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.

But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440. {imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}
Since the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 came forth outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117 I have even sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them:
Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1.
HeH376, that being often reprovedH8433 hardenethH7185 his neckH6203, shall suddenlyH6621 be destroyedH7665, and that without remedyH4832. {He…: Heb. A man of reproofs}
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}
They are turned backH7725 to the iniquitiesH5771 of their forefathersH7223+H1, which refusedH3985 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697; and they wentH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them: the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 which I madeH3772 with their fathersH1.
And they have turnedH6437 unto me the backH6203, and not the faceH6440: though I taughtH3925 them, rising up earlyH7925 and teachingH3925 them, yet they have not hearkenedH8085 to receiveH3947 instructionH4148. {back: Heb. neck}
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Because your fathersH1 have forsakenH5800 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshippedH7812 them, and have forsakenH5800 me, and have not keptH8104 my lawH8451;
I have sentH7971 also unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 ye now every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and amendH3190 your doingsH4611, and goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and ye shall dwell inH3427 the landH127 which I have givenH5414 to you and to your fathersH1: but ye have not inclinedH5186 your earH241, nor hearkenedH8085 unto me.
And ye have doneH6213 worseH7489 than your fathersH1; for, beholdH2009, ye walkH1980 every oneH376 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, that they may not hearkenH8085 unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 upon this cityH5892 and upon all her townsH5892 all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against it, because they have hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, that they might not hearH8085 my wordsH1697.

But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.

But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
