In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
Upon the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 SebatH7627, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
I sawH7200 by nightH3915, and behold a manH376 ridingH7392 upon a redH122 horseH5483, and he stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918 that were in the bottomH4699; and behindH310 him were there redH122 horsesH5483, speckledH8320, and whiteH3836. {speckled: or, bay}
Then saidH559 I, O my lordH113, what are these? And the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, I will shewH7200 thee what these be.
And the manH376 that stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918 answeredH6030 and saidH559, These are they whom the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 to walkH1980 to and fro through the earthH776.
And they answeredH6030 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 that stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918, and saidH559, We have walked to and froH1980 through the earthH776, and, behold, all the earthH776 sitteth stillH3427, and is at restH8252.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 and saidH559, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, how long wilt thou not have mercyH7355 on JerusalemH3389 and on the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, against which thou hast had indignationH2194 these threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141?
And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me with goodH2896 wordsH1697 and comfortableH5150 wordsH1697.
So the angelH4397 that communedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, CryH7121 thou, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I am jealousH7065 for JerusalemH3389 and for ZionH6726 with a greatH1419 jealousyH7068.
And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107, and they helpedH5826 forward the afflictionH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with merciesH7356: my houseH1004 shall be builtH1129 in it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and a lineH6957+H6961 shall be stretched forthH5186 upon JerusalemH3389.
CryH7121 yet, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; My citiesH5892 through prosperityH2896 shall yet be spread abroadH6327; and the LORDH3068 shall yet comfortH5162 ZionH6726, and shall yet chooseH977 JerusalemH3389. {prosperity: Heb. good}
Then lifted I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and behold fourH702 hornsH7161.
And I saidH559 unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, What be these? And he answeredH559 me, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, IsraelH3478, and JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 shewedH7200 me fourH702 carpentersH2796.
Then saidH559 I, What comeH935 these to doH6213? And he spakeH559, sayingH559, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, so thatH6310 no manH376 did lift upH5375 his headH7218: but these are comeH935 to frayH2729 them, to cast outH3034 the hornsH7161 of the GentilesH1471, which lifted upH5375 their hornH7161 over the landH776 of JudahH3063 to scatterH2219 it.

For our fathersH1 have trespassedH4603, and doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsakenH5800 him, and have turned awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitationH4908 of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5414 their backsH6203. {turned their…: Heb. given the neck}
Also they have shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put outH3518 the lampsH5216, and have not burnedH6999 incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the holyH6944 place unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189+H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. {trouble: Heb. commotion}
For, lo, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.
Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.
But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH8068, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 in his spiritH7307 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore came a greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he criedH7121, and they would not hearH8085; so they criedH7121, and I would not hearH8085, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, ProclaimH7121 all these wordsH1697 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them.
For I earnestlyH5749 protestedH5749 unto your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, rising earlyH7925 and protestingH5749, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963.
Yet they obeyedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 every oneH376 in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820: therefore I will bringH935 upon them all the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, which I commandedH6680 them to doH6213; but they didH6213 them not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And be not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethrenH251, which trespassedH4603 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, who therefore gave them upH5414 to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200.
Yet he sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them, to bring them againH7725 unto the LORDH3068; and they testifiedH5749 against them: but they would not give earH238.
And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH3847 upon ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, which stoodH5975 above the peopleH5971, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 GodH430, Why transgressH5674 ye the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, that ye cannot prosperH6743? because ye have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, he hath also forsakenH5800 you. {came…: Heb. clothed}
And they conspiredH7194 against him, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68 at the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 in the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Thus JoashH3101 the kingH4428 rememberedH2142 not the kindnessH2617 which JehoiadaH3077 his fatherH1 had doneH6213 to him, but slewH2026 his sonH1121. And when he diedH4194, he saidH559, The LORDH3068 lookH7200 upon it, and requireH1875 it.
WashH7364 you, make you cleanH2135; put awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to do evilH7489;
LearnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieveH833 the oppressedH2541, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. {relieve: or, righten}
Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
If ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, After this manner will I marH7843 the prideH1347 of JudahH3063, and the greatH7227 prideH1347 of JerusalemH3389.
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
This evilH7451 peopleH5971, which refuseH3987 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, which walkH1980 in the imaginationH8307 of their heartH3820, and walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, shall even be as this girdleH232, which is goodH6743 for nothing. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769.
To hearkenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whom I sentH7971 unto you, both rising up earlyH7925, and sendingH7971 them, but ye have not hearkenedH8085;
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, AmendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and I will cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725.
TrustH982 ye not in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, The templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, are these.
For if ye throughlyH3190 amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611; if ye throughlyH6213 executeH6213 judgmentH4941 between a manH376 and his neighbourH7453;
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
Then will I cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725, in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the penknifeH8593+H5608, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254, until all the rollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254.
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190.
Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor rentH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697.
We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committed iniquityH5753, we have done wickedlyH7561.
That this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lyingH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that willH14 not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068:
Which sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not unto us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 unto us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123:
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
Therefore I will judgeH8199 you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. RepentH7725, and turnH7725 yourselves from all your transgressionsH6588; so iniquityH5771 shall not be your ruinH4383. {yourselves: or, others}
Cast awayH7993 from you all your transgressionsH6588, whereby ye have transgressedH6586; and makeH6213 you a newH2319 heartH3820 and a newH2319 spiritH7307: for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
For I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of him that diethH4191, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: wherefore turnH7725 yourselves, and liveH2421 ye. {yourselves: or, others}
As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee.
Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 not thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 not the multitudeH7230 of thy merciesH2617; but provokedH4784 him at the seaH3220, even at the RedH5488 seaH3220.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein.
SayH559 unto them, As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I have no pleasureH2654 in the deathH4194 of the wickedH7563; but that the wickedH7563 turnH7725 from his wayH1870 and liveH2421: turnH7725 ye, turnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870; for why will ye dieH4191, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
Now, lo, if he begetH3205 a sonH1121, that seethH7200 all his father'sH1 sinsH2403 which he hath doneH6213, and considerethH7200, and doethH6213 not such likeH2004,
That hath not eatenH398 upon the mountainsH2022, neither hath lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 to the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, hath not defiledH2930 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802,
Neither hath oppressedH3238 anyH376, hath not withholdenH2254 the pledgeH2258, neither hath spoiledH1497 by violenceH1500, but hath givenH5414 his breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and hath coveredH3680 the nakedH5903 with a garmentH899, {hath not…: Heb. hath not pledged the pledge, or, taken to pledge}
That hath taken offH7725 his handH3027 from the poorH6041, that hath not receivedH3947 usuryH5392 nor increaseH8636, hath executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, hath walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708; he shall not dieH4191 for the iniquityH5771 of his fatherH1, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
O IsraelH3478, returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; for thou hast fallenH3782 by thine iniquityH5771.
Forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ye wereG3084 notG3756 redeemedG3084 with corruptible thingsG5349, as silverG694 andG2228 goldG5553, fromG1537 yourG5216 vainG3152 conversationG391 received by tradition from your fathersG3970;
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.
SayH559 unto the kingH4428 and to the queenH1377, HumbleH8213 yourselves, sit downH3427: for your principalitiesH4761 shall come downH3381, even the crownH5850 of your gloryH8597. {principalities: or, head tires}
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.
Thus saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me; GoH1980 and standH5975 in the gateH8179 of the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971, whereby the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 come inH935, and by the which they go outH3318, and in all the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;
And sayH559 unto them, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and all JudahH3063, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, that enter inH935 by these gatesH8179:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Take heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315, and bearH5375 no burdenH4853 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, nor bringH935 it in by the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389;
Neither carry forthH3318 a burdenH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, neither doH6213 ye any workH4399, but hallowH6942 ye the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, as I commandedH6680 your fathersH1.
But they obeyedH8085 not, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241, but made their neckH6203 stiffH7185, that they might not hearH8085, nor receiveH3947 instructionH4148.
But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556 as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 streamH5158. {run: Heb. roll}
From the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, even unto this dayH3117, that is the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 hath come unto me, and I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye have not hearkenedH8085.
And the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 unto you all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye have not hearkenedH8085, nor inclinedH5186 your earH241 to hearH8085.
They saidH559, Turn ye againH7725 now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and dwellH3427 in the landH127 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 unto you and to your fathersH1 forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769:
And goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, and provoke me not to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027; and I will do you no hurtH7489.
Yet ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that ye might provoke me to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027 to your own hurtH7451.
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: thereforeG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
I have sentH7971 also unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 ye now every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and amendH3190 your doingsH4611, and goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and ye shall dwell inH3427 the landH127 which I have givenH5414 to you and to your fathersH1: but ye have not inclinedH5186 your earH241, nor hearkenedH8085 unto me.
Repent yeG3340 thereforeG3767, andG2532 be convertedG1994, thatG1519 yourG5216 sinsG266 may be blotted outG1813, whenG3704 the timesG2540 of refreshingG403 shall comeG302+G2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962;
TakeH3947 thee a rollH4039 of a bookH5612, and writeH3789 therein all the wordsH1697 that I have spokenH1696 unto thee against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, and against all the nationsH1471, from the dayH3117 I spakeH1696 unto thee, from the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977, even unto this dayH3117.
ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341.
It may be that the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will hearH8085 all the evilH7451 which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them; that they may returnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; that I may forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403.
Then JeremiahH3414 calledH7121 BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374: and BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he had spokenH1696 unto him, upon a rollH4039 of a bookH5612.
And JeremiahH3414 commandedH6680 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, I am shut upH6113; I cannotH3201 goH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
Therefore goH935 thou, and readH7121 in the rollH4039, which thou hast writtenH3789 from my mouthH6310, the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 upon the fastingH6685 dayH3117: and also thou shalt readH7121 them in the earsH241 of all JudahH3063 that come outH935 of their citiesH5892.
It may be they will presentH5307 their supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and will returnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870: for greatH1419 is the angerH639 and the furyH2534 that the LORDH3068 hath pronouncedH1696 against this peopleH5971. {they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
And BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 didH6213 according to all that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 him, readingH7121 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
And it came to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the ninthH8671 monthH2320, that they proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to all the peopleH5971 in JerusalemH3389, and to all the peopleH5971 that cameH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 unto JerusalemH3389.
Then readH7121 BaruchH1263 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the chamberH3957 of GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, in the higherH5945 courtH2691, at the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971. {entry: or, door}
Howbeit I sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, Oh, doH6213 not this abominableH8441 thingH1697 that I hateH8130.
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241 to turnH7725 from their wickednessH7451, to burn no incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH2389+H4696 and hardheartedH7186+H3820. {impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
Behold, I have madeH5414 thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their facesH6440, and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheadsH4696.
As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414 thy foreheadH4696: fearH3372 them not, neither be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
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}
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
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:
