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.

They have set up kingsH4427, but not by me: they have made princesH7786, and I knewH3045 it not: of their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 have they madeH6213 them idolsH6091, that they may be cut offH3772.
Therefore they sacrificeH2076 unto their netH2764, and burn incenseH6999 unto their dragH4365; because by themH1992 their portionH2506 is fatH8082, and their meatH3978 plenteousH1277. {plenteous: or, dainty: Heb. fat}

GodG2316 that madeG4160 the worldG2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG1722+G846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499;
NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men'sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2596 all thingsG3956;
And they went outH3318 into the fieldsH7704, and gatheredH1219 their vineyardsH3754, and trodeH1869 the grapes, and madeH6213 merryH1974, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of their godH430, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and cursedH7043 AbimelechH40. {merry: or, songs}
And AaronH175 saidH559 unto them, Break offH6561 the goldenH2091 earringsH5141, which are in the earsH241 of your wivesH802, of your sonsH1121, and of your daughtersH1323, and bringH935 them unto me.
And all the peopleH5971 brake offH6561 the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 which were in their earsH241, and broughtH935 them unto AaronH175.
And he receivedH3947 them at their handH3027, and fashionedH6696 it with a graving toolH2747, after he had madeH6213 it a moltenH4541 calfH5695: and they saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which broughtH5927 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}

And there was a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, whose nameH8034 was MicahH4321.
And he saidH559 unto his motherH517, The eleven hundredH505+H3967 shekels of silverH3701 that were takenH3947 from thee, about which thou cursedstH422, and spakestH559 of also in mine earsH241, behold, the silverH3701 is with me; I tookH3947 it. And his motherH517 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068, my sonH1121.
And when he had restoredH7725 the eleven hundredH505+H3967 shekels of silverH3701 to his motherH517, his motherH517 saidH559, I had whollyH6942 dedicatedH6942 the silverH3701 unto the LORDH3068 from my handH3027 for my sonH1121, to makeH6213 a graven imageH6459 and a molten imageH4541: now therefore I will restoreH7725 it unto thee.
Yet he restoredH7725 the moneyH3701 unto his motherH517; and his motherH517 tookH3947 two hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and gaveH5414 them to the founderH6884, who madeH6213 thereof a graven imageH6459 and a molten imageH4541: and they were in the houseH1004 of MicahH4321.
And the manH376 MicahH4318 had an houseH1004 of godsH430, and madeH6213 an ephodH646, and teraphimH8655, and consecratedH4390+H3027 oneH259 of his sonsH1121, who became his priestH3548. {consecrated: Heb. filled the hand}
But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. {queen…: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
They lavishH2107 goldH2091 out of the bagH3599, and weighH8254 silverH3701 in the balanceH7070, and hireH7936 a goldsmithH6884; and he makethH6213 it a godH410: they fall downH5456, yea, they worshipH7812.
But since we left offH2308 to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, we have wantedH2637 all things, and have been consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458.
And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and deckedstH6213 thy high placesH1116 with divers coloursH2921, and playedst the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so.
Thou hast also takenH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madestH6213 to thyself imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst commit whoredomH2181 with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookestH3947 thy broideredH7553 garmentsH899, and coveredstH3680 them: and thou hast setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
My meatH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fine flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou hast even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and thus it was, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest}
ThenH116 they broughtH858 the goldenH1722 vesselsH3984 that were takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which was at JerusalemH3390; and the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, drankH8355 in them.
They drankH8355 wineH2562, and praisedH7624 the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brassH5174, of ironH6523, of woodH636, and of stoneH69.
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
AndG2532 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 afterG3326 the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 allG537 togetherG4863, and took his journeyG589 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561, andG2532 thereG1563 wastedG1287 hisG846 substanceG3776 with riotousG811 livingG2198.
