HearH8085 ye this, O priestsH3548; and hearkenH7181, ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and give ye earH238, O houseH1004 of the kingH4428; for judgmentH4941 is toward you, because ye have been a snareH6341 on MizpahH4709, and a netH7568 spreadH6566 upon TaborH8396.
And the revoltersH7846 are profoundH6009 to make slaughterH7819, though I have been a rebukerH4148 of them all. {though: or, and} {a rebuker: Heb. a correction}
I knowH3045 EphraimH669, and IsraelH3478 is not hidH3582 from me: for now, O EphraimH669, thou committest whoredomH2181, and IsraelH3478 is defiledH2930.
They will not frameH5414 their doingsH4611 to turnH7725 unto their GodH430: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 is in the midstH7130 of them, and they have not knownH3045 the LORDH3068. {They will…: or, Their doings will not suffer them} {frame: Heb. give}
And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: therefore shall IsraelH3478 and EphraimH669 fallH3782 in their iniquityH5771; JudahH3063 also shall fallH3782 with them.
They shall goH3212 with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068; but they shall not findH4672 him; he hath withdrawnH2502 himself from them.
They have dealt treacherouslyH898 against the LORDH3068: for they have begottenH3205 strangeH2114 childrenH1121: now shall a monthH2320 devourH398 them with their portionsH2506.
BlowH8628 ye the cornetH7782 in GibeahH1390, and the trumpetH2689 in RamahH7414: cry aloudH7321 at BethavenH1007, afterH310 thee, O BenjaminH1144.
EphraimH669 shall be desolateH8047 in the dayH3117 of rebukeH8433: among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 have I made knownH3045 that which shall surely beH539.
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 were like them that removeH5253 the boundH1366: therefore I will pour outH8210 my wrathH5678 upon them like waterH4325.
EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgmentH4941, because he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandmentH6673.
Therefore will I be unto EphraimH669 as a mothH6211, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 as rottennessH7538. {rottenness: or, a worm}
When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 saw his woundH4205, then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the AssyrianH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH3377+H7378: yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, nor cureH1455 you of your woundH4205. {king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead}
For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.
I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my placeH4725, till they acknowledge their offenceH816, and seekH1245 my faceH6440: in their afflictionH6862 they will seek me earlyH7836. {acknowledge…: Heb. be guilty}

They shall goH3212 with their flocksH6629 and with their herdsH1241 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068; but they shall not findH4672 him; he hath withdrawnH2502 himself from them.
O IsraelH3478, returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; for thou hast fallenH3782 by thine iniquityH5771.
TakeH3947 with you wordsH1697, and turnH7725 to the LORDH3068: sayH559 unto him, Take awayH5375 all iniquityH5771, and receiveH3947 us graciouslyH2896: so will we renderH7999 the calvesH6499 of our lipsH8193. {receive…: or, give good}
AsshurH804 shall not saveH3467 us; we will not rideH7392 upon horsesH5483: neither will we sayH559 any more to the workH4639 of our handsH3027, Ye are our godsH430: for in thee the fatherlessH3490 findeth mercyH7355.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068: for he had nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270; and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 he mightilyH2394 oppressedH3905 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And thou shalt putH5414 the mercy seatH3727 aboveH4605 upon the arkH727; and in the arkH727 thou shalt putH5414 the testimonyH5715 that I shall giveH5414 thee.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
Then will I rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and also my covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and also my covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 will I rememberH2142; and I will rememberH2142 the landH776.
And IsraelH3478 was greatlyH3966 impoverishedH1809 becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068.
And there I will meetH3259 with thee, and I will communeH1696 with thee from above the mercy seatH3727, from betweenH996 the twoH8147 cherubimsH3742 which are uponH5921 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, of all things which I will give thee in commandmentH6680 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
But if from thence thou shalt seekH1245 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, thou shalt findH4672 him, if thou seekH1875 him with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315.
When thou art in tribulationH6862, and all these thingsH1697 are comeH4672 upon thee, even in the latterH319 daysH3117, if thou turnH7725 to the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt be obedientH8085 unto his voiceH6963; {are…: Heb. have found thee}
(For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is a mercifulH7349 GodH410;) he will not forsakeH7503 thee, neither destroyH7843 thee, nor forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of thy fathersH1 which he swareH7650 unto them.
And it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH182 of the MidianitesH4080,
And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 were come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205.
I have surelyH1129 builtH1129 thee an houseH1004 to dwell inH2073, a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide inH3427 for everH5769.
And it shall come to pass, when all these thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon thee, the blessingH1293 and the curseH7045, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 thee, and thou shalt callH7725 them to mindH3824 among all the nationsH1471, whither the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath drivenH5080 thee,
And shalt returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt obeyH8085 his voiceH6963 according to all that I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, thou and thy childrenH1121, with all thine heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315;
That then the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will turnH7725 thy captivityH7622, and have compassionH7355 upon thee, and will returnH7725 and gatherH6908 thee from all the nationsH5971, whither the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath scatteredH6327 thee.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398 against thee, both because we have forsakenH5800 our GodH430, and also servedH5647 BaalimH1168.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Did not I deliver you from the EgyptiansH4714, and from the AmoritesH567, from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and from the PhilistinesH6430?
The ZidoniansH6722 also, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the MaonitesH4584, did oppressH3905 you; and ye criedH6817 to me, and I deliveredH3467 you out of their handH3027.
Yet ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430: wherefore I will deliverH3467 you no moreH3254.
GoH3212 and cryH2199 unto the godsH430 which ye have chosenH977; let themH1992 deliverH3467 you in the timeH6256 of your tribulationH6869.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, We have sinnedH2398: doH6213 thou unto us whatsoever seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto thee; deliverH5337 us only, we pray thee, this dayH3117. {seemeth…: Heb. is good in thine eyes}
And they put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 from amongH7130 them, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068: and his soulH5315 was grievedH7114 for the miseryH5999 of IsraelH3478. {strange…: Heb. gods of strangers} {grieved: Heb. shortened}
Yet if they shall bethinkH7725 themselves in the landH776 whither they were carried captivesH7617, and repentH7725+H3820, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captivesH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perverselyH5753, we have committed wickednessH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh outH3318 of his placeH4725 to punishH6485 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall discloseH1540 her bloodH1818, and shall no more coverH3680 her slainH2026. {blood: Heb. bloods}
And so returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824, and with all their soulH5315, in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, which led them away captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
He saidH559 furthermore unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, seestH7200 thou what they doH6213? even the greatH1419 abominationsH8441 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 committethH6213 here, that I should go far offH7368 from my sanctuaryH4720? but turnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441.
If they sinH2398 against thee, (for there is no manH120 which sinnethH2398 not,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them over beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and they carry them awayH7617 captivesH7617 unto a landH776 far offH7350 or nearH7138; {they carry them away captives: Heb. they that take them captives carry them away}
For what is the hopeH8615 of the hypocriteH2611, though he hath gainedH1214, when GodH433 taketh awayH7953 his soulH5315?
Will GodH410 hearH8085 his cryH6818 when troubleH6869 comethH935 upon him?
Will he delightH6026 himself in the AlmightyH7706? will he alwaysH6256 callH7121 upon GodH433?
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH7311 from the cherubH3742, and stood over the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004; and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051, and the courtH2691 was fullH4390 of the brightnessH5051 of the LORD'SH3068 gloryH3519. {went up: Heb. was lifted up}
Yet if they bethinkH7725+H3824 themselves in the landH776 whither they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 and prayH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, we have done amissH5753, and have dealt wickedlyH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH5927 from the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, and stoodH5975 upon the mountainH2022 which is on the east sideH6924 of the cityH5892.
If my peopleH5971, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselves, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh forthH3318 out of his placeH4725, and will come downH3381, and treadH1869 upon the high placesH1116 of the earthH776.
RememberH2142, I beseech thee, the wordH1697 that thou commandedstH6680 thy servantH5650 MosesH4872, sayingH559, If ye transgressH4603, I will scatter you abroadH6327 among the nationsH5971:
But if ye turnH7725 unto me, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them; though there were of you cast outH5080 unto the uttermost partH7097 of the heavenH8064, yet will I gatherH6908 them from thence, and will bringH935 them unto the placeH4725 that I have chosenH977 to setH7931 my nameH8034 there.
When your fearH6343 comethH935 as desolationH7722+H7584, and your destructionH343 comethH857 as a whirlwindH5492; when distressH6869 and anguishH6695 comethH935 upon you.
He lookethH7789 upon menH582, and if any sayH559, I have sinnedH2398, and pervertedH5753 that which was rightH3477, and it profitedH7737 me not; {He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say}
Then shall they callH7121 upon me, but I will not answerH6030; they shall seek me earlyH7836, but they shall not findH4672 me:
Thou meetestH6293 him that rejoicethH7797 and workethH6213 righteousnessH6664, those that rememberH2142 thee in thy waysH1870: behold, thou art wrothH7107; for we have sinnedH2398: in those is continuanceH5769, and we shall be savedH3467.
But we are all as an uncleanH2931 thing, and all our righteousnessesH6666 are as filthyH5708 ragsH899; and we all do fadeH5034+H1101 as a leafH5929; and our iniquitiesH5771, like the windH7307, have taken us awayH5375.
And there is none that callethH7121 upon thy nameH8034, that stirreth upH5782 himself to take holdH2388 of thee: for thou hast hidH5641 thy faceH6440 from us, and hast consumedH4127 us, becauseH3027 of our iniquitiesH5771. {consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand}
But now, O LORDH3068, thou art our fatherH1; we are the clayH2563, and thou our potterH3335; and we all are the workH4639 of thy handH3027.
Be not wrothH7107 very soreH3966, O LORDH3068, neither rememberH2142 iniquityH5771 for everH5703: behold, seeH5027, we beseech thee, we are all thy peopleH5971.
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.
With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 will learnH3925 righteousnessH6664.
Then shall ye callH7121 upon me, and ye shall goH1980 and prayH6419 unto me, and I will hearkenH8085 unto you.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
And I will be foundH4672 of you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and I will turn awayH7725 your captivityH7622+H7622, and I will gatherH6908 you from all the nationsH1471, and from all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will bring you againH7725 into the placeH4725 whence I caused you to be carried away captiveH1540.
LORDH3068, in troubleH6862 have they visitedH6485 thee, they poured outH6694 a prayerH3908 when thy chasteningH4148 was upon them. {prayer: Heb. secret speech}
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}
SayingH559 to a stockH6086, Thou art my fatherH1; and to a stoneH68, Thou hast brought me forthH3205: for they have turnedH6437 their backH6203 unto me, and not their faceH6440: but in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451 they will sayH559, AriseH6965, and saveH3467 us. {brought…: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
And they that escapeH6412 of you shall rememberH2142 me among the nationsH1471 whither they shall be carried captivesH7617, because I am brokenH7665 with their whorishH2181 heartH3820, which hath departedH5493 from me, and with their eyesH5869, which go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their idolsH1544: and they shall lotheH6962 themselvesH6440 for the evilsH7451 which they have committedH6213 in all their abominationsH8441.
Gather yourselves togetherH7197, yea, gather togetherH7197, O nationH1471 not desiredH3700; {not…: or, not desirous}
Before the decreeH2706 bring forthH3205, before the dayH3117 passH5674 as the chaffH4671, beforeH3808 the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 comeH935 upon you, before the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 comeH935 upon you.
SeekH1245 ye the LORDH3068, all ye meekH6035 of the earthH776, which have wroughtH6466 his judgmentH4941; seekH1245 righteousnessH6664, seekH1245 meeknessH6038: it may beH194 ye shall be hidH5641 in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639.
And there shall ye rememberH2142 your waysH1870, and all your doingsH5949, wherein ye have been defiledH2930; and ye shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for all your evilsH7451 that ye have committedH6213.
When onceG575+G3739+G302 the master of the houseG3617 is risen upG1453, andG2532 hath shutG608 to the doorG2374, andG2532 ye beginG756 to standG2476 withoutG1854, andG2532 to knockG2925 at the doorG2374, sayingG3004, LordG2962, LordG2962, openG455 unto usG2254; andG2532 he shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto youG5213, I knowG1492 youG5209 notG3756 whenceG4159 ye areG2075:
Then shall ye rememberH2142 your own evilH7451 waysH1870, and your doingsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your iniquitiesH5771 and for your abominationsH8441.
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
