Jeremiah 4:5--6:30

4:5

Declare
<05046> (8685)

ye in Judah
<03063>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Blow
<08628> (8798)

ye the trumpet
<07782>

in the land
<0776>_:

cry
<07121> (8798)_,

gather together
<04390> (8761)_,

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Assemble
<0622> (8734)

yourselves, and let us go
<0935> (8799)

into the defenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_.

4:6

Set up
<05375> (8798)

the standard
<05251>

toward Zion
<06726>_:

retire
<05756> (8685)_,

stay
<05975> (8799)

not: for I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

from the north
<06828>_,

and a great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

{retire: or, strengthen} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

4:7

The lion
<0738>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

from his thicket
<05441>_,

and the destroyer
<07843> (8688)

of the Gentiles
<01471>

is on his way
<05265> (8804)_;

he is gone forth
<03318> (8804)

from his place
<04725>

to make
<07760> (8800)

thy land
<0776>

desolate
<08047>_;

[and] thy cities
<05892>

shall be laid waste
<05327> (8799)_,

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

4:8

For this gird
<02296> (8798)

you with sackcloth
<08242>_,

lament
<05594> (8798)

and howl
<03213> (8685)_:

for the fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

is not turned back
<07725> (8804)

from us.

4:9

And it shall come to pass at that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[that] the heart
<03820>

of the king
<04428>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_,

and the heart
<03820>

of the princes
<08269>_;

and the priests
<03548>

shall be astonished
<08074> (8738)_,

and the prophets
<05030>

shall wonder
<08539> (8799)_.

4:10

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

surely
<0403>

thou hast greatly
<05377> (8687)

deceived
<05377> (8689)

this people
<05971>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall have peace
<07965>_;

whereas the sword
<02719>

reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto the soul
<05315>_.

4:11

At that time
<06256>

shall it be said
<0559> (8735)

to this people
<05971>

and to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

A dry
<06703>

wind
<07307>

of the high places
<08205>

in the wilderness
<04057>

toward
<01870>

the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_,

not to fan
<02219> (8800)_,

nor to cleanse
<01305> (8687)_,

4:12

[Even] a full
<04392>

wind
<07307>

from those [places] shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto me: now also will I give
<01696> (8762)

sentence
<04941>

against them. {a full...: or, a fuller wind than those} {give...: Heb. utter judgments}

4:13

Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)

as clouds
<06051>_,

and his chariots
<04818>

[shall be] as a whirlwind
<05492>_:

his horses
<05483>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than eagles
<05404>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for we are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.

4:14

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

wash
<03526> (8761)

thine heart
<03820>

from wickedness
<07451>_,

that thou mayest be saved
<03467> (8735)_.

How long shall thy vain
<0205>

thoughts
<04284>

lodge
<03885> (8686)

within
<07130>

thee?

4:15

For a voice
<06963>

declareth
<05046> (8688)

from Dan
<01835>_,

and publisheth
<08085> (8688)

affliction
<0205>

from mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_.

4:16

Make ye mention
<02142> (8685)

to the nations
<01471>_;

behold, publish
<08085> (8685)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

[that] watchers
<05341> (8802)

come
<0935> (8802)

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_,

and give out
<05414> (8799)

their voice
<06963>

against the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

4:17

As keepers
<08104> (8802)

of a field
<07704>_,

are they against her round about
<05439>_;

because she hath been rebellious
<04784> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

4:18

Thy way
<01870>

and thy doings
<04611>

have procured
<06213> (8804)

these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness
<07451>_,

because it is bitter
<04751>_,

because it reacheth
<05060> (8804)

unto thine heart
<03820>_.

4:19

My bowels
<04578>_,

my bowels
<04578>_!

I am pained
<02342> (8799) (8675) <03176> (8686)

at my very
<07023>

heart
<03820>_;

my heart
<03820>

maketh a noise
<01993> (8802)

in me; I cannot hold my peace
<02790> (8686)_,

because thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,

O my soul
<05315>_,

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

the alarm
<08643>

of war
<04421>_.

{my very...: Heb. the walls of my heart}

4:20

Destruction
<07667>

upon destruction
<07667>

is cried
<07121> (8738)_;

for the whole land
<0776>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

suddenly
<06597>

are my tents
<0168>

spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] my curtains
<03407>

in a moment
<07281>_.

4:21

How long shall I see
<07200> (8799)

the standard
<05251>_,

[and] hear
<08085> (8799)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_?

4:22

For my people
<05971>

[is] foolish
<0191>_,

they have not known
<03045> (8804)

me; they [are] sottish
<05530>

children
<01121>_,

and they have none understanding
<0995> (8737)_:

they [are] wise
<02450>

to do evil
<07489> (8687)_,

but to do good
<03190> (8687)

they have no knowledge
<03045> (8804)_.

4:23

I beheld
<07200> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_,

and, lo, [it was] without form
<08414>_,

and void
<0922>_;

and the heavens
<08064>_,

and they [had] no light
<0216>_.

4:24

I beheld
<07200> (8804)

the mountains
<02022>_,

and, lo, they trembled
<07493> (8801)_,

and all the hills
<01389>

moved lightly
<07043> (8701)_.

4:25

I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and, lo, [there was] no man
<0120>_,

and all the birds
<05775>

of the heavens
<08064>

were fled
<05074> (8804)_.

4:26

I beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and, lo, the fruitful place
<03759>

[was] a wilderness
<04057>_,

and all the cities
<05892>

thereof were broken down
<05422> (8738)

at the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] by his fierce
<02740>

anger
<0639>_.

4:27

For thus hath the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

The whole land
<0776>

shall be desolate
<08077>_;

yet will I not make
<06213> (8799)

a full end
<03617>_.

4:28

For this shall the earth
<0776>

mourn
<056> (8799)_,

and the heavens
<08064>

above
<04605>

be black
<06937> (8804)_:

because I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it], I have purposed
<02161> (8804)

[it], and will not repent
<05162> (8738)_,

neither will I turn back
<07725> (8799)

from it.

4:29

The whole city
<05892>

shall flee
<01272> (8802)

for the noise
<06963>

of the horsemen
<06571>

and bowmen
<07198> <07411> (8802)_;

they shall go
<0935> (8804)

into thickets
<05645>_,

and climb up
<05927> (8804)

upon the rocks
<03710>_:

every city
<05892>

[shall be] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_,

and not a man
<0376>

dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein
<02004>_.

4:30

And [when] thou [art] spoiled
<07703> (8803)_,

what wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)_?

Though thou clothest
<03847> (8799)

thyself with crimson
<08144>_,

though thou deckest
<05710> (8799)

thee with ornaments
<05716>

of gold
<02091>_,

though thou rentest
<07167> (8799)

thy face
<05869>

with painting
<06320>_,

in vain
<07723>

shalt thou make thyself fair
<03302> (8691)_;

[thy] lovers
<05689> (8802)

will despise
<03988> (8804)

thee, they will seek
<01245> (8762)

thy life
<05315>_.

{face: Heb. eyes}

4:31

For I have heard
<08085> (8804)

a voice
<06963>

as of a woman in travail
<02470> (8802)_,

[and] the anguish
<06869>

as of her that bringeth forth her first child
<01069> (8688)_,

the voice
<06963>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_,

[that] bewaileth
<03306> (8691)

herself, [that] spreadeth
<06566> (8762)

her hands
<03709>_,

[saying], Woe
<0188>

[is] me now! for my soul
<05315>

is wearied
<05888> (8804)

because of murderers
<02026> (8802)_.

5:1

Run ye to and fro
<07751> (8786)

through the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)

now, and know
<03045> (8798)_,

and seek
<01245> (8761)

in the broad places
<07339>

thereof, if ye can find
<04672> (8799)

a man
<0376>_,

if there be
<03426>

[any] that executeth
<06213> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

that seeketh
<01245> (8764)

the truth
<0530>_;

and I will pardon
<05545> (8799)

it.

5:2

And though they say
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_;

surely they swear
<07650> (8735)

falsely
<08267>_.

5:3

O LORD
<03068>_,

[are] not thine eyes
<05869>

upon the truth
<0530>_?

thou hast stricken
<05221> (8689)

them, but they have not grieved
<02342> (8804)_;

thou hast consumed
<03615> (8765)

them, [but] they have refused
<03985> (8765)

to receive
<03947> (8800)

correction
<04148>_:

they have made their faces
<06440>

harder
<02388> (8765)

than a rock
<05553>_;

they have refused
<03985> (8765)

to return
<07725> (8800)_.

5:4

Therefore I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely these [are] poor
<01800>_;

they are foolish
<02973> (8738)_:

for they know
<03045> (8804)

not the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[nor] the judgment
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_.

5:5

I will get
<03212> (8799)

me unto the great men
<01419>_,

and will speak
<01696> (8762)

unto them; for they have known
<03045> (8804)

the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

[and] the judgment
<04941>

of their God
<0430>_:

but these have altogether
<03162>

broken
<07665> (8804)

the yoke
<05923>_,

[and] burst
<05423> (8765)

the bonds
<04147>_.

5:6

Wherefore a lion
<0738>

out of the forest
<03293>

shall slay
<05221> (8689)

them, [and] a wolf
<02061>

of the evenings
<06160>

shall spoil
<07703> (8799)

them, a leopard
<05246>

shall watch
<08245> (8802)

over their cities
<05892>_:

every one that goeth out
<03318> (8802)

thence shall
<02007>

be torn in pieces
<02963> (8735)_:

because their transgressions
<06588>

are many
<07231> (8804)_,

[and] their backslidings
<04878>

are increased
<06105> (8804)_.

{evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong}

5:7

How
<0335>

shall I pardon
<05545> (8799)

thee for this
<02063>_?

thy children
<01121>

have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and sworn
<07650> (8735)

by [them that are] no
<03808>

gods
<0430>_:

when I had fed them to the full
<07650> (8686)_,

they then committed adultery
<05003> (8799)_,

and assembled themselves by troops
<01413> (8704)

in the harlots
<02181> (8802)_'

houses
<01004>_.

5:8

They were [as] fed
<02109> (8716)

horses
<05483>

in the morning
<07904> (8688)_:

every one
<0376>

neighed
<06670> (8799)

after his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_.

5:9

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

and shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

5:10

Go ye up
<05927> (8798)

upon her walls
<08284>_,

and destroy
<07843> (8761)_;

but make
<06213> (8799)

not a full end
<03617>_:

take away
<05493> (8685)

her battlements
<05189>_;

for they [are] not the LORD'S
<03068>_.

5:11

For the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

have dealt very
<0898> (8800)

treacherously
<0898> (8804)

against me, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

5:12

They have belied
<03584> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] not he; neither shall evil
<07451>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon us; neither shall we see
<07200> (8799)

sword
<02719>

nor famine
<07458>_:

5:13

And the prophets
<05030>

shall become wind
<07307>_,

and the word
<01696> (8763)

[is] not in them: thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto them.

5:14

Wherefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

Because ye speak
<01696> (8763)

this word
<01697>_,

behold, I will make
<05414> (8802)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>

fire
<0784>_,

and this people
<05971>

wood
<06086>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

them.

5:15

Lo, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

a nation
<01471>

upon you from far
<04801>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

it [is] a mighty
<0386>

nation
<01471>_,

it [is] an ancient
<05769>

nation
<01471>_,

a nation
<01471>

whose language
<03956>

thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not, neither understandest
<08085> (8799)

what they say
<01696> (8762)_.

5:16

Their quiver
<0827>

[is] as an open
<06605> (8803)

sepulchre
<06913>_,

they [are] all mighty men
<01368>_.

5:17

And they shall eat up
<0398> (8804)

thine harvest
<07105>_,

and thy bread
<03899>_,

[which] thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

should eat
<0398> (8799)_:

they shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

thy flocks
<06629>

and thine herds
<01241>_:

they shall eat up
<0398> (8799)

thy vines
<01612>

and thy fig trees
<08384>_:

they shall impoverish
<07567> (8779)

thy fenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>_,

wherein thou
<02007>

trustedst
<0982> (8802)_,

with the sword
<02719>_.

5:18

Nevertheless in those days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will not make
<06213> (8799)

a full end
<03617>

with you.

5:19

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore
<08478> <04100>

doeth
<06213> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer
<0559> (8804)

them, Like as ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and served
<05647> (8799)

strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>

in your land
<0776>_,

so shall ye serve
<05647> (8799)

strangers
<02114> (8801)

in a land
<0776>

[that is] not yours.

5:20

Declare
<05046> (8685)

this in the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and publish
<08085> (8685)

it in Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

5:21

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now this, O foolish
<05530>

people
<05971>_,

and without understanding
<03820>_;

which have eyes
<05869>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)

not; which have ears
<0241>_,

and hear
<08085> (8799)

not: {understanding: Heb. heart}

5:22

Fear
<03372> (8799)

ye not me? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

will ye not tremble
<02342> (8799)

at my presence
<06440>_,

which have placed
<07760> (8804)

the sand
<02344>

[for] the bound
<01366>

of the sea
<03220>

by a perpetual
<05769>

decree
<02706>_,

that it cannot pass
<05674> (8799)

it: and though the waves
<01530>

thereof toss
<01607> (8691)

themselves, yet can they not prevail
<03201> (8799)_;

though they roar
<01993> (8804)_,

yet can they not pass over
<05674> (8799)

it?

5:23

But this people
<05971>

hath a revolting
<05637> (8802)

and a rebellious
<04784> (8802)

heart
<03820>_;

they are revolted
<05493> (8804)

and gone
<03212> (8799)_.

5:24

Neither say
<0559> (8804)

they in their heart
<03824>_,

Let us now fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

that giveth
<05414> (8802)

rain
<01653>_,

both the former
<03138>

and the latter
<04456>_,

in his season
<06256>_:

he reserveth
<08104> (8799)

unto us the appointed
<02708>

weeks
<07620>

of the harvest
<07105>_.

5:25

Your iniquities
<05771>

have turned away
<05186> (8689)

these [things], and your sins
<02403>

have withholden
<04513> (8804)

good
<02896>

[things] from you.

5:26

For among my people
<05971>

are found
<04672> (8738)

wicked
<07563>

[men]: they lay wait
<07789> (8799)_,

as he that setteth
<07918> (8800)

snares
<03353>_;

they set
<05324> (8689)

a trap
<04889>_,

they catch
<03920> (8799)

men
<0582>_.

{they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait}

5:27

As a cage
<03619>

is full
<04392>

of birds
<05775>_,

so [are] their houses
<01004>

full
<04392>

of deceit
<04820>_:

therefore they are become great
<01431> (8804)_,

and waxen rich
<06238> (8686)_.

{cage: or, coop}

5:28

They are waxen fat
<08080> (8804)_,

they shine
<06245> (8804)_:

yea, they overpass
<05674> (8804)

the deeds
<01697>

of the wicked
<07451>_:

they judge
<01777> (8804)

not the cause
<01779>_,

the cause of the fatherless
<03490>_,

yet they prosper
<06743> (8686)_;

and the right
<04941>

of the needy
<034>

do they not judge
<08199> (8804)_.

5:29

Shall I not visit
<06485> (8799)

for these [things]? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall not my soul
<05315>

be avenged
<05358> (8691)

on such a nation
<01471>

as this?

5:30

A wonderful
<08047>

and horrible thing
<08186>

is committed
<01961> (8738)

in the land
<0776>_;

{A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness}

5:31

The prophets
<05030>

prophesy
<05012> (8738)

falsely
<08267>_,

and the priests
<03548>

bear rule
<07287> (8799)

by their means
<03027>_;

and my people
<05971>

love
<0157> (8804)

[to have it] so: and what will ye do
<06213> (8799)

in the end
<0319>

thereof? {bear...: or, take into their hands}

6:1

O ye children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

gather yourselves to flee
<05756> (8685)

out of the midst
<07130>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and blow
<08628> (8798)

the trumpet
<07782>

in Tekoa
<08620>_,

and set up
<05375> (8798)

a sign
<04864>

of fire in Bethhaccerem
<01021>_:

for evil
<07451>

appeareth
<08259> (8738)

out of the north
<06828>_,

and great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

6:2

I have likened
<01820> (8804)

the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>

to a comely
<05116>

and delicate
<06026> (8794)

[woman]. {comely: or, dwelling at home}

6:3

The shepherds
<07462> (8802)

with their flocks
<05739>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto her; they shall pitch
<08628> (8804)

[their] tents
<0168>

against her round about
<05439>_;

they shall feed
<07462> (8804)

every one
<0376>

in his place
<03027>_.

6:4

Prepare
<06942> (8761)

ye war
<04421>

against her; arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us go up
<05927> (8799)

at noon
<06672>_.

Woe
<0188>

unto us! for the day
<03117>

goeth away
<06437> (8804)_,

for the shadows
<06752>

of the evening
<06153>

are stretched out
<05186> (8735)_.

6:5

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and let us go
<05927> (8799)

by night
<03915>_,

and let us destroy
<07843> (8686)

her palaces
<0759>_.

6:6

For thus hath the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Hew ye down
<03772> (8798)

trees
<06097>_,

and cast
<08210> (8798)

a mount
<05550>

against Jerusalem
<03389>_:

this [is] the city
<05892>

to be visited
<06485> (8717)_;

she [is] wholly oppression
<06233>

in the midst
<07130>

of her. {cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot}

6:7

As a fountain
<0953>

casteth out
<06979> (8687)

her waters
<04325>_,

so she casteth out
<06979> (8689)

her wickedness
<07451>_:

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>

is heard
<08085> (8735)

in her; before me
<06440>

continually
<08548>

[is] grief
<02483>

and wounds
<04347>_.

6:8

Be thou instructed
<03256> (8734)_,

O Jerusalem
<03389>_,

lest my soul
<05315>

depart
<03363> (8799)

from thee; lest I make
<07760> (8799)

thee desolate
<08077>_,

a land
<0776>

not inhabited
<03427> (8738)_.

{depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed}

6:9

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

They shall throughly
<05953> (8780)

glean
<05953> (8779)

the remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>

as a vine
<01612>_:

turn back
<07725> (8685)

thine hand
<03027>

as a grapegatherer
<01219> (8802)

into the baskets
<05552>_.

6:10

To whom shall I speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and give warning
<05749> (8686)_,

that they may hear
<08085> (8799)_?

behold, their ear
<0241>

[is] uncircumcised
<06189>_,

and they cannot
<03201> (8799)

hearken
<07181> (8687)_:

behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

is unto them a reproach
<02781>_;

they have no delight
<02654> (8799)

in it.

6:11

Therefore I am full
<04392>

of the fury
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

I am weary
<03811> (8738)

with holding in
<03557> (8687)_:

I will pour it out
<08210> (8800)

upon the children
<05768>

abroad
<02351>_,

and upon the assembly
<05475>

of young men
<0970>

together
<03162>_:

for even the husband
<0376>

with the wife
<0802>

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_,

the aged
<02205>

with [him that is] full
<04390> (8804)

of days
<03117>_.

6:12

And their houses
<01004>

shall be turned
<05437> (8738)

unto others
<0312>_,

[with their] fields
<07704>

and wives
<0802>

together
<03162>_:

for I will stretch out
<05186> (8686)

my hand
<03027>

upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:13

For from the least
<06996>

of them even unto the greatest
<01419>

of them every one [is] given
<01214> (8802)

to covetousness
<01215>_;

and from the prophet
<05030>

even unto the priest
<03548>

every one dealeth
<06213> (8802)

falsely
<08267>_.

6:14

They have healed
<07495> (8762)

also the hurt
<07667>

[of the daughter
<01323> (8676)_]

of my people
<05971>

slightly
<07043> (8738)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Peace
<07965>_,

peace
<07965>_;

when [there is] no peace
<07965>_.

{hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}

6:15

Were they ashamed
<03001> (8689)

when they had committed
<06213> (8804)

abomination
<08441>_?

nay
<01571>_,

they were not at all
<0954> (8800)

ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither
<01571>

could
<03045> (8804)

they blush
<03637> (8687)_:

therefore they shall fall
<05307> (8799)

among them that fall
<05307> (8802)_:

at the time
<06256>

[that] I visit
<06485> (8804)

them they shall be cast down
<03782> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:16

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Stand
<05975> (8798)

ye in the ways
<01870>_,

and see
<07200> (8799)_,

and ask
<07592> (8798)

for the old
<05769>

paths
<05410>_,

where [is] the good
<02896>

way
<01870>_,

and walk
<03212> (8799)

therein, and ye shall find
<04672> (8798)

rest
<04771>

for your souls
<05315>_.

But they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not walk
<03212> (8798)

[therein].

6:17

Also I set
<06965> (8689)

watchmen
<06822> (8802)

over you, [saying], Hearken
<07181> (8685)

to the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_.

But they said
<0559> (8799)_,

We will not hearken
<07181> (8686)_.

6:18

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)_,

ye nations
<01471>_,

and know
<03045> (8798)_,

O congregation
<05712>_,

what [is] among them.

6:19

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

O earth
<0776>_:

behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon this people
<05971>_,

[even] the fruit
<06529>

of their thoughts
<04284>_,

because they have not hearkened
<07181> (8689)

unto my words
<01697>_,

nor to my law
<08451>_,

but rejected
<03988> (8799)

it.

6:20

To what purpose cometh
<0935> (8799)

there to me incense
<03828>

from Sheba
<07614>_,

and the sweet
<02896>

cane
<07070>

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_?

your burnt offerings
<05930>

[are] not acceptable
<07522>_,

nor your sacrifices
<02077>

sweet
<06149> (8804)

unto me.

6:21

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will lay
<05414> (8802)

stumblingblocks
<04383>

before this people
<05971>_,

and the fathers
<01>

and the sons
<01121>

together
<03162>

shall fall
<03782> (8804)

upon them; the neighbour
<07934>

and his friend
<07453>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_.

6:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, a people
<05971>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

from the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

and a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>

shall be raised
<05782> (8735)

from the sides
<03411>

of the earth
<0776>_.

6:23

They shall lay hold
<02388> (8686)

on bow
<07198>

and spear
<03591>_;

they [are] cruel
<0394>_,

and have no mercy
<07355> (8762)_;

their voice
<06963>

roareth
<01993> (8799)

like the sea
<03220>_;

and they ride
<07392> (8799)

upon horses
<05483>_,

set in array
<06186> (8803)

as men
<0376>

for war
<04421>

against thee, O daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

6:24

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08089>

thereof: our hands
<03027>

wax feeble
<07503> (8804)_:

anguish
<06869>

hath taken hold
<02388> (8689)

of us, [and] pain
<02427>_,

as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.

6:25

Go not forth
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_,

nor walk
<03212> (8799)

by the way
<01870>_;

for the sword
<02719>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)

[and] fear
<04032>

[is] on every side
<05439>_.

6:26

O daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_,

gird
<02296> (8798)

[thee] with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and wallow
<06428> (8690)

thyself in ashes
<0665>_:

make
<06213> (8798)

thee mourning
<060>_,

[as for] an only son
<03173>_,

most bitter
<08563>

lamentation
<04553>_:

for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

shall suddenly
<06597>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon us.

6:27

I have set
<05414> (8804)

thee [for] a tower
<0969>

[and] a fortress
<04013>

among my people
<05971>_,

that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)

and try
<0974> (8804)

their way
<01870>_.

6:28

They [are] all grievous
<05493> (8802)

revolters
<05637> (8802)_,

walking
<01980> (8802)

with slanders
<07400>_:

[they are] brass
<05178>

and iron
<01270>_;

they [are] all corrupters
<07843> (8688)_.

6:29

The bellows
<04647>

are burned
<02787> (8738)_,

the lead
<05777>

is consumed
<08552> (8804)

of the fire
<0800> <0784>_;

the founder
<06884> (8800)

melteth
<06884> (8804)

in vain
<07723>_:

for the wicked
<07451>

are not plucked away
<05423> (8738)_.

6:30

Reprobate
<03988> (8737)

silver
<03701>

shall [men] call
<07121> (8804)

them, because the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8804)

them. {Reprobate...: or, Refuse silver}
