[1]Run ye to and froH7751[H8786] through the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, and seeH7200[H8798] now, and knowH3045[H8798], and seekH1245[H8761] in the broad placesH7339 thereof, if ye can findH4672[H8799] a manH376, if there beH3426 any that executethH6213[H8802] judgmentH4941, that seekethH1245[H8764] the truthH530; and I will pardonH5545 itH8799. |

[2]And though they sayH559[H8799], The LORDH3068 livethH2416; surely they swearH7650[H8735] falselyH8267. |

[3]O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221[H8689] them, but they have not grievedH2342[H8804]; thou hast consumedH3615[H8765] them, but they have refusedH3985[H8765] to receiveH3947[H8800] correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388[H8765] than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985[H8765] to returnH7725.[H8800] |

[4]Therefore I saidH559[H8804], Surely these are poorH1800; they are foolishH2973[H8738]: for they knowH3045[H8804] not the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, nor the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430. |

[5]I will getH3212[H8799] me unto the great menH1419, and will speakH1696[H8762] unto them; for they have knownH3045[H8804] the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, and the judgmentH4941 of their GodH430: but these have altogetherH3162 brokenH7665[H8804] the yokeH5923, and burstH5423[H8765] the bondsH4147. |

[6]Wherefore a lionH738 out of the forestH3293 shall slayH5221[H8689] them, and a wolfH2061 of the eveningsH6160 shall spoilH7703[H8799] them, a leopardH5246 shall watchH8245[H8802] over their citiesH5892: every one that goeth outH3318[H8802] thence shallH2007 be torn in piecesH2963[H8735]: because their transgressionsH6588 are manyH7231[H8804], and their backslidingsH4878 are increasedH6105.[H8804] |

[7]HowH335 shall I pardonH5545[H8799] thee for thisH2063? thy childrenH1121 have forsakenH5800[H8804] me, and swornH7650[H8735] by them that are noH3808 godsH430: when I had fed them to the fullH7650[H8686], they then committed adulteryH5003[H8799], and assembled themselves by troopsH1413[H8704] in the harlotsH2181'H8802 housesH1004. |

[10]Go ye upH5927[H8798] upon her wallsH8284, and destroyH7843[H8761]; but makeH6213[H8799] not a full endH3617: take awayH5493[H8685] her battlementsH5189; for they are not the LORD'SH3068. |
