May Your priests ^H3548 be clothed ^H3847 with righteousness ^H6664,

And may Your godly ^H2623 ones ^H2623 sing ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442.

“I will also clothe ^H3847 her priests ^H3548 with salvation ^H3468,

And her godly ^H2623 ones ^H2623 will sing ^H7442 aloud ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442.

And these ^H428 also ^H1571 reel ^H7686 with wine ^H3196 and stagger ^H8582 from intoxicating ^H7941 drink ^H7941:

The priest ^H3548 and the prophet ^H5030 reel ^H7686 with intoxicating ^H7941 drink ^H7941,

They are confused ^H1104 by wine ^H3196, they stagger ^H8582 from intoxicating ^H7941 drink ^H7941;

They reel ^H7686 while [fn]having visions ^H7203,

They stagger ^H6328 when rendering a verdict ^H6417.

But you will be called ^H7121 the priests ^H3548 of the LORD ^H3068;

You will be spoken ^H7121 of ^H7121 as ministers ^H8334 of our God ^H430.

You will eat ^H398 the wealth ^H2428 of nations ^H1471,

And you will boast ^H559 in their [fn]riches ^H3519.

The words ^H1697 of Jeremiah ^H3414 the son ^H1121 of Hilkiah ^H2518, of the priests ^H3548 who ^H834 were in Anathoth ^H6068 in the land ^H776 of Benjamin ^H1144,

“The priests ^H3548 did not say ^H559, ‘Where ^H346 is the LORD ^H3068?’

And those who handle ^H8610 the Law ^H8451 did not know ^H3045 Me;

The [fn]rulers ^H7462 also revolted ^H6586 against Me,

And the prophets ^H5030 prophesied ^H5012 by Baal ^H1168

And walked ^H1980 after ^H310 things that were of no ^H3808 benefit ^H3276.

“Like the shame ^H1322 of a thief ^H1590 when ^H3588 he is discovered ^H4672,

So ^H3651 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 is shamed ^H954;

They, their kings ^H4428, their leaders ^H8269,

Their priests ^H3548, and their prophets ^H5030,

“And it shall come ^H1961 about ^H1961 on that day ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, “that the heart ^H3820 of the king ^H4428 and the hearts ^H3820 of the leaders ^H8269 will fail ^H6; and the priests ^H3548 will tremble ^H8074, and the prophets ^H5030 will be ^H8539 astonished ^H8539.”

The prophets ^H5030 prophesy ^H5012 falsely ^H8267,

And the priests ^H3548 rule ^H7287 [fn]on their own authority ^H3027;

And My people ^H5971 love ^H157 it this ^H3651 way ^H3651!

But what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213 [fn]when the end ^H319 comes?

“For from the least ^H6996 of them to the greatest ^H1419 of them,

Everyone ^H3605 is greedy ^H1214 for gain ^H1215,

And from the prophet ^H5030 to the priest ^H3548

Everyone ^H3605 deals ^H6213 falsely ^H8267.

“At that time ^H6256,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, “they will bring ^H3318 out ^H3318 the bones ^H6106 of the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, the bones ^H6106 of its leaders ^H8269, the bones ^H6106 of the priests ^H3548, the bones ^H6106 of the prophets ^H5030, and the bones ^H6106 of the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 from their graves ^H6913.

“Therefore ^H3651 I will give ^H5414 their wives ^H802 to others ^H312,

Their fields ^H7704 to new owners ^H3423;

Because ^H3588 from the least ^H6996 even to the greatest ^H1419

Everyone ^H3605 is greedy ^H1214 for gain ^H1215;

From the prophet ^H5030 even to the priest ^H3548,

Everyone ^H3605 practices ^H6213 deceit ^H8267.

‘If ^H518 I go ^H3318 out ^H3318 to the country ^H7704,

There ^H2009 are those killed ^H2491 by the sword ^H2719!

Or if ^H518 I enter ^H935 the city ^H5892,

There ^H2009 are diseases ^H8463 from famine ^H7458!

For both ^H1571 prophet ^H5030 and priest ^H3548

Have wandered ^H5503 around ^H5503 in the land ^H776 that they do not know ^H3045.’”

Then they said ^H559, “Come ^H1980 and let’s devise ^H2803 plans ^H4284 against ^H5921 Jeremiah ^H3414. Certainly ^H3588 the Law ^H8451 is not going to be lost ^H6 by the priest ^H3548, nor ^H3808 advice ^H6098 by the wise ^H2450, nor ^H3808 the divine word ^H1697 by the prophet ^H5030! Come ^H1980, and let’s strike ^H5221 at him with our tongue ^H3956, and let’s pay ^H7181 no ^H408 attention ^H7181 to any ^H3605 of his words ^H1697.”

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Go ^H1980 and buy ^H7069 a potter’s ^H3335 earthenware ^H2789 jar ^H1228, and take some ^H4480 of the elders ^H2205 of the people ^H5971 and some ^H4480 of the [fn]senior ^H2205 priests ^H3548.

When Pashhur ^H6583 the priest ^H3548, the son ^H1121 of Immer ^H564, who ^H1931 was chief ^H5057 overseer ^H6496 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068, heard ^H8085 Jeremiah ^H3414 prophesying ^H5012 these ^H428 things ^H1697,

The word ^H1697 that ^H834 came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 from the LORD ^H3068 when King ^H4428 Zedekiah ^H6667 sent ^H7971 to him Pashhur ^H6583 the son ^H1121 of Malchijah ^H4441 and Zephaniah ^H6846 the priest ^H3548, the son ^H1121 of Maaseiah ^H4641, saying ^H559,

“For both ^H1571 prophet ^H5030 and priest ^H3548 are defiled ^H2610;

Even ^H1571 in My house ^H1004 I have found ^H4672 their wickedness ^H7451,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“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.’

The priests ^H3548 and the prophets ^H5030 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 heard ^H8085 Jeremiah ^H3414 speaking ^H1696 these ^H428 words ^H1697 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068.

Then the officials ^H8269 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 said ^H559 to the priests ^H3548 and the prophets ^H5030, “No ^H369 death ^H4194 sentence ^H4941 for this ^H2088 man ^H376! For he has spoken ^H1696 to us in the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430.”

Then I spoke ^H1696 to the priests ^H3548 and to all ^H3605 this ^H2088 people ^H5971, saying ^H559: “This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: ‘Do not listen ^H8085 to the words ^H1697 of your prophets ^H5030 who prophesy ^H5012 to you, saying ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, the vessels ^H3627 of the LORD’S ^H3068 house ^H1004 will now ^H6258 shortly ^H4120 be brought ^H7725 back ^H7725 from Babylon ^H894”; for they are prophesying ^H5012 a lie ^H8267 to you.

Now in the same ^H1931 year ^H8141, in the beginning ^H7225 of the reign ^H4467 of Zedekiah ^H6667 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, in the fourth ^H7243 year ^H8141, in the fifth ^H2549 month ^H2320, Hananiah ^H2608 the prophet ^H5030 the son ^H1121 of Azzur ^H5809, who ^H834 was from Gibeon ^H1391, spoke ^H559 to me at the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068 in the sight ^H5869 of the priests ^H3548 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971, saying ^H559,

Then Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030 spoke ^H559 to the prophet ^H5030 Hananiah ^H2608 in the sight ^H5869 of the priests ^H3548 and in the sight ^H5869 of all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 who were standing ^H5975 at the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068,

Now these ^H428 are the words ^H1697 of the letter ^H5612 which ^H834 Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030 sent ^H7971 from Jerusalem ^H3389 to the rest ^H3499 of the elders ^H2205 of the exile ^H1473, the priests ^H3548, the prophets ^H5030, and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 whom ^H834 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 had taken ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1473 from Jerusalem ^H3389 to Babylon ^H894.

Now Zephaniah ^H6846 the priest ^H3548 read ^H7121 this ^H2088 letter ^H5612 [fn]to Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030.

“I will refresh ^H7301 the soul ^H5315 of the priests ^H3548 with [fn]abundance ^H1880,

And My people ^H5971 will be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with My goodness ^H2898,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

Yet King ^H4428 Zedekiah ^H6667 sent ^H7971 Jehucal ^H3081 the son ^H1121 of Shelemiah ^H8018, and the priest ^H3548 Zephaniah ^H6846 the son ^H1121 of Maaseiah ^H4641, to Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030, saying ^H559, “Please ^H4994 pray ^H6419 to the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 in our behalf ^H1157.”

“For because ^H3282 of your trust ^H982 in your own achievements ^H4639 and treasures ^H214,

You yourself ^H859 will also ^H1571 be captured ^H3920;

And Chemosh ^H3645 will go ^H3318 off ^H3318 into exile ^H1473

Together ^H3162 with his priests ^H3548 and his leaders ^H8269.

“Wail ^H3213, Heshbon ^H2809, for Ai ^H5857 has been destroyed ^H7703!

Cry ^H6817 out ^H6817, daughters ^H1323 of Rabbah ^H7237,

Put ^H2296 on ^H2296 sackcloth ^H8242 and mourn ^H5594,

And move ^H7751 about ^H7751 inside the walls ^H1448;

For [fn]Malcam ^H4445 will go ^H1980 into exile ^H1473

Together ^H3162 with his priests ^H3548 and his leaders ^H8269.

Then the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 took ^H3947 Seraiah ^H8304 the chief ^H7218 priest ^H3548 and Zephaniah ^H6846 the second ^H4932 priest ^H3548, with the three ^H7969 [fn]officers ^H8104 of the temple ^H5592.

The roads ^H1870 [fn]of Zion ^H6726 are in mourning ^H57

Because ^H4480 H1097 no ^H1097 one comes ^H935 to an appointed ^H4150 feast ^H4150.

All ^H3605 her gates ^H8179 are deserted ^H8074;

Her priests ^H3548 groan ^H584,

Her virgins ^H1330 are worried ^H3013,

And as for Zion herself ^H1931, it is ^H4843 bitter ^H4843 for her.

“I called ^H7121 to my lovers ^H157, but they deserted ^H7411 me;

My priests ^H3548 and my elders ^H2205 perished ^H1478 in the city ^H5892

While ^H3588 they sought ^H1245 food ^H400 to restore ^H7725 their [fn]strength ^H5315 themselves.

And He has treated ^H2554 His [fn]tabernacle ^H7900 violently ^H2554, like a despised garden ^H1588;

He has destroyed ^H7843 His appointed ^H4150 [fn]meeting ^H4150 place ^H4150.

The LORD ^H3068 has caused

The appointed ^H4150 feast ^H4150 and Sabbath ^H7676 in Zion ^H6726 to be forgotten ^H7911,

And He has despised ^H5006 king ^H4428 and priest ^H3548

In the indignation ^H2195 of His anger ^H639.

“See ^H7200, LORD ^H3068, and look ^H5027!

With whom ^H4310 have You dealt ^H5953 this ^H3541 way ^H3541?

Should women ^H802 really ^H518 eat ^H398 their [fn]children ^H6529,

The little ^H5768 ones ^H5768 who ^H2949 were ^H2949 [fn]born ^H2949 healthy ^H2949?

Should priest ^H3548 and prophet ^H5030 really ^H518 be killed ^H2026

In the sanctuary ^H4720 of the Lord ^H136?
