‘Only ^H389 [fn]acknowledge ^H3045 your iniquity ^H5771,

That you have transgressed ^H6586 against Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430

And have scattered ^H6340 your ways ^H1870 of harlotry to the strangers ^H2114 under ^H8478 every ^H3605 green ^H7488 tree ^H6086,

And you have not listened ^H8085 to My voice ^H6963,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

A voice ^H6963 is heard ^H8085 on the bare ^H8205 heights ^H8205,

The weeping ^H1065 and the supplications ^H8469 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478;

Because ^H3588 they have perverted ^H5753 their way ^H1870,

They have forgotten ^H7911 Yahweh ^H3068 their God ^H430.

“Make ^H2142 mention ^H2142 of it to the nations ^H1471, saying, ‘Behold ^H2009!’

Make ^H8085 it heard ^H8085 over ^H5921 Jerusalem ^H3389,

‘Besiegers ^H5341 come ^H935 from a far ^H4801 country ^H776,

And give ^H5414 forth their voices ^H6963 against ^H5921 the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063.

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 be silent ^H2790

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

The sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782,

The shout ^H8643 of war ^H4421.

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 must I see ^H7200 the standard ^H5251

And hear ^H8085 the sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782?

At the sound ^H6963 of the horseman ^H6571 and bowman ^H7411 H7198 every ^H3605 city ^H5892 flees ^H1272;

They go ^H935 into the thickets ^H5645 and climb ^H5927 up ^H5927 among the rocks ^H3710;

Every ^H3605 city ^H5892 is forsaken ^H5800,

And no ^H369 man ^H376 inhabits ^H3427 them.

For I heard ^H8085 a sound ^H6963 as of a woman in ^H2342 labor ^H2342 pains ^H2342,

The distress ^H6869 as of one ^H1069 giving ^H1069 birth ^H1069 to ^H1069 her ^H1069 first ^H1069 child ^H1069,

The sound ^H6963 of the daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726 gasping ^H3306 for ^H3306 breath ^H3306,

Stretching ^H6566 out ^H6566 her [fn]hands ^H3709, saying,

“Ah ^H4994, woe ^H188 is me, for my soul faints ^H5888 before murderers ^H2026.”

“They take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of bow ^H7198 and spear ^H3591;

They are cruel ^H394 and have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355;

Their voice ^H6963 roars ^H1993 like the sea ^H3220,

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Arranged ^H6186 as a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

Against ^H5921 you, O daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726!”

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?”

“For a voice ^H6963 of wailing ^H5092 is heard ^H8085 from Zion ^H6726,

‘How ^H349 we are destroyed ^H7703!

We are put ^H954 to ^H954 great ^H3966 shame ^H954,

For we have left ^H5800 the land ^H776

Because ^H3588 they have cast ^H7993 down ^H7993 our dwellings ^H4908.’”

The sound ^H6963 of a report ^H8052! Behold ^H2009, it comes ^H935—

A great ^H1419 quaking ^H7494 out of the land ^H776 of the north ^H6828—

To make ^H7760 the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063

A desolation ^H8077, a haunt ^H4583 of jackals ^H8565.

Yahweh ^H3068 called ^H7121 your name ^H8034,

“A green ^H7488 olive ^H2132 tree ^H2132, beautiful ^H3303 in fruit ^H6529 and form ^H8389”;

With the noise ^H6963 of a great ^H1419 tumult ^H1999

He has kindled ^H3341 fire ^H784 on it,

And its foliage ^H1808 has an evil ^H7489 demise.

Do give ^H7181 heed ^H7181 to me, O Yahweh ^H3068,

And listen ^H8085 to the voice ^H6963 of those who contend ^H3401 against me ^H6963!

“I spoke ^H1696 to you in your prosperity ^H7962,

But you said ^H559, ‘I will not listen ^H8085!’

This ^H2088 has been your way ^H1870 from your youth ^H5271,

That you have not listened ^H8085 to My voice ^H6963.

“Therefore you shall prophesy ^H5012 against ^H413 them all ^H3605 these ^H428 words ^H1697, and you shall say ^H559 to them,

‘Yahweh ^H3068 will roar ^H7580 from on high ^H4791

And give ^H5414 forth His voice ^H6963 from His holy ^H6944 habitation ^H4583;

He will roar ^H7580 mightily ^H7580 against ^H5921 His [fn]pasture ^H5116.

He will bellow ^H6030 a shout ^H1959 like those who tread ^H1869 the grapes,

Against ^H413 all ^H3605 the inhabitants ^H3427 of the earth ^H776.

“Hear the sound ^H6963 of the cry ^H6818 of the shepherds ^H7462,

And the wailing ^H3215 of the mighty ^H117 ones of the flock ^H6629!

For Yahweh ^H3068 is destroying ^H7703 their pasture ^H4830,

‘From them will come ^H3318 forth ^H3318 thanksgiving ^H8426

And the voice ^H6963 of those who [fn]celebrate ^H7832;

And I will multiply ^H7235 them, and they will not decrease ^H4591;

I will also honor ^H3513 them, and they will not be insignificant ^H6819.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Restrain ^H4513 your voice ^H6963 from weeping ^H1065

And your eyes ^H5869 from tears ^H1832,

For your work ^H6468 will be rewarded ^H7939,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And they will return ^H7725 from the land ^H776 of the enemy ^H340.
