SayH559 ye unto your brethrenH251, AmmiH5971; and to your sistersH269, RuhamahH7355. {Ammi: that is, My people} {Ruhamah: that is, Having obtained mercy}
PleadH7378 with your motherH517, pleadH7378: for she is not my wifeH802, neither am I her husbandH376: let her therefore put awayH5493 her whoredomsH2183 out of her sightH6440, and her adulteriesH5005 from between her breastsH7699;
Lest I stripH6584 her nakedH6174, and setH3322 her as in the dayH3117 that she was bornH3205, and makeH7760 her as a wildernessH4057, and setH7896 her like a dryH6723 landH776, and slayH4191 her with thirstH6772.
And I will not have mercyH7355 upon her childrenH1121; for they be the childrenH1121 of whoredomsH2183.
For their motherH517 hath played the harlotH2181: she that conceivedH2029 them hath done shamefullyH3001: for she saidH559, I will goH3212 afterH310 my loversH157, that giveH5414 me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, mine oilH8081 and my drinkH8250. {drink: Heb. drinks}
Therefore, behold, I will hedgeH7753 up thy wayH1870 with thornsH5518, and makeH1443 a wallH1447, that she shall not findH4672 her pathsH5410. {make…: Heb. wall a wall}
And she shall followH7291 after her loversH157, but she shall not overtakeH5381 them; and she shall seekH1245 them, but shall not findH4672 them: then shall she sayH559, I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my firstH7223 husbandH376; for then was it betterH2896 with me than nowH6258.
For she did not knowH3045 that I gaveH5414 her cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and multipliedH7235 her silverH3701 and goldH2091, which they preparedH6213 for BaalH1168. {wine: Heb. new wine} {which…: or, wherewith they made Baal}
Therefore will I returnH7725, and take awayH3947 my cornH1715 in the timeH6256 thereof, and my wineH8492 in the seasonH4150 thereof, and will recoverH5337 my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593 given to coverH3680 her nakednessH6172. {recover: or, take away}
And now will I discoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 in the sightH5869 of her loversH157, and noneH376 shall deliverH5337 her out of mine handH3027. {lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany}
I will also cause all her mirthH4885 to ceaseH7673, her feast daysH2282, her new moonsH2320, and her sabbathsH7676, and all her solemn feastsH4150.
And I will destroyH8074 her vinesH1612 and her fig treesH8384, whereof she hath saidH559, These are my rewardsH866 that my loversH157 have givenH5414 me: and I will makeH7760 them a forestH3293, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398 them. {destroy: Heb. make desolate}
And I will visitH6485 upon her the daysH3117 of BaalimH1168, wherein she burned incenseH6999 to them, and she deckedH5710 herself with her earringsH5141 and her jewelsH2484, and she wentH3212 afterH310 her loversH157, and forgatH7911 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore, behold, I will allureH6601 her, and bringH3212 her into the wildernessH4057, and speakH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto her. {comfortably: or, friendly: Heb. to her heart}
And I will giveH5414 her her vineyardsH3754 from thence, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 for a doorH6607 of hopeH8615: and she shall singH6030 there, as in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, and as in the dayH3117 when she came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And it shall be at that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that thou shalt callH7121 me IshiH376; and shalt callH7121 me no more BaaliH1180. {Ishi: that is, My husband} {Baali: that is, My lord}
For I will take awayH5493 the namesH8034 of BaalimH1168 out of her mouthH6310, and they shall no more be rememberedH2142 by their nameH8034.
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH3772 a covenantH1285 for them with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and with the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064, and with the creeping thingsH7431 of the groundH127: and I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 and the swordH2719 and the battleH4421 out of the earthH776, and will make them to lie downH7901 safelyH983.
And I will betrothH781 thee unto me for everH5769; yea, I will betrothH781 thee unto me in righteousnessH6664, and in judgmentH4941, and in lovingkindnessH2617, and in merciesH7356.
I will even betrothH781 thee unto me in faithfulnessH530: and thou shalt knowH3045 the LORDH3068.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, I will hearH6030, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will hearH6030 the heavensH8064, and they shall hearH6030 the earthH776;
And the earthH776 shall hearH6030 the cornH1715, and the wineH8492, and the oilH3323; and they shall hearH6030 JezreelH3157.
And I will sowH2232 her unto me in the earthH776; and I will have mercyH7355 upon her that had not obtained mercyH7355+H3818; and I will sayH559 to them which were not my peopleH5971, Thou art my peopleH5971; and they shall sayH559, Thou art my GodH430.

And now will I discoverH1540 her lewdnessH5040 in the sightH5869 of her loversH157, and noneH376 shall deliverH5337 her out of mine handH3027. {lewdness: Heb. folly, or, villany}
And as for thy nativityH4138, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navelH8270 was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to suppleH4935 thee; thou wast not saltedH4414 at allH4414, nor swaddledH2853 at allH2853. {to supple…: or, when I looked upon thee}
None eyeH5869 pitiedH2347 thee, to doH6213 anyH259 of these unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast outH7993 in the openH6440 fieldH7704, to the lothingH1604 of thy personH5315, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.
And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee pollutedH947 in thine own bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421. {polluted: or, trodden under foot}
I have causedH5414 thee to multiplyH7233 as the budH6780 of the fieldH7704, and thou hast increasedH7235 and waxen greatH1431, and thou art comeH935 to excellentH5716 ornamentsH5716: thy breastsH7699 are fashionedH3559, and thine hairH8181 is grownH6779, whereas thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {caused…: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent…: Heb. ornament of ornaments}
Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine.
Upon the landH127 of my peopleH5971 shall come upH5927 thornsH6975 and briersH8068; yea, upon all the housesH1004 of joyH4885 in the joyousH5947 cityH7151: {yea…: or, burning upon}
Neither saidH559 they, Where is the LORDH3068 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ledH3212 us through the wildernessH4057, through a landH776 of desertsH6160 and of pitsH7745, through a landH776 of droughtH6723, and of the shadow of deathH6757, through a landH776 that no manH376 passed throughH5674, and where no manH120 dweltH3427?
And the peopleH5971 thirstedH6770 there for waterH4325; and the peopleH5971 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872, and saidH559, Wherefore is this that thou hast broughtH5927 us up out of EgyptH4714, to killH4191 us and our childrenH1121 and our cattleH4735 with thirstH6772?
Thy nakednessH6172 shall be uncoveredH1540, yea, thy shameH2781 shall be seenH7200: I will takeH3947 vengeanceH5359, and I will not meetH6293 thee as a manH120.
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
Because the palacesH759 shall be forsakenH5203; the multitudeH1995 of the cityH5892 shall be leftH5800; the fortsH6076 and towersH975 shall be for densH4631 forH5704 everH5769, a joyH4885 of wild assesH6501, a pastureH4829 of flocksH5739; {forts…: or, clifts and watchtowers}
For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.
And he was soreH3966 athirstH6770, and calledH7121 on the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Thou hast givenH5414 this greatH1419 deliveranceH8668 into the handH3027 of thy servantH5650: and now shall I dieH4191 for thirstH6772, and fallH5307 into the handH3027 of the uncircumcisedH6189?
And if thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Wherefore comeH7122 these things upon me? For the greatnessH7230 of thine iniquityH5771 are thy skirtsH7757 discoveredH1540, and thy heelsH6119 made bareH2554. {made…: or, shall be violently taken away}
The earthH776 mournethH56 and languishethH535: LebanonH3844 is ashamedH2659 and hewn downH7060: SharonH8289 is like a wildernessH6160; and BashanH1316 and CarmelH3760 shake offH5287 their fruits. {hewn…: or, withered away}
Her citiesH5892 are a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a wildernessH6160, a landH776 wherein no manH376 dwellethH3427, neither doth any sonH1121 of manH120 passH5674 therebyH2004.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will sendH7971 a famineH7458 in the landH776, not a famineH7458 of breadH3899, nor a thirstH6772 for waterH4325, but of hearingH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068:
And they shall wanderH5128 from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the northH6828 even to the eastH4217, they shall run to and froH7751 to seekH1245 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and shall not findH4672 it.
In that dayH3117 shall the fairH3303 virginsH1330 and young menH970 faintH5968 for thirstH6772.
Therefore will I discoverH2834 thy skirtsH7757 upon thy faceH6440, that thy shameH7036 may appearH7200.
Thy holyH6944 citiesH5892 are a wildernessH4057, ZionH6726 is a wildernessH4057, JerusalemH3389 a desolationH8077.
Behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157, with whom thou hast taken pleasureH6149, and all them that thou hast lovedH157, with all them that thou hast hatedH8130; I will even gatherH6908 them round aboutH5439 against thee, and will discoverH1540 thy nakednessH6172 unto them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172.
And I will judgeH8199 thee, as women that break wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will giveH5414 thee bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousyH7068. {as: Heb. with judgments of}
And I will also giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw downH2040 thine eminent placeH1354, and shall break downH5422 thy high placesH7413: they shall stripH6584 thee also of thy clothesH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627, and leaveH3240 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {thy fair…: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
O generationH1755, seeH7200 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Have I been a wildernessH4057 unto IsraelH3478? a landH776 of darknessH3991? wherefore sayH559 my peopleH5971, We are lordsH7300; we will comeH935 no more unto thee? {We are…: Heb. We have dominion}
They shall also stripH6584 thee out of thy clothesH899, and take awayH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627. {fair…: Heb. instruments of thy decking}
Thus will I make thy lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 from thee, and thy whoredomH2184 brought from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: so that thou shalt not lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 any more.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them whom thou hatestH8130, into the handH3027 of them from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361:
And they shall dealH6213 with thee hatefullyH8135, and shall take awayH3947 all thy labourH3018, and shall leaveH5800 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181: and the nakednessH6172 of thy whoredomsH2183 shall be discoveredH1540, both thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
I beheldH7200, and, lo, the fruitful placeH3759 was a wildernessH4057, and all the citiesH5892 thereof were broken downH5422 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and by his fierceH2740 angerH639.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 uponG1909 the beastG2342, theseG3778 shall hateG3404 the whoreG4204, andG2532 shall makeG4160 herG846 desolateG2049 andG2532 nakedG1131, andG2532 shall eatG5315 herG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 burnG2618 herG846 withG1722 fireG4442.
ManyH7227 pastorsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under footH947, they have madeH5414 my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. {pleasant…: Heb. portion of desire}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the king'sH4428 houseH1004 of JudahH3063; Thou art GileadH1568 unto me, and the headH7218 of LebanonH3844: yet surely I will makeH7896 thee a wildernessH4057, and citiesH5892 which are not inhabitedH3427+H3427.
