Berean Standard Bible
Then said Yahweh
to 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
.
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.
It
shall
happen,
when
they tell
you, Where shall we go forth
? then
you shall
tell them ,
Thus
says Yahweh
: 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.
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. ’
I will appoint over them four kinds, says
Yahweh
: the sword to kill, and
the dogs to tear
, and the birds of the sky,
and the
animals
of the earth ,
to devour and to
destroy.
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.
I will cause
them to be
tossed
back
and
forth
among
all the kingdoms of the earth ,
because of Manasseh ,
the
son of Hezekiah ,
king of Judah ,
for
that
which
he
did in Jerusalem.
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.
For
who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? or
who will bemoan
you? or
who will turn aside to ask of
your welfare?
Who will have pity on you, O
Jerusalem? Who will mourn
for
you? Who will turn aside to ask about
your welfare?
You have rejected
me, says
Yahweh,
you are
gone
backward:
therefore
have I stretched
out my hand against you ,
and destroyed
you; I am weary with
repenting
.
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
.
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
didn't
return
from their ways.
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.
Their widows are
increased
to
me
above
the sand of the seas;
I have
brought
on
them
against the mother
of the
young men a
destroyer
at
noonday:
I have
caused
anguish and terrors
to
fall
on
her
suddenly
.
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
.
She
who
has
borne
seven languishes
; she has
given
up
the
spirit;
her sun is
gone
down
while it was
yet
day; she has
been
disappointed
and confounded:
and the residue
of
them
will
I deliver
to the sword before
their enemies, says
Yahweh
.
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
.
Woe is
me, my mother, that you have 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 ]
everyone of
them
does
curse
me.
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.
Yahweh
said ,
Most
assuredly
I will strengthen
you for good; most
assuredly
I will cause
the
enemy to
make
supplication
to
you
in the
time of evil
and
in the
time of affliction
.
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
.
Can one
break
iron ,
even
iron from the north ,
and
brass
?
Can anyone
smash
iron —
iron from the north —or
bronze
?
Your substance
and your treasures will
I give for
a
spoil
without
price
, and
that
for all your sins ,
even
in
all your borders.
Your wealth
and your treasures I will
give up
as
plunder
, without
charge
for all your sins within
all your borders.
I will make
[them]
to pass
with
your enemies into
a land which
you don't
know ;
for a
fire
is
kindled
in
my anger ,
which
shall
burn on
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. ”
Yahweh,
you know
; remember me ,
and visit
me ,
and
avenge me of
my persecutors ;
don't
take me away in
your
longsuffering:
know that for
your
sake
I have
suffered
reproach.
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
.
Your words were found, and I ate them ;
and
your words were
to
me
a
joy and the
rejoicing
of
my heart:
for I am
called
by
your name, Yahweh,
God of hosts.
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.
I didn't
sit
in
the assembly
of those
who
make
merry
, nor rejoiced;
I sat
alone
because of
your hand ;
for you have filled me with indignation.
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.
Why is my pain perpetual
, and my wound incurable, which
refuses
to be healed? will
you indeed be
to me as
a
deceitful
[brook],
as
waters
that fail?
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.
Therefore thus
says Yahweh,
If you return, then
will
I bring
you again,
that
you may
stand before
me;
and if you take
forth
the
precious
from
the
vile
, you shall
be as
my mouth:
they shall
return
to you, but you shall
not return
to them.
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.
I will make you to this people a fortified brazen
wall; and
they shall
fight against you ,
but they
shall
not prevail
against
you ;
for I am with you to save you
and to
deliver you, says
Yahweh
.
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
.
I will deliver you out
of
the hand of the wicked ,
and I
will
redeem you out
of
the hand
of the terrible
.
I will deliver you from
the hand of the wicked and redeem you from
the grasp
of the ruthless
. ”
