HearH8085 this, ye old menH2205, and give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1?
TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755.
That which the palmerwormH1501 hath leftH3499 hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath leftH3499 hath the cankerwormH3218 eatenH398; and that which the cankerwormH3218 hath leftH3499 hath the caterpillerH2625 eatenH398. {That which the palmerworm…: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm}
AwakeH6974, ye drunkardsH7910, and weepH1058; and howlH3213, all ye drinkersH8354 of wineH3196, because of the new wineH6071; for it is cut offH3772 from your mouthH6310.
For a nationH1471 is come upH5927 upon my landH776, strongH6099, and without numberH4557, whose teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH738, and he hath the cheek teethH4973 of a great lionH3833.
He hath laidH7760 my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barkedH7111 my fig treeH8384: he hath made it cleanH2834 bareH2834, and cast it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are made whiteH3835. {barked…: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking}
LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271.
The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD'SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56.
The fieldH7704 is wastedH7703, the landH127 mournethH56; for the cornH1715 is wastedH7703: the new wineH8492 is dried upH3001, the oilH3323 languishethH535.
Be ye ashamedH3001, O ye husbandmenH406; howlH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; because the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6.
The vineH1612 is dried upH3001, and the fig treeH8384 languishethH535; the pomegranateH7416 tree, the palm treeH8558 also, and the apple treeH8598, even all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, are witheredH3001: because joyH8342 is withered awayH3001 from the sonsH1121 of menH120.
GirdH2296 yourselves, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548: howlH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196: comeH935, lie all nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is withholdenH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.
SanctifyH6942 ye a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068, {solemn…: or, day of restraint}
AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138, and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935.
Is not the meatH400 cut offH3772 before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?
The seedH6507 is rottenH5685 under their clodsH4053, the garnersH214 are laid desolateH8074, the barnsH4460 are broken downH2040; for the cornH1715 is witheredH3001. {seed: Heb. grains}
How do the beastsH929 groanH584! the herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 are perplexedH943, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are made desolateH816.
O LORDH3068, to thee will I cryH7121: for the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, and the flameH3852 hath burnedH3857 all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. {pastures: or, habitations}
The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 also unto thee: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are dried upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.

And that thou mayest tellH5608 in the earsH241 of thy sonH1121, and of thy son'sH1121 sonH1121, what things I have wroughtH5953 in EgyptH4714, and my signsH226 which I have doneH7760 among them; that ye may knowH3045 how that I am the LORDH3068.
And it shall be when thy sonH1121 askethH7592 thee in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What is this? that thou shalt sayH559 unto him, By strengthH2392 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought us outH3318 from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650: {in…: Heb. to morrow}
And thou shalt teach them diligentlyH8150 unto thy childrenH1121, and shalt talkH1696 of them when thou sittestH3427 in thine houseH1004, and when thou walkestH3212 by the wayH1870, and when thou liest downH7901, and when thou risest upH6965. {teach: Heb. whet, or, sharpen}
That this may be a signH226 amongH7130 you, that when your childrenH1121 askH7592 their fathers in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean ye by these stonesH68? {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
Then ye shall answerH559 them, That the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068; when it passed overH5674 JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772: and these stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
And he spakeH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, When your childrenH1121 shall askH7592 their fathersH1 in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean these stonesH68? {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
Then ye shall let your childrenH1121 knowH3045, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 came overH5674 this JordanH3383 on dry landH3004.
To the chief MusicianH5329 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141, MaschilH4905. We have heardH8085 with our earsH241, O GodH430, our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us, what workH6467 thou didstH6466 in their daysH3117, in the timesH3117 of oldH6924.
Now also whenH5704 I am oldH2209 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not; until I have shewedH5046 thy strengthH2220 unto this generationH1755, and thy powerH1369 to every one that is to comeH935. {when…: Heb. unto old age and gray hairs} {thy strength: Heb. thine arm}
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
