WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205, and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027.
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}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, against this familyH4940 do I deviseH2803 an evilH7451, from which ye shall not removeH4185 your necksH6677; neither shall ye goH3212 haughtilyH7317: for this timeH6256 is evilH7451.
In that dayH3117 shall one take upH5375 a parableH4912 against you, and lamentH5091 with a dolefulH5093 lamentationH5092, and sayH559, We be utterlyH7703 spoiledH7703: he hath changedH4171 the portionH2506 of my peopleH5971: how hath he removedH4185 it from me! turning awayH7725 he hath dividedH2505 our fieldsH7704. {a doleful…: Heb. a lamentation of lamentations} {turning…: or, instead of restoring}
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall castH7993 a cordH2256 by lotH1486 in the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068.
ProphesyH5197 ye not, say they to them that prophesyH5197: they shall not prophesyH5197 to them, that they shall not takeH5253 shameH3639. {Prophesy ye…: or, Prophesy not as they prophesy: Heb. Drop, etc}
O thou that art namedH559 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, is the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 straitenedH7114? are these his doingsH4611? do not my wordsH1697 do goodH3190 to him that walkethH1980 uprightlyH3477? {straitened: or, shortened?} {uprightly: Heb. upright?}
Even of lateH865 my peopleH5971 is risen upH6965 as an enemyH341: ye pull offH6584 the robeH145 withH4136 the garmentH8008 from them that passH5674 by securelyH983 as men averseH7725 from warH4421. {of late: Heb. yesterday} {with the: Heb. over against a}
The womenH802 of my peopleH5971 have ye cast outH1644 from their pleasantH8588 housesH1004; from their childrenH5768 have ye taken awayH3947 my gloryH1926 for everH5769. {women: or, wives}
AriseH6965 ye, and departH3212; for this is not your restH4496: because it is pollutedH2930, it shall destroyH2254 you, even with a soreH4834 destructionH2256.
IfH3863 a manH376 walkingH1980 in the spiritH7307 and falsehoodH8267 do lieH3576, saying, I will prophesyH5197 unto thee of wineH3196 and of strong drinkH7941; he shall even be the prophetH5197 of this peopleH5971. {walking…: or, walk with the wind, and lie falsely}
I will surelyH622 assembleH622, O JacobH3290, all of thee; I will surelyH6908 gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478; I will putH7760 them togetherH3162 as the sheepH6629 of BozrahH1223+H1224, as the flockH5739 in the midstH8432 of their foldH1699: they shall make great noiseH1949 by reason of the multitude of menH120.
The breakerH6555 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 them: they have broken upH6555, and have passed throughH5674 the gateH8179, and are gone outH3318 by it: and their kingH4428 shall passH5674 beforeH6440 them, and the LORDH3068 on the headH7218 of them.

And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, thence will I commandH6680 the serpentH5175, and he shall biteH5391 them:
And though they goH3212 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, thence will I commandH6680 the swordH2719, and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.

Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH582, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.
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:

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}
HearH8085 ye, and give earH238; be not proudH1361: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696.
GiveH5414 gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430, before he cause darknessH2821, and before your feetH7272 stumbleH5062 upon the darkH5399 mountainsH2022, and, while ye lookH6960 for lightH216, he turnH7760 it into the shadow of deathH6757, and makeH7896+H7896 it gross darknessH6205.
But if ye will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secret placesH4565 forH6440 your prideH1466; and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 soreH1830, and run downH3381 with tearsH1832, because the LORD'SH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captiveH7617.

Then spakeH559 AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of HoshaiahH1955, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the proudH2086 menH582, sayingH559 unto JeremiahH3414, Thou speakestH1696 falselyH8267: the LORDH3068 our GodH430 hath not sentH7971 thee to sayH559, GoH935 not into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there:
NowH3705 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 praiseH7624 and extolH7313 and honourH1922 the KingH4430 of heavenH8065, allH3606 whose worksH4567 are truthH7187, and his waysH735 judgmentH1780: and those that walkH1981 in prideH1467 he is ableH3202 to abaseH8214.

And he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 the sonsH1123 of menH606; and his heartH3825 was madeH7739 likeH5974 the beastsH2423, and his dwellingH4070 was with the wild assesH6167: they fedH2939 him with grassH6211 like oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065; tillH5705 he knewH3046 that the most highH5943 GodH426 ruledH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and that he appointethH6966 overH5922 it whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634. {his heart…: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thouH607 his sonH1247, O BelshazzarH1113, hast notH3809 humbledH8214 thine heartH3825, thoughH6903 thou knewestH3046 allH3606 thisH1836;
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
