[1]RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378[H8799] with thee: yet let me talkH1696[H8762] with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743[H8804]? wherefore are all they happyH7951[H8804] that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898?[H8802] |

[2]Thou hast plantedH5193[H8804] them, yea, they have taken rootH8327[H8776]: they growH3212[H8799], yea, they bring forthH6213[H8804] fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. |

[3]But thou, O LORDH3068, knowestH3045[H8804] me: thou hast seenH7200[H8799] me, and triedH974[H8804] mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423[H8685] like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942[H8685] them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028. |

[4]How long shall the landH776 mournH56[H8799], and the herbsH6212 of every fieldH7704 witherH3001[H8799], for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427[H8802] therein? the beastsH929 are consumedH5595[H8804], and the birdsH5775; because they saidH559[H8804], He shall not seeH7200[H8799] our last endH319. |

[5]If thou hast runH7323[H8804] with the footmenH7273, and they have weariedH3811[H8686] thee, then how canst thou contendH8474[H8807] with horsesH5483? and if in the landH776 of peaceH7965, wherein thou trustedstH982[H8802], they wearied thee, then how wilt thou doH6213[H8799] in the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383? |

[6]For even thy brethrenH251, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, even they have dealt treacherouslyH898[H8804] with thee; yea, they have calledH7121[H8804] a multitudeH4392 afterH310 thee: believeH539[H8686] them not, though they speakH1696[H8762] fair words unto theeH2896. |

[7]I have forsakenH5800[H8804] mine houseH1004, I have leftH5203[H8804] mine heritageH5159; I have givenH5414[H8804] the dearly belovedH3033 of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341.[H8802] |

[8]Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293; it crieth outH5414[H8804][H6963] against me: therefore have I hatedH8130 itH8804. |

[9]Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a speckledH6641 birdH5861, the birdsH5861 round aboutH5439 are against her; comeH3212[H8798] ye, assembleH622[H8798] all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, comeH857[H8685] to devourH402. |

[10]ManyH7227 pastorsH7462[H8802] have destroyedH7843[H8765] my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under footH947[H8790], they have madeH5414[H8804] my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. |
[No book] |
[11]They have madeH7760[H8804] it desolateH8076, and being desolateH8077 it mournethH56[H8804] unto me; the whole landH776 is made desolateH8074[H8738], because no manH376 layethH7760[H8802] it to heartH3820. |

[12]The spoilersH7703[H8802] are comeH935[H8804] upon all high placesH8205 through the wildernessH4057: for the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 shall devourH398[H8802] from the one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the other endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 shall have peaceH7965. |

[13]They have sownH2232[H8804] wheatH2406, but shall reapH7114[H8804] thornsH6975: they have put themselves to painH2470[H8738], but shall not profitH3276[H8686]: and they shall be ashamedH954[H8804] of your revenuesH8393 because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. |

[14]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 against all mine evilH7451 neighboursH7934, that touchH5060[H8802] the inheritanceH5159 which I have caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157[H8689]; Behold, I will pluck them outH5428[H8802] of their landH127, and pluck outH5428[H8799] the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from among themH8432. |
[No book] |
[15]And it shall come to pass, afterH310 that I have plucked them outH5428[H8800] I will returnH7725[H8799], and have compassionH7355[H8765] on them, and will bring them againH7725[H8689], every manH376 to his heritageH5159, and every manH376 to his landH776. |

[16]And it shall come to pass, if they will diligentlyH3925[H8800] learnH3925[H8799] the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650[H8736] by my nameH8034, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; as they taughtH3925[H8765] my peopleH5971 to swearH7650[H8736] by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129[H8738] in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971. |

[17]But if they will not obeyH8085[H8799], I will utterlyH5428[H8800] pluck upH5428[H8804] and destroyH6[H8763] that nationH1471, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
