, They bring the bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its
princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves ,
At that time, saith
the
LORD
, they shall
bring out
the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his
princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves :
And have
spread them to
sun, and to
moon, And to
all the host of the
heavens
, that
they have loved, And that
they have served, And that
they have walked after
, And that
they have sought, And to
which
they have bowed
themselves,
They are
not gathered, nor buried ,
They are
for dung on
the face of the ground
.
And they
shall
spread them before
the
sun, and the
moon, and all the host of heaven
, whom
they have loved, and whom
they have served, and after
whom
they have walked, and whom
they have sought, and whom
they have worshipped:
they shall
not be
gathered, nor be
buried ;
they shall
be
for dung upon
the face of the earth
.
And chosen
is
death rather than life By all the remnant
who
are
left
of this evil family, In all the remaining
places ,
whither I have driven them, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts.
And death shall
be
chosen
rather than life by all the residue
of them
that
remain
of
this evil family, which
remain
in all the places whither I have driven them, saith
the
LORD
of hosts.
And
thou hast
said
unto them :
Thus
said
Jehovah
, Do
they fall, and not rise
? Doth
he turn back
, and not return?
Moreover
thou shalt
say
unto them, Thus
saith
the
LORD;
Shall
they fall, and not arise
? shall
he turn away
, and not return?
Wherefore
hath
this people of Jerusalem Turned
back --
a perpetual backsliding? They have
kept
hold on
deceit, They have
refused
to turn
back
.
Why
then
is
this people of Jerusalem slidden
back by
a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast
deceit, they refuse
to return
.
I have
given
attention,
yea,
I
hearken
, They do
not speak
right,
No man hath
repented of his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Every one hath
turned to his courses
, As a
horse is
rushing
into battle.
I hearkened
and
heard
, but
they spake
not aright:
no man repented him
of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course
, as the
horse rusheth
into the
battle.
Even
a
stork in the heavens
hath
known
her seasons,
And turtle ,
and swallow,
and
crane ,
Have
watched
the time of their coming ,
And
--
My people have
not known
the judgment of Jehovah
.
Yea,
the
stork in the heaven
knoweth
her appointed
times;
and the
turtle and the
crane and
the swallow
observe
the
time of their coming ;
but
my people know
not the judgment of the
LORD
.
How do ye say, We `
are '
wise, And the law of Jehovah
`
is '
with us? Surely,
lo, falsely
it hath
wrought,
The false
pen of scribes.

LORD
is with us? Lo, certainly
in
vain
made
he
it ;
the pen of the
scribes is
in
vain
.
Ashamed
have
been
the wise, They have
been
affrighted,
and
are captured,
Lo, against
a
word
of
Jehovah
they kicked,
And
the wisdom
of what --
have
they
?
The wise men
are
ashamed
, they are dismayed
and
taken:
lo, they have
rejected
the word
of the
LORD;
and
what wisdom
is
in
them
?
Therefore ,
I give their wives to
others, Their fields to dispossessors,
For from the least even unto the greatest ,
Every
one
is gaining
dishonest
gain
, From prophet even unto priest ,
every one is
dealing
falsely.
Therefore will
I give their wives unto
others, and
their fields to them
that
shall
inherit
them:
for every
one
from the least even unto the greatest is given
to
covetousness
, from the
prophet even unto the
priest every one dealeth
falsely.

They
were ashamed when they did
abomination !
Yea
, they are
not at all ashamed, And
blushing
they have
not
known,
Therefore ,
they do
fall among falling
ones,
In the time of their inspection
they stumble
, said
Jehovah
.
Were they
ashamed when they had
committed
abomination ?
nay
, they were
not at all ashamed, neither
could
they blush:
therefore shall
they fall among them
that
fall:
in the time of their visitation
they shall
be
cast
down
, saith
the
LORD
.
I utterly
consume them, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
There are
no grapes in
the vine, Yea,
there
are
no
figs in
the fig -
tree, And the leaf hath
faded,
And the strength
they
have passeth
from them.
I will
surely
consume them, saith
the
LORD:
there shall
be
no grapes on
the vine, nor
figs on
the fig tree, and the leaf shall
fade;
and the things
that
I
have given
them
shall
pass
away
from them.
Wherefore
are
we sitting
still? Be
gathered
, and we
go
in
to
the fenced
cities, And we
are
silent there ,
For Jehovah
our God hath made
us silent,
Yea
, He
causeth
us to
drink
water of gall, For
we have sinned against Jehovah
.
Why
do
we sit
still? assemble
yourselves
, and let
us
enter
into
the defenced
cities, and let
us
be
silent there :
for the
LORD
our God hath put
us to
silence
, and
given
us water of gall to
drink
, because
we have sinned against the
LORD
.
Looking
for peace --
and
there
is
no good ,
For a time of healing
, and lo,
terror.
We
looked
for peace ,
but
no good came;
and
for a time of health
, and behold
trouble!
From
Dan
hath
been
heard
the snorting of his horses ,
From the voice
of the neighings
of his mighty
ones ,
Trembled
hath
all
the
land,
And
they come in
and consume
the land and
its
fulness
, The
city
and the
inhabitants
in it.
The snorting of his horses was
heard
from Dan:
the whole
land
trembled
at
the
sound
of the neighing
of his strong
ones ;
for
they are
come ,
and have
devoured
the land, and all
that
is
in it ;
the
city,
and
those
that
dwell
therein
.

cockatrices,

LORD

My
refreshing
for
me
`is'

me
my heart `
is '

When

in
me
.
Lo,
the voice of a
cry of the daughter of my people from
a land
afar
off,
Is Jehovah
not in Zion? is her king not
in her? Wherefore
have they provoked Me with their graven images, With the
vanities of
a
foreigner
?
Behold
the voice of the
cry of the daughter of my people because
of
them
that
dwell
in
a far
country:
Is not the
LORD
in Zion? is not
her king in her? Why
have they provoked me to
anger
with their graven images, and
with strange
vanities?

broken,

I am

astonishment hath taken
hold
on
me.
Is there no balm in Gilead ?
Is there no physician there? For
wherefore
hath
not the health of the daughter of my people gone
up
?

is
not the health of the daughter of my people recovered
?
