WoeH1945 be unto the pastorsH7462 that destroyH6 and scatterH6327 the sheepH6629 of my pastureH4830! saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 against the pastorsH7462 that feedH7462 my peopleH5971; Ye have scatteredH6327 my flockH6629, and driven them awayH5080, and have not visitedH6485 them: behold, I will visitH6485 upon you the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And I will gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of my flockH6629 out of all countriesH776 whither I have drivenH5080 them, and will bring them againH7725 to their foldsH5116; and they shall be fruitfulH6509 and increaseH7235.
And I will set upH6965 shepherdsH7462 over them which shall feedH7462 them: and they shall fearH3372 no more, nor be dismayedH2865, neither shall they be lackingH6485, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that they shall no more sayH559, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714;
But, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 and which ledH935 the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 out of the northH6828 countryH776, and from all countriesH776 whither I had drivenH5080 them; and they shall dwellH3427 in their own landH127.
Mine heartH3820 withinH7130 me is brokenH7665 because of the prophetsH5030; all my bonesH6106 shakeH7363; I am like a drunkenH7910 manH376, and like a manH1397 whom wineH3196 hath overcomeH5674, becauseH6440 of the LORDH3068, and because of the wordsH1697 of his holinessH6944.
For the landH776 is fullH4390 of adulterersH5003; for becauseH6440 of swearingH423 the landH776 mournethH56; the pleasant placesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 are dried upH3001, and their courseH4794 is evilH7451, and their forceH1369 is not right. {swearing: or, cursing} {course: or, violence}
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}
For who hath stoodH5975 in the counselH5475 of the LORDH3068, and hath perceivedH7200 and heardH8085 his wordH1697? who hath markedH7181 his wordH1697, and heardH8085 it? {counsel: or, secret}
Behold, a whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 is gone forthH3318 in furyH2534, even a grievousH2342 whirlwindH5591: it shall fall grievouslyH2342 upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563.
The angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he have executedH6213, and till he have performedH6965 the thoughtsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it perfectlyH998.
I have not sentH7971 these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I have not spokenH1696 to them, yet they prophesiedH5012.
But if they had stoodH5975 in my counselH5475, and had caused my peopleH5971 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, then they should have turnedH7725 them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.
Am I a GodH430 at handH7138, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and not a GodH430 afar offH7350?
Can anyH376 hideH5641 himself in secret placesH4565 that I shall not seeH7200 him? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Do not I fillH4392 heavenH8064 and earthH776? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I have heardH8085 what the prophetsH5030 saidH559, that prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492.
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;
Which thinkH2803 to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tellH5608 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, as their fathersH1 have forgottenH7911 my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.
The prophetH5030 that hath a dreamH2472, let him tellH5608 a dreamH2472; and he that hath my wordH1697, let him speakH1696 my wordH1697 faithfullyH571. What is the chaffH8401 to the wheatH1250? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc}
Is not my wordH1697 likeH3541 as a fireH784? saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and like a hammerH6360 that breakethH6327 the rockH5553 in piecesH6327?
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighbourH7453.
Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that useH3947 their tonguesH3956, and sayH5001, He saithH5002. {that…: or, that smooth their tongues}
Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012 falseH8267 dreamsH2472, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and do tellH5608 them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267, and by their lightnessH6350; yet I sentH7971 them not, nor commandedH6680 them: therefore they shall not profitH3276 this peopleH5971 at allH3276, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592 thee, sayingH559, What is the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068? thou shalt then sayH559 unto them, What burdenH4853? I will even forsakeH5203 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, I will even punishH6485 that manH376 and his houseH1004. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Thus shall ye sayH559 every oneH376 to his neighbourH7453, and every oneH376 to his brotherH251, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142 no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015 the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430.
Thus shalt thou sayH559 to the prophetH5030, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 thee? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
ButH518 since ye sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068; therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Because ye sayH559 this wordH1697, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, and I have sentH7971 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068;
Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterlyH5377 forgetH5382 you, and I will forsakeH5203 you, and the cityH5892 that I gaveH5414 you and your fathersH1, and cast you out of my presenceH6440:
And I will bringH5414 an everlastingH5769 reproachH2781 upon you, and a perpetualH5769 shameH3640, which shall not be forgottenH7911.

Therefore hearkenH8085 not ye to your prophetsH5030, nor to your divinersH7080, nor to your dreamersH2472, nor to your enchantersH6049, nor to your sorcerersH3786, which speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: {dreamers: Heb. dreams}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, What iniquityH5766 have your fathersH1 foundH4672 in me, that they are gone farH7368 from me, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 vanityH1892, and are become vainH1891?
I have not sentH7971 these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I have not spokenH1696 to them, yet they prophesiedH5012.
For they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you, to remove you farH7368 from your landH127; and that I should drive you outH5080, and ye should perishH6.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
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;
Therefore hearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you.
For I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, yet they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 in my nameH8034; that I might drive you outH5080, and that ye might perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you. {a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly}
Also I spakeH1696 to the priestsH3548 and to all this peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; HearkenH8085 not to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you, sayingH559, Behold, the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall now shortlyH4120 be brought againH7725 from BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you.
HearkenH8085 not unto them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: wherefore should this cityH5892 be laid wasteH2723?
BecauseG1360 that, when they knewG1097 GodG2316, they glorifiedG1392 him notG3756 asG5613 GodG2316, neitherG2228 were thankfulG2168; butG235 became vainG3154 inG1722 theirG846 imaginationsG1261, andG2532 theirG846 foolishG801 heartG2588 was darkenedG4654.
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034: I sentH7971 them not, neither have I commandedH6680 them, neither spakeH1696 unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto you a falseH8267 visionH2377 and divinationH7081, and a thing of noughtH457+H434, and the deceitH8649 of their heartH3820.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Let not your prophetsH5030 and your divinersH7080, that be in the midstH7130 of you, deceiveH5377 you, neither hearkenH8085 to your dreamsH2472 which ye cause to be dreamedH2492.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH1945 unto the foolishH5036 prophetsH5030, that followH1980+H310 their own spiritH7307, and have seenH7200 nothing! {follow: Heb. walk after} {and…: or, and things which they have not seen}
CeaseH2308, my sonH1121, to hearH8085 the instructionH4148 that causeth to errH7686 from the wordsH561 of knowledgeH1847.
They have seenH2372 vanityH7723 and lyingH3577 divinationH7081, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 saithH5002: and the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 them: and they have made others to hopeH3176 that they would confirmH6965 the wordH1697.
BewareG1161+G4337 ofG575 false prophetsG5578, whichG3748 comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 sheep'sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1526 raveningG727 wolvesG3074.
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
ForG1063 suchG5108 are false apostlesG5570, deceitfulG1386 workersG2040, transforming themselvesG3345 intoG1519 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
AndG2532 noG3756 marvelG2298; forG1063 SatanG4567 himselfG846 is transformedG3345 intoG1519 an angelG32 of lightG5457.
ThereforeG3767 it is noG3756 great thingG3173 ifG1499 hisG846 ministersG1249 alsoG1499 be transformedG3345 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of righteousnessG1343; whoseG3739 endG5056 shall beG2071 accordingG2596 to theirG846 worksG2041.
Therefore ye shall seeH2372 no more vanityH7723, nor divineH7080 divinationsH7081: for I will deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
ButG235 thoughG2532+G1437 weG2249, orG2228 an angelG32 fromG1537 heavenG3772, preach any other gospelG2097 unto youG5213 thanG3844 that whichG3739 we have preachedG2097 unto youG5213, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
And her prophetsH5030 have daubedH2902 them with untemperedH8602 morter, seeingH2374 vanityH7723, and diviningH7080 liesH3577 unto them, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, when the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696.
AsG5613 we said beforeG4280, soG2532 say IG3004 nowG737 againG3825, If anyG1536 man preachG2097 any otherG3844 gospelG2097 unto youG5209 thanG3844 thatG3739 ye have receivedG3880, let him beG2077 accursedG331.
