Let them rise up and save you
in your time of disaster if they can,
for your gods are as numerous as your cities, Judah.
Evil generation,
pay attention to the word of the LORD!
Have I been a wilderness to Israel
or a land of dense darkness?
Why do my people claim,
“We will go where we want;[fn]
we will no longer come to you”?

Will he be endlessly infuriated? ”

but you have done the evil things
you are capable of.

Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?
“Do you not fear me?
This is the LORD’s declaration.
Do you not tremble before me,
the one who set the sand as the boundary of the sea,
an enduring barrier that it cannot cross?

Do people fall and not get up again?
If they turn away, do they not return?
Listen — the cry of my dear people
from a faraway land,
“Is the LORD no longer in Zion,
her King not within her? ”
Why have they angered me
with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?
Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
So why has the healing of my dear people
not come about?
Should I not punish them for these things?

my innermost being will weep in secret
because of your pride.
My eyes will overflow with tears,
for the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.

For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah:
“You are like Gilead to me,
or the summit of Lebanon,
but I will certainly turn you into a wilderness,
uninhabited cities.

except your own dishonest profit,
shedding innocent blood
and committing extortion and oppression.
“As I live” — this is the LORD’s declaration — “though you, Coniah[fn] son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would tear you from it.

If they are indeed prophets and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them intercede with the LORD of Armies not to let the articles that remain in the LORD’s temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem go to Babylon.’
