Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Go downH3381 to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and speakH1696 there this wordH1697,
And sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sittestH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, thou, and thy servantsH5650, and thy peopleH5971 that enterH935 in by these gatesH8179:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; ExecuteH6213 ye judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666, and deliverH5337 the spoiledH1497 out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6216: and do no wrongH3238, do no violenceH2554 to the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, nor the widowH490, neither shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725.
For if ye doH6213 this thingH1697 indeedH6213, then shall there enter inH935 by the gatesH8179 of this houseH1004 kingsH4428 sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, he, and his servantsH5650, and his peopleH5971. {upon…: Heb. for David upon his throne}
But if ye will not hearH8085 these wordsH1697, I swearH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that this houseH1004 shall become a desolationH2723.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the king'sH4428 houseH1004 of JudahH3063; Thou art GileadH1568 unto me, and the headH7218 of LebanonH3844: yet surely I will makeH7896 thee a wildernessH4057, and citiesH5892 which are not inhabitedH3427+H3427.
And I will prepareH6942 destroyersH7843 against thee, every oneH376 with his weaponsH3627: and they shall cut downH3772 thy choiceH4005 cedarsH730, and castH5307 them into the fireH784.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?
Then they shall answerH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
WeepH1058 ye not for the deadH4191, neither bemoanH5110 him: but weepH1058 soreH1058 for him that goeth awayH1980: for he shall returnH7725 no more, nor seeH7200 his nativeH4138 countryH776.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 touchingH413 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which reignedH4427 instead of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, which went forthH3318 out of this placeH4725; He shall not returnH7725 thither any more:
But he shall dieH4191 in the placeH4725 whither they have led him captiveH1540, and shall seeH7200 this landH776 no more.
WoeH1945 unto him that buildethH1129 his houseH1004 byH3808 unrighteousnessH6664, and his chambersH5944 by wrongH4941; that useth his neighbour'sH7453 serviceH5647 without wagesH2600, and givethH5414 him not for his workH6467;
That saithH559, I will buildH1129 me a wideH4060 houseH1004 and largeH7304 chambersH5944, and cutteth him outH7167 windowsH2474; and it is cieledH5603 with cedarH730, and paintedH4886 with vermilionH8350. {large: Heb. through-aired} {windows: or, my windows}
Shalt thou reignH4427, because thou closestH8474 thyself in cedarH730? did not thy fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, and then it was wellH2896 with him?
He judgedH1777 the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896 with him: was not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 it. {violence: or, incursion}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; They shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935!
He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an assH2543, drawnH5498 and cast forthH7993 beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
Go upH5927 to LebanonH3844, and cryH6817; and lift upH5414 thy voiceH6963 in BashanH1316, and cryH6817 from the passagesH5676: for all thy loversH157 are destroyedH7665.
I spakeH1696 unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidstH559, I will not hearH8085. This hath been thy mannerH1870 from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedstH8085 not my voiceH6963. {prosperity: Heb. prosperities}
The windH7307 shall eat upH7462 all thy pastorsH7462, and thy loversH157 shall goH3212 into captivityH7628: surely then shalt thou be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for all thy wickednessH7451.
O inhabitantH3427 of LebanonH3844, that makest thy nestH7077 in the cedarsH730, how graciousH2603 shalt thou be when pangsH2256 comeH935 upon thee, the painH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205! {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were the signetH2368 upon my rightH3225 handH3027, yet would I pluckH5423 thee thence;
And I will giveH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 thy lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of them whose faceH6440 thou fearestH3016, even into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
And I will cast thee outH2904, and thy motherH517 that bareH3205 thee, into anotherH312 countryH776, where ye were not bornH3205; and there shall ye dieH4191.
But to the landH776 whereunto they desireH5375+H5315 to returnH7725, thither shall they not returnH7725. {desire: Heb. lift up their mind}
Is this manH376 ConiahH3659 a despisedH959 brokenH5310 idolH6089? is he a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656? wherefore are they cast outH7993, he and his seedH2233, and are castH2904 into a landH776 which they knowH3045 not?
O earthH776, earthH776, earthH776, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, WriteH3789 ye this manH376 childlessH6185, a manH1397 that shall not prosperH6743 in his daysH3117: for no manH376 of his seedH2233 shall prosperH6743, sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and rulingH4910 any more in JudahH3063.

O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
We lie downH7901 in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680 us: for we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
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.
For I spakeH1696 not unto your fathersH1, nor commandedH6680 them in the dayH3117 that I brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, concerningH1697 burnt offeringsH5930 or sacrificesH2077: {concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of}
But this thingH1697 commandedH6680 I them, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in all the waysH1870 that I have commandedH6680 you, that it may be wellH3190 unto you.
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.
Therefore thou shalt speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 unto them; but they will not hearkenH8085 to thee: thou shalt also callH7121 unto them; but they will not answerH6030 thee.
But thou shalt sayH559 unto them, This is a nationH1471 that obeyethH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor receivethH3947 correctionH4148: truthH530 is perishedH6, and is cut offH3772 from their mouthH6310. {correction: or, instruction}
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.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 have only doneH6213 evilH7451 beforeH5869 me from their youthH5271: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have only provoked me to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of their handsH3027, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
So the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to fetchH3947 the rollH4039: and he tookH3947 it out of ElishamaH476 the scribe'sH5608 chamberH3957. And JehudiH3065 readH7121 it in the earsH241 of the kingH4428, and in the earsH241 of all the princesH8269 which stoodH5975 besideH5921 the kingH4428.
Now the kingH4428 satH3427 in the winterhouseH1004+H2779 in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire on the hearthH254 burningH1197 beforeH6440 him.
And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the penknifeH8593+H5608, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254, until all the rollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254.
Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor rentH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697.
Nevertheless ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had made intercessionH6293 to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the rollH4039: but he would not hearH8085 them.
But the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4429, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030: but the LORDH3068 hidH5641 them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
RememberH2142, and forgetH7911 not, how thou provokedst the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 to wrathH7107 in the wildernessH4057: fromH4480 the dayH3117 that thou didst depart outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, until ye cameH935 unto this placeH4725, ye have been rebelliousH4784 againstH5973 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to ManassehH4519, and to his peopleH5971: but they would not hearkenH7181.
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
For I knowH3045 thy rebellionH4805, and thy stiffH7186 neckH6203: behold, while I am yet aliveH2416 with you this dayH3117, ye have been rebelliousH4784 against the LORDH3068; and how much more afterH310 my deathH4194?
Therefore he broughtH5927 upon them the kingH4428 of the ChaldeesH3778, who slewH2026 their young menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and had no compassionH2550 upon young manH970 or maidenH1330, old manH2205, or him that stooped for ageH3486: he gaveH5414 them all into his handH3027.
But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grown thickH5666, thou art coveredH3780 with fatness; then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, and lightly esteemedH5034 the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.
They provoked him to jealousyH7065 with strangeH2114 gods, with abominationsH8441 provoked they him to angerH3707.
They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
Of the RockH6697 that begatH3205 thee thou art unmindfulH7876, and hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that formedH2342 thee.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, he abhorredH5006 them, because of the provokingH3708 of his sonsH1121, and of his daughtersH1323. {abhorred: or, despised}
And he saidH559, I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200 what their endH319 shall be: for they are a very frowardH8419 generationH1755, childrenH1121 in whom is no faithH529.
Lest I be fullH7646, and denyH3584 thee, and sayH559, Who is the LORDH3068? or lest I be poorH3423, and stealH1589, and takeH8610 the nameH8034 of my GodH430 in vain. {deny…: Heb. belie thee}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalimH1168:
And they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and followedH3212+H310 otherH312 godsH430, of the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 that were round aboutH5439 them, and bowedH7812 themselves unto them, and provoked the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.
And they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalH1168 and AshtarothH6252.
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was hotH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he deliveredH5414 them into the handsH3027 of spoilersH8154 that spoiledH8155 them, and he soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of their enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, so that they couldH3201 not any longerH5750 standH5975 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341.
Whithersoever they went outH3318, the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was against them for evilH7451, as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696, and as the LORDH3068 had swornH7650 unto them: and they were greatlyH3966 distressedH3334.
Nevertheless the LORDH3068 raised upH6965 judgesH8199, which deliveredH3467 them out of the handH3027 of those that spoiledH8154 them. {delivered: Heb. saved}
And yet they would not hearkenH8085 unto their judgesH8199, but they went a whoringH2181 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 themselves unto them: they turnedH5493 quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which their fathersH1 walked inH1980, obeyingH8085 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068; but they didH6213 not so.
And when the LORDH3068 raisedH6965 them up judgesH8199, then the LORDH3068 was with the judgeH8199, and deliveredH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH341 all the daysH3117 of the judgeH8199: for it repentedH5162 the LORDH3068 becauseH6440 of their groaningsH5009 by reason of them that oppressedH3905 them and vexedH1766 them.
And it came to pass, when the judgeH8199 was deadH4194, that they returnedH7725, and corruptedH7843 themselves more than their fathersH1, in followingH3212+H310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to bow downH7812 unto them; they ceasedH5307 not from their own doingsH4611, nor from their stubbornH7186 wayH1870. {corrupted…: or, were corrupt} {ceased…: Heb. let nothing fall of their}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 mercies'H7356 sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 unto the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
He rebukedH1605 the RedH5488 seaH3220 also, and it was dried upH2717: so he ledH3212 them through the depthsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.
And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their enemiesH6862: there was not oneH259 of them leftH3498.
Then believedH539 they his wordsH1697; they sangH7891 his praiseH8416.
They soonH4116 forgatH7911 his worksH4639; they waitedH2442 not for his counselH6098: {They soon…: Heb. They made haste, they forgat}
But lustedH183 exceedinglyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452. {lusted…: Heb. lusted a lust}
And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leannessH7332 into their soulH5315.
They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saintH6918 of the LORDH3068.
The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowed upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.
And a fireH784 was kindledH1197 in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burned upH3857 the wickedH7563.
They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshippedH7812 the molten imageH4541.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
They forgatH7911 GodH410 their saviourH3467, which had doneH6213 great thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714;
Wondrous worksH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, and terrible thingsH3372 by the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Therefore he saidH559 that he would destroyH8045 them, had notH3884 MosesH4872 his chosenH972 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him in the breachH6556, to turn awayH7725 his wrathH2534, lest he should destroyH7843 them.
Yea, they despisedH3988 the pleasantH2532 landH776, they believedH539 not his wordH1697: {the pleasant…: Heb. a land of desire}
But murmuredH7279 in their tentsH168, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore he lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against them, to overthrowH5307 them in the wildernessH4057: {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
To overthrowH5307 their seedH2233 also among the nationsH1471, and to scatterH2219 them in the landsH776. {to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall}
They joinedH6775 themselves also unto BaalpeorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.
Thus they provoked him to angerH3707 with their inventionsH4611: and the plagueH4046 brake inH6555 upon them.
Then stood upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and so the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.
And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666 unto allH1755 generationsH1755 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
They angeredH7107 him also at the watersH4325 of strifeH4808+H4809, so that it went illH3415 with MosesH4872 for their sakes:
Because they provokedH4784 his spiritH7307, so that he spake unadvisedlyH981 with his lipsH8193.
They did not destroyH8045 the nationsH5971, concerning whom the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them:
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
And he gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the heathenH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.
Their enemiesH341 also oppressedH3905 them, and they were brought into subjectionH3665 under their handH3027.
ManyH7227 timesH6471 did he deliverH5337 them; but they provokedH4784 him with their counselH6098, and were brought lowH4355 for their iniquityH5771. {brought…: or, impoverished, or, weakened}
Nevertheless he regardedH7200 their afflictionH6862, when he heardH8085 their cryH7440:
And he rememberedH2142 for them his covenantH1285, and repentedH5162 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
He madeH5414 them also to be pitiedH7356 ofH6440 all those that carried them captivesH7617.
SaveH3467 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430, and gatherH6908 us from among the heathenH1471, to give thanksH3034 unto thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and to triumphH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769: and let all the peopleH5971 sayH559, AmenH543. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Yea, thou heardestH8085 not; yea, thou knewestH3045 not; yea, from that time that thine earH241 was not openedH6605: for I knewH3045 that thou wouldest deal veryH898 treacherouslyH898, and wast calledH7121 a transgressorH6586 from the wombH990.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
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.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And the namesH8034 of them were AholahH170 the elderH1419, and AholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they were mine, and they bareH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. Thus were their namesH8034; SamariaH8111 is AholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 AholibahH172. {Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}
And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,
Which were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
Thus she committedH5414 her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenH4005 menH1121 of AssyriaH804, and with all on whom she dotedH5689: with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself. {committed…: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen…: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}
Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
Wherefore I have deliveredH5414 her into the handH3027 of her loversH157, into the handH3027 of the AssyriansH1121+H804, upon whom she dotedH5689.
These discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, and slewH2026 her with the swordH2719: and she became famousH8034 among womenH802; for they had executedH6213 judgmentH8196 upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}
And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200 this, she was more corruptH7843 in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in her whoredomsH2183. {she was…: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than…: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}
She dotedH5689 upon the AssyriansH1121+H804 her neighboursH7138, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847 most gorgeouslyH4358, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970.
Then I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930, that they took bothH8147 oneH259 wayH1870,
And that she increasedH3254 her whoredomsH8457: for when she sawH7200 menH582 pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350,
GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loinsH4975, exceedingH5628 in dyed attireH2871 upon their headsH7218, all of them princesH7991 to look toH4758, after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH1121+H894 of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativityH4138:
And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyesH5869, she dotedH5689 upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778. {as soon…: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}
And the BabyloniansH1121+H894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredomH8457, and she was pollutedH2930 with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}
So she discoveredH1540 her whoredomsH8457, and discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361 from her sisterH269.
Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For she dotedH5689 upon their paramoursH6370, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of assesH2543, and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.
Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485 the lewdnessH2154 of thy youthH5271, in bruisingH6213 thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
Therefore, O AholibahH172, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will raise upH5782 thy loversH157 against thee, from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361, and I will bringH935 them against thee on every sideH5439;
The BabyloniansH1121+H894, and all the ChaldeansH3778, PekodH6489, and ShoaH7772, and KoaH6970, and all the AssyriansH1121+H804 with them: all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, great lordsH7991 and renownedH7121, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
And they shall comeH935 against thee with chariotsH2021, wagonsH7393, and wheelsH1534, and with an assemblyH6951 of peopleH5971, which shall setH7760 against thee bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 round aboutH5439: and I will setH5414 judgmentH4941 beforeH6440 them, and they shall judgeH8199 thee according to their judgmentsH4941.
And I will setH5414 my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall dealH6213 furiouslyH2534 with thee: they shall take awayH5493 thy noseH639 and thine earsH241; and thy remnantH319 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: they shall takeH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323; and thy residueH319 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784.
They shall also stripH6584 thee out of thy clothesH899, and take awayH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627. {fair…: Heb. instruments of thy decking}
Thus will I make thy lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 from thee, and thy whoredomH2184 brought from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: so that thou shalt not lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 any more.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them whom thou hatestH8130, into the handH3027 of them from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361:
And they shall dealH6213 with thee hatefullyH8135, and shall take awayH3947 all thy labourH3018, and shall leaveH5800 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181: and the nakednessH6172 of thy whoredomsH2183 shall be discoveredH1540, both thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
I will doH6213 these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoringH2181 afterH310 the heathenH1471, and because thou art pollutedH2930 with their idolsH1544.
Thou hast walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of thy sisterH269; therefore will I giveH5414 her cupH3563 into thine handH3027.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Thou shalt drinkH8354 of thy sister'sH269 cupH3563 deepH6013 and largeH7342: thou shalt be laughed to scornH6712 and had in derisionH3933; it containethH3557 muchH4767.
Thou shalt be filledH4390 with drunkennessH7943 and sorrowH3015, with the cupH3563 of astonishmentH8047 and desolationH8077, with the cupH3563 of thy sisterH269 SamariaH8111.
Thou shalt even drinkH8354 it and suck it outH4680, and thou shalt breakH1633 the sherdsH2789 thereof, and pluck offH5423 thine own breastsH7699: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458, therefore bearH5375 thou also thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 moreover unto me; SonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 AholahH170 and AholibahH172? yea, declareH5046 unto them their abominationsH8441; {judge: or, plead for}
That they have committed adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027, and with their idolsH1544 have they committed adulteryH5003, and have also caused their sonsH1121, whom they bareH3205 unto me, to pass for them throughH5674 the fire, to devourH402 them.
Moreover this they have doneH6213 unto me: they have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 in the same dayH3117, and have profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
For when they had slainH7819 their childrenH1121 to their idolsH1544, then they cameH935 the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it; and, lo, thus have they doneH6213 in the midstH8432 of mine houseH1004.
