Lexicon :: Strong's H5315 - nep̄eš

But the LORD ^H3068 desired ^H2654

To crush ^H1792 Him, [fn]causing ^H2470 Him grief ^H2470;

If ^H518 He renders ^H7760 [fn]Himself ^H5315 as a guilt ^H817 offering ^H817,

He will see ^H7200 His [fn]offspring ^H2233,

He will prolong ^H748 His days ^H3117,

And the [fn]good ^H2656 pleasure ^H2656 of the LORD ^H3068 will prosper ^H6743 in His hand ^H3027.

“Why ^H4100 do you [fn]spend ^H8254 money ^H3701 for what is not bread ^H3899,

And your wages ^H3018 for what ^H7654 does ^H7654 not satisfy ^H7654?

Listen ^H8085 carefully ^H8085 to Me, and eat ^H398 what ^H2896 is ^H2896 good ^H2896,

And delight ^H6026 yourself ^H5315 in abundance ^H1880.

And the dogs ^H3611 are [fn]greedy ^H5315 H5794, they [fn]are never ^H3808 satisfied ^H3045 H7654.

And they are shepherds ^H7462 who have ^H3045 no ^H3808 understanding ^H995;

They have all ^H3605 turned ^H6437 to their own way ^H1870,

Each ^H376 one ^H376 to his unjust ^H1215 gain ^H1215, [fn]without ^H4480 exception ^H7097.

‘Why ^H4100 have we fasted ^H6684 and You do not see ^H7200?

Why have we humbled ^H6031 ourselves ^H5315 and You do not [fn]notice ^H3045?’

Behold ^H2005, on the day ^H3117 of your fast ^H6685 you find ^H4672 your desire ^H2656,

And oppress ^H5065 all ^H3605 your workers ^H6092.

“Is it a fast ^H6685 like this ^H2088 that I choose ^H977, a day ^H3117 for a person ^H120 to humble ^H6031 himself ^H5315?

Is it for bowing ^H3721 [fn]one’s head ^H7218 like a reed ^H100

And for spreading ^H3331 out ^H3331 sackcloth ^H8242 and ashes ^H665 as ^H3331 a ^H3331 bed ^H3331?

Will you call ^H7121 this ^H2088 a fast ^H6685, even an acceptable ^H7522 day ^H3117 to the LORD ^H3068?

And if you offer ^H6329 yourself ^H5315 to the hungry ^H7457

And satisfy ^H7646 the [fn]need ^H5315 of the afflicted ^H6031,

Then your light ^H216 will rise ^H2224 in darkness ^H2822,

And your gloom ^H653 will become like midday ^H6672.

I will rejoice ^H7797 greatly ^H7797 in the LORD ^H3068,

My soul ^H5315 will be ^H1523 joyful ^H1523 in my God ^H430;

For He has clothed ^H3847 me with garments ^H899 of salvation ^H3468,

He has wrapped ^H5844 me with a robe ^H4598 of righteousness ^H6666,

As a groom ^H2860 puts ^H3547 on ^H3547 a turban ^H6287,

And as a bride ^H3618 adorns ^H5710 herself with her jewels ^H3627.

“But the one who slaughters ^H7819 an ox ^H7794 is like one who kills ^H5221 a person ^H376;

The one who sacrifices ^H2076 a lamb ^H7716 is like one who breaks ^H6202 a dog’s ^H3611 neck ^H6202;

One who offers ^H5927 a grain offering ^H4503 is like one who offers pig’s ^H2386 blood ^H1818;

One who [fn]burns ^H2142 incense ^H3828 is like one who blesses ^H1288 an idol ^H205.

As they have chosen ^H977 their own ways ^H1870,

And their souls ^H5315 delight ^H2654 in their abominations ^H8251,

A wild ^H6501 donkey ^H6501 accustomed ^H3928 to the wilderness ^H4057,

That sniffs ^H7602 the wind ^H7307 in her passion ^H185 H5315.

Who ^H4310 can turn ^H7725 her away ^H7725 in her mating ^H8385 season ^H8385?

None ^H3605 H3808 who seek ^H1245 her will grow ^H3286 weary ^H3286;

In her month ^H2320 they will find ^H4672 her.

“Also ^H1571 on your skirts ^H3671 is found ^H4672

The lifeblood ^H1818 H5315 of the innocent ^H5355 poor ^H34;

You did not find ^H4672 them breaking ^H4290 in ^H4290.

But in ^H5921 spite ^H5921 of ^H5921 all ^H3605 these ^H428 things ^H428,

And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478 has proved ^H6663 herself ^H5315 to ^H6663 be ^H6663 more ^H4480 righteous ^H6663 than ^H4480 treacherous ^H898 Judah ^H3063.

Then I said ^H559, “Oh ^H162, Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068! Surely ^H403 You have utterly ^H5378 deceived ^H5378 this ^H2088 people ^H5971 and Jerusalem ^H3389, saying ^H559, ‘You will have ^H1961 peace ^H7965’; yet a sword ^H2719 touches ^H5060 the [fn]throat ^H5315.”

My [fn]soul ^H4578, my [fn]soul ^H4578! I am ^H2342 in ^H2342 anguish ^H2342! [fn]Oh ^H7023, my heart ^H3820!

My heart ^H3820 is pounding ^H1993 in me;

I cannot ^H3808 keep silent ^H2790,

Because ^H3588, [fn]my soul ^H5315, you have heard ^H8085

The sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782,

The alarm ^H8643 of war ^H4421.

And you, desolate ^H7703 one, what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213?

Although ^H3588 you dress ^H3847 in scarlet ^H8144,

Although ^H3588 you adorn ^H5710 yourself with jewelry ^H5716 of gold ^H2091,

Although ^H3588 you enlarge ^H7167 your eyes ^H5869 with makeup ^H6320,

In vain ^H7723 you make ^H3302 yourself beautiful ^H3302.

Your [fn]lovers ^H5689 despise ^H3988 you;

They seek ^H1245 your life ^H5315.

“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?

‘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?’

“Be warned ^H3256, Jerusalem ^H3389,

Or ^H6435 [fn]I shall be alienated ^H3363 from you,

And make ^H7760 you a desolation ^H8077,

An uninhabited ^H3808 H3427 land ^H776.”

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Stand ^H5975 by the ways ^H1870 and see ^H7200 and ask ^H7592 for the ancient ^H5769 paths ^H5410,

Where ^H335 the good ^H2896 way ^H1870 is, and walk ^H1980 in it;

Then you will find ^H4672 a resting ^H4771 place ^H4771 for your souls ^H5315.

But they said ^H559, ‘We will not walk ^H1980 in it.’

“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?

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 concerning ^H5921 the people ^H376 of Anathoth ^H6068, who are seeking ^H1245 your life ^H5315, saying ^H559: “Do not prophesy ^H5012 in the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068, so that you do not die ^H4191 by our hand ^H3027”;

“I have forsaken ^H5800 My house ^H1004,

I have abandoned ^H5203 My inheritance ^H5159;

I have handed ^H3709 the beloved ^H3033 of My soul ^H5315

Over ^H5414 to her enemies ^H340.

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

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

And my eyes ^H5869 will shed ^H1830

And stream ^H3381 down ^H3381 tears ^H1832,

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

Have You completely ^H3988 rejected ^H3988 Judah ^H3063?

Or ^H518 have [fn]You loathed ^H1602 Zion ^H6726?

Why ^H4069 have You stricken ^H5221 us so that we are beyond ^H369 healing ^H4832?

We waited ^H6960 for peace ^H7965, but nothing ^H369 good ^H2896 came;

And for a time ^H6256 of healing ^H4832, but behold ^H2009, terror ^H1205!

Then the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Even if ^H518 Moses ^H4872 and Samuel ^H8050 were to stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 Me, My [fn]heart ^H5315 would not be [fn]with this ^H2088 people ^H5971. Send ^H7971 them away ^H7971 from My presence ^H6440 and have them go ^H3318!

“She who gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to seven ^H7651 sons withers ^H535 away ^H535;

[fn]Her breathing ^H5315 is ^H5301 labored ^H5301.

Her sun ^H8121 has set ^H935 while it was still ^H5750 day ^H3119;

She has been shamed ^H954 and humiliated ^H2659.

So I will turn ^H5414 over ^H5414 their survivors ^H7611 to the sword ^H2719

Before ^H6440 their enemies ^H340,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

Should good ^H2896 be repaid ^H7999 with evil ^H7451?

For they have dug ^H3738 a pit ^H7745 for [fn]me.

Remember ^H2142 how I stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 You

To speak ^H1696 good ^H2896 in ^H5921 their behalf ^H5921,

So as to turn ^H7725 Your wrath ^H2534 away ^H7725 from them.

Sing ^H7891 to the LORD ^H3068, praise ^H1984 the LORD ^H3068!

For He has saved ^H5337 the soul ^H5315 of the needy ^H34 one ^H34

From the hand ^H3027 of evildoers ^H7489.

“Did Hezekiah ^H2396 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 and all ^H3605 Judah ^H3063 actually ^H4191 put ^H4191 him to ^H4191 death ^H4191? Did he not fear ^H3372 the LORD ^H3068 and plead ^H2470 for ^H2470 the favor ^H6440 of the LORD ^H3068, and the LORD ^H3068 relented ^H5162 of the disaster ^H7451 which ^H834 He had pronounced ^H1696 against ^H5921 them? But we are committing ^H6213 a great ^H1419 evil ^H7451 against ^H5921 our own lives ^H5315!”

“They will come ^H935 and shout ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442 on the height ^H4791 of Zion ^H6726,

And they will be radiant ^H5102 over ^H413 the [fn]bounty ^H2898 of the LORD ^H3068—

Over ^H5921 the grain ^H1715, the new ^H8492 wine ^H8492, the oil ^H3323,

And over ^H5921 the young ^H1121 of the flock ^H6629 and the herd ^H1241.

And their life ^H5315 will be like a watered ^H7302 garden ^H1588,

And they will never ^H3808 H5750 languish ^H1669 again ^H3254.

“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.
