Again in the ninthH8671 yearH8141, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, writeH3789 thee the nameH8034 of the dayH3117, even of this sameH6106 dayH3117: the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 setH5564 himself against JerusalemH3389 this sameH6106 dayH3117.
And utterH4911 a parableH4912 unto the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Set onH8239 a potH5518, set it onH8239, and also pourH3332 waterH4325 into it:
GatherH622 the piecesH5409 thereof into it, even every goodH2896 pieceH5409, the thighH3409, and the shoulderH3802; fillH4390 it with the choiceH4005 bonesH6106.
TakeH3947 the choiceH4005 of the flockH6629, and burnH1754 also the bonesH6106 under it, and make it boilH7570 wellH7571, and let them seetheH1310 the bonesH6106 of it thereinH8432. {burn: or, heap}
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892, to the potH5518 whose scumH2457 is therein, and whose scumH2457 is not gone outH3318 of it! bring it outH3318 pieceH5409 by pieceH5409; let no lotH1486 fallH5307 upon it.
For her bloodH1818 is in the midstH8432 of her; she setH7760 it upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553; she pouredH8210 it not upon the groundH776, to coverH3680 it with dustH6083;
That it might cause furyH2534 to come upH5927 to takeH5358 vengeanceH5359; I have setH5414 her bloodH1818 upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553, that it should not be coveredH3680.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! I will even make the pileH4071 for fire greatH1431.
HeapH7235 on woodH6086, kindleH1814 the fireH784, consumeH8552 the fleshH1320, and spiceH7543 it wellH4841, and let the bonesH6106 be burnedH2787.
Then setH5975 it emptyH7386 upon the coalsH1513 thereof, that the brassH5178 of it may be hotH3179, and may burnH2787, and that the filthinessH2932 of it may be moltenH5413 in itH8432, that the scumH2457 of it may be consumedH8552.
She hath weariedH3811 herself with liesH8383, and her greatH7227 scumH2457 went not forthH3318 out of her: her scumH2457 shall be in the fireH784.
In thy filthinessH2932 is lewdnessH2154: because I have purgedH2891 thee, and thou wast not purgedH2891, thou shalt not be purgedH2891 from thy filthinessH2932 any more, till I have caused my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon thee.
I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it: it shall come to passH935, and I will doH6213 it; I will not go backH6544, neither will I spareH2347, neither will I repentH5162; according to thy waysH1870, and according to thy doingsH5949, shall they judgeH8199 thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Also the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I take awayH3947 from thee the desireH4261 of thine eyesH5869 with a strokeH4046: yet neither shalt thou mournH5594 nor weepH1058, neither shall thy tearsH1832 run downH935. {run down: Heb. go}
ForbearH1826 to cryH602, makeH6213 no mourningH60 for the deadH4191, bindH2280 the tire of thine headH6287 upon thee, and put onH7760 thy shoesH5275 upon thy feetH7272, and coverH5844 not thy lipsH8222, and eatH398 not the breadH3899 of menH582. {Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}
So I spakeH1696 unto the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242: and at evenH6153 my wifeH802 diedH4191; and I didH6213 in the morningH1242 as I was commandedH6680.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto me, Wilt thou not tellH5046 us what these things are to us, that thou doestH6213 so?
Then I answeredH559 them, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will profaneH2490 my sanctuaryH4720, the excellencyH1347 of your strengthH5797, the desireH4261 of your eyesH5869, and that which your soulH5315 pitiethH4263; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 whom ye have leftH5800 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {that…: Heb. the pity of your soul}
And ye shall doH6213 as I have doneH6213: ye shall not coverH5844 your lipsH8222, nor eatH398 the breadH3899 of menH582.
And your tiresH6287 shall be upon your headsH7218, and your shoesH5275 upon your feetH7272: ye shall not mournH5594 nor weepH1058; but ye shall pine awayH4743 for your iniquitiesH5771, and mournH5098 oneH376 toward anotherH251.
Thus EzekielH3168 is unto you a signH4159: according to all that he hath doneH6213 shall ye doH6213: and when this comethH935, ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, shall it not be in the dayH3117 when I takeH3947 from them their strengthH4581, the joyH4885 of their gloryH8597, the desireH4261 of their eyesH5869, and that whereupon they setH4853 their mindsH5315, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, {that…: Heb. the lifting up of their soul}
That he that escapethH6412 in that dayH3117 shall comeH935 unto thee, to cause thee to hearH2045 it with thine earsH241?
In that dayH3117 shall thy mouthH6310 be openedH6605 to him which is escapedH6412, and thou shalt speakH1696, and be no more dumbH481: and thou shalt be a signH4159 unto them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.

Then setH5975 it emptyH7386 upon the coalsH1513 thereof, that the brassH5178 of it may be hotH3179, and may burnH2787, and that the filthinessH2932 of it may be moltenH5413 in itH8432, that the scumH2457 of it may be consumedH8552.
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto her, Thou art the landH776 that is not cleansedH2891, nor rainedH1656 upon in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195.
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.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 moreover unto me; SonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 AholahH170 and AholibahH172? yea, declareH5046 unto them their abominationsH8441; {judge: or, plead for}
That they have committed adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027, and with their idolsH1544 have they committed adulteryH5003, and have also caused their sonsH1121, whom they bareH3205 unto me, to pass for them throughH5674 the fire, to devourH402 them.
Moreover this they have doneH6213 unto me: they have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 in the same dayH3117, and have profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
For when they had slainH7819 their childrenH1121 to their idolsH1544, then they cameH935 the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it; and, lo, thus have they doneH6213 in the midstH8432 of mine houseH1004.
And furthermoreH637, that ye have sentH7971 for menH582 to comeH935 from farH4801, unto whom a messengerH4397 was sentH7971; and, lo, they cameH935: for whom thou didst washH7364 thyself, paintedstH3583 thy eyesH5869, and deckedstH5710 thyself with ornamentsH5716, {to come: Heb. coming}
And satestH3427 upon a statelyH3520 bedH4296, and a tableH7979 preparedH6186 beforeH6440 it, whereupon thou hast setH7760 mine incenseH7004 and mine oilH8081. {stately: Heb. honourable}
And a voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995 being at easeH7961 was with her: and with the menH582 of the common sortH7230+H120 were broughtH935 SabeansH5436+H5433 from the wildernessH4057, which putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon their handsH3027, and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 upon their headsH7218. {of the…: Heb. of the multitude of men} {Sabeans: or, drunkards}
Then saidH559 I unto her that was oldH1087 in adulteriesH5004, Will they now commitH2181 whoredomsH8457 with her, and she with them? {whoredoms…: Heb. her whoredoms}
Yet they went inH935 unto her, as they go inH935 unto a womanH802 that playeth the harlotH2181: so went they inH935 unto AholahH170 and unto AholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802.
And the righteousH6662 menH582, they shall judgeH8199 them after the mannerH4941 of adulteressesH5003, and after the mannerH4941 of women that shedH8210 bloodH1818; because they are adulteressesH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will bring upH5927 a companyH6951 upon them, and will giveH5414 them to be removedH2189 and spoiledH957. {to be…: Heb. for a removing and spoil}
And the companyH6951 shall stoneH7275 them with stonesH68, and dispatchH1254 them with their swordsH2719; they shall slayH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, and burn upH8313 their housesH1004 with fireH784. {dispatch…: or, single them out}
Thus will I cause lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776, that all womenH802 may be taughtH3256 not to doH6213 after your lewdnessH2154.
Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
Therefore will I also dealH6213 in furyH2534: mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347, neither will I have pityH2550: and though they cryH7121 in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet will I not hearH8085 them.
HavingG2192 thereforeG3767 theseG5025 promisesG1860, dearly belovedG27, let us cleanseG2511 ourselvesG1438 fromG575 allG3956 filthinessG3436 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 spiritG4151, perfectingG2005 holinessG42 inG1722 the fearG5401 of GodG2316.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
So will I make my furyH2534 toward thee to restH5117, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee, and I will be quietH8252, and will be no more angryH3707.
For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725 not unto him that smitethH5221 them, neither do they seekH1875 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Therefore the LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, branchH3712 and rushH100, in oneH259 dayH3117.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
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 the LordH136 shall have no joyH8055 in their young menH970, neither shall have mercyH7355 on their fatherlessH3490 and widowsH490: for every one is an hypocriteH2611 and an evildoerH7489, and every mouthH6310 speakethH1696 follyH5039. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186. {folly: or, villany}
ButG1161 unto them that are contentiousG1537+G2052, andG2532 do not obeyG544+G3303 the truthG225, butG1161 obeyG3982 unrighteousnessG93, indignationG2372 andG2532 wrathG3709,
They are all grievousH5493 revoltersH5637, walkingH1980 with slandersH7400: they are brassH5178 and ironH1270; they are all corruptersH7843.
The bellowsH4647 are burnedH2787, the leadH5777 is consumedH8552 of the fireH800+H784; the founderH6884 meltethH6884 in vainH7723: for the wickedH7451 are not plucked awayH5423.
ReprobateH3988 silverH3701 shall men callH7121 them, because the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them. {Reprobate…: or, Refuse silver}
TribulationG2347 andG2532 anguishG4730, uponG1909 everyG3956 soulG5590 of manG444 that doethG2716 evilG2556, of the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 of the GentileG1672; {Gentile: Gr. Greek}
From the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, even unto this dayH3117, that is the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 hath come unto me, and I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye have not hearkenedH8085.
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.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
When I would have healedH7495 IsraelH3478, then the iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 was discoveredH1540, and the wickednessH7451 of SamariaH8111: for they commitH6466 falsehoodH8267; and the thiefH1590 cometh inH935, and the troopH1416 of robbers spoilethH6584 withoutH2351. {wickedness: Heb. evils} {spoileth: Heb. strippeth}
StrangersH2114 have devouredH398 his strengthH3581, and he knowethH3045 it not: yea, gray hairsH7872 are here and thereH2236 upon him, yet he knowethH3045 not. {here…: Heb. sprinkled}
And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 testifiethH6030 to his faceH6440: and they do not returnH7725 to the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor seekH1245 him for all this.
EphraimH669 also is like a sillyH6601 doveH3123 without heartH3820: they callH7121 to EgyptH4714, they goH1980 to AssyriaH804.
When they shall goH3212, I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon them; I will bring them downH3381 as the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064; I will chastiseH3256 them, as their congregationH5712 hath heardH8088.
WoeH188 unto them! for they have fledH5074 from me: destructionH7701 unto them! because they have transgressedH6586 against me: though I have redeemedH6299 them, yet they have spokenH1696 liesH3577 against me. {destruction: Heb. spoil}
And they have not criedH2199 unto me with their heartH3820, when they howledH3213 upon their bedsH4904: they assembleH1481 themselves for cornH1715 and wineH8492, and they rebelH5493 against me.
Though I have boundH3256 and strengthenedH2388 their armsH2220, yet do they imagineH2803 mischiefH7451 against me. {have…: or, chastened}
They returnH7725, but not to the most HighH5920: they are like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198: their princesH8269 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 for the rageH2195 of their tongueH3956: thisH2097 shall be their derisionH3933 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And I also have givenH5414 you cleannessH5356 of teethH8127 in all your citiesH5892, and wantH2640 of breadH3899 in all your placesH4725: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And also I have withholdenH4513 the rainH1653 from you, when there were yet threeH7969 monthsH2320 to the harvestH7105: and I caused it to rainH4305 upon oneH259 cityH5892, and caused it not to rainH4305 upon anotherH259 cityH5892: oneH259 pieceH2513 was rainedH4305 upon, and the pieceH2513 whereupon it rainedH4305 not witheredH3001.
So twoH8147 or threeH7969 citiesH5892 wanderedH5128 unto oneH259 cityH5892, to drinkH8354 waterH4325; but they were not satisfiedH7646: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I have smittenH5221 you with blastingH7711 and mildewH3420: when your gardensH1593 and your vineyardsH3754 and your fig treesH8384 and your olive treesH2132 increasedH7235, the palmerwormH1501 devouredH398 them: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {when…: or, the multitude of your gardens, etc. did the palmerworm}
I have sentH7971 among you the pestilenceH1698 after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714: your young menH970 have I slainH2026 with the swordH2719, and have taken awayH7628 your horsesH5483; and I have made the stinkH889 of your campsH4264 to come upH5927 unto your nostrilsH639: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {after…: or, in the way} {and have…: Heb. with the captivity of your horses}
I have overthrownH2015 some of you, as GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and ye were as a firebrandH181 plucked outH5337 of the burningH8316: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore thus will I doH6213 unto thee, O IsraelH3478: and becauseH6118 I will doH6213 this unto thee, prepareH3559 to meetH7125 thy GodH430, O IsraelH3478.
She obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963; she receivedH3947 not correctionH4148; she trustedH982 not in the LORDH3068; she drew not nearH7126 to her GodH430. {correction: or, instruction}
I saidH559, Surely thou wilt fearH3372 me, thou wilt receiveH3947 instructionH4148; so their dwellingH4583 should not be cut offH3772, howsoeverH834+H3605 I punishedH6485 them: butH403 they rose earlyH7925, and corruptedH7843 all their doingsH5949.
O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, thou that killestG615 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 stonestG3036 them which are sentG649 untoG4314 theeG846, how oftenG4212 would IG2309 have gatheredG1996 thyG4675+G3739 childrenG5043 togetherG1996, even asG5158 a henG3733 gatherethG1996 herG1438 chickensG3556 underG5259 her wingsG4420, andG2532 ye wouldG2309 notG3756!
ThenG1161 said heG2036 untoG4314 the dresser of his vineyardG289, BeholdG2400, these threeG5140 yearsG2094 I comeG2064 seekingG2212 fruitG2590 onG1722 thisG5026 fig treeG4808, andG2532 findG2147 noneG3756: cutG1581 itG846 downG1581; whyG2444+G2532 cumberethG2673 itG846 the groundG1093?
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, letG863 itG846 aloneG863 thisG5124 yearG2094 alsoG2532, tillG2193+G3755 I shall digG4626 aboutG4012 itG846, andG2532 dungG906+G2874 it:
