Versliste
So I spakeH1696 unto the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242: and at evenH6153 my wifeH802 diedH4191; and I didH6213 in the morningH1242 as I was commandedH6680.
And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
Then cameH935 certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 unto me, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
And they comeH935 unto thee as the peopleH5971 comethH3996, and they sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee as my peopleH5971, and they hearH8085 thy wordsH1697, but they will not doH6213 them: for with their mouthH6310 they shewH6213 much loveH5690, but their heartH3820 goethH1980 afterH310 their covetousnessH1215. {as the…: Heb. according to the coming of the people} {they sit…: or, my people sit before thee} {they shew…: Heb. they make loves, or, jests}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
Then I cameH935 to them of the captivityH1473 at TelabibH8512, that dweltH3427 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, and I satH3427 where they satH3427, and remainedH3427 there astonishedH8074 amongH8432 them sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And it came to pass in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, in the sixthH8345 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I satH3427 in mine houseH1004, and the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 satH3427 beforeH6440 me, that the handH3027 of the LordH136 GODH3069 fellH5307 there upon me.
BuildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them;
Then cameH935 certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 unto me, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
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.
The LORDH3068 shewedH7200 me, and, behold, twoH8147 basketsH1736 of figsH8384 were setH3259 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, afterH310 that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried away captiveH1540 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, with the carpentersH2796 and smithsH4525, from JerusalemH3389, and had broughtH935 them to BabylonH894.
As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rainH1653, so was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439. This was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one that spakeH1696.
Then the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and I heardH8085 behindH310 me a voiceH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494, saying, BlessedH1288 be the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 from his placeH4725.
Then I aroseH6965, and went forthH3318 into the plainH1237: and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 there, as the gloryH3519 which I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529: and I fellH5307 on my faceH6440.
And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was there, according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 in the plainH1237.
And the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was gone upH5927 from the cherubH3742, whereupon he was, to the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004. And he calledH7121 to the manH376 clothedH3847 with linenH906, which had the writer'sH5608 inkhornH7083 by his sideH4975;
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH7311 from the cherubH3742, and stood over the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004; and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051, and the courtH2691 was fullH4390 of the brightnessH5051 of the LORD'SH3068 gloryH3519. {went up: Heb. was lifted up}
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 departedH3318 from off the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004, and stoodH5975 over the cherubimsH3742.
And, behold, the gloryH3519 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 from the wayH1870 of the eastH6921: and his voiceH6963 was like a noiseH6963 of manyH7227 watersH4325: and the earthH776 shinedH215 with his gloryH3519.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 into the houseH1004 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 whose prospectH6440 is towardH1870 the eastH6921.
So the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691; and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against ZidonH6721, and prophesyH5012 against it,
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O ZidonH6721; and I will be glorifiedH3513 in the midstH8432 of thee: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall have executedH6213 judgmentsH8201 in her, and shall be sanctifiedH6942 in her.
For I will sendH7971 into her pestilenceH1698, and bloodH1818 into her streetsH2351; and the woundedH2491 shall be judgedH5307 in the midstH8432 of her by the swordH2719 upon her on every sideH5439; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And there shall be no more a prickingH3992 brierH5544 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, nor any grievingH3510 thornH6975 of all that are round aboutH5439 them, that despisedH7590 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When I shall have gatheredH6908 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 from the peopleH5971 among whom they are scatteredH6327, and shall be sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, then shall they dwellH3427 in their landH127 that I have givenH5414 to my servantH5650 JacobH3290.
And they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 therein, and shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754; yea, they shall dwellH3427 with confidenceH983, when I have executedH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon all those that despiseH7590 them round aboutH5439 them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430. {safely: or, with confidence} {despise: or, spoil}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
Thou also, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a tileH3843, and layH5414 it beforeH6440 thee, and pourtrayH2710 upon it the cityH5892, even JerusalemH3389:
And layH5414 siegeH4692 against it, and buildH1129 a fortH1785 against it, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against it; setH5414 the campH4264 also against it, and setH7760 battering ramsH3733 against it round aboutH5439. {battering…: chief leaders}
Moreover takeH3947 thou unto thee an ironH1270 panH4227, and setH5414 it for a wallH7023 of ironH1270 between thee and the cityH5892: and setH3559 thy faceH6440 against it, and it shall be besiegedH4692, and thou shalt lay siegeH6696 against it. This shall be a signH226 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. {an…: or, a flat plate, or, slice}
LieH7901 thou also upon thy leftH8042 sideH6654, and layH7760 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 upon it: according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon it thou shalt bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
For I have laidH5414 upon thee the yearsH8141 of their iniquityH5771, according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117: so shalt thou bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
And when thou hast accomplishedH3615 themH428, lieH7901 againH8145 on thy rightH3233+H3227 sideH6654, and thou shalt bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 fortyH705 daysH3117: I have appointedH5414 thee each dayH3117+H3117 for a yearH8141+H8141. {each…: Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year}
Therefore thou shalt setH3559 thy faceH6440 toward the siegeH4692 of JerusalemH3389, and thine armH2220 shall be uncoveredH2834, and thou shalt prophesyH5012 against it.
And, behold, I will layH5414 bandsH5688 upon thee, and thou shalt not turnH2015 thee from one sideH6654 to anotherH6654, till thou hast endedH3615 the daysH3117 of thy siegeH4692. {from one…: Heb. from thy side to thy side}
TakeH3947 thou also unto thee wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and beansH6321, and lentilesH5742, and milletH1764, and fitchesH3698, and putH5414 them in oneH259 vesselH3627, and makeH6213 thee breadH3899 thereof, according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon thy sideH6654, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117 shalt thou eatH398 thereof. {fitches: or, spelt}
And thy meatH3978 which thou shalt eatH398 shall be by weightH4946, twentyH6242 shekelsH8255 a dayH3117: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou eatH398 it.
Thou shalt drinkH8354 also waterH4325 by measureH4884, the sixth partH8345 of an hinH1969: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou drinkH8354.
And thou shalt eatH398 it as barleyH8184 cakesH5692, and thou shalt bakeH5746 it with dungH1561 that cometh outH6627 of manH120, in their sightH5869.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Even thus shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 eatH398 their defiledH2931 breadH3899 among the GentilesH1471, whither I will driveH5080 them.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, my soulH5315 hath not been pollutedH2930: for from my youthH5271 up even till now have I not eatenH398 of that which dieth of itselfH5038, or is torn in piecesH2966; neither cameH935 there abominableH6292 fleshH1320 into my mouthH6310.
Then he saidH559 unto me, LoH7200, I have givenH5414 thee cow'sH1241 dungH6832+H6832 for man'sH120 dungH1561, and thou shalt prepareH6213 thy breadH3899 therewith.
Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of breadH3899 in JerusalemH3389: and they shall eatH398 breadH3899 by weightH4948, and with careH1674; and they shall drinkH8354 waterH4325 by measureH4884, and with astonishmentH8078:
That they may wantH2637 breadH3899 and waterH4325, and be astoniedH8074 oneH376 with anotherH251, and consume awayH4743 for their iniquityH5771.
And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a sharpH2299 knifeH2719, takeH3947 thee a barber'sH1532 razorH8593, and cause it to passH5674 upon thine headH7218 and upon thy beardH2206: then takeH3947 thee balancesH3976 to weighH4948, and divideH2505 the hair.
Thou shalt burnH1197 with fireH217 a third partH7992 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, when the daysH3117 of the siegeH4692 are fulfilledH4390: and thou shalt takeH3947 a third partH7992, and smiteH5221 aboutH5439 it with a knifeH2719: and a third partH7992 thou shalt scatterH2219 in the windH7307; and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
Thou shalt also takeH3947 thereof a fewH4592 in numberH4557, and bindH6696 them in thy skirtsH3671. {skirts: Heb. wings}
Then take of them againH3947, and castH7993 them into the midstH8432 of the fireH784, and burnH8313 them in the fireH784; for thereof shall a fireH784 come forthH3318 into all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; This is JerusalemH3389: I have setH7760 it in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471 and countriesH776 that are round aboutH5439 her.
And she hath changedH4784 my judgmentsH4941 into wickednessH7564 more than the nationsH1471, and my statutesH2708 more than the countriesH776 that are round aboutH5439 her: for they have refusedH3988 my judgmentsH4941 and my statutesH2708, they have not walkedH1980 in them.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye multipliedH1995 more than the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you, and have not walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708, neither have keptH6213 my judgmentsH4941, neither have doneH6213 according to the judgmentsH4941 of the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you;
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will executeH6213 judgmentsH4941 in the midstH8432 of thee in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471.
And I will doH6213 in thee that which I have not doneH6213, and whereunto I will not doH6213 any more the like, becauseH3282 of all thine abominationsH8441.
Therefore the fathersH1 shall eatH398 the sonsH1121 in the midstH8432 of thee, and the sonsH1121 shall eatH398 their fathersH1; and I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in thee, and the whole remnantH7611 of thee will I scatterH2219 into all the windsH7307.
Wherefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely, because thou hast defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 with all thy detestable thingsH8251, and with all thine abominationsH8441, therefore will I also diminishH1639 thee; neither shall mine eyeH5869 spareH2347, neither will I have any pityH2550.
A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191 with the pestilenceH1698, and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 of thee: and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and I will scatterH2219 a third partH7992 into all the windsH7307, and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 also came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, thou dwellestH3427 in the midstH8432 of a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, which have eyesH5869 to seeH7200, and seeH7200 not; they have earsH241 to hearH8085, and hearH8085 not: for they are a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prepareH6213 thee stuffH3627 for removingH1473, and removeH1540 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869; and thou shalt removeH1540 from thy placeH4725 to anotherH312 placeH4725 in their sightH5869: it may be they will considerH7200, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004. {stuff: or, instruments}
Then shalt thou bring forthH3318 thy stuffH3627 by dayH3119 in their sightH5869, as stuffH3627 for removingH1473: and thou shalt go forthH3318 at evenH6153 in their sightH5869, as they that go forthH4161 into captivityH1473. {as they…: Heb. as the goings forth of captivity}
DigH2864 thou through the wallH7023 in their sightH5869, and carry outH3318 thereby. {Dig…: Heb. Dig for thee}
In their sightH5869 shalt thou bearH5375 it upon thy shouldersH3802, and carry it forthH3318 in the twilightH5939: thou shalt coverH3680 thy faceH6440, that thou seeH7200 not the groundH776: for I have setH5414 thee for a signH4159 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
And I didH6213 so as I was commandedH6680: I brought forthH3318 my stuffH3627 by dayH3119, as stuffH3627 for captivityH1473, and in the evenH6153 I diggedH2864 through the wallH7023 with mine handH3027; I brought it forthH3318 in the twilightH5939, and I bareH5375 it upon my shoulderH3802 in their sightH5869. {digged: Heb. digged for me}
And in the morningH1242 came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, hath not the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, saidH559 unto thee, What doestH6213 thou?
SayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; This burdenH4853 concerneth the princeH5387 in JerusalemH3389, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that are amongH8432 them.
SayH559, I am your signH4159: like as I have doneH6213, so shall it be doneH6213 unto them: they shall removeH1473 and goH3212 into captivityH7628. {they…: Heb. by removing go into captivity}
And the princeH5387 that is amongH8432 them shall bearH5375 upon his shoulderH3802 in the twilightH5939, and shall go forthH3318: they shall digH2864 through the wallH7023 to carry outH3318 thereby: he shall coverH3680 his faceH6440, thatH3282 he seeH7200 not the groundH776 with his eyesH5869.
My netH7568 also will I spreadH6566 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686: and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 to the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet shall he not seeH7200 it, though he shall dieH4191 there.
And I will scatterH2219 toward every windH7307 all that are aboutH5439 him to helpH5828 him, and all his bandsH102; and I will draw outH7324 the swordH2719 afterH310 them.
And they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall scatterH6327 them among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 them in the countriesH776.
But I will leaveH3498 a fewH4557 menH582 of them from the swordH2719, from the famineH7458, and from the pestilenceH1698; that they may declareH5608 all their abominationsH8441 among the heathenH1471 whither they comeH935; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a few…: Heb. men of number}
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with quakingH7494, and drinkH8354 thy waterH4325 with tremblingH7269 and with carefulnessH1674;
And sayH559 unto the peopleH5971 of the landH127, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and of the landH776 of IsraelH3478; They shall eatH398 their breadH3899 with carefulnessH1674, and drinkH8354 their waterH4325 with astonishmentH8078, that her landH776 may be desolateH3456 from all that is thereinH4393, because of the violenceH2555 of all them that dwellH3427 therein. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
And the citiesH5892 that are inhabitedH3427 shall be laid wasteH2717, and the landH776 shall be desolateH8077; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Also the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I take awayH3947 from thee the desireH4261 of thine eyesH5869 with a strokeH4046: yet neither shalt thou mournH5594 nor weepH1058, neither shall thy tearsH1832 run downH935. {run down: Heb. go}
ForbearH1826 to cryH602, makeH6213 no mourningH60 for the deadH4191, bindH2280 the tire of thine headH6287 upon thee, and put onH7760 thy shoesH5275 upon thy feetH7272, and coverH5844 not thy lipsH8222, and eatH398 not the breadH3899 of menH582. {Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}
So I spakeH1696 unto the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242: and at evenH6153 my wifeH802 diedH4191; and I didH6213 in the morningH1242 as I was commandedH6680.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto me, Wilt thou not tellH5046 us what these things are to us, that thou doestH6213 so?
Then I answeredH559 them, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will profaneH2490 my sanctuaryH4720, the excellencyH1347 of your strengthH5797, the desireH4261 of your eyesH5869, and that which your soulH5315 pitiethH4263; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 whom ye have leftH5800 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {that…: Heb. the pity of your soul}
And ye shall doH6213 as I have doneH6213: ye shall not coverH5844 your lipsH8222, nor eatH398 the breadH3899 of menH582.
And your tiresH6287 shall be upon your headsH7218, and your shoesH5275 upon your feetH7272: ye shall not mournH5594 nor weepH1058; but ye shall pine awayH4743 for your iniquitiesH5771, and mournH5098 oneH376 toward anotherH251.
Thus EzekielH3168 is unto you a signH4159: according to all that he hath doneH6213 shall ye doH6213: and when this comethH935, ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
Moreover, thou sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee oneH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JudahH3063, and for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270: then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669, and for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270:
And joinH7126 them oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086; and they shall become oneH259 in thine handH3027.
And when the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 shall speakH559 unto thee, sayingH559, Wilt thou not shewH5046 us what thou meanest by these?
SayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, which is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 his fellowsH2270, and will putH5414 them with him, even with the stickH6086 of JudahH3063, and makeH6213 them oneH259 stickH6086, and they shall be oneH259 in mine handH3027.
And the sticksH6086 whereon thou writestH3789 shall be in thine handH3027 before their eyesH5869.
And sayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the heathenH1471, whither they be goneH1980, and will gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439, and bringH935 them into their own landH127:
And I will makeH6213 them oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and oneH259 kingH4428 shall be kingH4428 to them all: and they shall beH5750 no more twoH8147 nationsH1471, neither shall they be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467 any more at all:
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.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, there were twoH8147 womenH802, the daughtersH1323 of oneH259 motherH517:
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And the namesH8034 of them were AholahH170 the elderH1419, and AholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they were mine, and they bareH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. Thus were their namesH8034; SamariaH8111 is AholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 AholibahH172. {Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}
And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,
Which were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
Thus she committedH5414 her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenH4005 menH1121 of AssyriaH804, and with all on whom she dotedH5689: with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself. {committed…: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen…: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}
Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
Wherefore I have deliveredH5414 her into the handH3027 of her loversH157, into the handH3027 of the AssyriansH1121+H804, upon whom she dotedH5689.
These discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, and slewH2026 her with the swordH2719: and she became famousH8034 among womenH802; for they had executedH6213 judgmentH8196 upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}
And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200 this, she was more corruptH7843 in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in her whoredomsH2183. {she was…: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than…: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}
She dotedH5689 upon the AssyriansH1121+H804 her neighboursH7138, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847 most gorgeouslyH4358, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970.
Then I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930, that they took bothH8147 oneH259 wayH1870,
And that she increasedH3254 her whoredomsH8457: for when she sawH7200 menH582 pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350,
GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loinsH4975, exceedingH5628 in dyed attireH2871 upon their headsH7218, all of them princesH7991 to look toH4758, after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH1121+H894 of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativityH4138:
And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyesH5869, she dotedH5689 upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778. {as soon…: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}
And the BabyloniansH1121+H894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredomH8457, and she was pollutedH2930 with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}
So she discoveredH1540 her whoredomsH8457, and discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361 from her sisterH269.
Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
For she dotedH5689 upon their paramoursH6370, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of assesH2543, and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.
Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485 the lewdnessH2154 of thy youthH5271, in bruisingH6213 thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
Therefore, O AholibahH172, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will raise upH5782 thy loversH157 against thee, from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361, and I will bringH935 them against thee on every sideH5439;
The BabyloniansH1121+H894, and all the ChaldeansH3778, PekodH6489, and ShoaH7772, and KoaH6970, and all the AssyriansH1121+H804 with them: all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, great lordsH7991 and renownedH7121, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
And they shall comeH935 against thee with chariotsH2021, wagonsH7393, and wheelsH1534, and with an assemblyH6951 of peopleH5971, which shall setH7760 against thee bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 round aboutH5439: and I will setH5414 judgmentH4941 beforeH6440 them, and they shall judgeH8199 thee according to their judgmentsH4941.
And I will setH5414 my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall dealH6213 furiouslyH2534 with thee: they shall take awayH5493 thy noseH639 and thine earsH241; and thy remnantH319 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: they shall takeH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323; and thy residueH319 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784.
They shall also stripH6584 thee out of thy clothesH899, and take awayH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627. {fair…: Heb. instruments of thy decking}
Thus will I make thy lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 from thee, and thy whoredomH2184 brought from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: so that thou shalt not lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 any more.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them whom thou hatestH8130, into the handH3027 of them from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361:
And they shall dealH6213 with thee hatefullyH8135, and shall take awayH3947 all thy labourH3018, and shall leaveH5800 thee nakedH5903 and bareH6181: and the nakednessH6172 of thy whoredomsH2183 shall be discoveredH1540, both thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
I will doH6213 these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoringH2181 afterH310 the heathenH1471, and because thou art pollutedH2930 with their idolsH1544.
Thou hast walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of thy sisterH269; therefore will I giveH5414 her cupH3563 into thine handH3027.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Thou shalt drinkH8354 of thy sister'sH269 cupH3563 deepH6013 and largeH7342: thou shalt be laughed to scornH6712 and had in derisionH3933; it containethH3557 muchH4767.
Thou shalt be filledH4390 with drunkennessH7943 and sorrowH3015, with the cupH3563 of astonishmentH8047 and desolationH8077, with the cupH3563 of thy sisterH269 SamariaH8111.
Thou shalt even drinkH8354 it and suck it outH4680, and thou shalt breakH1633 the sherdsH2789 thereof, and pluck offH5423 thine own breastsH7699: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and castH7993 me behindH310 thy backH1458, therefore bearH5375 thou also thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredomsH8457.
The LORDH3068 saidH559 moreover unto me; SonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 AholahH170 and AholibahH172? yea, declareH5046 unto them their abominationsH8441; {judge: or, plead for}
That they have committed adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027, and with their idolsH1544 have they committed adulteryH5003, and have also caused their sonsH1121, whom they bareH3205 unto me, to pass for them throughH5674 the fire, to devourH402 them.
Moreover this they have doneH6213 unto me: they have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 in the same dayH3117, and have profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
For when they had slainH7819 their childrenH1121 to their idolsH1544, then they cameH935 the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it; and, lo, thus have they doneH6213 in the midstH8432 of mine houseH1004.
And furthermoreH637, that ye have sentH7971 for menH582 to comeH935 from farH4801, unto whom a messengerH4397 was sentH7971; and, lo, they cameH935: for whom thou didst washH7364 thyself, paintedstH3583 thy eyesH5869, and deckedstH5710 thyself with ornamentsH5716, {to come: Heb. coming}
And satestH3427 upon a statelyH3520 bedH4296, and a tableH7979 preparedH6186 beforeH6440 it, whereupon thou hast setH7760 mine incenseH7004 and mine oilH8081. {stately: Heb. honourable}
And a voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995 being at easeH7961 was with her: and with the menH582 of the common sortH7230+H120 were broughtH935 SabeansH5436+H5433 from the wildernessH4057, which putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon their handsH3027, and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 upon their headsH7218. {of the…: Heb. of the multitude of men} {Sabeans: or, drunkards}
Then saidH559 I unto her that was oldH1087 in adulteriesH5004, Will they now commitH2181 whoredomsH8457 with her, and she with them? {whoredoms…: Heb. her whoredoms}
Yet they went inH935 unto her, as they go inH935 unto a womanH802 that playeth the harlotH2181: so went they inH935 unto AholahH170 and unto AholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802.
And the righteousH6662 menH582, they shall judgeH8199 them after the mannerH4941 of adulteressesH5003, and after the mannerH4941 of women that shedH8210 bloodH1818; because they are adulteressesH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will bring upH5927 a companyH6951 upon them, and will giveH5414 them to be removedH2189 and spoiledH957. {to be…: Heb. for a removing and spoil}
And the companyH6951 shall stoneH7275 them with stonesH68, and dispatchH1254 them with their swordsH2719; they shall slayH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, and burn upH8313 their housesH1004 with fireH784. {dispatch…: or, single them out}
Thus will I cause lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776, that all womenH802 may be taughtH3256 not to doH6213 after your lewdnessH2154.
And they shall recompenseH5414 your lewdnessH2154 upon you, and ye shall bearH5375 the sinsH2399 of your idolsH1544: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
SpeakH1696, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, the greatH1419 dragonH8577 that liethH7257 in the midstH8432 of his riversH2975, which hath saidH559, My riverH2975 is mine own, and I have madeH6213 it for myself.
But I will putH5414 hooksH2397+H2397 in thy jawsH3895, and I will cause the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975 to stickH1692 unto thy scalesH7193, and I will bring thee upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of thy riversH2975, and all the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975 shall stickH1692 unto thy scalesH7193.
And I will leaveH5203 thee thrown into the wildernessH4057, thee and all the fishH1710 of thy riversH2975: thou shalt fallH5307 upon the openH6440 fieldsH7704; thou shalt not be brought togetherH622, nor gatheredH6908: I have givenH5414 thee for meatH402 to the beastsH2416 of the fieldH776 and to the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064. {open…: Heb. face of the field}
And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, because they have been a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
When they took holdH8610 of thee by thy handH3709, thou didst breakH7533, and rendH1234 all their shoulderH3802: and when they leanedH8172 upon thee, thou brakestH7665, and madest all their loinsH4975 to be at a standH5976.
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 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, 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.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 toward JerusalemH3389, and dropH5197 thy word toward the holy placesH4720, and prophesyH5012 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478,
And sayH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593, and will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563.
SeeingH3282 then that I will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, therefore shall my swordH2719 go forthH3318 out of his sheathH8593 against all fleshH1320 from the southH5045 to the northH6828:
That all fleshH1320 may knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have drawn forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593: it shall not returnH7725 any more.
SighH584 therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, with the breakingH7670 of thy loinsH4975; and with bitternessH4814 sighH584 before their eyesH5869.
And it shall be, when they sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore sighestH584 thou? that thou shalt answerH559, For the tidingsH8052; because it comethH935: and every heartH3820 shall meltH4549, and all handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and every spiritH7307 shall faintH3543, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325: behold, it comethH935, and shall be brought to passH1961, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {shall be weak…: Heb. shall go into water}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SayH559, A swordH2719, a swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and also furbishedH4803:
It is sharpenedH2300 to make a soreH2874 slaughterH2873; it is furbishedH4178 that it may glitterH1300: shouldH176 we then make mirthH7797? it contemnethH3988 the rodH7626 of my sonH1121, as every treeH6086. {it contemneth…: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}
Again in the ninthH8671 yearH8141, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, writeH3789 thee the nameH8034 of the dayH3117, even of this sameH6106 dayH3117: the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 setH5564 himself against JerusalemH3389 this sameH6106 dayH3117.
And utterH4911 a parableH4912 unto the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Set onH8239 a potH5518, set it onH8239, and also pourH3332 waterH4325 into it:
GatherH622 the piecesH5409 thereof into it, even every goodH2896 pieceH5409, the thighH3409, and the shoulderH3802; fillH4390 it with the choiceH4005 bonesH6106.
TakeH3947 the choiceH4005 of the flockH6629, and burnH1754 also the bonesH6106 under it, and make it boilH7570 wellH7571, and let them seetheH1310 the bonesH6106 of it thereinH8432. {burn: or, heap}
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892, to the potH5518 whose scumH2457 is therein, and whose scumH2457 is not gone outH3318 of it! bring it outH3318 pieceH5409 by pieceH5409; let no lotH1486 fallH5307 upon it.
For her bloodH1818 is in the midstH8432 of her; she setH7760 it upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553; she pouredH8210 it not upon the groundH776, to coverH3680 it with dustH6083;
That it might cause furyH2534 to come upH5927 to takeH5358 vengeanceH5359; I have setH5414 her bloodH1818 upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553, that it should not be coveredH3680.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! I will even make the pileH4071 for fire greatH1431.
HeapH7235 on woodH6086, kindleH1814 the fireH784, consumeH8552 the fleshH1320, and spiceH7543 it wellH4841, and let the bonesH6106 be burnedH2787.
Then setH5975 it emptyH7386 upon the coalsH1513 thereof, that the brassH5178 of it may be hotH3179, and may burnH2787, and that the filthinessH2932 of it may be moltenH5413 in itH8432, that the scumH2457 of it may be consumedH8552.
She hath weariedH3811 herself with liesH8383, and her greatH7227 scumH2457 went not forthH3318 out of her: her scumH2457 shall be in the fireH784.
In thy filthinessH2932 is lewdnessH2154: because I have purgedH2891 thee, and thou wast not purgedH2891, thou shalt not be purgedH2891 from thy filthinessH2932 any more, till I have caused my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon thee.
I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it: it shall come to passH935, and I will doH6213 it; I will not go backH6544, neither will I spareH2347, neither will I repentH5162; according to thy waysH1870, and according to thy doingsH5949, shall they judgeH8199 thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
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.
Shall I cause it to returnH7725 into his sheathH8593? I will judgeH8199 thee in the placeH4725 where thou wast createdH1254, in the landH776 of thy nativityH4351. {Shall…: or, Cause it to return}
And I will pour outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon thee, I will blowH6315 against thee in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of brutishH1197 menH582, and skilfulH2796 to destroyH4889. {brutish: or, burning}
Thou shalt be for fuelH402 to the fireH784; thy bloodH1818 shall be in the midstH8432 of the landH776; thou shalt be no more rememberedH2142: for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
And I will set upH6965 oneH259 shepherdH7462 over them, and he shall feedH7462 them, even my servantH5650 DavidH1732; he shall feedH7462 them, and he shall be their shepherdH7462.
And I the LORDH3068 will be their GodH430, and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 a princeH5387 amongH8432 them; I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
And I will makeH3772 with them a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965, and will cause the evilH7451 beastsH2416 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776: and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 in the wildernessH4057, and sleepH3462 in the woodsH3293+H3264.
And I will makeH5414 them and the places round aboutH5439 my hillH1389 a blessingH1293; and I will cause the showerH1653 to come downH3381 in his seasonH6256; there shall be showersH1653 of blessingH1293.
And the treeH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall yieldH5414 her fruitH6529, and the earthH776 shall yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, and they shall be safeH983 in their landH127, and shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have brokenH7665 the bandsH4133 of their yokeH5923, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of those that servedH5647 themselves of them.
And they shall no more be a preyH957 to the heathenH1471, neither shall the beastH2416 of the landH776 devourH398 them; but they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
And I will raise upH6965 for them a plantH4302 of renownH8034, and they shall be no more consumedH622 with hungerH7458 in the landH776, neither bearH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more. {of renown: or, for renown} {consumed: Heb. taken away}
Thus shall they knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 their GodH430 am with them, and that they, even the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, are my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will makeH6213 them oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and oneH259 kingH4428 shall be kingH4428 to them all: and they shall beH5750 no more twoH8147 nationsH1471, neither shall they be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467 any more at all:
Neither shall they defileH2930 themselves any more with their idolsH1544, nor with their detestable thingsH8251, nor with any of their transgressionsH6588: but I will saveH3467 them out of all their dwellingplacesH4186, wherein they have sinnedH2398, and will cleanseH2891 them: so shall they be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430.
And DavidH1732 my servantH5650 shall be kingH4428 over them; and they all shall have oneH259 shepherdH7462: they shall also walkH3212 in my judgmentsH4941, and observeH8104 my statutesH2708, and doH6213 them.
And they shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I have givenH5414 unto JacobH3290 my servantH5650, wherein your fathersH1 have dweltH3427; and they shall dwellH3427 therein, even they, and their childrenH1121, and their children'sH1121 childrenH1121 for everH5769: and my servantH5650 DavidH1732 shall be their princeH5387 forH5704 everH5769.
Moreover I will makeH3772 a covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 with them; it shall be an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them: and I will placeH5414 them, and multiplyH7235 them, and will setH5414 my sanctuaryH4720 in the midstH8432 of them for evermoreH5769.
My tabernacleH4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 IsraelH3478, when my sanctuaryH4720 shall be in the midstH8432 of them for evermoreH5769.
Moreover take thou upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478,
And sayH559, What is thy motherH517? A lionessH3833: she lay downH7257 among lionsH738, she nourishedH7235 her whelpsH1482 amongH8432 young lionsH3715.
And she brought upH5927 oneH259 of her whelpsH1482: it became a young lionH3715, and it learnedH3925 to catchH2963 the preyH2964; it devouredH398 menH120.
The nationsH1471 also heardH8085 of him; he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845, and they broughtH935 him with chainsH2397 unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Now when she sawH7200 that she had waitedH3176, and her hopeH8615 was lostH6, then she tookH3947 anotherH259 of her whelpsH1482, and madeH7760 him a young lionH3715.
And he went up and downH1980 amongH8432 the lionsH738, he became a young lionH3715, and learnedH3925 to catchH2963 the preyH2964, and devouredH398 menH120.
And he knewH3045 their desolate palacesH490, and he laid wasteH2717 their citiesH5892; and the landH776 was desolateH3456, and the fulnessH4393 thereof, by the noiseH6963 of his roaringH7581. {their desolate…: or, their widows} {the fulness…: or, all it containeth}
Then the nationsH1471 setH5414 against him on every sideH5439 from the provincesH4082, and spreadH6566 their netH7568 over him: he was takenH8610 in their pitH7845.
And they putH5414 him in wardH5474 in chainsH2397, and broughtH935 him to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: they broughtH935 him into holdsH4685, that his voiceH6963 should no more be heardH8085 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. {in chains: or, in hooks}
And it came to pass in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141, in the twelfth monthH2320, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559 unto him, Thou art likeH1819 a young lionH3715 of the nationsH1471, and thou art as a whaleH8577+H8565 in the seasH3220: and thou camest forthH1518 with thy riversH5104, and troubledstH1804 the watersH4325 with thy feetH7272, and fouledstH7515 their riversH5104. {whale: or, dragon}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will therefore spread outH6566 my netH7568 over thee with a companyH6951 of manyH7227 peopleH5971; and they shall bring thee upH5927 in my netH2764.
Then will I leaveH5203 thee upon the landH776, I will cast thee forthH2904 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704, and will cause all the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 to remainH7931 upon thee, and I will fillH7646 the beastsH2416 of the whole earthH776 with thee.
And I will layH5414 thy fleshH1320 upon the mountainsH2022, and fillH4390 the valleysH1516 with thy heightH7419.
I will also waterH8248 with thy bloodH1818 the landH776 wherein thou swimmestH6824, even to the mountainsH2022; and the riversH650 shall be fullH4390 of thee. {the land wherein…: or, the land of thy swimming}
And when I shall put thee outH3518, I will coverH3680 the heavenH8064, and makeH6937 the starsH3556 thereof darkH6937; I will coverH3680 the sunH8121 with a cloudH6051, and the moonH3394 shall not giveH215 her lightH216. {put…: or, extinguish thee}
All the brightH3974 lightsH216 of heavenH8064 will I make darkH6937 over thee, and setH5414 darknessH2822 upon thy landH776, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bright…: Heb. lights of the light in heaven} {dark: Heb. them dark}
I will also vexH3707 the heartsH3820 of manyH7227 peopleH5971, when I shall bringH935 thy destructionH7667 among the nationsH1471, into the countriesH776 which thou hast not knownH3045. {vex: Heb. provoke to anger, or, grief}
Yea, I will make manyH7227 peopleH5971 amazedH8074 at thee, and their kingsH4428 shall be horriblyH8178 afraidH8175 for thee, when I shall brandishH5774 my swordH2719 before themH6440; and they shall trembleH2729 at every momentH7281, every manH376 for his own lifeH5315, in the dayH3117 of thy fallH4658.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; The swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall comeH935 upon thee.
By the swordsH2719 of the mightyH1368 will I cause thy multitudeH1995 to fallH5307, the terribleH6184 of the nationsH1471, all of them: and they shall spoilH7703 the pompH1347 of EgyptH4714, and all the multitudeH1995 thereof shall be destroyedH8045.
I will destroyH6 also all the beastsH929 thereof fromH5921 beside the greatH7227 watersH4325; neither shall the footH7272 of manH120 troubleH1804 them any more, nor the hoofsH6541 of beastsH929 troubleH1804 them.
Then will I make their watersH4325 deepH8257, and cause their riversH5104 to runH3212 like oilH8081, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
When I shall makeH5414 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 desolateH8077, and the countryH776 shall be destituteH8074 of that whereof it was fullH4393, when I shall smiteH5221 all them that dwellH3427 therein, then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {destitute…: Heb. desolate from the fulness thereof}
This is the lamentationH7015 wherewith they shall lamentH6969 her: the daughtersH1323 of the nationsH1471 shall lamentH6969 her: they shall lamentH6969 for her, even for EgyptH4714, and for all her multitudeH1995, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
It came to pass also in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141, in the fifteenthH2568+H6240 day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, wailH5091 for the multitudeH1995 of EgyptH4714, and cast them downH3381, even her, and the daughtersH1323 of the famousH117 nationsH1471, unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, with them that go downH3381 into the pitH953.
Whom dost thou pass in beautyH5276? go downH3381, and be thou laidH7901 with the uncircumcisedH6189.
They shall fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of them that are slainH2491 by the swordH2719: she is deliveredH5414 to the swordH2719: drawH4900 her and all her multitudesH1995. {she…: or, the sword is laid}
