Then saidH559 God, CallH7121 his nameH8034 LoammiH3818: for ye are not my peopleH5971, and I will not be your God. {Loammi: that is, Not my people}
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall abideH3427 manyH7227 daysH3117 without a kingH4428, and without a princeH8269, and without a sacrificeH2077, and without an imageH4676, and without an ephodH646, and without teraphimH8655: {image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar}
For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as corn is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
ButG235 theirG846 mindsG3540 were blindedG4456: forG1063 untilG891 this dayG4594 remainethG3306 the sameG846 vailG2571 untakenG3361 awayG343 inG1909 the readingG320 of the oldG3820 testamentG1242; whichG3748 vail is done awayG2673 inG1722 ChristG5547.
ButG235 evenG2193 unto this dayG4594, whenG2259 MosesG3475 is readG314, the vailG2571 is uponG2749+G1909 theirG846 heartG2588.
When the LordH136 shall have washed awayH7364 the filthH6675 of the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and shall have purgedH1740 the bloodH1818 of JerusalemH3389 from the midstH7130 thereof by the spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941, and by the spiritH7307 of burningH1197.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, As the new wineH8492 is foundH4672 in the clusterH811, and one saithH559, DestroyH7843 it not; for a blessingH1293 is in it: so will I doH6213 for my servants'H5650 sakes, that I may not destroyH7843 them all.
And I will bring forthH3318 a seedH2233 out of JacobH3290, and out of JudahH3063 an inheritorH3423 of my mountainsH2022: and mine electH972 shall inheritH3423 it, and my servantsH5650 shall dwellH7931 there.
And SharonH8289 shall be a foldH5116 of flocksH6629, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 a place for the herdsH1241 to lie down inH7258, for my peopleH5971 that have soughtH1875 me.
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
In those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall comeH935, they and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 togetherH3162, goingH1980 and weepingH1058: they shall goH3212, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
They shall askH7592 the wayH1870 to ZionH6726 with their facesH6440 thitherwardH2008, saying, ComeH935, and let us joinH3867 ourselves to the LORDH3068 in a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285 that shall not be forgottenH7911.
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
WoeH1945 be unto the pastorsH7462 that destroyH6 and scatterH6327 the sheepH6629 of my pastureH4830! saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 against the pastorsH7462 that feedH7462 my peopleH5971; Ye have scatteredH6327 my flockH6629, and driven them awayH5080, and have not visitedH6485 them: behold, I will visitH6485 upon you the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And I will gatherH6908 the remnantH7611 of my flockH6629 out of all countriesH776 whither I have drivenH5080 them, and will bring them againH7725 to their foldsH5116; and they shall be fruitfulH6509 and increaseH7235.
And I will set upH6965 shepherdsH7462 over them which shall feedH7462 them: and they shall fearH3372 no more, nor be dismayedH2865, neither shall they be lackingH6485, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that they shall no more sayH559, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714;
But, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927 and which ledH935 the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 out of the northH6828 countryH776, and from all countriesH776 whither I had drivenH5080 them; and they shall dwellH3427 in their own landH127.
Mine heartH3820 withinH7130 me is brokenH7665 because of the prophetsH5030; all my bonesH6106 shakeH7363; I am like a drunkenH7910 manH376, and like a manH1397 whom wineH3196 hath overcomeH5674, becauseH6440 of the LORDH3068, and because of the wordsH1697 of his holinessH6944.
For the landH776 is fullH4390 of adulterersH5003; for becauseH6440 of swearingH423 the landH776 mournethH56; the pleasant placesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 are dried upH3001, and their courseH4794 is evilH7451, and their forceH1369 is not right. {swearing: or, cursing} {course: or, violence}
For both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profaneH2610; yea, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672 their wickednessH7451, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Wherefore their wayH1870 shall be unto them as slipperyH2519 ways in the darknessH653: they shall be driven onH1760, and fallH5307 therein: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, even the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And I have seenH7200 follyH8604 in the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111; they prophesiedH5012 in BaalH1168, and caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to errH8582. {folly: or, an absurd thing: Heb. unsavoury}
I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. {an…: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, HearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you: they make you vainH1891: they speakH1696 a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not out of the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
They sayH559 stillH559 unto them that despiseH5006 me, The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696, Ye shall have peaceH7965; and they sayH559 unto every one that walkethH1980 after the imaginationH8307 of his own heartH3820, No evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon you. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
For who hath stoodH5975 in the counselH5475 of the LORDH3068, and hath perceivedH7200 and heardH8085 his wordH1697? who hath markedH7181 his wordH1697, and heardH8085 it? {counsel: or, secret}
Behold, a whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 is gone forthH3318 in furyH2534, even a grievousH2342 whirlwindH5591: it shall fall grievouslyH2342 upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563.
The angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he have executedH6213, and till he have performedH6965 the thoughtsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it perfectlyH998.
I have not sentH7971 these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323: I have not spokenH1696 to them, yet they prophesiedH5012.
But if they had stoodH5975 in my counselH5475, and had caused my peopleH5971 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697, then they should have turnedH7725 them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.
Am I a GodH430 at handH7138, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and not a GodH430 afar offH7350?
Can anyH376 hideH5641 himself in secret placesH4565 that I shall not seeH7200 him? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Do not I fillH4392 heavenH8064 and earthH776? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I have heardH8085 what the prophetsH5030 saidH559, that prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559, I have dreamedH2492, I have dreamedH2492.
How long shall this beH3426 in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 liesH8267? yea, they are prophetsH5030 of the deceitH8649 of their own heartH3820;
Which thinkH2803 to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911 my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tellH5608 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, as their fathersH1 have forgottenH7911 my nameH8034 for BaalH1168.
The prophetH5030 that hath a dreamH2472, let him tellH5608 a dreamH2472; and he that hath my wordH1697, let him speakH1696 my wordH1697 faithfullyH571. What is the chaffH8401 to the wheatH1250? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc}
Is not my wordH1697 likeH3541 as a fireH784? saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and like a hammerH6360 that breakethH6327 the rockH5553 in piecesH6327?
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that stealH1589 my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighbourH7453.
Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that useH3947 their tonguesH3956, and sayH5001, He saithH5002. {that…: or, that smooth their tongues}
Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012 falseH8267 dreamsH2472, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and do tellH5608 them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582 by their liesH8267, and by their lightnessH6350; yet I sentH7971 them not, nor commandedH6680 them: therefore they shall not profitH3276 this peopleH5971 at allH3276, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592 thee, sayingH559, What is the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068? thou shalt then sayH559 unto them, What burdenH4853? I will even forsakeH5203 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, I will even punishH6485 that manH376 and his houseH1004. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Thus shall ye sayH559 every oneH376 to his neighbourH7453, and every oneH376 to his brotherH251, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142 no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015 the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430.
Thus shalt thou sayH559 to the prophetH5030, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 thee? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
ButH518 since ye sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068; therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Because ye sayH559 this wordH1697, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, and I have sentH7971 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not sayH559, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068;
Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterlyH5377 forgetH5382 you, and I will forsakeH5203 you, and the cityH5892 that I gaveH5414 you and your fathersH1, and cast you out of my presenceH6440:
And I will bringH5414 an everlastingH5769 reproachH2781 upon you, and a perpetualH5769 shameH3640, which shall not be forgottenH7911.
Run ye to and froH7751 through the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, and seeH7200 now, and knowH3045, and seekH1245 in the broad placesH7339 thereof, if ye can findH4672 a manH376, if there beH3426 any that executethH6213 judgmentH4941, that seekethH1245 the truthH530; and I will pardonH5545 it.
And though they sayH559, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; surely they swearH7650 falselyH8267.
O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they have not grievedH2342; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.
Therefore I saidH559, Surely these are poorH1800; they are foolishH2973: for they knowH3045 not the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, nor the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430.
I will getH3212 me unto the great menH1419, and will speakH1696 unto them; for they have knownH3045 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, and the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430: but these have altogetherH3162 brokenH7665 the yokeH5923, and burstH5423 the bondsH4147.
Wherefore a lionH738 out of the forestH3293 shall slayH5221 them, and a wolfH2061 of the eveningsH6160 shall spoilH7703 them, a leopardH5246 shall watchH8245 over their citiesH5892: every one that goeth outH3318 thence shallH2007 be torn in piecesH2963: because their transgressionsH6588 are manyH7231, and their backslidingsH4878 are increasedH6105. {evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}
HowH335 shall I pardonH5545 thee for thisH2063? thy childrenH1121 have forsakenH5800 me, and swornH7650 by them that are noH3808 godsH430: when I had fed them to the fullH7650, they then committed adulteryH5003, and assembled themselves by troopsH1413 in the harlots'H2181 housesH1004.
They were as fedH2109 horsesH5483 in the morningH7904: every oneH376 neighedH6670 after his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802.
Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
Go ye upH5927 upon her wallsH8284, and destroyH7843; but makeH6213 not a full endH3617: take awayH5493 her battlementsH5189; for they are not the LORD'SH3068.
For the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have dealt veryH898 treacherouslyH898 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They have beliedH3584 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, It is not he; neither shall evilH7451 comeH935 upon us; neither shall we seeH7200 swordH2719 nor famineH7458:
And the prophetsH5030 shall become windH7307, and the wordH1696 is not in them: thus shall it be doneH6213 unto them.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, Because ye speakH1696 this wordH1697, behold, I will makeH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310 fireH784, and this peopleH5971 woodH6086, and it shall devourH398 them.
Lo, I will bringH935 a nationH1471 upon you from farH4801, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: it is a mightyH386 nationH1471, it is an ancientH5769 nationH1471, a nationH1471 whose languageH3956 thou knowestH3045 not, neither understandestH8085 what they sayH1696.
Their quiverH827 is as an openH6605 sepulchreH6913, they are all mighty menH1368.
And they shall eat upH398 thine harvestH7105, and thy breadH3899, which thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 should eatH398: they shall eat upH398 thy flocksH6629 and thine herdsH1241: they shall eat upH398 thy vinesH1612 and thy fig treesH8384: they shall impoverishH7567 thy fencedH4013 citiesH5892, wherein thouH2007 trustedstH982, with the swordH2719.
Nevertheless in those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 with you.
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayH559, WhereforeH8478+H4100 doethH6213 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answerH559 them, Like as ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430 in your landH776, so shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is not yours.
DeclareH5046 this in the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and publishH8085 it in JudahH3063, sayingH559,
HearH8085 now this, O foolishH5530 peopleH5971, and without understandingH3820; which have eyesH5869, and seeH7200 not; which have earsH241, and hearH8085 not: {understanding: Heb. heart}
FearH3372 ye not me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: will ye not trembleH2342 at my presenceH6440, which have placedH7760 the sandH2344 for the boundH1366 of the seaH3220 by a perpetualH5769 decreeH2706, that it cannot passH5674 it: and though the wavesH1530 thereof tossH1607 themselves, yet can they not prevailH3201; though they roarH1993, yet can they not pass overH5674 it?
But this peopleH5971 hath a revoltingH5637 and a rebelliousH4784 heartH3820; they are revoltedH5493 and goneH3212.
Neither sayH559 they in their heartH3824, Let us now fearH3372 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that givethH5414 rainH1653, both the formerH3138 and the latterH4456, in his seasonH6256: he reservethH8104 unto us the appointedH2708 weeksH7620 of the harvestH7105.
Your iniquitiesH5771 have turned awayH5186 these things, and your sinsH2403 have withholdenH4513 goodH2896 things from you.
For among my peopleH5971 are foundH4672 wickedH7563 men: they lay waitH7789, as he that settethH7918 snaresH3353; they setH5324 a trapH4889, they catchH3920 menH582. {they lay…: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}
As a cageH3619 is fullH4392 of birdsH5775, so are their housesH1004 fullH4392 of deceitH4820: therefore they are become greatH1431, and waxen richH6238. {cage: or, coop}
They are waxen fatH8080, they shineH6245: yea, they overpassH5674 the deedsH1697 of the wickedH7451: they judgeH1777 not the causeH1779, the cause of the fatherlessH3490, yet they prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they not judgeH8199.
Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
A wonderfulH8047 and horrible thingH8186 is committedH1961 in the landH776; {A wonderful…: or, Astonishment and filthiness}
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
O ye childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, gather yourselves to fleeH5756 out of the midstH7130 of JerusalemH3389, and blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in TekoaH8620, and set upH5375 a signH4864 of fire in BethhacceremH1021: for evilH7451 appearethH8259 out of the northH6828, and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
I have likenedH1820 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 to a comelyH5116 and delicateH6026 woman. {comely: or, dwelling at home}
The shepherdsH7462 with their flocksH5739 shall comeH935 unto her; they shall pitchH8628 their tentsH168 against her round aboutH5439; they shall feedH7462 every oneH376 in his placeH3027.
PrepareH6942 ye warH4421 against her; ariseH6965, and let us go upH5927 at noonH6672. WoeH188 unto us! for the dayH3117 goeth awayH6437, for the shadowsH6752 of the eveningH6153 are stretched outH5186.
AriseH6965, and let us goH5927 by nightH3915, and let us destroyH7843 her palacesH759.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 saidH559, Hew ye downH3772 treesH6097, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against JerusalemH3389: this is the cityH5892 to be visitedH6485; she is wholly oppressionH6233 in the midstH7130 of her. {cast…: or, pour out the engine of shot}
As a fountainH953 casteth outH6979 her watersH4325, so she casteth outH6979 her wickednessH7451: violenceH2555 and spoilH7701 is heardH8085 in her; before meH6440 continuallyH8548 is griefH2483 and woundsH4347.
Be thou instructedH3256, O JerusalemH3389, lest my soulH5315 departH3363 from thee; lest I makeH7760 thee desolateH8077, a landH776 not inhabitedH3427. {depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall throughlyH5953 gleanH5953 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 as a vineH1612: turn backH7725 thine handH3027 as a grapegathererH1219 into the basketsH5552.
To whom shall I speakH1696, and give warningH5749, that they may hearH8085? behold, their earH241 is uncircumcisedH6189, and they cannotH3201 hearkenH7181: behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is unto them a reproachH2781; they have no delightH2654 in it.
Therefore I am fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068; I am wearyH3811 with holding inH3557: I will pour it outH8210 upon the childrenH5768 abroadH2351, and upon the assemblyH5475 of young menH970 togetherH3162: for even the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be takenH3920, the agedH2205 with him that is fullH4390 of daysH3117.
And their housesH1004 shall be turnedH5437 unto othersH312, with their fieldsH7704 and wivesH802 togetherH3162: for I will stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For from the leastH6996 of them even unto the greatestH1419 of them every one is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215; and from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
They have healedH7495 also the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965. {hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}
Were they ashamedH3001 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nayH1571, they were not at allH954 ashamedH954, neitherH1571 couldH3045 they blushH3637: therefore they shall fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: at the timeH6256 that I visitH6485 them they shall be cast downH3782, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein.
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
Therefore hearH8085, ye nationsH1471, and knowH3045, O congregationH5712, what is among them.
HearH8085, O earthH776: behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, even the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, because they have not hearkenedH7181 unto my wordsH1697, nor to my lawH8451, but rejectedH3988 it.
To what purpose comethH935 there to me incenseH3828 from ShebaH7614, and the sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a farH4801 countryH776? your burnt offeringsH5930 are not acceptableH7522, nor your sacrificesH2077 sweetH6149 unto me.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will layH5414 stumblingblocksH4383 before this peopleH5971, and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall fallH3782 upon them; the neighbourH7934 and his friendH7453 shall perishH6.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, a peopleH5971 comethH935 from the northH6828 countryH776, and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be raisedH5782 from the sidesH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have no mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roarethH1993 like the seaH3220; and they rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, set in arrayH6186 as menH376 for warH4421 against thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726.
We have heardH8085 the fameH8089 thereof: our handsH3027 wax feebleH7503: anguishH6869 hath taken holdH2388 of us, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205.
Go not forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, nor walkH3212 by the wayH1870; for the swordH2719 of the enemyH341 and fearH4032 is on every sideH5439.
O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an only sonH3173, most bitterH8563 lamentationH4553: for the spoilerH7703 shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 upon us.
I have setH5414 thee for a towerH969 and a fortressH4013 among my peopleH5971, that thou mayest knowH3045 and tryH974 their wayH1870.
They are all grievousH5493 revoltersH5637, walkingH1980 with slandersH7400: they are brassH5178 and ironH1270; they are all corruptersH7843.
The bellowsH4647 are burnedH2787, the leadH5777 is consumedH8552 of the fireH800+H784; the founderH6884 meltethH6884 in vainH7723: for the wickedH7451 are not plucked awayH5423.
ReprobateH3988 silverH3701 shall men callH7121 them, because the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them. {Reprobate…: or, Refuse silver}
The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, WriteH3789 thee all the wordsH1697 that I have spokenH1696 unto thee in a bookH5612.
For, lo, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, saithH559 the LORDH3068: and I will cause them to returnH7725 to the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and they shall possessH3423 it.
And these are the wordsH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 concerning IsraelH3478 and concerning JudahH3063.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; We have heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of tremblingH2731, of fearH6343, and not of peaceH7965. {of fear…: or, there is fear, and not peace}
AskH7592 ye now, and seeH7200 whether a manH2145 doth travail with childH3205? wherefore do I seeH7200 every manH1397 with his handsH3027 on his loinsH2504, as a woman in travailH3205, and all facesH6440 are turnedH2015 into palenessH3420? {a man: Heb. a male}
AlasH1945! for that dayH3117 is greatH1419, so thatH369 none is like it: it is even the timeH6256 of Jacob'sH3290 troubleH6869; but he shall be savedH3467 out of it.
For it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that I will breakH7665 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677, and will burstH5423 thy bondsH4147, and strangersH2114 shall no more serveH5647 themselves of him:
But they shall serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and DavidH1732 their kingH4428, whom I will raise upH6965 unto them.
Therefore fearH3372 thou not, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; neither be dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, lo, I will saveH3467 thee from afarH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and shall be in restH8252, and be quietH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729.
For I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to saveH3467 thee: though I makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all nationsH1471 whither I have scatteredH6327 thee, yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee: but I will correctH3256 thee in measureH4941, and will not leave thee altogetherH5352 unpunishedH5352.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thy bruiseH7667 is incurableH605, and thy woundH4347 is grievousH2470.
There is none to pleadH1777 thy causeH1779, that thou mayest be bound upH4205: thou hast no healingH8585 medicinesH7499. {that…: Heb. for binding up, or, pressing}
All thy loversH157 have forgottenH7911 thee; they seekH1875 thee not; for I have woundedH5221 thee with the woundH4347 of an enemyH341, with the chastisementH4148 of a cruel oneH394, for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771; because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105.
Why criestH2199 thou for thine afflictionH7667? thy sorrowH4341 is incurableH605 for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771: because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105, I have doneH6213 these things unto thee.
Therefore all they that devourH398 thee shall be devouredH398; and all thine adversariesH6862, every one of them, shall goH3212 into captivityH7628; and they that spoilH7601+H8154 thee shall be a spoilH4933, and all that preyH962 upon thee will I giveH5414 for a preyH957.
For I will restoreH5927 healthH724 unto thee, and I will healH7495 thee of thy woundsH4347, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because they calledH7121 thee an OutcastH5080, saying, This is ZionH6726, whom no man seeketh afterH1875.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of Jacob'sH3290 tentsH168, and have mercyH7355 on his dwellingplacesH4908; and the cityH5892 shall be buildedH1129 upon her own heapH8510, and the palaceH759 shall remainH3427 after the mannerH4941 thereof. {heap: or, little hill}
And out of them shall proceedH3318 thanksgivingH8426 and the voiceH6963 of them that make merryH7832: and I will multiplyH7235 them, and they shall not be fewH4591; I will also glorifyH3513 them, and they shall not be smallH6819.
Their childrenH1121 also shall be as aforetimeH6924, and their congregationH5712 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 me, and I will punishH6485 all that oppressH3905 them.
And their noblesH117 shall be of themselves, and their governorH4910 shall proceedH3318 from the midstH7130 of them; and I will cause him to draw nearH7126, and he shall approachH5066 unto me: for who is this that engagedH6148 his heartH3820 to approachH5066 unto me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
Behold, the whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 goeth forthH3318 with furyH2534, a continuingH1641 whirlwindH5591: it shall fall with painH2342 upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563. {continuing: Heb. cutting} {fall…: or, remain}
The fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he have doneH6213 it, and until he have performedH6965 the intentsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will performH6965 that goodH2896 thingH1697 which I have promisedH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {David…: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
Neither shall the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 wantH3772 a manH376 beforeH6440 me to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to kindleH6999 meat offeringsH4503, and to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 continuallyH3117.
AfterwardH310 shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnH7725, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and DavidH1732 their kingH4428; and shall fearH6342 the LORDH3068 and his goodnessH2898 in the latterH319 daysH3117.
In the LORDH3068 shall all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 be justifiedH6663, and shall gloryH1984.
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG3844+G1700 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG266.
As concerningG2596+G3303 the gospelG2098, they are enemiesG2190 for your sakesG1223+G5209: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers'G3962 sakesG1223.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, thou that killestG615 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 stonestG3036 them which are sentG649 untoG4314 theeG846, how oftenG4212 would IG2309 have gatheredG1996 thyG4675+G3739 childrenG5043 togetherG1996, even asG5158 a henG3733 gatherethG1996 herG1438 chickensG3556 underG5259 her wingsG4420, andG2532 ye wouldG2309 notG3756!
BeholdG2400, yourG5216 houseG3624 is leftG863 unto youG5213 desolateG2048.
ForG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, Ye shallG1492 notG3364 seeG1492 meG3165 henceforthG575+G737, tillG2193+G302 ye shall sayG2036, BlessedG2127 is he that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962.
I will goH3212 and returnH7725 to my placeH4725, till they acknowledge their offenceH816, and seekH1245 my faceH6440: in their afflictionH6862 they will seek me earlyH7836. {acknowledge…: Heb. be guilty}
Thou shalt be visitedH6485 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 with thunderH7482, and with earthquakeH7494, and greatH1419 noiseH6963, with stormH5492 and tempestH5591, and the flameH3851 of devouringH398 fireH784.
And at that timeH6256 shall MichaelH4317 stand upH5975, the greatH1419 princeH8269 which standethH5975 for the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971: and there shall beH1961 a timeH6256 of troubleH6869, such as never was since there was a nationH1471 even to that same timeH6256: and at that timeH6256 thy peopleH5971 shall be deliveredH4422, every one that shall be foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612.
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.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 went outG1831, and departedG4198 fromG575 the templeG2411: andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to him for to shewG1925 himG846 the buildingsG3619 of the templeG2411.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, See yeG991 notG3756 allG3956 these thingsG5023? verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, There shallG863 notG3364 be leftG863 hereG5602 one stoneG3037 uponG1909 anotherG3037, thatG3739 shallG2647 notG3364 be thrown downG2647.
AndG1161 as heG846 satG2521 uponG1909 the mountG3735 of OlivesG1636, the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 unto himG846 privatelyG2596+G2398, sayingG3004, TellG2036 usG2254, whenG4219 shallG2071 these thingsG5023 beG2071? andG2532 whatG5101 shall be the signG4592 of thyG4674 comingG3952, andG2532 of the endG4930 of the worldG165?
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, Take heedG991 that noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG4105 youG5209.
ForG1063 manyG4183 shall comeG2064 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686, sayingG3004, IG1473 amG1510 ChristG5547; andG2532 shall deceiveG4105 manyG4183.
AndG1161 ye shallG3195 hearG191 of warsG4171 andG2532 rumoursG189 of warsG4171: seeG3708 that ye beG2360 notG3361 troubledG2360: forG1063 allG3956 these things mustG1163 come to passG1096, butG235 the endG5056 isG2076 not yetG3768.
ForG1063 nationG1484 shall riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932: andG2532 there shall beG2071 faminesG3042, andG2532 pestilencesG3061, andG2532 earthquakesG4578, in diversG2596 placesG5117.
AllG1161+G3956 theseG5023 are the beginningG746 of sorrowsG5604.
ThenG5119 shall they deliverG3860 youG5209 upG3860 toG1519 be afflictedG2347, andG2532 shall killG615 youG5209: andG2532 ye shall beG2071 hatedG3404 ofG5259 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1223 myG3450 name's sakeG3686.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall manyG4183 be offendedG4624, andG2532 shall betrayG3860 one anotherG240, andG2532 shall hateG3404 one anotherG240.
AndG2532 manyG4183 false prophetsG5578 shall riseG1453, andG2532 shall deceiveG4105 manyG4183.
AndG2532 becauseG1223 iniquityG458 shall aboundG4129, the loveG26 of manyG4183 shall wax coldG5594.
ButG1161 he that shall endureG5278 untoG1519 the endG5056, the sameG3778 shall be savedG4982.
AndG2532 thisG5124 gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 shall be preachedG2784 inG1722 allG3650 the worldG3625 forG1519 a witnessG3142 unto allG3956 nationsG1484; andG2532 thenG5119 shall the endG5056 comeG2240.
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
ThenG5119 let them which be inG1722 JudaeaG2449 fleeG5343 intoG1909 the mountainsG3735:
Let him which is onG1909 the housetopG1430 notG3361 come downG2597 to takeG142 any thingG5100 out ofG1537 hisG846 houseG3614:
NeitherG3361 let him which is inG1722 the fieldG68 returnG1994 backG3694 to takeG142 hisG846 clothesG2440.
AndG1161 woeG3759 unto them that areG2192 withG1722 childG1064, andG2532 to them that give suckG2337 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250!
ButG1161 pray yeG4336 thatG3363 yourG5216 flightG5437 beG1096 notG3363 in the winterG5494, neitherG3366 onG1722 the sabbath dayG4521:
ForG1063 thenG5119 shall beG2071 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, such asG3634 wasG1096 notG3756 sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 to thisG2193 timeG3568, noG3761, nor everG3364 shall beG1096.
AndG2532 exceptG1508 thoseG1565 daysG2250 should be shortenedG2856, thereG3756 shouldG302 noG3956 fleshG4561 be savedG4982: butG1161 forG1223 the elect's sakeG1588 thoseG1565 daysG2250 shall be shortenedG2856.
ThenG5119 ifG1437 any manG5100 shall sayG2036 unto youG5213, LoG2400, hereG5602 is ChristG5547, orG2228 thereG5602; believeG4100 it notG3361.
ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false ChristsG5580, andG2532 false prophetsG5578, andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059; insomuch thatG5620, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, they shall deceiveG4105 the veryG2532 electG1588.
BeholdG2400, I have toldG4280 youG5213 beforeG4280.
WhereforeG3767 ifG1437 they shall sayG2036 unto youG5213, BeholdG2400, he isG2076 inG1722 the desertG2048; goG1831 notG3361 forthG1831: beholdG2400, he is inG1722 the secret chambersG5009; believeG4100 it notG3361.
ForG1063 asG5618 the lightningG796 comethG1831 out ofG575 the eastG395, andG2532 shinethG5316 even untoG2193 the westG1424; soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ForG1063 wheresoeverG1437+G3699 the carcaseG4430 isG5600, thereG1563 willG4863 the eaglesG105 be gathered togetherG4863.
ImmediatelyG1161+G2112 afterG3326 the tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 shall the sunG2246 be darkenedG4654, andG2532 the moonG4582 shallG1325 notG3756 giveG1325 herG846 lightG5338, andG2532 the starsG792 shall fallG4098 fromG575 heavenG3772, andG2532 the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 shall be shakenG4531:
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall appearG5316 the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of manG444 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 thenG5119 shallG2875 allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 mournG2875, andG2532 they shall seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1909 the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 hisG846 angelsG32 withG3326 a greatG3173 soundG5456 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 they shall gather togetherG1996 hisG846 electG1588 fromG1537 the fourG5064 windsG417, fromG575 one endG206 of heavenG3772 toG2193 the otherG206+G846. {with…: or, with a trumpet, and a great voice}
NowG1161 learnG3129 a parableG3850 ofG575 the fig treeG4808; WhenG3752 hisG846 branchG2798 isG1096 yetG2235 tenderG527, andG2532 putteth forthG1631 leavesG5444, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 summerG2330 is nighG1451:
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, whenG3752 ye shall seeG1492 allG3956 these thingsG5023, knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 nearG1451, even atG1909 the doorsG2374. {it: or, he}
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThisG3778 generationG1074 shall notG3364 passG3928, tillG302+G2193 allG3956 these thingsG5023 be fulfilledG1096.
HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 shall pass awayG3928, butG1161 myG3450 wordsG3056 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928.
ButG1161 ofG4012 thatG1565 dayG2250 andG2532 hourG5610 knowethG1492 noG3762 man, no, notG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, butG1508 myG3450 FatherG3962 onlyG3441.
ButG1161 asG5618 the daysG2250 of NoeG3575 were, soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ForG1063 asG5618 inG1722 the daysG2250 that wereG2258 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 andG2532 drinkingG4095, marryingG1060 andG2532 giving in marriageG1547, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 NoeG3575 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the arkG2787,
AndG2532 knewG1097 notG3756 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064, andG2532 tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ThenG5119 shallG2071 twoG1417 beG2071 inG1722 the fieldG68; the oneG1520 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG1520 leftG863.
TwoG1417 women shall be grindingG229 atG1722 the millG3459; the oneG3391 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG3391 leftG863.
WatchG1127 thereforeG3767: forG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG4169 hourG5610 yourG5216 LordG2962 doth comeG2064.
ButG1161 knowG1097 thisG1565, thatG3754 ifG1487 the goodman of the houseG3617 had knownG1492 in whatG4169 watchG5438 the thiefG2812 would comeG2064, he wouldG302 have watchedG1127, andG2532 wouldG302 notG3756 have sufferedG1439 hisG846 houseG3614 to be broken upG1358.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 beG1096 yeG5210 alsoG2532 readyG2092: forG3754 in suchG3739 an hourG5610 as ye thinkG1380 notG3756 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064.
WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 a faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 hath made rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 themG846 meatG5160 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 he shall makeG2525 himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 hisG846 goodsG5224.
But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 evilG2556 servantG1401 shall sayG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, MyG3450 lordG2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064;
AndG2532 shall beginG756 to smiteG5180 his fellowservantsG4889, andG1161 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 withG3326 the drunkenG3184;
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 shall comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 for him, andG2532 inG1722 an hourG5610 thatG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 aware ofG1097,
AndG2532 shall cutG1371 himG846 asunderG1371, andG2532 appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the hypocritesG5273: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. {cut…: or, cut him off}
AndG1161 he looked upG308, and sawG1492 the rich menG4145 castingG906 theirG846 giftsG1435 intoG1519 the treasuryG1049.
AndG1161 he sawG1492 alsoG2532 a certainG5100 poorG3998 widowG5503 castingG906 in thitherG1563 twoG1417 mitesG3016.
AndG2532 he saidG2036, Of a truthG230 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 thisG3778 poorG4434 widowG5503 hath castG906 in more thanG4119 they allG3956:
ForG1063 allG537 theseG3778 have ofG1537 theirG846 abundanceG4052 castG906 in untoG1519 the offeringsG1435 of GodG2316: butG1161 sheG3778+G846 ofG1537 herG846 penuryG5303 hath castG906 in allG537 the livingG979 thatG3739 she hadG2192.
AndG2532 as someG5100 spakeG3004 ofG4012 the templeG2411, howG3754 it was adornedG2885 with goodlyG2570 stonesG3037 andG2532 giftsG334, he saidG2036,
As for these thingsG5023 whichG3739 ye beholdG2334, the daysG2250 will comeG2064, inG1722 the whichG3739 there shallG863 notG3756 be leftG863 one stoneG3037 uponG1909 anotherG3037, thatG3739 shallG2647 notG3756 be thrown downG2647.
AndG1161 they askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, butG3767 whenG4219 shallG2071 these thingsG5023 beG2071? andG2532 whatG5101 signG4592 will there be whenG3752 these thingsG5023 shallG3195 come to passG1096?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, Take heedG991 that ye beG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: forG1063 manyG4183 shall comeG2064 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686, sayingG3004+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 Christ; andG2532 the timeG2540 draweth nearG1448: go yeG4198 notG3361 thereforeG3767 afterG3694 themG846. {and the time: or, and, The time}
ButG1161 whenG3752 ye shall hearG191 of warsG4171 andG2532 commotionsG181, beG4422 notG3361 terrifiedG4422: forG1063 these thingsG5023 mustG1163 firstG4412 come to passG1096; butG235 the endG5056 is notG3756 by and byG2112.
ThenG5119 said heG3004 unto themG846, NationG1484 shall riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932:
AndG5037 greatG3173 earthquakesG4578 shall beG2071 inG2596 divers placesG5117, andG2532 faminesG3042, andG2532 pestilencesG3061; andG5037 fearful sightsG5400 andG2532 greatG3173 signsG4592 shall there beG2071 fromG575 heavenG3772.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 allG537 theseG5130, they shall layG1911 theirG846 handsG5495 onG1909 youG5209, andG2532 persecuteG1377 you, deliveringG3860 you upG1519 to the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 into prisonsG5438, being broughtG71 beforeG1909 kingsG935 andG2532 rulersG2232 forG1752 myG3450 name'sG3686 sakeG1752.
AndG1161 it shall turnG576 to youG5213 forG1519 a testimonyG3142.
SettleG5087 it thereforeG3767 inG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, notG3361 to meditate beforeG4304 what ye shall answerG626:
ForG1063 IG1473 will giveG1325 youG5213 a mouthG4750 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whichG3739 allG3956 yourG5213 adversariesG480 shallG1410 notG3756 be ableG1410 to gainsayG471 norG3761 resistG436.
AndG1161 ye shall be betrayedG3860 bothG2532 byG5259 parentsG1118, andG2532 brethrenG80, andG2532 kinsfolksG4773, andG2532 friendsG5384; andG2532 some ofG1537 youG5216 shall they cause to be put to deathG2289.
AndG2532 ye shall beG2071 hatedG3404 ofG5259 allG3956 men forG1223 myG3450 name's sakeG3686.
ButG2532 there shall notG3364 an hairG2359 ofG1537 yourG5216 headG2776 perishG622.
InG1722 yourG5216 patienceG5281 possess yeG2932 yourG5216 soulsG5590.
AndG1161 whenG3752 ye shall seeG1492 JerusalemG2419 compassedG2944 withG5259 armiesG4760, thenG5119 knowG1097 thatG3754 the desolationG2050 thereofG846 is nighG1448.
ThenG5119 let themG5343 which are inG1722 JudaeaG2449 fleeG5343 toG1519 the mountainsG3735; andG2532 let themG1633 which are inG1722 the midstG3319 of itG846 depart outG1633; andG2532 letG1525 notG3361 them that are inG1722 the countriesG5561 enterG1525 thereintoG1519+G846.
ForG3754 theseG3778 beG1526 the daysG2250 of vengeanceG1557, that all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 may be fulfilledG4137.
ButG1161 woeG3759 untoG1722 them that are with childG1064+G2192, andG2532 to them that give suckG2337, inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250! forG1063 there shall beG2071 greatG3173 distressG318 inG1909 the landG1093, andG2532 wrathG3709 uponG1722 thisG5129 peopleG2992.
AndG2532 they shall fallG4098 by the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, andG2532 shall be led away captiveG163 intoG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 JerusalemG2419 shall beG2071 trodden downG3961 ofG5259 the GentilesG1484, untilG891 the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 be fulfilledG4137.
AndG2532 there shall beG2071 signsG4592 inG1722 the sunG2246, andG2532 in the moonG4582, andG2532 in the starsG798; andG2532 uponG1909 the earthG1093 distressG4928 of nationsG1484, withG1722 perplexityG640; the seaG2281 andG2532 the wavesG4535 roaringG2278;
Men'sG444 hearts failing themG674 forG575 fearG5401, andG2532 for looking afterG4329 those things which are coming onG1904 the earthG3625: forG1063 the powersG1411 of heavenG3772 shall be shakenG4531.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall they seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1722 a cloudG3507 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.
AndG1161 when these thingsG5130 beginG756 to come to passG1096, then look upG352, andG2532 lift upG1869 yourG5216 headsG2776; forG1360 yourG5216 redemptionG629 draweth nighG1448.
AndG2532 he spakeG2036 to themG846 a parableG3850; BeholdG1492 the fig treeG4808, andG2532 allG3956 the treesG1186;
WhenG3752 they nowG2235 shoot forthG4261, ye seeG991 and knowG1097 ofG575 your own selvesG1438 thatG3754 summerG2330 isG2076 nowG2235 nigh at handG1451.
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, whenG3752 ye seeG1492 these thingsG5023 come to passG1096, know yeG1097 thatG3754 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 nigh at handG1451.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, ThisG3778 generationG1074 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928+G302, tillG2193 allG3956 be fulfilledG1096.
HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 shall pass awayG3928: butG1161 myG3450 wordsG3056 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928.
AndG1161 take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438, lest at any timeG3379 yourG5216 heartsG2588 be overchargedG925 withG1722 surfeitingG2897, andG2532 drunkennessG3178, andG2532 caresG3308 of this lifeG982, andG2532 so thatG1565 dayG2250 comeG2186 uponG1909 youG5209 unawaresG160.
ForG1063 asG5613 a snareG3803 shall it comeG1904 onG1909 allG3956 them that dwellG2521 onG1909 the faceG4383 of the wholeG3956 earthG1093.
Watch yeG69 thereforeG3767, and prayG1189 alwaysG1722+G3956+G2540, thatG2443 ye may be accounted worthyG2661 to escapeG1628 allG3956 these thingsG5023 that shallG3195 come to passG1096, andG2532 to standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of manG444.
AndG1161 in the day timeG2250 he wasG2258 teachingG1321 inG1722 the templeG2411; andG1161 at nightG3571 he went outG1831, and abodeG835 inG1519 the mountG3735 that is calledG2564 the mount of OlivesG1636.
AndG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992 came early in the morningG3719 toG4314 himG846 inG1722 the templeG2411, for to hearG191 himG846.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I was jealousH7065 for ZionH6726 with greatH1419 jealousyH7068, and I was jealousH7065 for her with greatH1419 furyH2534.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 unto ZionH6726, and will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and JerusalemH3389 shall be calledH7121 a cityH5892 of truthH571; and the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 the holyH6944 mountainH2022.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; There shall yet old menH2205 and old womenH2205 dwellH3427 in the streetsH7339 of JerusalemH3389, and every manH376 with his staffH4938 in his handH3027 for veryH7230 ageH3117. {very…: Heb. multitude of days}
And the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892 shall be fullH4390 of boysH3206 and girlsH3207 playingH7832 in the streetsH7339 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; If it be marvellousH6381 in the eyesH5869 of the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 in these daysH3117, should it also be marvellousH6381 in mine eyesH5869? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {marvellous: or, hard, or, difficult}
It was round aboutH5439 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 measures: and the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 from that dayH3117 shall be, The LORD is thereH3074. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahshammah}
SingH7442 and rejoiceH8055, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: for, lo, I comeH935, and I will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
OpenH6605 thy doorsH1817, O LebanonH3844, that the fireH784 may devourH398 thy cedarsH730.
HowlH3213, fir treeH1265; for the cedarH730 is fallenH5307; because the mightyH117 are spoiledH7703: howlH3213, O ye oaksH437 of BashanH1316; for the forestH3293 of the vintageH1208+H1219 is come downH3381. {mighty: or, gallants} {the forest…: or, the defenced forest}
There is a voiceH6963 of the howlingH3215 of the shepherdsH7462; for their gloryH155 is spoiledH7703: a voiceH6963 of the roaringH7581 of young lionsH3715; for the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 is spoiledH7703.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 my GodH430; FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of the slaughterH2028;
Whose possessorsH7069 slayH2026 them, and hold themselves not guiltyH816: and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068; for I am richH6238: and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not.
For I will no more pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but, lo, I will deliverH4672 the menH120 every oneH376 into his neighbour'sH7453 handH3027, and into the handH3027 of his kingH4428: and they shall smiteH3807 the landH776, and out of their handH3027 I will not deliverH5337 them. {deliver: Heb. make to be found}
And I will feedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, even youH3651, O poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 unto me twoH8147 stavesH4731; the oneH259 I calledH7121 BeautyH5278, and the otherH259 I calledH7121 BandsH2254; and I fedH7462 the flockH6629. {even…: or, verily the poor} {Bands: or, Binders}
ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cut offH3582 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 lothedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 also abhorredH973 me. {lothed…: Heb. was straightened for them}
Then saidH559 I, I will not feedH7462 you: that that diethH4191, let it dieH4191; and that that is to be cut offH3582, let it be cut offH3582; and let the restH7604 eatH398 every oneH802 the fleshH1320 of anotherH7468. {another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour}
And I tookH3947 my staffH4731, even BeautyH5278, and cut it asunderH1438, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I had madeH3772 with all the peopleH5971.
And it was brokenH6565 in that dayH3117: and so the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that waitedH8104 upon me knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. {so…: or, the poor of the flock, etc. certainly knew}
And I saidH559 unto them, If ye thinkH5869 goodH2896, giveH3051 me my priceH7939; and if not, forbearH2308. So they weighedH8254 for my priceH7939 thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701. {If ye…: Heb. If it be good in your eyes}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, CastH7993 it unto the potterH3335: a goodlyH145 priceH3366 that I was prised atH3365 of them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701, and castH7993 them to the potterH3335 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then I cut asunderH1438 mine otherH8145 staffH4731, even BandsH2254, that I might breakH6565 the brotherhoodH264 between JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478. {Bands: or, Binders}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, TakeH3947 unto thee yet the instrumentsH3627 of a foolishH196 shepherdH7462.
For, lo, I will raise upH6965 a shepherdH7462 in the landH776, which shall not visitH6485 those that be cut offH3582, neither shall seekH1245 the young oneH5289, nor healH7495 that that is brokenH7665, nor feedH3557 that that standethH5324 still: but he shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277, and tearH6561 their clawsH6541 in piecesH6561. {cut off: or, hidden} {feed: or, bear}
WoeH1945 to the idolH457 shepherdH7473 that leavethH5800 the flockH6629! the swordH2719 shall be upon his armH2220, and upon his rightH3225 eyeH5869: his armH2220 shall be cleanH3001 dried upH3001, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterlyH3543 darkenedH3543.
And men shall dwellH3427 in it, and there shall be no more utter destructionH2764; but JerusalemH3389 shall be safelyH983 inhabitedH3427. {shall be: or, shall abide}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129 to the LORDH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the cornerH6438.
And the measuringH4060 lineH6957+H6961 shall yet go forthH3318 over against it upon the hillH1389 GarebH1619, and shall compass aboutH5437 to GoathH1601.
And the whole valleyH6010 of the dead bodiesH6297, and of the ashesH1880, and all the fieldsH7709+H8309 unto the brookH5158 of KidronH6939, unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 toward the eastH4217, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; it shall not be plucked upH5428, nor thrown downH2040 any more for everH5769.
SingH7442, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O IsraelH3478; be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5937 with all the heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 hath taken awayH5493 thy judgmentsH4941, he hath cast outH6437 thine enemyH341: the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, even the LORDH3068, is in the midstH7130 of thee: thou shalt not seeH7200 evilH7451 any more.
In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559 to JerusalemH3389, FearH3372 thou not: and to ZionH6726, Let not thine handsH3027 be slackH7503. {slack: or, faint}
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the midstH7130 of thee is mightyH1368; he will saveH3467, he will rejoiceH7797 over thee with joyH8057; he will restH2790 in his loveH160, he will joyH1523 over thee with singingH7440. {rest: Heb. be silent}
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.
So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965 afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935 from a farH7350 landH776, shall sayH559, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776, and the sicknessesH8463 which the LORDH3068 hath laidH2470 upon it; {which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick}
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
Again I will buildH1129 thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710 with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318 in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832. {tabrets: or, timbrels}
Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490. {eat…: Heb. profane them}
For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SingH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670 among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085 ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, O LORDH3068, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.
Behold, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thither.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046 it in the islesH339 afar offH4801, and sayH559, He that scatteredH2219 IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908 him, and keepH8104 him, as a shepherdH7462 doth his flockH5739.
For the LORDH3068 hath redeemedH6299 JacobH3290, and ransomedH1350 him from the handH3027 of him that was strongerH2389 than he.
Therefore they shall comeH935 and singH7442 in the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flow togetherH5102 to the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068, for wheatH1715, and for wineH8492, and for oilH3323, and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241: and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588; and they shall not sorrowH1669 any moreH3254 at all.
Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055 in the danceH4234, both young menH970 and oldH2205 togetherH3162: for I will turnH2015 their mourningH60 into joyH8342, and will comfortH5162 them, and make them rejoiceH8055 from their sorrowH3015.
And I will satiateH7301 the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646 with my goodnessH2898, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065; RahelH7354 weepingH1058 for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162 for her childrenH1121, because they were not.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; RefrainH4513 thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832: for thy workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall come againH7725 from the landH776 of the enemyH341.
And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725 to their own borderH1366.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725, I repentedH5162; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045, I smoteH5606 upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954, yea, even confoundedH3637, because I did bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271.
Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696 against him, I do earnestlyH2142 rememberH2142 him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993 for him; I will surelyH7355 have mercyH7355 upon him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {are…: Heb. sound}
Set thee upH5324 waymarksH6725, makeH7760 thee high heapsH8564: setH7896 thine heartH3820 toward the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 which thou wentestH1980: turn againH7725, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 to these thy citiesH5892.
How long wilt thou go aboutH2559, O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254 a new thingH2319 in the earthH776, A womanH5347 shall compassH5437 a manH1397.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559 this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944.
And there shall dwellH3427 in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof togetherH3162, husbandmenH406, and they that go forthH5265 with flocksH5739.
For I have satiatedH7301 the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and I have replenishedH4390 every sorrowfulH1669 soulH5315.
Upon this I awakedH6974, and beheldH7200; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto me.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sowH2232 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120, and with the seedH2233 of beastH929.
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched overH8245 them, to pluck upH5428, and to break downH5422, and to throw downH2040, and to destroyH6, and to afflictH7489; so will I watch overH8245 them, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
In those daysH3117 they shall sayH559 no more, The fathersH1 have eatenH398 a sour grapeH1155, and the children'sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edgeH6949.
But every oneH376 shall dieH4191 for his own iniquityH5771: every manH120 that eatethH398 the sour grapeH1155, his teethH8127 shall be set on edgeH6949.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, which givethH5414 the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280 the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034:
If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185 from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673 from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for everH3117.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measuredH4058, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713 beneathH4295, I will also cast offH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have doneH6213, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129 to the LORDH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the cornerH6438.
And the measuringH4060 lineH6957+H6961 shall yet go forthH3318 over against it upon the hillH1389 GarebH1619, and shall compass aboutH5437 to GoathH1601.
And the whole valleyH6010 of the dead bodiesH6297, and of the ashesH1880, and all the fieldsH7709+H8309 unto the brookH5158 of KidronH6939, unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 toward the eastH4217, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; it shall not be plucked upH5428, nor thrown downH2040 any more for everH5769.
And I will cause the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and the captivityH7622 of IsraelH3478 to returnH7725, and will buildH1129 them, as at the firstH7223.
And I will cleanseH2891 them from all their iniquityH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398 against me; and I will pardonH5545 all their iniquitiesH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398, and whereby they have transgressedH6586 against me.
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joyH8342, a praiseH8416 and an honourH8597 before all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776, which shall hearH8085 all the goodH2896 that I doH6213 unto them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for all the goodnessH2896 and for all the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 unto it.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Again there shall be heardH8085 in this placeH4725, which ye sayH559 shall be desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, even in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, that are desolateH8074, without manH120, and without inhabitantH3427, and without beastH929,
The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the landH776, as at the firstH7223, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Again in this placeH4725, which is desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof, shall be an habitationH5116 of shepherdsH7462 causing their flocksH6629 to lie downH7257.
In the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, in the citiesH5892 of the valeH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045, and in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, shall the flocksH6629 pass againH5674 under the handsH3027 of him that tellethH4487 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will performH6965 that goodH2896 thingH1697 which I have promisedH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 unto the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559, Ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the enemyH341 hath saidH559 against you, AhaH1889, even the ancientH5769 high placesH1116 are ours in possessionH4181:
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they have made you desolateH8074, and swallowed you upH7602 on every sideH5439, that ye might be a possessionH4181 unto the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and ye are taken upH5927 in the lipsH8193 of talkersH3956, and are an infamyH1681 of the peopleH5971: {Because: Heb. Because for because} {are…: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue}
Therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 wastesH2723, and to the citiesH5892 that are forsakenH5800, which became a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
ProphesyH5012 therefore concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, because ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I have lifted upH5375 mine handH3027, Surely the heathenH1471 that are aboutH5439 you, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.
But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5375 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; for they are at handH7126 to comeH935.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turnH6437 unto you, and ye shall be tilledH5647 and sownH2232:
And I will multiplyH7235 menH120 upon you, all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, even all of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129:
And I will multiplyH7235 upon you manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235 and bring fruitH6509: and I will settleH3427 you after your old estatesH6927, and will do betterH2895 unto you than at your beginningsH7221: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Yea, I will cause menH120 to walkH3212 upon you, even my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt no moreH3254 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of men.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they sayH559 unto you, Thou land devourest upH398 menH120, and hast bereavedH7921 thy nationsH1471;
Therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 no more, neither bereaveH7921+H3782 thy nationsH1471 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bereave: or, cause to fall}
Neither will I cause men to hearH8085 in thee the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more, neither shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peopleH5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nationsH1471 to fallH3782 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in their own landH127, they defiledH2930 it by their own wayH1870 and by their doingsH5949: their wayH1870 was beforeH6440 me as the uncleannessH2932 of a removed womanH5079.
Wherefore I pouredH8210 my furyH2534 upon them for the bloodH1818 that they had shedH8210 upon the landH776, and for their idolsH1544 wherewith they had pollutedH2930 it:
And I scatteredH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 through the countriesH776: according to their wayH1870 and according to their doingsH5949 I judgedH8199 them.
And when they enteredH935 unto the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935, they profanedH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034, when they saidH559 to them, These are the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and are gone forthH3318 out of his landH776.
But I had pityH2550 for mine holyH6944 nameH8034, which the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
And I will sanctifyH6942 my greatH1419 nameH8034, which was profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, which ye have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyesH5869. {their: or, your}
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
I will also saveH3467 you from all your uncleannessesH2932: and I will callH7121 for the cornH1715, and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 no famineH7458 upon you.
And I will multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, and the increaseH8570 of the fieldH7704, that ye shall receiveH3947 no more reproachH2781 of famineH7458 among the heathenH1471.
Then shall ye rememberH2142 your own evilH7451 waysH1870, and your doingsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your iniquitiesH5771 and for your abominationsH8441.
Not for your sakes doH6213 I this, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, be it knownH3045 unto you: be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for your own waysH1870, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 that I shall have cleansedH2891 you from all your iniquitiesH5771 I will also cause you to dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129.
And the desolateH8074 landH776 shall be tilledH5647, whereas it lay desolateH8077 in the sightH5869 of all that passed byH5674.
And they shall sayH559, ThisH1977 landH776 that was desolateH8074 is become like the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720 and desolateH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are become fencedH1219, and are inhabitedH3427.
Then the heathenH1471 that are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolateH8074: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
As the holyH6944 flockH6629, as the flockH6629 of JerusalemH3389 in her solemn feastsH4150; so shall the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with flocksH6629 of menH120: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {holy…: Heb. flock of holy things}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114, and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seedH2233; and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wineH6071, and all the hillsH1389 shall meltH4127. {soweth: Heb. draweth forth} {sweet: or, new}
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
ForG1063 allG3745 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846 are yeaG3483, andG2532 inG1722 himG846 AmenG281, untoG4314 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 byG1223 usG2257.
Repent yeG3340 thereforeG3767, andG2532 be convertedG1994, thatG1519 yourG5216 sinsG266 may be blotted outG1813, whenG3704 the timesG2540 of refreshingG403 shall comeG302+G2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962;
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which before was preachedG4296 unto youG5213:
WhomG3739 the heavenG3772+G3303 mustG1163 receiveG1209 untilG891 the timesG5550 of restitutionG605 of all thingsG3956, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath spokenG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of allG3956 hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396 sinceG575 the world beganG165.
For I will pourH3332 waterH4325 upon him that is thirstyH6771, and floodsH5140 upon the dry groundH3004: I will pourH3332 my spiritH7307 upon thy seedH2233, and my blessingH1293 upon thine offspringH6631:
And in that dayH3117 sevenH7651 womenH802 shall take holdH2388 of oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will eatH398 our own breadH3899, and wearH3847 our own apparelH8071: only let us be calledH7121 by thy nameH8034, to take awayH622 our reproachH2781. {let…: Heb. let thy name be called upon us} {to take…: or, take thou away}
In that dayH3117 shall the branchH6780 of the LORDH3068 be beautifulH6643 and gloriousH3519, and the fruitH6529 of the earthH776 shall be excellentH1347 and comely forH8597 them that are escapedH6413 of IsraelH3478. {beautiful…: Heb. beauty and glory} {them…: Heb. the escaping}
And it shall come to pass, that he that is leftH7604 in ZionH6726, and he that remainethH3498 in JerusalemH3389, shall be calledH559 holyH6918, even every one that is writtenH3789 among the livingH2416 in JerusalemH3389: {among…: or, to life}
When the LordH136 shall have washed awayH7364 the filthH6675 of the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and shall have purgedH1740 the bloodH1818 of JerusalemH3389 from the midstH7130 thereof by the spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941, and by the spiritH7307 of burningH1197.
And the LORDH3068 will createH1254 upon every dwelling placeH4349 of mountH2022 ZionH6726, and upon her assembliesH4744, a cloudH6051 and smokeH6227 by dayH3119, and the shiningH5051 of a flamingH3852 fireH784 by nightH3915: for upon all the gloryH3519 shall be a defenceH2646. {upon all: or, above all} {defence: Heb. covering}
And there shall be a tabernacleH5521 for a shadowH6738 in the daytimeH3119 from the heatH2721, and for a place of refugeH4268, and for a covertH4563 from stormH2230 and from rainH4306.
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 unto you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him.
For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 no moreH1058: he will be veryH2603 graciousH2603 unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2199; when he shall hearH8085 it, he will answerH6030 thee.
And though the LordH136 giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862, and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, yet shall not thy teachersH3384 be removed into a cornerH3670 any more, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachersH3384: {affliction: or, oppression}
And thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in itH3212, when ye turn to the right handH541, and when ye turn to the leftH8041.
Ye shall defileH2930 also the coveringH6826 of thy graven imagesH6456 of silverH3701, and the ornamentH642 of thy molten imagesH4541 of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them awayH2219 as a menstruous clothH1739; thou shalt sayH559 unto it, Get thee henceH3318. {thy graven…: Heb. the graven images of thy silver} {cast: Heb. scatter}
Then shall he giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233, that thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127 withal; and breadH3899 of the increaseH8393 of the earthH127, and it shall be fatH1879 and plenteousH8082: in that dayH3117 shall thy cattleH4735 feedH7462 in largeH7337 pasturesH3733.
The oxenH504 likewise and the young assesH5895 that earH5647 the groundH127 shall eatH398 cleanH2548 provenderH1098, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovelH7371 and with the fanH4214. {clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened}
And there shall be upon every highH1364 mountainH2022, and upon every highH5375 hillH1389, riversH6388 and streamsH2988 of watersH4325 in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. {high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
Moreover the lightH216 of the moonH3842 shall be as the lightH216 of the sunH2535, and the lightH216 of the sunH2535 shall be sevenfoldH7659, as the lightH216 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 bindeth upH2280 the breachH7667 of his peopleH5971, and healethH7495 the strokeH4273 of their woundH4347.
Behold, the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 comethH935 from farH4801, burningH1197 with his angerH639, and the burdenH4858 thereof is heavyH3514: his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 as a devouringH398 fireH784: {burden…: or, grievousness of flame} {heavy: Heb. heaviness}
And his breathH7307, as an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, shall reach to the midstH2673 of the neckH6677, to siftH5130 the nationsH1471 with the sieveH5299 of vanityH7723: and there shall be a bridleH7448 in the jawsH3895 of the peopleH5971, causing them to errH8582.
Ye shall have a songH7892, as in the nightH3915 when a holyH6942 solemnityH2282 is keptH6942; and gladnessH8057 of heartH3824, as when one goethH1980 with a pipeH2485 to comeH935 into the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the mighty OneH6697 of IsraelH3478. {mighty…: Heb. Rock}
And the LORDH3068 shall cause his gloriousH1935 voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and shall shewH7200 the lighting downH5183 of his armH2220, with the indignationH2197 of his angerH639, and with the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784, with scatteringH5311, and tempestH2230, and hailstonesH68+H1259. {his glorious…: Heb. the glory of his voice}
For through the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the AssyrianH804 be beaten downH2865, which smoteH5221 with a rodH7626.
And in every placeH3605 where the groundedH4145 staffH4294 shall passH4569, which the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 upon him, it shall be with tabretsH8596 and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shakingH8573 will he fightH3898 with it. {in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay…: Heb. cause to rest upon him} {with it: or, against them}
For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797 for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523, and blossomH6524 as the roseH2261.
It shall blossomH6524 abundantlyH6524, and rejoiceH1523 even with joyH1525 and singingH7444: the gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall be givenH5414 unto it, the excellencyH1926 of CarmelH3760 and SharonH8289, they shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, and the excellencyH1926 of our GodH430.
StrengthenH2388 ye the weakH7504 handsH3027, and confirmH553 the feebleH3782 kneesH1290.
SayH559 to them that are of a fearfulH4116 heartH3820, Be strongH2388, fearH3372 not: behold, your GodH430 will comeH935 with vengeanceH5359, even GodH430 with a recompenceH1576; he will comeH935 and saveH3467 you. {fearful: Heb. hasty}
Then the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall be openedH6491, and the earsH241 of the deafH2795 shall be unstoppedH6605.
Then shall the lameH6455 man leapH1801 as an hartH354, and the tongueH3956 of the dumbH483 singH7442: for in the wildernessH4057 shall watersH4325 break outH1234, and streamsH5158 in the desertH6160.
And the parched groundH8273 shall become a poolH98, and the thirsty landH6774 springsH4002 of waterH4325: in the habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, where each layH7258, shall be grassH2682 with reedsH7070 and rushesH1573. {grass…: or, a court for reeds, etc}
And an highwayH4547 shall be there, and a wayH1870, and it shall be calledH7121 The wayH1870 of holinessH6944; the uncleanH2931 shall not pass overH5674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring menH1980, though foolsH191, shall not errH8582 therein. {but…: or, for he shall be with them}
No lionH738 shall be there, nor any ravenousH6530 beastH2416 shall go upH5927 thereon, it shall not be foundH4672 there; but the redeemedH1350 shall walkH1980 there:
And the ransomedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 to ZionH6726 with songsH7440 and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 upon their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381 joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall flee awayH5127.
ComfortH5162 ye, comfortH5162 ye my peopleH5971, saithH559 your GodH430.
SpeakH1696 ye comfortablyH3820 to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto her, that her warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that her iniquityH5771 is pardonedH7521: for she hath receivedH3947 of the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for all her sinsH2403. {comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
The voiceH6963 of him that criethH7121 in the wildernessH4057, PrepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
Every valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and every mountainH2022 and hillH1389 shall be made lowH8213: and the crookedH6121 shall be made straightH4334, and the rough placesH7406 plainH1237: {straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
The voiceH6963 saidH559, CryH7121. And he saidH559, What shall I cryH7121? All fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and all the goodlinessH2617 thereof is as the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704:
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: because the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 blowethH5380 upon it: surelyH403 the peopleH5971 is grassH2682.
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: but the wordH1697 of our GodH430 shall standH6965 for everH5769.
O ZionH6726, that bringest good tidingsH1319, get thee upH5927 into the highH1364 mountainH2022; O JerusalemH3389, that bringest good tidingsH1319, lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; lift it upH7311, be not afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Behold your GodH430! {O Zion…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}
Behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 will comeH935 with strongH2389 hand, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him. {with strong…: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}
He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462: he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH2922 with his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that are with youngH5763. {that…: or, that give suck}
ListenH8085, O islesH339, unto me; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816, from farH7350; The LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 me from the wombH990; from the bowelsH4578 of my motherH517 hath he made mentionH2142 of my nameH8034.
And he hath madeH7760 my mouthH6310 like a sharpH2299 swordH2719; in the shadowH6738 of his handH3027 hath he hidH2244 me, and madeH7760 me a polishedH1305 shaftH2671; in his quiverH827 hath he hidH5641 me;
And saidH559 unto me, Thou art my servantH5650, O IsraelH3478, in whom I will be glorifiedH6286.
Then I saidH559, I have labouredH3021 in vainH7385, I have spentH3615 my strengthH3581 for noughtH8414, and in vainH1892: yet surelyH403 my judgmentH4941 is with the LORDH3068, and my workH6468 with my GodH430. {my work: or, my reward}
And now, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 me from the wombH990 to be his servantH5650, to bringH7725 JacobH3290 againH7725 to him, Though IsraelH3478 be not gatheredH622, yet shall I be gloriousH3513 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and my GodH430 shall be my strengthH5797. {Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his Holy OneH6918, to him whom manH5315 despisethH960, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorrethH8581, to a servantH5650 of rulersH4910, KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965, princesH8269 also shall worshipH7812, because of the LORDH3068 that is faithfulH539, and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and he shall chooseH977 thee. {whom man…: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 timeH6256 have I heardH6030 thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee: and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to establishH6965 the earthH776, to cause to inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159; {establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShewH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205.
They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.
And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.
But ZionH6726 saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 me, and my LordH136 hath forgottenH7911 me.
Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking childH5764, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, they may forgetH7911, yet will I not forgetH7911 thee. {that…: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have gravenH2710 thee upon the palms of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me.
Thy childrenH1121 shall make hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that made thee wasteH2717 shall go forthH3318 of thee.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth.
For thy wasteH2723 and thy desolate placesH8074, and the landH776 of thy destructionH2035, shall even now be too narrowH3334 by reason of the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowed thee upH1104 shall be far awayH7368.
The childrenH1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lostH7923 the other, shall sayH559 again in thine earsH241, The placeH4725 is too straitH6862 for me: giveH5066 placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427.
Then shalt thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Who hath begottenH3205 me these, seeing I have lost my childrenH7921, and am desolateH1565, a captiveH1540, and removing to and froH5493? and who hath brought upH1431 these? Behold, I was leftH7604 alone; these, whereH375 had they been?
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 mine handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. {arms: Heb. bosom}
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawfulH6662 captiveH7628 deliveredH4422? {lawful…: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken awayH3947, and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 shall be deliveredH4422: for I will contendH7378 with him that contendethH3401 with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy childrenH1121. {captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkenH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290. {sweet: or, new}
SingH7442, O barrenH6135, thou that didst not bearH3205; break forthH6476 into singingH7440, and cry aloudH6670, thou that didst not travail with childH2342: for moreH7227 are the childrenH1121 of the desolateH8074 than the childrenH1121 of the married wifeH1166, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
EnlargeH7337 the placeH4725 of thy tentH168, and let them stretch forthH5186 the curtainsH3407 of thine habitationsH4908: spareH2820 not, lengthenH748 thy cordsH4340, and strengthenH2388 thy stakesH3489;
For thou shalt break forthH6555 on the right handH3225 and on the leftH8040; and thy seedH2233 shall inheritH3423 the GentilesH1471, and make the desolateH8074 citiesH5892 to be inhabitedH3427.
FearH3372 not; for thou shalt not be ashamedH954: neither be thou confoundedH3637; for thou shalt not be put to shameH2659: for thou shalt forgetH7911 the shameH1322 of thy youthH5934, and shalt not rememberH2142 the reproachH2781 of thy widowhoodH491 any more.
For thy MakerH6213 is thine husbandH1166; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034; and thy RedeemerH1350 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; The GodH430 of the whole earthH776 shall he be calledH7121.
For the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 thee as a womanH802 forsakenH5800 and grievedH6087 in spiritH7307, and a wifeH802 of youthH5271, when thou wast refusedH3988, saithH559 thy GodH430.
For a smallH6996 momentH7281 have I forsakenH5800 thee; but with greatH1419 merciesH7356 will I gatherH6908 thee.
In a littleH8241 wrathH7110 I hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thee for a momentH7281; but with everlastingH5769 kindnessH2617 will I have mercyH7355 on thee, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy RedeemerH1350.
For this is as the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 unto me: for as I have swornH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 should no more go overH5674 the earthH776; so have I swornH7650 that I would not be wrothH7107 with thee, nor rebukeH1605 thee.
For the mountainsH2022 shall departH4185, and the hillsH1389 be removedH4131; but my kindnessH2617 shall not departH4185 from thee, neither shall the covenantH1285 of my peaceH7965 be removedH4131, saithH559 the LORDH3068 that hath mercyH7355 on thee.
O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempestH5590, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will layH7257 thy stonesH68 with fair coloursH6320, and lay thy foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.
And I will makeH7760 thy windowsH8121 of agatesH3539, and thy gatesH8179 of carbunclesH68+H688, and all thy bordersH1366 of pleasantH2656 stonesH68.
And all thy childrenH1121 shall be taughtH3928 of the LORDH3068; and greatH7227 shall be the peaceH7965 of thy childrenH1121.
In righteousnessH6666 shalt thou be establishedH3559: thou shalt be farH7368 from oppressionH6233; for thou shalt not fearH3372: and from terrorH4288; for it shall not come nearH7126 thee.
Behold, they shall surelyH1481 gather togetherH1481, but notH657 by me: whosoeverH4310 shall gather togetherH1481 against thee shall fallH5307 for thy sake.
Behold, I have createdH1254 the smithH2796 that blowethH5301 the coalsH6352 in the fireH784, and that bringeth forthH3318 an instrumentH3627 for his workH4639; and I have createdH1254 the wasterH7843 to destroyH2254.
No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, and their righteousnessH6666 is of me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HoH1945, every one that thirstethH6771, comeH3212 ye to the watersH4325, and he that hath no moneyH3701; comeH3212 ye, buyH7666, and eatH398; yea, comeH3212, buyH7666 wineH3196 and milkH2461 without moneyH3701 and without priceH4242.
Wherefore do ye spendH8254 moneyH3701 for that which is not breadH3899? and your labourH3018 for that which satisfiethH7654 notH3808? hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto me, and eatH398 ye that which is goodH2896, and let your soulH5315 delightH6026 itself in fatnessH1880. {spend: Heb. weigh}
InclineH5186 your earH241, and comeH3212 unto me: hearH8085, and your soulH5315 shall liveH2421; and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with you, even the sureH539 merciesH2617 of DavidH1732.
Behold, I have givenH5414 him for a witnessH5707 to the peopleH3816, a leaderH5057 and commanderH6680 to the peopleH3816.
Behold, thou shalt callH7121 a nationH1471 that thou knowestH3045 not, and nationsH1471 that knewH3045 not thee shall runH7323 unto thee because of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and for the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; for he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
SeekH1875 ye the LORDH3068 while he may be foundH4672, callH7121 ye upon him while he is nearH7138:
Let the wickedH7563 forsakeH5800 his wayH1870, and the unrighteousH205 manH376 his thoughtsH4284: and let him returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and he will have mercyH7355 upon him; and to our GodH430, for he will abundantlyH7235 pardonH5545. {the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon}
For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, so are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284.
For as the rainH1653 cometh downH3381, and the snowH7950 from heavenH8064, and returnethH7725 not thither, but waterethH7301 the earthH776, and maketh it bring forthH3205 and budH6779, that it may giveH5414 seedH2233 to the sowerH2232, and breadH3899 to the eaterH398:
So shall my wordH1697 be that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me voidH7387, but it shall accomplishH6213 that which I pleaseH2654, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thing whereto I sentH7971 it.
For ye shall go outH3318 with joyH8057, and be led forthH2986 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall break forthH6476 beforeH6440 you into singingH7440, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709.
Instead of the thornH5285 shall come upH5927 the fir treeH1265, and instead of the brierH5636 shall come upH5927 the myrtle treeH1918: and it shall be to the LORDH3068 for a nameH8034, for an everlastingH5769 signH226 that shall not be cut offH3772.
AriseH6965, shineH215; for thy lightH216 is comeH935, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 is risenH2224 upon thee. {shine…: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}
For, behold, the darknessH2822 shall coverH3680 the earthH776, and gross darknessH6205 the peopleH3816: but the LORDH3068 shall ariseH2224 upon thee, and his gloryH3519 shall be seenH7200 upon thee.
And the GentilesH1471 shall comeH1980 to thy lightH216, and kingsH4428 to the brightnessH5051 of thy risingH2225.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and seeH7200: all they gather themselves togetherH6908, they comeH935 to thee: thy sonsH1121 shall comeH935 from farH7350, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be nursedH539 at thy sideH6654.
Then thou shalt seeH7200+H3372, and flow togetherH5102, and thine heartH3824 shall fearH6342, and be enlargedH7337; because the abundanceH1995 of the seaH3220 shall be convertedH2015 unto thee, the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee. {abundance…: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}
The multitudeH8229 of camelsH1581 shall coverH3680 thee, the dromedariesH1070 of MidianH4080 and EphahH5891; all they from ShebaH7614 shall comeH935: they shall bringH5375 goldH2091 and incenseH3828; and they shall shew forthH1319 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068.
All the flocksH6629 of KedarH6938 shall be gathered togetherH6908 unto thee, the ramsH352 of NebaiothH5032 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: they shall come upH5927 with acceptanceH7522 on mine altarH4196, and I will glorifyH6286 the houseH1004 of my gloryH8597.
Who are these that flyH5774 as a cloudH5645, and as the dovesH3123 to their windowsH699?
Surely the islesH339 shall waitH6960 for me, and the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 firstH7223, to bringH935 thy sonsH1121 from farH7350, their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 with them, unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, because he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
And the sonsH1121 of strangersH5236 shall build upH1129 thy wallsH2346, and their kingsH4428 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: for in my wrathH7110 I smoteH5221 thee, but in my favourH7522 have I had mercyH7355 on thee.
Therefore thy gatesH8179 shall be openH6605 continuallyH8548; they shall not be shutH5462 dayH3119 nor nightH3915; that men may bringH935 unto thee the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and that their kingsH4428 may be broughtH5090. {forces: or, wealth}
For the nationH1471 and kingdomH4467 that will not serveH5647 thee shall perishH6; yea, those nationsH1471 shall be utterlyH2717 wastedH2717.
The gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall comeH935 unto thee, the fir treeH1265, the pine treeH8410, and the boxH8391 togetherH3162, to beautifyH6286 the placeH4725 of my sanctuaryH4720; and I will make the placeH4725 of my feetH7272 gloriousH3513.
The sonsH1121 also of them that afflictedH6031 thee shall comeH1980 bendingH7817 unto thee; and all they that despisedH5006 thee shall bow themselves downH7812 at the solesH3709 of thy feetH7272; and they shall callH7121 thee, The cityH5892 of the LORDH3068, The ZionH6726 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
WhereasH8478 thou hast been forsakenH5800 and hatedH8130, so that no man went throughH5674 thee, I will makeH7760 thee an eternalH5769 excellencyH1347, a joyH4885 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.
Thou shalt also suckH3243 the milkH2461 of the GentilesH1471, and shalt suckH3243 the breastH7699 of kingsH4428: and thou shalt knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290.
For brassH5178 I will bringH935 goldH2091, and for ironH1270 I will bringH935 silverH3701, and for woodH6086 brassH5178, and for stonesH68 ironH1270: I will also makeH7760 thy officersH6486 peaceH7965, and thine exactorsH5065 righteousnessH6666.
ViolenceH2555 shall no more be heardH8085 in thy landH776, wastingH7701 nor destructionH7667 within thy bordersH1366; but thou shalt callH7121 thy wallsH2346 SalvationH3444, and thy gatesH8179 PraiseH8416.
The sunH8121 shall be no more thy lightH216 by dayH3119; neither for brightnessH5051 shall the moonH3394 give lightH216 unto thee: but the LORDH3068 shall be unto thee an everlastingH5769 lightH215, and thy GodH430 thy gloryH8597.
Thy sunH8121 shall no more go downH935; neither shall thy moonH3391 withdrawH622 itself: for the LORDH3068 shall be thine everlastingH5769 lightH216, and the daysH3117 of thy mourningH60 shall be endedH7999.
Thy peopleH5971 also shall be all righteousH6662: they shall inheritH3423 the landH776 for everH5769, the branchH5342 of my plantingH4302, the workH4639 of my handsH3027, that I may be glorifiedH6286.
A little oneH6996 shall become a thousandH505, and a small oneH6810 a strongH6099 nationH1471: I the LORDH3068 will hastenH2363 it in his timeH6256.
The SpiritH7307 of the LordH136 GODH3069 is upon me; because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886 me to preach good tidingsH1319 unto the meekH6035; he hath sentH7971 me to bind upH2280 the brokenheartedH7665+H3820, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 to the captivesH7617, and the opening of the prisonH6495 to them that are boundH631;
To proclaimH7121 the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORDH3068, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162 all that mournH57;
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
And they shall buildH1129 the oldH5769 wastesH2723, they shall raise upH6965 the formerH7223 desolationsH8074, and they shall repairH2318 the wasteH2721 citiesH5892, the desolationsH8074 of manyH1755 generationsH1755.
And strangersH2114 shall standH5975 and feedH7462 your flocksH6629, and the sonsH1121 of the alienH5236 shall be your plowmenH406 and your vinedressersH3755.
But ye shall be namedH7121 the PriestsH3548 of the LORDH3068: men shall callH559 you the MinistersH8334 of our GodH430: ye shall eatH398 the richesH2428 of the GentilesH1471, and in their gloryH3519 shall ye boastH3235 yourselves.
For your shameH1322 ye shall have doubleH4932; and for confusionH3639 they shall rejoiceH7442 in their portionH2506: therefore in their landH776 they shall possessH3423 the doubleH4932: everlastingH5769 joyH8057 shall be unto them.
For I the LORDH3068 loveH157 judgmentH4941, I hateH8130 robberyH1498 for burnt offeringH5930; and I will directH5414 their workH6468 in truthH571, and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them.
And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the GentilesH1471, and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledgeH5234 them, that they are the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288.
I will greatlyH7797 rejoiceH7797 in the LORDH3068, my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523 in my GodH430; for he hath clothedH3847 me with the garmentsH899 of salvationH3468, he hath coveredH3271 me with the robeH4598 of righteousnessH6666, as a bridegroomH2860 deckethH3547 himself with ornamentsH6287, and as a brideH3618 adornethH5710 herself with her jewelsH3627. {decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest}
For as the earthH776 bringeth forthH3318 her budH6780, and as the gardenH1593 causeth the things that are sownH2221 in it to spring forthH6779; so the LordH136 GODH3069 will cause righteousnessH6666 and praiseH8416 to spring forthH6779 before all the nationsH1471.
For Zion'sH6726 sake will I not hold my peaceH2814, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake I will not restH8252, until the righteousnessH6664 thereof go forthH3318 as brightnessH5051, and the salvationH3444 thereof as a lampH3940 that burnethH1197.
And the GentilesH1471 shall seeH7200 thy righteousnessH6664, and all kingsH4428 thy gloryH3519: and thou shalt be calledH7121 by a newH2319 nameH5344, which the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 shall nameH8034.
Thou shalt also be a crownH5850 of gloryH8597 in the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, and a royalH4410 diademH6797+H6797 in the handH3709 of thy GodH430.
Thou shalt no more be termedH559 ForsakenH5800; neither shall thy landH776 any more be termedH559 DesolateH8077: but thou shalt be calledH7121 HephzibahH2657, and thy landH776 BeulahH1166: for the LORDH3068 delightethH2654 in thee, and thy landH776 shall be marriedH1166. {Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her} {Beulah: that is, Married}
For as a young manH970 marriethH1166 a virginH1330, so shall thy sonsH1121 marryH1166 thee: and as the bridegroomH2860 rejoicethH4885 over the brideH3618, so shall thy GodH430 rejoiceH7797 over thee. {as the…: Heb. with the joy of the bridegroom}
I have setH6485 watchmenH8104 upon thy wallsH2346, O JerusalemH3389, which shall neverH8548 hold their peaceH2814 dayH3117 nor nightH3915: ye that make mentionH2142 of the LORDH3068, keep not silenceH1824, {make…: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}
And giveH5414 him no restH1824, till he establishH3559, and till he makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a praiseH8416 in the earthH776. {rest: Heb. silence}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 by his right handH3225, and by the armH2220 of his strengthH5797, Surely I willH518 no more giveH5414 thy cornH1715 to be meatH3978 for thine enemiesH341; and the sonsH1121 of the strangerH5236 shall not drinkH8354 thy wineH8492, for the which thou hast labouredH3021: {Surely…: Heb. If I give, etc}
But they that have gatheredH622 it shall eatH398 it, and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068; and they that have brought it togetherH6908 shall drinkH8354 it in the courtsH2691 of my holinessH6944.
Go throughH5674, go throughH5674 the gatesH8179; prepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the peopleH5971; cast upH5549, cast upH5549 the highwayH4546; gather outH5619 the stonesH68; lift upH7311 a standardH5251 for the peopleH5971.
Behold, the LORDH3068 hath proclaimedH8085 unto the endH7097 of the worldH776, SayH559 ye to the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, Behold, thy salvationH3468 comethH935; behold, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his workH6468 beforeH6440 him. {work: or, recompence}
And they shall callH7121 them, The holyH6944 peopleH5971, The redeemedH1350 of the LORDH3068: and thou shalt be calledH7121, Sought outH1875, A cityH5892 not forsakenH5800.
That he who blessethH1288 himself in the earthH776 shall blessH1288 himself in the GodH430 of truthH543; and he that swearethH7650 in the earthH776 shall swearH7650 by the GodH430 of truthH543; because the formerH7223 troublesH6869 are forgottenH7911, and because they are hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869.
For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776: and the formerH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mindH3820. {come…: Heb. come upon the heart}
But be ye gladH7797 and rejoiceH1523 for everH5703 in that which I createH1254: for, behold, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 a rejoicingH1525, and her peopleH5971 a joyH4885.
And I will rejoiceH1523 in JerusalemH3389, and joyH7797 in my peopleH5971: and the voiceH6963 of weepingH1065 shall be no more heardH8085 in her, nor the voiceH6963 of cryingH2201.
There shall be no more thence an infantH5764 of daysH3117, nor an old manH2205 that hath not filledH4390 his daysH3117: for the childH5288 shall dieH4191 an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121; but the sinnerH2398 being an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shall be accursedH7043.
And they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
They shall not buildH1129, and anotherH312 inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and anotherH312 eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086 the workH4639 of their handsH3027. {shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
They shall not labourH3021 in vainH7385, nor bring forthH3205 for troubleH928; for they are the seedH2233 of the blessedH1288 of the LORDH3068, and their offspringH6631 with them.
And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yet speakingH1696, I will hearH8085.
The wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 shall feedH7462 togetherH259, and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the bullockH1241: and dustH6083 shall be the serpent'sH5175 meatH3899. They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye that trembleH2730 at his wordH1697; Your brethrenH251 that hatedH8130 you, that cast you outH5077 for my name'sH8034 sake, saidH559, Let the LORDH3068 be glorifiedH3513: but he shall appearH7200 to your joyH8057, and they shall be ashamedH954.
A voiceH6963 of noiseH7588 from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 that renderethH7999 recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341.
Before she travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205; before her painH2256 cameH935, she was deliveredH4422 of a man childH2145.
Who hath heardH8085 such a thing? who hath seenH7200 such things? Shall the earthH776 be made to bring forthH2342 in oneH259 dayH3117? or shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205 at onceH6471? for as soon asH1571 ZionH6726 travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205 her childrenH1121.
Shall I bring to the birthH7665, and not cause to bring forthH3205? saithH559 the LORDH3068: shall IH589 cause to bring forthH3205, and shutH6113 the womb? saithH559 thy GodH430. {not…: or, not beget?}
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
That ye may suckH3243, and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of her consolationsH8575; that ye may milk outH4711, and be delightedH6026 with the abundanceH2123 of her gloryH3519. {abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the GentilesH1471 like a flowingH7857 streamH5158: then shall ye suckH3243, ye shall be borneH5375 upon her sidesH6654, and be dandledH8173 upon her kneesH1290.
As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comfortethH5162, so will I comfortH5162 you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.
And when ye seeH7200 this, your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourishH6524 like an herbH1877: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 toward his servantsH5650, and his indignationH2194 toward his enemiesH341.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784, and with his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwindH5492, to renderH7725 his angerH639 with furyH2534, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.
For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will the LORDH3068 pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be manyH7231.
They that sanctifyH6942 themselves, and purifyH2891 themselves in the gardensH1593 behindH310 oneH259 tree in the midstH8432, eatingH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and the abominationH8263, and the mouseH5909, shall be consumedH5486 togetherH3162, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {behind…: or, one after another}
For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: it shall comeH935, that I will gatherH6908 all nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and seeH7200 my gloryH3519.
And I will setH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 those that escapeH6412 of them unto the nationsH1471, to TarshishH8659, PulH6322, and LudH3865, that drawH4900 the bowH7198, to TubalH8422, and JavanH3120, to the islesH339 afar offH7350, that have not heardH8085 my fameH8088, neither have seenH7200 my gloryH3519; and they shall declareH5046 my gloryH3519 among the GentilesH1471.
And they shall bringH935 all your brethrenH251 for an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in littersH6632, and upon mulesH6505, and upon swift beastsH3753, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saithH559 the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {litters: or, coaches}
And I will also takeH3947 of them for priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
And it shall come to pass, that fromH1767 one new moonH2320 to anotherH2320, and fromH1767 one sabbathH7676 to anotherH7676, shall all fleshH1320 comeH935 to worshipH7812 beforeH6440 me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forthH3318, and lookH7200 upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586 against me: for their wormH8438 shall not dieH4191, neither shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all fleshH1320.
The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, WriteH3789 thee all the wordsH1697 that I have spokenH1696 unto thee in a bookH5612.
For, lo, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, saithH559 the LORDH3068: and I will cause them to returnH7725 to the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, and they shall possessH3423 it.
And these are the wordsH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 concerning IsraelH3478 and concerning JudahH3063.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; We have heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of tremblingH2731, of fearH6343, and not of peaceH7965. {of fear…: or, there is fear, and not peace}
AskH7592 ye now, and seeH7200 whether a manH2145 doth travail with childH3205? wherefore do I seeH7200 every manH1397 with his handsH3027 on his loinsH2504, as a woman in travailH3205, and all facesH6440 are turnedH2015 into palenessH3420? {a man: Heb. a male}
AlasH1945! for that dayH3117 is greatH1419, so thatH369 none is like it: it is even the timeH6256 of Jacob'sH3290 troubleH6869; but he shall be savedH3467 out of it.
For it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that I will breakH7665 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677, and will burstH5423 thy bondsH4147, and strangersH2114 shall no more serveH5647 themselves of him:
But they shall serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and DavidH1732 their kingH4428, whom I will raise upH6965 unto them.
Therefore fearH3372 thou not, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; neither be dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, lo, I will saveH3467 thee from afarH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and shall be in restH8252, and be quietH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729.
For I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to saveH3467 thee: though I makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all nationsH1471 whither I have scatteredH6327 thee, yet will I not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee: but I will correctH3256 thee in measureH4941, and will not leave thee altogetherH5352 unpunishedH5352.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thy bruiseH7667 is incurableH605, and thy woundH4347 is grievousH2470.
There is none to pleadH1777 thy causeH1779, that thou mayest be bound upH4205: thou hast no healingH8585 medicinesH7499. {that…: Heb. for binding up, or, pressing}
All thy loversH157 have forgottenH7911 thee; they seekH1875 thee not; for I have woundedH5221 thee with the woundH4347 of an enemyH341, with the chastisementH4148 of a cruel oneH394, for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771; because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105.
Why criestH2199 thou for thine afflictionH7667? thy sorrowH4341 is incurableH605 for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771: because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105, I have doneH6213 these things unto thee.
Therefore all they that devourH398 thee shall be devouredH398; and all thine adversariesH6862, every one of them, shall goH3212 into captivityH7628; and they that spoilH7601+H8154 thee shall be a spoilH4933, and all that preyH962 upon thee will I giveH5414 for a preyH957.
For I will restoreH5927 healthH724 unto thee, and I will healH7495 thee of thy woundsH4347, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because they calledH7121 thee an OutcastH5080, saying, This is ZionH6726, whom no man seeketh afterH1875.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of Jacob'sH3290 tentsH168, and have mercyH7355 on his dwellingplacesH4908; and the cityH5892 shall be buildedH1129 upon her own heapH8510, and the palaceH759 shall remainH3427 after the mannerH4941 thereof. {heap: or, little hill}
And out of them shall proceedH3318 thanksgivingH8426 and the voiceH6963 of them that make merryH7832: and I will multiplyH7235 them, and they shall not be fewH4591; I will also glorifyH3513 them, and they shall not be smallH6819.
Their childrenH1121 also shall be as aforetimeH6924, and their congregationH5712 shall be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 me, and I will punishH6485 all that oppressH3905 them.
And their noblesH117 shall be of themselves, and their governorH4910 shall proceedH3318 from the midstH7130 of them; and I will cause him to draw nearH7126, and he shall approachH5066 unto me: for who is this that engagedH6148 his heartH3820 to approachH5066 unto me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
Behold, the whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 goeth forthH3318 with furyH2534, a continuingH1641 whirlwindH5591: it shall fall with painH2342 upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563. {continuing: Heb. cutting} {fall…: or, remain}
The fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725, until he have doneH6213 it, and until he have performedH6965 the intentsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 it.
At the same timeH6256, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, will I be the GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The peopleH5971 which were leftH8300 of the swordH2719 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057; even IsraelH3478, when I wentH1980 to cause him to restH7280.
The LORDH3068 hath appearedH7200 of oldH7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have lovedH157 thee with an everlastingH5769 loveH160: therefore with lovingkindnessH2617 have I drawnH4900 thee. {of…: Heb. from afar} {with lovingkindness…: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee}
Again I will buildH1129 thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710 with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318 in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832. {tabrets: or, timbrels}
Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490. {eat…: Heb. profane them}
For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341 upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121, AriseH6965 ye, and let us go upH5927 to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SingH7442 with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670 among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085 ye, praiseH1984 ye, and sayH559, O LORDH3068, saveH3467 thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478.
Behold, I will bringH935 them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908 them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205 togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thither.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046 it in the islesH339 afar offH4801, and sayH559, He that scatteredH2219 IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908 him, and keepH8104 him, as a shepherdH7462 doth his flockH5739.
For the LORDH3068 hath redeemedH6299 JacobH3290, and ransomedH1350 him from the handH3027 of him that was strongerH2389 than he.
Therefore they shall comeH935 and singH7442 in the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flow togetherH5102 to the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068, for wheatH1715, and for wineH8492, and for oilH3323, and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241: and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588; and they shall not sorrowH1669 any moreH3254 at all.
Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055 in the danceH4234, both young menH970 and oldH2205 togetherH3162: for I will turnH2015 their mourningH60 into joyH8342, and will comfortH5162 them, and make them rejoiceH8055 from their sorrowH3015.
And I will satiateH7301 the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646 with my goodnessH2898, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; A voiceH6963 was heardH8085 in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065; RahelH7354 weepingH1058 for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162 for her childrenH1121, because they were not.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; RefrainH4513 thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832: for thy workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall come againH7725 from the landH776 of the enemyH341.
And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725 to their own borderH1366.
I have surelyH8085 heardH8085 EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256 me, and I was chastisedH3256, as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808+H3925 to the yoke: turnH7725 thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430.
Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725, I repentedH5162; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045, I smoteH5606 upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954, yea, even confoundedH3637, because I did bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271.
Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696 against him, I do earnestlyH2142 rememberH2142 him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993 for him; I will surelyH7355 have mercyH7355 upon him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {are…: Heb. sound}
Set thee upH5324 waymarksH6725, makeH7760 thee high heapsH8564: setH7896 thine heartH3820 toward the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 which thou wentestH1980: turn againH7725, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 to these thy citiesH5892.
How long wilt thou go aboutH2559, O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254 a new thingH2319 in the earthH776, A womanH5347 shall compassH5437 a manH1397.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559 this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725 their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944.
And there shall dwellH3427 in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof togetherH3162, husbandmenH406, and they that go forthH5265 with flocksH5739.
For I have satiatedH7301 the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and I have replenishedH4390 every sorrowfulH1669 soulH5315.
Upon this I awakedH6974, and beheldH7200; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto me.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sowH2232 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120, and with the seedH2233 of beastH929.
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched overH8245 them, to pluck upH5428, and to break downH5422, and to throw downH2040, and to destroyH6, and to afflictH7489; so will I watch overH8245 them, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
In those daysH3117 they shall sayH559 no more, The fathersH1 have eatenH398 a sour grapeH1155, and the children'sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edgeH6949.
But every oneH376 shall dieH4191 for his own iniquityH5771: every manH120 that eatethH398 the sour grapeH1155, his teethH8127 shall be set on edgeH6949.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, which givethH5414 the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280 the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034:
If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185 from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673 from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for everH3117.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measuredH4058, and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713 beneathH4295, I will also cast offH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have doneH6213, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129 to the LORDH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the cornerH6438.
And the measuringH4060 lineH6957+H6961 shall yet go forthH3318 over against it upon the hillH1389 GarebH1619, and shall compass aboutH5437 to GoathH1601.
And the whole valleyH6010 of the dead bodiesH6297, and of the ashesH1880, and all the fieldsH7709+H8309 unto the brookH5158 of KidronH6939, unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 toward the eastH4217, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; it shall not be plucked upH5428, nor thrown downH2040 any more for everH5769.
Behold, I will gather them outH6908 of all countriesH776, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110; and I will bring them againH7725 unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safelyH983:
And they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430:
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for everH3117, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
And I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turn awayH7725 from themH310, to do them goodH3190; but I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they shall not departH5493 from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
Yea, I will rejoiceH7797 over them to do them goodH2895, and I will plantH5193 them in this landH776 assuredlyH571 with my whole heartH3820 and with my whole soulH5315. {assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Like as I have broughtH935 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, so will I bringH935 upon them all the goodH2896 that I have promisedH1696 them.
And fieldsH7704 shall be boughtH7069 in this landH776, whereof ye sayH559, It is desolateH8077 without manH120 or beastH929; it is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
Men shall buyH7069 fieldsH7704 for moneyH3701, and subscribeH3789 evidencesH5612, and sealH2856 them, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, and in the citiesH5892 of the valleyH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414 the secondH8145 time, while he was yet shut upH6113 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 the makerH6213 thereof, the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 it, to establishH3559 it; the LORDH3068 is his nameH8034; {the LORD is: or, JEHOVAH, etc}
CallH7121 unto me, and I will answerH6030 thee, and shewH5046 thee greatH1419 and mighty thingsH1219, which thou knowestH3045 not. {mighty: or, hidden}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning the housesH1004 of this cityH5892, and concerning the housesH1004 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which are thrown downH5422 by the mountsH5550, and by the swordH2719;
They comeH935 to fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778, but it is to fillH4390 them with the dead bodiesH6297 of menH120, whom I have slainH5221 in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and for all whose wickednessH7451 I have hidH5641 my faceH6440 from this cityH5892.
Behold, I will bringH5927 it healthH724 and cureH4832, and I will cureH7495 them, and will revealH1540 unto them the abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truthH571.
And I will cause the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and the captivityH7622 of IsraelH3478 to returnH7725, and will buildH1129 them, as at the firstH7223.
And I will cleanseH2891 them from all their iniquityH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398 against me; and I will pardonH5545 all their iniquitiesH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398, and whereby they have transgressedH6586 against me.
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joyH8342, a praiseH8416 and an honourH8597 before all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776, which shall hearH8085 all the goodH2896 that I doH6213 unto them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for all the goodnessH2896 and for all the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 unto it.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Again there shall be heardH8085 in this placeH4725, which ye sayH559 shall be desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, even in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, that are desolateH8074, without manH120, and without inhabitantH3427, and without beastH929,
The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the landH776, as at the firstH7223, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Again in this placeH4725, which is desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof, shall be an habitationH5116 of shepherdsH7462 causing their flocksH6629 to lie downH7257.
In the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, in the citiesH5892 of the valeH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045, and in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, shall the flocksH6629 pass againH5674 under the handsH3027 of him that tellethH4487 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will performH6965 that goodH2896 thingH1697 which I have promisedH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {David…: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
Neither shall the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 wantH3772 a manH376 beforeH6440 me to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to kindleH6999 meat offeringsH4503, and to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 continuallyH3117.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If ye can breakH6565 my covenantH1285 of the dayH3117, and my covenantH1285 of the nightH3915, and that there should not be dayH3119 and nightH3915 in their seasonH6256;
Then may also my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servantH5650, that he should not have a sonH1121 to reignH4427 upon his throneH3678; and with the LevitesH3881 the priestsH3548, my ministersH8334.
As the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannot be numberedH5608, neither the sandH2344 of the seaH3220 measuredH4058: so will I multiplyH7235 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732 my servantH5650, and the LevitesH3881 that ministerH8334 unto me.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I, even I, will both searchH1875 my sheepH6629, and seek them outH1239.
As a shepherdH7462 seeketh outH1243 his flockH5739 in the dayH3117 that he is amongH8432 his sheepH6629 that are scatteredH6567; so will I seek outH1239 my sheepH6629, and will deliverH5337 them out of all placesH4725 where they have been scatteredH6327 in the cloudyH6051 and darkH6205 dayH3117. {As…: Heb. According to the seeking}
And I will bring them outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 them from the countriesH776, and will bringH935 them to their own landH127, and feedH7462 them upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 by the riversH650, and in all the inhabited placesH4186 of the countryH776.
I will feedH7462 them in a goodH2896 pastureH4829, and upon the highH4791 mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall their foldH5116 be: there shall they lieH7257 in a goodH2896 foldH5116, and in a fatH8082 pastureH4829 shall they feedH7462 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478.
I will feedH7462 my flockH6629, and I will cause them to lie downH7257, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
I will seekH1245 that which was lostH6, and bring againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, and will bind upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, and will strengthenH2388 that which was sickH2470: but I will destroyH8045 the fatH8082 and the strongH2389; I will feedH7462 them with judgmentH4941.
And as for youH859, O my flockH6629, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716, between the ramsH352 and the he goatsH6260. {cattle: Heb. small cattle of lambs and kids} {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
Seemeth it a small thingH4592 unto you to have eaten upH7462 the goodH2896 pastureH4829, but ye must tread downH7429 with your feetH7272 the residueH3499 of your pasturesH4829? and to have drunkH8354 of the deepH4950 watersH4325, but ye must foulH7515 the residueH3498 with your feetH7272?
And as for my flockH6629, they eatH7462 that which ye have troddenH4823 with your feetH7272; and they drinkH8354 that which ye have fouledH4833 with your feetH7272.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judgeH8199 between the fatH1274 cattleH7716 and between the leanH7330 cattleH7716.
Because ye have thrustH1920 with sideH6654 and with shoulderH3802, and pushedH5055 all the diseasedH2470 with your hornsH7161, till ye have scatteredH6327 them abroadH2351;
Therefore will I saveH3467 my flockH6629, and they shall no more be a preyH957; and I will judgeH8199 between cattleH7716 and cattleH7716.
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 yeH859 my flockH6629, the flockH6629 of my pastureH4830, are menH120, and I am your GodH430, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 unto the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559, Ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the enemyH341 hath saidH559 against you, AhaH1889, even the ancientH5769 high placesH1116 are ours in possessionH4181:
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they have made you desolateH8074, and swallowed you upH7602 on every sideH5439, that ye might be a possessionH4181 unto the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and ye are taken upH5927 in the lipsH8193 of talkersH3956, and are an infamyH1681 of the peopleH5971: {Because: Heb. Because for because} {are…: or, ye are made to come up on the lip of the tongue}
Therefore, ye mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, to the desolateH8074 wastesH2723, and to the citiesH5892 that are forsakenH5800, which became a preyH957 and derisionH3933 to the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439; {rivers: or, bottoms, or, dales}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
ProphesyH5012 therefore concerning the landH127 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto the mountainsH2022, and to the hillsH1389, to the riversH650, and to the valleysH1516, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I have spokenH1696 in my jealousyH7068 and in my furyH2534, because ye have borneH5375 the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I have lifted upH5375 mine handH3027, Surely the heathenH1471 that are aboutH5439 you, they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639.
But ye, O mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, ye shall shoot forthH5414 your branchesH6057, and yieldH5375 your fruitH6529 to my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; for they are at handH7126 to comeH935.
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turnH6437 unto you, and ye shall be tilledH5647 and sownH2232:
And I will multiplyH7235 menH120 upon you, all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, even all of it: and the citiesH5892 shall be inhabitedH3427, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129:
And I will multiplyH7235 upon you manH120 and beastH929; and they shall increaseH7235 and bring fruitH6509: and I will settleH3427 you after your old estatesH6927, and will do betterH2895 unto you than at your beginningsH7221: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Yea, I will cause menH120 to walkH3212 upon you, even my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and they shall possessH3423 thee, and thou shalt be their inheritanceH5159, and thou shalt no moreH3254 henceforth bereaveH7921 them of men.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because they sayH559 unto you, Thou land devourest upH398 menH120, and hast bereavedH7921 thy nationsH1471;
Therefore thou shalt devourH398 menH120 no more, neither bereaveH7921+H3782 thy nationsH1471 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {bereave: or, cause to fall}
Neither will I cause men to hearH8085 in thee the shameH3639 of the heathenH1471 any more, neither shalt thou bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of the peopleH5971 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nationsH1471 to fallH3782 any more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in their own landH127, they defiledH2930 it by their own wayH1870 and by their doingsH5949: their wayH1870 was beforeH6440 me as the uncleannessH2932 of a removed womanH5079.
Wherefore I pouredH8210 my furyH2534 upon them for the bloodH1818 that they had shedH8210 upon the landH776, and for their idolsH1544 wherewith they had pollutedH2930 it:
And I scatteredH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and they were dispersedH2219 through the countriesH776: according to their wayH1870 and according to their doingsH5949 I judgedH8199 them.
And when they enteredH935 unto the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935, they profanedH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034, when they saidH559 to them, These are the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068, and are gone forthH3318 out of his landH776.
But I had pityH2550 for mine holyH6944 nameH8034, which the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 had profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither they wentH935.
Therefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I doH6213 not this for your sakes, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, but for mine holyH6944 name'sH8034 sake, which ye have profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, whither ye wentH935.
And I will sanctifyH6942 my greatH1419 nameH8034, which was profanedH2490 among the heathenH1471, which ye have profanedH2490 in the midstH8432 of them; and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in you before their eyesH5869. {their: or, your}
For I will takeH3947 you from amongH4480 the heathenH1471, and gatherH6908 you out of all countriesH776, and will bringH935 you into your own landH127.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
A newH2319 heartH3820 also will I giveH5414 you, and a newH2319 spiritH7307 will I putH5414 withinH7130 you: and I will take awayH5493 the stonyH68 heartH3820 out of your fleshH1320, and I will giveH5414 you an heartH3820 of fleshH1320.
And I will putH5414 my spiritH7307 withinH7130 you, and causeH6213 you to walkH3212 in my statutesH2706, and ye shall keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them.
And ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1; and ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
I will also saveH3467 you from all your uncleannessesH2932: and I will callH7121 for the cornH1715, and will increaseH7235 it, and layH5414 no famineH7458 upon you.
And I will multiplyH7235 the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, and the increaseH8570 of the fieldH7704, that ye shall receiveH3947 no more reproachH2781 of famineH7458 among the heathenH1471.
Then shall ye rememberH2142 your own evilH7451 waysH1870, and your doingsH4611 that were not goodH2896, and shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for your iniquitiesH5771 and for your abominationsH8441.
Not for your sakes doH6213 I this, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, be it knownH3045 unto you: be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for your own waysH1870, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 that I shall have cleansedH2891 you from all your iniquitiesH5771 I will also cause you to dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892, and the wastesH2723 shall be buildedH1129.
And the desolateH8074 landH776 shall be tilledH5647, whereas it lay desolateH8077 in the sightH5869 of all that passed byH5674.
And they shall sayH559, ThisH1977 landH776 that was desolateH8074 is become like the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731; and the wasteH2720 and desolateH8074 and ruinedH2040 citiesH5892 are become fencedH1219, and are inhabitedH3427.
Then the heathenH1471 that are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolateH8074: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will yet for this be enquiredH1875 of by the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to doH6213 it for them; I will increaseH7235 them with menH120 like a flockH6629.
As the holyH6944 flockH6629, as the flockH6629 of JerusalemH3389 in her solemn feastsH4150; so shall the wasteH2720 citiesH5892 be filledH4392 with flocksH6629 of menH120: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {holy…: Heb. flock of holy things}
The handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and carried me outH3318 in the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and set me downH5117 in the midstH8432 of the valleyH1237 which was fullH4392 of bonesH6106,
And caused me to passH5674 by them round aboutH5439: and, behold, there were veryH3966 manyH7227 in the openH6440 valleyH1237; and, lo, they were veryH3966 dryH3002. {valley: or, champaign}
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, can these bonesH6106 liveH2421? And I answeredH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, thou knowestH3045.
Again he saidH559 unto me, ProphesyH5012 upon these bonesH6106, and sayH559 unto them, O ye dryH3002 bonesH6106, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto these bonesH6106; Behold, I will cause breathH7307 to enterH935 into you, and ye shall liveH2421:
And I will layH5414 sinewsH1517 upon you, and will bring upH5927 fleshH1320 upon you, and coverH7159 you with skinH5785, and putH5414 breathH7307 in you, and ye shall liveH2421; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
So I prophesiedH5012 as I was commandedH6680: and as I prophesiedH5012, there was a noiseH6963, and behold a shakingH7494, and the bonesH6106 came togetherH7126, boneH6106 to his boneH6106.
And when I beheldH7200, lo, the sinewsH1517 and the fleshH1320 came upH5927 upon them, and the skinH5785 coveredH7159 them aboveH4605: but there was no breathH7307 in them.
Then saidH559 he unto me, ProphesyH5012 unto the windH7307, prophesyH5012, sonH1121 of manH120, and sayH559 to the windH7307, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; ComeH935 from the fourH702 windsH7307, O breathH7307, and breatheH5301 upon these slainH2026, that they may liveH2421. {wind: or, breath}
So I prophesiedH5012 as he commandedH6680 me, and the breathH7307 cameH935 into them, and they livedH2421, and stood upH5975 upon their feetH7272, an exceedingH3966+H3966 greatH1419 armyH2428.
Then he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these bonesH6106 are the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: behold, they sayH559, Our bonesH6106 are driedH3001, and our hopeH8615 is lostH6: we are cut offH1504 for our parts.
Therefore prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, O my peopleH5971, I will openH6605 your gravesH6913, and cause you to come upH5927 out of your gravesH6913, and bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have openedH6605 your gravesH6913, O my peopleH5971, and brought you upH5927 out of your gravesH6913,
And shall putH5414 my spiritH7307 in you, and ye shall liveH2421, and I shall placeH3240 you in your own landH127: then shall ye knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and performedH6213 it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
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:
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.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against GogH1463, the landH776 of MagogH4031, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422, and prophesyH5012 against him, {the chief…: or, prince of the chief}
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and putH5414 hooksH2397 into thy jawsH3895, and I will bring thee forthH3318, and all thine armyH2428, horsesH5483 and horsemenH6571, all of them clothedH3847 with all sortsH4358 of armour, even a greatH7227 companyH6951 with bucklersH6793 and shieldsH4043, all of them handlingH8610 swordsH2719:
PersiaH6539, EthiopiaH3568, and LibyaH6316 with them; all of them with shieldH4043 and helmetH3553: {Libya: or, Phut}
GomerH1586, and all his bandsH102; the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 of the northH6828 quartersH3411, and all his bandsH102: and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Be thou preparedH3559, and prepareH3559 for thyself, thou, and all thy companyH6951 that are assembledH6950 unto thee, and be thou a guardH4929 unto them.
After manyH7227 daysH3117 thou shalt be visitedH6485: in the latterH319 yearsH8141 thou shalt comeH935 into the landH776 that is brought backH7725 from the swordH2719, and is gatheredH6908 out of manyH7227 peopleH5971, against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, which have been alwaysH8548 wasteH2723: but it is brought forthH3318 out of the nationsH5971, and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 all of them.
Thou shalt ascendH5927 and comeH935 like a stormH7722, thou shalt be like a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; It shall also come to pass, that at the same timeH3117 shall thingsH1697 comeH5927 into thy mindH3824, and thou shalt thinkH2803 an evilH7451 thoughtH4284: {think…: or, conceive a mischievous purpose}
And thou shalt sayH559, I will go upH5927 to the landH776 of unwalled villagesH6519; I will goH935 to them that are at restH8252, that dwellH3427 safelyH983, all of them dwellingH3427 without wallsH2346, and having neither barsH1280 nor gatesH1817, {safely: or, confidently}
To takeH7997 a spoilH7998, and to takeH962 a preyH957; to turnH7725 thine handH3027 upon the desolate placesH2723 that are now inhabitedH3427, and upon the peopleH5971 that are gatheredH622 out of the nationsH1471, which have gottenH6213 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, that dwellH3427 in the midstH2872 of the landH776. {To take…: Heb. To spoil the spoil, and to prey the prey} {midst: Heb. navel}
ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719, and the merchantsH5503 of TarshishH8659, with all the young lionsH3715 thereof, shall sayH559 unto thee, Art thou comeH935 to takeH7997 a spoilH7998? hast thou gatheredH6950 thy companyH6951 to takeH962 a preyH957? to carry awayH5375 silverH3701 and goldH2091, to take awayH3947 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, to takeH7997 a greatH1419 spoilH7998?
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto GogH1463, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In that dayH3117 when my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dwellethH3427 safelyH983, shalt thou not knowH3045 it?
And thou shalt comeH935 from thy placeH4725 out of the northH6828 partsH3411, thou, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, a greatH1419 companyH6951, and a mightyH7227 armyH2428:
And thou shalt come upH5927 against my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, as a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776; it shall be in the latterH319 daysH3117, and I will bringH935 thee against my landH776, that the heathenH1471 may knowH3045 me, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in thee, O GogH1463, before their eyesH5869.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Art thou he of whom I have spokenH1696 in oldH6931 timeH3117 byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478, which prophesiedH5012 in those daysH3117 many yearsH8141 that I would bringH935 thee against them? {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it shall come to pass at the same timeH3117 whenH3117 GogH1463 shall comeH935 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that my furyH2534 shall come upH5927 in my faceH639.
For in my jealousyH7068 and in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678 have I spokenH1696, Surely in that dayH3117 there shall be a greatH1419 shakingH7494 in the landH127 of IsraelH3478;
So that the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and all creeping thingsH7431 that creepH7430 upon the earthH127, and all the menH120 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127, shall shakeH7493 at my presenceH6440, and the mountainsH2022 shall be thrown downH2040, and the steep placesH4095 shall fallH5307, and every wallH2346 shall fallH5307 to the groundH776. {steep…: or, towers, or, stairs}
And I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 against him throughout all my mountainsH2022, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: every man'sH376 swordH2719 shall be against his brotherH251.
And I will pleadH8199 against him with pestilenceH1698 and with bloodH1818; and I will rainH4305 upon him, and upon his bandsH102, and upon the manyH7227 peopleH5971 that are with him, an overflowingH7857 rainH1653, and great hailstonesH417+H68, fireH784, and brimstoneH1614.
Thus will I magnifyH1431 myself, and sanctifyH6942 myself; and I will be knownH3045 in the eyesH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471, and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against GogH1463, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and leave but the sixth partH8338 of thee, and will cause thee to come upH5927 from the northH6828 partsH3411, and will bringH935 thee upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478: {leave…: or, strike thee with six plagues: or, draw thee back with an hook of six teeth} {the north…: Heb. the sides of the north}
And I will smiteH5221 thy bowH7198 out of thy leftH8040 handH3027, and will cause thine arrowsH2671 to fallH5307 out of thy rightH3225 handH3027.
Thou shalt fallH5307 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and the peopleH5971 that is with thee: I will giveH5414 thee unto the ravenousH5861 birdsH6833 of every sortH3671, and to the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 to be devouredH402. {sort: Heb. wing} {to be…: Heb. to devour}
Thou shalt fallH5307 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {the open…: Heb. the face of the field}
And I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on MagogH4031, and among them that dwellH3427 carelesslyH983 in the islesH339: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {carelessly: or, confidently}
So will I make my holyH6944 nameH8034 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not let them polluteH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034 any more: and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 in IsraelH3478.
Behold, it is comeH935, and it is doneH1961, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069; this is the dayH3117 whereof I have spokenH1696.
And they that dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478 shall go forthH3318, and shall setH1197 on fireH784 and burnH5400 the weaponsH5402, both the shieldsH4043 and the bucklersH6793, the bowsH7198 and the arrowsH2671, and the handstavesH3027+H4731, and the spearsH7420, and they shall burnH1197 them with fireH784 sevenH7651 yearsH8141: {handstaves: or, javelins} {burn them…: or, make a fire of them}
So that they shall takeH5375 no woodH6086 out of the fieldH7704, neither cut downH2404 any out of the forestsH3293; for they shall burnH1197 the weaponsH5402 with fireH784: and they shall spoilH7997 those that spoiledH7997 them, and robH962 those that robbedH962 them, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will giveH5414 unto GogH1463 a placeH4725 there of gravesH6913 in IsraelH3478, the valleyH1516 of the passengersH5674 on the eastH6926 of the seaH3220: and it shall stopH2629 the noses of the passengersH5674: and there shall they buryH6912 GogH1463 and all his multitudeH1995: and they shall callH7121 it The valleyH1516 of HamongogH1996. {noses: or, mouths} {Hamongog: that is, The multitude of Gog}
And sevenH7651 monthsH2320 shall the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 be buryingH6912 of them, that they may cleanseH2891 the landH776.
Yea, all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 shall buryH6912 them; and it shall be to them a renownH8034 the dayH3117 that I shall be glorifiedH3513, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And they shall sever outH914 menH582 of continual employmentH8548, passing throughH5674 the landH776 to buryH6912 with the passengersH5674 those that remainH3498 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776, to cleanseH2891 it: after the endH7097 of sevenH7651 monthsH2320 shall they searchH2713. {men…: Heb. men of continuance}
And the passengersH5674 that pass throughH5674 the landH776, when any seethH7200 a man'sH120 boneH6106, then shall he set upH1129 a signH6725 byH681 it, till the buriersH6912 have buriedH6912 it in the valleyH1516 of HamongogH1996. {set up: Heb. build}
And also the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 shall be HamonahH1997. Thus shall they cleanseH2891 the landH776. {Hamonah: that is, The multitude}
And, thou sonH1121 of manH120, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; SpeakH559 unto every featheredH3671 fowlH6833, and to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, AssembleH6908 yourselves, and comeH935; gatherH622 yourselves on every sideH5439 to my sacrificeH2077 that I do sacrificeH2076 for you, even a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, that ye may eatH398 fleshH1320, and drinkH8354 bloodH1818. {unto…: Heb. to the fowl of every wing} {my sacrifice: or, my slaughter}
Ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the mightyH1368, and drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the princesH5387 of the earthH776, of ramsH352, of lambsH3733, and of goatsH6260, of bullocksH6499, all of them fatlingsH4806 of BashanH1316. {goats: Heb. great goats}
And ye shall eatH398 fatH2459 till ye be fullH7654, and drinkH8354 bloodH1818 till ye be drunkenH7943, of my sacrificeH2077 which I have sacrificedH2076 for you.
Thus ye shall be filledH7646 at my tableH7979 with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, with mighty menH1368, and with all menH376 of warH4421, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will setH5414 my gloryH3519 among the heathenH1471, and all the heathenH1471 shall seeH7200 my judgmentH4941 that I have executedH6213, and my handH3027 that I have laidH7760 upon them.
So the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 went into captivityH1540 for their iniquityH5771: because they trespassedH4603 against me, therefore hidH5641 I my faceH6440 from them, and gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862: so fellH5307 they all by the swordH2719.
According to their uncleannessH2932 and according to their transgressionsH6588 have I doneH6213 unto them, and hidH5641 my faceH6440 from them.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Now will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JacobH3290, and have mercyH7355 upon the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and will be jealousH7065 for my holyH6944 nameH8034;
After that they have borneH5375 their shameH3639, and all their trespassesH4604 whereby they have trespassedH4603 against me, when they dweltH3427 safelyH983 in their landH127, and none made them afraidH2729.
When I have brought them againH7725 from the peopleH5971, and gatheredH6908 them out of their enemies'H341 landsH776, and am sanctifiedH6942 in them in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471;
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which caused them to be led into captivityH1540 among the heathenH1471: but I have gatheredH3664 them unto their own landH127, and have leftH3498 none of them any more there. {which…: Heb. by my causing of them, etc}
Neither will I hideH5641 my faceH6440 any more from them: for I have poured outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
For, behold, in those daysH3117, and in that timeH6256, when I shall bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389,
I will also gatherH6908 all nationsH1471, and will bring them downH3381 into the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092, and will pleadH8199 with them there for my peopleH5971 and for my heritageH5159 IsraelH3478, whom they have scatteredH6340 among the nationsH1471, and partedH2505 my landH776.
And they have castH3032 lotsH1486 for my peopleH5971; and have givenH5414 a boyH3206 for an harlotH2181, and soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196, that they might drinkH8354.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TyreH6865, and ZidonH6721, and all the coastsH1552 of PalestineH6429? will ye renderH7999 me a recompenceH1576? and if ye recompenseH1580 me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 will I returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218;
Because ye have takenH3947 my silverH3701 and my goldH2091, and have carriedH935 into your templesH1964 my goodlyH2896 pleasant thingsH4261: {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The childrenH1121 also of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JerusalemH3389 have ye soldH4376 unto the GreciansH3125+H1121, that ye might remove them farH7368 from their borderH1366. {the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}
Behold, I will raiseH5782 them out of the placeH4725 whither ye have soldH4376 them, and will returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218:
And I will sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and they shall sellH4376 them to the SabeansH7615, to a peopleH1471 far offH7350: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
ProclaimH7121 ye this among the GentilesH1471; PrepareH6942 warH4421, wake upH5782 the mighty menH1368, let all the menH582 of warH4421 draw nearH5066; let them come upH5927: {Prepare: Heb. Sanctify}
BeatH3807 your plowsharesH855 into swordsH2719, and your pruninghooksH4211 into spearsH7420: let the weakH2523 sayH559, I am strongH1368. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
AssembleH5789 yourselves, and comeH935, all ye heathenH1471, and gather yourselves togetherH6908 round aboutH5439: thither cause thy mighty onesH1368 to come downH5181, O LORDH3068. {cause…: or, the LORD shall bring down}
Let the heathenH1471 be wakenedH5782, and come upH5927 to the valleyH6010 of JehoshaphatH3092: for there will I sitH3427 to judgeH8199 all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439.
PutH7971 ye in the sickleH4038, for the harvestH7105 is ripeH1310: comeH935, get you downH3381; for the pressH1660 is fullH4390, the fatsH3342 overflowH7783; for their wickednessH7451 is greatH7227.
MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742. {decision: or, concision, or, threshing}
The sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkenedH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051.
The LORDH3068 also shall roarH7580 out of ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 shall shakeH7493: but the LORDH3068 will be the hopeH4268 of his peopleH5971, and the strengthH4581 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {hope: Heb. place of repair, or, harbour}
So shall ye knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dwellingH7931 in ZionH6726, my holyH6944 mountainH2022: then shall JerusalemH3389 be holyH6944, and there shall no strangersH2114 pass throughH5674 her any more. {holy: Heb. holiness}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the mountainsH2022 shall drop downH5197 new wineH6071, and the hillsH1389 shall flowH3212 with milkH2461, and all the riversH650 of JudahH3063 shall flowH3212 with watersH4325, and a fountainH4599 shall come forthH3318 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and shall waterH8248 the valleyH5158 of ShittimH7851. {flow: Heb. go}
EgyptH4714 shall be a desolationH8077, and EdomH123 shall be a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, for the violenceH2555 against the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, because they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in their landH776.
But JudahH3063 shall dwellH3427 for everH5769, and JerusalemH3389 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {dwell: or, abide}
For I will cleanseH5352 their bloodH1818 that I have not cleansedH5352: for the LORDH3068 dwellethH7931 in ZionH6726. {for the…: or, even I the LORD that}
But in the lastH319 daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and it shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and peopleH5971 shall flowH5102 unto it.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall comeH1980, and sayH559, ComeH3212, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, and to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for the lawH8451 shall go forthH3318 of ZionH6726, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
And he shall judgeH8199 among manyH7227 peopleH5971, and rebukeH3198 strongH6099 nationsH1471 afar offH7350; and they shall beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowsharesH855, and their spearsH2595 into pruninghooksH4211: nationH1471 shall not lift upH5375 a swordH2719 against nationH1471, neither shall they learnH3925 warH4421 any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
But they shall sitH3427 every manH376 under his vineH1612 and under his fig treeH8384; and none shall make them afraidH2729: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath spokenH1696 it.
For all peopleH5971 will walkH3212 every oneH376 in the nameH8034 of his godH430, and we will walkH3212 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5703.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, will I assembleH622 her that haltethH6760, and I will gatherH6908 her that is driven outH5080, and her that I have afflictedH7489;
And I will makeH7760 her that haltedH6760 a remnantH7611, and her that was cast far offH1972 a strongH6099 nationH1471: and the LORDH3068 shall reignH4427 over them in mountH2022 ZionH6726 from henceforth, even forH5704 everH5769.
And thou, O towerH4026 of the flockH5739+H4029, the strong holdH6076 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, unto thee shall it comeH857, even the firstH7223 dominionH4475; the kingdomH4467 shall comeH935 to the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
Now why dost thou cryH7321 out aloudH7452? is there no kingH4428 in thee? is thy counsellorH3289 perishedH6? for pangsH2427 have takenH2388 thee as a woman in travailH3205.
Be in painH2342, and labour to bring forthH1518, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, like a woman in travailH3205: for now shalt thou go forthH3318 out of the cityH7151, and thou shalt dwellH7931 in the fieldH7704, and thou shalt goH935 even to BabylonH894; there shalt thou be deliveredH5337; there the LORDH3068 shall redeemH1350 thee from the handH3709 of thine enemiesH341.
Now also manyH7227 nationsH1471 are gatheredH622 against thee, that sayH559, Let her be defiledH2610, and let our eyeH5869 lookH2372 upon ZionH6726.
But they knowH3045 not the thoughtsH4284 of the LORDH3068, neither understandH995 they his counselH6098: for he shall gatherH6908 them as the sheavesH5995 into the floorH1637.
AriseH6965 and threshH1758, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: for I will makeH7760 thine hornH7161 ironH1270, and I will makeH7760 thy hoofsH6541 brassH5154: and thou shalt beat in piecesH1854 manyH7227 peopleH5971: and I will consecrateH2763 their gainH1215 unto the LORDH3068, and their substanceH2428 unto the LordH113 of the whole earthH776.
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
But thou, BethlehemH1035 EphratahH672, though thou be littleH6810 among the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063, yet out of thee shall he come forthH3318 unto me that is to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478; whose goings forthH4163 have been from of oldH6924, from everlastingH3117+H5769. {everlasting: Heb. the days of eternity}
Therefore will he give them upH5414, until the timeH6256 that she which travailethH3205 hath brought forthH3205: then the remnantH3499 of his brethrenH251 shall returnH7725 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he shall standH5975 and feedH7462 in the strengthH5797 of the LORDH3068, in the majestyH1347 of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; and they shall abideH3427: for now shall he be greatH1431 unto the endsH657 of the earthH776. {feed or, rule}
And this man shall be the peaceH7965, when the AssyrianH804 shall comeH935 into our landH776: and when he shall treadH1869 in our palacesH759, then shall we raiseH6965 against him sevenH7651 shepherdsH7462, and eightH8083 principalH5257 menH120. {principal: Heb. princes of}
And they shall wasteH7462 the landH776 of AssyriaH804 with the swordH2719, and the landH776 of NimrodH5248 in the entrancesH6607 thereof: thus shall he deliverH5337 us from the AssyrianH804, when he comethH935 into our landH776, and when he treadethH1869 within our bordersH1366. {waste: Heb. eat up} {in the…: or, with her own naked swords}
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORDH3068, as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212, that tarriethH6960 not for manH376, nor waitethH3176 for the sonsH1121 of menH120.
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, as a young lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629: who, if he go throughH5674, both treadeth downH7429, and teareth in piecesH2963, and none can deliverH5337. {sheep: or, goats}
Thine handH3027 shall be lifted upH7311 upon thine adversariesH6862, and all thine enemiesH341 shall be cut offH3772.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will cut offH3772 thy horsesH5483 out of the midstH7130 of thee, and I will destroyH6 thy chariotsH4818:
And I will cut offH3772 the citiesH6145+H5892 of thy landH776, and throw downH2040 all thy strong holdsH4013:
And I will cut offH3772 witchcraftsH3785 out of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayersH6049:
Thy graven imagesH6456 also will I cut offH3772, and thy standing imagesH4676 out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worshipH7812 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. {standing…: or, statues}
And I will pluck upH5428 thy grovesH842 out of the midstH7130 of thee: so will I destroyH8045 thy citiesH6145+H5892. {cities: or, enemies}
And I will executeH6213 vengeanceH5359 in angerH639 and furyH2534 upon the heathenH1471, such as they have not heardH8085.
Therefore I will lookH6822 unto the LORDH3068; I will waitH3176 for the GodH430 of my salvationH3468: my GodH430 will hearH8085 me.
RejoiceH8055 not against me, O mine enemyH341: when I fallH5307, I shall ariseH6965; when I sitH3427 in darknessH2822, the LORDH3068 shall be a lightH216 unto me.
I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of the LORDH3068, because I have sinnedH2398 against him, until he pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 for me: he will bring me forthH3318 to the lightH216, and I shall beholdH7200 his righteousnessH6666.
Then she that is mine enemyH341 shall seeH7200 it, and shameH955 shall coverH3680 her which saidH559 unto me, Where is the LORDH3068 thy GodH430? mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 her: now shall she be trodden downH4823 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351. {Then…: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame} {shall she…: Heb. she shall be for a treading down}
In the dayH3117 that thy wallsH1447 are to be builtH1129, in that dayH3117 shall the decreeH2706 be far removedH7368.
In that dayH3117 also he shall comeH935 even to thee from AssyriaH804, and from the fortifiedH4693 citiesH5892, and from the fortressH4693 even to the riverH5104, and from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from mountainH2022 to mountainH2022. {and from…cities: or, even to…cities}
Notwithstanding the landH776 shall be desolateH8077 because of them that dwellH3427 therein, for the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611. {Notwithstanding: or, After that it hath been}
FeedH7462 thy peopleH5971 with thy rodH7626, the flockH6629 of thine heritageH5159, which dwellH7931 solitarilyH910 in the woodH3293, in the midstH8432 of CarmelH3760: let them feedH7462 in BashanH1316 and GileadH1568, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769. {Feed: or, Rule}
According to the daysH3117 of thy comingH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will I shewH7200 unto him marvellousH6381 things.
The nationsH1471 shall seeH7200 and be confoundedH954 at all their mightH1369: they shall layH7760 their handH3027 upon their mouthH6310, their earsH241 shall be deafH2790.
They shall lickH3897 the dustH6083 like a serpentH5175, they shall moveH7264 out of their holesH4526 like wormsH2119 of the earthH776: they shall be afraidH6342 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and shall fearH3372 because of thee. {worms: or, creeping things}
Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
He will turn againH7725, he will have compassionH7355 upon us; he will subdueH3533 our iniquitiesH5771; and thou wilt castH7993 all their sinsH2403 into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.
Thou wilt performH5414 the truthH571 to JacobH3290, and the mercyH2617 to AbrahamH85, which thou hast swornH7650 unto our fathersH1 from the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
I lifted upH5375 mine eyesH5869 again, and lookedH7200, and behold a manH376 with a measuringH4060 lineH2256 in his handH3027.
Then saidH559 I, Whither goestH1980 thou? And he saidH559 unto me, To measureH4058 JerusalemH3389, to seeH7200 whatH4100 is the breadthH7341 thereof, and what is the lengthH753 thereof.
And, behold, the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me went forthH3318, and anotherH312 angelH4397 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him,
And saidH559 unto him, RunH7323, speakH1696 to thisH1975 young manH5288, sayingH559, JerusalemH3389 shall be inhabitedH3427 as towns without wallsH6519 for the multitudeH7230 of menH120 and cattleH929 thereinH8432:
For I, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, will be unto her a wallH2346 of fireH784 round aboutH5439, and will be the gloryH3519 in the midstH8432 of her.
HoH1945, hoH1945, come forth, and fleeH5127 from the landH776 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I have spread you abroadH6566 as the fourH702 windsH7307 of the heavenH8064, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
DeliverH4422 thyself, OH1945 ZionH6726, that dwellestH3427 with the daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AfterH310 the gloryH3519 hath he sentH7971 me unto the nationsH1471 which spoiledH7997 you: for he that touchethH5060 you touchethH5060 the appleH892 of his eyeH5869.
For, behold, I will shakeH5130 mine handH3027 upon them, and they shall be a spoilH7998 to their servantsH5647: and ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 me.
SingH7442 and rejoiceH8055, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: for, lo, I comeH935, and I will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall be joinedH3867 to the LORDH3068 in that dayH3117, and shall be my peopleH5971: and I will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of thee, and thou shalt knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 me unto thee.
And the LORDH3068 shall inheritH5157 JudahH3063 his portionH2506 in the holyH6944 landH127, and shall chooseH977 JerusalemH3389 again.
Be silentH2013, O all fleshH1320, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for he is raised upH5782 out of his holyH6944 habitationH4583. {his…: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}
And he shewedH7200 me JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 standingH5975 at his right handH3225 to resistH7853 him. {Satan: that is, an adversary} {to…: Heb. to be his adversary}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, The LORDH3068 rebukeH1605 thee, O SatanH7854; even the LORDH3068 that hath chosenH977 JerusalemH3389 rebukeH1605 thee: is not this a brandH181 pluckedH5337 out of the fireH784?
Now JoshuaH3091 was clothedH3847 with filthyH6674 garmentsH899, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397.
And he answeredH6030 and spakeH559 unto those that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, Take awayH5493 the filthyH6674 garmentsH899 from him. And unto him he saidH559, BeholdH7200, I have caused thine iniquityH5771 to passH5674 from thee, and I will clotheH3847 thee with change of raimentH4254.
And I saidH559, Let them setH7760 a fairH2889 mitreH6797 upon his headH7218. So they setH7760 a fairH2889 mitreH6797 upon his headH7218, and clothedH3847 him with garmentsH899. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stood byH5975.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 protestedH5749 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; If thou wilt walkH3212 in my waysH1870, and if thou wilt keepH8104 my chargeH4931, then thou shalt also judgeH1777 my houseH1004, and shalt also keepH8104 my courtsH2691, and I will giveH5414 thee places to walkH4108 among these that stand byH5975. {charge: or, ordinance} {places…: Heb. walks}
HearH8085 now, O JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548, thou, and thy fellowsH7453 that sitH3427 beforeH6440 thee: for they are menH582 wondered atH4159: for, behold, I will bring forthH935 my servantH5650 the BRANCHH6780. {wondered…: Heb. of wonder, or, sign}
For behold the stoneH68 that I have laidH5414 beforeH6440 JoshuaH3091; upon oneH259 stoneH68 shall be sevenH7651 eyesH5869: behold, I will engraveH6605 the gravingH6603 thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will removeH4185 the iniquityH5771 of that landH776 in oneH259 dayH3117.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall ye callH7121 every manH376 his neighbourH7453 under the vineH1612 and under the fig treeH8384.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came to me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I was jealousH7065 for ZionH6726 with greatH1419 jealousyH7068, and I was jealousH7065 for her with greatH1419 furyH2534.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 unto ZionH6726, and will dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and JerusalemH3389 shall be calledH7121 a cityH5892 of truthH571; and the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 the holyH6944 mountainH2022.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; There shall yet old menH2205 and old womenH2205 dwellH3427 in the streetsH7339 of JerusalemH3389, and every manH376 with his staffH4938 in his handH3027 for veryH7230 ageH3117. {very…: Heb. multitude of days}
And the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892 shall be fullH4390 of boysH3206 and girlsH3207 playingH7832 in the streetsH7339 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; If it be marvellousH6381 in the eyesH5869 of the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 in these daysH3117, should it also be marvellousH6381 in mine eyesH5869? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {marvellous: or, hard, or, difficult}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Behold, I will saveH3467 my peopleH5971 from the eastH4217 countryH776, and from the westH3996+H8121 countryH776; {the west…: Heb. the country of the going down of the sun}
And I will bringH935 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430, in truthH571 and in righteousnessH6666.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Let your handsH3027 be strongH2388, ye that hearH8085 in these daysH3117 these wordsH1697 by the mouthH6310 of the prophetsH5030, which were in the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 was laidH3245, that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129.
For beforeH6440 these daysH3117 there wasH1961 no hireH7939 for manH120, nor any hireH7939 for beastH929; neither was there any peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318 or came inH935 because of the afflictionH6862: for I setH7971 all menH120 every oneH376 against his neighbourH7453. {there was…: or, the hire of man became nothing}
But now I will not be unto the residueH7611 of this peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
For the seedH2233 shall be prosperousH7965; the vineH1612 shall giveH5414 her fruitH6529, and the groundH776 shall giveH5414 her increaseH2981, and the heavensH8064 shall giveH5414 their dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of this peopleH5971 to possessH5157 all these things. {prosperous: Heb. of peace}
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curseH7045 among the heathenH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; so will I saveH3467 you, and ye shall be a blessingH1293: fearH3372 not, but let your handsH3027 be strongH2388.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; As I thoughtH2161 to punishH7489 you, when your fathersH1 provoked me to wrathH7107, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I repentedH5162 not:
So againH7725 have I thoughtH2161 in these daysH3117 to do wellH3190 unto JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: fearH3372 ye not.
These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall doH6213; SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 to his neighbourH7453; executeH8199 the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179: {execute…: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}
And let noneH376 of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 in your heartsH3824 against his neighbourH7453; and loveH157 no falseH8267 oathH7621: for all these are things that I hateH8130, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 came unto me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall comeH935 peopleH5971, and the inhabitantsH3427 of manyH7227 citiesH5892:
And the inhabitantsH3427 of oneH259 city shall goH1980 to anotherH259, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 speedilyH1980 to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: I will goH3212 also. {speedily: or, continually: Heb. going} {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Yea, manyH7227 peopleH5971 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; In those daysH3117 it shall come to pass, that tenH6235 menH582 shall take holdH2388 out of all languagesH3956 of the nationsH1471, even shall take holdH2388 of the skirtH3671 of him that is a JewH376+H3064, sayingH559, We will goH3212 with you: for we have heardH8085 that GodH430 is with you.
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 for IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which stretchethH5186 forth the heavensH8064, and layeth the foundationH3245 of the earthH776, and formethH3335 the spiritH7307 of manH120 withinH7130 him.
Behold, I will makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a cupH5592 of tremblingH7478 unto all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, when they shall be in the siegeH4692 both against JudahH3063 and against JerusalemH3389. {trembling: or, slumber, or, poison} {when…: or, and also against Judah shall he be which shall be in siege against Jerusalem}
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will smiteH5221 every horseH5483 with astonishmentH8541, and his riderH7392 with madnessH7697: and I will openH6491 mine eyesH5869 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will smiteH5221 every horseH5483 of the peopleH5971 with blindnessH5788.
And the governorsH441 of JudahH3063 shall sayH559 in their heartH3820, The inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 shall be my strengthH556 in the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 their GodH430. {The inhabitants…: or, There is strength to me and to the inhabitants, etc}
In that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 the governorsH441 of JudahH3063 like an hearthH3595 of fireH784 among the woodH6086, and like a torchH3940 of fireH784 in a sheafH5995; and they shall devourH398 all the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, on the right handH3225 and on the leftH8040: and JerusalemH3389 shall be inhabitedH3427 again in her own place, even in JerusalemH3389.
The LORDH3068 also shall saveH3467 the tentsH168 of JudahH3063 firstH7223, that the gloryH8597 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and the gloryH8597 of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 do not magnifyH1431 themselves against JudahH3063.
In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 defendH1598 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; and he that is feebleH3782 among them at that dayH3117 shall be as DavidH1732; and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 shall be as GodH430, as the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 them. {feeble: or, abject: Heb. fallen}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will seekH1245 to destroyH8045 all the nationsH1471 that comeH935 against JerusalemH3389.
And I will pourH8210 upon the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the spiritH7307 of graceH2580 and of supplicationsH8469: and they shall lookH5027 upon me whom they have piercedH1856, and they shall mournH4553 for him, as one mournethH5594 for his onlyH3173 son, and shall be in bitternessH4843 for him, as one that is in bitternessH4843 for his firstbornH1060.
In that dayH3117 shall there be a greatH1431 mourningH4553 in JerusalemH3389, as the mourningH4553 of HadadrimmonH1910 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddonH4023.
And the landH776 shall mournH5594, everyH4940 familyH4940 apartH905; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of NathanH5416 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {every…: Heb. families, families}
The familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of ShimeiH8097 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {of Shimei: or, of Simeon, as LXX}
All the familiesH4940 that remainH7604, every familyH4940 apart, and their wivesH802 apart.
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.
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, and thy spoilH7998 shall be dividedH2505 in the midstH7130 of thee.
For I will gatherH622 all nationsH1471 against JerusalemH3389 to battleH4421; and the cityH5892 shall be takenH3920, and the housesH1004 rifledH8155, and the womenH802 ravishedH7901+H7693; and halfH2677 of the cityH5892 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall not be cut offH3772 from the cityH5892.
Then shall the LORDH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
And his feetH7272 shall standH5975 in that dayH3117 upon the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132, which is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389 on the eastH6924, and the mountH2022 of OlivesH2132 shall cleaveH1234 in the midstH2677 thereof toward the eastH4217 and toward the westH3220, and there shall be a veryH3966 greatH1419 valleyH1516; and halfH2677 of the mountainH2022 shall removeH4185 toward the northH6828, and halfH2677 of it toward the southH5045.
And ye shall fleeH5127 to the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022; for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 shall reachH5060 unto AzalH682: yea, ye shall fleeH5127, like as ye fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: and the LORDH3068 my GodH430 shall comeH935, and all the saintsH6918 with thee. {the mountains: or, my mountains} {for the…: or, when he shall touch the valley of the mountains to the place he separated}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the lightH216 shall not be clearH3368, nor darkH7087+H7087: {that the…: that is, it shall not be clear in some places, and dark in other places of the world} {clear: Heb. precious} {dark: Heb. thickness}
But it shall be oneH259 dayH3117 which shall be knownH3045 to the LORDH3068, not dayH3117, nor nightH3915: but it shall come to pass, that at eveningH6153 timeH6256 it shall be lightH216. {it shall be…: or, the day shall be one}
And it shall be in that dayH3117, that livingH2416 watersH4325 shall go outH3318 from JerusalemH3389; halfH2677 of them toward the formerH6931 seaH3220, and halfH2677 of them toward the hinderH314 seaH3220: in summerH7019 and in winterH2779 shall it be. {former: or, eastern}
And the LORDH3068 shall be kingH4428 over all the earthH776: in that dayH3117 shall there be oneH259 LORDH3068, and his nameH8034 oneH259.
All the landH776 shall be turnedH5437 as a plainH6160 from GebaH1387 to RimmonH7417 southH5045 of JerusalemH3389: and it shall be lifted upH7213, and inhabitedH3427 in her place, from Benjamin'sH1144 gateH8179 unto the placeH4725 of the firstH7223 gateH8179, unto the cornerH6434 gateH8179, and from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the king'sH4428 winepressesH3342. {turned: or, compassed} {inhabited: or, shall abide}
And men shall dwellH3427 in it, and there shall be no more utter destructionH2764; but JerusalemH3389 shall be safelyH983 inhabitedH3427. {shall be: or, shall abide}
And this shall be the plagueH4046 wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 all the peopleH5971 that have foughtH6633 against JerusalemH3389; Their fleshH1320 shall consume awayH4743 while they standH5975 upon their feetH7272, and their eyesH5869 shall consume awayH4743 in their holesH2356, and their tongueH3956 shall consume awayH4743 in their mouthH6310.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a greatH7227 tumultH4103 from the LORDH3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay holdH2388 every oneH376 on the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453, and his handH3027 shall rise upH5927 against the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453.
And JudahH3063 also shall fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the wealthH2428 of all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439 shall be gathered togetherH622, goldH2091, and silverH3701, and apparelH899, in greatH3966 abundanceH7230. {Judah…: or, thou also, O Judah shalt} {at: or, against}
And so shall be the plagueH4046 of the horseH5483, of the muleH6505, of the camelH1581, and of the assH2543, and of all the beastsH929 that shall be in theseH1992 tentsH4264, as this plagueH4046.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 of all the nationsH1471 which cameH935 against JerusalemH3389 shall even go upH5927 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
And it shall be, that whoso will not come upH5927 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 unto JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, even upon them shall be no rainH1653.
And if the familyH4940 of EgyptH4714 go not upH5927, and comeH935 not, that have no rain; there shall be the plagueH4046, wherewith the LORDH3068 will smiteH5062 the heathenH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {that have no: Heb. upon whom there is not}
This shall be the punishmentH2403 of EgyptH4714, and the punishmentH2403 of all nationsH1471 that come not upH5927 to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521. {punishment: or, sin}
In that dayH3117 shall there be upon the bellsH4698 of the horsesH5483, HOLINESSH6944 UNTO THE LORDH3068; and the potsH5518 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be like the bowlsH4219 beforeH6440 the altarH4196. {bells: or, bridles}
Yea, every potH5518 in JerusalemH3389 and in JudahH3063 shall be holinessH6944 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and all they that sacrificeH2076 shall comeH935 and takeH3947 of them, and seetheH1310 therein: and in that dayH3117 there shall be no more the CanaaniteH3669 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
For Zion'sH6726 sake will I not hold my peaceH2814, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake I will not restH8252, until the righteousnessH6664 thereof go forthH3318 as brightnessH5051, and the salvationH3444 thereof as a lampH3940 that burnethH1197.
I have setH6485 watchmenH8104 upon thy wallsH2346, O JerusalemH3389, which shall neverH8548 hold their peaceH2814 dayH3117 nor nightH3915: ye that make mentionH2142 of the LORDH3068, keep not silenceH1824, {make…: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}
And giveH5414 him no restH1824, till he establishH3559, and till he makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a praiseH8416 in the earthH776. {rest: Heb. silence}
Look downH5027 from heavenH8064, and beholdH7200 from the habitationH2073 of thy holinessH6944 and of thy gloryH8597: where is thy zealH7068 and thy strengthH1369, the soundingH1995 of thy bowelsH4578 and of thy merciesH7356 toward me? are they restrainedH662? {the sounding: or, the multitude}
DoubtlessH3588 thou art our fatherH1, though AbrahamH85 be ignorantH3808+H3045 of us, and IsraelH3478 acknowledgeH5234 us not: thou, O LORDH3068, art our fatherH1, our redeemerH1350; thy nameH8034 is from everlastingH5769. {our redeemer…: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name}
O LORDH3068, why hast thou made us to errH8582 from thy waysH1870, and hardenedH7188 our heartH3820 from thy fearH3374? ReturnH7725 for thy servants'H5650 sake, the tribesH7626 of thine inheritanceH5159.
The peopleH5971 of thy holinessH6944 have possessedH3423 it but a little whileH4705: our adversariesH6862 have trodden downH947 thy sanctuaryH4720.
We are thine: thou neverH5769 barest ruleH4910 over them; they were not calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
OhH3863 that thou wouldest rendH7167 the heavensH8064, that thou wouldest come downH3381, that the mountainsH2022 might flow downH2151 at thy presenceH6440,
As when the meltingH2003 fireH784 burnethH6919, the fireH784 causeth the watersH4325 to boilH1158, to make thy nameH8034 knownH3045 to thine adversariesH6862, that the nationsH1471 may trembleH7264 at thy presenceH6440! {the melting…: Heb. the fire of meltings}
When thou didstH6213 terrible thingsH3372 which we lookedH6960 not for, thou camest downH3381, the mountainsH2022 flowed downH2151 at thy presenceH6440.
For since the beginning of the worldH5769 men have not heardH8085, nor perceived by the earH238, neither hath the eyeH5869 seenH7200, O GodH430, besideH2108 thee, what he hath preparedH6213 for him that waitethH2442 for him. {seen…: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc}
Thou meetestH6293 him that rejoicethH7797 and workethH6213 righteousnessH6664, those that rememberH2142 thee in thy waysH1870: behold, thou art wrothH7107; for we have sinnedH2398: in those is continuanceH5769, and we shall be savedH3467.
But we are all as an uncleanH2931 thing, and all our righteousnessesH6666 are as filthyH5708 ragsH899; and we all do fadeH5034+H1101 as a leafH5929; and our iniquitiesH5771, like the windH7307, have taken us awayH5375.
And there is none that callethH7121 upon thy nameH8034, that stirreth upH5782 himself to take holdH2388 of thee: for thou hast hidH5641 thy faceH6440 from us, and hast consumedH4127 us, becauseH3027 of our iniquitiesH5771. {consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand}
But now, O LORDH3068, thou art our fatherH1; we are the clayH2563, and thou our potterH3335; and we all are the workH4639 of thy handH3027.
Be not wrothH7107 very soreH3966, O LORDH3068, neither rememberH2142 iniquityH5771 for everH5703: behold, seeH5027, we beseech thee, we are all thy peopleH5971.
Thy holyH6944 citiesH5892 are a wildernessH4057, ZionH6726 is a wildernessH4057, JerusalemH3389 a desolationH8077.
Our holyH6944 and our beautifulH8597 houseH1004, where our fathersH1 praisedH1984 thee, is burned upH8316 with fireH784: and all our pleasant thingsH4261 are laid wasteH2723.
Wilt thou refrainH662 thyself for these things, O LORDH3068? wilt thou hold thy peaceH2814, and afflictH6031 us very soreH3966?
And in that dayH3117 thou shalt sayH559, O LORDH3068, I will praiseH3034 thee: though thou wast angryH599 with me, thine angerH639 is turned awayH7725, and thou comfortedstH5162 me.
Behold, GodH410 is my salvationH3444; I will trustH982, and not be afraidH6342: for the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is my strengthH5797 and my songH2176; he also is become my salvationH3444.
Therefore with joyH8342 shall ye drawH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellsH4599 of salvationH3444.
And in that dayH3117 shall ye sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068, callH7121 upon his nameH8034, declareH3045 his doingsH5949 among the peopleH5971, make mentionH2142 that his nameH8034 is exaltedH7682. {call…: or, proclaim}
SingH2167 unto the LORDH3068; for he hath doneH6213 excellent thingsH1348: this is knownH3045+H3045 in all the earthH776.
Cry outH6670 and shoutH7442, thou inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726: for greatH1419 is the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 in the midstH7130 of thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 and SongH7892 of DavidH1732. PraiseH8416 waitethH1747 for thee, O GodH430, in SionH6726: and unto thee shall the vowH5088 be performedH7999. {waiteth: Heb. is silent}
O thou that hearestH8085 prayerH8605, unto thee shall all fleshH1320 comeH935.
IniquitiesH1697+H5771 prevailH1396 against me: as for our transgressionsH6588, thou shalt purge them awayH3722. {iniquities: Heb. Words, or, Matters of iniquities}
BlessedH835 is the man whom thou choosestH977, and causest to approachH7126 unto thee, that he may dwellH7931 in thy courtsH2691: we shall be satisfiedH7646 with the goodnessH2898 of thy houseH1004, even of thy holyH6918 templeH1964.
By terrible thingsH3372 in righteousnessH6664 wilt thou answerH6030 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468; who art the confidenceH4009 of all the endsH7099 of the earthH776, and of them that are afar offH7350 upon the seaH3220:
Which by his strengthH3581 setteth fastH3559 the mountainsH2022; being girdedH247 with powerH1369:
Which stillethH7623 the noiseH7588 of the seasH3220, the noiseH7588 of their wavesH1530, and the tumultH1995 of the peopleH3816.
They also that dwellH3427 in the uttermost partsH7099 are afraidH3372 at thy tokensH226: thou makest the outgoingsH4161 of the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 to rejoiceH7442. {rejoice: or, sing}
Thou visitestH6485 the earthH776, and waterestH7783 it: thou greatlyH7227 enrichestH6238 it with the riverH6388 of GodH430, which is fullH4390 of waterH4325: thou preparestH3559 them cornH1715, when thou hast so providedH3559 for it. {and…: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain}
Thou waterestH7301 the ridgesH8525 thereof abundantlyH7301: thou settlestH5181 the furrowsH1417+H1418 thereof: thou makest it softH4127 with showersH7241: thou blessestH1288 the springingH6780 thereof. {settlest: or, causest rain to descend into} {makest…: Heb. dissolvest it}
Thou crownestH5849 the yearH8141 with thy goodnessH2896; and thy pathsH4570 dropH7491 fatnessH1880. {with: Heb. of}
They dropH7491 upon the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057: and the little hillsH1389 rejoiceH1524 on every sideH2296. {rejoice…: Heb. are girded with joy}
The pasturesH3733 are clothedH3847 with flocksH6629; the valleysH6010 also are covered overH5848 with cornH1250; they shout for joyH7321, they also singH7891.
O comeH3212, let us singH7442 unto the LORDH3068: let us make a joyful noiseH7321 to the rockH6697 of our salvationH3468.
Let us comeH6923 before his presenceH6440 with thanksgivingH8426, and make a joyful noiseH7321 unto him with psalmsH2158. {come…: Heb. prevent his face}
For the LORDH3068 is a greatH1419 GodH410, and a greatH1419 KingH4428 above all godsH430.
In his handH3027 are the deep placesH4278 of the earthH776: the strengthH8443 of the hillsH2022 is his also. {In…: Heb. In whose} {the strength…: or, the heights of the hills are his}
The seaH3220 is his, and he madeH6213 it: and his handsH3027 formedH3335 the dryH3006 land. {The sea…: Heb. Whose the sea is}
O comeH935, let us worshipH7812 and bow downH3766: let us kneelH1288 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our makerH6213.
For he is our GodH430; and we are the peopleH5971 of his pastureH4830, and the sheepH6629 of his handH3027. To dayH3117 if ye will hearH8085 his voiceH6963,
HardenH7185 not your heartH3824, as in the provocationH4808, and as in the dayH3117 of temptationH4531 in the wildernessH4057: {provocation: Heb. contention}
When your fathersH1 temptedH5254 me, provedH974 me, and sawH7200 my workH6467.
FortyH705 yearsH8141 long was I grievedH6962 with this generationH1755, and saidH559, It is a peopleH5971 that do errH8582 in their heartH3824, and they have not knownH3045 my waysH1870:
Unto whom I swareH7650 in my wrathH639 that they should not enterH935 into my restH4496. {that…: Heb. if they enter into my rest}
The LORDH3068 reignethH4427; let the earthH776 rejoiceH1523; let the multitudeH7227 of islesH339 be gladH8055 thereof. {multitude…: Heb. many, or, great isles}
CloudsH6051 and darknessH6205 are round aboutH5439 him: righteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of his throneH3678. {habitation: or, establishment}
A fireH784 goethH3212 beforeH6440 him, and burneth upH3857 his enemiesH6862 round aboutH5439.
His lightningsH1300 enlightenedH215 the worldH8398: the earthH776 sawH7200, and trembledH2342.
The hillsH2022 meltedH4549 like waxH1749 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, at the presenceH6440 of the LordH113 of the whole earthH776.
The heavensH8064 declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664, and all the peopleH5971 seeH7200 his gloryH3519.
ConfoundedH954 be all they that serveH5647 graven imagesH6459, that boastH1984 themselves of idolsH457: worshipH7812 him, all ye godsH430.
ZionH6726 heardH8085, and was gladH8055; and the daughtersH1323 of JudahH3063 rejoicedH1523 because of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068.
For thou, LORDH3068, art high aboveH5945 all the earthH776: thou art exaltedH5927 far aboveH3966 all godsH430.
Ye that loveH157 the LORDH3068, hateH8130 evilH7451: he preservethH8104 the soulsH5315 of his saintsH2623; he deliverethH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
LightH216 is sownH2232 for the righteousH6662, and gladnessH8057 for the uprightH3477 in heartH3820.
RejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068, ye righteousH6662; and give thanksH3034 at the remembranceH2143 of his holinessH6944. {at…: or, to the memorial}
The LORDH3068 reignethH4427; let the peopleH5971 trembleH7264: he sittethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742; let the earthH776 be movedH5120. {be moved: Heb. stagger}
The LORDH3068 is greatH1419 in ZionH6726; and he is highH7311 above all the peopleH5971.
Let them praiseH3034 thy greatH1419 and terribleH3372 nameH8034; for it is holyH6918.
The king'sH4428 strengthH5797 also lovethH157 judgmentH4941; thou dost establishH3559 equityH4339, thou executestH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in JacobH3290.
ExaltH7311 ye the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and worshipH7812 at his footstoolH7272+H1916; for he is holyH6918. {he is…: or, it is holy}
MosesH4872 and AaronH175 among his priestsH3548, and SamuelH8050 among them that callH7121 upon his nameH8034; they calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068, and he answeredH6030 them.
He spakeH1696 unto them in the cloudyH6051 pillarH5982: they keptH8104 his testimoniesH5713, and the ordinanceH2706 that he gaveH5414 them.
Thou answeredstH6030 them, O LORDH3068 our GodH430: thou wast a GodH410 that forgavestH5375 them, though thou tookest vengeanceH5358 of their inventionsH5949.
ExaltH7311 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and worshipH7812 at his holyH6944 hillH2022; for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is holyH6918.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let IsraelH3478 now sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let the houseH1004 of AaronH175 now sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Let them now that fearH3373 the LORDH3068 sayH559, that his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3050 in distressH4712: the LORDH3050 answeredH6030 me, and set me in a large placeH4800. {in distress: Heb. out of distress}
The LORDH3068 is on my side; I will not fearH3372: what canH6213 manH120 doH6213 unto me? {on…: Heb. for me}
The LORDH3068 taketh my part with them that helpH5826 me: therefore shall I seeH7200 my desire upon them that hateH8130 me.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in manH120.
It is betterH2896 to trustH2620 in the LORDH3068 than to put confidenceH982 in princesH5081.
All nationsH1471 compassed me aboutH5437: but in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 will I destroyH4135 them. {destroy…: Heb. cut them off}
They compassed me aboutH5437; yea, they compassed me aboutH5437: but in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 I will destroyH4135 them.
They compassed me aboutH5437 like beesH1682; they are quenchedH1846 as the fireH784 of thornsH6975: for in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 I will destroyH4135 them. {destroy: Heb. cut down}
Thou hast thrustH1760 soreH1760 at me that I might fallH5307: but the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 me.
The LORDH3050 is my strengthH5797 and songH2176, and is become my salvationH3444.
The voiceH6963 of rejoicingH7440 and salvationH3444 is in the tabernaclesH168 of the righteousH6662: the right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 doethH6213 valiantlyH2428.
The right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 is exaltedH7426: the right handH3225 of the LORDH3068 doethH6213 valiantlyH2428.
I shall not dieH4191, but liveH2421, and declareH5608 the worksH4639 of the LORDH3050.
The LORDH3050 hath chastenedH3256 me soreH3256: but he hath not given me overH5414 unto deathH4194.
OpenH6605 to me the gatesH8179 of righteousnessH6664: I will goH935 into them, and I will praiseH3034 the LORDH3050:
This gateH8179 of the LORDH3068, into which the righteousH6662 shall enterH935.
I will praiseH3034 thee: for thou hast heardH6030 me, and art become my salvationH3444.
The stoneH68 which the buildersH1129 refusedH3988 is become the headH7218 stone of the cornerH6438.
This is the LORD'SH3068 doing; it is marvellousH6381 in our eyesH5869. {the LORD's…: Heb. from the LORD}
This is the dayH3117 which the LORDH3068 hath madeH6213; we will rejoiceH1523 and be gladH8055 in it.
SaveH3467 now, I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068: O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, send now prosperityH6743.
BlessedH1288 be he that comethH935 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: we have blessedH1288 you out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
GodH410 is the LORDH3068, which hath shewed us lightH215: bindH631 the sacrificeH2282 with cordsH5688, even unto the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
Thou art my GodH410, and I will praiseH3034 thee: thou art my GodH430, I will exaltH7311 thee.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
