And now, O ye priestsH3548, this commandmentH4687 is for you.
If ye will not hearH8085, and if ye will not layH7760 it to heartH3820, to giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto my nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I will even sendH7971 a curseH3994 upon you, and I will curseH779 your blessingsH1293: yea, I have cursedH779 them already, because ye do not layH7760 it to heartH3820.
Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one…: or, it shall take you away to it}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I have sentH7971 this commandmentH4687 unto you, that my covenantH1285 might be with LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
My covenantH1285 was with him of lifeH2416 and peaceH7965; and I gaveH5414 them to him for the fearH4172 wherewith he fearedH3372 me, and was afraidH2865 beforeH6440 my nameH8034.
The lawH8451 of truthH571 was in his mouthH6310, and iniquityH5766 was not foundH4672 in his lipsH8193: he walkedH1980 with me in peaceH7965 and equityH4334, and did turnH7725 manyH7227 awayH7725 from iniquityH5771.
For the priest'sH3548 lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and they should seekH1245 the lawH8451 at his mouthH6310: for he is the messengerH4397 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {stumble at: or, fall in}
Therefore have I also madeH5414 you contemptibleH959 and baseH8217 before all the peopleH5971, accordingH6310 as ye have not keptH8104 my waysH1870, but have been partialH5375+H6440 in the lawH8451. {have been…: or, lifted up the face against: Heb. accepted faces}
Have we not all oneH259 fatherH1? hath not oneH259 GodH410 createdH1254 us? why do we deal treacherouslyH898 every manH376 against his brotherH251, by profaningH2490 the covenantH1285 of our fathersH1?
JudahH3063 hath dealt treacherouslyH898, and an abominationH8441 is committedH6213 in IsraelH3478 and in JerusalemH3389; for JudahH3063 hath profanedH2490 the holinessH6944 of the LORDH3068 which he lovedH157, and hath marriedH1166 the daughterH1323 of a strangeH5236 godH410. {loved: or, ought to love}
The LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 the manH376 that doethH6213 this, the masterH5782 and the scholarH6030, out of the tabernaclesH168 of JacobH3290, and him that offerethH5066 an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {the master…: or, him that waketh, and him that answereth}
And this have ye doneH6213 againH8145, coveringH3680 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 with tearsH1832, with weepingH1065, and with crying outH603, insomuch that he regardethH6437 not the offeringH4503 any more, or receivethH3947 it with good willH7522 at your handH3027.
Yet ye sayH559, WhereforeH4100? Because the LORDH3068 hath been witnessH5749 between thee and the wifeH802 of thy youthH5271, against whom thou hast dealt treacherouslyH898: yet is she thy companionH2278, and the wifeH802 of thy covenantH1285.
And did not he makeH6213 oneH259? Yet had he the residueH7605 of the spiritH7307. And wherefore oneH259? That he might seekH1245 a godlyH430 seedH2233. Therefore take heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, and let none deal treacherouslyH898 against the wifeH802 of his youthH5271. {residue: or, excellency} {godly…: Heb. seed of God} {treacherously: or, unfaithfully}
For the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559 that he hatethH8130 putting awayH7971: for one coverethH3680 violenceH2555 with his garmentH3830, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: therefore take heedH8104 to your spiritH7307, that ye deal not treacherouslyH898. {that he…: or, if he hate her, put her away} {putting…: Heb. to put away}
Ye have weariedH3021 the LORDH3068 with your wordsH1697. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein have we weariedH3021 him? When ye sayH559, Every one that doethH6213 evilH7451 is goodH2896 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and he delightethH2654 in them; or, Where is the GodH430 of judgmentH4941?

Behold, I will corruptH1605 your seedH2233, and spreadH2219 dungH6569 upon your facesH6440, even the dungH6569 of your solemn feastsH2282; and one shall take you awayH5375 with it. {corrupt: or, reprove} {spread: Heb. scatter} {one…: or, it shall take you away to it}
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou returnH7725 at allH7725 in peaceH7965, the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, O peopleH5971, every one of you.
But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {stumble at: or, fall in}
Ye shall not respectH5234 personsH6440 in judgmentH4941; but ye shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 as well as the greatH1419; ye shall not be afraidH1481 of the faceH6440 of manH376; for the judgmentH4941 is God'sH430: and the causeH1697 that is too hardH7185 for you, bringH7126 it unto me, and I will hearH8085 it. {respect…: Heb. acknowledge faces}
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Then saidH559 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 unto HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030, HearH8085 now, HananiahH2608; The LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 thee; but thou makest this peopleH5971 to trustH982 in a lieH8267.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG4483 by them of old timeG744, Thou shaltG5407 notG3756 killG5407; andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall killG5407 shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the judgmentG2920: {by: or, to}
ButG1161 ofG575 these who seemedG1380 to beG1511 somewhatG5100, (whatsoeverG3697+G4218 they wereG2258, it makethG1308 noG3762 matterG1308 to meG3427: GodG2316 acceptethG2983 noG3756 man'sG444 personG4383:) forG1063 they who seemedG1380 to be somewhat in conference addedG4323 nothingG3762 to meG1698:
The memoryH2143 of the justH6662 is blessedH1293: but the nameH8034 of the wickedH7563 shall rotH7537.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will castH7971 thee from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127: this yearH8141 thou shalt dieH4191, because thou hast taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 whosoeverG3956 is angryG3710 with hisG846 brotherG80 without a causeG1500 shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the judgmentG2920: andG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036 to hisG846 brotherG80, RacaG4469, shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 of the councilG4892: butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall sayG2036, Thou foolG3474, shall beG2071 in dangerG1777 ofG1519 hellG1067 fireG4442. {Raca: that is, Vain fellow}
And manyH7227 of them that sleepH3463 in the dustH6083 of the earthH127 shall awakeH6974, some to everlastingH5769 lifeH2416, and some to shameH2781 and everlastingH5769 contemptH1860.
HearH8085 ye therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all ye of the captivityH1473, whom I have sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, of AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, which prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034; Behold, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869;
And of them shall be taken upH3947 a curseH7045 by all the captivityH1546 of JudahH3063 which are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 makeH7760 thee like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 roastedH7033 in the fireH784;
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it was saidG4483 by them of old timeG744, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431:
And they that be wiseH7919 shall shineH2094 as the brightnessH2096 of the firmamentH7549; and they that turn manyH7227 to righteousnessH6663 as the starsH3556 for everH5769 and everH5703. {wise: or, teachers}
SendH7971 to all them of the captivityH1473, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161; Because that ShemaiahH8098 hath prophesiedH5012 unto you, and I sentH7971 him not, and he caused you to trustH982 in a lieH8267:
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 whosoeverG3956 lookethG991 on a womanG1135 toG4314 lust afterG1937 herG846 hath committed adulteryG3431 with herG846 alreadyG2235 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588.
Therefore nightH3915 shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a visionH2377; and it shall be darkH2821+H2821 unto you, that ye shall not divineH7080; and the sunH8121 shall go downH935 over the prophetsH5030, and the dayH3117 shall be darkH6937 over them. {that…: vision: Heb. from a vision} {that…: divine: Heb. from divining}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, and his seedH2233: he shall not have a manH376 to dwellH3427 amongH8432 this peopleH5971; neither shall he beholdH7200 the goodH2896 that I will doH6213 for my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because he hath taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
AgainG3825, ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it hath been saidG4483 by them of old timeG744, Thou shaltG1964 notG3756 forswear thyselfG1964, butG1161 shalt performG591 unto the LordG2962 thineG4675 oathsG3727:
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, SwearG3660 notG3361 at allG3654; neitherG3383 byG1722 heavenG3772; forG3754 it isG2076 God'sG2316 throneG2362:
NorG3383 byG1722 the earthG1093; forG3754 it isG2076 hisG846 footstoolG4228+G5286: neitherG3383 byG1519 JerusalemG2414; forG3754 it isG2076 the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935.
NeitherG3383 shalt thou swearG3660 byG1722 thyG4675 headG2776, becauseG3754 thou canstG1410 notG3756 makeG4160 oneG3391 hairG2359 whiteG3022 orG2228 blackG3189.
ButG1161 letG2077 yourG5216 communicationG3056 beG2077, YeaG3483, yeaG3483; NayG3756, nayG3756: forG1161 whatsoever is moreG4053 than theseG5130 comethG2076 ofG1537 evilG4190.
Then shall the seersH2374 be ashamedH954, and the divinersH7080 confoundedH2659: yea, they shall all coverH5844 their lipsH8222; for there is no answerH4617 of GodH430. {lips: Heb. upper lip}
Lo, when the wallH7023 is fallenH5307, shall it not be saidH559 unto you, Where is the daubingH2915 wherewith ye have daubedH2902 it?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even rendH1234 it with a stormyH5591 windH7307 in my furyH2534; and there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653 in mine angerH639, and great hailstonesH417+H68 in my furyH2534 to consumeH3617 it.
So will I break downH2040 the wallH7023 that ye have daubedH2902 with untemperedH8602 morter, and bringH5060 it down to the groundH776, so that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discoveredH1540, and it shall fallH5307, and ye shall be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 thereof: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus will I accomplishH3615 my wrathH2534 upon the wallH7023, and upon them that have daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, and will sayH559 unto you, The wallH7023 is no more, neither they that daubedH2902 it;
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it hath been saidG4483, Thou shalt loveG25 thyG4675 neighbourG4139, andG2532 hateG3404 thineG4675 enemyG2190.
Your kerchiefsH4555 also will I tearH7167, and deliverH5337 my peopleH5971 out of your handH3027, and they shall be no more in your handH3027 to be huntedH4686; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
ButG1161 IG1473 sayG3004 unto youG5213, LoveG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, blessG2127 them that curseG2672 youG5209, doG4160 goodG2573 to them that hateG3404 youG5209, andG2532 prayG4336 forG5228 them whichG3588 despitefully useG1908 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 youG5209;
MakingG208 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 through yourG5216 traditionG3862, whichG3739 ye have deliveredG3860: andG2532 manyG4183 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 do yeG4160.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG5101 callest thouG3004 meG3165 goodG18? there is noneG3762 goodG18 butG1508 oneG1520, that is, GodG2316: butG1161 ifG1487 thou wiltG2309 enterG1525 intoG1519 lifeG2222, keepG5083 the commandmentsG1785.
AndG2532 when he had calledG4341 allG3956 the peopleG3793 unto him, he saidG3004 unto themG846, HearkenG191 unto meG3450 every oneG3956 of you, andG2532 understandG4920:
He saithG3004 unto himG846, WhichG4169+G1161? JesusG2424 saidG2036, Thou shalt doG5407 noG3756 murderG5407, Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431, Thou shaltG2813 notG3756 stealG2813, Thou shaltG5576 notG3756 bear false witnessG5576,
ThenG1161 in the audienceG191 of allG3956 the peopleG2992 he saidG2036 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101,
BewareG4337 ofG575 the scribesG1122, whichG3588 desireG2309 to walkG4043 inG1722 long robesG4749, andG2532 loveG5368 greetingsG783 inG1722 the marketsG58, andG2532 the highest seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 the chief roomsG4411 atG1722 feastsG1173;
WhichG3739 devourG2719 widows'G5503 housesG3614, andG2532 for a shewG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayersG4336: the sameG3778 shall receiveG2983 greaterG4055 damnationG2917.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, whichG3588 sayG3004, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the goldG5557 of the templeG3485, he is a debtorG3784!
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 isG2076 greaterG3187, the goldG5557, orG2228 the templeG3485 that sanctifiethG37 the goldG5557?
AndG2532, WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 swearethG3660 byG1722 the giftG1435 that is uponG1883 itG846, he is guiltyG3784. {guilty: or, debtor, or, bound}
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, the giftG1435, orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiethG37 the giftG1435?
Whoso thereforeG3767 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 all thingsG3956 thereonG1883+G846.
AndG2532 whoso shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 him that dwellethG2730 thereinG846.
AndG2532 he that shall swearG3660 byG1722 heavenG3772, swearethG3660 byG1722 the throneG2362 of GodG2316, andG2532 byG1722 him that sittethG2521 thereonG1883+G846.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye pay titheG586 of mintG2238 andG2532 aniseG432 andG2532 cumminG2951, andG2532 have omittedG863 the weightierG926 matters of the lawG3551, judgmentG2920+G2532, mercyG1656, andG2532 faithG4102: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863. {anise: Gr. dill}
Ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, which strain atG1368 a gnatG2971, andG1161 swallowG2666 a camelG2574.
ForG1063 laying asideG863 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, ye holdG2902 the traditionG3862 of menG444, as the washingG909 of potsG3582 andG2532 cupsG4221: andG2532 manyG4183 otherG243 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 ye doG4160.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Full wellG2573 ye rejectG114 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, thatG2443 ye may keepG5083 your ownG5216 traditionG3862. {reject: or, frustrate}
ForG1063 MosesG3475 saidG2036, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384; andG2532, Whoso cursethG2551 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, let him dieG5053 the deathG2288:
ButG1161 yeG5210 sayG3004, IfG1437 a manG444 shall sayG2036 to his fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, It is CorbanG2878, that is to sayG3603, a giftG1435, byG1537 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou mightest be profited byG5623 meG1700; he shall be free.
AndG2532 ye sufferG863 himG846 no moreG3765 to doG4160 oughtG3762 for hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384;
MakingG208 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 of none effectG208 through yourG5216 traditionG3862, whichG3739 ye have deliveredG3860: andG2532 manyG4183 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 do yeG4160.
ButG1161 he, willingG2309 to justifyG1344 himselfG1438, saidG2036 untoG4314 JesusG2424, AndG2532 whoG5101 isG2076 myG3450 neighbourG4139?
ButG235 woeG3759 unto youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye titheG586 mintG2238 andG2532 rueG4076 andG2532 all mannerG3956 of herbsG3001, andG2532 pass overG3928 judgmentG2920 andG2532 the loveG26 of GodG2316: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}
ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498.
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147+G3778 to be untoG1519 deathG2288.
