King James Version
If thou dost
turn
back
, O Israel, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, unto Me turn
back,
And if thou dost
turn
aside
Thine abominations from
My face
, Then thou dost
not bemoan
.
If thou wilt
return
, O Israel, saith
the
LORD
, return
unto me :
and if thou wilt
put
away
thine abominations out
of
my sight
, then shalt
thou not remove
.
And thou hast
sworn
--
Jehovah
liveth, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness ,
And blessed
themselves in Him have
nations
, And in Him they boast
themselves
.
And thou shalt
swear,
The
LORD
liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness ;
and the
nations
shall
bless
themselves in him, and in him shall
they glory
.
For thus said
Jehovah,
To the man
of Judah ,
and to
Jerusalem :
Till
for
yourselves
tillage
, And do
not
sow unto
the
thorns.
For thus saith
the
LORD
to the men
of Judah and Jerusalem, Break
up
your
fallow
ground,
and sow not
among
thorns.
Be
circumcised
to Jehovah
, And turn
aside
the foreskins of your heart, O
man
of Judah ,
and ye
inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
Lest My fury go
out
as
fire, and hath
burned,
And
there
is
none quenching
, Because of the evil of your doings.
Circumcise
yourselves
to the
LORD
, and take
away
the foreskins of your heart, ye
men
of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem :
lest my fury come
forth
like
fire, and burn
that
none can
quench
it
, because of the evil of your doings.
Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound,
And say ye
, `
Blow a
trumpet in the land, '
Call
ye
fully
, and say ye:
`Be
gathered
, and we
go in
to
the fenced
city
. '
Declare ye
in Judah, and publish
in Jerusalem ;
and say, Blow ye
the
trumpet in the land :
cry
, gather
together
, and say, Assemble
yourselves,
and let
us
go into
the defenced
cities
.
Lift
up an
ensign
Zionward,
Strengthen
yourselves
, stand
not still,
For evil
I am
bringing
in
from the north, And a great destruction.
Set
up the
standard
toward
Zion:
retire
, stay
not :

bring
evil
from the north, and a great destruction.
Gone
up
hath
a
lion from his thicket, And a
destroyer of nations
hath
journeyed,

come
forth from his place To make thy land become
a
desolation,
Thy cities are
laid waste, without inhabitant.

lion is

up
from his thicket, and the
destroyer of the
Gentiles
is
on
his
way;

thy cities shall
be
laid waste, without an
inhabitant.

hath
not turned back from us.

with
sackcloth, lament and howl :

And it hath
come to pass ,
in
that day, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah:
`Perish
doth
the heart of the king, And the heart of the princes ,
And astonished
have
been
the priests, And the prophets do
wonder. '
And it shall
come to pass at
that day, saith
the LORD,
that
the
heart of the king shall
perish
, and the heart of the princes ;

be
astonished
, and the prophets shall
wonder.
And
I say
, `
Ah, Lord Jehovah,
Surely thou hast entirely
forgotten
this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is
for
you,
And
struck
hath
a
sword unto the soul !'
Then
said
I, Ah, Lord GOD!
surely thou hast greatly
deceived
this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye
shall
have
peace ;
whereas
the
sword reacheth
unto the soul .
At that time it is
said of
this people ,
And of
Jerusalem :
`
A dry wind of high places in the wilderness ,'
The
way
of
the daughter of My people, (
Not for
winnowing
, nor for
cleansing
, )
At that time shall
it be
said to
this people and to
Jerusalem ,
A dry wind of the
high places in the wilderness toward
the daughter of my people, not to
fan
, nor to
cleanse
,
A full wind from these
doth
come for
Me ,
Now ,
also ,
I speak
judgments
with
them.
Even
a full wind from those
places
shall
come unto
me :
now also will
I give
sentence
against
them.
Lo
, as
clouds
he cometh
up, And as a hurricane
his chariots,
Lighter
than eagles have
been
his
horses,
Wo
to
us ,
for we have
been
spoiled.
Behold
, he shall
come
up as
clouds
, and his
chariots
shall
be
as a whirlwind:
his horses
are
swifter
than eagles .
Woe
unto
us !
for we are
spoiled.
Wash
from
evil
thy
heart,
O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved ,
Till
when
dost
thou
lodge
in
thy heart
Thoughts of
thy
strength
?
O Jerusalem, wash
thine
heart
from
wickedness,
that thou mayest be saved .
How
long
shall
thy vain
thoughts lodge
within
thee
?

declaring
from Dan, And sounding
sorrow
from mount Ephraim.

Make ye mention to the nations ,

ye
to
Jerusalem :

afar
off
, And they
give forth
against cities of Judah their
voice
.

As the
keepers of a field They have
been
against her round about ,

of
Jehovah

As keepers of a field ,

because

me
, saith
the
LORD

This `
is '
thy vexation
, for
`
it is '
bitter, For
it hath
struck
unto thy
heart.
Thy way and thy doings have procured
these things
unto
thee ;
this is thy wickedness
, because
it is bitter, because
it reacheth
unto thine
heart.
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained `
at '
the
walls
of
my heart ,
Make
a noise for
me doth
My
heart,
I am
not
silent
, For
the
voice
of
a
trumpet
I
have
heard, O my soul --
a
shout
of battle!
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very
heart ;
my
heart
maketh
a noise in
me ;
I cannot
hold
my
peace
, because
thou
hast
heard, O my soul ,
the
sound
of the
trumpet,
the
alarm
of
war.
Destruction on
destruction is proclaimed,
For spoiled
hath
been
all
the land ,
Suddenly
spoiled have
been
my tents, In a moment --
my
curtains
.
Destruction upon
destruction is cried;
for the whole
land is
spoiled :
suddenly
are
my tents spoiled
, and
my
curtains
in a moment.
Till
when
do
I see an
ensign?
Do
I
hear the voice
of a
trumpet?
How
long
shall
I see the
standard,
and
hear the sound
of the
trumpet?
For my people `are'
foolish, me
they have not known ,
Foolish
sons
`are'
they ,
yea
, they `
are '
not
intelligent,
Wise `are'
they
to do evil, And
to do good they have not
known
.
For my people is
foolish, they have not known me;
they are
sottish
children
, and
they have
none
understanding:
they
are wise to do evil, but
to do good they have no
knowledge
.
I looked
`to'
the land
, and lo, waste
and void ,
And unto
the heavens, and their
light is
not
.
I beheld
the earth
, and ,
lo, it
was
without
form,
and void ;
and the heavens, and they
had
no
light.
I have
looked
`to'
the mountains, And lo, they are
trembling.
And all the hills moved themselves
lightly.
I beheld
the mountains, and ,
lo, they trembled,
and all the hills moved lightly.
I have
looked
, and lo, man is
not
, And all fowls
of the heavens have
fled.
I beheld
, and ,
lo, there
was
no
man, and all the
birds
of the heavens were
fled.
I have
looked
, and lo, The fruitful place `is'
a wilderness, And all its
cities have
been
broken down ,
Because
of
Jehovah,
Because
of
the fierceness
of His anger.
I beheld
, and ,
lo, the fruitful place was
a wilderness, and all the
cities thereof
were
broken down at
the presence
of the
LORD,
and
by
his fierce
anger.
For thus said Jehovah:
All
the land is
a
desolation,
but
a
completion
I make
not.
For thus hath
the
LORD
said ,
The whole
land shall
be
desolate;
yet
will
I not make
a
full
end
.
For this doth
the land
mourn, And black
have
been
the heavens above ,
because I have spoken --
I have purposed, And I
have
not repented
, Nor
do
I turn back from it.
For this shall
the earth
mourn, and the heavens above be
black;
because I have spoken it,
I have purposed it
, and will
not repent
, neither
will
I turn back from it.
From
the voice
of
the horseman,
And
of him
shooting
with
the bow,
all
the
city
is
fleeing,
They have
come
into thickets, And on
cliffs
they
have
gone
up ,
All
the city is
forsaken, And there
is
no
one
dwelling
in
them
.
The whole
city
shall
flee
for
the noise
of the horsemen
and
bowmen;
they shall
go
into thickets, and climb
up upon
the rocks:
every
city shall
be
forsaken, and not
a
man
dwell
therein
.
And thou ,
O
spoiled one
, what dost
thou? For
thou puttest
on
scarlet
, For
thou adornest
thyself
`
with '
ornaments of gold .
For
thou rendest
with pain
thine
eyes
, In vain thou dost
make thyself fair ,
Kicked
against
thee have
doting
ones
, Thy
life
they do
seek.
And when
thou art
spoiled, what wilt
thou do
? Though
thou clothest
thyself
with
crimson
, though
thou deckest
thee
with ornaments of gold ,
though
thou rentest
thy
face
with painting
, in vain shalt
thou make thyself fair ;
thy
lovers
will
despise
thee, they will
seek thy
life
.
For a voice as of a sick
woman I
have
heard,
Distress
, as of one
bringing
forth a
first -born
, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She
bewaileth herself, she
spreadeth out
her hands, `Wo
to
me now ,
for weary
is
my soul of slayers!'
For I
have
heard
a voice as of a woman in
travail
, and
the
anguish
as of her
that
bringeth
forth her
first child
, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that
bewaileth herself, that
spreadeth her hands, saying,
Woe
is
me now !
for my soul is
wearied
because
of murderers.
