Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with
hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing
scourge shall
pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under

Sheol. When the
overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and
falsehood our hiding place.”

disannulled, and your agreement with
hell shall not stand; when the overflowing
scourge shall
pass through, then ye shall be
trodden down by it.
Your covenant with death will be dissolved, and your agreement with
Sheol will not stand. When the
overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be
trampled by it.

sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night.” The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.

chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,

sow the ground
withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and
plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large
pastures.

solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet
habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Look upon
Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful
pasture, a tent that does not
wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.

galley with oars, neither shall
gallant ship
pass thereby.

Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no
galley with oars will row, and no
majestic vessel will
pass.

quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall
pass through it for ever and ever.

desolate; no one will ever again
pass through it.

highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of
holiness; the unclean shall not
pass over it; but it shall be for those: the

overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be

drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man
passed through, and where no man dwelt?

drought and darkness, a land where no one travels and no one lives?’

pastors also
transgressed against me, and the prophets

prophesied by
Baal and followed useless idols.

ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not
weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

donkey at home in the wilderness,
sniffing the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can restrain her

whoredom, that she
defiled the land, and committed
adultery with stones and with stocks.

pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be
astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

tremble in fear, and the prophets will be
astounded.”

tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot
pass it: and though the waves thereof
toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they
roar, yet can they not
pass over it?
Do you not fear Me?” declares the LORD. “Do you not
tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an
enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves
surge, but they cannot prevail. They
roar but cannot cross it.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly
glean the
remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

Glean the
remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine.
Pass your hand once more like a
grape gatherer over the branches.”
I will surely
consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall
fade; and the things that I have given them shall
pass away from them.
I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the tree, and even the leaf will wither. Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”

weeping and
wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a
lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can
pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
I will take up a
weeping and
wailing for the mountains, a
dirge over the wilderness
pasture, for they have been
scorched so no one
passes through, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. Both the birds of the air and the beasts have fled; they have gone away.
Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
Who is the man wise enough to understand this? To whom has the mouth of the LORD spoken, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and
scorched like a desert, so no one can
pass through it?
For the
pastors are become
brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not
prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought
lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is
passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat
avert your
doom, so that you can
rejoice?
Many
pastors have destroyed my
vineyard, they have
trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a
desolate wilderness.
And it shall come to
pass, after that I have
plucked them out I will return, and have
compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his
heritage, and every man to his land.

compassion on them and return each one to his inheritance and to his land.
And it shall come to
pass, if they will
diligently learn the ways of my people, to
swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to
swear by
Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

diligently learn the ways of My people and
swear by My name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives’—just as they once taught My people to
swear by
Baal—then they will be established among My people.

pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the
girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Many days later the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
Therefore will I
scatter them as the
stubble that
passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
And the wild
asses did stand in the high places, they
snuffed up the wind like
dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
Wild
donkeys stand on barren heights; they
pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of
pasture.”
