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.

The soulH5315 that sinnethH2398, it shall dieH4191.

All his transgressionsH6588 that he hath committedH6213, they shall not be mentionedH2142 unto him: in his righteousnessH6666 that he hath doneH6213 he shall liveH2421.
He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869: yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.
In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194: and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. {power: Heb. hands}

Behold, the eyeH5869 of the LORDH3068 is upon them that fearH3373 him, upon them that hopeH3176 in his mercyH2617;
SayH559 ye to the righteousH6662, that it shall be wellH2896 with him: for they shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611.
