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

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

“Although ^H3588 H518 you wash ^H3526 yourself with lye ^H5427

And [fn]use ^H7235 much ^H7235 soap ^H1287,

The stain ^H3799 of your iniquity ^H5771 is before ^H6440 Me,” declares ^H5002 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068.

“But where ^H346 are your gods ^H430

Which ^H834 you made ^H6213 for yourself?

Let them arise ^H6965, if ^H518 they can save ^H3467 you

In the time ^H6256 when your evil ^H7451 comes;

For according to the number ^H4557 of your cities ^H5892

Are your gods ^H430, O Judah ^H3063.

“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.”

“If ^H518 you will return ^H7725, O Israel ^H3478,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Then you should return ^H7725 to Me.

And if ^H518 you will put ^H5493 away ^H5493 your detested ^H8251 things ^H8251 from My presence ^H6440

And will not waver ^H5110

“Roam ^H7751 to and fro ^H7751 through the streets ^H2351 of Jerusalem ^H3389,

And see ^H7200 now ^H4994 and know ^H3045,

And seek ^H1245 in her open ^H7339 squares ^H7339,

If ^H518 you can find ^H4672 a man ^H376,

If ^H518 there ^H3426 is ^H3426 one who does ^H6213 justice ^H4941, who seeks ^H1245 faithfulness ^H530,

Then I will pardon ^H5545 her.

“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.

“You shall say ^H559 to them, ‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Do men fall ^H5307 and not get ^H6965 up ^H6965 again?

Does one turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 and not [fn]turn ^H7725 back ^H7725?

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?

But if ^H518 you will not listen ^H8085 to it,

My soul ^H5315 will cry ^H1058 in secret ^H4565 for such pride ^H1466;

And my eyes ^H5869 will bitterly ^H1830 weep ^H1830

And flow ^H3381 down ^H3381 with tears ^H1832

Because ^H3588 the flock ^H5739 of Yahweh ^H3068 has been taken ^H7617 captive ^H7617.

“Although ^H518 our iniquities ^H5771 answer ^H6030 against us,

O Yahweh ^H3068, act ^H6213 for Your name’s ^H8034 sake ^H4616!

Truly ^H3588 our acts ^H4878 of faithlessness ^H4878 have been ^H7231 many ^H7231;

We have sinned ^H2398 against You.

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

Behold ^H2009, those [fn]slain ^H2491 with the sword ^H2719!

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

Behold ^H2009, diseases ^H8463 of famine ^H7458!

For both ^H1571 prophet ^H5030 and priest ^H3548

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

Are ^H3426 there ^H3426 any ^H3426 among the [fn]idols ^H1892 of the nations ^H1471 who give ^H1652 rain ^H1652?

Or ^H518 can the heavens ^H8064 give ^H5414 showers ^H7241?

Is it not You, O Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430?

Therefore we [fn]hope ^H6960 in You,

For You are the one who has done ^H6213 all ^H3605 these ^H428 things ^H428.

Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Even though ^H518 Moses ^H4872 and Samuel ^H8050 were to stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 Me, My soul ^H5315 would not be [fn]with this ^H2088 people ^H5971; send ^H7971 them away ^H7971 from My presence ^H6440 and let them go ^H3318!

Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559, “Surely ^H518 H3808 I will set ^H8281 you free ^H8281 for purposes of good ^H2896;

Surely ^H518 H3808 I will cause the enemy ^H340 to intercede ^H6293 with you

In a time ^H6256 of disaster ^H7451 and a time ^H6256 of distress ^H6869.

Therefore ^H3651 thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“If ^H518 you return ^H7725, then I will cause you to return ^H7725—

Before ^H6440 Me you will stand ^H5975;

And if ^H518 you extract ^H3318 the precious ^H3368 from the worthless ^H2151,

You will become ^H1961 [fn]My mouthpiece ^H6310.

They for their part ^H1992 may turn ^H7725 to you,

But as for you, you must not turn ^H7725 to them.

“But it will be ^H1961, if ^H518 you listen ^H8085 carefully ^H8085 to Me,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, “to bring ^H935 no ^H1115 load ^H4853 in ^H935 through the gates ^H8179 of this ^H2088 city ^H5892 on the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117, but to keep ^H6942 the sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 holy ^H6942 by doing ^H6213 no ^H1115 H3605 work ^H4399 on it,

‘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?

“But your eyes ^H5869 and your heart ^H3820

Are set on nothing ^H369 except ^H3588 H518 your own greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215

And on shedding ^H8210 innocent ^H5355 blood ^H1818

And on doing ^H6213 oppression ^H6233 and extortion ^H4835.”

“As I live ^H2416,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, “even ^H3588 though ^H518 [fn]Coniah ^H3078 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiakim ^H3079 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 were a signet ^H2368 ring on My right ^H3225 hand ^H3027, yet ^H3588 I would pull ^H5423 [fn]you [fn]off ^H5423;

“Is this ^H2088 man ^H376 Coniah ^H3078 a despised ^H959, shattered ^H5310 jar ^H6089?

Or ^H518 is he an undesirable ^H369 H2656 vessel ^H3627?

Why ^H4069 have he and his seed ^H2233 been hurled ^H2904 out ^H2904

And cast ^H7993 into a land ^H776 that they had not known ^H3045?

“But if ^H518 they had stood ^H5975 in My council ^H5475,

Then they would have caused ^H8085 My words ^H1697 to ^H8085 be ^H8085 heard ^H8085 by My people ^H5971

And would have turned ^H7725 them back ^H7725 from their evil ^H7451 way ^H1870

And from the evil ^H7455 of their deeds ^H4611.

“Can a man ^H376 hide ^H5641 himself in hiding ^H4565 places ^H4565

So I do not see ^H7200 him?” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“Do I not fill ^H4390 the heavens ^H8064 and the earth ^H776?” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

‘Ask ^H7592 now ^H4994, and see ^H7200

If ^H518 a male ^H2145 can give ^H3205 birth ^H3205.

Why ^H4069 do I see ^H7200 every ^H3605 man ^H1397

With his hands ^H3027 on his loins ^H2504, as a woman in ^H3205 childbirth ^H3205?

And why have all ^H3605 faces ^H6440 turned ^H2015 pale ^H3420?
