And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a sharpH2299 knifeH2719, takeH3947 thee a barber'sH1532 razorH8593, and cause it to passH5674 upon thine headH7218 and upon thy beardH2206: then takeH3947 thee balancesH3976 to weighH4948, and divideH2505 the hair.
Thou shalt burnH1197 with fireH217 a third partH7992 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, when the daysH3117 of the siegeH4692 are fulfilledH4390: and thou shalt takeH3947 a third partH7992, and smiteH5221 aboutH5439 it with a knifeH2719: and a third partH7992 thou shalt scatterH2219 in the windH7307; and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
Thou shalt also takeH3947 thereof a fewH4592 in numberH4557, and bindH6696 them in thy skirtsH3671. {skirts: Heb. wings}
Then take of them againH3947, and castH7993 them into the midstH8432 of the fireH784, and burnH8313 them in the fireH784; for thereof shall a fireH784 come forthH3318 into all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; This is JerusalemH3389: I have setH7760 it in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471 and countriesH776 that are round aboutH5439 her.
And she hath changedH4784 my judgmentsH4941 into wickednessH7564 more than the nationsH1471, and my statutesH2708 more than the countriesH776 that are round aboutH5439 her: for they have refusedH3988 my judgmentsH4941 and my statutesH2708, they have not walkedH1980 in them.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye multipliedH1995 more than the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you, and have not walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708, neither have keptH6213 my judgmentsH4941, neither have doneH6213 according to the judgmentsH4941 of the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you;
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will executeH6213 judgmentsH4941 in the midstH8432 of thee in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471.
And I will doH6213 in thee that which I have not doneH6213, and whereunto I will not doH6213 any more the like, becauseH3282 of all thine abominationsH8441.
Therefore the fathersH1 shall eatH398 the sonsH1121 in the midstH8432 of thee, and the sonsH1121 shall eatH398 their fathersH1; and I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in thee, and the whole remnantH7611 of thee will I scatterH2219 into all the windsH7307.
Wherefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely, because thou hast defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 with all thy detestable thingsH8251, and with all thine abominationsH8441, therefore will I also diminishH1639 thee; neither shall mine eyeH5869 spareH2347, neither will I have any pityH2550.
A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191 with the pestilenceH1698, and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 of thee: and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and I will scatterH2219 a third partH7992 into all the windsH7307, and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
Thus shall mine angerH639 be accomplishedH3615, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon them, and I will be comfortedH5162: and they shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it in my zealH7068, when I have accomplishedH3615 my furyH2534 in them.
Moreover I will makeH5414 thee wasteH2723, and a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, in the sightH5869 of all that pass byH5674.
So it shall be a reproachH2781 and a tauntH1422, an instructionH4148 and an astonishmentH4923 unto the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, when I shall executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in thee in angerH639 and in furyH2534 and in furiousH2534 rebukesH8433. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
When I shall sendH7971 upon them the evilH7451 arrowsH2671 of famineH7458, which shall be for their destructionH4889, and which I will sendH7971 to destroyH7843 you: and I will increaseH3254 the famineH7458 upon you, and will breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899:
So will I sendH7971 upon you famineH7458 and evilH7451 beastsH2416, and they shall bereaveH7921 thee; and pestilenceH1698 and bloodH1818 shall pass throughH5674 thee; and I will bringH935 the swordH2719 upon thee. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.

Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592+H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870. {as if…: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
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.
They have moved me to jealousyH7065 with that which is notH3808 GodH410; they have provoked me to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: and I will move them to jealousyH7065 with those which are not a peopleH5971; I will provoke them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471.
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}
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
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.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they have not grievedH2342; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
WhoG3748 changedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 intoG1722 a lieG5579, andG2532 worshippedG4573 andG2532 servedG3000 the creatureG2937 more thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, whoG3739 isG2076 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {more: or, rather}
Why then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetualH5329 backslidingH4878? they holdH2388 fast deceitH8649, they refuseH3985 to returnH7725.
It is reportedG191 commonlyG3654 that there is fornicationG4202 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 suchG5108 fornicationG4202 asG3748 isG3687 not so muchG3761 as namedG3687 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, thatG5620 oneG5100 should haveG2192 his father'sG3962 wifeG1135.
Thine habitationH3427 is in the midstH8432 of deceitH4820; through deceitH4820 they refuseH3985 to knowH3045 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ForG1063 there are certainG5100 menG444 crept in unawaresG3921, whoG3588 were beforeG4270 of oldG3819 ordainedG4270 toG1519 thisG5124 condemnationG2917, ungodly menG765, turningG3346 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 GodG2316 intoG1519 lasciviousnessG766, andG2532 denyingG720 the onlyG3441 LordG1203 GodG2316, andG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
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.
