| [1]At the same timeH6256, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, will I be the GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be my peopleH5971. |
[1]At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. |
| [2]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, The peopleH5971 which were leftH8300 of the swordH2719 foundH4672[H8804] graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057; even IsraelH3478, when I wentH1980[H8800] to cause him to restH7280.[H8687] |
[2]Thus saith the Lord, The people which escaped the sword, found grace in the wilderness: he walked before Israel to cause him to rest. |
| [3]The LORDH3068 hath appearedH7200[H8738] of oldH7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have lovedH157[H8804] thee with an everlastingH5769 loveH160: therefore with lovingkindnessH2617 have I drawnH4900 theeH8804. |
[3]The Lord hath appeared unto me of old, say they: Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with mercy I have drawn thee. |
| [4]Again I will buildH1129[H8799] thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129[H8738], O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710[H8799] with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318[H8804] in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832.[H8764] |
[4]Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be builded, O virgin Israel: thou shalt still be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt go forth in the dance of them that be joyful. |
| [5]Thou shalt yet plantH5193[H8799] vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193[H8802] shall plantH5193[H8804], and shall eat them as common thingsH2490.[H8765] |
[5]Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria, and the planters that plant them, shall make them common. |
| [6]For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341[H8802] upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121[H8804], AriseH6965[H8798] ye, and let us go upH5927[H8799] to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430. |
[6]For the days shall come that the watchmen upon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up unto Zion to the Lord our God. |
| [7]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; SingH7442[H8798] with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670[H8761] among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085[H8685] ye, praiseH1984[H8761] ye, and sayH559[H8798], O LORDH3068, saveH3467[H8685] thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478. |
[7]For thus saith the Lord, Rejoice with gladness for Jacob, and shout for joy among the chief of the Gentiles: publish praise, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. |
| [8]Behold, I will bringH935[H8688] them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908[H8765] them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205[H8802] togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thitherH8799. |
[8]Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the world, with the blind and the lame among them, with the woman with child, and her that is delivered also: a great company shall return hither. |
| [9]They shall comeH935[H8799] with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986[H8686] them: I will cause them to walkH3212[H8686] by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782[H8735]: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. |
[9]They shall come weeping, and with mercy will I bring them again: I will lead them by the rivers of water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born. |
| [10]HearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046[H8685] it in the islesH339 afar offH4801, and sayH559[H8798], He that scatteredH2219[H8764] IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908[H8762] him, and keepH8104[H8804] him, as a shepherdH7462[H8802] doth his flockH5739. |
[10]Hear the word of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel, will gather him and will keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. |
| [11]For the LORDH3068 hath redeemedH6299[H8804] JacobH3290, and ransomedH1350[H8804] him from the handH3027 of him that was stronger than heH2389. |
[11]For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him, that was stronger than he. |
| [12]Therefore they shall comeH935[H8804] and singH7442[H8765] in the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flow togetherH5102[H8804] to the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068, for wheatH1715, and for wineH8492, and for oilH3323, and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241: and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588; and they shall not sorrowH1669[H8800] any moreH3254 at allH8686. |
[12]Therefore they shall come, and rejoice in the light of Zion, and shall run to the bountifulness of the Lord, even for the wheat and for the wine, and for the oil, and for the increase of sheep, and bullocks: and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall have no more sorrow. |
| [13]Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055[H8799] in the danceH4234, both young menH970 and oldH2205 togetherH3162: for I will turnH2015[H8804] their mourningH60 into joyH8342, and will comfortH5162[H8765] them, and make them rejoiceH8055[H8765] from their sorrowH3015. |
[13]Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old men together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and give them joy for their sorrows. |
| [14]And I will satiateH7301[H8765] the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646[H8799] with my goodnessH2898, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[14]And I will replenish the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord. |
| [15]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; A voiceH6963 was heardH8085[H8738] in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065; RahelH7354 weepingH1058[H8764] for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985[H8765] to be comfortedH5162[H8736] for her children, because they were notH1121. |
[15]Thus saith the Lord, A voice was heard on high, a mourning and bitter weeping. Rachel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. |
| [16]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; RefrainH4513[H8798] thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832: for thy workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and they shall come againH7725[H8804] from the landH776 of the enemyH341.[H8802] |
[16]Thus saith the Lord, Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy: |
| [17]And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725[H8804] to their own borderH1366. |
[17]And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own borders. |
| [18]I have surelyH8085[H8800] heardH8085[H8804] EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110[H8711] himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256[H8765] me, and I was chastisedH3256[H8735], as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808[H3925][H8795] to the yoke: turnH7725[H8685] thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725[H8799]; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430. |
[18]I have heard Ephraim lamenting thus, Thou hast corrected me, and I was chastised as an untamed calf: convert thou me, and I shall be converted: for thou art the Lord my God. |
| [19]Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725[H8800], I repentedH5162[H8738]; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045[H8736], I smoteH5606[H8804] upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954[H8804], yea, even confoundedH3637[H8738], because I did bearH5375[H8804] the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271. |
[19]Surely after that I converted, I repented: and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. |
| [20]Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696[H8763] against him, I do earnestlyH2142[H8800] rememberH2142[H8799] him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993[H8804] for him; I will surelyH7355[H8763] have mercyH7355[H8762] upon him, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[20]Is Ephraim my dear son or pleasant child? Yet since I spake unto him, I still remembered him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I will surely have compassion upon him, saith the Lord. |
| [21]Set thee upH5324[H8685] waymarksH6725, makeH7760[H8798] thee high heapsH8564: setH7896[H8798] thine heartH3820 toward the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 which thou wentestH1980[H8804]: turn againH7725[H8798], O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725[H8798] to these thy citiesH5892. |
[21]Set thee up signs: make thee heaps: set thine heart toward the path and way, that thou hast walked: turn again, O virgin of Israel: turn again to these thy cities. |
| [22]How long wilt thou go aboutH2559[H8691], O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254[H8804] a new thingH2319 in the earthH776, A womanH5347 shall compassH5437[H8779] a manH1397. |
[22]How long wilt thou go astray, O thou rebellious daughter? For the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall compass a man. |
| [23]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559[H8799] this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725[H8800] their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288[H8762] thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944. |
[23]Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet shall they say this thing in the land of Judah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity, The Lord bless thee, O habitation of justice and holy mountain. |
| [24]And there shall dwellH3427[H8804] in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof togetherH3162, husbandmenH406, and they that go forthH5265[H8804] with flocksH5739. |
[24]And Judah shall dwell in it, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen and they that go forth with the flock. |
| [25]For I have satiatedH7301[H8689] the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and I have replenishedH4390[H8765] every sorrowfulH1669[H8804] soulH5315. |
[25]For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. |
| [26]Upon this I awakedH6974[H8689], and beheldH7200[H8799]; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto meH8804. |
[26]Therefore I awaked and beheld, and my sleep was sweet unto me. |
| [27]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will sowH2232[H8804] the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120, and with the seedH2233 of beastH929. |
[27]Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel, and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast. |
| [28]And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched overH8245[H8804] them, to pluck upH5428[H8800], and to break downH5422[H8800], and to throw downH2040[H8800], and to destroyH6[H8687], and to afflictH7489[H8687]; so will I watch overH8245[H8799] them, to buildH1129[H8800], and to plantH5193[H8800], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[28]And like as I have watched upon them, to pluck up and to root out, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to plague them, so will I watch over them, to build and to plant them, saith the Lord. |
| [29]In those daysH3117 they shall sayH559[H8799] no more, The fathersH1 have eatenH398[H8804] a sour grapeH1155, and the children'sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edgeH6949.[H8799] |
[29]In those days shall they say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. |
| [30]But every oneH376 shall dieH4191[H8799] for his own iniquityH5771: every manH120 that eatethH398[H8802] the sour grapeH1155, his teethH8127 shall be set on edgeH6949.[H8799] |
[30]But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. |
| [31]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772[H8804] a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: |
[31]Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, |
| [32]Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772[H8804] with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388[H8687] them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318[H8687] of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565[H8689], although I was an husbandH1166[H8804] unto them, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: |
[32]Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my covenant they break, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord. |
| [33]But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772[H8799] with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, I will putH5414[H8804] my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789[H8799] it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971. |
[33]But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people. |
| [34]And they shall teachH3925[H8762] no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559[H8800], KnowH3045[H8798] the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045[H8799] me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545[H8799] their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142[H8799] their sin no moreH2403. |
[34]And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and will remember their sins no more. |
| [35]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, which givethH5414[H8802] the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280[H8802] the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993[H8799]; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: |
[35]Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light to the day, and the courses of the moon and of the stars for a light to the night, which breaketh the sea, when the waves thereof roar: his name is the Lord of hosts. |
| [36]If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185[H8799] from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673[H8799] from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for everH3117. |
[36]If these ordinances depart out of my sight, saith the Lord, then shall the seed of Israel cease from being a nation before me, forever. |
| [37]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measuredH4058[H8735], and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713[H8735] beneathH4295, I will also cast offH3988[H8799] all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have doneH6213[H8804], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[37]Thus saith the Lord, If the heavens can be measured, or the foundations of the earth be searched out beneath, then will I cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith the Lord. |
| [38]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129[H8738] to the LORDH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the cornerH6438. |
[38]Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananel, unto the gate of the corner. |
| [39]And the measuringH4060 lineH6957[H8675][H6961] shall yet go forthH3318[H8804] over against it upon the hillH1389 GarebH1619, and shall compass aboutH5437[H8738] to GoathH1601. |
[39]And the line of the measure shall go forth in his presence upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. |
| [40]And the whole valleyH6010 of the dead bodiesH6297, and of the ashesH1880, and all the fieldsH7709[H8675][H8309] unto the brookH5158 of KidronH6939, unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 toward the eastH4217, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; it shall not be plucked upH5428[H8735], nor thrown downH2040[H8735] any more for everH5769. |
[40]And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, and unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord, neither shall it be plucked up nor destroyed anymore forever. |
