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.

collapse,” says the LORD.

wailing, as you would for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.

fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be
extinguished.

scare them away.

bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride: for the land
shall be

I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and
gladness and the voices of the
bride and
bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”

And death
shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places

Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that
shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to
covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice
deceit.
Were they

melt them, and try them; for how
shall I do for the daughter of my people?

Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD:
shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?

punish them for these things? declares the LORD. Should I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men
shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the
harvestman, and none
shall gather them.

reaper, with no one to gather it.”

everlasting king: at his wrath the earth
shall tremble, and the nations
shall not be able to
abide his
indignation.

endure His
indignation.

brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they

Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:

shall not be able to escape; and though they

disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not
listen to them.

How long
shall the land
mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He
shall not see our last end.
How long will the land
mourn and the grass of every field be
withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.”
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD
shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh
shall have peace.
Over all the barren heights in the wilderness the destroyers have come, for the sword of the LORD devours from one end of the earth to the other. No flesh has peace.
They have sown wheat, but
shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but
shall not profit: and they
shall be
ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves to no
avail. Bear the shame of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”
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.
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them,
shall even be as this

stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth—of no use at all.
Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every
bottle shall be filled with wine: and they
shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every
bottle shall be filled with wine?

But if ye will not hear it, my soul
shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye
shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’S flock is carried away
captive.

weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken
captive.

yourselves, sit down: for your
principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

The cities of the south
shall be shut up, and none
shall open them: Judah
shall be carried away
captive all of it, it
shall be wholly carried away
captive.

tight, and no one can open them. All Judah has been carried into exile, wholly taken
captive.
What
wilt thou say when he
shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee:
shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in
travail?
What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you
yourself trained? Will not pangs of
anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?
I have seen thine
adulteries, and thy neighings, the
lewdness of thy
whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields.

wilt thou not be made clean? when
shall it once be?
Then said I,
Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye
shall not see the sword, neither
shall ye have famine; but I will give you
assured peace in this place.
“
Ah, Lord GOD!” I replied, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place.’”
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that
prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine
shall not be in this land; By sword and famine
shall those prophets be consumed.
Therefore this is what the LORD says about the prophets who
prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end!
And the people to whom they
prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they
shall have none to
bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
And the people to whom they
prophesy will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and sword. There will be no one to
bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil upon them.
And it
shall come to pass, if they say unto thee,
Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
For who
shall have
pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who
shall bemoan thee? or who
shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
Who will have
pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will
mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your
welfare?
The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will
intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is
kindled in mine anger, which
shall burn upon you.
Then I will
enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will
kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
And I will make thee unto this people a
fenced brasen wall: and they
shall fight against thee, but they
shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
They
shall die of
grievous deaths; they
shall not be
lamented; neither
shall they be buried; but they
shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they
shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases
shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
“They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be
mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
Both the great and the small
shall die in this land: they
shall not be buried, neither
shall men
lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves
bald for them:
“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or
mourned, nor will
anyone cut himself or
shave his head for them.
Neither
shall men
tear themselves for them in
mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither
shall men give them the cup of
consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
No food will be offered to comfort those who
mourn the dead; not even a cup of
consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
And it
shall come to pass, when thou shalt
shew this people all these words, and they
shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great
disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there
shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not
shew you favour.
So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they
shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they
shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
But for now I will send for many
fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will
hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles
shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and
shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
And thou, even
thyself, shalt discontinue from thine
heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have
kindled a fire in mine anger, which
shall burn for ever.
For he
shall be like the
heath in the desert, and
shall not see when good cometh; but
shall inhabit the
parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
He will be like a
shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the
parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
For he
shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and
shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf
shall be green; and
shall not be careful in the year of
drought, neither
shall cease from yielding fruit.
He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not
worry in a year of
drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.
As the
partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right,
shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end
shall be a
fool.
Like a
partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the
fool.”
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that
forsake thee
shall be
ashamed, and they that depart from me
shall be written in the earth, because they have
forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who
abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water.
Heal me, O LORD, and I
shall be
healed; save me, and I
shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Heal me, O LORD, and I will be
healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.
