Be thou instructedh3256h8734, O Jerusalemh3389, lest my soulh5315 departh3363h8799 from thee; lest I makeh7760h8799 thee desolateh8077, a landh776 not inhabitedh3427h8738. depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, They shall throughlyh5953h8780 gleanh5953h8779 the remnanth7611 of Israelh3478 as a vineh1612: turn backh7725h8685 thine handh3027 as a grapegathererh1219h8802 into the basketsh5552.

10

To whom shall I speakh1696h8762, and give warningh5749h8686, that they may hearh8085h8799? behold, their earh241 is uncircumcisedh6189, and they cannoth3201h8799 hearkenh7181h8687: behold, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 is unto them a reproachh2781; they have no delighth2654h8799 in it.

11

Therefore I am fullh4392 of the furyh2534 of the LORDh3068; I am wearyh3811h8738 with holding inh3557h8687: I will pour it outh8210h8800 upon the childrenh5768 abroadh2351, and upon the assemblyh5475 of young menh970 togetherh3162: for even the husbandh376 with the wifeh802 shall be takenh3920h8735, the agedh2205 with him that is fullh4390h8804 of daysh3117.

12

And their housesh1004 shall be turnedh5437h8738 unto othersh312, with their fieldsh7704 and wivesh802 togetherh3162: for I will stretch outh5186h8686 my handh3027 upon the inhabitantsh3427h8802 of the landh776, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

13

For from the leasth6996 of them even unto the greatesth1419 of them every one is givenh1214h8802 to covetousnessh1215; and from the propheth5030 even unto the priesth3548 every one dealethh6213h8802 falselyh8267.

They have healedh7495h8762 also the hurth7667 of the daughterh1323h8676 of my peopleh5971 slightlyh7043h8738, sayingh559h8800, Peaceh7965, peaceh7965; when there is no peaceh7965. hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach

Were they ashamedh3001h8689 when they had committedh6213h8804 abominationh8441? nayh1571, they were not at allh954h8800 ashamedh954h8799, neitherh1571 couldh3045h8804 they blushh3637h8687: therefore they shall fallh5307h8799 among them that fallh5307h8802: at the timeh6256 that I visith6485h8804 them they shall be cast downh3782h8735, saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068.

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, Standh5975h8798 ye in the waysh1870, and seeh7200h8799, and askh7592h8798 for the oldh5769 pathsh5410, where is the goodh2896 wayh1870, and walkh3212h8799 therein, and ye shall findh4672h8798 resth4771 for your soulsh5315. But they saidh559h8799, We will not walkh3212h8798 therein .

17

Also I seth6965h8689 watchmenh6822h8802 over you, saying , Hearkenh7181h8685 to the soundh6963 of the trumpeth7782. But they saidh559h8799, We will not hearkenh7181h8686.

18

Therefore hearh8085h8798, ye nationsh1471, and knowh3045h8798, O congregationh5712, what is among them.

19

Hearh8085h8798, O earthh776: behold, I will bringh935h8688 evilh7451 upon this peopleh5971, even the fruith6529 of their thoughtsh4284, because they have not hearkenedh7181h8689 unto my wordsh1697, nor to my lawh8451, but rejectedh3988h8799 it.

20

To what purpose comethh935h8799 there to me incenseh3828 from Shebah7614, and the sweeth2896 caneh7070 from a farh4801 countryh776? your burnt offeringsh5930 are not acceptableh7522, nor your sacrificesh2077 sweeth6149h8804 unto me.

21

Therefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, Behold, I will layh5414h8802 stumblingblocksh4383 before this peopleh5971, and the fathersh1 and the sonsh1121 togetherh3162 shall fallh3782h8804 upon them; the neighbourh7934 and his friendh7453 shall perishh6h8804.

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, Behold, a peopleh5971 comethh935h8802 from the northh6828 countryh776, and a greath1419 nationh1471 shall be raisedh5782h8735 from the sidesh3411 of the earthh776.

23

They shall lay holdh2388h8686 on bowh7198 and spearh3591; they are cruelh394, and have no mercyh7355h8762; their voiceh6963 roarethh1993h8799 like the seah3220; and they rideh7392h8799 upon horsesh5483, set in arrayh6186h8803 as menh376 for warh4421 against thee, O daughterh1323 of Zionh6726.

24

We have heardh8085h8804 the fameh8089 thereof: our handsh3027 wax feebleh7503h8804: anguishh6869 hath taken holdh2388h8689 of us, and painh2427, as of a woman in travailh3205h8802.

25

Go not forthh3318h8799 into the fieldh7704, nor walkh3212h8799 by the wayh1870; for the swordh2719 of the enemyh341h8802 and fearh4032 is on every sideh5439.

26

O daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971, girdh2296h8798 thee with sackclothh8242, and wallowh6428h8690 thyself in ashesh665: makeh6213h8798 thee mourningh60, as for an only sonh3173, most bitterh8563 lamentationh4553: for the spoilerh7703h8802 shall suddenlyh6597 comeh935h8799 upon us.

27

I have seth5414h8804 thee for a towerh969 and a fortressh4013 among my peopleh5971, that thou mayest knowh3045h8799 and tryh974h8804 their wayh1870.

28

They are all grievoush5493h8802 revoltersh5637h8802, walkingh1980h8802 with slandersh7400: they are brassh5178 and ironh1270; they are all corruptersh7843h8688.

29

The bellowsh4647 are burnedh2787h8738, the leadh5777 is consumedh8552h8804 of the fireh800h784; the founderh6884h8800 meltethh6884h8804 in vainh7723: for the wickedh7451 are not plucked awayh5423h8738.

30
