The sinH2403 of JudahH3063 is writtenH3789 with a penH5842 of ironH1270, and with the pointH6856 of a diamondH8068: it is gravenH2790 upon the tableH3871 of their heartH3820, and upon the hornsH7161 of your altarsH4196; {point: Heb. nail}
Whilst their childrenH1121 rememberH2142 their altarsH4196 and their grovesH842 by the greenH7488 treesH6086 upon the highH1364 hillsH1389.
O my mountainH2042 in the fieldH7704, I will giveH5414 thy substanceH2428 and all thy treasuresH214 to the spoilH957, and thy high placesH1116 for sinH2403, throughout all thy bordersH1366.
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinueH8058 from thine heritageH5159 that I gaveH5414 thee; and I will cause thee to serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 in the landH776 which thou knowestH3045 not: for ye have kindledH6919 a fireH784 in mine angerH639, which shall burnH3344 forH5704 everH5769. {thyself: Heb. in thyself}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; CursedH779 be the manH1397 that trustethH982 in manH120, and makethH7760 fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departethH5493 from the LORDH3068.
For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.
BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 that trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, and whose hopeH4009 the LORDH3068 is.
For he shall be as a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the watersH4325, and that spreadeth outH7971 her rootsH8328 by the riverH3105, and shall not seeH7200 when heatH2527 comethH935, but her leafH5929 shall be greenH7488; and shall not be carefulH1672 in the yearH8141 of droughtH1226, neither shall ceaseH4185 from yieldingH6213 fruitH6529. {drought: or, restraint}
The heartH3820 is deceitfulH6121 above all things, and desperately wickedH605: who can knowH3045 it?
I the LORDH3068 searchH2713 the heartH3820, I tryH974 the reinsH3629, even to giveH5414 every manH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611.
As the partridgeH7124 sittethH1716 on eggs, and hatchethH3205 them not; so he that gettethH6213 richesH6239, and not by rightH4941, shall leaveH5800 them in the midstH2677 of his daysH3117, and at his endH319 shall be a foolH5036. {sitteth…: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth}
A gloriousH3519 highH4791 throneH3678 from the beginningH7223 is the placeH4725 of our sanctuaryH4720.
O LORDH3068, the hopeH4723 of IsraelH3478, all that forsakeH5800 thee shall be ashamedH954, and they that departH3249 from meH5493 shall be writtenH3789 in the earthH776, because they have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325.
HealH7495 me, O LORDH3068, and I shall be healedH7495; saveH3467 me, and I shall be savedH3467: for thou art my praiseH8416.
Behold, they sayH559 unto me, Where is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068? let it comeH935 now.
As for me, I have not hastenedH213 from being a pastorH7462 to followH310 thee: neither have I desiredH183 the woefulH605 dayH3117; thou knowestH3045: that which came outH4161 of my lipsH8193 was right beforeH5227 theeH6440. {to…: Heb. after thee}
Be not a terrorH4288 unto me: thou art my hopeH4268 in the dayH3117 of evilH7451.
Let them be confoundedH954 that persecuteH7291 me, but let not me be confoundedH954: let them be dismayedH2865, but let not me be dismayedH2865: bringH935 upon them the dayH3117 of evilH7451, and destroyH7665 them with doubleH4932 destructionH7670. {destroy…: Heb. break them with a double breach}
Thus saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me; GoH1980 and standH5975 in the gateH8179 of the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971, whereby the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 come inH935, and by the which they go outH3318, and in all the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;
And sayH559 unto them, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and all JudahH3063, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, that enter inH935 by these gatesH8179:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Take heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315, and bearH5375 no burdenH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, nor bringH935 it in by the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;
Neither carry forthH3318 a burdenH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, neither doH6213 ye any workH4399, but hallowH6942 ye the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, as I commandedH6680 your fathersH1.
But they obeyedH8085 not, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241, but made their neckH6203 stiffH7185, that they might not hearH8085, nor receiveH3947 instructionH4148.
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligentlyH8085 hearkenH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to bringH935 in no burdenH4853 through the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, but hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to doH6213 noH1115 workH4399 therein;
Then shall there enterH935 into the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 kingsH4428 and princesH8269 sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, they, and their princesH8269, the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: and this cityH5892 shall remainH3427 for everH5769.
And they shall comeH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and from the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and from the plainH8219, and from the mountainsH2022, and from the southH5045, bringingH935 burnt offeringsH5930, and sacrificesH2077, and meat offeringsH4503, and incenseH3828, and bringingH935 sacrifices of praiseH8426, unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me to hallowH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and not to bearH5375 a burdenH4853, even entering inH935 at the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117; then will I kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the gatesH8179 thereof, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389, and it shall not be quenchedH3518.

Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
BeforeH2962 I formedH3335 thee in the bellyH990 I knewH3045 thee; and before thou camest forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 I sanctifiedH6942 thee, and I ordainedH5414 thee a prophetH5030 unto the nationsH1471. {ordained: Heb. gave}
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, I cannotH3045 speakH1696: for I am a childH5288.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, SayH559 not, I am a childH5288: for thou shalt goH3212 to all that I shall sendH7971 thee, and whatsoever I commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696.
Be not afraidH3372 of their facesH6440: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310.
SeeH7200, I have this dayH3117 setH6485 thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to root outH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6, and to throw downH2040, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193.
My bowelsH4578, my bowelsH4578! I am painedH2342+H3176 at my veryH7023 heartH3820; my heartH3820 maketh a noiseH1993 in me; I cannot hold my peaceH2790, because thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. {my very…: Heb. the walls of my heart}
And howG5613 I kept backG5288 nothingG3762 that was profitableG4851 unto you, butG3361 have shewedG312 youG5213, andG2532 have taughtG1321 youG5209 publicklyG1219, andG2532 fromG2596 house to houseG3624,
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.
DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the whole landH776 is spoiledH7703: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiledH7703, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.
ForG1063 I haveG5288 notG3756+G3361 shunnedG5288 to declareG312 unto youG5213 allG3956 the counselG1012 of GodG2316.
So the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and took me awayH3947, and I wentH3212 in bitternessH4751, in the heatH2534 of my spiritH7307; but the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was strongH2388 upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger}
Then I cameH935 to them of the captivityH1473 at TelabibH8512, that dweltH3427 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, and I satH3427 where they satH3427, and remainedH3427 there astonishedH8074 amongH8432 them sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, I have madeH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and give them warningH2094 from me.
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.
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}
ForG1063 ourG2257 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 thisG3778, the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 conscienceG4893, thatG3754 inG1722 simplicityG572 andG2532 godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, notG3756 withG1722 fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678, butG235 byG1722 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have had our conversationG390 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG1161 more abundantlyG4056 toG4314 you-wardG5209.
So thou, O sonH1121 of manH120, I have setH5414 thee a watchmanH6822 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; therefore thou shalt hearH8085 the wordH1697 at my mouthH6310, and warnH2094 them from me.
When I sayH559 unto the wickedH7563, O wickedH7563 man, thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191; if thou dost not speakH1696 to warnH2094 the wickedH7563 from his wayH1870, that wickedH7563 man shall dieH4191 in his iniquityH5771; but his bloodH1818 will I requireH1245 at thine handH3027.
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.
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.
ForG1063 we areG2070 notG3756 asG5613 manyG4183, which corruptG2585 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: butG235 asG5613 ofG1537 sincerityG1505, butG235 asG5613 ofG1537 GodG2316, in the sightG2714 of GodG2316 speak weG2980 inG1722 ChristG5547. {corrupt: or, deal deceitfully with} {in Christ: or, of Christ}
Then answeredH6030 AmosH5986, and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet'sH5030 sonH1121; but I was an herdmanH951, and a gathererH1103 of sycomore fruitH8256: {sycomore…: or, wild figs}
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.
If I go forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, then behold the slainH2491 with the swordH2719! and if I enterH935 into the cityH5892, then behold them that are sickH8463 with famineH7458! yea, both the prophetH5030 and the priestH3548 go aboutH5503 into a landH776 that they knowH3045 not. {go about…: or, make merchandise against a land, and men acknowledge it not}
Hast thou utterlyH3988 rejectedH3988 JudahH3063? hath thy soulH5315 lothedH1602 ZionH6726? why hast thou smittenH5221 us, and there is no healingH4832 for us? we lookedH6960 for peaceH7965, and there is no goodH2896; and for the timeH6256 of healingH4832, and behold troubleH1205!
We acknowledgeH3045, O LORDH3068, our wickednessH7562, and the iniquityH5771 of our fathersH1: for we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
Do not abhorH5006 us, for thy name'sH8034 sake, do not disgraceH5034 the throneH3678 of thy gloryH3519: rememberH2142, breakH6565 not thy covenantH1285 with us.
And the LORDH3068 tookH3947 me as I followedH310 the flockH6629, and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. {as…: Heb. from behind}
Shall evilH7451 be recompensedH7999 for goodH2896? for they have diggedH3738 a pitH7745 for my soulH5315. RememberH2142 that I stoodH5975 beforeH6440 thee to speakH1696 goodH2896 for them, and to turn awayH7725 thy wrathH2534 from them.
WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, letG2077 everyG3956 manG444 beG2077 swiftG5036 toG1519 hearG191, slowG1021 toG1519 speakG2980, slowG1021 toG1519 wrathG3709:
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
