In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
Then saidH559 he unto me, This is the curseH423 that goeth forthH3318 over the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776: for every one that stealethH1589 shall be cut offH5352 as on this side accordingH3644 to it; and every one that swearethH7650 shall be cut offH5352 as on that side accordingH3644 to it. {every one that stealeth…: or, every one of this people that stealeth holdeth himself guiltless, as it doth}
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shewH6213 mercyH2617 and compassionsH7356 every manH376 to his brotherH251: {Execute…: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}
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}
Should ye not hear the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath criedH7121 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030, when JerusalemH3389 was inhabitedH3427 and in prosperityH7961, and the citiesH5892 thereof round about herH5439, when men inhabitedH3427 the southH5045 and the plainH8219? {Should…: or, Are not these the words} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
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}

Upon the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 SebatH7627, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
And it came to pass in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of kingH4428 DariusH1867, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto ZechariahH2148 in the fourthH702 day of the ninthH8671 monthH2320, even in ChisleuH3691;
In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
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.

Upon the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 SebatH7627, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
I sawH7200 by nightH3915, and behold a manH376 ridingH7392 upon a redH122 horseH5483, and he stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918 that were in the bottomH4699; and behindH310 him were there redH122 horsesH5483, speckledH8320, and whiteH3836. {speckled: or, bay}
Then saidH559 I, O my lordH113, what are these? And the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, I will shewH7200 thee what these be.
And the manH376 that stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918 answeredH6030 and saidH559, These are they whom the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 to walkH1980 to and fro through the earthH776.
And they answeredH6030 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 that stoodH5975 among the myrtle treesH1918, and saidH559, We have walked to and froH1980 through the earthH776, and, behold, all the earthH776 sitteth stillH3427, and is at restH8252.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 and saidH559, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, how long wilt thou not have mercyH7355 on JerusalemH3389 and on the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, against which thou hast had indignationH2194 these threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141?
And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me with goodH2896 wordsH1697 and comfortableH5150 wordsH1697.
So the angelH4397 that communedH1696 with me saidH559 unto me, CryH7121 thou, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; I am jealousH7065 for JerusalemH3389 and for ZionH6726 with a greatH1419 jealousyH7068.
And I am veryH1419 soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with the heathenH1471 that are at easeH7600: for I was but a littleH4592 displeasedH7107, and they helpedH5826 forward the afflictionH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; I am returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with merciesH7356: my houseH1004 shall be builtH1129 in it, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and a lineH6957+H6961 shall be stretched forthH5186 upon JerusalemH3389.
CryH7121 yet, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; My citiesH5892 through prosperityH2896 shall yet be spread abroadH6327; and the LORDH3068 shall yet comfortH5162 ZionH6726, and shall yet chooseH977 JerusalemH3389. {prosperity: Heb. good}
In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Upon the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 SebatH7627, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 all his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117; that all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and overtakeH5381 thee:
Moreover all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and shall pursueH7291 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, till thou be destroyedH8045; because thou hearkenedstH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which he commandedH6680 thee:
And all these blessingsH1293 shall comeH935 on thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, if thou shalt hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
I smoteH5221 you with blastingH7711 and with mildewH3420 and with hailH1259 in all the laboursH4639 of your handsH3027; yet ye turned not to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Therefore turnH7725 thou to thy GodH430: keepH8104 mercyH2617 and judgmentH4941, and waitH6960 on thy GodH430 continuallyH8548.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Even from the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 ye are gone awayH5493 from mine ordinancesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. But ye saidH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725?
He that hathG2192 myG3450 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 keepethG5083 themG846, heG1565 it isG2076 that lovethG25 meG3165: andG1161 he that lovethG25 meG3165 shall be lovedG25 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 IG1473 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 will manifestG1718 myselfG1683 to himG846.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1437 a manG5100 loveG25 meG3165, he will keepG5083 myG3450 wordsG3056: andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 we will comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 makeG4160 our abodeG3438 withG3844 himG846.
Draw nighG1448 to GodG2316, andG2532 he will draw nighG1448 to youG5213. CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, ye sinnersG268; andG2532 purifyG48 your heartsG2588, ye double mindedG1374.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
The fathersH1 shall not be put to deathH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 be put to deathH4191 for the fathersH1: every manH376 shall be put to deathH4191 for his own sinH2399.
Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
And yetH637 for all thatH2063, when they beH1571 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, I will not cast them awayH3988, neither will I abhorH1602 them, to destroy them utterlyH3615, and to breakH6565 my covenantH1285 with them: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But I will for their sakes rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of their ancestorsH7223, whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, that I might be their GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
IfG1487 we believe notG569, yet heG1565 abidethG3306 faithfulG4103: he cannotG3756+G1410 denyG720 himselfG1438.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
BlessedH835 are they that keepH5341 his testimoniesH5713, and that seekH1875 him with the whole heartH3820.
They also doH6466 no iniquityH5766: they walkH1980 in his waysH1870.
Thou hast commandedH6680 us to keepH8104 thy preceptsH6490 diligentlyH3966.
O thatH305 my waysH1870 were directedH3559 to keepH8104 thy statutesH2706!
Then shall I not be ashamedH954, when I have respectH5027 unto all thy commandmentsH4687.
I will praiseH3034 thee with uprightnessH3476 of heartH3824, when I shall have learnedH3925 thy righteousH6664 judgmentsH4941. {thy…: Heb. judgments of thy righteousness}
I will keepH8104 thy statutesH2706: O forsakeH5800 me not utterlyH3966.
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Your fathersH1, where are they? and the prophetsH5030, do they liveH2421 for everH5769?
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
ButG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889.
In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559,
In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428, in the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030 unto ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of} {governor: or, captain}
Then ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and the spiritH7307 of all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and didH6213 workH4399 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, their GodH430,
In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Draw nighG1448 to GodG2316, andG2532 he will draw nighG1448 to youG5213. CleanseG2511 your handsG5495, ye sinnersG268; andG2532 purifyG48 your heartsG2588, ye double mindedG1374.
And he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; The LORDH3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. {to meet…: Heb. before Asa}
Then spakeH559 HaggaiH2292 the LORD'SH3068 messengerH4397 in the LORD'SH3068 messageH4400 unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Yet now be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and workH6213: for I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
To whom he saidH559, This is the restH4496 wherewith ye may cause the wearyH5889 to restH5117; and this is the refreshingH4774: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085.
Only acknowledgeH3045 thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586 against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340 thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And now, because ye have doneH6213 all these worksH4639, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I spakeH1696 unto you, rising up earlyH7925 and speakingH1696, but ye heardH8085 not; and I calledH7121 you, but ye answeredH6030 not;
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440. {imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}
Since the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 came forth outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117 I have even sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them:
Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1.
Therefore thou shalt speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 unto them; but they will not hearkenH8085 to thee: thou shalt also callH7121 unto them; but they will not answerH6030 thee.
But thou shalt sayH559 unto them, This is a nationH1471 that obeyethH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor receivethH3947 correctionH4148: truthH530 is perishedH6, and is cut offH3772 from their mouthH6310. {correction: or, instruction}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, ProclaimH7121 all these wordsH1697 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them.
For I earnestlyH5749 protestedH5749 unto your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, rising earlyH7925 and protestingH5749, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963.
Yet they obeyedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 every oneH376 in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820: therefore I will bringH935 upon them all the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, which I commandedH6680 them to doH6213; but they didH6213 them not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
For as the girdleH232 cleavethH1692 to the loinsH4975 of a manH376, so have I caused to cleaveH1692 unto me the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the whole houseH1004 of JudahH3063, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that they might be unto me for a peopleH5971, and for a nameH8034, and for a praiseH8416, and for a gloryH8597: but they would not hearH8085.
But they obeyedH8085 not, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241, but made their neckH6203 stiffH7185, that they might not hearH8085, nor receiveH3947 instructionH4148.
Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190.
And they saidH559, There is no hopeH2976: but we will walkH3212 afterH310 our own devicesH4284, and we will every oneH376 doH6213 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.
Then saidH559 they, ComeH3212, and let us deviseH2803 devicesH4284 against JeremiahH3414; for the lawH8451 shall not perishH6 from the priestH3548, nor counselH6098 from the wiseH2450, nor the wordH1697 from the prophetH5030. ComeH3212, and let us smiteH5221 him with the tongueH3956, and let us not give heedH7181 to any of his wordsH1697. {with…: or, for the tongue}
I spakeH1696 unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidstH559, I will not hearH8085. This hath been thy mannerH1870 from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedstH8085 not my voiceH6963. {prosperity: Heb. prosperities}
From the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, even unto this dayH3117, that is the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 hath come unto me, and I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye have not hearkenedH8085.
And the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 unto you all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye have not hearkenedH8085, nor inclinedH5186 your earH241 to hearH8085.
They saidH559, Turn ye againH7725 now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and dwellH3427 in the landH127 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 unto you and to your fathersH1 forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769:
And goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, and provoke me not to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027; and I will do you no hurtH7489.
Yet ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that ye might provoke me to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027 to your own hurtH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Because ye have not heardH8085 my wordsH1697,
Because they have not hearkenedH8085 to my wordsH1697, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which I sentH7971 unto them by my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye would not hearH8085, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
And they came inH935, and possessedH3423 it; but they obeyedH8085 not thy voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 in thy lawH8451; they have doneH6213 nothing of all that thou commandedstH6680 them to doH6213: therefore thou hast caused all this evilH7451 to comeH7122 upon them:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 upon JudahH3063 and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them: because I have spokenH1696 unto them, but they have not heardH8085; and I have calledH7121 unto them, but they have not answeredH6030.
And I will punishH6485 him and his seedH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771; and I will bringH935 upon them, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and upon the menH376 of JudahH3063, all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them; but they hearkenedH8085 not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And now I have this dayH3117 declaredH5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, nor any thing for the which he hath sentH7971 me unto you.
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241 to turnH7725 from their wickednessH7451, to burn no incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430.
As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH2389+H4696 and hardheartedH7186+H3820. {impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
They shall bring thee downH3381 to the pitH7845, and thou shalt dieH4191 the deathsH4463 of them that are slainH2491 in the midstH3820 of the seasH3220.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
O IsraelH3478, returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; for thou hast fallenH3782 by thine iniquityH5771.
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696 concerning you; all are come to passH935 unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof.
WhoG3739 didG4160 noG3756 sinG266, neitherG3761 was guileG1388 foundG2147 inG1722 hisG846 mouthG4750:
WhoG3739, when he was reviledG3058, reviledG486 notG3756 againG486; when he sufferedG3958, he threatenedG546 notG3756; butG1161 committedG3860 himself to him that judgethG2919 righteouslyG1346: {himself: or, his cause}
WhoG3739 his own selfG846 bareG399 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bodyG4983 onG1909 the treeG3586, thatG2443 weG2198, being deadG581 to sinsG266, should liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343: byG3739 whoseG846 stripesG3468 ye were healedG2390. {on: or, to}
ForG1063 ye wereG2258 asG5613 sheepG4263 going astrayG4105; butG235 areG1994 nowG3568 returnedG1994 untoG1909 the ShepherdG4166 andG2532 BishopG1985 of yourG5216 soulsG5590.
GoH1980 and speakH559 to EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall be accomplished in that dayH3117 beforeH6440 thee.
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.
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
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.
It is a fearful thingG5398 to fallG1706 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
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.
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064. {trespass: or, guiltiness}
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it, and builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
Now in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, which was the nineteenthH8672+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018, captainH7227 of the guardH2876, which servedH5975+H6440 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, into JerusalemH3389, {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {served: Heb. stood before}
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 cameH935 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 unto JerusalemH3389, and besiegedH6696 it.
And in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 NebuchadnezzarH5019 dreamedH2492 dreamsH2472, wherewith his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470, and his sleepH8142 brakeH1961 from him.
ThouH607, O kingH4430, art a kingH4430 of kingsH4430: for the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 thee a kingdomH4437, powerH2632, and strengthH8632, and gloryH3367.
And wheresoeverH3606 the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowlsH5776 of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath made thee rulerH7981 over them allH3606. ThouH607 art this headH7217 of goldH1722.
And afterH870 thee shall ariseH6966 anotherH317 kingdomH4437 inferiorH772 to theeH4481, and anotherH317 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of brassH5174, which shall bear ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772.
And the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 strongH8624 as ironH6523: forasmuch as ironH6523 breaketh in piecesH1855 and subduethH2827 allH3606 things: and asH6903 ironH6523 that breakethH7490 allH3606 theseH459, shall it break in piecesH1855 and bruiseH7490.
And whereas thou sawestH2370 the feetH7271 and toesH677, partH4481 of potters'H6353 clayH2635, and partH4481 of ironH6523, the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 dividedH6386; butH4481 there shall beH1934 in it ofH4481 the strengthH5326 of the ironH6523, forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635.
And as the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635, so the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 partlyH4481+H7118 strongH8624, and partlyH4481+H7118 brokenH8406. {broken: or, brittle}
And whereasH1768 thou sawestH2370 ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635, they shall mingle themselvesH1934+H6151 with the seedH2234 of menH606: but they shallH1934 notH3809 cleaveH1693 oneH1836 toH5974 anotherH1836, evenH1888 as ironH6523 is notH3809 mixedH6151 with clayH2635. {one…: Cald. this with this}
And in the daysH3118 of theseH581 kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 set upH6966 a kingdomH4437, which shall neverH5957+H3809 be destroyedH2255: and the kingdomH4437 shall notH3809 be leftH7662 to otherH321 peopleH5972, but it shall break in piecesH1855 and consumeH5487 allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, and itH1932 shall standH6966 for everH5957. {the days: Cald. their days} {the kingdom: Cald the kingdom thereof}
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}
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096 of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {in old time: or, at any time}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came unto HoseaH1954, the sonH1121 of BeeriH882, in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to MicahH4318 the MorasthiteH4183 in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which he sawH2372 concerning SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.
In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428, in the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030 unto ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of} {governor: or, captain}
And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of the most highH5945 GodH410, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776:
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 lifeG2222 eternalG166, thatG2443 they might knowG1097 theeG4571 the onlyG3441 trueG228 GodG2316, andG2532 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whomG3739 thou hast sentG649.
ButG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889.
Yet he sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them, to bring them againH7725 unto the LORDH3068; and they testifiedH5749 against them: but they would not give earH238.
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440. {imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}
Since the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 came forth outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117 I have even sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them:
Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1.
Therefore thou shalt speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 unto them; but they will not hearkenH8085 to thee: thou shalt also callH7121 unto them; but they will not answerH6030 thee.
But thou shalt sayH559 unto them, This is a nationH1471 that obeyethH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor receivethH3947 correctionH4148: truthH530 is perishedH6, and is cut offH3772 from their mouthH6310. {correction: or, instruction}
But if ye will not do soH6213, behold, ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068: and be sureH3045 your sinH2403 will find you outH4672.
Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 on highH4791, and beholdH7200 who hath createdH1254 these things, that bringeth outH3318 their hostH6635 by numberH4557: he callethH7121 them all by namesH8034 by the greatnessH7230 of his mightH202, for that he is strongH533 in powerH3581; not oneH376 failethH5737.
PraiseH1984 ye him, all his angelsH4397: praiseH1984 ye him, all his hostsH6635.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
Thinkest thouG1380 thatG3754 I cannotG3756+G1410 nowG737 prayG3870 to myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 he shall presently giveG3936 meG3427 moreG4119 thanG2228 twelveG1427 legionsG3003 of angelsG32?
And he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; The LORDH3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. {to meet…: Heb. before Asa}
So the postsH7323 wentH3212 with the lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559, Ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, and he will returnH7725 to the remnantH7604 of you, that are escapedH6413 out of the handH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804. {from: Heb. from the hand}
Even from the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 ye are gone awayH5493 from mine ordinancesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. But ye saidH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725?
GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559, ReturnH7725, thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307 upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201 anger for everH5769.
Therefore I will judgeH8199 you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. RepentH7725, and turnH7725 yourselves from all your transgressionsH6588; so iniquityH5771 shall not be your ruinH4383. {yourselves: or, others}
But he slewH4191 not their childrenH1121, but did as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872, where the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, The fathersH1 shall not dieH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 dieH4191 for the fathersH1, but every manH376 shall dieH4191 for his own sinH2399.
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.
At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190.
And they saidH559, There is no hopeH2976: but we will walkH3212 afterH310 our own devicesH4284, and we will every oneH376 doH6213 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.
Or have foundH4672 that which was lostH9, and liethH3584 concerning it, and swearethH7650 falselyH8267; in anyH259 of all these that a manH120 doethH6213, sinningH2398 thereinH2007:
But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764: for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the accursed thingH2764: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
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.
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.
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
O LordH136, righteousnessH6666 belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusionH1322 of facesH6440, as at this dayH3117; to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and unto all IsraelH3478, that are nearH7138, and that are far offH7350, through all the countriesH776 whither thou hast drivenH5080 them, because of their trespassH4604 that they have trespassedH4603 against thee. {belongeth…: or, thou hast}
O LORDH3068, to us belongeth confusionH1322 of faceH6440, to our kingsH4428, to our princesH8269, and to our fathersH1, because we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
To the LordH136 our GodH430 belong merciesH7356 and forgivenessesH5547, though we have rebelledH4775 against him;
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
As it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, all this evilH7451 is comeH935 upon us: yet made we not our prayerH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that we might turnH7725 from our iniquitiesH5771, and understandH7919 thy truthH571. {made…: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
And now, O LordH136 our GodH430, that hast broughtH3318 thy peopleH5971 forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and hast gottenH6213 thee renownH8034, as at this dayH3117; we have sinnedH2398, we have done wickedlyH7561. {gotten…: Heb. made thee a name}
O LordH136, according to all thy righteousnessH6666, I beseech thee, let thine angerH639 and thy furyH2534 be turned awayH7725 from thy cityH5892 JerusalemH3389, thy holyH6944 mountainH2022: because for our sinsH2399, and for the iniquitiesH5771 of our fathersH1, JerusalemH3389 and thy peopleH5971 are become a reproachH2781 to all that are aboutH5439 us.
Now therefore, O our GodH430, hearH8085 the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and his supplicationsH8469, and cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy sanctuaryH4720 that is desolateH8076, for the Lord'sH136 sake.
O my GodH430, inclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 our desolationsH8074, and the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034: for we do not presentH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 thee for our righteousnessesH6666, but for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356. {which…: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
O LordH136, hearH8085; O LordH136, forgiveH5545; O LordH136, hearkenH7181 and doH6213; deferH309 notH408, for thine own sake, O my GodH430: for thy cityH5892 and thy peopleH5971 are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034.
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
And saidH559, O my GodH430, I am ashamedH954 and blushH3637 to lift upH7311 my faceH6440 to thee, my GodH430: for our iniquitiesH5771 are increasedH7235 overH4605 our headH7218, and our trespassH819 is grown upH1431 unto the heavensH8064. {trespass: or, guiltiness}
Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
ForG1360 allG3956 fleshG4561 is asG5613 grassG5528, andG2532 allG3956 the gloryG1391 of manG444 asG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 witherethG3583, andG2532 the flowerG438 thereofG846 falleth awayG1601: {For: or, For that}
The grassH2682 witherethH3001, the flowerH6731 fadethH5034: but the wordH1697 of our GodH430 shall standH6965 for everH5769.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
MoreoverG1161+G2532 I will endeavourG4704 that yeG5209 may be ableG2192 afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to haveG4160 these thingsG5130 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
ButG1161 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 endurethG3306 forG1519 everG165. AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the wordG4487 whichG3588 by the gospel is preachedG2097 untoG1519 youG5209.
And it came to pass, when the judgeH8199 was deadH4194, that they returnedH7725, and corruptedH7843 themselves more than their fathersH1, in followingH3212+H310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to bow downH7812 unto them; they ceasedH5307 not from their own doingsH4611, nor from their stubbornH7186 wayH1870. {corrupted…: or, were corrupt} {ceased…: Heb. let nothing fall of their}
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AbijahH29, and his waysH1870, and his sayingsH1697, are writtenH3789 in the storyH4097 of the prophetH5030 IddoH5714.
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, I wouldG2309 notG3756 that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50, how thatG3754 allG3956 ourG2257 fathersG3962 wereG2258 underG5259 the cloudG3507, andG2532 allG3956 passedG1330 throughG1223 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 wereG907 allG3956 baptizedG907 untoG1519 MosesG3475 inG1722 the cloudG3507 andG2532 inG1722 the seaG2281;
AndG2532 didG5315 allG3956 eatG5315 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 meatG1033;
AndG2532 didG4095 allG3956 drinkG4095 the sameG846 spiritualG4152 drinkG4188: forG1063 they drankG4095 ofG1537 that spiritualG4152 RockG4073 that followed themG190: andG1161 that RockG4073 wasG2258 ChristG5547. {followed…: or, went with them}
ButG235 withG1722 manyG4119 of themG846 GodG2316 wasG2106 notG3756 well pleasedG2106: forG1063 they were overthrownG2693 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
NowG1161 these thingsG5023 wereG1096 ourG2257 examplesG5179, to the intentG1519 weG2248 shouldG1511 notG3361 lust after evilG2556 thingsG1938, asG2531 they alsoG2548 lustedG1937. {our…: Gr. our figures}
NeitherG3366 be yeG1096 idolatersG1496, asG2531 were someG5100 of themG846; asG5613 it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 sat downG2523 to eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 rose upG450 to playG3815.
NeitherG3366 let us commit fornicationG4203, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 committedG4203, andG2532 fellG4098 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250 threeG5140 and twentyG1501 thousandG5505.
NeitherG3366 let us temptG1598 ChristG5547, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 temptedG3985, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 serpentsG3789.
NeitherG3366 murmur yeG1111, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 murmuredG1111, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 the destroyerG3644.
NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
WhereforeG5620 letG991 him that thinkethG1380 he standethG2476 take heedG991 lestG3361 he fallG4098.
There hathG2983 noG3756 temptationG3986 takenG2983 youG5209 butG1508 such as is common to manG442: butG1161 GodG2316 is faithfulG4103, whoG3739 willG1439 notG3756 sufferG1439 youG5209 to be temptedG3985 aboveG5228 thatG3739 ye are ableG1410; butG235 willG4160 withG4862 the temptationG3986 alsoG2532 makeG4160 a way to escapeG1545, that yeG5209 may be ableG1410 to bearG5297 it. {common…: or, moderate}
