1

Woeh1945 be unto the pastorsh7462h8802 that destroyh6h8764 and scatterh6327h8688 the sheeph6629 of my pastureh4830! saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

2

Therefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 against the pastorsh7462h8802 that feedh7462h8802 my peopleh5971; Ye have scatteredh6327h8689 my flockh6629, and driven them awayh5080h8686, and have not visitedh6485h8804 them: behold, I will visith6485h8802 upon you the evilh7455 of your doingsh4611, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

3

And I will gatherh6908h8762 the remnanth7611 of my flockh6629 out of all countriesh776 whither I have drivenh5080h8689 them, and will bring them againh7725h8689 to their foldsh5116; and they shall be fruitfulh6509h8804 and increaseh7235h8804.

4

And I will set uph6965h8689 shepherdsh7462h8802 over them which shall feedh7462h8804 them: and they shall fearh3372h8799 no more, nor be dismayedh2865h8735, neither shall they be lackingh6485h8735, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

5

Behold, the daysh3117 comeh935h8802, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, that I will raiseh6965h8689 unto Davidh1732 a righteoush6662 Branchh6780, and a Kingh4428 shall reignh4427h8804 and prosperh7919h8689, and shall executeh6213h8804 judgmenth4941 and justiceh6666 in the earthh776.

6

In his daysh3117 Judahh3063 shall be savedh3467h8735, and Israelh3478 shall dwellh7931h8799 safelyh983: and this is his nameh8034 whereby he shall be calledh7121h8799, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSh3072. THE LORD...: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu

7

Therefore, behold, the daysh3117 comeh935h8802, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, that they shall no more sayh559h8799, The LORDh3068 livethh2416, which brought uph5927h8689 the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714;

8

But, The LORDh3068 livethh2416, which brought uph5927h8689 and which ledh935h8689 the seedh2233 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478 out of the northh6828 countryh776, and from all countriesh776 whither I had drivenh5080h8689 them; and they shall dwellh3427h8804 in their own landh127.

9

Mine hearth3820 withinh7130 me is brokenh7665h8738 because of the prophetsh5030; all my bonesh6106 shakeh7363h8804; I am like a drunkenh7910 manh376, and like a manh1397 whom wineh3196 hath overcomeh5674h8804, becauseh6440 of the LORDh3068, and because of the wordsh1697 of his holinessh6944.

10

For the landh776 is fullh4390h8804 of adulterersh5003h8764; for becauseh6440 of swearingh423 the landh776 mournethh56h8804; the pleasant placesh4999 of the wildernessh4057 are dried uph3001h8804, and their courseh4794 is evilh7451, and their forceh1369 is not right. swearing: or, cursing
course: or, violence

11

For both propheth5030 and priesth3548 are profaneh2610h8804; yea, in my househ1004 have I foundh4672h8804 their wickednessh7451, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

12

Wherefore their wayh1870 shall be unto them as slipperyh2519 ways in the darknessh653: they shall be driven onh1760h8735, and fallh5307h8804 therein: for I will bringh935h8686 evilh7451 upon them, even the yearh8141 of their visitationh6486, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

13

And I have seenh7200h8804 follyh8604 in the prophetsh5030 of Samariah8111; they prophesiedh5012h8694 in Baalh1168, and caused my peopleh5971 Israelh3478 to errh8582h8686. folly: or, an absurd thing: Heb. unsavoury

14

I have seenh7200h8804 also in the prophetsh5030 of Jerusalemh3389 an horrible thingh8186: they commit adulteryh5003h8800, and walkh1980h8800 in liesh8267: they strengthenh2388h8765 also the handsh3027 of evildoersh7489h8688, that noneh376 doth returnh7725h8804 from his wickednessh7451: they are all of them unto me as Sodomh5467, and the inhabitantsh3427h8802 thereof as Gomorrahh6017. an...: or, filthiness

15

Therefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 concerning the prophetsh5030; Behold, I will feedh398h8688 them with wormwoodh3939, and make them drinkh8248h8689 the waterh4325 of gallh7219: for from the prophetsh5030 of Jerusalemh3389 is profanenessh2613 gone forthh3318h8804 into all the landh776. profaneness: or, hypocrisy

16

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, Hearkenh8085h8799 not unto the wordsh1697 of the prophetsh5030 that prophesyh5012h8737 unto you: they make you vainh1891h8688: they speakh1696h8762 a visionh2377 of their own hearth3820, and not out of the mouthh6310 of the LORDh3068.

17

They sayh559h8802 stillh559h8800 unto them that despiseh5006h8764 me, The LORDh3068 hath saidh1696h8765, Ye shall have peaceh7965; and they sayh559h8804 unto every one that walkethh1980h8802 after the imaginationh8307 of his own hearth3820, No evilh7451 shall comeh935h8799 upon you. imagination: or, stubbornness

18

For who hath stoodh5975h8804 in the counselh5475 of the LORDh3068, and hath perceivedh7200h8799 and heardh8085h8799 his wordh1697? who hath markedh7181h8689 his wordh1697, and heardh8085h8799 it ? counsel: or, secret

19

Behold, a whirlwindh5591 of the LORDh3068 is gone forthh3318h8804 in furyh2534, even a grievoush2342h8711 whirlwindh5591: it shall fall grievouslyh2342h8799 upon the headh7218 of the wickedh7563.

20

The angerh639 of the LORDh3068 shall not returnh7725h8799, until he have executedh6213h8800, and till he have performedh6965h8687 the thoughtsh4209 of his hearth3820: in the latterh319 daysh3117 ye shall considerh995h8709 it perfectlyh998.

21

I have not senth7971h8804 these prophetsh5030, yet they ranh7323h8804: I have not spokenh1696h8765 to them, yet they prophesiedh5012h8738.

22

But if they had stoodh5975h8804 in my counselh5475, and had caused my peopleh5971 to hearh8085h8686 my wordsh1697, then they should have turnedh7725h8686 them from their evilh7451 wayh1870, and from the evilh7455 of their doingsh4611.

23

Am I a Godh430 at handh7138, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, and not a Godh430 afar offh7350?

24

Can anyh376 hideh5641h8735 himself in secret placesh4565 that I shall not seeh7200h8799 him? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068. Do not I fillh4392 heavenh8064 and earthh776? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

25

I have heardh8085h8804 what the prophetsh5030 saidh559h8804, that prophesyh5012h8737 liesh8267 in my nameh8034, sayingh559h8800, I have dreamedh2492h8804, I have dreamedh2492h8804.

26

How long shall this beh3426 in the hearth3820 of the prophetsh5030 that prophesyh5012h8737 liesh8267? yea, they are prophetsh5030 of the deceith8649 of their own hearth3820;

27

Which thinkh2803h8802 to cause my peopleh5971 to forgeth7911h8687 my nameh8034 by their dreamsh2472 which they tellh5608h8762 every manh376 to his neighbourh7453, as their fathersh1 have forgottenh7911h8804 my nameh8034 for Baalh1168.

28

The propheth5030 that hath a dreamh2472, let him tellh5608h8762 a dreamh2472; and he that hath my wordh1697, let him speakh1696h8762 my wordh1697 faithfullyh571. What is the chaffh8401 to the wheath1250? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068. that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc

29

Is not my wordh1697 likeh3541 as a fireh784? saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068; and like a hammerh6360 that breakethh6327 the rockh5553 in piecesh6327h8787?

30

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophetsh5030, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, that stealh1589h8764 my wordsh1697 every oneh376 from his neighbourh7453.

31

Behold, I am against the prophetsh5030, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, that useh3947h8802 their tonguesh3956, and sayh5001h8799, He saithh5002h8803. that...: or, that smooth their tongues

32

Behold, I am against them that prophesyh5012h8737 falseh8267 dreamsh2472, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, and do tellh5608h8762 them, and cause my peopleh5971 to errh8582h8686 by their liesh8267, and by their lightnessh6350; yet I senth7971h8804 them not, nor commandedh6680h8765 them: therefore they shall not profith3276h8686 this peopleh5971 at allh3276h8687, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

33

And when this peopleh5971, or the propheth5030, or a priesth3548, shall askh7592h8799 thee, sayingh559h8800, What is the burdenh4853 of the LORDh3068? thou shalt then sayh559h8804 unto them, What burdenh4853? I will even forsakeh5203h8804 you, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

34

And as for the propheth5030, and the priesth3548, and the peopleh5971, that shall sayh559h8799, The burdenh4853 of the LORDh3068, I will even punishh6485h8804 that manh376 and his househ1004. punish: Heb. visit upon

35

Thus shall ye sayh559h8799 every oneh376 to his neighbourh7453, and every oneh376 to his brotherh251, What hath the LORDh3068 answeredh6030h8804? and, What hath the LORDh3068 spokenh1696h8765?

36

And the burdenh4853 of the LORDh3068 shall ye mentionh2142h8799 no more: for every man'sh376 wordh1697 shall be his burdenh4853; for ye have pervertedh2015h8804 the wordsh1697 of the livingh2416 Godh430, of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 our Godh430.

37

Thus shalt thou sayh559h8799 to the propheth5030, What hath the LORDh3068 answeredh6030h8804 thee? and, What hath the LORDh3068 spokenh1696h8765?

38

Buth518 since ye sayh559h8799, The burdenh4853 of the LORDh3068; therefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068; Because ye sayh559h8800 this wordh1697, The burdenh4853 of the LORDh3068, and I have senth7971h8799 unto you, sayingh559h8800, Ye shall not sayh559h8799, The burdenh4853 of the LORDh3068;

39

Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterlyh5377h8800 forgeth5382h8804 you, and I will forsakeh5203h8804 you, and the cityh5892 that I gaveh5414h8804 you and your fathersh1, and cast you out of my presenceh6440:

40

And I will bringh5414h8804 an everlastingh5769 reproachh2781 upon you, and a perpetualh5769 shameh3640, which shall not be forgottenh7911h8735.
