungH1828 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704, and as the handfulH5995 afterH310 the harvestmanH7114, and none shall gatherH622 them.
Their widowsH490 are increasedH6105 to me above the sandH2344 of the seasH3220: I have broughtH935 upon them against the motherH517 of the young menH970 a spoilerH7703 at noondayH6672: I have caused him to fallH5307 upon it suddenlyH6597, and terrorsH928 upon the cityH5892. {the mother…: or, the mother city a young man spoiling, etc, or, the mother and the young men}
For the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 am I hurtH7665; I am blackH6937; astonishmentH8047 hath taken holdH2388 on me.
TrembleH2729, ye women that are at easeH7600; be troubledH7264, ye careless onesH982: stripH6584 you, and make you bareH6209, and girdH2290 sackcloth upon your loinsH2504.
But if ye will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secret placesH4565 forH6440 your prideH1466; and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 soreH1830, and run downH3381 with tearsH1832, because the LORD'SH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captiveH7617.
Therefore this iniquityH5771 shall be to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling outH1158 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose breakingH7667 comethH935 suddenlyH6597 at an instantH6621.
Is there no balmH6875 in GileadH1568; is there no physicianH7495 there? why thenH3588 is not the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 recoveredH5927? {recovered: Heb. gone up?}
And shall cause their voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 against thee, and shall cryH2199 bitterlyH4751, and shall cast upH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218, they shall wallowH6428 themselves in the ashesH665:
And in that dayH3117 did the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 callH7121 to weepingH1065, and to mourningH4553, and to baldnessH7144, and to girdingH2296 with sackclothH8242:
Oh thatH5414 my headH7218 were watersH4325, and mine eyesH5869 a fountainH4726 of tearsH1832, that I might weepH1058 dayH3119 and nightH3915 for the slainH2491 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971! {Oh…: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}
And they shall make themselves utterlyH7144 baldH7139 for thee, and girdH2296 them with sackclothH8242, and they shall weepH1058 for thee with bitternessH4751 of heartH5315 and bitterH4751 wailingH4553.
She weepethH1058 soreH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 this wordH1697 unto them; Let mine eyesH5869 run downH3381 with tearsH1832 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and let them not ceaseH1820: for the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is brokenH7665 with a greatH1419 breachH7667, with a veryH3966 grievousH2470 blowH4347.
Therefore I will wailH5594 and howlH3213, I will goH3212 strippedH7758+H7758 and nakedH6174: I will makeH6213 a wailingH4553 like the dragonsH8577, and mourningH60 as the owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: Heb. daughters of the owl}
For her woundH4347 is incurableH605; for it is comeH935 unto JudahH3063; he is comeH5060 unto the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, even to JerusalemH3389. {her…: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds}
DeclareH5046 ye it not at GathH1661, weepH1058 ye not at allH1058: in the house of AphrahH1036 rollH6428+H6428 thyself in the dustH6083. {Aphrah: that is, Dust}
For these things I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162 that should relieveH7725 my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 prevailedH1396. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
Therefore saidH559 I, Look awayH8159 from me; I will weepH1065 bitterlyH4843, labourH213 not to comfortH5162 me, because of the spoilingH7701 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971. {weep…: Heb. be bitter in weeping}
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.
All handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325. {be weak…: Heb. go into water}
They shall also girdH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242, and horrorH6427 shall coverH3680 them; and shameH955 shall be upon all facesH6440, and baldnessH7144 upon all their headsH7218.
Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because the childrenH5768 and the sucklingsH3243 swoonH5848 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151. {swoon: or, faint}
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
Mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with riversH6388 of waterH4325 for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
NowG1161 whenG5613 he came nighG1448 to the gateG4439 of the cityG4172, beholdG2532+G2400, there wasG1580 a dead manG2348 carried outG1580, the onlyG3439 sonG5207 of hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 sheG846 wasG2258 a widowG5503: andG2532 muchG2425 peopleG3793 of the cityG4172 wasG2258 withG4862 herG846.
Even the sea monstersH8577 draw outH2502 the breastH7699, they give suckH3243 to their young onesH1482: the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is become cruelH393, like the ostrichesH3283 in the wildernessH4057. {sea…: or, sea calves}
Be afflictedG5003, andG2532 mournG3996, andG2532 weepG2799: let yourG5216 laughterG1071 be turnedG3344 toG1519 mourningG3997, andG2532 your joyG5479 toG1519 heavinessG2726.
For the punishment of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the punishmentH2403 of the sin of SodomH5467, that was overthrownH2015 as in a momentH7281, and no handsH3027 stayedH2342 on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}
