| [1]They sayH559[H8800], If a manH376 put awayH7971[H8762] his wifeH802, and she goH1980[H8804] from him, and become anotherH312 man'sH376, shall he return unto her againH7725[H8799]? shall not that landH776 be greatlyH2610[H8800] pollutedH2610[H8799]? but thou hast played the harlotH2181[H8804] with manyH7227 loversH7453; yet return againH7725[H8800] to me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[1]They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return again unto her? Shall not this land be polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers: yet turn again to me, saith the Lord. |
| [2]Lift upH5375[H8798] thine eyesH5869 unto the high placesH8205, and seeH7200[H8798] whereH375 thou hast not been lienH7693[H8795][H8676][H7901][H8795] with. In the waysH1870 hast thou satH3427[H8804] for them, as the ArabianH6163 in the wildernessH4057; and thou hast pollutedH2610[H8686] the landH776 with thy whoredomsH2184 and with thy wickednessH7451. |
[2]Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and behold, where thou hast not played the harlot: thou hast sit waiting for them in the ways, as the Arabian in the wilderness: and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms, and with thy malice. |
| [3]Therefore the showersH7241 have been withholdenH4513[H8735], and there hath been no latter rainH4456; and thou hadst a whore'sH2181[H8802][H802] foreheadH4696, thou refusedstH3985[H8765] to be ashamedH3637.[H8736] |
[3]Therefore the showers have been restrained, and the latter rain came not, and thou hadst a whore's forehead: thou wouldest not be ashamed. |
| [4]Wilt thou not from this time cryH7121[H8804] unto me, My fatherH1, thou art the guideH441 of my youthH5271? |
[4]Didst thou not still cry unto me, Thou art my father , and the guide of my youth? |
| [5]Will he reserveH5201[H8799] his anger for everH5769? will he keepH8104[H8799] it to the endH5331? Behold, thou hast spokenH1696[H8765] and doneH6213[H8799] evil thingsH7451 as thou couldestH3201.[H8799] |
[5]Will he keep his anger forever? Will he reserve it to the end? thus hast thou spoken, but thou doest evil, even more and more. |
| [6]The LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] also unto me in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the kingH4428, Hast thou seenH7200[H8804] that which backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath doneH6213[H8804]? she is gone upH1980[H8802] upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and underH8478 every greenH7488 treeH6086, and there hath played the harlotH2181.[H8799] |
[6]The Lord said also unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what this rebel Israel hath done? For she hath gone up upon every high mountain, and under every green tree, and there played the harlot. |
| [7]And I saidH559[H8799] afterH310 she had doneH6213[H8800] all these things, TurnH7725[H8799] thou unto me. But she returnedH7725[H8804] not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 itH8799. |
[7]And I said, when she had done all this, Turn thou unto me: but she returned not, as her rebellious sister Judah saw. |
| [8]And I sawH7200[H8799], when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003[H8765] I had put her awayH7971[H8765], and givenH5414[H8799] her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898[H8802] sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372[H8804] not, but wentH3212[H8799] and played the harlotH2181 alsoH8799. |
[8]When I saw, how that by all occasions rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I cast her away, and gave her a bill of divorcement: yet her rebellious sister Judah was not afraid, but she went also, and played the harlot. |
| [9]And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610[H8799] the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003[H8799] with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. |
[9]So that for the lightness of her whoredom she hath even defiled the land: for she hath committed fornication with stones and stocks. |
| [10]And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725[H8804] unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[10]Nevertheless for all this, her rebellious sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord. |
| [11]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto me, The backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 hath justifiedH6663[H8765] herselfH5315 more than treacherousH898[H8802] JudahH3063. |
[11]And the Lord said unto me, The rebellious Israel hath justified herself more than the rebellious Judah. |
| [12]GoH1980[H8800] and proclaimH7121[H8804] these wordsH1697 toward the northH6828, and sayH559[H8804], ReturnH7725[H8798], thou backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and I will not cause mine angerH6440 to fallH5307[H8686] upon you: for I am mercifulH2623, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and I will not keepH5201[H8799] anger for everH5769. |
[12]Go and cry these words toward the north and say, Thou disobedient Israel, return, saith the Lord, and I will not let my wrath fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not always keep mine anger. |
| [13]Only acknowledgeH3045[H8798] thine iniquityH5771, that thou hast transgressedH6586[H8804] against the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and hast scatteredH6340[H8762] thy waysH1870 to the strangersH2114[H8801] under every greenH7488 treeH6086, and ye have not obeyedH8085[H8804] my voiceH6963, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[13]But know thine iniquity: for thou hast rebelled against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strange gods under every green tree, but ye would not obey my voice, saith the Lord. |
| [14]TurnH7725[H8798], O backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; for I am marriedH1166[H8804] unto you: and I will takeH3947[H8804] you oneH259 of a cityH5892, and twoH8147 of a familyH4940, and I will bringH935[H8689] you to ZionH6726: |
[14]O ye disobedient children, turn again, saith the Lord, for I am your Lord, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a tribe and will bring you to Zion, |
| [15]And I will giveH5414[H8804] you pastorsH7462[H8802] according to mine heartH3820, which shall feedH7462[H8804] you with knowledgeH1844 and understandingH7919.[H8687] |
[15]And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. |
| [16]And it shall come to pass, when ye be multipliedH7235[H8799] and increasedH6509[H8804] in the landH776, in those daysH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, they shall sayH559[H8799] no more, The arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068: neither shall it comeH5927[H8799] to mindH3820: neither shall they rememberH2142[H8799] it; neither shall they visitH6485[H8799] it; neither shall that be doneH6213 any moreH8735. |
[16]Moreover, when ye be increased and multiplied in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: for it shall come no more to mind, neither shall they remember it, neither shall they visit it, for that shall be no more done. |
| [17]At that timeH6256 they shall callH7121[H8799] JerusalemH3389 the throneH3678 of the LORDH3068; and all the nationsH1471 shall be gatheredH6960[H8738] unto it, to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to JerusalemH3389: neither shall they walkH3212[H8799] any more afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820. |
[17]At that time they shall call Jerusalem, The throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered unto it , even to the name of the Lord in Jerusalem: and thence forth they shall follow no more the hardness of their wicked heart. |
| [18]In those daysH3117 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall walkH3212[H8799] with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and they shall comeH935[H8799] togetherH3162 out of the landH776 of the northH6828 to the landH776 that I have given for an inheritanceH5157[H8689] unto your fathersH1. |
[18]In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north, into the land, that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. |
| [19]But I saidH559[H8804], How shall I putH7896[H8799] thee among the childrenH1121, and giveH5414[H8799] thee a pleasantH2532 landH776, a goodlyH6643 heritageH5159 of the hostsH6635 of nationsH1471? and I saidH559[H8799], Thou shalt callH7121[H8799] me, My fatherH1; and shalt not turn awayH7725[H8799] from meH310. |
[19]But I said, How did I take thee for children and give thee a pleasant land, even the glorious heritage of the armies of the heathen, and said, Thou shalt call me, saying, My father, and shalt not turn from me? |
| [20]SurelyH403 as a wifeH802 treacherouslyH898[H8804] departeth from her husbandH7453, so have ye dealt treacherouslyH898[H8804] with me, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[20]But as a woman rebelleth against her husband: so have ye rebelled against me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. |
| [21]A voiceH6963 was heardH8085[H8738] upon the high placesH8205, weepingH1065 and supplicationsH8469 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for they have pervertedH5753[H8689] their wayH1870, and they have forgottenH7911[H8804] the LORDH3068 their GodH430. |
[21]A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and forgotten the Lord their God. |
| [22]ReturnH7725[H8798], ye backslidingH7726 childrenH1121, and I will healH7495[H8799] your backslidingsH4878. Behold, we comeH857[H8804] unto thee; for thou art the LORDH3068 our GodH430. |
[22]O ye disobedient children, return and I will heal your rebellions. Behold, we come unto thee, for thou art the Lord our God. |
| [23]TrulyH403 in vainH8267 is salvation hoped for from the hillsH1389, and from the multitudeH1995 of mountainsH2022: trulyH403 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is the salvationH8668 of IsraelH3478. |
[23]Truly the hope of the hills is but vain, nor the multitude of mountains: but in the Lord our God is the health of Israel. |
| [24]For shameH1322 hath devouredH398[H8804] the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323. |
[24]For confusion hath devoured our father's labor, from our youth their sheep and their bullocks, their sons and their daughters. |
| [25]We lie downH7901[H8799] in our shameH1322, and our confusionH3639 coverethH3680[H8762] us: for we have sinnedH2398[H8804] against the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we and our fathersH1, from our youthH5271 even unto this dayH3117, and have not obeyedH8085[H8804] the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430. |
[25]We lie down in our confusion, and our shame covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers from our youth, even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God. |
