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.

But whoso committeth adulteryH5003 with a womanH802 lackethH2638 understandingH3820: he that doethH6213 it destroyethH7843 his own soulH5315. {understanding: Heb. heart}
WineH3196 is a mockerH3887, strong drinkH7941 is ragingH1993: and whosoever is deceivedH7686 thereby is not wiseH2449.
For a whoreH2181 is a deepH6013 ditchH7745; and a strange womanH5237 is a narrowH6862 pitH875.
She also lieth in waitH693 as for a preyH2863, and increasethH3254 the transgressorsH898 among menH120. {as for…: or, as a robber}
Who hath woeH188? who hath sorrowH17? who hath contentionsH4079+H4066? who hath babblingH7879? who hath woundsH6482 without causeH2600? who hath rednessH2448 of eyesH5869?
They that tarry longH309 at the wineH3196; they that goH935 to seekH2713 mixed wineH4469.
LookH7200 not thou upon the wineH3196 when it is redH119, when it givethH5414 his colourH5869 in the cupH3563+H3599, when it movethH1980 itself arightH4339.
At the lastH319 it bitethH5391 like a serpentH5175, and stingethH6567 like an adderH6848. {an…: or, a cockatrice}
Thine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 strange womenH2114, and thine heartH3820 shall utterH1696 perverse thingsH8419.
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth downH7901 in the midstH3820 of the seaH3220, or as he that liethH7901 upon the topH7218 of a mastH2260. {the midst…: Heb. the heart of the sea}
They have strickenH5221 me, shalt thou say, and I was not sickH2470; they have beatenH1986 me, and I feltH3045 it not: when shall I awakeH6974? I will seekH1245 it yetH3254 again. {I felt…: Heb. I knew it not}
Surely oppressionH6233 maketh a wise manH2450 madH1984; and a giftH4979 destroyethH6 the heartH3820.
And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.
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.
AndG1161 take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438, lest at any timeG3379 yourG5216 heartsG2588 be overchargedG925 withG1722 surfeitingG2897, andG2532 drunkennessG3178, andG2532 caresG3308 of this lifeG982, andG2532 so thatG1565 dayG2250 comeG2186 uponG1909 youG5209 unawaresG160.
AndG2532 thatG5124, knowingG1492 the timeG2540, thatG3754 nowG2235 it is high timeG5610 to awakeG2248+G1453 out ofG1537 sleepG5258: forG1063 nowG3568 is ourG2257 salvationG4991 nearerG1452 thanG2228 whenG3753 we believedG4100.
The nightG3571 is far spentG4298+G1161, the dayG2250 is at handG1448: let usG659 thereforeG3767 cast offG659 the worksG2041 of darknessG4655, andG2532 let us put onG1746 the armourG3696 of lightG5457.
Let us walkG4043 honestlyG2156, asG5613 inG1722 the dayG2250; notG3361 in riotingG2970 andG2532 drunkennessG3178, notG3361 in chamberingG2845 andG2532 wantonnessG766, notG3361 in strifeG2054 andG2532 envyingG2205. {honestly: or, decently}
ButG235 put ye onG1746 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 makeG4160 notG3361 provisionG4307 forG1519 the fleshG4561, to fulfil the lustsG1939 thereof.
