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 they shall no more offerH2076 their sacrificesH2077 unto devilsH8163, afterH310 whom they have gone a whoringH2181. This shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto them throughout their generationsH1755.
They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
Of the RockH6697 that begatH3205 thee thou art unmindfulH7876, and hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that formedH2342 thee.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, he abhorredH5006 them, because of the provokingH3708 of his sonsH1121, and of his daughtersH1323. {abhorred: or, despised}
Now therefore fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in sincerityH8549 and in truthH571: and put awayH5493 the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and in EgyptH4714; and serveH5647 ye the LORDH3068.
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Thou hast not broughtH935 me the small cattleH7716 of thy burnt offeringsH5930; neither hast thou honouredH3513 me with thy sacrificesH2077. I have not caused thee to serveH5647 with an offeringH4503, nor weariedH3021 thee with incenseH3828. {small…: Heb. lambs, or, kids}
Thou hast boughtH7069 me no sweet caneH7070 with moneyH3701, neither hast thou filledH7301 me with the fatH2459 of thy sacrificesH2077: but thou hast made me to serveH5647 with thy sinsH2403, thou hast weariedH3021 me with thine iniquitiesH5771. {filled…: Heb. made me drunk, or, abundantly moistened}
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.
Because they had not executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but had despisedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathers'H1 idolsH1544.
They have deeplyH6009 corruptedH7843 themselves, as in the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: therefore he will rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, he will visitH6485 their sinsH2403.
I foundH4672 IsraelH3478 like grapesH6025 in the wildernessH4057; I sawH7200 your fathersH1 as the firstripeH1063 in the fig treeH8384 at her first timeH7225: but they wentH935 to BaalpeorH1187, and separatedH5144 themselves unto that shameH1322; and their abominationsH8251 were according as they lovedH157.
SpeakH559 unto all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventhH7637 month, even those seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH6684 fastH6684 unto me, even to me?
ThenG1161 GodG2316 turnedG4762, andG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 to worshipG3000 the hostG4756 of heavenG3772; as itG2531 is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396, O ye houseG3624 of IsraelG2474, have ye offeredG3361+G4374 to meG3427 slain beastsG4968 andG2532 sacrificesG2378 by the space of fortyG5062 yearsG2094 inG1722 the wildernessG2048?
