1. At that H1931 time H6256 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , they shall bring out H3318 H853 the bones H6106 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 , and the bones H6106 of his princes H8269 , and the bones H6106 of the priests H3548 , and the bones H6106 of the prophets H5030 , and the bones H6106 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , out of their graves H4480 H6913 :

2. and they shall Lit. cool or refresh; See 2 Sa 17:19 spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped; they shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,
|
2. And they shall spread H7849 them before the sun H8121 , and the moon H3394 , and all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 , whom H834 they have loved H157 , and whom H834 they have served H5647 , and after H310 whom H834 they have walked H1980 , and whom H834 they have sought H1875 , and whom H834 they have worshiped H7812 : they shall not H3808 be gathered H622 , nor H3808 be buried H6912 ; they shall be H1961 for dung H1828 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H127 .

3. because they chose death rather than life, even to all the remnant that are left of that family, in every place whither I shall drive them out.
|
3. And death H4194 shall be chosen H977 rather than life H4480 H2416 by all H3605 the residue H7611 of them that remain H7604 of H4480 this H2063 evil H7451 family H4940 , which remain H7604 in all H3605 the places H4725 whither H834 H8033 I have driven H5080 them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .

4. For thus saith the Lord, Gr. does not Shall not he that falls arise? or he that turns away, shall he not turn back again?
|
4. Moreover thou shalt say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Shall they fall H5307 , and not H3808 arise H6965 ? shall he turn away H7725 , and not H3808 return H7725 ?
|
|
5. Wherefore has this my people turned away with a shameless revolting, and strengthened themselves in their willfulness, and refused to return?
|
5. Why H4069 then is this H2088 people H5971 of Jerusalem H3389 slid back H7725 by a perpetual H5329 backsliding H4878 ? they hold fast H2388 deceit H8649 , they refuse H3985 to return H7725 .
|
|
6. Hearken, I pray you, and hear: will they not speak thus, There is no man that repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? the runner has failed from his course, as a tired horse in his neighing.
|
6. I hearkened H7181 and heard H8085 , but they spoke H1696 not H3808 aright H3651 : no H369 man H376 repented H5162 him of H5921 his wickedness H7451 , saying H559 , What H4100 have I done H6213 ? every one H3605 turned H7725 to his course H4794 , as the horse H5483 rusheth H7857 into the battle H4421 .
|
|
7. Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her time, also the turtle-dove and wild swallow; the sparrows observe the times of their coming in; but this my people knows not the judgements of the Lord.
|
7. Yea H1571 , the stork H2624 in the heaven H8064 knoweth H3045 her appointed times H4150 ; and the turtle H8449 and the crane H5483 and the swallow H5693 observe H8104 H853 the time H6256 of their coming H935 ; but my people H5971 know H3045 not H3808 H853 the judgment H4941 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
8. How will ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? In vain have the scribes used a false pen.
|
8. How H349 do ye say H559 , We H587 are wise H2450 , and the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 is with H854 us? Lo H2009 , certainly H403 in vain H8267 made H6213 he it ; the pen H5842 of the scribes H5608 is in vain H8267 .
|
|
9. The wise men are ashamed, and alarmed, and taken; because they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is there in them?
|
9. The wise H2450 men are ashamed H954 , they are dismayed H2865 and taken H3920 : lo H2009 , they have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 ; and what H4100 wisdom H2451 is in them?

|
10. Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to new inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, saith the Lord.
|
10. Therefore H3651 will I give H5414 H853 their wives H802 unto others H312 , and their fields H7704 to them that shall inherit H3423 them : for H3588 every one H3605 from the least H4480 H6996 even unto H5704 the greatest H1419 is given to covetousness H1214 H1215 , from the prophet H4480 H5030 even unto H5704 the priest H3548 every one H3605 dealeth H6213 falsely H8267 .

11. For they have healed H7495 H853 the hurt H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 slightly H7043 , saying H559 , Peace H7965 , peace H7965 ; when there is no H369 peace H7965 .

12. Were they ashamed H954 when H3588 they had committed H6213 abomination H8441 ? nay H1571 , they were not H3808 at all ashamed H954 H954 , neither H3808 could H3045 they blush H3637 : therefore H3651 shall they fall H5307 among them that fall H5307 : in the time H6256 of their visitation H6486 they shall be cast down H3782 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 .

|
13. There are no grapes on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig-trees, and the leaves have fallen off.
|
13. I will surely consume H5486 H5486 them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : there shall be no H369 grapes H6025 on the vine H1612 , nor H369 figs H8384 on the fig tree H8384 , and the leaf H5929 shall fade H5034 ; and the things that I have given H5414 them shall pass away H5674 from them.
|
|
14. Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be cast out there: for God has cast us out, and made us drink water of gall, because we have sinned before him.
|
14. Why H4100 H5921 do we H587 sit H3427 still? assemble yourselves H622 , and let us enter H935 into H413 the defensed H4013 cities H5892 , and let us be silent H1826 there H8033 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 our God H430 hath put us to silence H1826 , and given us water H4325 of gall H7219 to drink H8248 , because H3588 we have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. We assembled for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, but behold anxiety.
|
15. We looked H6960 for peace H7965 , but no H369 good H2896 came; and for a time H6256 of health H4832 , and behold H2009 trouble H1205 !
|
|
16. We shall hear the neighing of his swift horses out of Dan: the whole land quaked at the sound of the Gr. of the riding of his horses neighing of his horses; and he shall come, and devour the land and the fullness of it; the city, and them that dwell in it.
|
16. The snorting H5170 of his horses H5483 was heard H8085 from Dan H4480 H1835 : the whole H3605 land H776 trembled H7493 at the sound H4480 H6963 of the neighing H4684 of his strong ones H47 ; for they are come H935 , and have devoured H398 the land H776 , and all H4393 that is in it ; the city H5892 , and those that dwell H3427 therein.
|

17. For, behold, I send forth against you deadly serpents, which cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you
|
17. For H3588 , behold H2009 , I will send H7971 serpents H5175 , cockatrices H6848 , among you, which H834 will not H369 be charmed H3908 , and they shall bite H5391 you, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .

18. mortally with the pain of your distressed heart.
|
18. When I would comfort H4010 myself against H5921 sorrow H3015 , my heart H3820 is faint H1742 in H5921 me.
|
|
19. Behold, there is a sound of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off: Is not the Lord in Sion? is there not a king there? because they have provoked me with their graven images, and with strange vanities.
|
19. Behold H2009 the voice H6963 of the cry H7775 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 because of them that dwell in a far H4801 country H4480 H776 : Is not H369 the LORD H3068 in Zion H6726 ? is not H369 her king H4428 in her? Why H4069 have they provoked me to anger H3707 with their graven images H6456 , and with strange H5236 vanities H1892 ?

20. The summer is gone, the harvest is past, and we are not saved.
|
20. The harvest H7105 is past H5674 , the summer H7019 is ended H3615 , and we H587 are not H3808 saved H3467 .
|
|
21. For the breach of the daughter of my people I have been saddened: in my perplexity pangs have seized upon me as of a woman in travail.
|
21. For H5921 the hurt H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 am I hurt H7665 ; I am black H6937 ; astonishment H8047 hath taken hold H2388 on me.
|
|
22. And is there no balm in Galaad, or is there no physician there? why has not the healing of the daughter of my people taken place?
|
22. Is there no H369 balm H6875 in Gilead H1568 ; is there no H369 physician H7495 there H8033 ? why H4069 then H3588 is not H3808 the health H724 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 recovered H5927 ?
