“They did not say ^H559, ‘Where ^H346 is Yahweh ^H3068

Who brought ^H5927 us up ^H5927 out of the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714,

Who led ^H1980 us through the wilderness ^H4057,

Through a land ^H776 of deserts ^H6160 and of pits ^H7745,

Through a land ^H776 of drought ^H6723 and of the shadow ^H6757 of death ^H6757,

Through a land ^H776 that no ^H3808 one ^H376 crossed ^H5674

And where ^H8033 no ^H3808 man ^H120 inhabited ^H3427?’

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

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

The [fn]shepherds ^H7462 also transgressed ^H6586 against Me,

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

And walked ^H1980 after ^H310 things that did not profit ^H3276.

“Has a nation ^H1471 changed ^H4171 gods ^H430

Though they were not gods ^H430?

But My people ^H5971 have changed ^H4171 their glory ^H3519

For that which does not profit ^H3276.

“For My people ^H5971 have done ^H6213 two ^H8147 evils ^H7451:

They have forsaken ^H5800 Me,

The fountain ^H4726 of living ^H2416 waters ^H4325,

To hew ^H2672 for themselves cisterns ^H877,

Broken ^H7665 cisterns ^H877

That can ^H3201 hold ^H3557 no water ^H4325.

“Have you not done ^H6213 this ^H2088 to yourself

By your forsaking ^H5800 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430

When ^H6256 He led ^H1980 you in the way ^H1870?

“Your own evil ^H7451 will chastise ^H3256 you,

And your acts ^H4878 of faithlessness ^H4878 will reprove ^H3198 you;

Know ^H3045 therefore and see ^H7200 that it is evil ^H7451 and bitter ^H4751

For you to forsake ^H5800 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430,

And the dread ^H6345 of Me is not in you,” declares ^H5002 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

“For long ^H5769 ago ^H5769 [fn]I broke ^H7665 your yoke ^H5923

And tore ^H5423 off ^H5423 your bonds ^H4147;

But you said ^H559, ‘I will not serve ^H5647!’

For on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H1389

And under ^H8478 every ^H3605 green ^H7488 tree ^H6086

You have lain ^H6808 down ^H6808 as a harlot ^H2181.

“How ^H349 can you say ^H559, ‘I am not defiled ^H2930;

I have not walked ^H1980 after ^H310 the Baals ^H1168’?

Look ^H7200 at your way ^H1870 in the valley ^H1516!

Know ^H3045 what ^H4100 you have done ^H6213!

You are a swift ^H7031 young ^H1072 camel ^H1072 entangling ^H8308 her ways ^H1870,

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

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

In the time of her [fn]heat ^H8385 who ^H4310 can turn ^H7725 her away ^H7725?

All ^H3605 who seek ^H1245 her will not become ^H3286 weary ^H3286;

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

“Keep ^H4513 your feet ^H7272 from being barefoot ^H3182

And your throat ^H1627 from ^H4513 H4480 thirst ^H6773;

But you said ^H559, ‘It is [fn]hopeless ^H2976!

No ^H3808! For I have loved ^H157 strangers ^H2114,

And after ^H310 them I will walk ^H1980.’

Who say ^H559 to a tree ^H6086, ‘You are my father ^H1,’

And to a stone ^H68, ‘You gave ^H3205 me birth ^H3205.’

For they have turned ^H6437 their back ^H6203 to Me

And not their face ^H6440;

But in the time ^H6256 when their evil ^H7451 comes they will say ^H559,

‘Arise ^H6965 and save ^H3467 us.’

“In vain ^H7723 I have struck ^H5221 your sons ^H1121;

They received ^H3947 no ^H3808 discipline ^H4148.

Your sword ^H2719 has devoured ^H398 your prophets ^H5030

Like a destroying ^H7843 lion ^H738.

“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’?

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

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

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

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

Yet you said ^H559, ‘I am ^H5352 innocent ^H5352;

Surely ^H389 His anger ^H639 is turned ^H7725 away ^H7725 from me.’

Behold ^H2009, I will enter ^H8199 into ^H8199 judgment ^H8199 with you

Because ^H5921 you say ^H559, ‘I have not sinned ^H2398.’

“From this ^H2088 place also ^H1571 you will go ^H3318 out ^H3318

With your hands ^H3027 on your head ^H7218;

For Yahweh ^H3068 has rejected ^H3988 those in whom ^H4009 you trust ^H4009,

And you will not succeed ^H6743 with them.”

“Lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 your eyes ^H5869 to the bare ^H8205 heights ^H8205 and see ^H7200;

Where ^H375 have you not been ravished ^H7693?

By the roads ^H1870 you have sat ^H3427 for them

Like [fn]an Arab ^H6163 in the wilderness ^H4057,

And you have polluted ^H2610 a land ^H776

With your harlotry ^H2183 and with your evil ^H7451.

“Therefore the showers ^H7241 have been withheld ^H4513,

And the [fn]late ^H4456 rain ^H4456 has not ^H3808 [fn]come ^H1961.

Yet you had ^H1961 a harlot’s ^H802 H2181 forehead ^H4696;

You refused ^H3985 to feel ^H3637 dishonor ^H3637.

“Have you not just now ^H6258 called ^H7121 to Me,

‘My Father ^H1, You are the [fn]close ^H441 companion ^H441 of my youth ^H5271?

‘[fn]Return ^H7725, faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068;

‘I will not [fn]look ^H5307 upon you in ^H5307 anger ^H5307.

For I am One ^H2623 of ^H2623 lovingkindness ^H2623,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068;

‘I will not be ^H5201 angry ^H5201 forever ^H5769.

‘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.

“Then I said ^H559,

‘How ^H349 I would set ^H7896 you among [fn]My sons ^H1121

And give ^H5414 you a pleasant ^H2532 land ^H776,

The most ^H6643 beautiful ^H6643 inheritance ^H5159 of the nations ^H1471!’

And I said ^H559, ‘You shall call ^H7121 Me, “My Father ^H1,”

And not turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 from following ^H310 Me.’

“For this ^H2088, I gird ^H2296 myself with sackcloth ^H8242,

Lament ^H5594 and wail ^H3213;

For the burning ^H2740 anger ^H639 of Yahweh ^H3068

Has not turned ^H7725 back ^H7725 from us.”

In that time ^H6256 it will be said ^H559 to this ^H2088 people ^H5971 and to Jerusalem ^H3389, “A [fn]scorching ^H6703 wind ^H7307 from the bare ^H8205 heights ^H8205 in the wilderness ^H4057 along the way ^H1870 of the daughter ^H1323 of My people ^H5971—not to winnow ^H2219 and not to cleanse ^H1305,

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.

“For My people ^H5971 are ignorant ^H191 fools ^H191,

They know ^H3045 Me not;

They are simpleminded ^H5530 children ^H1121

And have ^H995 no ^H3808 understanding ^H995.

They are wise ^H2450 to do ^H7489 evil ^H7489,

But to do ^H3190 good ^H3190 they do not know ^H3045.”

For thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“The whole ^H3605 land ^H776 shall be a desolation ^H8077,

Yet I will not execute ^H6213 a complete ^H3617 destruction ^H3617.

“For this ^H2088 the earth ^H776 shall mourn ^H56

And the heavens ^H8064 above ^H4480 H4605 be dark ^H6937

Because ^H5921 H3588 I have spoken ^H1696; I have purposed ^H2161,

And I will not [fn]relent ^H5162, nor ^H3808 will I turn ^H7725 from it.”

Then I said ^H559, “They are only ^H389 the poor ^H1800;

They are ^H2973 foolish ^H2973;

For they do not know ^H3045 the way ^H1870 of Yahweh ^H3068

Or the legal judgment ^H4941 of their God ^H430.

“Why ^H335 should I pardon ^H5545 you?

Your sons ^H1121 have forsaken ^H5800 Me

And sworn ^H7650 by those who are not gods ^H430.

I had satisfied ^H7646 them to ^H7646 the ^H7646 full ^H7646,

Then they committed ^H5003 adultery ^H5003

And trooped ^H1413 to the harlot’s ^H2181 house ^H1004.

“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?

“Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 through her vine ^H8284 rows ^H8284 and make ^H7843 them a ruin ^H7843,

But do not make ^H6213 a complete ^H3617 destruction ^H3617;

Remove ^H5493 her branches ^H5189,

For they are not Yahweh’s ^H3068.

They have dealt ^H3584 falsely ^H3584 about Yahweh ^H3068

And said ^H559, “[fn]Not He;

Calamity ^H7451 will not come ^H935 on us,

And we will not see ^H7200 sword ^H2719 or famine ^H7458.

“Behold ^H2009, I am bringing ^H935 a nation ^H1471 against ^H5921 you from afar ^H4801, O house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“It is an enduring ^H386 nation ^H1471;

It is an ancient ^H5769 nation ^H1471,

A nation ^H1471 whose tongue ^H3956 you do not know ^H3045,

Nor ^H3808 can you [fn]understand ^H8085 what ^H4100 they say ^H1696.

“Yet even ^H1571 in those ^H1992 days ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068, “I will not make ^H6213 you a complete ^H3617 destruction ^H3617.

‘Now ^H4994 hear ^H8085 this ^H2088, O people ^H5971 who are simpleminded ^H5530 fools ^H5530 and without ^H369 a heart ^H3820 of wisdom,

Who have eyes ^H5869 but do not see ^H7200,

Who have ears ^H241 but do not hear ^H8085.

‘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.
