[1]HearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the landH776, because there is no truthH571, nor mercyH2617, nor knowledgeH1847 of GodH430 in the landH776.
[2]By swearingH422[H8800], and lyingH3584[H8763], and killingH7523[H8800], and stealingH1589[H8800], and committing adulteryH5003[H8800], they break outH6555[H8804], and bloodH1818 touchethH5060[H8804] bloodH1818.
[3]Therefore shall the landH776 mournH56[H8799], and every one that dwellethH3427[H8802] therein shall languishH535[H8797], with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and with the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064; yea, the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 also shall be taken awayH622.[H8735]
[4]Yet let no manH376 striveH7378[H8799], nor reproveH3198[H8686] anotherH376: for thy peopleH5971 are as they that striveH7378[H8688] with the priestH3548.
[5]Therefore shalt thou fallH3782[H8804] in the dayH3117, and the prophetH5030 also shall fallH3782[H8804] with thee in the nightH3915, and I will destroyH1820[H8804] thy motherH517.
[6]My peopleH5971 are destroyedH1820[H8738] for lack of knowledgeH1847: because thou hast rejectedH3988[H8804] knowledgeH1847, I will also rejectH3988[H8799] thee, that thou shalt be no priestH3547[H8763] to me: seeing thou hast forgottenH7911[H8799] the lawH8451 of thy GodH430, I will also forgetH7911[H8799] thy childrenH1121.
[7]As they were increasedH7230, so they sinnedH2398[H8804] against me: therefore will I changeH4171[H8686] their gloryH3519 into shameH7036.
[8]They eat upH398[H8799] the sinH2403 of my peopleH5971, and they setH5375[H8799] their heartH5315 on their iniquityH5771.
[9]And there shall be, like peopleH5971, like priestH3548: and I will punishH6485[H8804] them for their waysH1870, and rewardH7725[H8686] them their doingsH4611.
[10]For they shall eatH398[H8804], and not have enoughH7646[H8799]: they shall commit whoredomH2181[H8689], and shall not increaseH6555[H8799]: because they have left offH5800[H8804] to take heedH8104[H8800] to the LORDH3068.
[11]WhoredomH2184 and wineH3196 and new wineH8492 take awayH3947[H8799] the heartH3820.
[12]My peopleH5971 askH7592[H8799] counsel at their stocksH6086, and their staffH4731 declarethH5046[H8686] unto them: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 hath caused them to errH8582[H8689], and they have gone a whoringH2181[H8799] from under their GodH430.
[13]They sacrificeH2076[H8762] upon the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and burn incenseH6999[H8762] upon the hillsH1389, under oaksH437 and poplarsH3839 and elmsH424, because the shadowH6738 thereof is goodH2896: therefore your daughtersH1323 shall commit whoredomH2181[H8799], and your spousesH3618 shall commit adulteryH5003.[H8762]
[14]I will not punishH6485[H8799] your daughtersH1323 when they commit whoredomH2181[H8799], nor your spousesH3618 when they commit adulteryH5003[H8762]: for themselves are separatedH6504[H8762] with whoresH2181[H8802], and they sacrificeH2076[H8762] with harlotsH6948: therefore the peopleH5971 that doth not understandH995[H8799] shall fallH3832.[H8735]
[15]Though thou, IsraelH3478, play the harlotH2181[H8802], yet let not JudahH3063 offendH816[H8799]; and comeH935[H8799] not ye unto GilgalH1537, neither go ye upH5927[H8799] to BethavenH1007, nor swearH7650[H8735], The LORDH3068 livethH2416.
[16]For IsraelH3478 slideth backH5637[H8804] as a backslidingH5637[H8802] heiferH6510: now the LORDH3068 will feedH7462[H8799] them as a lambH3532 in a large placeH4800.
[17]EphraimH669 is joinedH2266[H8803] to idolsH6091: let him aloneH3240.[H8685]
[18]Their drinkH5435 is sourH5493[H8804]: they have committed whoredomH2181[H8689] continuallyH2181[H8687]: her rulersH4043 with shameH7036 do loveH157[H8804], GiveH3051 yeH8798.
[19]The windH7307 hath bound her upH6887[H8804] in her wingsH3671, and they shall be ashamedH954[H8799] because of their sacrificesH2077.
