watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which
shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

raiment.

Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.

shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the
womb? saith thy God.

shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

proclaim My glory among the nations.

disaster came upon them,’” declares the LORD.

forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

apostasies will
reprimand you. Consider and
realize how evil and bitter it is for you to
forsake the LORD your God and to have no fear of Me,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts.

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

shall turn from me. Behold, I will

shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou
shalt not

prosper by their help.”

shall he return unto her again?
shall not that land be greatly
polluted? but thou hast played the
harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.

shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests
shall be

shall wonder.

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

deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye
shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

Ah, Lord GOD, how completely You have
deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying, ‘You will have peace,’ while a sword is at our throats.”
At that time
shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to
fan, nor to
cleanse,
At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A
searing wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward the daughter of My people, but not to
winnow or to
sift;
Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.

pronounce judgments against them.”

shall come up as clouds, and his
chariots shall be as a
whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles.

shall thy vain thoughts
lodge within thee?

shall be
desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

desolate, but I will not finish its destruction.
For this
shall the earth
mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not
repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Therefore the earth will
mourn and the heavens above will grow dark. I have spoken, I have
planned, and I will not relent or turn back.”
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.
Every city flees at the sound of the
horseman and archer. They enter the thickets and
climb among the rocks. Every city is abandoned; no inhabitant is left.
And when thou art
spoiled, what
wilt thou do? Though thou clothest
thyself with
crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain
shalt thou make
thyself fair; thy lovers will
despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Wherefore a lion out of the forest
shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings
shall spoil them, a
leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence
shall be
torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

ravage them. A
leopard will lie in wait near their cities, and
everyone who ventures out will be
torn to pieces. For their
rebellious acts are many, and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.
How
shall I
pardon thee for this? thy children have
forsaken me, and
sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed
adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
“Why should I
forgive you? Your children have
forsaken Me and
sworn by gods that are not gods. I satisfied their needs, yet they committed
adultery and assembled at the houses of prostitutes.
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and
shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
Should I not
punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
They have
belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither
shall evil come upon us; neither
shall we see sword nor famine:
They have
lied about the LORD and said: “He will not do anything;
harm will not come to us; we will not see sword or famine.
And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
The prophets are but wind, for the word is not in them. So let their own predictions
befall them.”

shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they
shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they
shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they
shall impoverish thy
fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
They will
devour your harvest and food; they will
consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.”

shall come to pass, when ye
shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then
shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have
forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so
shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
And when the people ask, ‘For what
offense has the LORD our God done all these things to us?’ You are to tell them, ‘Just as you have
forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so will you serve foreigners in a land that is not your own.’”
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD:
shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
Should I not
punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

shepherds with their flocks
shall come unto her; they
shall pitch their tents against her round about; they
shall feed every one in his place.

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.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “
Glean the
remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine. Pass your hand once more like a
grape gatherer over the branches.”
To whom
shall I speak, and give
warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is
uncircumcised, and they cannot
hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
To whom can I give this
warning? Who will
listen to me? Look, their ears are closed, so they cannot hear. See, the word of the LORD has become offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.
Therefore I am full of the
fury of the LORD; I am
weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife
shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
But I am full of the LORD’s wrath; I am
tired of holding it back. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the young men gathered together. For both husband and wife will be captured, the old and the very old alike.
And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.

Were they
ashamed when they had committed
abomination?
nay, they were not at all
ashamed, neither could they
blush: therefore they
shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they
shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Are they
ashamed of the
abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to
blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I
punish them, they will
collapse,” says the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths: ‘Where is the good way?’ Then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’
Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

stumbling blocks before this people; fathers and sons alike will be
staggered; friends and neighbors will perish.”
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
This is what the LORD says: “Behold, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is
stirred up from the ends of the earth.
They
shall lay hold on bow and
spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they
ride upon horses, set in
array as men for war against thee, O daughter of
Zion.
They
grasp the bow and
spear; they are cruel and
merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they
ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of
Zion.”
O daughter of my people, dress
yourselves in
sackcloth and roll in ashes.
Mourn with bitter
