Berean Standard Bible
The word of the LORD came also
unto
me, saying,
Then
the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
Thou
shalt
not take
thee
a
wife,
neither
shalt
thou
have sons or daughters in this place.
“You
must
not marry
or
have sons or daughters in this place. ”
For thus
saith
the LORD concerning the sons and concerning
the
daughters that
are
born in this place, and concerning
their
mothers that
bare
them, and concerning
their
fathers that
begat
them in this land ;
For this
is
what
the LORD says
concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the
mothers who
bore
them, and the
fathers who
fathered
them in this land :
They shall
die of
grievous
deaths;
they shall
not be lamented;
neither
shall
they
be
buried ;
but they
shall
be
as
dung upon
the
face
of
the earth:
and
they shall
be consumed
by the
sword ,
and by
famine ;
and their carcases
shall
be
meat
for the fowls
of heaven,
and
for
the beasts of the earth.
“
They will
die from
deadly
diseases.
They will
not be mourned
or
buried ,
but will
lie
like
dung on
the ground.
They will
be finished
off
by sword and famine ,
and their corpses
will
become
food
for the birds
of the air
and
beasts of the earth. ”
For
thus
saith
the LORD ,
Enter
not into
the
house of
mourning,
neither
go to lament
nor
bemoan
them:
for I have taken
away
my
peace
from this people, saith
the
LORD
, even
lovingkindness
and mercies
.
Indeed,
this
is
what
the LORD says:
“Do
not enter
a
house where
there
is
a
funeral
meal.
Do
not
go to mourn
or
show
sympathy,
for I have removed
from this people My
peace
, My
loving
devotion
, and My
compassion,”
declares
the
LORD
.
Both the
great and the
small shall
die in this land :
they shall
not be buried ,
neither
shall
men
lament
for
them
, nor cut themselves,
nor
make
themselves
bald
for them :
“
Both great and small will
die in this land .
They will
not be buried or
mourned
, nor will
anyone
cut himself
or
shave
his
head
for them .
Neither
shall
men
tear
themselves
for
them
in
mourning,
to comfort them
for
the dead; neither
shall
men
give
them
the
cup of consolation to
drink
for their
father or for
their
mother.
No
food
will
be
offered
to comfort those
who
mourn
the dead; not
even
a
cup of consolation will
be
given
for the
loss
of
a
father or mother.
Thou
shalt
not also
go
into
the
house of
feasting ,
to
sit with them to eat and to
drink.
You
must
not enter
a
house where
there
is
feasting and
sit down
with them to eat and drink.
For thus
saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel ;
Behold
, I will
cause
to cease
out
of
this place in
your eyes ,
and in your days, the voice
of mirth,
and the
voice
of
gladness, the voice
of
the
bridegroom,
and
the
voice
of the bride.
For this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:
I am
going
to remove
from
this place ,
before
your very
eyes and in your days, the sounds
of joy
and gladness, the voices
of the bride and
bridegroom
.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when thou
shalt
shew
this
people all these words
, and
they shall
say
unto
thee
, Wherefore
hath
the LORD pronounced all this great evil
against us? or
what is our iniquity
? or
what is our
sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
When you
tell
these
people all these things
, they will
ask
you
, ‘Why
has
the LORD pronounced all this great disaster
against us? What is our guilt
? What is the
sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? ’
Then shalt
thou
say
unto
them ,
Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith
the LORD, and have
walked
after
other gods, and have
served them,
and have
worshipped
them ,
and
have
forsaken
me ,
and have
not kept
my law;
Then you
are
to
answer
them :
‘It
is
because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares
the LORD, and followed
other gods, and served and worshiped
them .
They
abandoned
Me and did
not keep
My instruction.
And ye
have done worse
than your fathers ;
for,
behold,
ye
walk
every
one
after
the imagination
of his evil heart ,
that
they
may
not
hearken
unto
me :
And you
have done more
evil
than your fathers .
See
how
each
of
you
follows
the stubbornness
of his evil heart instead
of
obeying
Me .
Therefore
will
I cast you out of this land into a land that ye
know
not,
neither ye
nor your fathers ;
and
there shall
ye
serve other gods day and night ;
where
I will not
shew
you favour
.
So
I will
cast you out of this land into a land that neither you
nor your fathers have
known.
There you
will
serve other gods day and night ,
for
I will show
you no
favor
. ’
Therefore,
behold, the days come
, saith
the LORD, that
it
shall
no more
be
said
, The LORD liveth
, that
brought up
the children
of
Israel
out of the land of Egypt ;
Yet
behold, the days are
coming
, declares
the LORD, when
they
will
no longer
say
, ‘As
surely
as
the LORD lives
, who
brought the Israelites
up
out of the land of Egypt .’
But
, The LORD liveth
, that
brought up
the children
of Israel
from
the land of the north ,
and from
all the lands whither
he had driven
them :
and
I will bring
them again
into
their land that I gave unto
their fathers
.
Instead
they
will
say
, ‘As
surely
as
the LORD lives
, who
brought the Israelites
up
out
of the land of the north and all the other
lands to
which
He had banished
them .’
For
I will return
them to
their land that I gave to
their forefathers
.
Behold,
I will send for many fishers
, saith
the LORD, and they shall
fish
them ;
and
after will
I send for many hunters, and they shall
hunt them from
every mountain ,
and from
every
hill, and
out
of
the holes
of the rocks.
But
for
now
I will send for many fishermen
, declares
the LORD, and they will
catch
them .
After that
I will
send for many hunters, and they will
hunt them down
on
every mountain and hill, even
from
the clefts
of the rocks.
For mine
eyes are upon
all their ways :
they are not hid
from my face, neither
is
their iniquity
hid
from mine
eyes.
For My
eyes are on
all their ways .
They are not hidden
from My face, and
their guilt
is
not
concealed
from My
eyes.
And first
I will recompense
their iniquity and their sin double;
because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine
inheritance with the
carcases
of
their detestable
and
abominable
things
.
And I will first
repay
them
double
their iniquity and their sin ,
because they have defiled My land with
the
carcasses
of
their
detestable
idols
, and
they have filled My
inheritance with their abominations
. ”
O LORD, my strength ,
and my fortress, and
my refuge in the day of affliction
, the Gentiles
shall
come unto
thee
from the ends of the earth, and shall
say, Surely
our fathers have
inherited lies, vanity,
and
things
wherein
there
is
no profit
.
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress
, the nations
will
come to
You
from the ends of the earth, and they
will
say, “
Our fathers inherited nothing
but
lies, worthless
idols
of
no benefit
at
all
.
Shall
a
man make gods unto
himself ,
and
they
are no
gods ?
Can
man make gods for
himself ?
Such
are not
gods !”
Therefore ,
behold, I will this
once
cause
them to
know
, I will cause
them to
know mine
hand
and my might; and
they shall
know that my name is The LORD.
“
Therefore behold, I will inform
them, and
this
time
I will make
them know My
power
and My might; then
they will
know that My name is the LORD.
