|
1. Woe H1945 be unto the pastors H7462 that destroy H6 and scatter H6327 H853 the sheep H6629 of my pasture H4830 ! saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
2. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
|
2. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 against H5921 the pastors H7462 that feed H7462 H853 my people H5971 ; Ye H859 have scattered H6327 H853 my flock H6629 , and driven them away H5080 , and have not H3808 visited H6485 them: behold H2009 , I will visit H6485 upon H5921 you H853 the evil H7455 of your doings H4611 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
3. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
|
3. And I H589 will gather H6908 H853 the remnant H7611 of my flock H6629 out of all H4480 H3605 countries H776 whither H834 H8033 I have driven H5080 them , and will bring them again H7725 H853 to H5921 their folds H5116 ; and they shall be fruitful H6509 and increase H7235 .
|
|
4. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
|
4. And I will set up H6965 shepherds H7462 over H5921 them which shall feed H7462 them : and they shall fear H3372 no H3808 more H5750 , nor H3808 be dismayed H2865 , neither H3808 shall they be lacking H6485 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
5. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
|
5. Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that I will raise H6965 unto David H1732 a righteous H6662 Branch H6780 , and a King H4428 shall reign H4427 and prosper H7919 , and shall execute H6213 judgment H4941 and justice H6666 in the earth H776 .
|
|
6. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
|
6. In his days H3117 Judah H3063 shall be saved H3467 , and Israel H3478 shall dwell H7931 safely H983 : and this H2088 is his name H8034 whereby H834 he shall be called H7121 , THE LORD H3068 OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS H6664 .
|
|
7. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
|
7. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that they shall no H3808 more H5750 say H559 , The LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , which H834 brought up H5927 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 ;
|
|
8. But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
|
8. But H3588 H518 , The LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , which H834 brought up H5927 and which H834 led H935 H853 the seed H2233 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 out of the north H6828 country H4480 H776 , and from all H4480 H3605 countries H776 whither H834 H8033 I had driven H5080 them ; and they shall dwell H3427 in H5921 their own land H127 .
|
|
9. Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
|
9. Mine heart H3820 within H7130 me is broken H7665 because of the prophets H5030 ; all H3605 my bones H6106 shake H7363 ; I am H1961 like a drunken H7910 man H376 , and like a man H1397 whom wine H3196 hath overcome H5674 , because H4480 H6440 of the LORD H3068 , and because H4480 H6440 of the words H1697 of his holiness H6944 .
|
|
10. For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
|
10. For H3588 the land H776 is full H4390 of adulterers H5003 ; for H3588 because H4480 H6440 of swearing H423 the land H776 mourneth H56 ; the pleasant places H4999 of the wilderness H4057 are dried up H3001 , and their course H4794 is H1961 evil H7451 , and their force H1369 is not H3808 right H3651 .
|
|
11. For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
|
11. For H3588 both H1571 prophet H5030 and H1571 priest H3548 are profane H2610 ; yea H1571 , in my house H1004 have I found H4672 their wickedness H7451 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
|
12. Wherefore H3651 their way H1870 shall be H1961 unto them as slippery H2519 ways in the darkness H653 : they shall be driven on H1760 , and fall H5307 therein: for H3588 I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H5921 them, even the year H8141 of their visitation H6486 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
13. And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
|
13. And I have seen H7200 folly H8604 in the prophets H5030 of Samaria H8111 ; they prophesied H5012 in Baal H1168 , and caused H853 my people H5971 H853 Israel H3478 to err H8582 .
|
|
14. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
|
14. I have seen H7200 also in the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389 a horrible thing H8186 : they commit adultery H5003 , and walk H1980 in lies H8267 : they strengthen H2388 also the hands H3027 of evildoers H7489 , that none H1115 H376 doth return H7725 from his wickedness H4480 H7451 : they are H1961 all H3605 of them unto me as Sodom H5467 , and the inhabitants H3427 thereof as Gomorrah H6017 .
|
|
15. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
|
15. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 concerning H5921 the prophets H5030 ; Behold H2009 , I will feed H398 them with wormwood H3939 , and make them drink H8248 the water H4325 of gall H7219 : for H3588 from H4480 H854 the prophets H5030 of Jerusalem H3389 is profaneness H2613 gone forth H3318 into all H3605 the land H776 .
|
|
16. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
|
16. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , Hearken H8085 not H408 unto H5921 the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 unto you : they make you vain H1891 H853 : they H1992 speak H1696 a vision H2377 of their own heart H3820 , and not H3808 out of the mouth H4480 H6310 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
17. They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
|
17. They say still H559 H559 unto them that despise H5006 me , The LORD H3068 hath said H1696 , Ye shall have H1961 peace H7965 ; and they say H559 unto every one H3605 that walketh H1980 after the imagination H8307 of his own heart H3820 , No H3808 evil H7451 shall come H935 upon H5921 you.
|
|
18. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
|
18. For H3588 who H4310 hath stood H5975 in the counsel H5475 of the LORD H3068 , and hath perceived H7200 and heard H8085 H853 his word H1697 ? who H4310 hath marked H7181 his word H1697 , and heard H8085 it ?
|
|
19. Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
|
19. Behold H2009 , a whirlwind H5591 of the LORD H3068 is gone forth H3318 in fury H2534 , even a grievous H2342 whirlwind H5591 : it shall fall grievously H2342 upon H5921 the head H7218 of the wicked H7563 .
|
|
20. The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
|
20. The anger H639 of the LORD H3068 shall not H3808 return H7725 , until H5704 he have executed H6213 , and till H5704 he have performed H6965 the thoughts H4209 of his heart H3820 : in the latter H319 days H3117 ye shall consider H995 it perfectly H998 .
|
|
21. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
|
21. I have not H3808 sent H7971 H853 these prophets H5030 , yet they H1992 ran H7323 : I have not H3808 spoken H1696 to H413 them , yet they H1992 prophesied H5012 .
|
|
22. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
|
22. But if H518 they had stood H5975 in my counsel H5475 , and had caused H853 my people H5971 to hear H8085 my words H1697 , then they should have turned H7725 them from their evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 , and from the evil H4480 H7455 of their doings H4611 .
|
|
23. Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
|
23. Am I H589 a God H430 at hand H4480 H7138 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , and not H3808 a God H430 afar off H4480 H7350 ?
|
|
24. Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
|
24. Can H518 any H376 hide himself H5641 in secret places H4565 that I H589 shall not H3808 see H7200 him? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 . Do not H3808 I H589 fill H4390 H853 heaven H8064 and earth H776 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
25. I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
|
25. I have heard H8085 H853 what H834 the prophets H5030 said H559 , that prophesy H5012 lies H8267 in my name H8034 , saying H559 , I have dreamed H2492 , I have dreamed H2492 .
|
|
26. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
|
26. How long H5704 H4970 shall this be H3426 in the heart H3820 of the prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 lies H8267 ? yea, they are prophets H5030 of the deceit H8649 of their own heart H3820 ;
|
|
27. Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
|
27. Which think H2803 to cause H853 my people H5971 to forget H7911 my name H8034 by their dreams H2472 which H834 they tell H5608 every man H376 to his neighbor H7453 , as H834 their fathers H1 have forgotten H7911 H853 my name H8034 for Baal H1168 .
|
|
28. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
|
28. The prophet H5030 that H834 H854 hath a dream H2472 , let him tell H5608 a dream H2472 ; and he that H834 H854 hath my word H1697 , let him speak H1696 my word H1697 faithfully H571 . What H4100 is the chaff H8401 to H854 the wheat H1250 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
29. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
|
29. Is not H3808 my word H1697 like H3541 as a fire H784 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; and like a hammer H6360 that breaketh H6327 the rock H5553 in pieces?
|
|
30. Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
|
30. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , I am against H5921 the prophets H5030 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that steal H1589 my words H1697 every one H376 from H4480 H854 his neighbor H7453 .
|
|
31. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
|
31. Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 the prophets H5030 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that use H3947 their tongues H3956 , and say H5001 , He saith H5002 .
|
|
32. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
|
32. Behold H2009 , I am against H5921 them that prophesy H5012 false H8267 dreams H2472 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , and do tell H5608 them , and cause H853 my people H5971 to err H8582 by their lies H8267 , and by their lightness H6350 ; yet I H595 sent H7971 them not H3808 , nor H3808 commanded H6680 them : therefore they shall not H3808 profit this people at all H3276 H3276 H5971 H2088 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
33. And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
|
33. And when H3588 this H2088 people H5971 , or H176 the prophet H5030 , or H176 a priest H3548 , shall ask H7592 thee, saying H559 , What H4100 is the burden H4853 of the LORD H3068 ? thou shalt then say H559 unto H413 them, H853 What H4100 burden H4853 ? I will even forsake H5203 you, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
34. And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
|
34. And as for the prophet H5030 , and the priest H3548 , and the people H5971 , that H834 shall say H559 , The burden H4853 of the LORD H3068 , I will even punish H6485 H5921 that H1931 man H376 and his house H1004 .
|
|
35. Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
|
35. Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 every one H376 to H5921 his neighbor H7453 , and every one H376 to H413 his brother H251 , What H4100 hath the LORD H3068 answered H6030 ? and, What H4100 hath the LORD H3068 spoken H1696 ?
|
|
36. And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
|
36. And the burden H4853 of the LORD H3068 shall ye mention H2142 no H3808 more H5750 : for H3588 every man H376 's word H1697 shall be H1961 his burden H4853 ; for ye have perverted H2015 H853 the words H1697 of the living H2416 God H430 , of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 our God H430 .
|
|
37. Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
|
37. Thus H3541 shalt thou say H559 to H413 the prophet H5030 , What H4100 hath the LORD H3068 answered H6030 thee? and, What H4100 hath the LORD H3068 spoken H1696 ?
|
|
38. But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
|
38. But since H518 ye say H559 , The burden H4853 of the LORD H3068 ; therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Because H3282 ye say H559 H853 this H2088 word H1697 , The burden H4853 of the LORD H3068 , and I have sent H7971 unto H413 you, saying H559 , Ye shall not H3808 say H559 , The burden H4853 of the LORD H3068 ;
|
|
39. Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
|
39. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , I , even I , will utterly forget H5382 H5382 you , and I will forsake H5203 you , and the city H5892 that H834 I gave H5414 you and your fathers H1 , and cast you out of H4480 H5921 my presence H6440 :
|
|
40. And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
|
40. And I will bring H5414 an everlasting H5769 reproach H2781 upon H5921 you , and a perpetual H5769 shame H3640 , which H834 shall not H3808 be forgotten H7911 .
