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 therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 unto you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him.
DrawH4900 me, we will runH7323 afterH310 thee: the kingH4428 hath broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315: we will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in thee, we will rememberH2142 thy loveH1730 more than wineH3196: the uprightH4339 loveH157 thee. {the upright…: or, they love thee uprightly}

No manG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165, exceptG3362 the FatherG3962 whichG3588 hath sentG3992 meG3165 drawG1670 himG846: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.

SpeakH1696 ye comfortablyH3820 to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto her, that her warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that her iniquityH5771 is pardonedH7521: for she hath receivedH3947 of the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for all her sinsH2403. {comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
Like as I pleadedH8199 with your fathersH1 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so will I pleadH8199 with you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.
But ZionH6726 saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 me, and my LordH136 hath forgottenH7911 me.
Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking childH5764, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, they may forgetH7911, yet will I not forgetH7911 thee. {that…: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have gravenH2710 thee upon the palms of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me.
Thy childrenH1121 shall make hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that made thee wasteH2717 shall go forthH3318 of thee.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth.
For thy wasteH2723 and thy desolate placesH8074, and the landH776 of thy destructionH2035, shall even now be too narrowH3334 by reason of the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowed thee upH1104 shall be far awayH7368.
The childrenH1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lostH7923 the other, shall sayH559 again in thine earsH241, The placeH4725 is too straitH6862 for me: giveH5066 placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427.
Then shalt thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Who hath begottenH3205 me these, seeing I have lost my childrenH7921, and am desolateH1565, a captiveH1540, and removing to and froH5493? and who hath brought upH1431 these? Behold, I was leftH7604 alone; these, whereH375 had they been?
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 mine handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. {arms: Heb. bosom}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}

And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkenH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290. {sweet: or, new}
AndG2532 the womanG1135 fledG5343 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048, whereG3699 she hathG2192 a placeG5117 preparedG2090 ofG575 GodG2316, thatG2443 they should feedG5142 herG846 thereG1563 a thousandG5507 two hundredG1250 and threescoreG1835 daysG2250.
For the LORDH3068 shall comfortH5162 ZionH6726: he will comfortH5162 all her waste placesH2723; and he will makeH7760 her wildernessH4057 like EdenH5731, and her desertH6160 like the gardenH1588 of the LORDH3068; joyH8342 and gladnessH8057 shall be foundH4672 therein, thanksgivingH8426, and the voiceH6963 of melodyH2172.
HearkenH7181 unto me, my peopleH5971; and give earH238 unto me, O my nationH3816: for a lawH8451 shall proceedH3318 from me, and I will make my judgmentH4941 to restH7280 for a lightH216 of the peopleH5971.
My righteousnessH6664 is nearH7138; my salvationH3468 is gone forthH3318, and mine armsH2220 shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971; the islesH339 shall waitH6960 upon me, and on mine armH2220 shall they trustH3176.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 to the heavensH8064, and lookH5027 upon the earthH776 beneath: for the heavensH8064 shall vanish awayH4414 like smokeH6227, and the earthH776 shall wax oldH1086 like a garmentH899, and they that dwellH3427 therein shall dieH4191 in likeH3644 mannerH3654: but my salvationH3444 shall be for everH5769, and my righteousnessH6666 shall not be abolishedH2865.
HearkenH8085 unto me, ye that knowH3045 righteousnessH6664, the peopleH5971 in whose heartH3820 is my lawH8451; fearH3372 ye not the reproachH2781 of menH582, neither be ye afraidH2865 of their revilingsH1421.
For the mothH6211 shall eat them upH398 like a garmentH899, and the wormH5580 shall eatH398 them like woolH6785: but my righteousnessH6666 shall be for everH5769, and my salvationH3444 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, put onH3847 strengthH5797, O armH2220 of the LORDH3068; awakeH5782, as in the ancientH6924 daysH3117, in the generationsH1755 of oldH5769. Art thou not it that hath cutH2672 RahabH7294, and woundedH2490 the dragonH8577?
Art thou not it which hath driedH2717 the seaH3220, the watersH4325 of the greatH7227 deepH8415; that hath madeH7760 the depthsH4615 of the seaH3220 a wayH1870 for the ransomedH1350 to pass overH5674?
Therefore the redeemedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 with singingH7440 unto ZionH6726; and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be upon their headH7218: they shall obtainH5381 gladnessH8342 and joyH8057; and sorrowH3015 and mourningH585 shall flee awayH5127.
I, even I, am he that comfortethH5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraidH3372 of a manH582 that shall dieH4191, and of the sonH1121 of manH120 which shall be madeH5414 as grassH2682;
And forgettestH7911 the LORDH3068 thy makerH6213, that hath stretched forthH5186 the heavensH8064, and laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776; and hast fearedH6342 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 becauseH6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, as ifH834 he were readyH3559 to destroyH7843? and where is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693? {were…: or, made himself ready}
The captive exileH6808 hastenethH4116 that he may be loosedH6605, and that he should not dieH4191 in the pitH7845, nor that his breadH3899 should failH2637.
But I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that dividedH7280 the seaH3220, whose wavesH1530 roaredH1993: The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
And I have putH7760 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310, and I have coveredH3680 thee in the shadowH6738 of mine handH3027, that I may plantH5193 the heavensH8064, and lay the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776, and sayH559 unto ZionH6726, Thou art my peopleH5971.
AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, stand upH6965, O JerusalemH3389, which hast drunkH8354 at the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 the cupH3563 of his furyH2534; thou hast drunkenH8354 the dregsH6907 of the cupH3563 of tremblingH8653, and wrung them outH4680.
There is none to guideH5095 her among all the sonsH1121 whom she hath brought forthH3205; neither is there any that takethH2388 her by the handH3027 of all the sonsH1121 that she hath brought upH1431.
These twoH8147 things are comeH7122 unto thee; who shall be sorryH5110 for thee? desolationH7701, and destructionH7667, and the famineH7458, and the swordH2719: by whom shall I comfortH5162 thee? {are…: Heb. happened} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
Thy sonsH1121 have faintedH5968, they lieH7901 at the headH7218 of all the streetsH2351, as a wild bullH8377 in a netH4364: they are fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068, the rebukeH1606 of thy GodH430.
Therefore hearH8085 now this, thou afflictedH6041, and drunkenH7937, but not with wineH3196:
Thus saithH559 thy LordH113 the LORDH3068, and thy GodH430 that pleadethH7378 the cause of his peopleH5971, Behold, I have taken outH3947 of thine handH3027 the cupH3563 of tremblingH8653, even the dregsH6907 of the cupH3563 of my furyH2534; thou shalt no moreH3254 drink it againH8354:
But I will putH7760 it into the handH3027 of them that afflictH3013 thee; which have saidH559 to thy soulH5315, Bow downH7812, that we may go overH5674: and thou hast laidH7760 thy bodyH1460 as the groundH776, and as the streetH2351, to them that went overH5674.
AndG2532 to the womanG1135 were givenG1325 twoG1417 wingsG4420 of a greatG3173 eagleG105, thatG2443 she might flyG4072 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048, intoG1519 herG846 placeG5117, whereG3699 she is nourishedG5142 for a timeG1563+G2540, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 halfG2255 a timeG2540, fromG575 the faceG4383 of the serpentG3789.
GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769.
Only acknowledgeH3045 thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
TurnH7725, O backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; for I am marriedH1166 unto you: and I will takeH3947 you oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935 you to ZionH6726:
And I will giveH5414 you pastorsH7462 according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462 you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be multipliedH7235 and increasedH6509 in the landH776, in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, they shall sayH559 no more, The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068: neither shall it comeH5927 to mindH3820: neither shall they rememberH2142 it; neither shall they visitH6485 it; neither shall that be doneH6213 any more. {come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart} {that…: or, it be magnified}
At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121 JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960 unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212 any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walkH3212 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935 togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I have given for an inheritanceH5157 unto your fathersH1. {with: or, to} {given…: or, caused your fathers to possess}
But I saidH559, How shall I putH7896 thee among the childrenH1121, and giveH5414 thee a pleasantH2532 landH776, a goodlyH6643 heritageH5159 of the hostsH6635 of nationsH1471? and I saidH559, Thou shalt callH7121 me, My fatherH1; and shalt not turn awayH7725 from meH310. {from me: Heb. from after me} {a goodly…: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty} {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}
SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898 departeth from her husbandH7453, so have ye dealt treacherouslyH898 with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {husband: Heb. friend}
A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753 their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
ReturnH7725, ye backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, and I will healH7495 your backslidingsH4878. Behold, we comeH857 unto thee; for thou art the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is salvation hoped for from the hillsH1389, and from the multitudeH1995 of mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478.
For shameH1322 hath devouredH398 the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of Jacob'sH3290 tentsH168, and have mercyH7355 on his dwellingplacesH4908; and the cityH5892 shall be buildedH1129 upon her own heapH8510, and the palaceH759 shall remainH3427 after the mannerH4941 thereof. {heap: or, little hill}
And out of them shall proceedH3318 thanksgivingH8426 and the voiceH6963 of them that make merryH7832: and I will multiplyH7235 them, and they shall not be fewH4591; I will also glorifyH3513 them, and they shall not be smallH6819.
Their childrenH1121 also shall be as aforetimeH6924, and their congregationH5712 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 me, and I will punishH6485 all that oppressH3905 them.
And their noblesH117 shall be of themselves, and their governorH4910 shall proceedH3318 from the midstH7130 of them; and I will cause him to draw nearH7126, and he shall approachH5066 unto me: for who is this that engagedH6148 his heartH3820 to approachH5066 unto me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
At the same timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, will I be the GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The peopleH5971 which were leftH8300 of the swordH2719 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057; even IsraelH3478, when I wentH1980 to cause him to restH7280.
The LORDH3068 hath appearedH7200 of oldH7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have lovedH157 thee with an everlastingH5769 loveH160: therefore with lovingkindnessH2617 have I drawnH4900 thee. {of…: Heb. from afar} {with lovingkindness…: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee}
Again I will buildH1129 thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710 with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318 in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832. {tabrets: or, timbrels}
Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490. {eat…: Heb. profane them}
For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SingH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670 among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085 ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, O LORDH3068, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.
Behold, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thither.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046 it in the islesH339 afar offH4801, and sayH559, He that scatteredH2219 IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908 him, and keepH8104 him, as a shepherdH7462 doth his flockH5739.
For the LORDH3068 hath redeemedH6299 JacobH3290, and ransomedH1350 him from the handH3027 of him that was strongerH2389 than he.
Therefore they shall comeH935 and singH7442 in the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flow togetherH5102 to the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068, for wheatH1715, and for wineH8492, and for oilH3323, and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241: and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588; and they shall not sorrowH1669 any moreH3254 at all.
Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055 in the danceH4234, both young menH970 and oldH2205 togetherH3162: for I will turnH2015 their mourningH60 into joyH8342, and will comfortH5162 them, and make them rejoiceH8055 from their sorrowH3015.
And I will satiateH7301 the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646 with my goodnessH2898, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065; RahelH7354 weepingH1058 for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162 for her childrenH1121, because they were not.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; RefrainH4513 thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832: for thy workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall come againH7725 from the landH776 of the enemyH341.
And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725 to their own borderH1366.
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.
Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725, I repentedH5162; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045, I smoteH5606 upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954, yea, even confoundedH3637, because I did bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271.
Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696 against him, I do earnestlyH2142 rememberH2142 him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993 for him; I will surelyH7355 have mercyH7355 upon him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {are…: Heb. sound}
Set thee upH5324 waymarksH6725, makeH7760 thee high heapsH8564: setH7896 thine heartH3820 toward the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 which thou wentestH1980: turn againH7725, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 to these thy citiesH5892.
How long wilt thou go aboutH2559, O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254 a new thingH2319 in the earthH776, A womanH5347 shall compassH5437 a manH1397.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559 this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944.
And there shall dwellH3427 in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof togetherH3162, husbandmenH406, and they that go forthH5265 with flocksH5739.
For I have satiatedH7301 the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and I have replenishedH4390 every sorrowfulH1669 soulH5315.
Upon this I awakedH6974, and beheldH7200; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto me.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sowH2232 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120, and with the seedH2233 of beastH929.
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched overH8245 them, to pluck upH5428, and to break downH5422, and to throw downH2040, and to destroyH6, and to afflictH7489; so will I watch overH8245 them, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
In those daysH3117 they shall sayH559 no more, The fathersH1 have eatenH398 a sour grapeH1155, and the children'sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edgeH6949.
But every oneH376 shall dieH4191 for his own iniquityH5771: every manH120 that eatethH398 the sour grapeH1155, his teethH8127 shall be set on edgeH6949.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, which givethH5414 the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280 the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034:
If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185 from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673 from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for everH3117.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measuredH4058, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713 beneathH4295, I will also cast offH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have doneH6213, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning this cityH5892, whereof ye sayH559, It shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698;
Behold, I will gather them outH6908 of all countriesH776, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110; and I will bring them againH7725 unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safelyH983:
And they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430:
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for everH3117, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
And I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turn awayH7725 from themH310, to do them goodH3190; but I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they shall not departH5493 from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
Yea, I will rejoiceH7797 over them to do them goodH2895, and I will plantH5193 them in this landH776 assuredlyH571 with my whole heartH3820 and with my whole soulH5315. {assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability}
Behold, I will bringH5927 it healthH724 and cureH4832, and I will cureH7495 them, and will revealH1540 unto them the abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truthH571.
And I will cause the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and the captivityH7622 of IsraelH3478 to returnH7725, and will buildH1129 them, as at the firstH7223.
And I will cleanseH2891 them from all their iniquityH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398 against me; and I will pardonH5545 all their iniquitiesH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398, and whereby they have transgressedH6586 against me.
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joyH8342, a praiseH8416 and an honourH8597 before all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776, which shall hearH8085 all the goodH2896 that I doH6213 unto them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for all the goodnessH2896 and for all the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 unto it.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Again there shall be heardH8085 in this placeH4725, which ye sayH559 shall be desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, even in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, that are desolateH8074, without manH120, and without inhabitantH3427, and without beastH929,
The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the landH776, as at the firstH7223, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Again in this placeH4725, which is desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof, shall be an habitationH5116 of shepherdsH7462 causing their flocksH6629 to lie downH7257.
In the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, in the citiesH5892 of the valeH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045, and in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, shall the flocksH6629 pass againH5674 under the handsH3027 of him that tellethH4487 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will performH6965 that goodH2896 thingH1697 which I have promisedH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {David…: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
Neither shall the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 wantH3772 a manH376 beforeH6440 me to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to kindleH6999 meat offeringsH4503, and to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 continuallyH3117.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If ye can breakH6565 my covenantH1285 of the dayH3117, and my covenantH1285 of the nightH3915, and that there should not be dayH3119 and nightH3915 in their seasonH6256;
Then may also my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servantH5650, that he should not have a sonH1121 to reignH4427 upon his throneH3678; and with the LevitesH3881 the priestsH3548, my ministersH8334.
As the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannot be numberedH5608, neither the sandH2344 of the seaH3220 measuredH4058: so will I multiplyH7235 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732 my servantH5650, and the LevitesH3881 that ministerH8334 unto me.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
Therefore will I saveH3467 my flockH6629, and they shall no more be a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716.
And I will set upH6965 oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732; he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherdH7462.
And I the LORDH3068 will be their GodH430, and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
And I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965, and will cause the evilH7451 beastsH2416 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776: and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 in the wildernessH4057, and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3293+H3264.
And I will makeH5414 them and the places round aboutH5439 my hillH1389 a blessingH1293; and I will cause the showerH1653 to come downH3381 in his seasonH6256; there shall be showersH1653 of blessingH1293.
And the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 her fruitH6529, and the earthH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and they shall be safeH983 in their landH127, and shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of their yokeH5923, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of those that servedH5647 themselves of them.
And they shall no more be a preyH957 to the heathenH1471, neither shall the beastH2416 of the landH776 devourH398 them; but they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
And I will raise upH6965 for them a plantH4302 of renownH8034, and they shall be no more consumedH622 with hungerH7458 in the landH776, neither bearH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more. {of renown: or, for renown} {consumed: Heb. taken away}
Thus shall they knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 their GodH430 am with them, and that they, even the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And yeH859 my flockH6629, the flockH6629 of my pastureH4830, are menH120, and I am your GodH430, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5375 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; for they are at handH7126 to comeH935.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turnH6437 unto you, and ye shall be tilledH5647 and sownH2232:
And I will multiplyH7235 menH120 upon you, all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, even all of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129:
And I will multiplyH7235 upon you manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235 and bring fruitH6509: and I will settleH3427 you after your old estatesH6927, and will do betterH2895 unto you than at your beginningsH7221: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Yea, I will cause menH120 to walkH3212 upon you, even my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt no moreH3254 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of men.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they sayH559 unto you, Thou land devourest upH398 menH120, and hast bereavedH7921 thy nationsH1471;
Therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 no more, neither bereaveH7921+H3782 thy nationsH1471 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bereave: or, cause to fall}
Neither will I cause men to hearH8085 in thee the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more, neither shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peopleH5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nationsH1471 to fallH3782 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Then he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these bonesH6106 are the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: behold, they sayH559, Our bonesH6106 are driedH3001, and our hopeH8615 is lostH6: we are cut offH1504 for our parts.
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, O my peopleH5971, I will openH6605 your gravesH6913, and cause you to come upH5927 out of your gravesH6913, and bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have openedH6605 your gravesH6913, O my peopleH5971, and brought you upH5927 out of your gravesH6913,
And shall putH5414 my spiritH7307 in you, and ye shall liveH2421, and I shall placeH3240 you in your own landH127: then shall ye knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and performedH6213 it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
Moreover, thou sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee oneH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JudahH3063, and for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270: then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669, and for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270:
And joinH7126 them oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086; and they shall become oneH259 in thine handH3027.
And when the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 shall speakH559 unto thee, sayingH559, Wilt thou not shewH5046 us what thou meanest by these?
SayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, which is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 his fellowsH2270, and will putH5414 them with him, even with the stickH6086 of JudahH3063, and makeH6213 them oneH259 stickH6086, and they shall be oneH259 in mine handH3027.
And the sticksH6086 whereon thou writestH3789 shall be in thine handH3027 before their eyesH5869.
And sayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the heathenH1471, whither they be goneH1980, and will gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439, and bringH935 them into their own landH127:
And I will makeH6213 them oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and oneH259 kingH4428 shall be kingH4428 to them all: and they shall beH5750 no more twoH8147 nationsH1471, neither shall they be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467 any more at all:
Neither shall they defileH2930 themselves any more with their idolsH1544, nor with their detestable thingsH8251, nor with any of their transgressionsH6588: but I will saveH3467 them out of all their dwellingplacesH4186, wherein they have sinnedH2398, and will cleanseH2891 them: so shall they be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430.
And DavidH1732 my servantH5650 shall be kingH4428 over them; and they all shall have oneH259 shepherdH7462: they shall also walkH3212 in my judgmentsH4941, and observeH8104 my statutesH2708, and doH6213 them.
And they shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I have givenH5414 unto JacobH3290 my servantH5650, wherein your fathersH1 have dweltH3427; and they shall dwellH3427 therein, even they, and their childrenH1121, and their children'sH1121 childrenH1121 for everH5769: and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 shall be their princeH5387 forH5704 everH5769.
Moreover I will makeH3772 a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 with them; it shall be an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them: and I will placeH5414 them, and multiplyH7235 them, and will setH5414 my sanctuaryH4720 in the midstH8432 of them for evermoreH5769.
My tabernacleH4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 IsraelH3478, when my sanctuaryH4720 shall be in the midstH8432 of them for evermoreH5769.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Now will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JacobH3290, and have mercyH7355 upon the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and will be jealousH7065 for my holyH6944 nameH8034;
After that they have borneH5375 their shameH3639, and all their trespassesH4604 whereby they have trespassedH4603 against me, when they dweltH3427 safelyH983 in their landH127, and none made them afraidH2729.
When I have brought them againH7725 from the peopleH5971, and gatheredH6908 them out of their enemies'H341 landsH776, and am sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471;
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which caused them to be led into captivityH1540 among the heathenH1471: but I have gatheredH3664 them unto their own landH127, and have leftH3498 none of them any more there. {which…: Heb. by my causing of them, etc}
Neither will I hideH5641 my faceH6440 any more from them: for I have poured outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallenH5307, and close upH1443 the breachesH6556 thereof; and I will raise upH6965 his ruinsH2034, and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769: {close: Heb. hedge, or, wall}
That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of EdomH123, and of all the heathenH1471, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 that doethH6213 this. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114, and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seedH2233; and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wineH6071, and all the hillsH1389 shall meltH4127. {soweth: Heb. draweth forth} {sweet: or, new}
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
FeedH7462 thy peopleH5971 with thy rodH7626, the flockH6629 of thine heritageH5159, which dwellH7931 solitarilyH910 in the woodH3293, in the midstH8432 of CarmelH3760: let them feedH7462 in BashanH1316 and GileadH1568, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769. {Feed: or, Rule}
According to the daysH3117 of thy comingH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will I shewH7200 unto him marvellousH6381 things.
The nationsH1471 shall seeH7200 and be confoundedH954 at all their mightH1369: they shall layH7760 their handH3027 upon their mouthH6310, their earsH241 shall be deafH2790.
They shall lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpentH5175, they shall moveH7264 out of their holesH4526 like wormsH2119 of the earthH776: they shall be afraidH6342 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and shall fearH3372 because of thee. {worms: or, creeping things}
Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
He will turn againH7725, he will have compassionH7355 upon us; he will subdueH3533 our iniquitiesH5771; and thou wilt castH7993 all their sinsH2403 into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.
Thou wilt performH5414 the truthH571 to JacobH3290, and the mercyH2617 to AbrahamH85, which thou hast swornH7650 unto our fathersH1 from the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
For then will I turnH2015 to the peopleH5971 a pureH1305 languageH8193, that they may all callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 him with oneH259 consentH7926. {language: Heb. lip} {consent: Heb. shoulder}
From beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of EthiopiaH3568 my suppliantsH6282, even the daughterH1323 of my dispersedH6327, shall bringH2986 mine offeringH4503.
In that dayH3117 shalt thou not be ashamedH954 for all thy doingsH5949, wherein thou hast transgressedH6586 against me: for then I will take awayH5493 out of the midstH7130 of thee them that rejoiceH5947 in thy prideH1346, and thou shalt no moreH3254 be haughtyH1361 because of my holyH6944 mountainH2022. {because…: Heb. in my holy}
I will also leaveH7604 in the midstH7130 of thee an afflictedH6041 and poorH1800 peopleH5971, and they shall trustH2620 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 shall not doH6213 iniquityH5766, nor speakH1696 liesH3577; neither shall a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 be foundH4672 in their mouthH6310: for they shall feedH7462 and lie downH7257, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
SingH7442, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O IsraelH3478; be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5937 with all the heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 hath taken awayH5493 thy judgmentsH4941, he hath cast outH6437 thine enemyH341: the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, even the LORDH3068, is in the midstH7130 of thee: thou shalt not seeH7200 evilH7451 any more.
In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559 to JerusalemH3389, FearH3372 thou not: and to ZionH6726, Let not thine handsH3027 be slackH7503. {slack: or, faint}
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the midstH7130 of thee is mightyH1368; he will saveH3467, he will rejoiceH7797 over thee with joyH8057; he will restH2790 in his loveH160, he will joyH1523 over thee with singingH7440. {rest: Heb. be silent}
I will gatherH622 them that are sorrowfulH3013 for the solemn assemblyH4150, who are of thee, to whom the reproachH2781 of it was a burdenH4864. {reproach…: Heb. the burden upon it was reproach}
Behold, at that timeH6256 I will undoH6213 all that afflictH6031 thee: and I will saveH3467 her that haltethH6760, and gatherH6908 her that was driven outH5080; and I will getH7760 them praiseH8416 and fameH8034 in every landH776 where they have been put to shameH1322. {get…: Heb. set them for a praise} {where…: Heb. of their shame}
At that timeH6256 will I bringH935 you again, even in the timeH6256 that I gatherH6908 you: for I will makeH5414 you a nameH8034 and a praiseH8416 among all peopleH5971 of the earthH776, when I turn backH7725 your captivityH7622 before your eyesH5869, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 and saidH559, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, how long wilt thou not have mercyH7355 on JerusalemH3389 and on the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, against which thou hast had indignationH2194 these threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141?
And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me with goodH2896 wordsH1697 and comfortableH5150 wordsH1697.
So the angelH4397 that communedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, CryH7121 thou, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I am jealousH7065 for JerusalemH3389 and for ZionH6726 with a greatH1419 jealousyH7068.
And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107, and they helpedH5826 forward the afflictionH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with merciesH7356: my houseH1004 shall be builtH1129 in it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and a lineH6957+H6961 shall be stretched forthH5186 upon JerusalemH3389.
CryH7121 yet, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; My citiesH5892 through prosperityH2896 shall yet be spread abroadH6327; and the LORDH3068 shall yet comfortH5162 ZionH6726, and shall yet chooseH977 JerusalemH3389. {prosperity: Heb. good}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall comeH935 peopleH5971, and the inhabitantsH3427 of manyH7227 citiesH5892:
And the inhabitantsH3427 of oneH259 city shall goH1980 to anotherH259, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 speedilyH1980 to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: I will goH3212 also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Yea, manyH7227 peopleH5971 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH582 shall take holdH2388 out of all languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, even shall take holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH376+H3064, sayingH559, We will goH3212 with you: for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
