The kingsH4428 of the earthH776, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, would not have believedH539 that the adversaryH6862 and the enemyH341 should have enteredH935 into the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
For the sinsH2403 of her prophetsH5030, and the iniquitiesH5771 of her priestsH3548, that have shedH8210 the bloodH1818 of the justH6662 in the midstH7130 of her,
They have wanderedH5128 as blindH5787 men in the streetsH2351, they have pollutedH1351 themselves with bloodH1818, so that men couldH3201 notH3808 touchH5060 their garmentsH3830. {so…: or, in that they could not but touch}
They criedH7121 unto them, DepartH5493 ye; it is uncleanH2931; departH5493, departH5493, touchH5060 not: when they fled awayH5132 and wanderedH5128, they saidH559 among the heathenH1471, They shall no moreH3254 sojournH1481 there. {it…: or, ye polluted}
The angerH6440 of the LORDH3068 hath dividedH2505 them; he will no moreH3254 regardH5027 them: they respectedH5375 not the personsH6440 of the priestsH3548, they favouredH2603 not the eldersH2205. {anger: or, face}

It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
Then there cameH935 some that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There comethH935 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 against thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 on this side SyriaH758; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH2688, which is EngediH5872.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
And JudahH3063 gathered themselves togetherH6908, to askH1245 help of the LORDH3068: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691,
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and rulestH4910 not thou over all the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471? and in thine handH3027 is there not powerH3581 and mightH1369, so that none is able to withstandH3320 thee?
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
If, when evilH7451 comethH935 upon us, as the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, we standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and in thy presenceH6440, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our afflictionH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and helpH3467.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, withH1571 their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121.
Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951;
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshippingH7812 the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.
And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743.
And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
For the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stood upH5975 against the inhabitantsH3427 of mountH2022 SeirH8165, utterly to slayH2763 and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, every oneH376 helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 anotherH7453. {to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}
And when JudahH3063 cameH935 toward the watch towerH4707+H4708 in the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 unto the multitudeH1995, and, behold, they were dead bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and none escapedH6413. {none…: Heb. there was not an escaping}
And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to take awayH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both richesH7399 with the dead bodiesH6297, and preciousH2532 jewelsH3627, which they stripped offH5337 for themselves, more thanH369 they could carry awayH4853: and they were threeH7969 daysH3117 in gatheringH962 of the spoilH7998, it was so muchH7227.
And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of the same placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, unto this dayH3117. {Berachah: that is, blessing}
Then they returnedH7725, every manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefrontH7218 of them, to go againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for the LORDH3068 had made them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. {forefront: Heb. head}
And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on all the kingdomsH4467 of those countriesH776, when they had heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
So the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 was quietH8252: for his GodH430 gave him restH5117 round aboutH5439.
A SongH7892 and PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. GreatH1419 is the LORDH3068, and greatlyH3966 to be praisedH1984 in the cityH5892 of our GodH430, in the mountainH2022 of his holinessH6944. {for: or, of}
BeautifulH3303 for situationH5131, the joyH4885 of the whole earthH776, is mountH2022 ZionH6726, on the sidesH3411 of the northH6828, the cityH7151 of the greatH7227 KingH4428.
GodH430 is knownH3045 in her palacesH759 for a refugeH4869.
For, lo, the kingsH4428 were assembledH3259, they passed byH5674 togetherH3162.
They sawH7200 it, and so they marvelledH8539; they were troubledH926, and hasted awayH2648.
FearH7461 took holdH270 upon them there, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205.
Thou breakestH7665 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 with an eastH6921 windH7307.
As we have heardH8085, so have we seenH7200 in the cityH5892 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in the cityH5892 of our GodH430: GodH430 will establishH3559 it forH5704 everH5769. SelahH5542.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892, to saveH3467 it, for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went outH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 an hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
Also in thy skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the soulsH5315 of the poorH34 innocentsH5355: I have not foundH4672 it by secret searchH4290, but upon all these. {secret…: Heb. digging}
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.
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.
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.
For they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you, to remove you farH7368 from your landH127; and that I should drive you outH5080, and ye should perishH6.
Why hast thou prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, This houseH1004 shall be like ShilohH7887, and this cityH5892 shall be desolateH2717 without an inhabitantH3427? And all the peopleH5971 were gatheredH6950 against JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they fetched forthH3318 UrijahH223 out of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 him unto JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428; who slewH5221 him with the swordH2719, and castH7993 his dead bodyH5038 into the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. {common…: Heb. sons of the people}
Nevertheless the handH3027 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 was with JeremiahH3414, that they should not giveH5414 him into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 to put him to deathH4191.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto her, Thou art the landH776 that is not cleansedH2891, nor rainedH1656 upon in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195.
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
And her prophetsH5030 have daubedH2902 them with untemperedH8602 morter, seeingH2374 vanityH7723, and diviningH7080 liesH3577 unto them, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, when the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696.
Her prophetsH5030 are lightH6348 and treacherousH900 personsH582: her priestsH3548 have pollutedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they have done violenceH2554 to the lawH8451.
So ye shall not polluteH2610 the landH776 wherein ye are: for bloodH1818 it defilethH2610 the landH776: and the landH776 cannot be cleansedH3722 of the bloodH1818 that is shedH8210 therein, but by the bloodH1818 of him that shedH8210 it. {the land cannot…: Heb. there can be no expiation for the land}
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with madnessH7697, and blindnessH5788, and astonishmentH8541 of heartH3824:
And thou shalt gropeH4959 at noondayH6672, as the blindH5787 gropethH4959 in darknessH653, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and spoiledH1497 evermoreH3117, and no man shall saveH3467 thee.
StayH4102 yourselves, and wonderH8539; cry ye outH8173, and cryH8173: they are drunkenH7937, but not with wineH3196; they staggerH5128, but not with strong drinkH7941. {cry ye…: or, take your pleasure, and riot}
Also in thy skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the soulsH5315 of the poorH34 innocentsH5355: I have not foundH4672 it by secret searchH4290, but upon all these. {secret…: Heb. digging}
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
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.
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold}
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574. So JudahH3063 was carried awayH1540 out of their landH127.
