[1]The righteousH6662 perishethH6[H8804], and no manH376 layethH7760[H8802] it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622[H8737], none consideringH995[H8688] that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622[H8738] fromH6440 the evil to comeH7451.
[2]He shall enterH935[H8799] into peaceH7965: they shall restH5117[H8799] in their bedsH4904, each one walkingH1980[H8802] in his uprightnessH5228.
[3]But draw nearH7126[H8798] hither, ye sonsH1121 of the sorceressH6049[H8781], the seedH2233 of the adultererH5003[H8764] and the whoreH2181.[H8799]
[4]Against whom do ye sportH6026[H8691] yourselves? against whom make ye a wideH7337[H8686] mouthH6310, and draw outH748[H8686] the tongueH3956? are ye not childrenH3206 of transgressionH6588, a seedH2233 of falsehoodH8267,
[5]EnflamingH2552[H8737] yourselves with idolsH410 under every greenH7488 treeH6086, slayingH7819[H8802] the childrenH3206 in the valleysH5158 under the cliftsH5585 of the rocksH5553?
[6]Among the smoothH2511 stones of the streamH5158 is thy portionH2506; they, they are thy lotH1486: even to them hast thou pouredH8210[H8804] a drink offeringH5262, thou hast offeredH5927[H8689] a meat offeringH4503. Should I receive comfortH5162 in theseH8735?
[7]Upon a loftyH1364 and highH5375[H8737] mountainH2022 hast thou setH7760[H8804] thy bedH4904: even thither wentest thou upH5927[H8804] to offerH2076[H8800] sacrificeH2077.
[8]BehindH310 the doorsH1817 also and the postsH4201 hast thou set upH7760[H8804] thy remembranceH2146: for thou hast discoveredH1540[H8765] thyself to another than me, and art gone upH5927[H8799]; thou hast enlargedH7337[H8689] thy bedH4904, and madeH3772[H8799] thee a covenant with them; thou lovedstH157[H8804] their bedH4904 whereH3027 thou sawestH2372 itH8804.
[9]And thou wentestH7788[H8799] to the kingH4428 with ointmentH8081, and didst increaseH7235[H8686] thy perfumesH7547, and didst sendH7971[H8762] thy messengersH6735 far offH7350, and didst debaseH8213[H8686] thyself even unto hellH7585.
[10]Thou art weariedH3021[H8804] in the greatnessH7230 of thy wayH1870; yet saidstH559[H8804] thou not, There is no hopeH2976[H8737]: thou hast foundH4672[H8804] the lifeH2416 of thine handH3027; therefore thou wast not grievedH2470.[H8804]
[11]And of whom hast thou been afraidH1672[H8804] or fearedH3372[H8799], that thou hast liedH3576[H8762], and hast not rememberedH2142[H8804] me, nor laidH7760[H8804] it to thy heartH3820? have not I held my peaceH2814[H8688] even of oldH5769, and thou fearestH3372 me notH8799?
[12]I will declareH5046[H8686] thy righteousnessH6666, and thy worksH4639; for they shall not profitH3276 theeH8686.
[13]When thou criestH2199[H8800], let thy companiesH6899 deliverH5337[H8686] thee; but the windH7307 shall carry them all awayH5375[H8799]; vanityH1892 shall takeH3947[H8799] them: but he that putteth his trustH2620[H8802] in me shall possessH5157[H8799] the landH776, and shall inheritH3423[H8799] my holyH6944 mountainH2022;
[14]And shall sayH559[H8804], Cast ye upH5549[H8798], cast ye upH5549[H8798], prepareH6437[H8761] the wayH1870, take upH7311[H8685] the stumblingblockH4383 out of the wayH1870 of my peopleH5971.
[15]For thus saithH559[H8804] the highH7311[H8802] and lofty OneH5375[H8737] that inhabitethH7931[H8802] eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931[H8799] in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421[H8687] the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421[H8687] the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.[H8737]
[16]For I will not contendH7378[H8799] for everH5769, neither will I be alwaysH5331 wrothH7107[H8799]: for the spiritH7307 should failH5848[H8799] beforeH6440 me, and the soulsH5397 which I have madeH6213.[H8804]
[17]For the iniquityH5771 of his covetousnessH1215 was I wrothH7107[H8804], and smoteH5221[H8686] him: I hidH5641[H8687] me, and was wrothH7107[H8799], and he went onH3212[H8799] frowardlyH7726 in the wayH1870 of his heartH3820.
[18]I have seenH7200[H8804] his waysH1870, and will healH7495[H8799] him: I will leadH5148[H8686] him also, and restoreH7999[H8762] comfortsH5150 unto him and to his mournersH57.
[19]I createH1254[H8802] the fruitH5108 of the lipsH8193; PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him that is far offH7350, and to him that is nearH7138, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; and I will healH7495 himH8804.
[20]But the wickedH7563 are like the troubledH1644[H8737] seaH3220, when it cannotH3201[H8799] restH8252[H8687], whose watersH4325 cast upH1644[H8799] mireH7516 and dirtH2916.
[21]There is no peaceH7965, saithH559[H8804] my GodH430, to the wickedH7563.
