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.

That sayH559, Let him make speedH4116, and hastenH2363 his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it: and let the counselH6098 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 draw nighH7126 and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it!
And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098 against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027 unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 in the heavensH6183 thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213 at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752+H7885 shall pass throughH5674+H5674, it shall not comeH935 unto us: for we have madeH7760 liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760 to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding placeH5643.
And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulledH3722, and your agreementH2380 with hellH7585 shall not standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall pass throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it. {trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it}
From the timeH1767 that it goeth forthH5674 it shall takeH3947 you: for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it pass overH5674, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be a vexationH2113 only to understandH995 the reportH8052. {to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
For the bedH4702 is shorterH7114 than that a man can stretchH8311 himself on it: and the coveringH4541 narrowerH6887 than that he can wrapH3664 himself in it.
For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264 as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639; and bring to passH5647 his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887, lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388: for I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782 upon the whole earthH776.
Through the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the landH776 darkenedH6272, and the peopleH5971 shall be as the fuelH3980 of the fireH784: no manH376 shall spareH2550 his brotherH251. {fuel: Heb. meat}
There is a cryingH6682 for wineH3196 in the streetsH2351; all joyH8057 is darkenedH6150, the mirthH4885 of the landH776 is goneH1540.
SonH1121 of manH120, what is that proverbH4912 that ye have in the landH127 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The daysH3117 are prolongedH748, and every visionH2377 failethH6?
In the cityH5892 is leftH7604 desolationH8047, and the gateH8179 is smittenH3807 with destructionH7591.
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, they of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 sayH559, The visionH2377 that he seethH2372 is for manyH7227 daysH3117 to come, and he prophesiethH5012 of the timesH6256 that are farH7350 off.
AlasH1945! for that dayH3117 is greatH1419, so thatH369 none is like it: it is even the timeH6256 of Jacob'sH3290 troubleH6869; but he shall be savedH3467 out of it.
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138, and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, for it is nigh at handH7138; {trumpet: or, cornet}
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. {of many…: Heb. of generation and generation}
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015 into darknessH2822, and the moonH3394 into bloodH1818, beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and the terribleH3372 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comeH935.
The greatH1419 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138, it is nearH7138, and hastethH4118 greatlyH3966, even the voiceH6963 of the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068: the mighty manH1368 shall cryH6873 there bitterlyH4751.
That dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of wrathH5678, a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and distressH4691, a dayH3117 of wastenessH7722 and desolationH4875, a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thick darknessH6205,
For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
