Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.
Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.
Those that be nearH7138, and those that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, which art infamousH2931+H8034 and muchH7227 vexedH4103. {infamous…: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}
Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. {power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers'H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.
And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father'sH1 daughterH1323. {one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee.
Can thine heartH3820 endureH5975, or can thine handsH3027 be strongH2388, in the daysH3117 that I shall dealH6213 with thee? I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and will doH6213 it.
And I will scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritanceH2490+H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {shalt take…: or, shalt be profaned}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto her, Thou art the landH776 that is not cleansedH2891, nor rainedH1656 upon in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195.
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
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.
The peopleH5971 of the landH776 have used oppressionH6231+H6233, and exercisedH1497 robberyH1498, and have vexedH3238 the poorH6041 and needyH34: yea, they have oppressedH6231 the strangerH1616 wrongfullyH4941. {oppression: or, deceit} {wrongfully: Heb. without right}
And I soughtH1245 for a manH376 among them, that should make upH1443 the hedgeH1447, and standH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 me for the landH776, that I should not destroyH7843 it: but I foundH4672 none.
Therefore have I poured outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon them; I have consumedH3615 them with the fireH784 of my wrathH5678: their own wayH1870 have I recompensedH5414 upon their headsH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were sonsH1121 of BelialH1100; they knewH3045 not the LORDH3068.
And the priests'H3548 customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, that, when any manH376 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, while the fleshH1320 was in seethingH1310, with a fleshhookH4207 of threeH7969 teethH8127 in his handH3027;
And he struckH5221 it into the panH3595, or kettleH1731, or caldronH7037, or potH6517; all that the fleshhookH4207 brought upH5927 the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. So they didH6213 in ShilohH7887 unto all the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 thither.
Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416.
And if any manH376 saidH559 unto him, Let them not failH6999 to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presentlyH3117, and then takeH3947 as much as thy soulH5315 desirethH183; then he would answerH559 him, Nay; but thou shalt giveH5414 it me now: and if not, I will takeH3947 it by forceH2394. {presently: Heb. as on the day}
Wherefore the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORDH3068.
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121, that they separateH5144 themselves from the holy thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and that they profaneH2490 not my holyH6944 nameH8034 in those things which they hallowH6942 unto me: I am the LORDH3068.
SayH559 unto them, WhosoeverH376 he be of all your seedH2233 among your generationsH1755, that goethH7126 unto the holy thingsH6944, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 hallowH6942 unto the LORDH3068, having his uncleannessH2932 upon him, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from my presenceH6440: I am the LORDH3068.
What man soeverH376 of the seedH2233 of AaronH175 is a leperH6879, or hath a running issueH2100; he shall not eatH398 of the holy thingsH6944, until he be cleanH2891. And whoso touchethH5060 any thing that is uncleanH2931 by the deadH5315, or a manH376 whose seedH2233+H7902 goethH3318 from him; {running…: Heb. running of the reins}
Or whosoeverH376 touchethH5060 any creeping thingH8318, whereby he may be made uncleanH2930, or a manH120 of whom he may take uncleannessH2930, whatsoever uncleannessH2932 he hath;
The soulH5315 which hath touchedH5060 any such shall be uncleanH2930 until evenH6153, and shall not eatH398 of the holy thingsH6944, unlessH518 he washH7364 his fleshH1320 with waterH4325.
And when the sunH8121 is downH935, he shall be cleanH2891, and shall afterwardH310 eatH398 of the holy thingsH6944; because it is his foodH3899.
That which dieth of itselfH5038, or is tornH2966 with beasts, he shall not eatH398 to defileH2930 himself therewith: I am the LORDH3068.
They shall therefore keepH8104 mine ordinanceH4931, lest they bearH5375 sinH2399 for it, and dieH4191 therefore, if they profaneH2490 it: I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them.
There shall no strangerH2114 eatH398 of the holy thingH6944: a sojournerH8453 of the priestH3548, or an hired servantH7916, shall not eatH398 of the holy thingH6944.
But if the priestH3548 buyH7069 any soulH5315 withH7075 his moneyH3701, he shall eatH398 of it, and he that is bornH3211 in his houseH1004: they shall eatH398 of his meatH3899. {with…: Heb. with the purchase of his money}
If the priest'sH3548 daughterH1323 also be married unto a strangerH376+H2114, she may not eatH398 of an offeringH8641 of the holy thingsH6944. {a stranger: Heb. a man a stranger}
But if the priest'sH3548 daughterH1323 be a widowH490, or divorcedH1644, and have no childH2233, and is returnedH7725 unto her father'sH1 houseH1004, as in her youthH5271, she shall eatH398 of her father'sH1 meatH3899: but there shall no strangerH2114 eatH398 thereof.
And if a manH376 eatH398 of the holy thingH6944 unwittinglyH7684, then he shall putH3254 the fifthH2549 part thereof unto it, and shall giveH5414 it unto the priestH3548 with the holy thingH6944.
And they shall not profaneH2490 the holy thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which they offerH7311 unto the LORDH3068;
Or suffer them to bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of trespassH819, when they eatH398 their holy thingsH6944: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them. {suffer…: or, lade themselves with the iniquity of trespass in their eating}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175, and to his sonsH1121, and unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, WhatsoeverH376 he be of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangersH1616 in IsraelH3478, that will offerH7126 his oblationH7133 for all his vowsH5088, and for all his freewill offeringsH5071, which they will offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068 for a burnt offeringH5930;
Ye shall offer at your own willH7522 a maleH2145 without blemishH8549, of the beevesH1241, of the sheepH3775, or of the goatsH5795.
But whatsoever hath a blemishH3971, that shall ye not offerH7126: for it shall not be acceptableH7522 for you.
And whosoeverH376 offerethH7126 a sacrificeH2077 of peace offeringsH8002 unto the LORDH3068 to accomplishH6381 his vowH5088, or a freewill offeringH5071 in beevesH1241 or sheepH6629, it shall be perfectH8549 to be acceptedH7522; there shall be no blemishH3971 therein. {sheep: or, goats}
BlindH5788, or brokenH7665, or maimedH2782, or having a wenH2990, or scurvyH1618, or scabbedH3217, ye shall not offerH7126 these unto the LORDH3068, nor makeH5414 an offering by fireH801 of them upon the altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068.
Either a bullockH7794 or a lambH7716 that hath any thing superfluousH8311 or lacking in his partsH7038, that mayest thou offerH6213 for a freewill offeringH5071; but for a vowH5088 it shall not be acceptedH7521. {lamb: or, kid}
Ye shall not offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068 that which is bruisedH4600, or crushedH3807, or brokenH5423, or cutH3772; neither shall ye makeH6213 any offering thereof in your landH776.
Neither from a stranger'sH5236 handH3027+H1121 shall ye offerH7126 the breadH3899 of your GodH430 of any of these; because their corruptionH4893 is in them, and blemishesH3971 be in them: they shall not be acceptedH7521 for you.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
When a bullockH7794, or a sheepH3775, or a goatH5795, is brought forthH3205, then it shall be sevenH7651 daysH3117 under the damH517; and from the eighthH8066 dayH3117 and thenceforthH1973 it shall be acceptedH7521 for an offeringH7133 made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And whether it be cowH7794 or eweH7716, ye shall not killH7819 it and her youngH1121 both in oneH259 dayH3117. {ewe: or, she goat}
And when ye will offerH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of thanksgivingH8426 unto the LORDH3068, offerH2076 it at your own willH7522.
On the same dayH3117 it shall be eaten upH398; ye shall leaveH3498 none of it until the morrowH1242: I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore shall ye keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them: I am the LORDH3068.
Neither shall ye profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034; but I will be hallowedH6942 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: I am the LORDH3068 which hallowH6942 you,
That brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
And they shall teachH3384 my peopleH5971 the difference between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, and cause them to discernH3045 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889.
And when they enteredH935 unto the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935, they profanedH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034, when they saidH559 to them, These are the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and are gone forthH3318 out of his landH776.
Now EliH5941 was veryH3966 oldH2204, and heardH8085 all that his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto all IsraelH3478; and how they layH7901 with the womenH802 that assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {assembled: Heb. assembled by troops}
Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416.
And NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, tookH3947 eitherH376 of them his censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 thereinH2004, and putH7760 incenseH7004 thereon, and offeredH7126 strangeH2114 fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680 them not.
And there went outH3318 fireH784 from the LORDH3068, and devouredH398 them, and they diedH4191 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
Then MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, This is it that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696, sayingH559, I will be sanctifiedH6942 in them that come nighH7138 me, and beforeH6440 all the peopleH5971 I will be glorifiedH3513. And AaronH175 held his peaceH1826.
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
ForG1063 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 is blasphemedG987 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484 throughG1223 youG5209, asG2531 it is writtenG1125.
The priestsH3548 saidH559 not, Where is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 me not: the pastorsH7462 also transgressedH6586 against me, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do not profitH3276.
Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
And that ye may put differenceH914 between holyH6944 and unholyH2455, and between uncleanH2931 and cleanH2889;
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
As the thiefH1590 is ashamedH1322 when he is foundH4672, so is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 ashamedH3001; they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, and their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030,
To make a differenceH914 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and between the beastH2416 that may be eatenH398 and the beastH2416 that may not be eatenH398.
SayingH559 to a stockH6086, Thou art my fatherH1; and to a stoneH68, Thou hast brought me forthH3205: for they have turnedH6437 their backH6203 unto me, and not their faceH6440: but in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451 they will sayH559, AriseH6965, and saveH3467 us. {brought…: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
Ye shall therefore put differenceH914 between cleanH2889 beastsH929 and uncleanH2931, and between uncleanH2931 fowlsH5775 and cleanH2889: and ye shall not make your soulsH5315 abominableH8262 by beastH929, or by fowlH5775, or by any manner of living thing that creepethH7430 on the groundH127, which I have separatedH914 from you as uncleanH2930. {creepeth: or, moveth}
For the sinsH2403 of her prophetsH5030, and the iniquitiesH5771 of her priestsH3548, that have shedH8210 the bloodH1818 of the justH6662 in the midstH7130 of her,
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, If thou returnH7725, then will I bring thee againH7725, and thou shalt standH5975 beforeH6440 me: and if thou take forthH3318 the preciousH3368 from the vileH2151, thou shalt be as my mouthH6310: let them returnH7725 unto thee; but returnH7725 not thou unto them.
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AskH7592 now the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559,
If oneH376 bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Therefore shall ZionH6726 for your sakeH1558 be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of the forestH3293.
Her princesH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061; they gnaw not the bonesH1633 till the morrowH1242.
Her prophetsH5030 are lightH6348 and treacherousH900 personsH582: her priestsH3548 have pollutedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they have done violenceH2554 to the lawH8451.
A sonH1121 honourethH3513 his fatherH1, and a servantH5650 his masterH113: if then I be a fatherH1, where is mine honourH3519? and if I be a masterH113, where is my fearH4172? saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 unto you, O priestsH3548, that despiseH959 my nameH8034. And ye sayH559, Wherein have we despisedH959 thy nameH8034?
Ye offerH5066 pollutedH1351 breadH3899 upon mine altarH4196; and ye sayH559, Wherein have we pollutedH1351 thee? In that ye sayH559, The tableH7979 of the LORDH3068 is contemptibleH959. {offer…: or, bring unto, etc}
And if ye offerH5066 the blindH5787 for sacrificeH2076, is it not evilH7451? and if ye offerH5066 the lameH6455 and sickH2470, is it not evilH7451? offerH7126 it now unto thy governorH6346; will he be pleasedH7521 with thee, or acceptH5375 thy personH6440? saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {for: Heb. to}
And now, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for you.
If ye will not hearH8085, and if ye will not layH7760 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 a curseH3994 upon you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have cursedH779 them already, because ye do not layH7760 it to heartH3820.
Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one…: or, it shall take you away to it}
