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.

HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Is the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 waxed shortH7114? thou shalt seeH7200 now whether my wordH1697 shall come to passH7136 unto thee or not.
The lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 is perfectH8549, convertingH7725 the soulH5315: the testimonyH5715 of the LORDH3068 is sureH539, making wiseH2449 the simpleH6612. {law: or, doctrine} {converting: or, restoring}
The statutesH6490 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, rejoicingH8055 the heartH3820: the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 is pureH1249, enlighteningH215 the eyesH5869.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is cleanH2889, enduringH5975 for everH5703: the judgmentsH4941 of the LORDH3068 are trueH571 and righteousH6663 altogetherH3162. {true: Heb. truth}
More to be desiredH2530 are they than goldH2091, yea, than muchH7227 fine goldH6337: sweeterH4966 also than honeyH1706 and the honeycombH5317+H6688. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}
Moreover by them is thy servantH5650 warnedH2094: and in keepingH8104 of them there is greatH7227 rewardH6118.
He that walkethH1980 uprightlyH8549, and workethH6466 righteousnessH6664, and speakethH1696 the truthH571 in his heartH3824.
HearH8085 ye this, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, which are calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478, and are come forthH3318 out of the watersH4325 of JudahH3063, which swearH7650 by the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and make mentionH2142 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, but not in truthH571, nor in righteousnessH6666.
Wherefore, when I cameH935, was there no manH376? when I calledH7121, was there none to answerH6030? Is my handH3027 shortenedH7114 at allH7114, that it cannot redeemH6304? or have I no powerH3581 to deliverH5337? behold, at my rebukeH1606 I dry upH2717 the seaH3220, I makeH7760 the riversH5104 a wildernessH4057: their fishH1710 stinkethH887, because there is no waterH4325, and diethH4191 for thirstH6772.
For the LORDH3068 GodH430 is a sunH8121 and shieldH4043: the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 graceH2580 and gloryH3519: no goodH2896 thing will he withholdH4513 from them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8549.
For they callH7121 themselves of the holyH6944 cityH5892, and stayH5564 themselves upon the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
BeholdH2005, the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 is not shortenedH7114, that it cannot saveH3467; neither his earH241 heavyH3513, that it cannot hearH8085:
He layeth upH6845+H6845 sound wisdomH8454 for the righteousH3477: he is a bucklerH4043 to them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8537.
CryH7121 aloudH1627, spareH2820 not, liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 like a trumpetH7782, and shewH5046 my peopleH5971 their transgressionH6588, and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 their sinsH2403. {aloud: Heb. with the throat}
But your iniquitiesH5771 have separatedH914 betweenH996 you and your GodH430, and your sinsH2403 have hidH5641 his faceH6440 from you, that he will not hearH8085. {have hid: or, have made him hide}
UnlessH3884 thy lawH8451 had been my delightsH8191, I should then have perishedH6 in mine afflictionH6040.
He that walkethH3212 uprightlyH8537 walkethH1980 surelyH983: but he that pervertethH6140 his waysH1870 shall be knownH3045.
HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478:
Then he answeredH6030 and spakeH559 unto me, sayingH559, This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZerubbabelH2216, sayingH559, Not by mightH2428, nor by powerH3581, but by my spiritH7307, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {might: or, army}
The wayH1870 of the LORDH3068 is strengthH4581 to the uprightH8537: but destructionH4288 shall be to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205.
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
Ye areG4729 notG3756 straitenedG4729 inG1722 usG2254, butG1161 ye are straitenedG4729 inG1722 your ownG5216 bowelsG4698.
I have more understandingH7919 than all my teachersH3925: for thy testimoniesH5715 are my meditationH7881.
I understandH995 more than the ancientsH2205, because I keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490.
I have refrainedH3607 my feetH7272 from every evilH7451 wayH734, that I might keepH8104 thy wordH1697.
I have not departedH5493 from thy judgmentsH4941: for thou hast taughtH3384 me.
How sweetH4452 are thy wordsH565 unto my tasteH2441! yea, sweeter than honeyH1706 to my mouthH6310! {taste: Heb. palate}
He that walkethH1980 in his uprightnessH3476 fearethH3373 the LORDH3068: but he that is perverseH3868 in his waysH1870 despisethH959 him.
They answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, AbrahamG11 isG2076 ourG2257 fatherG3962. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, IfG1487 ye wereG2258 Abraham'sG11 childrenG5043, ye would doG4160+G302 the worksG2041 of AbrahamG11.
Thy wordsH1697 were foundH4672, and I did eatH398 them; and thy wordH1697 was unto me the joyH8342 and rejoicingH8057 of mine heartH3824: for I am calledH7121 by thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635. {I am…: Heb. thy name is called upon me}
Whoso walkethH1980 uprightlyH8549 shall be savedH3467: but he that is perverseH6140 in his waysH1870 shall fallH5307 at onceH259.
ForG1063 he isG2076 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is one outwardlyG1722+G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG4061, which is outwardG1722+G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561:
Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361+G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596+G5236 sinfulG268.
Who is wiseH2450, and he shall understandH995 these things? prudentH995, and he shall knowH3045 them? for the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, and the justH6662 shall walkH3212 in them: but the transgressorsH6586 shall fallH3782 therein.
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064, andG2532 SarahG4564 shall haveG2071 a sonG5207.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520+G2192, even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
