Then cameH935 certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 unto me, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, these menH582 have set upH5927 their idolsH1544 in their heartH3820, and putH5414 the stumblingblockH4383 of their iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 their faceH6440: should I be enquiredH1875 of at allH1875 by them?
Therefore speakH1696 unto them, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Every manH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that setteth upH5927 his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, and puttethH7760 the stumblingblockH4383 of his iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 his faceH6440, and comethH935 to the prophetH5030; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him that comethH935 according to the multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544;
That I may takeH8610 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 in their own heartH3820, because they are all estrangedH2114 from me through their idolsH1544.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; RepentH7725, and turnH7725 yourselves from your idolsH1544; and turn awayH7725 your facesH6440 from all your abominationsH8441. {yourselves: or, others}
For every oneH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 in IsraelH3478, which separatethH5144 himself from meH310, and setteth upH5927 his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, and puttethH7760 the stumblingblockH4383 of his iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 his faceH6440, and comethH935 to a prophetH5030 to enquireH1875 of him concerning me; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him by myself:
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against that manH376, and will makeH8074 him a signH226 and a proverbH4912, and I will cut him offH3772 from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And if the prophetH5030 be deceivedH6601 when he hath spokenH1696 a thingH1697, I the LORDH3068 have deceivedH6601 that prophetH5030, and I will stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon him, and will destroyH8045 him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
And they shall bearH5375 the punishment of their iniquityH5771: the punishmentH5771 of the prophetH5030 shall be even as the punishmentH5771 of him that seekethH1875 unto him;
That the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 may go no more astrayH8582 from meH310, neither be pollutedH2930 any more with all their transgressionsH6588; but that they may be my peopleH5971, and I may be their GodH430, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the landH776 sinnethH2398 against me by trespassingH4603 grievouslyH4604, then will I stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon it, and will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of the breadH3899 thereof, and will sendH7971 famineH7458 upon it, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
Though these threeH7969 menH582, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, they should deliverH5337 but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
IfH3863 I cause noisomeH7451 beastsH2416 to pass throughH5674 the landH776, and they spoilH7921 it, so that it be desolateH8077, that no man may pass throughH5674 becauseH6440 of the beastsH2416: {spoil: or, bereave}
Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323; they only shall be deliveredH5337, but the landH776 shall be desolateH8077. {in it: Heb. in the midst of it}
Or if I bringH935 a swordH2719 upon that landH776, and sayH559, SwordH2719, go throughH5674 the landH776; so that I cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, but they only shall be deliveredH5337 themselves.
Or if I sendH7971 a pestilenceH1698 into that landH776, and pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon it in bloodH1818, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929:
Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971 my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? {How…: or, Also when}
Yet, behold, therein shall be leftH3498 a remnantH6413 that shall be brought forthH3318, both sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323: behold, they shall come forthH3318 unto you, and ye shall seeH7200 their wayH1870 and their doingsH5949: and ye shall be comfortedH5162 concerning the evilH7451 that I have broughtH935 upon JerusalemH3389, even concerning all that I have broughtH935 upon it.
And they shall comfortH5162 you, when ye seeH7200 their waysH1870 and their doingsH5949: and ye shall knowH3045 that I have not doneH6213 without causeH2600 all that I have doneH6213 in it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against the shepherdsH7462; and I will requireH1875 my flockH6629 at their handH3027, and cause them to ceaseH7673 from feedingH7462 the flockH6629; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 themselves any more; for I will deliverH5337 my flockH6629 from their mouthH6310, that they may not be meatH402 for them.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I, even I, will both searchH1875 my sheepH6629, and seek them outH1239.
As a shepherdH7462 seeketh outH1243 his flockH5739 in the dayH3117 that he is amongH8432 his sheepH6629 that are scatteredH6567; so will I seek outH1239 my sheepH6629, and will deliverH5337 them out of all placesH4725 where they have been scatteredH6327 in the cloudyH6051 and darkH6205 dayH3117. {As…: Heb. According to the seeking}
And I will bring them outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776, and will bringH935 them to their own landH127, and feedH7462 them upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 by the riversH650, and in all the inhabited placesH4186 of the countryH776.
I will feedH7462 them in a goodH2896 pastureH4829, and upon the highH4791 mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall their foldH5116 be: there shall they lieH7257 in a goodH2896 foldH5116, and in a fatH8082 pastureH4829 shall they feedH7462 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478.
I will feedH7462 my flockH6629, and I will cause them to lie downH7257, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
I will seekH1245 that which was lostH6, and bring againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, and will bind upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, and will strengthenH2388 that which was sickH2470: but I will destroyH8045 the fatH8082 and the strongH2389; I will feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941.
And as for youH859, O my flockH6629, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716, between the ramsH352 and the he goatsH6260. {cattle: Heb. small cattle of lambs and kids} {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
Seemeth it a small thingH4592 unto you to have eaten upH7462 the goodH2896 pastureH4829, but ye must tread downH7429 with your feetH7272 the residueH3499 of your pasturesH4829? and to have drunkH8354 of the deepH4950 watersH4325, but ye must foulH7515 the residueH3498 with your feetH7272?
And as for my flockH6629, they eatH7462 that which ye have troddenH4823 with your feetH7272; and they drinkH8354 that which ye have fouledH4833 with your feetH7272.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judgeH8199 between the fatH1274 cattleH7716 and between the leanH7330 cattleH7716.
Because ye have thrustH1920 with sideH6654 and with shoulderH3802, and pushedH5055 all the diseasedH2470 with your hornsH7161, till ye have scatteredH6327 them abroadH2351;
Therefore will I saveH3467 my flockH6629, and they shall no more be a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716.
And I will set upH6965 oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732; he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherdH7462.
And I the LORDH3068 will be their GodH430, and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
And I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965, and will cause the evilH7451 beastsH2416 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776: and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 in the wildernessH4057, and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3293+H3264.
And I will makeH5414 them and the places round aboutH5439 my hillH1389 a blessingH1293; and I will cause the showerH1653 to come downH3381 in his seasonH6256; there shall be showersH1653 of blessingH1293.
And the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 her fruitH6529, and the earthH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and they shall be safeH983 in their landH127, and shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of their yokeH5923, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of those that servedH5647 themselves of them.
And they shall no more be a preyH957 to the heathenH1471, neither shall the beastH2416 of the landH776 devourH398 them; but they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
And I will raise upH6965 for them a plantH4302 of renownH8034, and they shall be no more consumedH622 with hungerH7458 in the landH776, neither bearH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more. {of renown: or, for renown} {consumed: Heb. taken away}
Thus shall they knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 their GodH430 am with them, and that they, even the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And yeH859 my flockH6629, the flockH6629 of my pastureH4830, are menH120, and I am your GodH430, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And they shall comeH935 thither, and they shall take awayH5493 all the detestable thingsH8251 thereof and all the abominationsH8441 thereof from thence.
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and I will putH5414 a newH2319 spiritH7307 withinH7130 you; and I will takeH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of their fleshH1320, and will giveH5414 them an heartH3820 of fleshH1320:
That they may walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 mine ordinancesH4941, and doH6213 them: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430.
Thus shall they knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 their GodH430 am with them, and that they, even the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And the LevitesH3881 that are gone away farH7368 from me, when IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, which went astray awayH8582 from me afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall even bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
I will also saveH3467 you from all your uncleannessesH2932: and I will callH7121 for the cornH1715, and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 no famineH7458 upon you.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582 from me, they shall come nearH7126 to me to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 me to offerH7126 unto me the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069:
Neither shall they defileH2930 themselves any more with their idolsH1544, nor with their detestable thingsH8251, nor with any of their transgressionsH6588: but I will saveH3467 them out of all their dwellingplacesH4186, wherein they have sinnedH2398, and will cleanseH2891 them: so shall they be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430.
My tabernacleH4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
It shall be for the priestsH3548 that are sanctifiedH6942 of the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659; which have keptH8104 my chargeH4931, which went not astrayH8582 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, as the LevitesH3881 went astrayH8582. {It…: or, The sanctified portion shall be for the priests} {charge: or, ward, or, ordinance}
So the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and shall doH6213 no moreH3254 anyH1697 such wickednessH7451 as this is amongH7130 you.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And those which remainH7604 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and shall henceforthH3254 commitH6213 no more anyH1697 such evilH7451 amongH7130 you.
Which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the ironH1270 furnaceH3564, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and doH6213 them, according to all which I commandH6680 you: so shall ye be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430:
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104. {the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
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}
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
My peopleH5971 hath been lostH6 sheepH6629: their shepherdsH7462 have caused them to go astrayH8582, they have turned them awayH7725+H7726 on the mountainsH2022: they have goneH1980 from mountainH2022 to hillH1389, they have forgottenH7911 their restingplaceH7258. {restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
ForG3754 thisG3778 is the covenantG1242 thatG3739 I will makeG1303 with the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 afterG3326 thoseG1565 daysG2250, saithG3004 the LordG2962; I will putG1325 myG3450 lawsG3551 intoG1519 theirG846 mindG1271, andG2532 writeG1924 themG846 inG1909 theirG846 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will beG2071 toG1519 themG846 a GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 toG1519 meG3427 a peopleG2992: {put: Gr. give} {in: or, upon}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
