“Is Israel ^H3478 a slave ^H5650? Or ^H518 is he a homeborn ^H3211 H1004 slave?

Why ^H4069 has he become ^H1961 plunder ^H957?

“O generation ^H1755, [fn]behold ^H7200 the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Have I been ^H1961 a wilderness ^H4057 to Israel ^H3478

Or ^H518 a land ^H776 of thick ^H3991 darkness ^H3991?

Why ^H4069 do My people ^H5971 say ^H559, ‘We are free to roam ^H7300;

We will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 come ^H935 to You’?

‘Will He be ^H5201 angry ^H5201 forever ^H5769?

Will He keep ^H8104 it to the end ^H5331?’

Behold ^H2009, you have spoken ^H1696

And have done ^H6213 evil ^H7451 things ^H7451,

And you have [fn]had ^H3201 your way ^H3201.”

“Shall I not punish ^H6485 [fn]these ^H428 people,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And on a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088

Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315?

‘Do you not fear ^H3372 Me?’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

‘Do you not tremble ^H2342 in My presence ^H6440?

For I have placed ^H7760 the sand ^H2344 as a boundary ^H1366 for the sea ^H3220,

A perpetual ^H5769 statute ^H2706, so it cannot ^H3808 cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 it.

Though the waves ^H1530 toss ^H1607, yet they cannot ^H3808 prevail ^H3201;

Though they roar ^H1993, yet they cannot ^H3808 cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 it.

‘Shall I not punish ^H6485 [fn]these ^H428 people?’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

‘On a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088

Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315?’

“Therefore ^H3651, behold ^H2009, days ^H3117 are coming ^H935,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, “when it will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be called ^H559 Topheth ^H8612 or the valley ^H1516 of the son ^H1121 of Hinnom ^H2011, but the valley ^H1516 of the Slaughter ^H2028; for they will bury ^H6912 in Topheth ^H8612 [fn]because ^H4480 there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 other place ^H4725.

Behold ^H2009, the sound ^H6963! The cry ^H7775 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971 from a distant ^H4801 land ^H776:

“Is Yahweh ^H3068 not in Zion ^H6726? Is her King ^H4428 not within her?”

“Why ^H4069 have they provoked ^H3707 Me to anger ^H3707 with their graven ^H6456 images ^H6456, with foreign ^H5236 [fn]idols ^H1892?”

Is ^H369 there ^H369 no ^H369 balm ^H6875 in Gilead ^H1568?

Is ^H369 there ^H369 no ^H369 physician ^H7495 there ^H8033?

Why ^H4069 then ^H3588 has not the [fn]health ^H724 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971 gone ^H5927 up ^H5927?

“Shall I not punish ^H6485 them for these ^H428 things ^H428?” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“On a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088

Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315?

“What ^H4100 possession has My beloved ^H3039 in My house ^H1004

When ^H3588 she has done ^H6213 many ^H7227 schemes ^H4209 of wickedness ^H4209?

Can the flesh ^H1320, which is set ^H6944 apart ^H6944 as ^H6944 holy ^H6944, take ^H5674 away ^H5674 from you your calamity ^H7451,

[fn]So ^H227 that you can exult ^H5937?”

“Is My inheritance ^H5159 like a speckled ^H6641 bird ^H5861 of ^H5861 prey ^H5861 to Me?

Are the birds ^H5861 of ^H5861 prey ^H5861 against ^H5921 her on every ^H5439 side ^H5439?

Go ^H1980, gather ^H622 all ^H3605 the beasts ^H2416 of the field ^H7704,

Bring ^H857 them to devour ^H398!

“Why ^H4100 are You like a man ^H376 confused ^H1724,

Like a mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 who cannot ^H3201 H3808 save ^H3467?

Yet You are in our midst ^H7130, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And we are called ^H7121 by Your name ^H8034;

Do not leave ^H5117 us!”

“Indeed ^H3588, who ^H4310 will spare ^H2550 you, O Jerusalem ^H3389,

Or who ^H4310 will console ^H5110 you,

Or who ^H4310 will turn ^H5493 aside ^H5493 to ask ^H7592 about your well-being ^H7965?

‘Does the snow ^H7950 of Lebanon ^H3844 forsake ^H5800 the rock ^H6697 of the open country ^H7704?

Or ^H518 is the cold ^H7119 flowing ^H5140 water ^H4325 from a strange ^H2114 land ever uprooted ^H5428?

“Behold ^H2009, I am against ^H413 you, O inhabitant ^H3427 of the valley ^H6010,

O [fn]rocky ^H6697 plain ^H4334,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“You men who say ^H559, ‘Who ^H4310 will come ^H5181 down ^H5181 against ^H5921 us?

Or who ^H4310 will enter ^H935 into our dwelling ^H4585 places ^H4585?’

“Now when ^H3588 this ^H2088 people ^H5971 or ^H176 the prophet ^H5030 or ^H176 a priest ^H3548 asks ^H7592 you, saying ^H559, ‘What ^H4100 is the [fn]oracle ^H4853 of Yahweh ^H3068?’ then you shall say ^H559 to them, ‘What ^H4100 oracle ^H4853?’ Yahweh ^H3068 declares ^H5002, ‘I will abandon ^H5203 you.’

“But everyone ^H376 will die ^H4191 for his own iniquity ^H5771; each ^H3605 man ^H120 who eats ^H398 the sour ^H1155 grapes ^H1155, his teeth ^H8127 will be [fn]set ^H6949 on edge ^H6949.

Concerning the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983. Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068:

“Does Israel ^H3478 have ^H369 no ^H369 sons ^H1121?

Or ^H518 has ^H369 he no ^H369 one who can take possession ^H3423?

Why ^H4069 then has [fn]Malcam ^H4445 taken ^H3423 possession ^H3423 of Gad ^H1410

And his people ^H5971 settled ^H3427 in its cities ^H5892?
