For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were
yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any
strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

revoked, and because of their iniquity, not one of them will preserve his life.

yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

fury: mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have
pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice,
yet will I not hear them.

respond with wrath. I will not look on them with
pity, nor will I
spare them. Although they
shout loudly in My ears, I will not
listen to them.”

snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans;
yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.

foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would
confirm the word.

yet they wait for the
fulfillment of their message.

Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet
yet for any work, when the fire hath
devoured it, and it is burned?
Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and
charred it!
And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall
devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
And I will set My face against them. Though they may have escaped the fire,

whore also with the Assyrians, because thou
wast unsatiable;
yea, thou hast played the
harlot with them, and
yet couldest not be satisfied.

prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not
yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he
prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
But this king rebelled against Babylon by sending his envoys to Egypt to ask for horses and a large army. Will he
flourish? Will the one who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and
yet escape?’

despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
He
despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Seeing that he gave his hand in
pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!’

doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they
despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly
polluted: then I said, I would pour out my
fury upon them in the wilderness, to
consume them.
Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly
profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.
Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
Moreover, with an
uplifted hand I
swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands—
Nevertheless mine eye
spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
Yet I looked on them with
pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Yet in this your fathers have
blasphemed me, in that they have committed a
trespass against me.

blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness against Me.

abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath
lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.

yet another
violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
And when her sister
Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her
inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to
remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the
harlot in the land of Egypt.
Yet she multiplied her
promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had
prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the
harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto
Aholibah, the
lewd women.
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke:
yet neither shalt thou
mourn nor
weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

mourn or
weep or let your tears flow.

horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre that this is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.
Wilt thou
yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who
slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.

“Son of man,
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor
strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made
bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.

Eden?
yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of
Eden unto the
nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the
uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Who then is like you in glory and greatness among the trees of
Eden? You also will be brought down to the depths of the earth to be with the trees of
Eden. You will lie among the
uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord GOD.’”

Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down

uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.

dost not speak to
warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

dissuade him from his way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity,

whither they went, they
profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

yet they had to leave His land.’

slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.

Yet I will
appoint them to keep charge of all the work for the temple and everything to be done in it.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron,
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with
miry clay.

And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying,
Hew the tree down, and destroy it;
yet leave the
stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the
dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be
drenched with the
dew of heaven, and
graze with the beasts of the field till seven times pass him by.’

thyself, and give thy rewards to another;
yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and
interpret it for him.

prosper in his hand; and he shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us:
yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our
iniquities, and understand thy truth.
Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this
disaster has come upon us,
yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our
iniquities and giving attention to Your truth.

calamity in store and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all He does;

shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
And now will I
shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up
yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall
stir up all against the realm of
Grecia.
Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will
stir up
everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.
And they that understand among the people shall
instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
spoil, many days.

instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or
plundered.
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to
purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is
yet for a time appointed.
Some of the wise will fall, so that they may be refined,
purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

And the LORD said unto him, Call his name
Jezreel; for
yet a little while, and I will
avenge the blood of
Jezreel upon the house of
Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

Hosea, “Name him
Jezreel, for soon I will bring the
bloodshed of
Jezreel upon the house of
Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel.
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by
horsemen.

compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.”
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’
Then said the LORD unto me, Go
yet, love a woman beloved of her friend,
yet an
adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
Then the LORD said to me, “Go show love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an
adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and offer
raisin cakes to idols.”

strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that
strive with the priest.

contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who
contend with a priest.
Though thou, Israel, play the
harlot,
yet let not Judah
offend; and come not ye unto
Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-
aven, nor
swear, The LORD liveth.
Though you
prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to
Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-
aven, and do not
swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’

heal your wound.
Strangers have
devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not:

streaked with gray, but he does not know.
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.

arrogance testifies against them,

transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them,

strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would
redeem them, they speak lies against Me.

The
watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a
snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

watchman, along with my God,

Though they bring up their children,
yet will I
bereave them, that there shall not be a man left:

bereave them of each one.
Yes,
woe be to them when I turn away from them!
Ephraim is
smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit:
yea, though they bring forth,
yet will I
slay even the beloved fruit of their
womb.

withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will
slay the darlings of their wombs.
Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with
deceit: but Judah
yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.

Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
Yet I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt; you know no God but Me, for there is no
Savior besides Me.
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with
weeping, and with
mourning:
“
Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting,
weeping, and
mourning.”
For I will
avenge their blood, which I have not
yet avenged.” For the LORD dwells in
Zion.

And also I have
withholden the rain from you, when there were
yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece
whereupon it rained not
withered.
“I also
withheld the rain from you when the harvest was three months away. I sent rain on one city but
withheld it from another. One field received rain; another without rain
withered.

invoked.”

sifted in a
sieve; but not a

divination for money.
Yet they
lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No
disaster can come upon us.”
For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God
forever and ever.

Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me One to be ruler over Israel— One whose origins are of old, from the days of
eternity.
