| [1]HearH8085[H8798] ye this wordH1697 which I take upH5375[H8802] against you, even a lamentationH7015, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. |

| [2]The virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 is fallenH5307[H8804]; she shall no moreH3254[H8686] riseH6965[H8800]: she is forsakenH5203[H8738] upon her landH127; there is none to raise her upH6965.[H8688] |

| [3]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; The cityH5892 that went outH3318[H8802] by a thousandH505 shall leaveH7604[H8686] an hundredH3967, and that which went forthH3318[H8802] by an hundredH3967 shall leaveH7604[H8686] tenH6235, to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. |

| [4]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, SeekH1875[H8798] ye me, and ye shall liveH2421:[H8798] |

| [5]But seekH1875[H8799] not BethelH1008, nor enterH935[H8799] into GilgalH1537, and passH5674[H8799] not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540[H8800] go into captivityH1540[H8799], and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205. |
[No book] |
| [6]SeekH1875[H8798] the LORDH3068, and ye shall liveH2421[H8798]; lest he break outH6743[H8799] like fireH784 in the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, and devourH398[H8804] it, and there be none to quenchH3518[H8764] it in BethelH1008. |

| [7]Ye who turnH2015[H8802] judgmentH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and leave offH3240[H8689] righteousnessH6666 in the earthH776, |
[No book] |
| [8]Seek him that makethH6213[H8802] the seven starsH3598 and OrionH3685, and turnethH2015[H8802] the shadow of deathH6757 into the morningH1242, and maketh the dayH3117 darkH2821[H8689] with nightH3915: that callethH7121[H8802] for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210[H8799] upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034: |
[No book] |
| [9]That strengthenethH1082[H8688] the spoiledH7701 against the strongH5794, so that the spoiledH7701 shall comeH935[H8799] against the fortressH4013. |

| [10]They hateH8130[H8804] him that rebukethH3198[H8688] in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581[H8762] him that speakethH1696[H8802] uprightlyH8549. |
[No book] |
| [11]ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318[H8780] is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947[H8799] from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129[H8804] housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427[H8799] in them; ye have plantedH5193[H8804] pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354[H8799] wine of themH3196. |
[No book] |
| [12]For I knowH3045[H8804] your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887[H8802] the justH6662, they takeH3947[H8802] a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186[H8689] the poorH34 in the gate from their rightH8179. |
[No book] |
| [13]Therefore the prudentH7919[H8688] shall keep silenceH1826[H8799] in that timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256. |
[No book] |
| [14]SeekH1875[H8798] goodH2896, and not evilH7451, that ye may liveH2421[H8799]: and so the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, shall be with you, as ye have spokenH559.[H8804] |

| [16]Therefore the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the LordH136, saithH559[H8804] thus; WailingH4553 shall be in all streetsH7339; and they shall sayH559[H8799] in all the highwaysH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121[H8804] the husbandmanH406 to mourningH60, and such as are skilfulH3045[H8802] of lamentationH5092 to wailingH4553. |
[No book] |
| [17]And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553: for I will passH5674[H8799] throughH7130 thee, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068. |

| [18]WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183[H8693] the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216. |
[No book] |
| [19]As if a manH376 did fleeH5127[H8799] fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293[H8804] him; or wentH935[H8804] into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564[H8804] his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 himH8804. |

[No book] |
| [21]I hateH8130[H8804], I despiseH3988[H8804] your feast daysH2282, and I will not smellH7306[H8686] in your solemn assembliesH6116. |
[No book] |
| [22]Though ye offerH5927[H8686] me burnt offeringsH5930 and your meat offeringsH4503, I will not acceptH7521[H8799] them: neither will I regardH5027[H8686] the peace offeringsH8002 of your fat beastsH4806. |
[No book] |
| [23]Take thou awayH5493[H8685] from me the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892; for I will not hearH8085[H8799] the melodyH2172 of thy violsH5035. |
[No book] |
