HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, because there is no truthH571, nor mercyH2617, nor knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.
By swearingH422, and lyingH3584, and killingH7523, and stealingH1589, and committing adulteryH5003, they break outH6555, and bloodH1818 touchethH5060 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}
Therefore shall the landH776 mournH56, and every one that dwellethH3427 therein shall languishH535, with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and with the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064; yea, the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 also shall be taken awayH622.
Yet let no manH376 striveH7378, nor reproveH3198 anotherH376: for thy peopleH5971 are as they that striveH7378 with the priestH3548.
Therefore shalt thou fallH3782 in the dayH3117, and the prophetH5030 also shall fallH3782 with thee in the nightH3915, and I will destroyH1820 thy motherH517. {destroy: Heb. cut off}
My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820 for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988 knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911 the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911 thy childrenH1121. {destroyed: Heb. cut off}
As they were increasedH7230, so they sinnedH2398 against me: therefore will I changeH4171 their gloryH3519 into shameH7036.
They eat upH398 the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971, and they setH5375 their heartH5315 on their iniquityH5771. {set…: Heb. lift up their soul to}
And there shall be, like peopleH5971, like priestH3548: and I will punishH6485 them for their waysH1870, and rewardH7725 them their doingsH4611. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {reward: Heb. cause to return}
For they shall eatH398, and not have enoughH7646: they shall commit whoredomH2181, and shall not increaseH6555: because they have left offH5800 to take heedH8104 to the LORDH3068.
WhoredomH2184 and wineH3196 and new wineH8492 take awayH3947 the heartH3820.
My peopleH5971 askH7592 counsel at their stocksH6086, and their staffH4731 declarethH5046 unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 hath caused them to errH8582, and they have gone a whoringH2181 from under their GodH430.
They sacrificeH2076 upon the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and burn incenseH6999 upon the hillsH1389, under oaksH437 and poplarsH3839 and elmsH424, because the shadowH6738 thereof is goodH2896: therefore your daughtersH1323 shall commit whoredomH2181, and your spousesH3618 shall commit adulteryH5003.
I will not punishH6485 your daughtersH1323 when they commit whoredomH2181, nor your spousesH3618 when they commit adulteryH5003: for themselves are separatedH6504 with whoresH2181, and they sacrificeH2076 with harlotsH6948: therefore the peopleH5971 that doth not understandH995 shall fallH3832. {I will not: or, Shall I not} {fall: or, be punished}
Though thou, IsraelH3478, play the harlotH2181, yet let not JudahH3063 offendH816; and comeH935 not ye unto GilgalH1537, neither go ye upH5927 to BethavenH1007, nor swearH7650, The LORDH3068 livethH2416.
For IsraelH3478 slideth backH5637 as a backslidingH5637 heiferH6510: now the LORDH3068 will feedH7462 them as a lambH3532 in a large placeH4800.
EphraimH669 is joinedH2266 to idolsH6091: let him aloneH3240.
Their drinkH5435 is sourH5493: they have committed whoredomH2181 continuallyH2181: her rulersH4043 with shameH7036 do loveH157, GiveH3051 ye. {sour: Heb. gone} {rulers: Heb. shields}
The windH7307 hath bound her upH6887 in her wingsH3671, and they shall be ashamedH954 because of their sacrificesH2077.

My peopleH5971 askH7592 counsel at their stocksH6086, and their staffH4731 declarethH5046 unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 hath caused them to errH8582, and they have gone a whoringH2181 from under their GodH430.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, because there is no truthH571, nor mercyH2617, nor knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.
ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cut offH3582 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 lothedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 also abhorredH973 me. {lothed…: Heb. was straightened for them}
For IsraelH3478 hath forgottenH7911 his MakerH6213, and buildethH1129 templesH1964; and JudahH3063 hath multipliedH7235 fencedH1219 citiesH5892: but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his ownerH7069, and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 cribH18: but IsraelH3478 doth not knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth not considerH995.
For I desiredH2654 mercyH2617, and not sacrificeH2077; and the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 more than burnt offeringsH5930.
They wouldH14 none of my counselH6098: they despisedH5006 all my reproofH8433.
Therefore shall they eatH398 of the fruitH6529 of their own wayH1870, and be filledH7646 with their own devicesH4156.
For the turning awayH4878 of the simpleH6612 shall slayH2026 them, and the prosperityH7962 of foolsH3684 shall destroyH6 them. {turning…: or, ease of the simple}
Then saidH559 I, I will not feedH7462 you: that that diethH4191, let it dieH4191; and that that is to be cut offH3582, let it be cut offH3582; and let the restH7604 eatH398 every oneH802 the fleshH1320 of anotherH7468. {another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour}
According to their pastureH4830, so were they filledH7646; they were filledH7646, and their heartH3820 was exaltedH7311; therefore have they forgottenH7911 me.
As for my peopleH5971, childrenH5953 are their oppressorsH5065, and womenH802 ruleH4910 over them. O my peopleH5971, they which leadH833 thee cause thee to errH8582, and destroyH1104 the wayH1870 of thy pathsH734. {lead…: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
Now for a longH7227 seasonH3117 IsraelH3478 hath been withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, and without a teachingH3384 priestH3548, and without lawH8451.
But theyH428 also have erredH7686 through wineH3196, and through strong drinkH7941 are out of the wayH8582; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686 through strong drinkH7941, they are swallowed upH1104 ofH4480 wineH3196, they are out of the wayH8582 through strong drinkH7941; they errH7686 in visionH7203, they stumbleH6328 in judgmentH6417.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, TakeH3947 unto thee yet the instrumentsH3627 of a foolishH196 shepherdH7462.
For, lo, I will raise upH6965 a shepherdH7462 in the landH776, which shall not visitH6485 those that be cut offH3582, neither shall seekH1245 the young oneH5289, nor healH7495 that that is brokenH7665, nor feedH3557 that that standethH5324 still: but he shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277, and tearH6561 their clawsH6541 in piecesH6561. {cut off: or, hidden} {feed: or, bear}
WoeH1945 to the idolH457 shepherdH7473 that leavethH5800 the flockH6629! the swordH2719 shall be upon his armH2220, and upon his rightH3225 eyeH5869: his armH2220 shall be cleanH3001 dried upH3001, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterlyH3543 darkenedH3543.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772. {honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine}
But if they obeyH8085 not, they shall perishH5674 by the swordH7973, and they shall dieH1478 without knowledgeH1847. {perish: Heb. pass away}
His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787: they are all ignorantH3045, they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; sleepingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. {sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
Yea, they are greedyH5794+H5315 dogsH3611 which canH3045 never haveH3045 enoughH7654, and they are shepherdsH7462 that cannot understandH995: they all lookH6437 to their own wayH1870, every oneH376 for his gainH1215, from his quarterH7097. {greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can…: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
ComeH857 ye, say they, I will fetchH3947 wineH3196, and we will fillH5433 ourselves with strong drinkH7941; and to morrowH4279 shall be as this dayH3117, and muchH3966 moreH3499 abundantH1419.
And now, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for you.
If ye will not hearH8085, and if ye will not layH7760 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 a curseH3994 upon you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have cursedH779 them already, because ye do not layH7760 it to heartH3820.
Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one…: or, it shall take you away to it}
The bandsH2256 of the wickedH7563 have robbedH5749 me: but I have not forgottenH7911 thy lawH8451. {bands: or, companies}
For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they have not knownH3045 me; they are sottishH5530 childrenH1121, and they have none understandingH995: they are wiseH2450 to do evilH7489, but to do goodH3190 they have no knowledgeH3045.
Also, that the soulH5315 be without knowledgeH1847, it is not goodH2896; and he that hastethH213 with his feetH7272 sinnethH2398.
The priestsH3548 saidH559 not, Where is the LORDH3068? and they that handleH8610 the lawH8451 knewH3045 me not: the pastorsH7462 also transgressedH6586 against me, and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by BaalH1168, and walkedH1980 afterH310 things that do not profitH3276.
Therefore have I also madeH5414 you contemptibleH959 and baseH8217 before all the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have been partialH5375+H6440 in the lawH8451. {have been…: or, lifted up the face against: Heb. accepted faces}
My zealH7068 hath consumedH6789 me, because mine enemiesH6862 have forgottenH7911 thy wordsH1697. {consumed…: Heb. cut me off}
Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavenH8064 knowethH3045 her appointed timesH4150; and the turtleH8449 and the craneH5483 and the swallowH5693 observeH8104 the timeH6256 of their comingH935; but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 not the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068.
When the boughsH7105 thereof are witheredH3001, they shall be broken offH7665: the womenH802 comeH935, and set them on fireH215: for it is a peopleH5971 of no understandingH998: therefore he that madeH6213 them will not have mercyH7355 on them, and he that formedH3335 them will shew them no favourH2603.
How do ye sayH559, We are wiseH2450, and the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is with us? Lo, certainlyH403 in vainH8267 madeH6213 he it; the penH5842 of the scribesH5608 is in vainH8267. {in vain made…: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}
They sayG3004 unto himG846, He will miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG290 unto otherG243 husbandmenG1092, whichG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG2540.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, Did yeG314 neverG3763 readG314 inG1722 the scripturesG1124, The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137: thisG3778 isG3844 the Lord'sG2962 doingG1096, andG2532 it isG2076 marvellousG2298 inG1722 ourG2257 eyesG3788?
ThereforeG1223+G5124 say IG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 shall be takenG142 fromG575 youG5216, andG2532 givenG1325 to a nationG1484 bringing forthG4160 the fruitsG2590 thereofG846.
AndG2532 whosoever shall fallG4098 onG1909 thisG5126 stoneG3037 shall be brokenG4917: butG1161 onG1909 whomsoeverG3739+G302 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039.
AndG2532 when the chief priestsG749 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 had heardG191 hisG846 parablesG3850, they perceivedG1097 thatG3754 he spakeG3004 ofG4012 themG846.
Because thou hast forgottenH7911 the GodH430 of thy salvationH3468, and hast not been mindfulH2142 of the rockH6697 of thy strengthH4581, therefore shalt thou plantH5193 pleasantH5282 plantsH5194, and shalt setH2232 it with strangeH2114 slipsH2156:
AssembleH6908 yourselves and comeH935; draw nearH5066 togetherH3162, ye that are escapedH6412 of the nationsH1471: they have no knowledgeH3045 that set upH5375 the woodH6086 of their graven imageH6459, and prayH6419 unto a godH410 that cannot saveH3467.
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}
AndG2532 they tookG2983 himG846, and killedG615 him, andG2532 castG1544 him out ofG1854 the vineyardG290.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, WhyG1302 do yeG5210 alsoG2532 transgressG3845 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862?
ForG1063 GodG2316 commandedG1781, sayingG3004, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384: andG2532, He that cursethG2551 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, let him dieG5053 the deathG2288.
ButG1161 yeG5210 sayG3004, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036 to his fatherG3962 orG2228 his motherG3384, It is a giftG1435, byG1537 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou mightest be profitedG5623 by meG1700;
AndG2532 honourG5091 notG3364 hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384, he shall be free. ThusG2532 have ye madeG208 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 byG1223 yourG5216 traditionG3862.
O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they have not grievedH2342; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.
For the priest'sH3548 lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and they should seekH1245 the lawH8451 at his mouthH6310: for he is the messengerH4397 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
WhatG5101 shallG4160 thereforeG3767 the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 doG4160? he will comeG2064 andG2532 destroyG622 the husbandmenG1092, andG2532 will giveG1325 the vineyardG290 unto othersG243.
ThisG3778 peopleG2992 draweth nighG1448 unto meG3427 with theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 honourethG5091 meG3165 with their lipsG5491; butG1161 theirG846 heartG2588 isG568 farG4206 fromG575 meG1700.
Therefore I saidH559, Surely these are poorH1800; they are foolishH2973: for they knowH3045 not the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, nor the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430.
But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {stumble at: or, fall in}
He shall comeG2064 andG2532 destroyG622 theseG5128 husbandmenG1092, andG2532 shall giveG1325 the vineyardG290 to othersG243. AndG1161 when they heardG191 it, they saidG2036, God forbidG3361+G1096.
AndG1161 he beheldG1689 themG846, and saidG2036, WhatG5101 isG2076 thisG5124 thenG3767 that is writtenG1125, The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096 the headG2776 ofG1519 the cornerG1137?
WhosoeverG3956 shall fallG4098 uponG1909 thatG1565 stoneG3037 shall be brokenG4917; butG1161 onG1909 whomsoeverG3739+G302 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039.
AndG1161 JesseG2421 begatG1080 DavidG1138 the kingG935; andG1161 DavidG1138 the kingG935 begatG1080 SolomonG4672 ofG1537 herG3588 that had been the wife of UriasG3774;
HearH8085 now this, O foolishH5530 peopleH5971, and without understandingH3820; which have eyesH5869, and seeH7200 not; which have earsH241, and hearH8085 not: {understanding: Heb. heart}
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, whichG3588 sayG3004, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the goldG5557 of the templeG3485, he is a debtorG3784!
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 isG2076 greaterG3187, the goldG5557, orG2228 the templeG3485 that sanctifiethG37 the goldG5557?
AndG2532, WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 swearethG3660 byG1722 the giftG1435 that is uponG1883 itG846, he is guiltyG3784. {guilty: or, debtor, or, bound}
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, the giftG1435, orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiethG37 the giftG1435?
Whoso thereforeG3767 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 all thingsG3956 thereonG1883+G846.
AndG2532 whoso shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 him that dwellethG2730 thereinG846.
AndG2532 he that shall swearG3660 byG1722 heavenG3772, swearethG3660 byG1722 the throneG2362 of GodG2316, andG2532 byG1722 him that sittethG2521 thereonG1883+G846.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye pay titheG586 of mintG2238 andG2532 aniseG432 andG2532 cumminG2951, andG2532 have omittedG863 the weightierG926 matters of the lawG3551, judgmentG2920+G2532, mercyG1656, andG2532 faithG4102: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863. {anise: Gr. dill}
Ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, which strain atG1368 a gnatG2971, andG1161 swallowG2666 a camelG2574.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 of the platterG3953, butG1161 withinG2081 they are fullG1073 ofG1537 extortionG724 andG2532 excessG192.
Thou blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, cleanseG2511 firstG4412 that which is withinG1787 the cupG4221 andG2532 platterG3953, thatG2443 the outsideG1622 of themG846 may beG1096 cleanG2513 alsoG2532.
And did I chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to offerH5927 upon mine altarH4196, to burnH6999 incenseH7004, to wearH5375 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 me? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offerings made by fireH801 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478?
Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cut offH1438 thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, that there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004.
And thou shalt seeH5027 an enemyH6862 in my habitationH4583, in all the wealth which God shall giveH3190 IsraelH3478: and there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004 for everH3117. {an enemy…: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}
And the manH376 of thine, whom I shall not cut offH3772 from mine altarH4196, shall be to consumeH3615 thine eyesH5869, and to grieveH109 thine heartH5315: and all the increaseH4768 of thine houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their ageH582. {in the flower…: Heb. men}
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, that shall comeH935 upon thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, on HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372; in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 bothH8147 of them.
And I will raise me upH6965 a faithfulH539 priestH3548, that shall doH6213 according to that which is in mine heartH3824 and in my mindH5315: and I will buildH1129 him a sureH539 houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 mine anointedH4899 for everH3117.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 in thine houseH1004 shall comeH935 and crouchH7812 to him for a pieceH95 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of breadH3899, and shall sayH559, PutH5596 me, I pray thee, into oneH259 of the priests' officesH3550, that I may eatH398 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899. {Put: Heb. Join} {one of…: or, somewhat about the priesthood}
LetG863 themG846 aloneG863: they beG1526 blindG5185 leadersG3595 of the blindG5185. AndG1161 ifG1437 the blindG5185 leadG3594 the blindG5185, bothG297 shall fallG4098 intoG1519 the ditchG999.
In that dayH3117 I will performH6965 against EliH5941 all things which I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 his houseH1004: when I beginH2490, I will also make an endH3615. {when…: Heb. beginning and ending}
For I have toldH5046 him that I will judgeH8199 his houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769 for the iniquityH5771 which he knowethH3045; because his sonsH1121 made themselves vileH7043, and he restrainedH3543 them not. {For I…: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained…: Heb. frowned not upon them}
And therefore I have swornH7650 unto the houseH1004 of EliH5941, that the iniquityH5771 of Eli'sH5941 houseH1004 shall not be purgedH3722 with sacrificeH2077 nor offeringH4503 forH5704 everH5769.
And SamuelH8050 layH7901 until the morningH1242, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 fearedH3372 to shewH5046 EliH5941 the visionH4759.
ButG1161 ifG1499 ourG2257 gospelG2098 beG2076 hidG2572, it isG2076 hidG2572 toG1722 them that are lostG622:
InG1722 whomG3739 the godG2316 of thisG5127 worldG165 hath blindedG5186 the mindsG3540 of them which believe notG571, lestG1519+G3361 the lightG5462 of the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 isG2076 the imageG1504 of GodG2316, should shineG826 unto themG846.
ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223.
ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655+G3739, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}
