A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. GodH430 standethH5324 in the congregationH5712 of the mightyH410; he judgethH8199 amongH7130 the godsH430. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
How long will ye judgeH8199 unjustlyH5766, and acceptH5375 the personsH6440 of the wickedH7563? SelahH5542.
DefendH8199 the poorH1800 and fatherlessH3490: do justiceH6663 to the afflictedH6041 and needyH7326. {Defend: Heb. Judge}
DeliverH6403 the poorH1800 and needyH34: ridH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon GittithH1665, A Psalm of AsaphH623. Sing aloudH7442 unto GodH430 our strengthH5797: make a joyful noiseH7321 unto the GodH430 of JacobH3290. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
TakeH5375 a psalmH2172, and bringH5414 hither the timbrelH8596, the pleasantH5273 harpH3658 with the psalteryH5035.
Blow upH8628 the trumpetH7782 in the new moonH2320, in the time appointedH3677, on our solemn feastH2282 dayH3117.
For this was a statuteH2706 for IsraelH3478, and a lawH4941 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290.
This he ordainedH7760 in JosephH3084 for a testimonyH5715, when he went outH3318 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714: where I heardH8085 a languageH8193 that I understoodH3045 not. {through: or, against}
I removedH5493 his shoulderH7926 from the burdenH5447: his handsH3709 were deliveredH5674 from the potsH1731. {were…: Heb. passed away}
Thou calledstH7121 in troubleH6869, and I deliveredH2502 thee; I answeredH6030 thee in the secret placeH5643 of thunderH7482: I provedH974 thee at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809. SelahH5542. {Meribah: or, Strife}
HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will testifyH5749 unto thee: O IsraelH3478, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto me;
There shall no strangeH2114 godH410 be in thee; neither shalt thou worshipH7812 any strangeH5236 godH410.
I am the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which broughtH5927 thee out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: open thy mouthH6310 wideH7337, and I will fillH4390 it.
But my peopleH5971 would not hearkenH8085 to my voiceH6963; and IsraelH3478 wouldH14 none of me.
So I gave them upH7971 unto their own hearts'H3820 lustH8307: and they walkedH3212 in their own counselsH4156. {unto…: or, to the hardness of their hearts, or, imagination}
OhH3863 that my peopleH5971 had hearkenedH8085 unto me, and IsraelH3478 had walkedH1980 in my waysH1870!
I should soonH4592 have subduedH3665 their enemiesH341, and turnedH7725 my handH3027 against their adversariesH6862.
The hatersH8130 of the LORDH3068 should have submittedH3584 themselves unto him: but their timeH6256 should have endured for everH5769. {submitted…: or, yielded feigned obedience: Heb. lied}
He should have fedH398 them also with the finestH2459 of the wheatH2406: and with honeyH1706 out of the rockH6697 should I have satisfiedH7646 thee. {finest…: Heb. fat of wheat}
SlayH2026 utterlyH4889 oldH2205 and youngH970, both maidsH1330, and little childrenH2945, and womenH802: but come not nearH5066 any manH376 upon whom is the markH8420; and beginH2490 at my sanctuaryH4720. Then they beganH2490 at the ancientH2205 menH582 which were beforeH6440 the houseH1004. {utterly: Heb. to destruction}
ForG3754 the timeG2540 is come that judgmentG2917 must beginG756 atG575 the houseG3624 of GodG2316: andG1161 ifG1487 it firstG4412 begin atG575 usG2257, whatG5101 shall the endG5056 be of them that obey notG544 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316?
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, He that enterethG1525 notG3361 byG1223 the doorG2374 intoG1519 the sheepfoldG4263+G833, butG235 climbeth upG305 some other wayG237, the sameG1565 isG2076 a thiefG2812 andG2532 a robberG3027.
ButG1161 he that entereth inG1525 byG1223 the doorG2374 isG2076 the shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263.
To himG5129 the porterG2377 openethG455; andG2532 the sheepG4263 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456: andG2532 he callethG2564 his ownG2398 sheepG4263 byG2596 nameG3686, andG2532 leadethG1806 themG846 outG1806.
AndG2532 whenG3752 he putteth forthG1544 his ownG2398 sheepG4263, he goethG4198 beforeG1715 themG846, andG2532 the sheepG4263 followG190 himG846: forG3754 they knowG1492 hisG846 voiceG5456.
AndG1161 a strangerG245 will theyG190 notG3364 followG190, butG235 will fleeG5343 fromG575 himG846: forG3754 they knowG1492 notG3756 the voiceG5456 of strangersG245.
ThisG5026 parableG3942 spakeG2036 JesusG2424 unto themG846: butG1161 theyG1565 understoodG1097 notG3756 what thingsG5101 they wereG2258 whichG3739 he spakeG2980 unto themG846.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto themG846 againG3825, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 the doorG2374 of the sheepG4263.
AllG3956 that everG3745 cameG2064 beforeG4253 meG1700 areG1526 thievesG2812 andG2532 robbersG3027: butG235 the sheepG4263 didG191 notG3756 hearG191 themG846.
IG1473 amG1510 the doorG2374: byG1223 meG1700 ifG1437 any manG5100 enter inG1525, he shall be savedG4982, andG2532 shall go inG1525 andG2532 outG1831, andG2532 findG2147 pastureG3542.
The thiefG2812 comethG2064 notG3756, butG1508 for toG2443 stealG2813, andG2532 to killG2380, andG2532 to destroyG622: IG1473 am comeG2064 thatG2443 they might haveG2192 lifeG2222, andG2532 that they might haveG2192 it more abundantlyG4053.
IG1473 amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166: the goodG2570 shepherdG4166 givethG5087 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 the sheepG4263.
ButG1161 he that isG5607 an hirelingG3411, andG2532 notG3756 the shepherdG4166, whoseG3739 ownG2398 the sheepG4263 areG1526 notG3756, seethG2334 the wolfG3074 comingG2064, andG2532 leavethG863 the sheepG4263, andG2532 fleethG5343: andG2532 the wolfG3074 catchethG726 themG846, andG2532 scatterethG4650 the sheepG4263.
The hirelingG3411 fleethG5343, becauseG3754 he isG2076 an hirelingG3411, andG2532+G846 carethG3199 notG3756 forG4012 the sheepG4263.
IG1473 amG1510 the goodG2570 shepherdG4166, andG2532 knowG1097 myG1699 sheep, andG2532 am knownG1097 ofG5259 mineG1699.
AsG2531 the FatherG3962 knowethG1097 meG3165, even soG2504 knowG1097 IG2504 the FatherG3962: andG2532 I lay downG5087 myG3450 lifeG5590 forG5228 the sheepG4263.
AndG2532 otherG243 sheepG4263 I haveG2192, whichG3739 areG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 thisG5026 foldG833: them alsoG2548 IG3165 mustG1163 bringG71, andG2532 they shall hearG191 myG3450 voiceG5456; andG2532 there shall beG1096 oneG3391 foldG4167, and oneG1520 shepherdG4166.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 dothG25 my FatherG3962 loveG25 meG3165, becauseG3754 IG1473 lay downG5087 myG3450 lifeG5590, thatG2443 I might takeG2983 itG846 againG3825.
No manG3762 takethG142 itG846 fromG575 meG1700, butG235 IG1473 layG5087 itG846 downG5087 ofG575 myselfG1683. I haveG2192 powerG1849 to layG5087 itG846 downG5087, andG2532 I haveG2192 powerG1849 to takeG2983 itG846 againG3825. ThisG5026 commandmentG1785 have I receivedG2983 ofG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962.
There wasG1096 a divisionG4978 thereforeG3767 againG3825 amongG1722 the JewsG2453 forG1223 theseG5128 sayingsG3056.
AndG1161 manyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 saidG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140, andG2532 is madG3105; whyG5101 hear yeG191 himG846?
OthersG243 saidG3004, TheseG5023 areG2076 notG3756 the wordsG4487 of him that hath a devilG1139. CanG3361+G1410 a devilG1140 openG455 the eyesG3788 of the blindG5185?
AndG1161 it wasG1096 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 the feast of the dedicationG1456, andG2532 it wasG2258 winterG5494.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 walkedG4043 inG1722 the templeG2411 inG1722 Solomon'sG4672 porchG4745.
ThenG3767 cameG2944 the JewsG2453 round aboutG2944 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, How longG2193+G4219 dost thou makeG142 usG2257 to doubtG5590? IfG1487 thouG4771 beG1488 the ChristG5547, tellG2036 usG2254 plainlyG3954. {make…: or, hold us in suspense}
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, I toldG2036 youG5213, andG2532 ye believedG4100 notG3756: the worksG2041 thatG3739 IG1473 doG4160 inG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 nameG3686, theyG5023 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 meG1700.
ButG235 yeG5210 believeG4100 notG3756, becauseG1063 ye areG2075 notG3756 ofG1537 myG1699 sheepG4263, asG2531 I saidG2036 unto youG5213.
MyG1699 sheepG4263 hearG191 myG3450 voiceG5456, and IG2504 knowG1097 themG846, andG2532 they followG190 meG3427:
And IG2504 giveG1325 unto themG846 eternalG166 lifeG2222; andG2532 they shallG622 neverG3364+G1519+G165 perishG622, neitherG2532+G3756 shallG726 anyG5100 man pluckG726 themG846 out ofG1537 myG3450 handG5495.
MyG3450 FatherG3962, whichG3739 gaveG1325 them meG3427, isG2076 greater thanG3187 allG3956; andG2532 noG3762 man is ableG1410 to pluckG726 them out ofG1537 myG3450 Father'sG3962 handG5495.
IG1473 andG2532 my FatherG3962 areG2070 oneG1520.
ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 took upG941 stonesG3037 againG3825 toG2443 stoneG3034 himG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, ManyG4183 goodG2570 worksG2041 have I shewedG1166 youG5213 fromG1537 myG3450 FatherG3962; forG1223 whichG4169 of thoseG846 worksG2041 do ye stoneG3034 meG3165?
The JewsG2453 answeredG611 himG846, sayingG3004, ForG4012 a goodG2570 workG2041 we stoneG3034 theeG4571 notG3756; butG235 forG4012 blasphemyG988; andG2532 becauseG3754 that thouG4771, beingG5607 a manG444, makestG4160 thyselfG4572 GodG2316.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, Is itG2076 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 yourG5216 lawG3551, IG1473 saidG2036, Ye areG2075 godsG2316?
IfG1487 he calledG2036 themG1565 godsG2316, untoG4314 whomG3739 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 cameG1096, andG2532 the scriptureG1124 cannotG3756+G1410 be brokenG3089;
SayG3004 yeG5210 of him, whomG3739 the FatherG3962 hath sanctifiedG37, andG2532 sentG649 intoG1519 the worldG2889+G3754, Thou blasphemestG987; becauseG3754 I saidG2036, I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316?
IfG1487 I doG4160 notG3756 the worksG2041 of myG3450 FatherG3962, believeG4100 meG3427 notG3361.
ButG1161 ifG1487 I doG4160, thoughG2579 ye believeG4100 notG3361 meG1698, believeG4100 the worksG2041: thatG2443 ye may knowG1097, andG2532 believeG4100, thatG3754 the FatherG3962 is inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846.
ThereforeG3767 they soughtG2212 againG3825 to takeG4084 himG846: butG2532 he escapedG1831 out ofG1537 theirG846 handG5495,
AndG2532 went awayG565 againG3825 beyondG4008 JordanG2446 intoG1519 the placeG5117 whereG3699 JohnG2491 at firstG4412 baptizedG907+G2258; andG2532 thereG1563 he abodeG3306.
AndG2532 manyG4183 resortedG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004+G3754, JohnG2491 didG4160 noG3303+G3762 miracleG4592: butG1161 all thingsG3956 thatG3745 JohnG2491 spakeG2036 ofG4012 this manG5127 wereG2258 trueG227.
AndG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846 thereG1563.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, Is itG2076 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 yourG5216 lawG3551, IG1473 saidG2036, Ye areG2075 godsG2316?
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. GodH430 standethH5324 in the congregationH5712 of the mightyH410; he judgethH8199 amongH7130 the godsH430. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
How long will ye judgeH8199 unjustlyH5766, and acceptH5375 the personsH6440 of the wickedH7563? SelahH5542.
DefendH8199 the poorH1800 and fatherlessH3490: do justiceH6663 to the afflictedH6041 and needyH7326. {Defend: Heb. Judge}
DeliverH6403 the poorH1800 and needyH34: ridH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
They knowH3045 not, neither will they understandH995; they walkH1980 on in darknessH2825: all the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776 are out of courseH4131. {out…: Heb. moved}
I have saidH559, Ye are godsH430; and all of you are childrenH1121 of the most HighH5945.
ButH403 ye shall dieH4191 like menH120, and fallH5307 like oneH259 of the princesH8269.
AriseH6965, O GodH430, judgeH8199 the earthH776: for thou shalt inheritH5157 all nationsH1471.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. GodH430 standethH5324 in the congregationH5712 of the mightyH410; he judgethH8199 amongH7130 the godsH430. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
How long will ye judgeH8199 unjustlyH5766, and acceptH5375 the personsH6440 of the wickedH7563? SelahH5542.
DefendH8199 the poorH1800 and fatherlessH3490: do justiceH6663 to the afflictedH6041 and needyH7326. {Defend: Heb. Judge}
DeliverH6403 the poorH1800 and needyH34: ridH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
They knowH3045 not, neither will they understandH995; they walkH1980 on in darknessH2825: all the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776 are out of courseH4131. {out…: Heb. moved}
I have saidH559, Ye are godsH430; and all of you are childrenH1121 of the most HighH5945.
ButH403 ye shall dieH4191 like menH120, and fallH5307 like oneH259 of the princesH8269.
AriseH6965, O GodH430, judgeH8199 the earthH776: for thou shalt inheritH5157 all nationsH1471.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. The mightyH410 GodH430, even the LORDH3068, hath spokenH1696, and calledH7121 the earthH776 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 unto the going downH3996 thereof. {of…: or, for Asaph}
Out of ZionH6726, the perfectionH4359 of beautyH3308, GodH430 hath shinedH3313.
Our GodH430 shall comeH935, and shall not keep silenceH2790: a fireH784 shall devourH398 beforeH6440 him, and it shall be veryH3966 tempestuousH8175 round aboutH5439 him.
He shall callH7121 to the heavensH8064 from aboveH5920, and to the earthH776, that he may judgeH1777 his peopleH5971.
GatherH622 my saintsH2623 together unto me; those that have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with me by sacrificeH2077.
And the heavensH8064 shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664: for GodH430 is judgeH8199 himself. SelahH5542.
HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will speakH1696; O IsraelH3478, and I will testifyH5749 against thee: I am GodH430, even thy GodH430.
I will not reproveH3198 thee for thy sacrificesH2077 or thy burnt offeringsH5930, to have been continuallyH8548 before me.
I will takeH3947 no bullockH6499 out of thy houseH1004, nor he goatsH6260 out of thy foldsH4356.
For every beastH2416 of the forestH3293 is mine, and the cattleH929 upon a thousandH505 hillsH2042.
I knowH3045 all the fowlsH5775 of the mountainsH2022: and the wild beastsH2123 of the fieldH7704 are mineH5978. {mine: Heb. with me}
If I were hungryH7456, I would not tellH559 thee: for the worldH8398 is mine, and the fulnessH4393 thereof.
Will I eatH398 the fleshH1320 of bullsH47, or drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of goatsH6260?
OfferH2076 unto GodH430 thanksgivingH8426; and payH7999 thy vowsH5088 unto the most HighH5945:
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
But unto the wickedH7563 GodH430 saithH559, What hast thou to do to declareH5608 my statutesH2706, or that thou shouldest takeH5375 my covenantH1285 in thy mouthH6310?
Seeing thou hatestH8130 instructionH4148, and castestH7993 my wordsH1697 behindH310 thee.
When thou sawestH7200 a thiefH1590, then thou consentedstH7521 with him, and hast been partakerH2506 with adulterersH5003. {hast…: Heb. thy portion was with}
Thou givestH7971 thy mouthH6310 to evilH7451, and thy tongueH3956 framethH6775 deceitH4820. {givest: Heb. sendest}
Thou sittestH3427 and speakestH1696 against thy brotherH251; thouH5414 slanderestH1848 thine own mother'sH517 sonH1121.
These things hast thou doneH6213, and I kept silenceH2790; thou thoughtestH1819 that I was altogetherH1961 such an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and set them in orderH6186 before thine eyesH5869.
Now considerH995 this, ye that forgetH7911 GodH433, lest I tear you in piecesH2963, and there be none to deliverH5337.
Whoso offerethH2076 praiseH8426 glorifiethH3513 me: and to him that orderethH7760 his conversationH1870 aright will I shewH7200 the salvationH3468 of GodH430. {that…: Heb. that disposeth his way}
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. GodH430 standethH5324 in the congregationH5712 of the mightyH410; he judgethH8199 amongH7130 the godsH430. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
How long will ye judgeH8199 unjustlyH5766, and acceptH5375 the personsH6440 of the wickedH7563? SelahH5542.
DefendH8199 the poorH1800 and fatherlessH3490: do justiceH6663 to the afflictedH6041 and needyH7326. {Defend: Heb. Judge}
DeliverH6403 the poorH1800 and needyH34: ridH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the wickedH7563.
They knowH3045 not, neither will they understandH995; they walkH1980 on in darknessH2825: all the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776 are out of courseH4131. {out…: Heb. moved}
I have saidH559, Ye are godsH430; and all of you are childrenH1121 of the most HighH5945.
ButH403 ye shall dieH4191 like menH120, and fallH5307 like oneH259 of the princesH8269.
AriseH6965, O GodH430, judgeH8199 the earthH776: for thou shalt inheritH5157 all nationsH1471.
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Keep not thou silenceH1824, O GodH430: hold not thy peaceH2790, and be not stillH8252, O GodH410. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
For, lo, thine enemiesH341 make a tumultH1993: and they that hateH8130 thee have lifted upH5375 the headH7218.
They have taken craftyH6191 counselH5475 against thy peopleH5971, and consultedH3289 against thy hidden onesH6845.
They have saidH559, ComeH3212, and let us cut them offH3582 from being a nationH1471; that the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 may be no more in remembranceH2142.
For they have consultedH3289 togetherH3162 with one consentH3820: they areH3772 confederateH1285 against thee: {consent: Heb. heart}
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;
AssurH804 also is joinedH3867 with them: they have holpenH2220 the childrenH1121 of LotH3876. SelahH5542. {holpen: Heb. been an arm to}
DoH6213 unto them as unto the MidianitesH4080; as to SiseraH5516, as to JabinH2985, at the brookH5158 of KisonH7028:
Which perishedH8045 at EndorH5874: they became as dungH1828 for the earthH127.
MakeH7896 their noblesH5081 like OrebH6159, and like ZeebH2062: yea, all their princesH5257 as ZebahH2078, and as ZalmunnaH6759:
Who saidH559, Let us take to ourselves the housesH4999 of GodH430 in possessionH3423.
O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like a wheelH1534; as the stubbleH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.
As the fireH784 burnethH1197 a woodH3293, and as the flameH3852 settethH3857 the mountainsH2022 on fireH3857;
So persecuteH7291 them with thy tempestH5591, and make them afraidH926 with thy stormH5492.
FillH4390 their facesH6440 with shameH7036; that they may seekH1245 thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068.
Let them be confoundedH954 and troubledH926 for everH5703; yea, let them be put to shameH2659, and perishH6:
That men may knowH3045 that thou, whose nameH8034 alone is JEHOVAHH3068, art the most highH5945 over all the earthH776.
A SongH7892 or PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Keep not thou silenceH1824, O GodH430: hold not thy peaceH2790, and be not stillH8252, O GodH410. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. The mightyH410 GodH430, even the LORDH3068, hath spokenH1696, and calledH7121 the earthH776 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 unto the going downH3996 thereof. {of…: or, for Asaph}
To the chief MusicianH5329, AltaschithH516, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732. Do ye indeedH552 speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, O congregationH482? do ye judgeH8199 uprightlyH4339, O ye sonsH1121 of menH120? {Altaschith…: or, Destroy not, A golden Psalm of David}
Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an aulH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.
If the thiefH1590 be notH3808 foundH4672, then the masterH1167 of the houseH1004 shall be broughtH7126 unto the judgesH430, to see whether he have putH7971 his handH3027 unto his neighbour'sH7453 goodsH4399.
For all mannerH1697 of trespassH6588, whether it be for oxH7794, for assH2543, for sheepH7716, for raimentH8008, or for any manner of lost thingH9, which another challengethH559 to be his, the causeH1697 of both partiesH8147 shall comeH935 before the judgesH430; and whom the judgesH430 shall condemnH7561, he shall payH7999 doubleH8147 unto his neighbourH7453.
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478, prophesyH5012, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto the shepherdsH7462; WoeH1945 be to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478 that do feedH7462 themselves! should not the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 the flocksH6629?
Ye eatH398 the fatH2459, and ye clotheH3847 you with the woolH6785, ye killH2076 them that are fedH1277: but ye feedH7462 not the flockH6629.
The diseasedH2470 have ye not strengthenedH2388, neither have ye healedH7495 that which was sickH2470, neither have ye bound upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, neither have ye brought againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, neither have ye soughtH1245 that which was lostH6; but with forceH2394 and with crueltyH6531 have ye ruledH7287 them.
And they were scatteredH6327, because there is no shepherdH7462: and they became meatH402 to all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, when they were scatteredH6327. {because…: or, without a shepherd}
My sheepH6629 wanderedH7686 through all the mountainsH2022, and upon every highH7311 hillH1389: yea, my flockH6629 was scatteredH6327 upon all the faceH6440 of the earthH776, and none did searchH1875 or seekH1245 after them.
Therefore, ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068;
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely because my flockH6629 became a preyH957, and my flockH6629 became meatH402 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, because there was no shepherdH7462, neither did my shepherdsH7462 searchH1875 for my flockH6629, but the shepherdsH7462 fedH7462 themselves, and fedH7462 not my flockH6629;
Therefore, O ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068;
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against the shepherdsH7462; and I will requireH1875 my flockH6629 at their handH3027, and cause them to ceaseH7673 from feedingH7462 the flockH6629; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 themselves any more; for I will deliverH5337 my flockH6629 from their mouthH6310, that they may not be meatH402 for 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.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478, prophesyH5012, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto the shepherdsH7462; WoeH1945 be to the shepherdsH7462 of IsraelH3478 that do feedH7462 themselves! should not the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 the flocksH6629?
Ye eatH398 the fatH2459, and ye clotheH3847 you with the woolH6785, ye killH2076 them that are fedH1277: but ye feedH7462 not the flockH6629.
The diseasedH2470 have ye not strengthenedH2388, neither have ye healedH7495 that which was sickH2470, neither have ye bound upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, neither have ye brought againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, neither have ye soughtH1245 that which was lostH6; but with forceH2394 and with crueltyH6531 have ye ruledH7287 them.
And they were scatteredH6327, because there is no shepherdH7462: and they became meatH402 to all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, when they were scatteredH6327. {because…: or, without a shepherd}
My sheepH6629 wanderedH7686 through all the mountainsH2022, and upon every highH7311 hillH1389: yea, my flockH6629 was scatteredH6327 upon all the faceH6440 of the earthH776, and none did searchH1875 or seekH1245 after them.
Therefore, ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068;
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely because my flockH6629 became a preyH957, and my flockH6629 became meatH402 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704, because there was no shepherdH7462, neither did my shepherdsH7462 searchH1875 for my flockH6629, but the shepherdsH7462 fedH7462 themselves, and fedH7462 not my flockH6629;
Therefore, O ye shepherdsH7462, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068;
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against the shepherdsH7462; and I will requireH1875 my flockH6629 at their handH3027, and cause them to ceaseH7673 from feedingH7462 the flockH6629; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 feedH7462 themselves any more; for I will deliverH5337 my flockH6629 from their mouthH6310, that they may not be meatH402 for 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.
The LORDH3068 standeth upH5324 to pleadH7378, and standethH5975 to judgeH1777 the peopleH5971.
The LORDH3068 will enterH935 into judgmentH4941 with the ancientsH2205 of his peopleH5971, and the princesH8269 thereof: for ye have eaten upH1197 the vineyardH3754; the spoilH1500 of the poorH6041 is in your housesH1004. {eaten: or, burnt}
What mean ye that ye beatH1792 my peopleH5971 to piecesH1792, and grindH2912 the facesH6440 of the poorH6041? saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, Is itG2076 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 yourG5216 lawG3551, IG1473 saidG2036, Ye areG2075 godsG2316?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SeeH7200, I have madeH5414 thee a godH430 to PharaohH6547: and AaronH175 thy brotherH251 shall be thy prophetH5030.
The LORDH3068 standeth upH5324 to pleadH7378, and standethH5975 to judgeH1777 the peopleH5971.
Let everyG3956 soulG5590 be subjectG5293 unto the higherG5242 powersG1849. ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 powerG1849 butG1508 ofG575 GodG2316+G1161: the powersG1849 that beG5607 areG1526 ordainedG5021 ofG5259 GodG2316. {ordained: or, ordered}
Whosoever thereforeG5620 resistethG498 the powerG1849, resistethG436 the ordinanceG1296 of GodG2316: andG1161 they that resistG436 shall receiveG2983 to themselvesG1438 damnationG2917.
ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
BlessedG3107 are they whichG3588 do hungerG3983 andG2532 thirstG1372 after righteousnessG1343: forG3754 theyG846 shall be filledG5526.
The visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, which he sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063.
HearH8085, O heavensH8064, and give earH238, O earthH776: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, I have nourishedH1431 and brought upH7311 childrenH1121, and they have rebelledH6586 against me.
The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his ownerH7069, and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 cribH18: but IsraelH3478 doth not knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth not considerH995.
AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nationH1471, a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquityH5771, a seedH2233 of evildoersH7489, childrenH1121 that are corruptersH7843: they have forsakenH5800+H853 the LORDH3068, they have provokedH5006+H853 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 unto angerH5006, they are gone awayH2114 backwardH268. {laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone…: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
Why should ye be strickenH5221 any more? ye will revoltH5627 more and moreH3254: the whole headH7218 is sickH2483, and the whole heartH3824 faintH1742. {revolt…: Heb. increase revolt}
From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even unto the headH7218 there is no soundnessH4974 in it; but woundsH6482, and bruisesH2250, and putrifyingH2961 soresH4347: they have not been closedH2115, neither bound upH2280, neither mollifiedH7401 with ointmentH8081. {ointment: or, oil}
Your countryH776 is desolateH8077, your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fireH784: your landH127, strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presence, and it is desolateH8077, as overthrownH4114 by strangersH2114. {overthrown…: Heb. the overthrow of}
And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a cottageH5521 in a vineyardH3754, as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbersH4750, as a besiegedH5341 cityH5892.
ExceptH3884 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498 unto us a very smallH4592 remnantH8300, we should have beenH1961 as SodomH5467, and we should have been likeH1819 unto GomorrahH6017.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye rulersH7101 of SodomH5467; give earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our GodH430, ye peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017.
To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559 the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burnt offeringsH5930 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beastsH4806; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocksH6499, or of lambsH3532, or of he goatsH6260. {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to treadH7429 my courtsH2691? {to appear: Heb. to be seen}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hatethH8130: they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them.
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
WashH7364 you, make you cleanH2135; put awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to do evilH7489;
LearnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieveH833 the oppressedH2541, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. {relieve: or, righten}
Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
If ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776:
But if ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
How is the faithfulH539 cityH7151 become an harlotH2181! it was fullH4392 of judgmentH4941; righteousnessH6664 lodgedH3885 in it; but now murderersH7523.
Thy silverH3701 is become drossH5509, thy wineH5435 mixedH4107 with waterH4325:
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
Therefore saithH5002 the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the mighty OneH46 of IsraelH3478, AhH1945, I will easeH5162 me of mine adversariesH6862, and avengeH5358 me of mine enemiesH341:
And I will turnH7725 my handH3027 upon thee, and purelyH1253 purge awayH6884 thy drossH5509, and take awayH5493 all thy tinH913: {purely: Heb. according to pureness}
And I will restoreH7725 thy judgesH8199 as at the firstH7223, and thy counsellorsH3289 as at the beginningH8462: afterwardH310 thou shalt be calledH7121, The cityH5892 of righteousnessH6664, the faithfulH539 cityH7151.
ZionH6726 shall be redeemedH6299 with judgmentH4941, and her convertsH7725 with righteousnessH6666. {her…: or, they that return of her}
And the destructionH7667 of the transgressorsH6586 and of the sinnersH2400 shall be togetherH3162, and they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 shall be consumedH3615. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For they shall be ashamedH954 of the oaksH352 which ye have desiredH2530, and ye shall be confoundedH2659 for the gardensH1593 that ye have chosenH977.
For ye shall be as an oakH424 whose leafH5929 fadethH5034, and as a gardenH1593 that hath no waterH4325.
And the strongH2634 shall be as towH5296, and the makerH6467 of it as a sparkH5213, and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197 togetherH3162, and none shall quenchH3518 them. {maker…: or, and his work}
LearnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieveH833 the oppressedH2541, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. {relieve: or, righten}
The visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, which he sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063.
HearH8085, O heavensH8064, and give earH238, O earthH776: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, I have nourishedH1431 and brought upH7311 childrenH1121, and they have rebelledH6586 against me.
The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his ownerH7069, and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 cribH18: but IsraelH3478 doth not knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth not considerH995.
AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nationH1471, a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquityH5771, a seedH2233 of evildoersH7489, childrenH1121 that are corruptersH7843: they have forsakenH5800+H853 the LORDH3068, they have provokedH5006+H853 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 unto angerH5006, they are gone awayH2114 backwardH268. {laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone…: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
Why should ye be strickenH5221 any more? ye will revoltH5627 more and moreH3254: the whole headH7218 is sickH2483, and the whole heartH3824 faintH1742. {revolt…: Heb. increase revolt}
From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even unto the headH7218 there is no soundnessH4974 in it; but woundsH6482, and bruisesH2250, and putrifyingH2961 soresH4347: they have not been closedH2115, neither bound upH2280, neither mollifiedH7401 with ointmentH8081. {ointment: or, oil}
Your countryH776 is desolateH8077, your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fireH784: your landH127, strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presence, and it is desolateH8077, as overthrownH4114 by strangersH2114. {overthrown…: Heb. the overthrow of}
And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a cottageH5521 in a vineyardH3754, as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbersH4750, as a besiegedH5341 cityH5892.
ExceptH3884 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498 unto us a very smallH4592 remnantH8300, we should have beenH1961 as SodomH5467, and we should have been likeH1819 unto GomorrahH6017.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye rulersH7101 of SodomH5467; give earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our GodH430, ye peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017.
To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559 the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burnt offeringsH5930 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beastsH4806; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocksH6499, or of lambsH3532, or of he goatsH6260. {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to treadH7429 my courtsH2691? {to appear: Heb. to be seen}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
