HearH8085 ye this wordH1697 which I take upH5375 against you, even a lamentationH7015, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
The virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 is fallenH5307; she shall no moreH3254 riseH6965: she is forsakenH5203 upon her landH127; there is none to raise her upH6965.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; The cityH5892 that went outH3318 by a thousandH505 shall leaveH7604 an hundredH3967, and that which went forthH3318 by an hundredH3967 shall leaveH7604 tenH6235, to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:
But seekH1875 not BethelH1008, nor enterH935 into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540, and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and ye shall liveH2421; lest he break outH6743 like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and devourH398 it, and there be none to quenchH3518 it in BethelH1008.
Ye who turnH2015 judgmentH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and leave offH3240 righteousnessH6666 in the earthH776,
Seek him that makethH6213 the seven starsH3598 and OrionH3685, and turnethH2015 the shadow of deathH6757 into the morningH1242, and maketh the dayH3117 darkH2821 with nightH3915: that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034:
That strengthenethH1082 the spoiledH7701 against the strongH5794, so that the spoiledH7701 shall comeH935 against the fortressH4013. {spoiled: Heb. spoil}
They hateH8130 him that rebukethH3198 in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581 him that speakethH1696 uprightlyH8549.
ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318 is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947 from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 of them. {pleasant…: Heb. vineyards of desire}
For I knowH3045 your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887 the justH6662, they takeH3947 a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186 the poorH34 in the gateH8179 from their right. {a bribe: or, a ransom}
Therefore the prudentH7919 shall keep silenceH1826 in that timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256.
SeekH1875 goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421: and so the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, shall be with you, as ye have spokenH559.
HateH8130 the evilH7451, and loveH157 the goodH2896, and establishH3322 judgmentH4941 in the gateH8179: it may be that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635 will be graciousH2603 unto the remnantH7611 of JosephH3130.
Therefore the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the LordH136, saithH559 thus; WailingH4553 shall be in all streetsH7339; and they shall sayH559 in all the highwaysH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandmanH406 to mourningH60, and such as are skilfulH3045 of lamentationH5092 to wailingH4553.
And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553: for I will passH5674 throughH7130 thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
Shall not the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
I hateH8130, I despiseH3988 your feast daysH2282, and I will not smellH7306 in your solemn assembliesH6116. {in…: or, your holy days}
Though ye offerH5927 me burnt offeringsH5930 and your meat offeringsH4503, I will not acceptH7521 them: neither will I regardH5027 the peace offeringsH8002 of your fat beastsH4806. {peace…: or, thank offerings}
Take thou awayH5493 from me the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892; for I will not hearH8085 the melodyH2172 of thy violsH5035.
But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556 as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 streamH5158. {run: Heb. roll}
Have ye offeredH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
But ye have borneH5375 the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your godH430, which ye madeH6213 to yourselves. {the tabernacle…: or, Siccuth your king}
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834, saithH559 the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is The GodH430 of hostsH6635.

For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:
If fireH784 break outH3318, and catchH4672 in thornsH6975, so that the stacks of cornH1430, or the standing cornH7054, or the fieldH7704, be consumedH398 therewith; he that kindledH1197 the fireH1200 shall surelyH7999 make restitutionH7999.
That drinkH8354 wineH3196 in bowlsH4219, and anointH4886 themselves with the chiefH7225 ointmentsH8081: but they are not grievedH2470 for the afflictionH7667 of JosephH3130. {wine…: or, in bowls of wine} {affliction: Heb. breach}
And the strongH2634 shall be as towH5296, and the makerH6467 of it as a sparkH5213, and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197 togetherH3162, and none shall quenchH3518 them. {maker…: or, and his work}
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
And IsraelH3478 beheldH7200 Joseph'sH3130 sonsH1121, and saidH559, Who are these?
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, They are my sonsH1121, whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 me in this place. And he saidH559, Bring themH3947, I pray thee, unto me, and I will blessH1288 them.
Now the eyesH5869 of IsraelH3478 were dimH3513 for ageH2207, so that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. And he brought them nearH5066 unto him; and he kissedH5401 them, and embracedH2263 them. {dim: Heb. heavy}
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I had not thoughtH6419 to seeH7200 thy faceH6440: and, lo, GodH430 hath shewedH7200 me also thy seedH2233.
And JosephH3130 brought them outH3318 from betweenH5973 his kneesH1290, and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 to the earthH776.
And JosephH3130 tookH3947 them bothH8147, EphraimH669 in his right handH3225 toward Israel'sH3478 left handH8040, and ManassehH4519 in his left handH8040 toward Israel'sH3478 right handH3225, and brought them nearH5066 unto him.
And IsraelH3478 stretched outH7971 his right handH3225, and laidH7896 it upon Ephraim'sH669 headH7218, who was the youngerH6810, and his left handH8040 upon Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218, guidingH7919 his handsH3027 wittinglyH7919; for ManassehH4519 was the firstbornH1060.
And he blessedH1288 JosephH3130, and saidH559, GodH430, beforeH6440 whom my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 did walkH1980, the GodH430 which fedH7462 me all my life longH5750 unto this dayH3117,
The AngelH4397 which redeemedH1350 me from all evilH7451, blessH1288 the ladsH5288; and let my nameH8034 be namedH7121 on them, and the nameH8034 of my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327; and let them growH1711 into a multitudeH7230 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. {grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 that his fatherH1 laidH7896 his rightH3225 handH3027 upon the headH7218 of EphraimH669, it displeasedH3415+H5869 him: and he held upH8551 his father'sH1 handH3027, to removeH5493 it from Ephraim'sH669 headH7218 unto Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218. {displeased…: was evil in his eyes}
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Not so, my fatherH1: for this is the firstbornH1060; putH7760 thy right handH3225 upon his headH7218.
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessedH1288 them that dayH3117, sayingH559, In thee shall IsraelH3478 blessH1288, sayingH559, GodH430 makeH7760 thee as EphraimH669 and as ManassehH4519: and he setH7760 EphraimH669 beforeH6440 ManassehH4519.
CircumciseH4135 yourselves to the LORDH3068, and take awayH5493 the foreskinsH6190 of your heartH3824, ye menH376 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: lest my furyH2534 come forthH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that none can quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611.
And they shall divideH2505 it into sevenH7651 partsH2506: JudahH3063 shall abideH5975 in their coastH1366 on the southH5045, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 shall abideH5975 in their coastsH1366 on the northH6828.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, mine angerH639 and my furyH2534 shall be poured outH5413 upon this placeH4725, upon manH120, and upon beastH929, and upon the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, and upon the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it shall burnH1197, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, they also went upH5927 against BethelH1008: and the LORDH3068 was with them.
And sayH559 to the forestH3293 of the southH5045, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in thee, and it shall devourH398 every greenH3892 treeH6086 in thee, and every dryH3002 treeH6086: the flamingH3852 flameH7957 shall not be quenchedH3518, and all facesH6440 from the southH5045 to the northH6828 shall be burnedH6866 therein.
And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 sent to descryH8446 BethelH1008. (Now the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 beforeH6440 was LuzH3870.)
And all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 that I the LORDH3068 have kindledH1197 it: it shall not be quenchedH3518.
For thy servantH5650 doth knowH3045 that I have sinnedH2398: therefore, behold, I am comeH935 the firstH7223 this dayH3117 of all the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 to go downH3381 to meetH7125 my lordH113 the kingH4428.
AndG2532 ifG1437 thyG4675 handG5495 offendG4624 theeG4571, cutG609 itG846 offG609: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enterG1525 intoG1519 lifeG2222 maimedG2948, thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 handsG5495 to goG565 intoG1519 hellG1067, intoG1519 the fireG4442 that never shall be quenchedG762: {offend…: or, cause thee to offend}
WhereG3699 theirG846 wormG4663 diethG5053 notG3756, andG2532 the fireG4442 isG4570 notG3756 quenchedG4570.
AndG2532 ifG1437 thyG4675 footG4228 offendG4624 theeG4571, cutG609 itG846 offG609: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enterG1525 haltG5560 intoG1519 lifeG2222, thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 feetG4228 to be castG906 intoG1519 hellG1067, intoG1519 the fireG4442 that never shall be quenchedG762: {offend…: or, cause thee to offend}
WhereG3699 theirG846 wormG4663 diethG5053 notG3756, andG2532 the fireG4442 isG4570 notG3756 quenchedG4570.
AndG2532 ifG1437 thineG4675 eyeG3788 offendG4624 theeG4571, pluckG1544 itG846 outG1544: it isG2076 betterG2570 for theeG4671 to enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 with one eyeG3442, thanG2228 havingG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788 to be castG906 intoG1519 hellG1067 fireG4442: {offend…: or, cause thee to offend}
WhereG3699 theirG846 wormG4663 diethG5053 notG3756, andG2532 the fireG4442 isG4570 notG3756 quenchedG4570.
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
SayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, which is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 his fellowsH2270, and will putH5414 them with him, even with the stickH6086 of JudahH3063, and makeH6213 them oneH259 stickH6086, and they shall be oneH259 in mine handH3027.
And I will strengthenH1396 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and I will saveH3467 the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and I will bring them again to placeH3427 them; for I have mercyH7355 upon them: and they shall be as thoughH834 I had not cast them offH2186: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will hearH6030 them.
