Berean Standard Bible
The word of Jehovah
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
Jehovah
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 grievous
deaths:
they shall
not be lamented,
neither
shall
they
be
buried ;
they
shall
be
as
dung upon
the
face
of
the ground ;
and
they shall
be consumed
by the
sword ,
and by
famine ;
and their dead
bodies
shall
be
food for the birds of the heavens,
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
Jehovah
, Enter
not
into
the house of
mourning,
neither
go to lament
, neither
bemoan
them;
for I have taken
away
my
peace
from this people, saith
Jehovah
, even
lovingkindness
and tender
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 great and 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
break
`bread'
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.
And
thou
shalt
not 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
Jehovah
of hosts, the God of Israel :
Behold
, I will
cause
to cease
out
of
this place, before 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
show
this
people all these words
, and
they shall
say
unto
thee
, Wherefore
hath
Jehovah
pronounced all this great evil
against us? or
what is our iniquity
? or
what is our
sin that we have committed against Jehovah
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
Jehovah
, 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 evil
more than your fathers ;
for,
behold,
ye
walk
every
one
after
the stubbornness of his evil heart ,
so
that
ye
hearken
not
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 forth
out of this land into the
land that ye
have
not
known,
neither ye
nor your fathers ;
and
there shall
ye
serve other gods day and night ;
for I will show you no favor.
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
Jehovah
, that
it
shall
no more
be
said
, As Jehovah
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
, As Jehovah
liveth
, that
brought up
the children
of Israel
from
the land of the north ,
and from
all the countries
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
Jehovah
, and they shall
fish
them up;
and
afterward
I will send for many hunters, and they shall
hunt them from
every mountain ,
and from
every
hill, and
out
of
the clefts 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
concealed 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 polluted
my land with the carcasses of their detestable things
, and have filled mine
inheritance with their abominations.
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 Jehovah
, my strength ,
and my stronghold
, and
my refuge in the day of affliction
, unto
thee
shall
the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall
say, Our fathers have
inherited nought
but lies, `even'
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 unto
himself
gods ,
which
yet
are no
gods ?
Can
man make gods for
himself?
Such
are not
gods !”
Therefore ,
behold, I will cause
them to
know
, this once
will
I cause
them to
know my hand
and my might; and
they shall
know that my name is Jehovah
.
“
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
.
