RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. {they grow: Heb. they go on}
But thou, O LORDH3068, knowestH3045 me: thou hast seenH7200 me, and triedH974 mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942 them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028. {toward…: Heb. with thee}
How long shall the landH776 mournH56, and the herbsH6212 of every fieldH7704 witherH3001, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein? the beastsH929 are consumedH5595, and the birdsH5775; because they saidH559, He shall not seeH7200 our last endH319.
If thou hast runH7323 with the footmenH7273, and they have weariedH3811 thee, then how canst thou contendH8474 with horsesH5483? and if in the landH776 of peaceH7965, wherein thou trustedstH982, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou doH6213 in the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383?
For even thy brethrenH251, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, even they have dealt treacherouslyH898 with thee; yea, they have calledH7121 a multitudeH4392 afterH310 thee: believeH539 them not, though they speakH1696 fair wordsH2896 unto thee. {they have called…: or, they cried after thee fully} {fair…: Heb. good things}
I have forsakenH5800 mine houseH1004, I have leftH5203 mine heritageH5159; I have givenH5414 the dearly belovedH3033 of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341. {the dearly…: Heb. the love}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293; it crieth outH5414+H6963 against me: therefore have I hatedH8130 it. {crieth…: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a speckledH6641 birdH5861, the birdsH5861 round aboutH5439 are against her; comeH3212 ye, assembleH622 all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, comeH857 to devourH402. {speckled: or, taloned} {come to: or, cause them to come to}
ManyH7227 pastorsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under footH947, they have madeH5414 my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. {pleasant…: Heb. portion of desire}
They have madeH7760 it desolateH8076, and being desolateH8077 it mournethH56 unto me; the whole landH776 is made desolateH8074, because no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820.
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.
They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, but shall reapH7114 thornsH6975: they have put themselves to painH2470, but shall not profitH3276: and they shall be ashamedH954 of your revenuesH8393 because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. {they shall: or, ye shall}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 against all mine evilH7451 neighboursH7934, that touchH5060 the inheritanceH5159 which I have caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157; Behold, I will pluck them outH5428 of their landH127, and pluck outH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from amongH8432 them.
And it shall come to pass, afterH310 that I have plucked them outH5428 I will returnH7725, and have compassionH7355 on them, and will bring them againH7725, every manH376 to his heritageH5159, and every manH376 to his landH776.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligentlyH3925 learnH3925 the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650 by my nameH8034, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; as they taughtH3925 my peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971.
But if they will not obeyH8085, I will utterlyH5428 pluck upH5428 and destroyH6 that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
