| [1]SayH559[H8798] ye unto your brethrenH251, AmmiH5971; and to your sistersH269, RuhamahH7355.[H8795] |
[1]SAY to your brethren, Ammi, my people; and to your sisters, Rekhimtha, beloved. |
| [2]PleadH7378[H8798] with your motherH517, pleadH7378[H8798]: for she is not my wifeH802, neither am I her husbandH376: let her therefore put awayH5493[H8686] her whoredomsH2183 out of her sightH6440, and her adulteriesH5005 from between her breastsH7699; |
[2]Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight and her adulteries from between her breasts, |
| [3]Lest I stripH6584[H8686] her nakedH6174, and setH3322[H8689] her as in the dayH3117 that she was bornH3205[H8736], and makeH7760[H8804] her as a wildernessH4057, and setH7896[H8804] her like a dryH6723 landH776, and slayH4191[H8689] her with thirstH6772. |
[3]Lest I strip her naked and leave her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness and as a dry land, and cause her to die with thirst. |
| [4]And I will not have mercyH7355[H8762] upon her childrenH1121; for they be the childrenH1121 of whoredomsH2183. |
[4]And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms. |
| [5]For their motherH517 hath played the harlotH2181[H8804]: she that conceivedH2029[H8802] them hath done shamefullyH3001[H8689]: for she saidH559[H8804], I will goH3212[H8799] afterH310 my loversH157[H8764], that giveH5414[H8802] me my breadH3899 and my waterH4325, my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593, mine oilH8081 and my drinkH8250. |
[5]For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers who give me my bread and my water, my clothes and my linen, my oil and everything that I need |
| [6]Therefore, behold, I will hedgeH7753[H8801] up thy wayH1870 with thornsH5518, and makeH1443[H8804] a wallH1447, that she shall not findH4672[H8799] her pathsH5410. |
[6]Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and fence her paths so that she shall not find her paths. |
| [7]And she shall followH7291[H8765] after her loversH157[H8764], but she shall not overtakeH5381[H8686] them; and she shall seekH1245[H8765] them, but shall not findH4672[H8799] them: then shall she sayH559[H8804], I will goH3212[H8799] and returnH7725[H8799] to my firstH7223 husbandH376; for then was it betterH2896 with me than nowH6258. |
[7]And she shall follow after her lovers and shall not overtake them, and she shall seek them, but shall not find them; then shall she say, I will return and go to my first husband; for it was better with me then than now. |
| [8]For she did not knowH3045[H8804] that I gaveH5414[H8804] her cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and multipliedH7235[H8689] her silverH3701 and goldH2091, which they preparedH6213[H8804] for BaalH1168. |
[8]For she did not know that it was I who gave her wheat and wine and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, some of which they made for the images of Baal. |
| [9]Therefore will I returnH7725[H8799], and take awayH3947[H8804] my cornH1715 in the timeH6256 thereof, and my wineH8492 in the seasonH4150 thereof, and will recoverH5337[H8689] my woolH6785 and my flaxH6593 given to coverH3680[H8763] her nakednessH6172. |
[9]Therefore I will return and take away my wheat in its time and my wine in its season, and will take away my wool and my linen which I gave her to cover her nakedness. |
| [10]And now will I discoverH1540[H8762] her lewdnessH5040 in the sightH5869 of her loversH157[H8764], and noneH376 shall deliverH5337[H8686] her out of mine handH3027. |
[10]And now I will uncover her nakedness in the presence of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hands. |
| [11]I will also cause all her mirthH4885 to ceaseH7673[H8689], her feast daysH2282, her new moonsH2320, and her sabbathsH7676, and all her solemn feastsH4150. |
[11]And I will cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. |
| [12]And I will destroyH8074[H8689] her vinesH1612 and her fig treesH8384, whereof she hath saidH559[H8804], These are my rewardsH866 that my loversH157[H8764] have givenH5414[H8804] me: and I will makeH7760[H8804] them a forestH3293, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398 themH8804. |
[12]And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, These are presents which my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. |
| [13]And I will visitH6485[H8804] upon her the daysH3117 of BaalimH1168, wherein she burned incenseH6999[H8686] to them, and she deckedH5710[H8799] herself with her earringsH5141 and her jewelsH2484, and she wentH3212[H8799] afterH310 her loversH157[H8764], and forgatH7911[H8804] me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[13]And I will punish her for the evils of the days of Baal, in which she burned incense to him and decked herself with her earrings and her pearls and went after her lovers and forgot me, says the LORD |
| [14]Therefore, behold, I will allureH6601[H8764] her, and bringH3212[H8689] her into the wildernessH4057, and speakH1696[H8765] comfortably unto herH3820. |
[14]Therefore, behold, I will comfort her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak lovingly to her. |
| [15]And I will giveH5414[H8804] her her vineyardsH3754 from thence, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 for a doorH6607 of hopeH8615: and she shall singH6030[H8804] there, as in the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, and as in the dayH3117 when she came upH5927[H8800] out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. |
[15]And I will give her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor that it may open her understanding; and she shall be humbled there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. |
| [16]And it shall be at that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that thou shalt callH7121[H8799] me IshiH376; and shalt callH7121[H8799] me no more BaaliH1180. |
[16]And it shall be on that day, says the LORD, that you shall call me, my husband, and shall call me no more Baali. |
| [17]For I will take awayH5493[H8689] the namesH8034 of BaalimH1168 out of her mouthH6310, and they shall no more be rememberedH2142[H8735] by their nameH8034. |
[17]For I will take away the name of Baal out of her mouth, and they shall no more remember his name. |
| [18]And in that dayH3117 will I makeH3772[H8804] a covenantH1285 for them with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and with the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064, and with the creeping thingsH7431 of the groundH127: and I will breakH7665[H8799] the bowH7198 and the swordH2719 and the battleH4421 out of the earthH776, and will make them to lie downH7901[H8689] safelyH983. |
[18]And on that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of the air and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will do away with the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and I will make them to dwell in safety. |
| [19]And I will betrothH781[H8765] thee unto me for everH5769; yea, I will betrothH781[H8765] thee unto me in righteousnessH6664, and in judgmentH4941, and in lovingkindnessH2617, and in merciesH7356. |
[19]And I will betroth you to me for ever; yea, I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice and in lovingkindness and in mercy. |
| [20]I will even betrothH781[H8765] thee unto me in faithfulnessH530: and thou shalt knowH3045[H8804] the LORDH3068. |
[20]So I will betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD. |
| [21]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, I will hearH6030[H8799], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, I will hearH6030[H8799] the heavensH8064, and they shall hearH6030[H8799] the earthH776; |
[21]And it shall come to pass on that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth; |
| [22]And the earthH776 shall hearH6030[H8799] the cornH1715, and the wineH8492, and the oilH3323; and they shall hearH6030[H8799] JezreelH3157. |
[22]And the earth shall answer the grain and the wine and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel. |
| [23]And I will sowH2232[H8804] her unto me in the earthH776; and I will have mercyH7355[H8765] upon her that had not obtained mercyH7355[H8795][H8677][H3818]; and I will sayH559[H8804] to them which were not my peopleH5971, Thou art my peopleH5971; and they shall sayH559[H8799], Thou art my GodH430. |
[23]And I will sow her for myself in the earth; and I will have mercy on La-ethrakhmath, not beloved, and I will call La-ammi, not my people, Ammi, my people, and they shall say, Thou art my God |
