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.

HearH8085 this wordH1697, ye kineH6510 of BashanH1316, that are in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which oppressH6231 the poorH1800, which crushH7533 the needyH34, which sayH559 to their mastersH113, BringH935, and let us drinkH8354.
Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lieH7901+H7693 with her: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt not dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt not gather the grapesH2490 thereof. {gather…: Heb. profane, or, use it as common meat}
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
Thou shalt carryH3318 muchH7227 seedH2233 outH3318 into the fieldH7704, and shalt gatherH622 but littleH4592 inH622; for the locustH697 shall consumeH2628 it.
WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427 alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776! {they: Heb. ye}
Thou shalt plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and dressH5647 them, but shalt neither drinkH8354 of the wineH3196, nor gatherH103 the grapes; for the wormsH8438 shall eatH398 them.
In transgressingH6586 and lyingH3584 against the LORDH3068, and departing awayH5253 fromH310 our GodH430, speakingH1696 oppressionH6233 and revoltH5627, conceivingH2029 and utteringH1897 from the heartH3820 wordsH1697 of falsehoodH8267.
And they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And judgmentH4941 is turned awayH5253 backwardH268, and justiceH6666 standethH5975 afar offH7350: for truthH571 is fallenH3782 in the streetH7339, and equityH5229 cannotH3201 enterH935.
They shall not buildH1129, and anotherH312 inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and anotherH312 eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086 the workH4639 of their handsH3027. {shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
And they covetH2530 fieldsH7704, and take them by violenceH1497; and housesH1004, and take them awayH5375: so they oppressH6231 a manH1397 and his houseH1004, even a manH376 and his heritageH5159. {oppress: or, defraud}
Thou shalt sowH2232, but thou shalt not reapH7114; thou shalt treadH1869 the olivesH2132, but thou shalt not anointH5480 thee with oilH8081; and sweet wineH8492, but shalt not drinkH8354 wineH3196.
And I saidH559, HearH8085, I pray you, O headsH7218 of JacobH3290, and ye princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; Is it not for you to knowH3045 judgmentH4941?
Who hateH8130 the goodH2896, and loveH157 the evilH7451; who pluck offH1497 their skinH5785 from off them, and their fleshH7607 from off their bonesH6106;
Who also eatH398 the fleshH7607 of my peopleH5971, and flayH6584 their skinH5785 from off them; and they breakH6476 their bonesH6106, and chop them in piecesH6566, as for the potH5518, and as fleshH1320 withinH8432 the caldronH7037.
Therefore their goodsH2428 shall become a bootyH4933, and their housesH1004 a desolationH8077: they shall also buildH1129 housesH1004, but not inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, but not drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof.
ButG1161 yeG5210 have despisedG818 the poorG4434. DoG2616 notG3756 rich menG4145 oppressG2616 youG5216, andG2532 drawG846+G1670 youG5209 beforeG1519 the judgment seatsG2922?
Ye have sownH2232 muchH7235, and bringH935 in littleH4592; ye eatH398, but ye have not enoughH7654; ye drinkH8354, but ye are not filled with drinkH7937; ye clotheH3847 you, but there is none warmH2527; and he that earneth wagesH7936 earneth wagesH7936 to put it into a bagH6872 with holesH5344. {with holes: Heb. pierced through}
AndG2532 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 shall lie inG1909 the streetG4113 of the greatG3173 cityG4172, whichG3748 spirituallyG4153 is calledG2564 SodomG4670 andG2532 EgyptG125, whereG3699 alsoG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 was crucifiedG4717.
AndG2532 theyG991 ofG1537 the peopleG2992 andG2532 kindredsG5443 andG2532 tonguesG1100 andG2532 nationsG1484 shall seeG991 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 an halfG2255, andG2532 shallG863 notG3756 sufferG863 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 to be putG5087 inG1519 gravesG3418.
AndG2532 they that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093 shall rejoiceG5463 overG1909 themG846, andG2532 make merryG2165, andG2532 shall sendG3992 giftsG1435 one to anotherG240; becauseG3754 theseG3778 twoG1417 prophetsG4396 tormentedG928 them that dweltG2730 onG1909 the earthG1093.
