And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, What is the vineH1612 treeH6086 more than any treeH6086, or than a branchH2156 which is among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293?
Shall woodH6086 be takenH3947 thereof to doH6213 any workH4399? or will men takeH3947 a pinH3489 of it to hangH8518 any vesselH3627 thereon?
Behold, it is castH5414 into the fireH784 for fuelH402; the fireH784 devourethH398 bothH8147 the endsH7098 of it, and the midstH8432 of it is burnedH2787. Is it meetH6743 for any workH4399? {Is it…: Heb. Will it prosper?}
Behold, when it was wholeH8549, it was meetH6213 for no workH4399: how much less shall it be meetH6213 yet for any workH4399, when the fireH784 hath devouredH398 it, and it is burnedH2787? {meet: Heb. made fit}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, What is the vineH1612 treeH6086 more than any treeH6086, or than a branchH2156 which is among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293?
Shall woodH6086 be takenH3947 thereof to doH6213 any workH4399? or will men takeH3947 a pinH3489 of it to hangH8518 any vesselH3627 thereon?
Behold, it is castH5414 into the fireH784 for fuelH402; the fireH784 devourethH398 bothH8147 the endsH7098 of it, and the midstH8432 of it is burnedH2787. Is it meetH6743 for any workH4399? {Is it…: Heb. Will it prosper?}
Behold, when it was wholeH8549, it was meetH6213 for no workH4399: how much less shall it be meetH6213 yet for any workH4399, when the fireH784 hath devouredH398 it, and it is burnedH2787? {meet: Heb. made fit}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As the vineH1612 treeH6086 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293, which I have givenH5414 to the fireH784 for fuelH402, so will I giveH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against them; they shall go outH3318 from one fireH784, and another fireH784 shall devourH398 them; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I setH7760 my faceH6440 against them.
And I will makeH5414 the landH776 desolateH8077, because they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominationsH8441,
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto JerusalemH3389; Thy birthH4351 and thy nativityH4138 is of the landH776 of CanaanH3669; thy fatherH1 was an AmoriteH567, and thy motherH517 an HittiteH2850. {birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation}
And as for thy nativityH4138, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navelH8270 was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to suppleH4935 thee; thou wast not saltedH4414 at allH4414, nor swaddledH2853 at allH2853. {to supple…: or, when I looked upon thee}
None eyeH5869 pitiedH2347 thee, to doH6213 anyH259 of these unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast outH7993 in the openH6440 fieldH7704, to the lothingH1604 of thy personH5315, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.
And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee pollutedH947 in thine own bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421. {polluted: or, trodden under foot}
I have causedH5414 thee to multiplyH7233 as the budH6780 of the fieldH7704, and thou hast increasedH7235 and waxen greatH1431, and thou art comeH935 to excellentH5716 ornamentsH5716: thy breastsH7699 are fashionedH3559, and thine hairH8181 is grownH6779, whereas thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {caused…: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent…: Heb. ornament of ornaments}
Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine.
Then washedH7364 I thee with waterH4325; yea, I throughly washed awayH7857 thy bloodH1818 from thee, and I anointedH5480 thee with oilH8081. {blood: Heb. bloods}
I clothedH3847 thee also with broidered workH7553, and shodH5274 thee with badgers' skinH8476, and I girdedH2280 thee about with fine linenH8336, and I coveredH3680 thee with silkH4897.
I deckedH5710 thee also with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627.
And I putH5414 a jewelH5141 on thy foreheadH639, and earringsH5694 in thine earsH241, and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 upon thine headH7218. {forehead: Heb. nose}
Thus wast thou deckedH5710 with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raimentH4403 was of fine linenH8336+H8336, and silkH4897, and broidered workH7553; thou didst eatH398 fine flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081: and thou wast exceedingH3966 beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 into a kingdomH4410.
And thy renownH8034 went forthH3318 among the heathenH1471 for thy beautyH3308: for it was perfectH3632 through my comelinessH1926, which I had putH7760 upon thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
But thou didst trustH982 in thine own beautyH3308, and playedst the harlotH2181 because of thy renownH8034, and pouredst outH8210 thy fornicationsH8457 on every one that passed byH5674; his it was.
And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and deckedstH6213 thy high placesH1116 with divers coloursH2921, and playedst the harlotH2181 thereupon: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so.
Thou hast also takenH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madestH6213 to thyself imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst commit whoredomH2181 with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
And tookestH3947 thy broideredH7553 garmentsH899, and coveredstH3680 them: and thou hast setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.
My meatH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fine flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou hast even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and thus it was, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a sweet…: Heb. a savour of rest}
Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Is this of thy whoredomsH8457 a small matterH4592, {to be…: Heb. to devour}
That thou hast slainH7819 my childrenH1121, and deliveredH5414 them to cause them to pass throughH5674 the fire for them?
And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredomsH8457 thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181, and wast pollutedH947 in thy bloodH1818.
And it came to pass afterH310 all thy wickednessH7451, (woeH188, woeH188 unto thee! saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069;)
That thou hast also builtH1129 unto thee an eminent placeH1354, and hast madeH6213 thee an high placeH7413 in every streetH7339. {eminent…: or, brothel house}
Thou hast builtH1129 thy high placeH7413 at every headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast made thy beautyH3308 to be abhorredH8581, and hast openedH6589 thy feetH7272 to every one that passed byH5674, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457.
Thou hast also committed fornicationH2181 with the EgyptiansH1121+H4714 thy neighboursH7934, greatH1432 of fleshH1320; and hast increasedH7235 thy whoredomsH8457, to provoke me to angerH3707.
Behold, therefore I have stretched outH5186 my handH3027 over thee, and have diminishedH1639 thine ordinaryH2706 food, and deliveredH5414 thee unto the willH5315 of them that hateH8130 thee, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which are ashamedH3637 of thy lewdH2154 wayH1870. {daughters: or, cities}
Thou hast played the whoreH2181 also with the AssyriansH1121+H804, becauseH1115 thou wast unsatiableH7646; yea, thou hast played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfiedH7654.
Thou hast moreover multipliedH7235 thy fornicationH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto ChaldeaH3778; and yet thou wast not satisfiedH7646 herewithH2063.
How weakH535 is thine heartH3826, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, seeing thou doestH6213 all these things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 whorishH2181 womanH802;
In that thou buildestH1129 thine eminent placeH1354 in the headH7218 of every wayH1870, and makestH6213 thine high placeH7413 in every streetH7339; and hast not been as an harlotH2181, in that thou scornestH7046 hireH868; {In that thou buildest…: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}
But as a wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003, which takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376!
They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to all whoresH2181: but thou givestH5414 thy giftsH5083 to all thy loversH157, and hirestH7809 them, that they may comeH935 unto thee on every sideH5439 for thy whoredomH8457. {hirest: Heb. bribest}
And the contraryH2016 is in thee from other womenH802 in thy whoredomsH8457, whereas none followethH310 thee to commit whoredomsH2181: and in that thou givestH5414 a rewardH868, and no rewardH868 is givenH5414 unto thee, therefore thou artH1961 contraryH2016.
Wherefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thy filthinessH5178 was poured outH8210, and thy nakednessH6172 discoveredH1540 through thy whoredomsH8457 with thy loversH157, and with all the idolsH1544 of thy abominationsH8441, and by the bloodH1818 of thy childrenH1121, which thou didst giveH5414 unto them;
Behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 all thy loversH157, with whom thou hast taken pleasureH6149, and all them that thou hast lovedH157, with all them that thou hast hatedH8130; I will even gatherH6908 them round aboutH5439 against thee, and will discoverH1540 thy nakednessH6172 unto them, that they may seeH7200 all thy nakednessH6172.
And I will judgeH8199 thee, as women that break wedlockH5003 and shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will giveH5414 thee bloodH1818 in furyH2534 and jealousyH7068. {as: Heb. with judgments of}
And I will also giveH5414 thee into their handH3027, and they shall throw downH2040 thine eminent placeH1354, and shall break downH5422 thy high placesH7413: they shall stripH6584 thee also of thy clothesH899, and shall takeH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627, and leaveH3240 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181. {thy fair…: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
They shall also bring upH5927 a companyH6951 against thee, and they shall stoneH7275 thee with stonesH68, and thrust thee throughH1333 with their swordsH2719.
And they shall burnH8313 thine housesH1004 with fireH784, and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon thee in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802: and I will cause thee to ceaseH7673 from playing the harlotH2181, and thou also shalt giveH5414 no hireH868 any more.
So will I make my furyH2534 toward thee to restH5117, and my jealousyH7068 shall departH5493 from thee, and I will be quietH8252, and will be no more angryH3707.
Because thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, but hast frettedH7264 me in all these things; beholdH1887, therefore I also will recompenseH5414 thy wayH1870 upon thine headH7218, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and thou shalt not commitH6213 this lewdnessH2154 above all thine abominationsH8441.
Behold, every one that useth proverbsH4911 shall use this proverbH4911 against thee, sayingH559, As is the motherH517, so is her daughterH1323.
Thou art thy mother'sH517 daughterH1323, that lothethH1602 her husbandH376 and her childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, which lothedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.
And thine elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 at thy left handH8040: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwellethH3427 at thy right handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323. {thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592+H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870. {as if…: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not doneH6213, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323.
Behold, this was the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467, prideH1347, fulnessH7653 of breadH3899, and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 was in her and in her daughtersH1323, neither did she strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
And they were haughtyH1361, and committedH6213 abominationH8441 beforeH6440 me: therefore I took them awayH5493 as I sawH7200 good.
Neither hath SamariaH8111 committedH2398 halfH2677 of thy sinsH2403; but thou hast multipliedH7235 thine abominationsH8441 more than theyH2007, and hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269 in all thine abominationsH8441 which thou hast doneH6213.
Thou also, which hast judgedH6419 thy sistersH269, bearH5375 thine own shameH3639 for thy sinsH2403 that thou hast committed more abominableH8581 than theyH2004: they are more righteousH6663 than thou: yea, be thou confoundedH954 also, and bearH5375 thy shameH3639, in that thou hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269.
When I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622+H7622, the captivityH7622+H7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622+H7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, then will I bring again the captivityH7622+H7622 of thy captivesH7622 in the midstH8432 of them:
That thou mayest bearH5375 thine own shameH3639, and mayest be confoundedH3637 in all that thou hast doneH6213, in that thou art a comfortH5162 unto them.
When thy sistersH269, SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, shall returnH7725 to their former estateH6927, and SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their former estateH6927, then thou and thy daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to your former estateH6927.
For thy sisterH269 SodomH5467 was not mentionedH8052 by thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of thy prideH1347, {mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing} {pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies}
Before thy wickednessH7451 was discoveredH1540, as at the timeH6256 of thy reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of SyriaH758, and all that are round aboutH5439 her, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which despiseH7590 thee round aboutH5439. {Syria: Heb. Aram} {despise: or, spoil}
Thou hast borneH5375 thy lewdnessH2154 and thine abominationsH8441, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {borne: Heb. borne them}
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even dealH6213 with thee as thou hast doneH6213, which hast despisedH959 the oathH423 in breakingH6565 the covenantH1285.
Nevertheless I will rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with thee in the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, and I will establishH6965 unto thee an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
Then thou shalt rememberH2142 thy waysH1870, and be ashamedH3637, when thou shalt receiveH3947 thy sistersH269, thine elderH1419 and thy youngerH6996: and I will giveH5414 them unto thee for daughtersH1323, but not by thy covenantH1285.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068:
That thou mayest rememberH2142, and be confoundedH954, and never openH6610 thy mouthH6310 any more becauseH6440 of thy shameH3639, when I am pacifiedH3722 toward thee for all that thou hast doneH6213, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, put forthH2330 a riddleH2420, and speakH4911 a parableH4912 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478;
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; A greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671, longwingedH83+H750, fullH4392 of feathersH5133, which had divers coloursH7553, cameH935 unto LebanonH3844, and tookH3947 the highest branchH6788 of the cedarH730: {divers…: Heb. embroidering}
He cropped offH6998 the topH7218 of his young twigsH3242, and carriedH935 it into a landH776 of traffickH3667; he setH7760 it in a cityH5892 of merchantsH7402.
He tookH3947 also of the seedH2233 of the landH776, and plantedH5414 it in a fruitfulH2233 fieldH7704; he placedH3947 it by greatH7227 watersH4325, and setH7760 it as a willow treeH6851. {planted…: Heb. put it in a field of seed}
And it grewH6779, and became a spreadingH5628 vineH1612 of lowH8217 statureH6967, whose branchesH1808 turnedH6437 toward him, and the rootsH8328 thereof were under him: so it became a vineH1612, and brought forthH6213 branchesH905, and shotH7971 forth sprigsH6288.
There was also anotherH259 greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathersH5133: and, behold, this vineH1612 did bendH3719 her rootsH8328 toward him, and shot forthH7971 her branchesH1808 toward him, that he might waterH8248 it by the furrowsH6170 of her plantationH4302.
It was plantedH8362 in a goodH2896 soilH7704 by greatH7227 watersH4325, that it might bring forthH6213 branchesH6057, and that it might bearH5375 fruitH6529, that it might be a goodlyH155 vineH1612. {soil: Heb. field}
SayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Shall it prosperH6743? shall he not pull upH5423 the rootsH8328 thereof, and cut offH7082 the fruitH6529 thereof, that it witherH3001? it shall witherH3001 in all the leavesH2964 of her springH6780, even without greatH1419 powerH2220 or manyH7227 peopleH5971 to pluck it upH5375 by the rootsH8328 thereof.
Yea, behold, being plantedH8362, shall it prosperH6743? shall it not utterlyH3001 witherH3001, when the eastH6921 windH7307 touchethH5060 it? it shall witherH3001 in the furrowsH6170 where it grewH6780.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SayH559 now to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye not what these things mean? tellH559 them, Behold, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, and hath takenH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and ledH935 them with him to BabylonH894;
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will pleadH8199 with him there for his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604 against me.
And all his fugitivesH4015 with all his bandsH102 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward all windsH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also takeH3947 of the highest branchH6788 of the highH7311 cedarH730, and will setH5414 it; I will crop offH6998 from the topH7218 of his young twigsH3127 a tender oneH7390, and will plantH8362 it upon an highH1364 mountainH2022 and eminentH8524:
In the mountainH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478 will I plantH8362 it: and it shall bring forthH5375 boughsH6057, and bearH6213 fruitH6529, and be a goodlyH117 cedarH730: and under it shall dwellH7931 all fowlH6833 of every wingH3671; in the shadowH6738 of the branchesH1808 thereof shall they dwellH7931.
And all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have brought downH8213 the highH1364 treeH6086, have exaltedH1361 the lowH8217 treeH6086, have driedH3001 up the greenH3892 treeH6086, and have made the dryH3002 treeH6086 to flourishH6524: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 and have doneH6213 it.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, What is the vineH1612 treeH6086 more than any treeH6086, or than a branchH2156 which is among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293?
Shall woodH6086 be takenH3947 thereof to doH6213 any workH4399? or will men takeH3947 a pinH3489 of it to hangH8518 any vesselH3627 thereon?
Behold, it is castH5414 into the fireH784 for fuelH402; the fireH784 devourethH398 bothH8147 the endsH7098 of it, and the midstH8432 of it is burnedH2787. Is it meetH6743 for any workH4399? {Is it…: Heb. Will it prosper?}
Behold, when it was wholeH8549, it was meetH6213 for no workH4399: how much less shall it be meetH6213 yet for any workH4399, when the fireH784 hath devouredH398 it, and it is burnedH2787? {meet: Heb. made fit}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As the vineH1612 treeH6086 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293, which I have givenH5414 to the fireH784 for fuelH402, so will I giveH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against them; they shall go outH3318 from one fireH784, and another fireH784 shall devourH398 them; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I setH7760 my faceH6440 against them.
And I will makeH5414 the landH776 desolateH8077, because they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
IG1473 amG1510 the trueG228 vineG288, andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 isG2076 the husbandmanG1092.
EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1698 thatG846 bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 he taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.
AbideG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 youG5213. AsG2531 the branchG2814 cannotG3756+G1410 bearG5342 fruitG2590 ofG575 itselfG1438, exceptG3362 it abideG3306 inG1722 the vineG288; no moreG3761+G3779 can yeG5210, exceptG3362 ye abideG3306 inG1722 meG1698.
Behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall lopH5586 the boughH6288 with terrorH4637: and the high onesH7311 of statureH6967 shall be hewn downH1438, and the haughtyH1364 shall be humbledH8213.
And he shall cut downH5362 the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293 with ironH1270, and LebanonH3844 shall fallH5307 by a mighty oneH117. {by…: or, mightily}
And I will fastenH8628 him as a nailH3489 in a sureH539 placeH4725; and he shall be for a gloriousH3519 throneH3678 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
And they shall hangH8518 upon him all the gloryH3519 of his father'sH1 houseH1004, the offspringH6631 and the issueH6849, all vesselsH3627 of smallH6996 quantity, from the vesselsH3627 of cupsH101, even to all the vesselsH3627 of flagonsH5035. {vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols}
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall the nailH3489 that is fastenedH8628 in the sureH539 placeH4725 be removedH4185, and be cut downH1438, and fallH5307; and the burdenH4853 that was upon it shall be cut offH3772: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
Out of him came forthH3318 the cornerH6438, out of him the nailH3489, out of him the battleH4421 bowH7198, out of him every oppressorH5065 togetherH3162.
Thou hast broughtH5265 a vineH1612 out of EgyptH4714: thou hast cast outH1644 the heathenH1471, and plantedH5193 it.
Thou preparedstH6437 room beforeH6440 it, and didst cause it to take deepH8328 rootH8327, and it filledH4390 the landH776.
The hillsH2022 were coveredH3680 with the shadowH6738 of it, and the boughsH6057 thereof were like the goodlyH410 cedarsH730. {goodly…: Heb. cedars of God}
She sent outH7971 her boughsH7105 unto the seaH3220, and her branchesH3127 unto the riverH5104.
Why hast thou then broken downH6555 her hedgesH1447, so that all they which passH5674 by the wayH1870 do pluckH717 her?
The boarH2386 out of the woodH3293 doth wasteH3765 it, and the wild beastH2123 of the fieldH7704 doth devourH7462 it.
ReturnH7725, we beseech thee, O GodH430 of hostsH6635: look downH5027 from heavenH8064, and beholdH7200, and visitH6485 this vineH1612;
And the vineyardH3657+H3661 which thy right handH3225 hath plantedH5193, and the branchH1121 that thou madest strongH553 for thyself.
It is burnedH8313 with fireH784, it is cut downH3683: they perishH6 at the rebukeH1606 of thy countenanceH6440.
Yet I had plantedH5193 thee a noble vineH8321, wholly a rightH571 seedH2233: how then art thou turnedH2015 into the degenerate plantH5494 of a strangeH5237 vineH1612 unto me?
IsraelH3478 is an emptyH1238 vineH1612, he bringeth forthH7737 fruitH6529 unto himself: according to the multitudeH7230 of his fruitH6529 he hath increasedH7235 the altarsH4196; according to the goodnessH2896 of his landH776 they have made goodlyH2895 imagesH4676. {an…: or, a vine emptying the fruit which it giveth} {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images}
EphraimH669 shall say, What have I to do any more with idolsH6091? I have heardH6030 him, and observedH7789 him: I am like a greenH7488 fir treeH1265. From me is thy fruitH6529 foundH4672.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, What is the vineH1612 treeH6086 more than any treeH6086, or than a branchH2156 which is among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293?
Shall woodH6086 be takenH3947 thereof to doH6213 any workH4399? or will men takeH3947 a pinH3489 of it to hangH8518 any vesselH3627 thereon?
Behold, it is castH5414 into the fireH784 for fuelH402; the fireH784 devourethH398 bothH8147 the endsH7098 of it, and the midstH8432 of it is burnedH2787. Is it meetH6743 for any workH4399? {Is it…: Heb. Will it prosper?}
Behold, when it was wholeH8549, it was meetH6213 for no workH4399: how much less shall it be meetH6213 yet for any workH4399, when the fireH784 hath devouredH398 it, and it is burnedH2787? {meet: Heb. made fit}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As the vineH1612 treeH6086 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293, which I have givenH5414 to the fireH784 for fuelH402, so will I giveH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against them; they shall go outH3318 from one fireH784, and another fireH784 shall devourH398 them; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I setH7760 my faceH6440 against them.
And I will makeH5414 the landH776 desolateH8077, because they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Now will I singH7891 to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121+H8081 hillH7161: {a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
HearG191 anotherG243 parableG3850: There wasG2258 a certainG444+G5100 householderG3617, whichG3748 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 hedgedG5418 itG846 round aboutG4060, andG2532 diggedG3736 a winepressG3025 inG1722 itG846, andG2532 builtG3618 a towerG4444, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 outG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589:
AndG1161 whenG3753 the timeG2540 of the fruitG2590 drew nearG1448, he sentG649 hisG846 servantsG1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG1092, that they might receiveG2983 the fruitsG2590 of itG846.
AndG2532 the husbandmenG1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739+G3303, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739.
AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 unto themG846 likewiseG5615.
ButG1161 last of allG5305 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 hisG846 sonG5207, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG3450 sonG5207.
ButG1161 when the husbandmenG1092 sawG1492 the sonG5207, they saidG2036 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG2076 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 let us seizeG2722 on hisG846 inheritanceG2817.
AndG2532 they caughtG2983 himG846, and castG1544 him out ofG1854 the vineyardG290, andG2532 slewG615 him.
WhenG3752 the lordG2962 thereforeG3767 of the vineyardG290 comethG2064, whatG5101 will he doG4160 unto thoseG1565 husbandmenG1092?
They sayG3004 unto himG846, He will miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG290 unto otherG243 husbandmenG1092, whichG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG2540.
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
