Then the
LORD
said to
me :
“Even
if
Moses and Samuel should
stand
before Me, My heart
would not go
out
to
this people .
Send
them from
My presence
, and let them go.
Then said Jehovah
unto
me ,
Though
Moses and Samuel stood
before me, yet
my mind
would not be
toward
this people :
cast
them out
of
my sight
, and let them go forth
.
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. ’
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
they say
unto
thee
, Whither
shall we go forth
? then
thou
shalt
tell them ,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: 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 captivity, to captivity.
I will appoint over them four kinds of
destroyers
, declares
the
LORD
: the sword to kill
, the dogs to drag
away
, and the birds of the air
and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
And
I will appoint over them four kinds, saith
Jehovah
: the sword to slay
, and
the dogs to tear
, and the birds of the heavens,
and the
beasts of the earth ,
to devour and to
destroy.
I will make
them a
horror
to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what
Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
And
I will cause
them to be
tossed
to
and
fro
among
all the kingdoms of the earth ,
because of Manasseh ,
the
son of Hezekiah ,
king of Judah ,
for
that
which
he
did in Jerusalem.
Who will have pity on
you
, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn
for
you
? Who will turn aside to ask about
your
welfare?
For
who will have pity upon
thee
, O Jerusalem? or
who will bemoan
thee
? or
who will turn aside to ask of
thy
welfare?
You
have
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
.
Thou
hast
rejected
me, saith
Jehovah,
thou
art
gone
backward:
therefore
have I stretched
out my hand against thee,
and destroyed
thee
; I am weary with
repenting
.
I will
scatter
them with a winnowing
fork
at
the gates of the land .
I will
bereave
and
destroy
My people who
have
not turned
from their ways.
And
I have
winnowed
them with a fan
in
the gates of the land ;
I have
bereaved
`them'
of
children,
I
have
destroyed
my people ;
they
returned
not from their ways.
I
will
make
their widows more
numerous
than
the sand of the sea.
I will
bring
a
destroyer
at
noon
against the mothers
of young men .
I will
suddenly
bring
upon
them
anguish and dismay
.
Their widows are
increased
to
me
above
the sand of the seas;
I have
brought
upon
them
against the mother
of the
young men a
destroyer
at
noonday:
I have
caused
anguish and terrors
to
fall
upon
her
suddenly
.
The
mother
of
seven will
grow
faint
; she will
breathe
her
last
breath.
Her sun will
set
while it is
still
day; she will
be
disgraced
and humiliated.
And the rest
I
will put
to the sword in
the
presence
of
their enemies, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
She
that
hath
borne
seven languisheth
; she hath
given
up
the
ghost;
her sun is
gone
down
while it was
yet
day; she hath
been
put
to
shame
and confounded:
and the residue
of
them
will I
deliver
to the sword before
their enemies, saith
Jehovah
.
Woe to
me, my mother, that you
have
borne me ,
a man of strife and conflict
in
all
the land.
I have neither
lent nor
borrowed
, yet everyone
curses
me.
Woe is
me, my mother, that thou
hast
borne me a man of strife and a
man
of
contention
to
the whole
earth!
I have not
lent, neither
have
men
lent
to
me;
`
yet '
every
one
of
them
doth
curse
me.
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
.
Jehovah
said ,
Verily
I will strengthen
thee
for good; verily
I will cause
the
enemy to
make
supplication
unto
thee
in the
time of evil
and
in the
time of affliction
.
Can anyone
smash
iron —
iron from the north —or
bronze
?
Can one
break
iron ,
even
iron from the north ,
and
brass
?
Your
wealth
and your
treasures I
will give up
as
plunder,
without charge
for all your
sins within
all your
borders.
Thy
substance
and thy
treasures will I
give for
a
spoil
without price,
and
that
for all thy
sins ,
even
in
all thy
borders.
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
`them'
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.
You
understand,
O LORD
; remember me and attend
to
me .
Avenge me against
my persecutors .
In
Your
patience,
do
not
take me away .
Know that I endure
reproach for
Your
honor
.
O Jehovah,
thou
knowest
; remember me ,
and visit
me ,
and
avenge me of
my persecutors ;
take me not
away in
thy
longsuffering:
know that for
thy
sake
I have
suffered
reproach.
Your
words were found, and I ate
them .
Your
words became
my
joy and my heart’s
delight.
For I bear
Your
name, O LORD
God of Hosts.
Thy
words were found, and I did
eat
them ;
and
thy
words were
unto
me
a
joy and the
rejoicing
of
my heart:
for I am
called
by
thy
name, O Jehovah,
God of hosts.
I never
sat with
the band
of revelers,
nor
did
I
celebrate
with
them .
Because
Your
hand
was
on
me
, I sat alone ,
for You
have
filled me with indignation.
I sat not
in
the assembly
of them that
make
merry
, nor
rejoiced;
I sat alone because
of
thy
hand;
for thou
hast
filled me with indignation.
Why is my pain unending
, and my wound incurable, refusing
to be healed? You
have
indeed become
like
a
mirage
to
me —
water
that is
not
there.
Why is my pain perpetual
, and my wound incurable, which
refuseth
to be healed? wilt
thou
indeed be
unto
me as
a
deceitful
`brook',
as
waters
that fail?
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
“
If you
return, I
will
restore
you;
you
will stand in
My
presence.
And if you
speak
words
that
are
noble
instead
of
worthless
, you
will
be My spokesman.
It
is
they who
must
turn
to
you
, but you
must
not turn
to
them.
Therefore thus
saith
Jehovah,
If thou
return, then
will I
bring
thee
again,
that
thou
mayest
stand before
me;
and if thou
take
forth
the
precious
from
the
vile
, thou
shalt
be as
my mouth:
they shall
return
unto
thee
, but thou
shalt
not return
unto
them.
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
.
And
I will make thee
unto
this people a fortified brazen
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
Jehovah
.
I will deliver you
from
the hand of the wicked and redeem you
from
the grasp
of the ruthless
. ”
And
I will deliver thee
out
of
the hand of the wicked ,
and I
will
redeem thee
out
of
the hand
of the terrible
.
