And it came to pass in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye comeH935 to enquireH1875 of me? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1: {Wilt…: or, Wilt thou plead for them}
And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and made myself knownH3045 unto them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I liftedH5375 up mine handH3027 unto them, sayingH559, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; {lifted…: or, sware}
In the dayH3117 that I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them, to bring them forthH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had espiedH8446 for them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776:
Then saidH559 I unto them, Cast ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Wherefore I caused them to go forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 them into the wildernessH4057.
And I gaveH5414 them my statutesH2708, and shewedH3045 them my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them. {shewed…: Heb. made them to know}
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776;
Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.
Nevertheless mine eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them from destroyingH7843 them, neither did I makeH6213 an endH3617 of them in the wildernessH4057.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them;
And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 mine handH3027, and wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them forthH3318.
I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them also in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776;
Because they had not executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but had despisedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathers'H1 idolsH1544.
Wherefore I gaveH5414 them also statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and judgmentsH4941 whereby they should not liveH2421;
And I pollutedH2930 them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to pass throughH5674 the fire all that openethH6363 the wombH7356, that I might make them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Yet in this your fathersH1 have blasphemedH1442 me, in that they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604 against me. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
Then I saidH559 unto them, What is the high placeH1116 whereunto ye goH935? And the nameH8034 thereof is calledH7121 BamahH1117 unto this dayH3117. {I said…: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah}
Wherefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye pollutedH2930 after the mannerH1870 of your fathersH1? and commit ye whoredomH2181 afterH310 their abominationsH8251?
For when ye offerH5375 your giftsH4979, when ye make your sonsH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, ye polluteH2930 yourselves with all your idolsH1544, even unto this dayH3117: and shall I be enquiredH1875 of by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
And that which comethH5927 into your mindH7307 shall not be at all, that ye sayH559, We will beH1961 as the heathenH1471, as the familiesH4940 of the countriesH776, to serveH8334 woodH6086 and stoneH68.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210, will I ruleH4427 over you:
And I will bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and will gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye are scatteredH6327, with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210.
And I will bringH935 you into the wildernessH4057 of the peopleH5971, and there will I pleadH8199 with you faceH6440 to faceH6440.
Like as I pleadedH8199 with your fathersH1 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so will I pleadH8199 with you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will cause you to passH5674 under the rodH7626, and I will bringH935 you into the bondH4562 of the covenantH1285: {bond: or, delivering}
And I will purge outH1305 from among you the rebelsH4775, and them that transgressH6586 against me: I will bring them forthH3318 out of the countryH776 where they sojournH4033, and they shall not enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
As for you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; GoH3212 ye, serveH5647 ye every oneH376 his idolsH1544, and hereafterH310 also, if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me: but polluteH2490 ye my holyH6944 nameH8034 no more with your giftsH4979, and with your idolsH1544.
For in mine holyH6944 mountainH2022, in the mountainH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, there shall all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, all of them in the landH776, serveH5647 me: there will I acceptH7521 them, and there will I requireH1875 your offeringsH8641, and the firstfruitsH7225 of your oblationsH4864, with all your holy thingsH6944. {firstfruits: or, chief}
I will acceptH7521 you with your sweetH5207 savourH7381, when I bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye have been scatteredH6327; and I will be sanctifiedH6942 in you beforeH5869 the heathenH1471. {sweet…: Heb. savour of rest}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478, into the countryH776 for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to your fathersH1.
And there shall ye rememberH2142 your waysH1870, and all your doingsH5949, wherein ye have been defiledH2930; and ye shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for all your evilsH7451 that ye have committedH6213.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have wroughtH6213 with you for my name'sH8034 sake, not according to your wickedH7451 waysH1870, nor according to your corruptH7843 doingsH5949, O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 towardH1870 the southH8486, and dropH5197 thy word toward the southH1864, and prophesyH5012 against the forestH3293 of the southH5045 fieldH7704;
And sayH559 to the forestH3293 of the southH5045, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in thee, and it shall devourH398 every greenH3892 treeH6086 in thee, and every dryH3002 treeH6086: the flamingH3852 flameH7957 shall not be quenchedH3518, and all facesH6440 from the southH5045 to the northH6828 shall be burnedH6866 therein.
And all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 that I the LORDH3068 have kindledH1197 it: it shall not be quenchedH3518.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! they sayH559 of me, Doth he not speakH4911 parablesH4912?
Ye shall makeH6213 you no idolsH457 nor graven imageH6459, neither rear you upH6965 a standing imageH4676, neither shall ye set upH5414 any imageH4906 of stoneH68 in your landH776, to bow downH7812 unto it: for I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430. {standing…: or, pillar} {image of…: or, figured stone: Heb. a stone of picture}
Ye shall keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and reverenceH3372 my sanctuaryH4720: I am the LORDH3068.
If ye walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them;
Then I will giveH5414 you rainH1653 in due seasonH6256, and the landH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 their fruitH6529.
And your threshingH1786 shall reachH5381 unto the vintageH1210, and the vintageH1210 shall reachH5381 unto the sowing timeH2233: and ye shall eatH398 your breadH3899 to the fullH7648, and dwellH3427 in your landH776 safelyH983.
And I will giveH5414 peaceH7965 in the landH776, and ye shall lie downH7901, and none shall make you afraidH2729: and I will ridH7673 evilH7451 beastsH2416 out of the landH776, neither shall the swordH2719 goH5674 through your landH776. {rid: Heb. cause to cease}
And ye shall chaseH7291 your enemiesH341, and they shall fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719.
And fiveH2568 of you shall chaseH7291 an hundredH3967, and an hundredH3967 of you shall put ten thousandH7233 to flightH7291: and your enemiesH341 shall fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719.
For I will have respectH6437 unto you, and make you fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 you, and establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with you.
And ye shall eatH398 old storeH3462, and bring forthH3318 the oldH3465 becauseH6440 of the newH2319.
And I will setH5414 my tabernacleH4908 amongH8432 you: and my soulH5315 shall not abhorH1602 you.
And I will walkH1980 amongH8432 you, and will beH1961 your GodH430, and ye shall beH1961 my peopleH5971.
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, that ye should not be their bondmenH5650; and I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of your yokeH5923, and made you goH3212 uprightH6968.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me, and will not doH6213 all these commandmentsH4687;
And if ye shall despiseH3988 my statutesH2708, or if your soulH5315 abhorH1602 my judgmentsH4941, so that ye will not doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, but that ye breakH6565 my covenantH1285:
I also will doH6213 this unto you; I will even appointH6485 over you terrorH928, consumptionH7829, and the burning agueH6920, that shall consumeH3615 the eyesH5869, and cause sorrowH1727 of heartH5315: and ye shall sowH2232 your seedH2233 in vainH7385, for your enemiesH341 shall eatH398 it. {over: Heb. upon}
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against you, and ye shall be slainH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341: they that hateH8130 you shall reignH7287 over you; and ye shall fleeH5127 when none pursuethH7291 you.
And if ye will not yetH5704 for all this hearkenH8085 unto me, then I will punishH3256 you seven timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403.
And I will breakH7665 the prideH1347 of your powerH5797; and I will makeH5414 your heavenH8064 as ironH1270, and your earthH776 as brassH5154:
And your strengthH3581 shall be spentH8552 in vainH7385: for your landH776 shall not yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, neither shall the treesH6086 of the landH776 yieldH5414 their fruitsH6529.
And if ye walkH3212 contraryH7147 unto me, and willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me; I will bringH3254 seven timesH7651 moreH3254 plaguesH4347 upon you according to your sinsH2403. {contrary…: or, at all adventures with me}
I will also sendH7971 wildH7704 beastsH2416 among you, which shall rob you of your childrenH7921, and destroyH3772 your cattleH929, and make you few in numberH4591; and your high waysH1870 shall be desolateH8074.
And if ye will not be reformedH3256 by me by these things, but will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then will I also walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you, and will punishH5221 you yetH1571 seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, that shall avengeH5358 the quarrelH5359 of my covenantH1285: and when ye are gathered togetherH622 withinH413 your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 the pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you; and ye shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And when I have brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of your breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 shall bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they shall deliverH7725 you your breadH3899 againH7725 by weightH4948: and ye shall eatH398, and not be satisfiedH7646.
And if ye will not for all thisH2063 hearkenH8085 unto me, but walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then I will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you also in furyH2534; and I, evenH637 I, will chastiseH3256 you seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323 shall ye eatH398.
And I will destroyH8045 your high placesH1116, and cut downH3772 your imagesH2553, and castH5414 your carcasesH6297 upon the carcasesH6297 of your idolsH1544, and my soulH5315 shall abhorH1602 you.
And I will makeH5414 your citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and bringH8074 your sanctuariesH4720 unto desolationH8074, and I will not smellH7306 the savourH7381 of your sweet odoursH5207.
And I will bringH8074 the landH776 into desolationH8074: and your enemiesH341 which dwellH3427 therein shall be astonishedH8074 at it.
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
Then shall the landH776 enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, as longH3117 as it lieth desolateH8074, and ye be in your enemies'H341 landH776; even then shall the landH776 restH7673, and enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676.
As long asH3117 it lieth desolateH8074 it shall restH7673; because it did not restH7673 in your sabbathsH7676, when ye dweltH3427 upon it.
And upon them that are leftH7604 alive of you I will sendH935 a faintnessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH341; and the soundH6963 of a shakenH5086 leafH5929 shall chaseH7291 them; and they shall fleeH5127, as fleeingH4499 from a swordH2719; and they shall fallH5307 when none pursuethH7291. {shaken: Heb. driven}
And they shall fallH3782 oneH376 upon anotherH251, as it were beforeH6440 a swordH2719, when none pursuethH7291: and ye shall have no power to standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
And ye shall perishH6 among the heathenH1471, and the landH776 of your enemiesH341 shall eat you upH398.
And they that are leftH7604 of you shall pine awayH4743 in their iniquityH5771 in your enemies'H341 landsH776; and also in the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1 shall they pine awayH4743 with them.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
Then will I rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and also my covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and also my covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 will I rememberH2142; and I will rememberH2142 the landH776.
The landH776 also shall be leftH5800 of them, and shall enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, while she lieth desolateH8074 without them: and they shall acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771: becauseH3282, even becauseH3282 they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and because their soulH5315 abhorredH1602 my statutesH2708.
And yetH637 for all thatH2063, when they beH1571 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, I will not cast them awayH3988, neither will I abhorH1602 them, to destroy them utterlyH3615, and to breakH6565 my covenantH1285 with them: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But I will for their sakes rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of their ancestorsH7223, whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, that I might be their GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
These are the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 and lawsH8451, which the LORDH3068 madeH5414 between him and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
Give earH238, O ye heavensH8064, and I will speakH1696; and hearH8085, O earthH776, the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.
My doctrineH3948 shall dropH6201 as the rainH4306, my speechH565 shall distilH5140 as the dewH2919, as the small rainH8164 upon the tender herbH1877, and as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212:
Because I will publishH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: ascribeH3051 ye greatnessH1433 unto our GodH430.
He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
They have corruptedH7843 themselves, their spotH3971 is not the spot of his childrenH1121: they are a perverseH6141 and crookedH6618 generationH1755. {They have…: Heb. He hath corrupted to himself} {their…: or, that they are not his children, that is their blot}
Do ye thus requiteH1580 the LORDH3068, O foolishH5036 peopleH5971 and unwiseH2450? is not he thy fatherH1 that hath boughtH7069 thee? hath he not madeH6213 thee, and establishedH3559 thee?
RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, considerH995 the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755: askH7592 thy fatherH1, and he will shewH5046 thee; thy eldersH2205, and they will tellH559 thee. {many…: Heb. generation and generation}
When the most HighH5945 dividedH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, when he separatedH6504 the sonsH1121 of AdamH120, he setH5324 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971 according to the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For the LORD'SH3068 portionH2506 is his peopleH5971; JacobH3290 is the lotH2256 of his inheritanceH5159. {lot: Heb. cord}
He foundH4672 him in a desertH4057 landH776, and in the wasteH8414 howlingH3214 wildernessH3452; he led him aboutH5437, he instructedH995 him, he keptH5341 him as the appleH380 of his eyeH5869. {led: or, compassed}
As an eagleH5404 stirreth upH5782 her nestH7064, flutterethH7363 over her youngH1469, spreadeth abroadH6566 her wingsH3671, takethH3947 them, bearethH5375 them on her wingsH84:
So the LORDH3068 aloneH910 did leadH5148 him, and there was no strangeH5236 godH410 with him.
He made him rideH7392 on the high placesH1116 of the earthH776, that he might eatH398 the increaseH8570 of the fieldsH7704; and he made him to suckH3243 honeyH1706 out of the rockH5553, and oilH8081 out of the flintyH2496 rockH6697;
ButterH2529 of kineH1241, and milkH2461 of sheepH6629, with fatH2459 of lambsH3733, and ramsH352 of the breedH1121 of BashanH1316, and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of kidneysH3629 of wheatH2406; and thou didst drinkH8354 the pureH2561 bloodH1818 of the grapeH6025.
But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grown thickH5666, thou art coveredH3780 with fatness; then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, and lightly esteemedH5034 the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.
They provoked him to jealousyH7065 with strangeH2114 gods, with abominationsH8441 provoked they him to angerH3707.
They sacrificedH2076 unto devilsH7700, not to GodH433; to godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, to newH2319 gods that cameH935 newlyH7138 upH935, whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175 not. {not to…: or, which were not God}
Of the RockH6697 that begatH3205 thee thou art unmindfulH7876, and hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that formedH2342 thee.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, he abhorredH5006 them, because of the provokingH3708 of his sonsH1121, and of his daughtersH1323. {abhorred: or, despised}
And he saidH559, I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200 what their endH319 shall be: for they are a very frowardH8419 generationH1755, childrenH1121 in whom is no faithH529.
They have moved me to jealousyH7065 with that which is notH3808 GodH410; they have provoked me to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: and I will move them to jealousyH7065 with those which are not a peopleH5971; I will provoke them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471.
For a fireH784 is kindledH6919 in mine angerH639, and shall burnH3344 unto the lowestH8482 hellH7585, and shall consumeH398 the earthH776 with her increaseH2981, and set on fireH3857 the foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022. {shall burn: or, hath burned} {shall consume: or, hath consumed}
I will heapH5595 mischiefsH7451 upon them; I will spendH3615 mine arrowsH2671 upon them.
They shall be burntH4198 with hungerH7458, and devouredH3898 with burning heatH7565, and with bitterH4815 destructionH6986: I will also sendH7971 the teethH8127 of beastsH929 upon them, with the poisonH2534 of serpentsH2119 of the dustH6083. {heat: Heb. coals}
The swordH2719 withoutH2351, and terrorH367 withinH2315, shall destroyH7921 both the young manH970 and the virginH1330, the sucklingH3243 also with the manH376 of gray hairsH7872. {within: Heb. from the chambers} {destroy: Heb. bereave}
I saidH559, I would scatter them into cornersH6284, I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among menH582:
Were it notH3884 that I fearedH1481 the wrathH3708 of the enemyH341, lest their adversariesH6862 should behave themselves strangelyH5234, and lest they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is highH7311, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6466 all this. {Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done}
For they are a nationH1471 voidH6 of counselH6098, neither is there any understandingH8394 in them.
O thatH3863 they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH7919 this, that they would considerH995 their latter endH319!
How should oneH259 chaseH7291 a thousandH505, and twoH8147 put tenH7233 thousandH505 to flightH5127, exceptH3808 their RockH6697 had soldH4376 themH3588, and the LORDH3068 had shut them upH5462?
For their rockH6697 is not as our RockH6697, even our enemiesH341 themselves being judgesH6414.
For their vineH1612 is of the vineH1612 of SodomH5467, and of the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017: their grapesH6025 are grapesH6025 of gallH7219, their clustersH811 are bitterH4846: {of the vine: or, worse than the vine}
Their wineH3196 is the poisonH2534 of dragonsH8577, and the cruelH393 venomH7219 of aspsH6620.
Is not this laid up in storeH3647 with me, and sealed upH2856 among my treasuresH214?
To me belongeth vengeanceH5359, and recompenceH8005; their footH7272 shall slideH4131 in due timeH6256: for the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is at handH7138, and the things that shall comeH6264 upon them make hasteH2363.
For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, and repentH5162 himself for his servantsH5650, when he seethH7200 that their powerH3027 is goneH235, and there is noneH657 shut upH6113, or leftH5800. {power: Heb. hand}
And he shall sayH559, Where are their godsH430, their rockH6697 in whom they trustedH2620,
Which did eatH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077, and drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drink offeringsH5257? let them rise upH6965 and helpH5826 you, and be your protectionH5643. {your…: Heb. an hiding for you}
SeeH7200 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no godH430 with me: I killH4191, and I make aliveH2421; I woundH4272, and I healH7495: neither is there any that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027.
For I lift upH5375 my handH3027 to heavenH8064, and sayH559, I liveH2416 for everH5769.
If I whetH8150 my glitteringH1300 swordH2719, and mine handH3027 take holdH270 on judgmentH4941; I will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to mine enemiesH6862, and will rewardH7999 them that hateH8130 me.
I will make mine arrowsH2671 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818, and my swordH2719 shall devourH398 fleshH1320; and that with the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and of the captivesH7633, from the beginningH7218 of revengesH6546 upon the enemyH341.
RejoiceH7442, O ye nationsH1471, with his peopleH5971: for he will avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of his servantsH5650, and will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to his adversariesH6862, and will be mercifulH3722 unto his landH127, and to his peopleH5971. {Rejoice…: or, Praise his people, ye nations: or, Sing ye}
And MosesH4872 cameH935 and spakeH1696 all the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, he, and HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. {Hoshea: or, Joshua}
And MosesH4872 made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all these wordsH1697 to all IsraelH3478:
And he saidH559 unto them, SetH7760 your heartsH3824 unto all the wordsH1697 which I testifyH5749 among you this dayH3117, which ye shall commandH6680 your childrenH1121 to observeH8104 to doH6213, all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451.
For it is not a vainH7386 thingH1697 for you; because it is your lifeH2416: and through this thingH1697 ye shall prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH127, whither ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 that selfsameH6106 dayH3117, sayingH559,
Get thee upH5927 into this mountainH2022 AbarimH5682, unto mountH2022 NeboH5015, which is in the landH776 of MoabH4124, that is over againstH6440 JerichoH3405; and beholdH7200 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which I giveH5414 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for a possessionH272:
And dieH4191 in the mountH2022 whither thou goest upH5927, and be gatheredH622 unto thy peopleH5971; as AaronH175 thy brotherH251 diedH4191 in mountH2022 HorH2023, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971:
Because ye trespassedH4603 against me amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the watersH4325 of Meribah-KadeshH4808+H6946, in the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790; because ye sanctifiedH6942 me not in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {Meribah-Kadesh: or, strife at Kadesh}
Yet thou shalt seeH7200 the landH776 before thee; but thou shalt not goH935 thither unto the landH776 which I giveH5414 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
HearH8085 ye this wordH1697 which I take upH5375 against you, even a lamentationH7015, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
The virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 is fallenH5307; she shall no moreH3254 riseH6965: she is forsakenH5203 upon her landH127; there is none to raise her upH6965.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; The cityH5892 that went outH3318 by a thousandH505 shall leaveH7604 an hundredH3967, and that which went forthH3318 by an hundredH3967 shall leaveH7604 tenH6235, to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875 ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:
But seekH1875 not BethelH1008, nor enterH935 into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540, and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068, and ye shall liveH2421; lest he break outH6743 like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and devourH398 it, and there be none to quenchH3518 it in BethelH1008.
Ye who turnH2015 judgmentH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and leave offH3240 righteousnessH6666 in the earthH776,
Seek him that makethH6213 the seven starsH3598 and OrionH3685, and turnethH2015 the shadow of deathH6757 into the morningH1242, and maketh the dayH3117 darkH2821 with nightH3915: that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034:
That strengthenethH1082 the spoiledH7701 against the strongH5794, so that the spoiledH7701 shall comeH935 against the fortressH4013. {spoiled: Heb. spoil}
They hateH8130 him that rebukethH3198 in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581 him that speakethH1696 uprightlyH8549.
ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318 is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947 from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 of them. {pleasant…: Heb. vineyards of desire}
For I knowH3045 your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887 the justH6662, they takeH3947 a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186 the poorH34 in the gateH8179 from their right. {a bribe: or, a ransom}
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.
Therefore the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the LordH136, saithH559 thus; WailingH4553 shall be in all streetsH7339; and they shall sayH559 in all the highwaysH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandmanH406 to mourningH60, and such as are skilfulH3045 of lamentationH5092 to wailingH4553.
And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553: for I will passH5674 throughH7130 thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
Shall not the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
I hateH8130, I despiseH3988 your feast daysH2282, and I will not smellH7306 in your solemn assembliesH6116. {in…: or, your holy days}
Though ye offerH5927 me burnt offeringsH5930 and your meat offeringsH4503, I will not acceptH7521 them: neither will I regardH5027 the peace offeringsH8002 of your fat beastsH4806. {peace…: or, thank offerings}
Take thou awayH5493 from me the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892; for I will not hearH8085 the melodyH2172 of thy violsH5035.
But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556 as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 streamH5158. {run: Heb. roll}
Have ye offeredH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
But ye have borneH5375 the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your godH430, which ye madeH6213 to yourselves. {the tabernacle…: or, Siccuth your king}
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834, saithH559 the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is The GodH430 of hostsH6635.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, twoH8147 partsH6310 therein shall be cut offH3772 and dieH1478; but the thirdH7992 shall be leftH3498 therein.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
In that dayH3117 there shall be a fountainH4726 openedH6605 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 for sinH2403 and for uncleannessH5079. {uncleanness: Heb. separation for uncleanness}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that I will cut offH3772 the namesH8034 of the idolsH6091 out of the landH776, and they shall no more be rememberedH2142: and also I will cause the prophetsH5030 and the uncleanH2932 spiritH7307 to passH5674 out of the landH776.
And it shall come to pass, that when anyH376 shall yet prophesyH5012, then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall sayH559 unto him, Thou shalt not liveH2421; for thou speakestH1696 liesH8267 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall thrustH1856 him through when he prophesiethH5012.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the prophetsH5030 shall be ashamedH954 every oneH376 of his visionH2384, when he hath prophesiedH5012; neither shall they wearH3847 a roughH8181 garmentH155 to deceiveH3584: {a rough…: Heb. a garment of hair} {deceive: Heb. lie}
But he shall sayH559, I am no prophetH5030, I am an husbandmanH376+H5647+H127; for manH120 taught me to keep cattleH7069 from my youthH5271.
And one shall sayH559 unto him, What are these woundsH4347 in thine handsH3027? Then he shall answerH559, Those with which I was woundedH5221 in the houseH1004 of my friendsH157.
AwakeH5782, O swordH2719, against my shepherdH7462, and against the manH1397 that is my fellowH5997, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: smiteH5221 the shepherdH7462, and the sheepH6629 shall be scatteredH6327: and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 upon the little onesH6819.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, twoH8147 partsH6310 therein shall be cut offH3772 and dieH1478; but the thirdH7992 shall be leftH3498 therein.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
