King James Version
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
the LORD unto
me ,
Though
Moses and Samuel stood
before me, yet
my mind
could
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,
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.
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
the LORD: the sword to slay
, and
the dogs to tear
, and the fowls
of the heaven,
and the
beasts of the earth ,
to devour and 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
removed
into
all 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 shall
have pity upon
thee
, O Jerusalem? or
who shall
bemoan
thee
? or
who shall
go
aside to ask how
thou
doest
?
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
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
.
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 will fan
them with a fan
in
the gates of the land ;
I will bereave them
of
children,
I
will
destroy my people since
they
return
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
spoiler
at
noonday:
I have
caused
him
to
fall
upon it
suddenly,
and terrors
upon
the
city
.
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
ashamed
and confounded:
and the residue
of
them
will I
deliver
to the sword before
their enemies, saith
the LORD.
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 neither lent on
usury
, nor
men
have
lent
to
me
on
usury;
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
.
The LORD said ,
Verily
it
shall
be
well
with
thy
remnant
; verily
I will cause
the
enemy to
entreat
thee
well
in the
time of evil
and
in the
time of affliction
.
Can
anyone
smash
iron —
iron from
the north—or
bronze
?
Shall
iron break
the
northern
iron and
the steel
?
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 to
the
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
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.
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 LORD ,
thou
knowest:
remember me ,
and visit
me ,
and
revenge
me of
my persecutors ;
take me not
away in
thy
longsuffering:
know that for thy
sake
I
have
suffered
rebuke
.
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
word
was
unto
me
the
joy and rejoicing
of
mine
heart:
for I am
called
by
thy
name, O LORD 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 the
mockers
, 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
be
altogether
unto
me as
a
liar,
and
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
the LORD ,
If thou
return, then
will I
bring
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.
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 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.
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
.
