King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
How is the goldH2091 become dimH6004! how is the mostH2896 fine goldH3800 changedH8132! the stonesH68 of the sanctuaryH6944 are poured outH8210 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.
The preciousH3368 sonsH1121 of ZionH6726, comparableH5537 to fine goldH6337, how are they esteemedH2803 as earthenH2789 pitchersH5035, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the potterH3335!
Even the sea monstersH8577 draw outH2502 the breastH7699, they give suckH3243 to their young onesH1482: the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is become cruelH393, like the ostrichesH3283 in the wildernessH4057. {sea…: or, sea calves}
The tongueH3956 of the sucking childH3243 cleavethH1692 to the roof of his mouthH2441 for thirstH6772: the young childrenH5768 askH7592 breadH3899, and no man breakethH6566 it unto them.
They that did feedH398 delicatelyH4574 are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351: they that were brought upH539 in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dunghillsH830.
For the punishment of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the punishmentH2403 of the sin of SodomH5467, that was overthrownH2015 as in a momentH7281, and no handsH3027 stayedH2342 on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}
Her NazaritesH5139 were purerH2141 than snowH7950, they were whiterH6705 than milkH2461, they were more ruddyH119 in bodyH6106 than rubiesH6443, their polishingH1508 was of sapphireH5601:
Their visageH8389 is blackerH2821 than a coalH7815; they are not knownH5234 in the streetsH2351: their skinH5785 cleavethH6821 to their bonesH6106; it is witheredH3001, it is become like a stickH6086. {blacker…: Heb. darker than blackness}
They that be slainH2491 with the swordH2719 are betterH2896 than they that be slainH2491 with hungerH7458: for theseH1992 pine awayH2100, strickenH1856 through for want of the fruitsH8570 of the fieldH7704. {pine…: Heb. flow out}
The handsH3027 of the pitifulH7362 womenH802 have soddenH1310 their own childrenH3206: they were their meatH1262 in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
How hath the LordH136 coveredH5743 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 with a cloudH5743 in his angerH639, and cast downH7993 from heavenH8064 unto the earthH776 the beautyH8597 of IsraelH3478, and rememberedH2142 not his footstoolH1916+H7272 in the dayH3117 of his angerH639!
The LordH136 hath swallowed upH1104 all the habitationsH4999 of JacobH3290, and hath not pitiedH2550: he hath thrown downH2040 in his wrathH5678 the strong holdsH4013 of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063; he hath brought them downH5060 to the groundH776: he hath pollutedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and the princesH8269 thereof. {brought…: Heb. made to touch}
He hath cut offH1438 in his fierceH2750 angerH639 all the hornH7161 of IsraelH3478: he hath drawnH7725 backH268 his right handH3225 from beforeH6440 the enemyH341, and he burnedH1197 against JacobH3290 like a flamingH3852 fireH784, which devourethH398 round aboutH5439.
He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198 like an enemyH341: he stoodH5324 with his right handH3225 as an adversaryH6862, and slewH2026 all that were pleasantH4261 to the eyeH5869 in the tabernacleH168 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he poured outH8210 his furyH2534 like fireH784. {all…: Heb. all the desirable of the eye}
The LordH136 was as an enemyH341: he hath swallowed upH1104 IsraelH3478, he hath swallowed upH1104 all her palacesH759: he hath destroyedH7843 his strong holdsH4013, and hath increasedH7235 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063 mourningH8386 and lamentationH592.
And he hath violently taken awayH2554 his tabernacleH7900, as if it were of a gardenH1588: he hath destroyedH7843 his places of the assemblyH4150: the LORDH3068 hath caused the solemn feastsH4150 and sabbathsH7676 to be forgottenH7911 in ZionH6726, and hath despisedH5006 in the indignationH2195 of his angerH639 the kingH4428 and the priestH3548. {tabernacle: or, hedge}
The LordH136 hath cast offH2186 his altarH4196, he hath abhorredH5010 his sanctuaryH4720, he hath given upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341 the wallsH2346 of her palacesH759; they have madeH5414 a noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn feastH4150. {given up: Heb. shut up}
The LORDH3068 hath purposedH2803 to destroyH7843 the wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he hath stretched outH5186 a lineH6957, he hath not withdrawnH7725 his handH3027 from destroyingH1104: therefore he made the rampartH2426 and the wallH2346 to lamentH56; they languishedH535 togetherH3162. {destroying: Heb. swallowing up}
Her gatesH8179 are sunkH2883 into the groundH776; he hath destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 her barsH1280: her kingH4428 and her princesH8269 are among the GentilesH1471: the lawH8451 is no more; her prophetsH5030 also findH4672 no visionH2377 from the LORDH3068.
The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 sitH3427 upon the groundH776, and keep silenceH1826: they have cast upH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218; they have girdedH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242: the virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 hang downH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.
Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because the childrenH5768 and the sucklingsH3243 swoonH5848 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151. {swoon: or, faint}
They sayH559 to their mothersH517, Where is cornH1715 and wineH3196? when they swoonedH5848 as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 was poured outH8210 into their mothers'H517 bosomH2436.
What thing shall I take to witnessH5749+H5749 for thee? what thingH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? what shall I equalH7737 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breachH7667 is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who can healH7495 thee?
Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 vainH7723 and foolish thingsH8602 for thee: and they have not discoveredH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to turn awayH7725 thy captivityH7622+H7622; but have seenH2372 for thee falseH7723 burdensH4864 and causes of banishmentH4065.
All that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at theeH1870; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, saying, Is this the cityH5892 that men callH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776? {by: Heb. by the way}
All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee: they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowed her upH1104: certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that we looked forH6960; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.
The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that which he had devisedH2161; he hath fulfilledH1214 his wordH565 that he had commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of oldH6924: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not pitiedH2550: and he hath caused thine enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath set upH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversariesH6862.
Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136, O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no restH6314; let not the appleH1323 of thine eyeH5869 ceaseH1826.
AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915: in the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821 pour outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH5227 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: lift upH5375 thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faintH5848 for hungerH7458 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, and childrenH5768 of a span longH2949? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136? {of a span…: or, swaddled with their hands?}
The youngH5288 and the oldH2205 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550.
Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 round aboutH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitaryH910, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become tributaryH4522!
She weepethH1058 soreH1058 in the nightH3915, and her tearsH1832 are on her cheeksH3895: among all her loversH157 she hath none to comfortH5162 her: all her friendsH7453 have dealt treacherouslyH898 with her, they are become her enemiesH341.
JudahH3063 is gone into captivityH1540 because of afflictionH6040, and because of greatH7230 servitudeH5656: she dwellethH3427 among the heathenH1471, she findethH4672 no restH4494: all her persecutorsH7291 overtookH5381 her between the straitsH4712. {because of great…: Heb. for the greatness of servitude}
The waysH1870 of ZionH6726 do mournH57, because none comeH935 to the solemn feastsH4150: all her gatesH8179 are desolateH8074: her priestsH3548 sighH584, her virginsH1330 are afflictedH3013, and she is in bitternessH4843.
Her adversariesH6862 are the chiefH7218, her enemiesH341 prosperH7951; for the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 her for the multitudeH7230 of her transgressionsH6588: her childrenH5768 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 the enemyH6862.
And from the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 all her beautyH1926 is departedH3318: her princesH8269 are become like hartsH354 that findH4672 no pastureH4829, and they are goneH3212 without strengthH3581 beforeH6440 the pursuerH7291.
JerusalemH3389 rememberedH2142 in the daysH3117 of her afflictionH6040 and of her miseriesH4788 all her pleasant thingsH4262 that she had in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, when her peopleH5971 fellH5307 into the handH3027 of the enemyH6862, and none did helpH5826 her: the adversariesH6862 sawH7200 her, and did mockH7832 at her sabbathsH4868. {pleasant: or, desirable}
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
Her filthinessH2932 is in her skirtsH7757; she rememberethH2142 not her last endH319; therefore she came downH3381 wonderfullyH6382: she had no comforterH5162. O LORDH3068, beholdH7200 my afflictionH6040: for the enemyH341 hath magnifiedH1431 himself.
The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566 his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200 that the heathenH1471 enteredH935 into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680 that they should not enterH935 into thy congregationH6951. {pleasant: or, desirable}
All her peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant thingsH4261+H4262 for meatH400 to relieveH7725 the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027; for I am become vileH2151. {to…: or, to make the soul to come again}
Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 byH1870? beholdH5027, and seeH7200 if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953 unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {Is it…: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287 against them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH268: he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8074 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.
The LordH136 hath trodden under footH5541 all my mightyH47 men in the midstH7130 of me: he hath calledH7121 an assemblyH4150 against me to crushH7665 my young menH970: the LordH136 hath troddenH1869 the virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063, as in a winepressH1660. {the virgin…: or, the winepress of the virgin, etc}
For these things I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325, because the comforterH5162 that should relieveH7725 my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me: my childrenH1121 are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 prevailedH1396. {relieve: Heb. bring back}
ZionH6726 spreadeth forthH6566 her handsH3027, and there is none to comfortH5162 her: the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that his adversariesH6862 should be round aboutH5439 him: JerusalemH3389 is as a menstruous womanH5079 among them.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478 in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 their meatH400 to relieveH7725 their soulsH5315.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068; for I am in distressH6887: my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560; mine heartH3820 is turnedH2015 withinH7130 me; for I have grievouslyH4784 rebelledH4784: abroadH2351 the swordH2719 bereavethH7921, at homeH1004 there is as deathH4194.
They have heardH8085 that I sighH584: there is none to comfortH5162 me: all mine enemiesH341 have heardH8085 of my troubleH7451; they are gladH7797 that thou hast doneH6213 it: thou wilt bringH935 the dayH3117 that thou hast calledH7121, and they shall be likeH3644 unto me. {called: or, proclaimed}
Let all their wickednessH7451 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; and doH5953 unto them, as thou hast doneH5953 unto me for all my transgressionsH6588: for my sighsH585 are manyH7227, and my heartH3820 is faintH1742.
How hath the LordH136 coveredH5743 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 with a cloudH5743 in his angerH639, and cast downH7993 from heavenH8064 unto the earthH776 the beautyH8597 of IsraelH3478, and rememberedH2142 not his footstoolH1916+H7272 in the dayH3117 of his angerH639!
The LordH136 hath swallowed upH1104 all the habitationsH4999 of JacobH3290, and hath not pitiedH2550: he hath thrown downH2040 in his wrathH5678 the strong holdsH4013 of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063; he hath brought them downH5060 to the groundH776: he hath pollutedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and the princesH8269 thereof. {brought…: Heb. made to touch}
He hath cut offH1438 in his fierceH2750 angerH639 all the hornH7161 of IsraelH3478: he hath drawnH7725 backH268 his right handH3225 from beforeH6440 the enemyH341, and he burnedH1197 against JacobH3290 like a flamingH3852 fireH784, which devourethH398 round aboutH5439.
He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198 like an enemyH341: he stoodH5324 with his right handH3225 as an adversaryH6862, and slewH2026 all that were pleasantH4261 to the eyeH5869 in the tabernacleH168 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he poured outH8210 his furyH2534 like fireH784. {all…: Heb. all the desirable of the eye}
The LordH136 was as an enemyH341: he hath swallowed upH1104 IsraelH3478, he hath swallowed upH1104 all her palacesH759: he hath destroyedH7843 his strong holdsH4013, and hath increasedH7235 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063 mourningH8386 and lamentationH592.
And he hath violently taken awayH2554 his tabernacleH7900, as if it were of a gardenH1588: he hath destroyedH7843 his places of the assemblyH4150: the LORDH3068 hath caused the solemn feastsH4150 and sabbathsH7676 to be forgottenH7911 in ZionH6726, and hath despisedH5006 in the indignationH2195 of his angerH639 the kingH4428 and the priestH3548. {tabernacle: or, hedge}
The LordH136 hath cast offH2186 his altarH4196, he hath abhorredH5010 his sanctuaryH4720, he hath given upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341 the wallsH2346 of her palacesH759; they have madeH5414 a noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn feastH4150. {given up: Heb. shut up}
The LORDH3068 hath purposedH2803 to destroyH7843 the wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he hath stretched outH5186 a lineH6957, he hath not withdrawnH7725 his handH3027 from destroyingH1104: therefore he made the rampartH2426 and the wallH2346 to lamentH56; they languishedH535 togetherH3162. {destroying: Heb. swallowing up}
Her gatesH8179 are sunkH2883 into the groundH776; he hath destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 her barsH1280: her kingH4428 and her princesH8269 are among the GentilesH1471: the lawH8451 is no more; her prophetsH5030 also findH4672 no visionH2377 from the LORDH3068.
The eldersH2205 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 sitH3427 upon the groundH776, and keep silenceH1826: they have cast upH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218; they have girdedH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242: the virginsH1330 of JerusalemH3389 hang downH3381 their headsH7218 to the groundH776.
Mine eyesH5869 do failH3615 with tearsH1832, my bowelsH4578 are troubledH2560, my liverH3516 is pouredH8210 upon the earthH776, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971; because the childrenH5768 and the sucklingsH3243 swoonH5848 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH7151. {swoon: or, faint}
They sayH559 to their mothersH517, Where is cornH1715 and wineH3196? when they swoonedH5848 as the woundedH2491 in the streetsH7339 of the cityH5892, when their soulH5315 was poured outH8210 into their mothers'H517 bosomH2436.
What thing shall I take to witnessH5749+H5749 for thee? what thingH4100 shall I likenH1819 to thee, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389? what shall I equalH7737 to thee, that I may comfortH5162 thee, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726? for thy breachH7667 is greatH1419 like the seaH3220: who can healH7495 thee?
Thy prophetsH5030 have seenH2372 vainH7723 and foolish thingsH8602 for thee: and they have not discoveredH1540 thine iniquityH5771, to turn awayH7725 thy captivityH7622+H7622; but have seenH2372 for thee falseH7723 burdensH4864 and causes of banishmentH4065.
All that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at theeH1870; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, saying, Is this the cityH5892 that men callH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776? {by: Heb. by the way}
All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee: they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowed her upH1104: certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that we looked forH6960; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.
The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that which he had devisedH2161; he hath fulfilledH1214 his wordH565 that he had commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of oldH6924: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not pitiedH2550: and he hath caused thine enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath set upH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversariesH6862.
Their heartH3820 criedH6817 unto the LordH136, O wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, let tearsH1832 run downH3381 like a riverH5158 dayH3119 and nightH3915: giveH5414 thyself no restH6314; let not the appleH1323 of thine eyeH5869 ceaseH1826.
AriseH6965, cry outH7442 in the nightH3915: in the beginningH7218 of the watchesH821 pour outH8210 thine heartH3820 like waterH4325 beforeH5227 the faceH6440 of the LordH136: lift upH5375 thy handsH3709 toward him for the lifeH5315 of thy young childrenH5768, that faintH5848 for hungerH7458 in the topH7218 of every streetH2351.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, and childrenH5768 of a span longH2949? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136? {of a span…: or, swaddled with their hands?}
The youngH5288 and the oldH2205 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550.
Thou hast calledH7121 as in a solemnH4150 dayH3117 my terrorsH4032 round aboutH5439, so that in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 none escapedH6412 nor remainedH8300: those that I have swaddledH2946 and brought upH7235 hath mine enemyH341 consumedH3615.
How doth the cityH5892 sitH3427 solitaryH910, that was fullH7227 of peopleH5971! how is she become as a widowH490! she that was greatH7227 among the nationsH1471, and princessH8282 among the provincesH4082, how is she become tributaryH4522!
How hath the LordH136 coveredH5743 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 with a cloudH5743 in his angerH639, and cast downH7993 from heavenH8064 unto the earthH776 the beautyH8597 of IsraelH3478, and rememberedH2142 not his footstoolH1916+H7272 in the dayH3117 of his angerH639!
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Gavest thou the goodlyH7443 wingsH3671 unto the peacocksH5965? or wingsH84 and feathersH2624 unto the ostrichH5133? {wings and…: or, the feathers of the stork and ostrich}
Which leavethH5800 her eggsH1000 in the earthH776, and warmethH2552 them in dustH6083,
And forgettethH7911 that the footH7272 may crushH2115 them, or that the wildH7704 beastH2416 may breakH1758 them.
She is hardenedH7188 against her young onesH1121, as though they were notH3808 hers: her labourH3018 is in vainH7385 without fearH6343;
Because GodH433 hath deprivedH5382 her of wisdomH2451, neither hath he impartedH2505 to her understandingH998.
What timeH6256 she lifteth upH4754 herself on highH4791, she scornethH7832 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392.
And he tookH3947 him a potsherdH2789 to scrapeH1623 himself withal; and he sat downH3427 amongH8432 the ashesH665.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye rulersH7101 of SodomH5467; give earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our GodH430, ye peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017.
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}
And thine elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 at thy left handH8040: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwellethH3427 at thy right handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323. {thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592+H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870. {as if…: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not doneH6213, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323.
You only have I knownH3045 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127: therefore I will punishH6485 you for all your iniquitiesH5771. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
AndG1161 thatG1565 servantG1401, whichG3588 knewG1097 hisG1438 lord'sG2962 willG2307, andG2532 preparedG2090 notG3361 himself, neitherG3366 didG4160 accordingG4314 to hisG846 willG2307, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes.
ButG1161 he that knewG1097 notG3361, andG1161 did commitG4160 things worthyG514 of stripesG4127, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes. ForG1161 unto whomsoeverG3739+G3956 muchG4183 is givenG1325, ofG3844 himG846 shall be muchG4183 requiredG2212: andG2532 to whom menG3739 have committedG3908 muchG4183, of himG846 they will askG154 the moreG4055.
And he overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and all the plainH3603, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and that which grewH6780 upon the groundH127.
Thou sawestH2370+H1934 tillH5705 that a stoneH69 was cut outH1505 withoutH3809 handsH3028, which smoteH4223 the imageH6755 uponH5922 his feetH7271 that were of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and brakeH1855 themH1994 to piecesH1855. {without…: or, which was not in hands}
Forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 that the stoneH69 was cut outH1505 of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028, and that it brake in piecesH1855 the ironH6523, the brassH5174, the clayH2635, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722; the greatH7229 GodH426 hath made knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 shall come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and the dreamH2493 is certainH3330, and the interpretationH6591 thereof sureH540. {without…: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Cald. after this}
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
And for the precious thingsH4022 of the earthH776 and fulnessH4393 thereof, and for the good willH7522 of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572: let the blessing comeH935 upon the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and upon the top of the headH6936 of him that was separatedH5139 from his brethrenH251.
My belovedH1730 is whiteH6703 and ruddyH122, the chiefestH1713 among ten thousandH7233. {the chiefest: Heb. a standard bearer}
I am blackH7838, but comelyH5000, O ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, as the tentsH168 of KedarH6938, as the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.
LookH7200 not upon me, because I am blackH7840, because the sunH8121 hath lookedH7805 upon me: my mother'sH517 childrenH1121 were angryH2787 with me; they madeH7760 me the keeperH5201 of the vineyardsH3754; but mine own vineyardH3754 have I not keptH5201.
My skinH5785 is blackH7835 upon me, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 with heatH2721.
BeholdH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027 to whom thou hast doneH5953 thisH3541. Shall the womenH802 eatH398 their fruitH6529, and childrenH5768 of a span longH2949? shall the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 be slainH2026 in the sanctuaryH4720 of the LordH136? {of a span…: or, swaddled with their hands?}
And there was a greatH1419 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111: and, behold, they besiegedH6696 it, until an ass'sH2543 headH7218 was sold for fourscoreH8084 pieces of silverH3701, and the fourth partH7255 of a cabH6894 of dove's dungH1686+H3123+H2755 for fiveH2568 pieces of silverH3701.
And as the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 was passing byH5674 upon the wallH2346, there criedH6817 a womanH802 unto him, sayingH559, HelpH3467, my lordH113, O kingH4428.
And he saidH559, If the LORDH3068 do not helpH3467 thee, whenceH370 shall I helpH3467 thee? out of the barnfloorH1637, or out of the winepressH3342? {If…: or, Let not the LORD save thee}
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answeredH559, This womanH802 saidH559 unto me, GiveH5414 thy sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him to dayH3117, and we will eatH398 my sonH1121 to morrowH4279.
So we boiledH1310 my sonH1121, and did eatH398 him: and I saidH559 unto her on the nextH312 dayH3117, GiveH5414 thy sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him: and she hath hidH2244 her sonH1121. {next: Heb. other}
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}
And I will cause them to eatH398 the fleshH1320 of their sonsH1121 and the fleshH1320 of their daughtersH1323, and they shall eatH398 every oneH376 the fleshH1320 of his friendH7453 in the siegeH4692 and straitnessH4689, wherewith their enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 their livesH5315, shall straitenH6693 them.
For mine eyesH5869 are upon all their waysH1870: they are not hidH5641 from my faceH6440, neither is their iniquityH5771 hidH6845 fromH5048 mine eyesH5869.
ForbearH1826 to cryH602, makeH6213 no mourningH60 for the deadH4191, bindH2280 the tire of thine headH6287 upon thee, and put onH7760 thy shoesH5275 upon thy feetH7272, and coverH5844 not thy lipsH8222, and eatH398 not the breadH3899 of menH582. {Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}
They shall not offerH5258 wineH3196 offerings to the LORDH3068, neither shall they be pleasingH6149 unto him: their sacrificesH2077 shall be unto them as the breadH3899 of mournersH205; all that eatH398 thereof shall be pollutedH2930: for their breadH3899 for their soulH5315 shall not comeH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
