be
unto
the
pastors
that
destroy
and scatter
the sheep
of my pasture !
saith
the
LORD
.
Wo
to
shepherds
destroying,
And scattering
the flock
of My pasture ,

affirmation

Jehovah

the
LORD
God of Israel against the pastors
that
feed my people ;
Ye have scattered my flock, and driven
them away, and have not visited
them :
behold
, I will
visit
upon
you the evil of your doings, saith
the
LORD
.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
Against the shepherds
who
feed My people ,
Ye have scattered My flock, and drive
them away, And have not inspected
them, Lo,
I am
charging
on
you the evil of your doings, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
And I will
gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries
whither I have
driven
them, and will
bring
them again
to
their folds;
and they shall
be
fruitful and increase
.
And I do
gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the
lands
whither I drove
them, And have
brought
them back
unto
their fold,
And they have
been
fruitful ,
and multiplied
.
And I will
set
up
shepherds
over
them which
shall
feed
them :
and they shall
fear no more, nor be
dismayed
, neither
shall
they be
lacking ,
saith
the
LORD
.
And I have
raised
for
them shepherds,
And
they
have
fed
them ,
And they fear no more, nor are
affrighted
, Nor
are
they lacking --

affirmation

Jehovah

Behold
, the
days come,
saith
the
LORD
, that
I will
raise
unto
David a righteous Branch
, and a King shall
reign
and prosper
, and shall
execute
judgment and justice
in the earth.
Lo
, days are
coming

an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have
raised
to
David a righteous shoot
, And a king hath
reigned
and acted
wisely
, And done
judgment and righteousness
in the earth.
In his days Judah shall
be
saved, and Israel shall
dwell
safely:
and this is
his name whereby
he
shall
be
called
, THE
LORD
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
In his days is
Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth
confidently,
And this his name that
Jehovah
proclaimeth
him
, `
Our Righteousness. '
Therefore, behold
, the
days come
, saith
the
LORD
, that
they shall
no
more
say, The
LORD
liveth ,
which
brought up the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt ;
Therefore, lo
, days are
coming
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
they do
not
say any
more
, Jehovah
liveth who
brought up The sons
of Israel out of the land of Egypt ,
But ,
The
LORD
liveth, which
brought up and which
led
the seed of the house of Israel out
of the north country
, and from all countries
whither I had
driven
them ;
and they shall
dwell
in
their own land.
But --
Jehovah
liveth, who
brought up ,
And who
brought
in,
the seed of the house of Israel ,
From
the
land
of the north, And from all the
lands
whither I drove
them ,
And they have
dwelt
on
their own ground!
Mine
heart
within
me
is
broken
because
of
the prophets ;
all my bones shake;
I am
like
a drunken
man, and like
a man whom
wine hath overcome
, because of the
LORD
, and because
of the
words
of
his holiness
.
In
reference
to
the prophets :
Broken
hath
been
my
heart
in
my
midst,
Fluttered
have
all my bones ,
I have
been
as
a man --
a
drunkard
, And as
a man --
wine hath passed
over
him
, Because of Jehovah
, and of His holy
words
.
For the land is
full of
adulterers;
for because of swearing
the land mourneth;
the pleasant places of the wilderness are
dried
up
, and their course is evil, and their force
is
not right.
For of
adulterers
hath
the land been
full ,
For because of these
hath
the land mourned,
Dried
up
hath
been
the pleasant places of the wilderness, And their course is evil, and their might
--
not right.
For both prophet and priest are
profane ;
yea, in my house have
I found their wickedness, saith
the
LORD
.
For both prophet and priest have
been
profane ,
Yea, in My house I found their wickedness, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
Wherefore
their way shall
be
unto
them as slippery ways
in
the
darkness :
they shall
be
driven on
, and fall
therein:
for I will
bring evil
upon
them, even
the year of their visitation
, saith
the
LORD
.
Therefore
is
their way to
them as slippery places,
Into
thick
darkness they are
driven, And they
have
fallen
in
it,
For I bring in
against
them evil
, The year of their inspection
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
And I
have
seen
folly
in the
prophets of Samaria ;
they prophesied in
Baal, and caused
my people Israel to err.
And in prophets of Samaria I
have
seen
folly,
They have
prophesied by
Baal, And cause
my people --
Israel --
to err.
I
have
seen
also
in the
prophets of Jerusalem an
horrible thing :
they
commit
adultery, and walk
in
lies:
they strengthen
also
the hands of evildoers
, that none
doth
return
from his wickedness ;
they are
all of them unto
me
as Sodom, and the
inhabitants thereof
as Gomorrah.
And
in prophets of Jerusalem I
have
seen
a
horrible thing ,
Committing
adultery, and walking
falsely,
Yea,
they strengthened
the hands of evil
doers
, So
that they
have
not
turned
back
Each
from his wickedness ,
They have
been
to
me
--
all of them --
as Sodom, And its
inhabitants as Gomorrah.
Therefore thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts concerning the prophets ;
Behold
, I will
feed
them with
wormwood, and make
them drink the
water of gall :
for from the
prophets of Jerusalem is
profaneness
gone forth into
all the land.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
concerning the prophets :
Lo
, I am
causing
them to
eat
wormwood, And have
caused
them to
drink water of gall ,
For ,
from prophets of Jerusalem Hath
profanity
gone forth to
all the land.
Thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts ,
Hearken
not unto the words of the prophets that
prophesy
unto
you :
they make
you vain :
they
speak
a vision of their own heart, and
not out
of
the mouth of the
LORD
.
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts :
Ye
do
not hearken
unto the words Of the prophets who
are
prophesying
to
you ,
They are
making
you vain things,
A vision of their own heart they
speak
, Not from
the mouth of Jehovah
.
They
say
still
unto
them
that
despise
me,
The LORD
hath
said,
Ye
shall
have
peace ;
and they
say
unto
every one that
walketh
after
the imagination
of his own
heart ,
No
evil shall
come upon
you.
Saying
diligently
to
those
despising
The word
of
Jehovah:
Peace is
for
you,
And `to'
every one walking
in
the stubbornness
of his heart they
have
said:
Evil doth
not
come in
unto
you.
For who hath stood in the counsel of the
LORD
, and hath
perceived
and heard
his word? who hath marked
his
word, and heard
it
?
For who hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah
, And seeth
and heareth
His word? Who hath regarded
My
word, and hearkeneth
?
Behold
, a whirlwind of the
LORD
is
gone
forth
in
fury, even a grievous
whirlwind :
it
shall
fall
grievously
upon
the head of the wicked.
Lo
, a whirlwind of Jehovah
--
Fury hath
gone
out
, even a piercing
whirlwind ,
On
the head of the wicked it
stayeth
.
The anger of the
LORD
shall
not return,
until
he
have
executed
, and till he
have
performed
the thoughts of his heart :
in the latter days ye shall
consider
it perfectly
.
The anger of Jehovah
doth
not turn
back
Till
His
doing
, and till His
establishing,
The thoughts of His heart ,
In the latter end
of
the
days ye attend
to
it With
understanding
.
I have not sent these
prophets, yet
they ran:
I have not spoken to
them, yet
they prophesied.
I have not sent the
prophets, and
they have
run,
I have not spoken unto
them, and
they have
prophesied.
But if they had
stood in my counsel, and
had
caused
my people to hear my words, then
they should
have
turned
them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
But --
if they stood in My counsel, Then
they
cause
My people to hear My words, And
they turn
them back
from their evil way, And from the evil of their doings.
Am
I
a God at
hand,
saith
the
LORD
, and not a God afar off?
A God near
`am'
I
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And not a God afar off?
Can
any hide
himself
in secret places that
I shall
not
see him? saith
the
LORD.
Do not I fill heaven
and earth? saith
the
LORD
.
Is
any one
hidden
in secret places ,
And
I see him not
? an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
Do not I fill the
heavens
and the
earth? An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
I have heard what
the prophets said, that
prophesy lies
in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
I have heard that
which
the prophets said, Who
prophesy in My name falsehood
, saying, `
I have dreamed, I have dreamed. '
How
long
shall
this
be
in the heart of the prophets that
prophesy
lies
? yea, they
are
prophets of the deceit of their own
heart ;
Till
when
is
it
in the heart of the prophets? The
prophets
of
falsehood,
Yea, prophets of the deceit of their heart ,
Which
think
to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which
they tell
every
man
to his neighbour, as their fathers have
forgotten
my name for Baal.
Who
are
devising
to cause My people To forget My name by their dreams ,
That
they recount
each
to his neighbour, As their fathers forgot
my name for Baal.
The prophet that
hath
a dream, let him tell
a
dream ;
and he that
hath
my word, let him speak my word faithfully
. What is
the
chaff
to the wheat?
saith
the LORD
.
The prophet with
whom
`is'
a dream, Let him recount
the
dream ,
And he with
whom
`is'
My word, Let him truly
speak My word. What --
to the straw
with
the corn?
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
Is not my word like
as a fire ?
saith
the
LORD;
and like
a hammer that
breaketh the
rock
in pieces ?
Is it
not thus?
My word `is'
as a fire ,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah.
And as
a hammer --
it
breaketh in pieces a
rock.
Therefore, behold
, I am against the prophets, saith
the
LORD
, that
steal
my words every
one
from his neighbour.
Therefore, lo
, I `
am '
against the prophets, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Stealing
My words each
from his neighbour.
Behold
, I am against the prophets, saith
the
LORD
, that
use
their tongues
, and say,
He
saith
.
Lo
, I `
am '
against the prophets, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Who
are
making
smooth
their tongue
, And they
affirm
--
an
affirmation
.
Behold
, I am against them
that
prophesy
false dreams, saith
the
LORD
, and do
tell
them, and cause my people to err by their lies
, and by their lightness;
yet
I sent them not
, nor commanded them :
therefore
they shall
not profit
this
people
at all, saith
the
LORD
.
Lo
, I `
am '
against the
prophets
of
false dreams, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And they
recount
them, and cause my people to err ,
By their falsehoods
, and by their instability,
And
I --
I
have
not
sent them, Nor have
I
commanded them ,
And
they are
not at all profitable
to
this
people
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall
ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the
LORD
? thou
shalt
then say
unto them ,
What
burden ?
I will
even
forsake
you, saith
the
LORD
.
And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, doth
ask thee, saying, What `
is '
the burden of Jehovah
? Then thou
hast
said
unto them :
Ye
`are'
the
burden ,
and
I have
left
you, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
And as
for
the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall
say
, The burden of the
LORD
, I will
even
punish
that man and his house.
And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That saith
, The burden of Jehovah
, I have
seen
after
that man ,
and after
his house.
Thus shall
ye say every
one
to
his neighbour, and every
one
to
his brother ,
What hath the
LORD
answered? and ,
What hath the
LORD
spoken?
Thus do
ye say each
unto
his neighbour, And each
unto
his brother :
What hath Jehovah
answered? And what hath Jehovah
spoken?
And the burden of the
LORD
shall
ye mention no
more :
for every
man's
word
shall
be
his
burden ;
for
ye have perverted
the words of the living God, of
the
LORD
of hosts our God.
And the burden of Jehovah
ye do
not
mention any
more ,
For the
burden to
each
is
--
His
word,
And
ye have overturned
the words of the living God, Jehovah
of Hosts ,
our God.
Thus shalt
thou say to
the prophet ,
What hath the
LORD
answered thee? and ,
What hath the
LORD
spoken?
Thus dost
thou say unto
the prophet What hath Jehovah
answered thee? And what hath Jehovah
spoken?
But
since
ye
say,
The burden of the
LORD;
therefore thus saith
the
LORD;
Because ye
say
this word, The burden of the
LORD
, and I have
sent
unto you, saying, Ye shall
not say, The burden of the
LORD;
And
if
the burden of Jehovah
ye
say,
Therefore thus said
Jehovah:
Because of
your
saying
this word, The burden of Jehovah
, And I do
send
unto you, saying, Ye do
not say, The burden of Jehovah.
Therefore, behold
, I ,
even
I ,
will
utterly
forget
you, and I will
forsake
you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and
cast
you
out
of
my presence:
Therefore, lo
, I --
I have
taken
you utterly
away
, And I have
sent
you out
, And the city that I gave to
you ,
And to
your fathers, from
before
My face,
And I will
bring
an
everlasting
reproach
upon
you, and a
perpetual
shame ,
which
shall
not be
forgotten .
And I have
put
on
you reproach
age-during
, And shame age-during
that
is
not forgotten !
