| [1]If thou wilt returnH7725[H8799], O IsraelH3478, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, returnH7725[H8799] unto me: and if thou wilt put awayH5493[H8686] thine abominationsH8251 out of my sightH6440, then shalt thou not removeH5110.[H8799] |
[1]O Israel, if thou return, return unto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. |
| [2]And thou shalt swearH7650[H8738], The LORDH3068 livethH2416, in truthH571, in judgmentH4941, and in righteousnessH6666; and the nationsH1471 shall blessH1288[H8694] themselves in him, and in him shall they gloryH1984.[H8691] |
[2]And thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glory in him. |
| [3]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 to the menH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Break upH5214[H8798] your fallow groundH5215, and sowH2232[H8799] not among thornsH6975. |
[3]For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah, and to Jerusalem, |
| [4]CircumciseH4135[H8734] yourselves to the LORDH3068, and take awayH5493[H8685] the foreskinsH6190 of your heartH3824, ye menH376 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389: lest my furyH2534 come forthH3318[H8799] like fireH784, and burnH1197[H8804] that none can quenchH3518[H8764] it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611. |
[4]Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among the thorns: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, ye men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, lest my wrath come forth like fire, and burn, that none can quench it, because of the wickedness of your inventions. |
| [5]DeclareH5046[H8685] ye in JudahH3063, and publishH8085[H8685] in JerusalemH3389; and sayH559[H8798], BlowH8628[H8798] ye the trumpetH7782 in the landH776: cryH7121[H8798], gather togetherH4390[H8761], and sayH559[H8798], AssembleH622[H8734] yourselves, and let us goH935[H8799] into the defencedH4013 citiesH5892. |
[5]Declare in Judah, and show forth in Jerusalem, and say, Blow the trumpet in the land: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into strong cities. |
| [6]Set upH5375[H8798] the standardH5251 toward ZionH6726: retireH5756[H8685], stayH5975[H8799] not: for I will bringH935[H8688] evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667. |
[6]Set up the standard in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the north, and a great destruction. |
| [7]The lionH738 is come upH5927[H8804] from his thicketH5441, and the destroyerH7843[H8688] of the GentilesH1471 is on his wayH5265[H8804]; he is gone forthH3318[H8804] from his placeH4725 to makeH7760[H8800] thy landH776 desolateH8047; and thy citiesH5892 shall be laid wasteH5327[H8799], without an inhabitantH3427.[H8802] |
[7]The lion is come up from his den, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shall be destroyed without an inhabitant. |
| [8]For this girdH2296[H8798] you with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594[H8798] and howlH3213[H8685]: for the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 is not turned backH7725 from usH8804. |
[8]Wherefore gird you with sackcloth: lament, and howl, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned back from us. |
| [9]And it shall come to pass at that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 shall perishH6[H8799], and the heartH3820 of the princesH8269; and the priestsH3548 shall be astonishedH8074[H8738], and the prophetsH5030 shall wonderH8539.[H8799] |
[9]And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. |
| [10]Then saidH559[H8799] I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! surelyH403 thou hast greatlyH5377[H8687] deceivedH5377[H8689] this peopleH5971 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559[H8800], Ye shall have peaceH7965; whereas the swordH2719 reachethH5060[H8804] unto the soulH5315. |
[10]Then said I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace, and the sword pierceth unto the heart. |
| [11]At that timeH6256 shall it be saidH559[H8735] to this peopleH5971 and to JerusalemH3389, A dryH6703 windH7307 of the high placesH8205 in the wildernessH4057 towardH1870 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, not to fanH2219[H8800], H1305nor to cleanseH8687 |
[11]At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind in the high places of the wilderness cometh toward the daughter of my people, but neither to fan nor to cleanse. |
| [12]Even a fullH4392 windH7307 from those places shall comeH935[H8799] unto me: now also will I giveH1696[H8762] sentence against themH4941. |
[12]A mighty wind shall come unto me from those places, and now will I also give sentence upon them. |
| [13]Behold, he shall come upH5927[H8799] as cloudsH6051, and his chariotsH4818 shall be as a whirlwindH5492: his horsesH5483 are swifterH7043[H8804] than eaglesH5404. WoeH188 unto us! for we are spoiledH7703.[H8795] |
[13]Behold, he shall come up as the clouds, and his chariots shall be as a tempest: his horses are lighter than eagles. Woe unto us, for we are destroyed. |
| [14]O JerusalemH3389, washH3526[H8761] thine heartH3820 from wickednessH7451, that thou mayest be savedH3467[H8735]. How long shall thy vainH205 thoughtsH4284 lodgeH3885[H8686] within theeH7130? |
[14]O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved: how long shall thy wicked thoughts remain within thee? |
| [15]For a voiceH6963 declarethH5046[H8688] from DanH1835, and publishethH8085[H8688] afflictionH205 from mountH2022 EphraimH669. |
[15]For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. |
| [16]Make ye mentionH2142[H8685] to the nationsH1471; behold, publishH8085[H8685] against JerusalemH3389, that watchersH5341[H8802] comeH935[H8802] from a farH4801 countryH776, and give outH5414[H8799] their voiceH6963 against the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. |
[16]Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Jerusalem, Behold, the scouts come from a far country, and cry out against the cities of Judah. |
| [17]As keepersH8104[H8802] of a fieldH7704, are they against her round aboutH5439; because she hath been rebelliousH4784[H8804] against me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[17]They have compassed her about as the watchmen of the field, because it hath provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord. |
| [18]Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213[H8804] these things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060[H8804] unto thine heartH3820. |
[18]Thy ways and thine inventions have procured thee these things, such is thy wickedness: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall pierce unto thine heart. |
| [19]My bowelsH4578, my bowelsH4578! I am painedH2342[H8799][H8675][H3176][H8686] at my veryH7023 heartH3820; my heartH3820 maketh a noiseH1993[H8802] in me; I cannot hold my peaceH2790[H8686], because thou hast heardH8085[H8804], O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. |
[19]My belly, my belly, I am pained, even at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soul hath heard the sound of the trumpet, and the alarm of the battle. |
| [20]DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is criedH7121[H8738]; for the whole landH776 is spoiledH7703[H8795]: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiledH7703[H8795], and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281. |
[20]Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment. |
| [21]How long shall I seeH7200[H8799] the standardH5251, and hearH8085[H8799] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782? |
[21]How long shall I see the standard , and hear the sound of the trumpet? |
| [22]For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they have not knownH3045[H8804] me; they are sottishH5530 childrenH1121, and they have none understandingH995[H8737]: they are wiseH2450 to do evilH7489[H8687], but to do goodH3190[H8687] they have no knowledgeH3045.[H8804] |
[22]For my people is foolish, they have not known me: they are foolish children, and have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do well they have no knowledge. |
| [23]I beheldH7200[H8804] the earthH776, and, lo, it was without formH8414, and voidH922; and the heavensH8064, and they had no lightH216. |
[23]I have looked upon the earth, and lo, it was without form and void: and to the heavens, and they had no light. |
| [24]I beheldH7200[H8804] the mountainsH2022, and, lo, they trembledH7493[H8801], and all the hillsH1389 moved lightlyH7043.[H8701] |
[24]I beheld the mountains: and lo, they trembled and all the hills shook. |
| [25]I beheldH7200[H8804], and, lo, there was no manH120, and all the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 were fledH5074.[H8804] |
[25]I beheld, and lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heaven were departed. |
| [26]I beheldH7200[H8804], and, lo, the fruitful placeH3759 was a wildernessH4057, and all the citiesH5892 thereof were broken downH5422[H8738] at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and by his fierceH2740 angerH639. |
[26]I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath. |
| [27]For thus hath the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8804], The whole landH776 shall be desolateH8077; yet will I not makeH6213[H8799] a full endH3617. |
[27]For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full end. |
| [28]For this shall the earthH776 mournH56[H8799], and the heavensH8064 aboveH4605 be blackH6937[H8804]: because I have spokenH1696[H8765] it, I have purposedH2161[H8804] it, and will not repentH5162[H8738], neither will I turn backH7725 from itH8799. |
[28]Therefore shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above shall be darkened, because I have pronounced it: I have thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. |
| [29]The whole cityH5892 shall fleeH1272[H8802] for the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571 and bowmenH7198[H7411][H8802]; they shall goH935[H8804] into thicketsH5645, and climb upH5927[H8804] upon the rocksH3710: every cityH5892 shall be forsakenH5800[H8803], and not a manH376 dwellH3427[H8802] thereinH2004. |
[29]The whole city shall flee, for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen: they shall go into thickets and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. |
| [30]And when thou art spoiledH7703[H8803], what wilt thou doH6213[H8799]? Though thou clothestH3847[H8799] thyself with crimsonH8144, though thou deckestH5710[H8799] thee with ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091, though thou rentestH7167[H8799] thy faceH5869 with paintingH6320, in vainH7723 shalt thou make thyself fairH3302[H8691]; thy loversH5689[H8802] will despiseH3988[H8804] thee, they will seekH1245[H8762] thy lifeH5315. |
[30]And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou paintest thy face with colors, yet shalt thou trim thyself in vain: for thy lovers will abhor thee and seek thy life. |
| [31]For I have heardH8085[H8804] a voiceH6963 as of a woman in travailH2470[H8802], and the anguishH6869 as of her that bringeth forth her first childH1069[H8688], the voiceH6963 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, that bewailethH3306[H8691] herself, that spreadethH6566[H8762] her handsH3709, saying, WoeH188 is me now! for my soulH5315 is weariedH5888[H8804] because of murderersH2026.[H8802] |
[31]For I have heard a noise as of a woman travailing, or as one laboring of her first child, even the voice of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her hands: woe is me now: for my soul fainteth because of the murderers. |
