The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 also came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, thou dwellestH3427 in the midstH8432 of a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, which have eyesH5869 to seeH7200, and seeH7200 not; they have earsH241 to hearH8085, and hearH8085 not: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prepareH6213 thee stuffH3627 for removingH1473, and removeH1540 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869; and thou shalt removeH1540 from thy placeH4725 to anotherH312 placeH4725 in their sightH5869: it may be they will considerH7200, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. {stuff: or, instruments}
Then shalt thou bring forthH3318 thy stuffH3627 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869, as stuffH3627 for removingH1473: and thou shalt go forthH3318 at evenH6153 in their sightH5869, as they that go forthH4161 into captivityH1473. {as they…: Heb. as the goings forth of captivity}
DigH2864 thou through the wallH7023 in their sightH5869, and carry outH3318 thereby. {Dig…: Heb. Dig for thee}
In their sightH5869 shalt thou bearH5375 it upon thy shouldersH3802, and carry it forthH3318 in the twilightH5939: thou shalt coverH3680 thy faceH6440, that thou seeH7200 not the groundH776: for I have setH5414 thee for a signH4159 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
And I didH6213 so as I was commandedH6680: I brought forthH3318 my stuffH3627 by dayH3119, as stuffH3627 for captivityH1473, and in the evenH6153 I diggedH2864 through the wallH7023 with mine handH3027; I brought it forthH3318 in the twilightH5939, and I bareH5375 it upon my shoulderH3802 in their sightH5869. {digged: Heb. digged for me}
And in the morningH1242 came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, hath not the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, saidH559 unto thee, What doestH6213 thou?
SayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; This burdenH4853 concerneth the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that are amongH8432 them.
SayH559, I am your signH4159: like as I have doneH6213, so shall it be doneH6213 unto them: they shall removeH1473 and goH3212 into captivityH7628. {they…: Heb. by removing go into captivity}
And the princeH5387 that is amongH8432 them shall bearH5375 upon his shoulderH3802 in the twilightH5939, and shall go forthH3318: they shall digH2864 through the wallH7023 to carry outH3318 thereby: he shall coverH3680 his faceH6440, thatH3282 he seeH7200 not the groundH776 with his eyesH5869.
My netH7568 also will I spreadH6566 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686: and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 to the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet shall he not seeH7200 it, though he shall dieH4191 there.
And I will scatterH2219 toward every windH7307 all that are aboutH5439 him to helpH5828 him, and all his bandsH102; and I will draw outH7324 the swordH2719 afterH310 them.
And they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall scatterH6327 them among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 them in the countriesH776.
But I will leaveH3498 a fewH4557 menH582 of them from the swordH2719, from the famineH7458, and from the pestilenceH1698; that they may declareH5608 all their abominationsH8441 among the heathenH1471 whither they comeH935; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a few…: Heb. men of number}
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with quakingH7494, and drinkH8354 thy waterH4325 with tremblingH7269 and with carefulnessH1674;
And sayH559 unto the peopleH5971 of the landH127, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and of the landH776 of IsraelH3478; They shall eatH398 their breadH3899 with carefulnessH1674, and drinkH8354 their waterH4325 with astonishmentH8078, that her landH776 may be desolateH3456 from all that is thereinH4393, because of the violenceH2555 of all them that dwellH3427 therein. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
And the citiesH5892 that are inhabitedH3427 shall be laid wasteH2717, and the landH776 shall be desolateH8077; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, what is that proverbH4912 that ye have in the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The daysH3117 are prolongedH748, and every visionH2377 failethH6?
TellH559 them therefore, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will make this proverbH4912 to ceaseH7673, and they shall no more use it as a proverbH4911 in IsraelH3478; but sayH1696 unto them, The daysH3117 are at handH7126, and the effectH1697 of every visionH2377.
For there shall be no more any vainH7723 visionH2377 nor flatteringH2509 divinationH4738 withinH8432 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
For I am the LORDH3068: I will speakH1696, and the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 shall come to passH6213; it shall be no more prolongedH4900: for in your daysH3117, O rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, will I sayH1696 the wordH1697, and will performH6213 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, they of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 sayH559, The visionH2377 that he seethH2372 is for manyH7227 daysH3117 to come, and he prophesiethH5012 of the timesH6256 that are farH7350 off.
Therefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; There shall none of my wordsH1697 be prolongedH4900 any more, but the wordH1697 which I have spokenH1696 shall be doneH6213, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

SayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; This burdenH4853 concerneth the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that are amongH8432 them.
SayH559, I am your signH4159: like as I have doneH6213, so shall it be doneH6213 unto them: they shall removeH1473 and goH3212 into captivityH7628. {they…: Heb. by removing go into captivity}
And the princeH5387 that is amongH8432 them shall bearH5375 upon his shoulderH3802 in the twilightH5939, and shall go forthH3318: they shall digH2864 through the wallH7023 to carry outH3318 thereby: he shall coverH3680 his faceH6440, thatH3282 he seeH7200 not the groundH776 with his eyesH5869.
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
Thou also, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a tileH3843, and layH5414 it beforeH6440 thee, and pourtrayH2710 upon it the cityH5892, even JerusalemH3389:
And layH5414 siegeH4692 against it, and buildH1129 a fortH1785 against it, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against it; setH5414 the campH4264 also against it, and setH7760 battering ramsH3733 against it round aboutH5439. {battering…: chief leaders}
Moreover takeH3947 thou unto thee an ironH1270 panH4227, and setH5414 it for a wallH7023 of ironH1270 between thee and the cityH5892: and setH3559 thy faceH6440 against it, and it shall be besiegedH4692, and thou shalt lay siegeH6696 against it. This shall be a signH226 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. {an…: or, a flat plate, or, slice}
LieH7901 thou also upon thy leftH8042 sideH6654, and layH7760 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 upon it: according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon it thou shalt bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
For I have laidH5414 upon thee the yearsH8141 of their iniquityH5771, according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117: so shalt thou bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
And when thou hast accomplishedH3615 themH428, lieH7901 againH8145 on thy rightH3233+H3227 sideH6654, and thou shalt bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 fortyH705 daysH3117: I have appointedH5414 thee each dayH3117+H3117 for a yearH8141+H8141. {each…: Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year}
Therefore thou shalt setH3559 thy faceH6440 toward the siegeH4692 of JerusalemH3389, and thine armH2220 shall be uncoveredH2834, and thou shalt prophesyH5012 against it.
And, behold, I will layH5414 bandsH5688 upon thee, and thou shalt not turnH2015 thee from one sideH6654 to anotherH6654, till thou hast endedH3615 the daysH3117 of thy siegeH4692. {from one…: Heb. from thy side to thy side}
TakeH3947 thou also unto thee wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and beansH6321, and lentilesH5742, and milletH1764, and fitchesH3698, and putH5414 them in oneH259 vesselH3627, and makeH6213 thee breadH3899 thereof, according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon thy sideH6654, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117 shalt thou eatH398 thereof. {fitches: or, spelt}
And thy meatH3978 which thou shalt eatH398 shall be by weightH4946, twentyH6242 shekelsH8255 a dayH3117: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou eatH398 it.
Thou shalt drinkH8354 also waterH4325 by measureH4884, the sixth partH8345 of an hinH1969: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou drinkH8354.
And thou shalt eatH398 it as barleyH8184 cakesH5692, and thou shalt bakeH5746 it with dungH1561 that cometh outH6627 of manH120, in their sightH5869.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Even thus shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 eatH398 their defiledH2931 breadH3899 among the GentilesH1471, whither I will driveH5080 them.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, my soulH5315 hath not been pollutedH2930: for from my youthH5271 up even till now have I not eatenH398 of that which dieth of itselfH5038, or is torn in piecesH2966; neither cameH935 there abominableH6292 fleshH1320 into my mouthH6310.
Then he saidH559 unto me, LoH7200, I have givenH5414 thee cow'sH1241 dungH6832+H6832 for man'sH120 dungH1561, and thou shalt prepareH6213 thy breadH3899 therewith.
Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of breadH3899 in JerusalemH3389: and they shall eatH398 breadH3899 by weightH4948, and with careH1674; and they shall drinkH8354 waterH4325 by measureH4884, and with astonishmentH8078:
That they may wantH2637 breadH3899 and waterH4325, and be astoniedH8074 oneH376 with anotherH251, and consume awayH4743 for their iniquityH5771.
O that there were suchH2088 anH4310 heartH3824 in themH5414, that they would fearH3372 me, and keepH8104 all my commandmentsH4687 alwaysH3117, that it might be wellH3190 with them, and with their childrenH1121 for everH5769!
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, GoH1980 and getH7069 thee a linenH6593 girdleH232, and putH7760 it upon thy loinsH4975, and putH935 it not in waterH4325.
So I gotH7069 a girdleH232 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and putH7760 it on my loinsH4975.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 the girdleH232 that thou hast gotH7069, which is upon thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, goH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and hideH2934 it there in a holeH5357 of the rockH5553.
So I wentH3212, and hidH2934 it by EuphratesH6578, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 me.
And it came to pass afterH7093 manyH7227 daysH3117, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, goH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and takeH3947 the girdleH232 from thence, which I commandedH6680 thee to hideH2934 there.
Then I wentH3212 to EuphratesH6578, and diggedH2658, and tookH3947 the girdleH232 from the placeH4725 where I had hidH2934 it: and, behold, the girdleH232 was marredH7843, it was profitableH6743 for nothing.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, After this manner will I marH7843 the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389.
This evilH7451 peopleH5971, which refuseH3987 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, which walkH1980 in the imaginationH8307 of their heartH3820, and walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall even be as this girdleH232, which is goodH6743 for nothing. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
For as the girdleH232 cleavethH1692 to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, so have I caused to cleaveH1692 unto me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that they might be unto me for a peopleH5971, and for a nameH8034, and for a praiseH8416, and for a gloryH8597: but they would not hearH8085.
O thatH3863 they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH7919 this, that they would considerH995 their latter endH319!
AriseH6965, and go downH3381 to the potter'sH3335 houseH1004, and there I will cause thee to hearH8085 my wordsH1697.
Then I went downH3381 to the potter'sH3335 houseH1004, and, beholdH2009, he wroughtH6213 a workH4399 on the wheelsH70. {wheels: or, frames, or, seats}
And the vesselH3627 that he madeH6213 of clayH2563 was marredH7843 in the handH3027 of the potterH3335: so he madeH6213 it againH7725 anotherH312 vesselH3627, as seemedH5869 goodH3474 to the potterH3335 to makeH6213 it. {of clay…: or, was marred, as clay in the hand of the potter} {made it…: Heb. returned and made, etc}
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannotH3201 I doH6213 with you as this potterH3335? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Behold, as the clayH2563 is in the potter'sH3335 handH3027, so are ye in mine handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190.
And they saidH559, There is no hopeH2976: but we will walkH3212 afterH310 our own devicesH4284, and we will every oneH376 doH6213 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.
OhH3863 that my peopleH5971 had hearkenedH8085 unto me, and IsraelH3478 had walkedH1980 in my waysH1870!
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, GoH1980 and getH7069 a potter'sH3335 earthenH2789 bottleH1228, and take of the ancientsH2205 of the peopleH5971, and of the ancientsH2205 of the priestsH3548;
And go forthH3318 unto the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, which is by the entryH6607 of the eastH2777 gateH8179, and proclaimH7121 there the wordsH1697 that I shall tellH1696 thee, {the east…: Heb. the sun gate}
And sayH559, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, the which whosoever hearethH8085, his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have estrangedH5234 this placeH4725, and have burned incenseH6999 in it unto otherH312 godsH430, whom neither they nor their fathersH1 have knownH3045, nor the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and have filledH4390 this placeH4725 with the bloodH1818 of innocentsH5355;
They have builtH1129 also the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, to burnH8313 their sonsH1121 with fireH784 for burnt offeringsH5930 unto BaalH1168, which I commandedH6680 not, nor spakeH1696 it, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820:
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that this placeH4725 shall no more be calledH7121 TophetH8612, nor The valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, but The valleyH1516 of slaughterH2028.
And I will make voidH1238 the counselH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in this placeH4725; and I will cause them to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and by the handsH3027 of them that seekH1245 their livesH5315: and their carcasesH5038 will I giveH5414 to be meatH3978 for the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
And I will makeH7760 this cityH5892 desolateH8047, and an hissingH8322; every one that passethH5674 thereby shall be astonishedH8074 and hissH8319 because of all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
And I will cause them to eatH398 the fleshH1320 of their sonsH1121 and the fleshH1320 of their daughtersH1323, and they shall eatH398 every oneH376 the fleshH1320 of his friendH7453 in the siegeH4692 and straitnessH4689, wherewith their enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 their livesH5315, shall straitenH6693 them.
Then shalt thou breakH7665 the bottleH1228 in the sightH5869 of the menH582 that goH1980 with thee,
And shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Even soH3602 will I breakH7665 this peopleH5971 and this cityH5892, as one breakethH7665 a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627, that cannotH3201 be made whole againH7495: and they shall buryH6912 them in TophetH8612, till there be no placeH4725 to buryH6912. {be made…: Heb. be healed}
Thus will I doH6213 unto this placeH4725, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and to the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and even makeH5414 this cityH5892 as TophetH8612:
And the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and the housesH1004 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, shall be defiledH2931 as the placeH4725 of TophetH8612, because of all the housesH1004 upon whose roofsH1406 they have burned incenseH6999 unto all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and have poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto otherH312 godsH430.
Then cameH935 JeremiahH3414 from TophetH8612, whither the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 him to prophesyH5012; and he stoodH5975 in the courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004; and saidH559 to all the peopleH5971,
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.
Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to me; MakeH6213 thee bondsH4147 and yokesH4133, and putH5414 them upon thy neckH6677, {saith…: or, hath the LORD said}
And the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 unto you all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye have not hearkenedH8085, nor inclinedH5186 your earH241 to hearH8085.
They saidH559, Turn ye againH7725 now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and dwellH3427 in the landH127 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 unto you and to your fathersH1 forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769:
And goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, and provoke me not to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027; and I will do you no hurtH7489.
Yet ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that ye might provoke me to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027 to your own hurtH7451.
If so be they will hearkenH8085, and turnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, that I may repentH5162 me of the evilH7451, which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.
It may be that the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will hearH8085 all the evilH7451 which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them; that they may returnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; that I may forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403.
It may be they will presentH5307 their supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and will returnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870: for greatH1419 is the angerH639 and the furyH2534 that the LORDH3068 hath pronouncedH1696 against this peopleH5971. {they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, letG863 itG846 aloneG863 thisG5124 yearG2094 alsoG2532, tillG2193+G3755 I shall digG4626 aboutG4012 itG846, andG2532 dungG906+G2874 it:
And ifG2579+G3303 it bearG4160 fruitG2590, well: and if notG1490, then after thatG1519+G3195 thou shalt cutG1581 itG846 downG1581.
O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, whichG3588 killestG615 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 stonestG3036 them that are sentG649 untoG4314 theeG846; how oftenG4212 wouldG2309 I have gatheredG1996 thyG4675 childrenG5043 togetherG1996, asG3739+G5158 a henG3733 doth gather herG1438 broodG3555 underG5259 her wingsG4420, andG2532 ye wouldG2309 notG3756!
