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.

And it shall come to pass, when manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 are befallenH4672 them, that this songH7892 shall testifyH6030 againstH6440 them as a witnessH5707; for it shall not be forgottenH7911 out of the mouthsH6310 of their seedH2233: for I knowH3045 their imaginationH3336 which they go aboutH6213, even nowH3117, before I have broughtH935 them into the landH776 which I swareH7650. {against: Heb. before} {go…: Heb. do}
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
And his sonsH1121 walkedH1980 not in his waysH1870, but turned asideH5186 afterH310 lucreH1215, and tookH3947 bribesH7810, and pervertedH5186 judgmentH4941.
That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in unto the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: {maid: or, young woman}
They hateH8130 him that rebukethH3198 in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581 him that speakethH1696 uprightlyH8549.
For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: it shall comeH935, that I will gatherH6908 all nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and seeH7200 my gloryH3519.
But these twoH8147 things shall comeH935 to thee in a momentH7281 in oneH259 dayH3117, the loss of childrenH7908, and widowhoodH489: they shall comeH935 upon thee in their perfectionH8537 for the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, and for the greatH3966 abundanceH6109 of thine enchantmentsH2267.
That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in unto the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: {maid: or, young woman}
GatherH622 not my soulH5315 with sinnersH2400, nor my lifeH2416 with bloodyH1818 menH582: {Gather…: or, Take not away} {bloody…: Heb. men of blood}
To turn asideH5186 the needyH1800 from judgmentH1779, and to take awayH1497 the rightH4941 from the poorH6041 of my peopleH5971, that widowsH490 may be their preyH7998, and that they may robH962 the fatherlessH3490!
JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, throughout thy tribesH7626: and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with justH6664 judgmentH4941.
Because they have committedH6213 villanyH5039 in IsraelH3478, and have committedH6213 adulteryH5003 with their neighbours'H7453 wivesH802, and have spokenH1696 lyingH8267 wordsH1697 in my nameH8034, which I have not commandedH6680 them; even I knowH3045, and am a witnessH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And he that is courageousH533+H3820 among the mightyH1368 shall flee awayH5127 nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {courageous: Heb. strong of his heart}
In whose handsH3027 is mischiefH2154, and their right handH3225 is fullH4390 of bribesH7810. {full…: Heb. filled with}
That make a manH120 an offenderH2398 for a wordH1697, and lay a snareH6983 for him that reprovethH3198 in the gateH8179, and turn asideH5186 the justH6662 for a thing of noughtH8414.
Then wentH5927 BoazH1162 upH5927 to the gateH8179, and sat him downH3427 there: and, behold, the kinsmanH1350 of whom BoazH1162 spakeH1696 cameH5674 by; unto whom he saidH559, HoH1945, suchH6423 a oneH492! turn asideH5493, sit downH3427 here. And he turned asideH5493, and sat downH3427.
ForG1063 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 is quickG2198, andG2532 powerfulG1756, andG2532 sharperG5114 thanG5228 anyG3956 twoedgedG1366 swordG3162, piercingG1338 even toG891 the dividing asunderG3311 of soulG5590 andG5037+G2532 spiritG4151, andG5037+G2532 of the jointsG719 andG2532 marrowG3452, andG2532 is a discernerG2924 of the thoughtsG1761 andG2532 intentsG1771 of the heartG2588.
The GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 of IsaacG2464, andG2532 of JacobG2384, the GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, hath glorifiedG1392 hisG846 SonG3816 JesusG2424; whomG3739 yeG5210 delivered upG3860, andG2532 deniedG720 himG846 inG2596 the presenceG4383 of PilateG4091, when he was determinedG2919 to letG630 himG1565 goG630.
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
When I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 through the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339!
The young menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH3453 aroseH6965, and stood upH5975.
The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310.
The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peaceH6963, and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692 to the roof of their mouthH2441. {The nobles…: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:
Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.
I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.
I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.
I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
And I brakeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wickedH5767, and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teethH8127. {the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
Then I saidH559, I shall dieH1478 in my nestH7064, and I shall multiplyH7235 my daysH3117 as the sandH2344.
My rootH8328 was spread outH6605 by the watersH4325, and the dewH2919 lay all nightH3885 upon my branchH7105. {spread…: Heb. opened}
My gloryH3519 was freshH2319 in meH5978, and my bowH7198 was renewedH2498 in my handH3027. {fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}
Unto me men gave earH8085, and waitedH3176, and kept silenceH1826 atH3926 my counselH6098.
AfterH310 my wordsH1697 they spake not againH8138; and my speechH4405 droppedH5197 upon them.
And they waitedH3176 for me as for the rainH4306; and they openedH6473 their mouthH6310 wide as for the latter rainH4456.
If I laughedH7832 on them, they believedH539 it not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they cast not downH5307.
I choseH977 out their wayH1870, and satH3427 chiefH7218, and dweltH7931 as a kingH4428 in the armyH1416, as one that comfortethH5162 the mournersH57.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 any creatureG2937 that is not manifestG852 in hisG846 sightG1799: butG1161 all thingsG3956 are nakedG1131 andG2532 openedG5136 unto the eyesG3788 of himG846 withG4314 whomG3739 we haveG2254 to doG3056.
ButG1161 yeG5210 deniedG720 the Holy OneG40 andG2532 the JustG1342, andG2532 desiredG154 a murdererG5406+G435 to be grantedG5483 unto youG5213;
He that walkethH1980 righteouslyH6666, and speakethH1696 uprightlyH4339; he that despisethH3988 the gainH1215 of oppressionsH4642, that shakethH5287 his handsH3709 from holdingH8551 of bribesH7810, that stoppethH331 his earsH241 from hearingH8085 of bloodH1818, and shuttethH6105 his eyesH5869 from seeingH7200 evilH7451; {righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {oppress: or, defraud}
If I have lifted upH5130 my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490, when I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
RobH1497 not the poorH1800, because he is poorH1800: neither oppressH1792 the afflictedH6041 in the gateH8179:
BeholdG2400, the hireG3408 of the labourersG2040 whoG3588 have reaped downG270 yourG5216 fieldsG5561, whichG3588 is ofG575 youG5216 kept back by fraudG650, criethG2896: andG2532 the criesG995 of them which have reapedG2325 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 the earsG3775 of the LordG2962 of sabaothG4519.
