| [1]WoeH1945 be unto the pastorsH7462[H8802] that destroyH6[H8764] and scatterH6327[H8688] the sheepH6629 of my pastureH4830! saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[1]Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord. |
| [2]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 against the pastorsH7462[H8802] that feedH7462[H8802] my peopleH5971; Ye have scatteredH6327[H8689] my flockH6629, and driven them awayH5080[H8686], and have not visitedH6485[H8804] them: behold, I will visitH6485[H8802] upon you the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[2]Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto the pastors that feed my people, Ye have scattered my flock and thrust them out, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit you for the wickedness of your works, saith the Lord. |
| [3]And I will gatherH6908[H8762] the remnantH7611 of my flockH6629 out of all countriesH776 whither I have drivenH5080[H8689] them, and will bring them againH7725[H8689] to their foldsH5116; and they shall be fruitfulH6509[H8804] and increaseH7235.[H8804] |
[3]And I will gather the remnant of my sheep out of all countries, whither I had driven them, and will bring them again to their folds, and they shall grow and increase. |
| [4]And I will set upH6965[H8689] shepherdsH7462[H8802] over them which shall feedH7462[H8804] them: and they shall fearH3372[H8799] no more, nor be dismayedH2865[H8735], neither shall they be lackingH6485[H8735], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[4]And I will set up shepherds over them, which shall feed them: and they shall dread no more nor be afraid, neither shall any of them be lacking, saith the Lord. |
| [5]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965[H8689] unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427[H8804] and prosperH7919[H8689], and shall executeH6213[H8804] judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776. |
[5]Behold, The days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign, and prosper, and shall execute judgment, and justice in the earth. |
| [6]In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467[H8735], and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931[H8799] safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121[H8799], THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. |
[6]In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name whereby they shall call him, The Lord our righteousness. |
| [7]Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that they shall no more sayH559[H8799], The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927[H8689] the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; |
[7]Therefore behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, |
| [8]But, The LORDH3068 livethH2416, which brought upH5927[H8689] and which ledH935[H8689] the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 out of the northH6828 countryH776, and from all countriesH776 whither I had drivenH5080[H8689] them; and they shall dwellH3427[H8804] in their own landH127. |
[8]But the Lord liveth, which brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country and from all countries where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their own land. |
| [9]Mine heartH3820 withinH7130 me is brokenH7665[H8738] because of the prophetsH5030; all my bonesH6106 shakeH7363[H8804]; I am like a drunkenH7910 manH376, and like a manH1397 whom wineH3196 hath overcomeH5674[H8804], becauseH6440 of the LORDH3068, and because of the wordsH1697 of his holinessH6944. |
[9]Mine heart breaketh within me, because of the prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whom wine hath overcome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holy words. |
| [10]For the landH776 is fullH4390[H8804] of adulterersH5003[H8764]; for becauseH6440 of swearingH423 the landH776 mournethH56[H8804]; the pleasant placesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 are dried upH3001[H8804], and their courseH4794 is evilH7451, and their force is not rightH1369. |
[10]For the land is full of adulterers, and because of oaths the land mourneth, the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. |
| [11]For both prophetH5030 and priestH3548 are profaneH2610[H8804]; yea, in my houseH1004 have I foundH4672[H8804] their wickednessH7451, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[11]For both the prophet and the priest do wickedly: and their wickedness have I found in mine house, saith the Lord. |
| [12]Wherefore their wayH1870 shall be unto them as slipperyH2519 ways in the darknessH653: they shall be driven onH1760[H8735], and fallH5307[H8804] therein: for I will bringH935[H8686] evilH7451 upon them, even the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[12]Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven forth and fall therein: for I will bring a plague upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. |
| [13]And I have seenH7200[H8804] follyH8604 in the prophetsH5030 of SamariaH8111; they prophesiedH5012[H8694] in BaalH1168, and caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to errH8582.[H8686] |
[13]And I have seen foolishness in the prophets of Samaria, that prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. |
| [14]I have seenH7200[H8804] also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003[H8800], and walkH1980[H8800] in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388[H8765] also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489[H8688], that noneH376 doth returnH7725[H8804] from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] thereof as GomorrahH6017. |
[14]I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem filthiness: they commit adultery and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of the wicked that none can return from his wickedness: they are all unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. |
| [15]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398[H8688] them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248[H8689] the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318[H8804] into all the landH776. |
[15]Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets, Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is wickedness gone forth into all the land. |
| [16]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, HearkenH8085[H8799] not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012[H8737] unto you: they make you vainH1891[H8688]: they speakH1696[H8762] a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not out of the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. |
[16]Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hear not the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you, and teach you vanity: they speak the vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. |
| [17]They sayH559[H8802] stillH559[H8800] unto them that despiseH5006[H8764] me, The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696[H8765], Ye shall have peaceH7965; and they sayH559[H8804] unto every one that walkethH1980[H8802] after the imaginationH8307 of his own heartH3820, No evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon youH8799. |
[17]They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace: and they say unto every one that walketh after the stubbornness of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. |
| [18]For who hath stoodH5975[H8804] in the counselH5475 of the LORDH3068, and hath perceivedH7200[H8799] and heardH8085[H8799] his wordH1697? who hath markedH7181[H8689] his wordH1697, and heardH8085 itH8799? |
[18]For who hath stand in the counsel of the Lord that he hath perceived and heard his word? Who hath marked his word and heard it? |
| [19]Behold, a whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 is gone forthH3318[H8804] in furyH2534, even a grievousH2342[H8711] whirlwindH5591: it shall fall grievouslyH2342[H8799] upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563. |
[19]Behold, the tempest of the Lord goeth forth in his wrath, and a violent whirlwind shall fall down upon the head of the wicked. |
| [20]The angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725[H8799], until he have executedH6213[H8800], and till he have performedH6965[H8687] the thoughtsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995[H8709] it perfectlyH998. |
[20]The anger of the Lord shall not return until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it plainly. |
| [21]I have not sentH7971[H8804] these prophetsH5030, yet they ranH7323[H8804]: I have not spokenH1696[H8765] to them, yet they prophesiedH5012.[H8738] |
[21]I have not sent these prophets, saith the Lord, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, and yet they prophesied. |
| [22]But if they had stoodH5975[H8804] in my counselH5475, and had caused my peopleH5971 to hearH8085[H8686] my wordsH1697, then they should have turnedH7725[H8686] them from their evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611. |
[22]But if they had stand in my counsel, and had declared my words to my people, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the wickedness of their inventions. |
| [23]Am I a GodH430 at handH7138, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and not a GodH430 afar offH7350? |
[23]Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God far off? |
| [24]Can anyH376 hideH5641[H8735] himself in secret placesH4565 that I shall not seeH7200[H8799] him? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. Do not I fillH4392 heavenH8064 and earthH776? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[24]Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? Do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
| [25]I have heardH8085[H8804] what the prophetsH5030 saidH559[H8804], that prophesyH5012[H8737] liesH8267 in my nameH8034, sayingH559[H8800], I have dreamedH2492[H8804], I have dreamedH2492.[H8804] |
[25]I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesied lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. |
| [26]How long shall this beH3426 in the heartH3820 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012[H8737] liesH8267? yea, they are prophetsH5030 of the deceitH8649 of their own heartH3820; |
[26]How long? Do the prophets delight to prophesy lies, even prophesying the deceit of their own heart? |
| [27]Which thinkH2803[H8802] to cause my peopleH5971 to forgetH7911[H8687] my nameH8034 by their dreamsH2472 which they tellH5608[H8762] every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, as their fathersH1 have forgottenH7911[H8804] my nameH8034 for BaalH1168. |
[27]Think they to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their forefathers have forgotten my name for Baal? |
| [28]The prophetH5030 that hath a dreamH2472, let him tellH5608[H8762] a dreamH2472; and he that hath my wordH1697, let him speakH1696[H8762] my wordH1697 faithfullyH571. What is the chaffH8401 to the wheatH1250? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[28]The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream, and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully: what is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord? |
| [29]Is not my wordH1697 likeH3541 as a fireH784? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and like a hammerH6360 that breakethH6327 the rockH5553 in piecesH6327?[H8787] |
[29]Is not my word even like a fire, saith the Lord? And like an hammer, that breaketh the stone? |
| [30]Therefore, behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that stealH1589[H8764] my wordsH1697 every oneH376 from his neighbourH7453. |
[30]Therefore behold, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my word every one from his neighbor. |
| [31]Behold, I am against the prophetsH5030, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that useH3947[H8802] their tonguesH3956, and sayH5001[H8799], He saithH5002.[H8803] |
[31]Behold, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, which have sweet tongues, and say, He saith. |
| [32]Behold, I am against them that prophesyH5012[H8737] falseH8267 dreamsH2472, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and do tellH5608[H8762] them, and cause my peopleH5971 to errH8582[H8686] by their liesH8267, and by their lightnessH6350; yet I sentH7971[H8804] them not, nor commandedH6680[H8765] them: therefore they shall not profitH3276[H8686] this peopleH5971 at allH3276[H8687], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[32]Behold, I will come against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their flatteries, and I send them not, nor commanded them: therefore they bring no profit unto this people, saith the Lord. |
| [33]And when this peopleH5971, or the prophetH5030, or a priestH3548, shall askH7592[H8799] thee, sayingH559[H8800], What is the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068? thou shalt then sayH559[H8804] unto them, What burdenH4853? I will even forsakeH5203[H8804] you, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[33]And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? Thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord. |
| [34]And as for the prophetH5030, and the priestH3548, and the peopleH5971, that shall sayH559[H8799], The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, I will even punishH6485[H8804] that manH376 and his houseH1004. |
[34]And the prophet, or the priest, or the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even visit every such one, and his house. |
| [35]Thus shall ye sayH559[H8799] every oneH376 to his neighbourH7453, and every oneH376 to his brotherH251, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8804]? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?[H8765] |
[35]Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? And what hath the Lord spoken? |
| [36]And the burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068 shall ye mentionH2142[H8799] no more: for every man'sH376 wordH1697 shall be his burdenH4853; for ye have pervertedH2015[H8804] the wordsH1697 of the livingH2416 GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 our GodH430. |
[36]And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden: for ye have perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts our God. |
| [37]Thus shalt thou sayH559[H8799] to the prophetH5030, What hath the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8804] thee? and, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?[H8765] |
[37]Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? And what hath the Lord spoken? |
| [38]ButH518 since ye sayH559[H8799], The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068; therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Because ye sayH559[H8800] this wordH1697, The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068, and I have sentH7971[H8799] unto you, sayingH559[H8800], Ye shall not sayH559[H8799], The burdenH4853 of the LORDH3068; |
[38]And if you say, The burden of the Lord, Then thus saith the Lord, Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord, |
| [39]Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterlyH5377[H8800] forgetH5382[H8804] you, and I will forsakeH5203[H8804] you, and the cityH5892 that I gaveH5414[H8804] you and your fathersH1, and cast you out of my presenceH6440: |
[39]Therefore behold, I, even I will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence, |
| [40]And I will bringH5414[H8804] an everlastingH5769 reproachH2781 upon you, and a perpetualH5769 shameH3640, which shall not be forgottenH7911.[H8735] |
[40]And will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame which shall never be forgotten. |
