Then
the word of the
LORD
came to me, saying,
The word of Yahweh
came also
to me, saying,
“
You must
not marry
or
have sons or daughters in this place. ”
You shall
not take
a
wife,
neither
shall
you
have sons or daughters ,
in this place.
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:
For thus
says Yahweh
concerning the sons and concerning
the
daughters who
are
born in this place, and concerning
their
mothers who bore them, and concerning
their
fathers who became
the
father
of
them in this land:
“
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. ”
They shall
die grievous
deaths:
they shall
not be lamented
, neither
shall
they
be
buried;
they
shall
be
as
dung on the surface
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 sky,
and for
the
animals
of the earth.
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
.
For
thus
says Yahweh,
Don't
enter into
the
house of
mourning,
neither
go to lament
, neither
bemoan
them;
for I have taken
away
my
peace
from this people, says
Yahweh
, even
loving
kindness
and tender
mercies
.
“
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 .
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 ;
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.
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.
You must
not enter
a
house where
there
is
feasting and
sit down
with them to eat and drink.
You shall
not go
into
the
house of
feasting to
sit with them ,
to eat and to
drink.
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.
For thus
says
Yahweh
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
.
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? ’
It
shall
happen,
when you shall
show
this
people all these words
, and
they shall
tell
you, Why has Yahweh
pronounced all this great evil
against us? or
what is our iniquity
? or
what is our
sin that we have committed against Yahweh
our God?
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.
Then shall
you tell
them ,
Because your fathers have forsaken me, says
Yahweh
, and have
walked
after
other gods, and have
served them,
and have
worshiped them ,
and
have
forsaken
me ,
and have
not kept
my law;
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 .
and you have done evil more
than your fathers ;
for,
behold,
you walk
every
one
after
the stubbornness of his evil heart ,
so
that
you
don't
listen
to
me :
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
will I
cast you forth
out of this land into the
land that you
have
not
known,
neither you nor your fathers ;
and
there shall
you serve other gods day and night ;
for I will show you no favor.
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 .’
Therefore,
behold, the days come
, says
Yahweh
, that
it
shall
no more
be
said
, As Yahweh
lives, who brought up the
children
of
Israel
out of the land of Egypt ;
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
.
but
, As Yahweh
lives, who brought up the
children
of Israel
from
the land of the north ,
and from
all the countries
where
he had driven
them. I will bring
them again
into
their land that I gave to their fathers
.
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.
Behold,
I will send for many fishermen, says
Yahweh
, 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.
For My eyes are on all their ways .
They are not hidden from My face, and
their
guilt
is not
concealed from My eyes.
For my eyes are on all their ways ;
they are not hidden from my face, neither
is their
iniquity
concealed from my eyes.
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. ”
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 my inheritance with their abominations.
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
.
Yahweh
, my strength ,
and my stronghold
, and
my refuge in the day of affliction
, to
you
shall
the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall
say, Our fathers have
inherited nothing but lies, [even]
vanity
and
things
in
which
there
is
no profit
.
Can
man make gods
for
himself ?
Such
are not
gods !”
Shall
a
man make to
himself gods,
which
yet
are no
gods ?
“
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
.
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 Yahweh
.
