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.

The priestH3548 that offereth it for sinH2398 shall eatH398 it: in the holyH6918 placeH4725 shall it be eatenH398, in the courtH2691 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
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?

He that hath cleanH5355 handsH3709, and a pureH1249 heartH3824; who hath not lifted upH5375 his soulH5315 unto vanityH7723, nor swornH7650 deceitfullyH4820. {He…: Heb. The clean of hands}

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}
SonH1121 of manH120, these menH582 have set upH5927 their idolsH1544 in their heartH3820, and putH5414 the stumblingblockH4383 of their iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 their faceH6440: should I be enquiredH1875 of at allH1875 by them?
For every oneH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 in IsraelH3478, which separatethH5144 himself from meH310, and setteth upH5927 his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, and puttethH7760 the stumblingblockH4383 of his iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 his faceH6440, and comethH935 to a prophetH5030 to enquireH1875 of him concerning me; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him by myself:
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
Who is there even among you that would shutH5462 the doorsH1817 for nought? neither do ye kindleH215 fire on mine altarH4196 for noughtH2600. I have no pleasureH2656 in you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, neither will I acceptH7521 an offeringH4503 at your handH3027.
