“The young ^H3715 lions ^H3715 have roared ^H7580 at him;

They have given ^H5414 forth ^H5414 their voice ^H6963.

And they have made ^H7896 his land ^H776 a desolation ^H8047;

His cities ^H5892 have been turned ^H5327 into ruin ^H5327, without ^H1097 inhabitant ^H3427.

“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.

‘[fn]Return ^H7725, O faithless ^H7726 sons ^H1121,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068;

‘For I am ^H1166 a ^H1166 master ^H1166 to you,

And I will take ^H3947 you one ^H259 from a city ^H5892 and two ^H8147 from a family ^H4940,

And I will bring ^H935 you to Zion ^H6726.’

Declare ^H5046 in Judah ^H3063 and make ^H8085 it heard ^H8085 in Jerusalem ^H3389 and say ^H559,

“Blow ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782 in the land ^H776;

Call ^H7121 out ^H7121, make ^H4390 your voice full ^H4390, and say ^H559,

‘Gather ^H622 yourselves, and let us go ^H935

Into the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892.’

“A lion ^H738 has gone ^H5927 up ^H5927 from his thicket ^H5441,

And a destroyer ^H7843 of nations ^H1471 has set ^H5265 out ^H5265;

He has gone ^H3318 out ^H3318 from his place ^H4725

To make ^H7760 your land ^H776 a desolation ^H8047.

Your cities ^H5892 will be turned ^H5327 into ruins ^H5327

Without ^H369 inhabitant ^H3427.

“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.

I saw ^H7200, and behold ^H2009, [fn]the fruitful ^H3759 orchard ^H3759 was a wilderness ^H4057,

And all ^H3605 its cities ^H5892 were torn ^H5422 down ^H5422

Before ^H4480 H6440 Yahweh ^H3068, before ^H4480 H6440 His burning ^H2740 anger ^H639.

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.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 a lion ^H738 from the forest ^H3293 will strike ^H5221 them down ^H5221;

A wolf ^H2061 of the deserts ^H6160 will devastate ^H7703 them;

A leopard ^H5246 is watching ^H8245 their cities ^H5892.

Everyone ^H3605 who goes ^H3318 out of them will be torn ^H2963 in ^H2963 pieces ^H2963

Because ^H3588 their transgressions ^H6588 are ^H7231 many ^H7231;

Their acts ^H4878 of faithlessness ^H4878 are ^H6105 mighty ^H6105.

“They will devour ^H398 your harvest ^H7105 and your food ^H3899;

They will devour ^H398 your sons ^H1121 and your daughters ^H1323;

They will devour ^H398 your flocks ^H6629 and your herds ^H1241;

They will devour ^H398 your vines ^H1612 and your fig ^H8384 trees ^H8384;

They will demolish ^H7567 with the sword ^H2719 your fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892 in which ^H834 you trust ^H982.

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“Cut ^H3772 down ^H3772 her trees ^H6097

And cast ^H8210 up ^H8210 a siege ^H5550 against ^H5921 Jerusalem ^H3389.

This ^H1931 is the city ^H5892 to be punished ^H6485,

In whose midst ^H7130 there is only ^H3605 oppression ^H6233.

Why ^H5921 H4100 are we sitting ^H3427 still ^H3427?

Gather ^H622 yourselves, and let us go ^H935 into the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892

And let us be silent ^H1826 there ^H8033

Because ^H3588 Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 has silenced ^H1826 us

And given ^H8248 us [fn]poisoned ^H7219 water ^H4325 to ^H8248 drink ^H8248,

For we have sinned ^H2398 against Yahweh ^H3068.

From Dan ^H1835 is heard ^H8085 the snorting ^H5170 of his horses ^H5483;

At the sound ^H6963 of the neighing ^H4684 of his valiant ^H47 steeds ^H47

The whole ^H3605 land ^H776 quakes ^H7493;

And they come ^H935 and devour ^H398 the land ^H776 as well as its fullness ^H4393,

The city ^H5892 and its inhabitants ^H3427.

“I will make ^H5414 Jerusalem ^H3389 a heap ^H1530 of ruins,

A haunt ^H4583 of jackals ^H8565;

And I will make ^H5414 the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063 a desolation ^H8077, without ^H1097 inhabitant ^H3427.”

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.

And Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Call ^H7121 out ^H7121 all ^H3605 these ^H428 words ^H1697 in the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063 and in the streets ^H2351 of Jerusalem ^H3389, saying ^H559, ‘Hear ^H8085 the words ^H1697 of this ^H2088 covenant ^H1285 so that you will do ^H6213 them.

The cities ^H5892 of the Negev ^H5045 have been closed ^H5462 up ^H5462,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to open ^H6605 them;

All ^H3605 Judah ^H3063 has been taken ^H1540 away ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1540,

Wholly ^H7965 taken ^H1540 away ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1540.

‘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.’”

“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,

But let that man ^H376 be like the cities ^H5892

Which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 overthrew ^H2015 without ^H3808 [fn]relenting ^H5162,

And let him hear ^H8085 an outcry ^H2201 in the morning ^H1242

And a [fn]shout ^H8643 of war ^H8643 at noon ^H6672,

“You are like Gilead ^H1568 to Me,

Like the summit ^H7218 of Lebanon ^H3844;

Yet most ^H518 H3808 assuredly ^H518 H3808 I will make ^H7896 you like a wilderness ^H4057,

Like cities ^H5892 which are not inhabited ^H3427.

“Many ^H7227 nations ^H1471 will pass ^H5674 by this ^H2088 city ^H5892; and they will say ^H559 to one ^H376 another ^H7453, ‘Why ^H5921 H4100 has Yahweh ^H3068 done ^H6213 thus ^H3602 to this ^H2088 great ^H1419 city ^H5892?’

“Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

‘Behold ^H2009, I will [fn]return ^H7725 the [fn]fortunes ^H7622 of the tents ^H168 of Jacob ^H3290

And have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 his dwelling ^H4908 places ^H4908;

And the city ^H5892 will be rebuilt ^H1129 on its ruin ^H8510,

And the palace ^H759 will sit ^H3427 on its just ^H4941 place ^H4941.

“Set ^H5324 up ^H5324 roadmarks ^H6725 for yourself,

Place ^H7760 for yourself guideposts ^H8564;

Set ^H7896 your heart ^H3820 to the highway ^H4546,

The way ^H1870 by which you went ^H1980.

Return ^H7725, O virgin ^H1330 of Israel ^H3478,

Return ^H7725 to these ^H428 your cities ^H5892.
