“Is Israel ^H3478 a slave ^H5650? Or ^H518 is he a servant ^H3211 born ^H3211 in the home ^H1004?

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

“You generation ^H1755, look ^H7200 to the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^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,

Or ^H518 keep ^H8104 His anger 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 own way ^H3201.”

“Shall I not punish ^H6485 them for these ^H428 things?” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“And shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315

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

‘Do you not fear ^H3372 Me?’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^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,

An eternal ^H5769 limit ^H2706, and it will not cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 it.

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

Though they roar ^H1993, they will not cross ^H5674 over ^H5674 it.

‘Shall I not punish ^H6485 them for these ^H428 things?’ declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

‘Or shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315

On a nation ^H1471 such ^H834 as this ^H2088?’

“Therefore ^H3651, behold ^H2009, days ^H3117 are coming ^H935,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, “when it will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be called ^H559 Topheth ^H8612, or the Valley ^H1516 of Ben-hinnom ^H1121 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, listen ^H6963! The cry ^H7775 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971 from a distant ^H4801 land ^H776:

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

“Why ^H4069 have they provoked ^H3707 Me with their carved ^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 [fn]been restored ^H5927?

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

“Shall I not avenge ^H5358 Myself ^H5315

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

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

When ^H3588 she has carried ^H6213 out ^H6213 many ^H7227 evil ^H4209 schemes ^H4209?

Can the sacrificial ^H6944 flesh ^H1320 take ^H5674 away ^H5674 from you your disaster ^H7451,

[fn]So ^H227 that you can rejoice ^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 animals ^H2416 of the field ^H7704,

Bring ^H857 them to devour ^H398!

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

Like a warrior ^H1368 who cannot ^H3201 H3808 save ^H3467?

Yet You are in our midst ^H7130, LORD ^H3068,

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

Do not leave ^H5117 us!”

“Indeed ^H3588, who ^H4310 will have ^H2550 pity ^H2550 on you, Jerusalem ^H3389,

Or who ^H4310 will mourn ^H5110 for you,

Or who ^H4310 will turn ^H5493 aside ^H5493 to ask ^H7592 about your welfare ^H7965?

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

Or ^H518 is the cold ^H7119 flowing ^H5140 water ^H4325 from a foreign ^H2114 land ever dried ^H5405 up ^H5405?

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

You [fn]rocky ^H6697 plain ^H4334,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

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

Or who ^H4310 will enter ^H935 our dwellings ^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]pronouncement ^H4853 of the LORD ^H3068?’ then you shall say ^H559 to them, ‘What ^H4100 [fn]pronouncement ^H4853?’ The LORD ^H3068 declares ^H5002, ‘I will abandon ^H5203 you.’

“But everyone ^H376 will die ^H4191 for his own wrongdoing ^H5771; each ^H3605 person ^H120 who eats ^H398 the sour ^H1155 grapes ^H1155, his own teeth ^H8127 will become ^H6949 blunt ^H6949.

Concerning the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983. This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

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

Or ^H518 has ^H369 he no ^H369 heirs ^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?
