At that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, they shall bring outH3318 the bonesH6106 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and the bonesH6106 of his princesH8269, and the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548, and the bonesH6106 of the prophetsH5030, and the bonesH6106 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, out of their gravesH6913:
And they shall spreadH7849 them before the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, whom they have lovedH157, and whom they have servedH5647, and afterH310 whom they have walkedH1980, and whom they have soughtH1875, and whom they have worshippedH7812: they shall not be gatheredH622, nor be buriedH6912; they shall be for dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And deathH4194 shall be chosenH977 rather than lifeH2416 by all the residueH7611 of them that remainH7604 of this evilH7451 familyH4940, which remainH7604 in all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Moreover thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Shall they fallH5307, and not ariseH6965? shall he turn awayH7725, and not returnH7725?
Why then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetualH5329 backslidingH4878? they holdH2388 fast deceitH8649, they refuseH3985 to returnH7725.
I hearkenedH7181 and heardH8085, but they spake not arightH1696: no manH376 repentedH5162 him ofH5921 his wickednessH7451, sayingH559, What have I doneH6213? every one turnedH7725 to his courseH4794, as the horseH5483 rushethH7857 into the battleH4421.
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}
Therefore will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto othersH312, and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall inheritH3423 them: for every one from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419 is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215, from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
For they have healedH7495 the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965.
Were they ashamedH3001 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nay, they were not at allH954 ashamedH954, neither couldH3045 they blushH3637: therefore shall they fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall be cast downH3782, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
I will surelyH622 consumeH5486 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: there shall be no grapesH6025 on the vineH1612, nor figsH8384 on the fig treeH8384, and the leafH5929 shall fadeH5034; and the things that I have givenH5414 them shall pass awayH5674 from them. {I will…: or, In gathering I will consume}
Why do we sit stillH3427? assembleH622 yourselves, and let us enterH935 into the defencedH4013 citiesH5892, and let us be silentH1826 there: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 hath put us to silenceH1826, and given us waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248, because we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. {gall: or, poison}
We lookedH6960 for peaceH7965, but no goodH2896 came; and for a timeH6256 of healthH4832, and behold troubleH1205!
The snortingH5170 of his horsesH5483 was heardH8085 from DanH1835: the whole landH776 trembledH7493 at the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his strong onesH47; for they are comeH935, and have devouredH398 the landH776, and allH4393 that is in it; the cityH5892, and those that dwellH3427 therein. {all…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For, behold, I will sendH7971 serpentsH5175, cockatricesH6848, among you, which will not be charmedH3908, and they shall biteH5391 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
When I would comfortH4010 myself against sorrowH3015, my heartH3820 is faintH1742 in me. {in: Heb. upon}
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}
The harvestH7105 is pastH5674, the summerH7019 is endedH3615, and we are not savedH3467.
For the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 am I hurtH7665; I am blackH6937; astonishmentH8047 hath taken holdH2388 on me.
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 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 both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profaneH2610; yea, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Wherefore their wayH1870 shall be unto them as slipperyH2519 ways in the darknessH653: they shall be driven onH1760, and fallH5307 therein: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, even the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And I have seenH7200 follyH8604 in the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111; they prophesiedH5012 in BaalH1168, and caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to errH8582. {folly: or, an absurd thing: Heb. unsavoury}
I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. {an…: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, HearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you: they make you vainH1891: they speakH1696 a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not out of the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
They sayH559 stillH559 unto them that despiseH5006 me, The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696, Ye shall have peaceH7965; and they sayH559 unto every one that walkethH1980 after the imaginationH8307 of his own heartH3820, No evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon you. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318 is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947 from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 of them. {pleasant…: Heb. vineyards of desire}

Therefore their goodsH2428 shall become a bootyH4933, and their housesH1004 a desolationH8077: they shall also buildH1129 housesH1004, but not inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, but not drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
How long shall this beH3426 in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 liesH8267? yea, they are prophetsH5030 of the deceitH8649 of their own heartH3820;
