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.

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

intercession to me: for I will not hear
thee.

plea or petition on their behalf, and do not
beg Me, for I will not
listen to you.

listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.

avert your
doom, so that you can
rejoice?

plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to
contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked
prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?

carnage.

contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they
wearied thee, then how
wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

compete with horses? If you
stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt
treacherously with
thee;
yea, they have called a multitude after
thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto
thee.

betrayed you; even they have
cried aloud against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.
Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get
thee a linen
girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and
buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your
waist, but do not let it touch water.”
And it came to 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.”

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?

yourself trained? Will not pangs of
anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?

adulteries, and thy neighings, the
lewdness of thy
whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields.

thee, O Jerusalem!
wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
O LORD, though our
iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have
sinned against
thee.

iniquities testify against us, O LORD, act for the sake of Your name. Indeed, our rebellions are many; we have
sinned against You.
We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have
sinned against
thee.
We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, the guilt of our fathers; indeed, we have
sinned against You.
Are there any among the
vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon
thee: for thou hast made all these things.

skies alone send showers? Is this not by You, O LORD our God? So we put our hope in You, for You have done all these things.
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?

pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will
mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your
welfare?
Thou hast
forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against
thee, and destroy
thee; I am
weary with
repenting.

forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am
weary of showing
compassion.
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.
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.”

thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the
vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto
thee; but return not thou unto them.

spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.

thee to save
thee and to deliver
thee, saith the LORD.

thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will
redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.

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?’

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.
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.
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.

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.
As for me, I have not
hastened from being a
pastor to follow
thee: neither have I desired the
woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before
thee.
But I have not run away from being Your
shepherd; I have not desired the day of
despair. You know that the
utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.
Arise, and go down to the
potter’s house, and there I will cause
thee to hear my words.

potter’s house, and there I will
reveal My message to you.”
Shall evil be
recompensed for good? for they have
digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before
thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have
dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You to speak good on their behalf, to turn Your wrath from them.
Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to
slay me:
forgive not their iniquity, neither
blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before
thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
But You, O LORD, know all their deadly plots against me. Do not
wipe out their guilt or
blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.
And go forth unto the valley of the son of
Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and
proclaim there the words that I shall tell
thee,
and go out to the Valley of Ben-
hinnom near the entrance of the
Potsherd Gate.
Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
Then shalt thou break the
bottle in the sight of the men that go with
thee,
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make
thee a terror to
thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them
captive into Babylon, and shall
slay them with the sword.
For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will make you a terror to
yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.
