1 And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H3068" me|strong="H1697", saying|strong="H1697",

3 Israel|strong="H3478" was holiness|strong="H6944" unto|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068", the|strong="H3605" firstfruits|strong="H7225" of|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3605" increase|strong="H8393": all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3605" devour him|strong="H3605" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" held guilty; evil|strong="H7451" shall|strong="H3068" come|strong="H3478" upon|strong="H7451" them|strong="H3068", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068".
4 Hear|strong="H8085" ye|strong="H8085" the|strong="H3605" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1004" Jehovah|strong="H3068", O|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Jacob|strong="H3290", and|strong="H3478" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" families|strong="H4940" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Israel|strong="H3478":
5 Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068", What|strong="H4100" unrighteousness|strong="H5766" have|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" fathers found|strong="H4672" in|strong="H5921" me|strong="H5921", that|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" are|strong="H4100" gone|strong="H3212" far|strong="H7368" from|strong="H5921" me|strong="H5921", and|strong="H3068" have|strong="H3068" walked|strong="H3212" after|strong="H5921" vanity|strong="H1892", and|strong="H3068" are|strong="H4100" become vain|strong="H1892"?
6 Neither|strong="H3808" said they|strong="H8033", Where|strong="H8033" is|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3068" brought|strong="H5927" us|strong="H5674" up|strong="H5927" out|strong="H3212" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" land|strong="H6723" of|strong="H3068" Egypt|strong="H4714", that|strong="H3068" led|strong="H3212" us|strong="H5674" through|strong="H5674" the|strong="H3068" wilderness|strong="H4057", through|strong="H5674" a|strong="H3068" land|strong="H6723" of|strong="H3068" deserts|strong="H6160" and|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" pits|strong="H7745", through|strong="H5674" a|strong="H3068" land|strong="H6723" of|strong="H3068" drought|strong="H6723" and|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" shadow|strong="H6757" of|strong="H3068" death|strong="H6757", through|strong="H5674" a|strong="H3068" land|strong="H6723" that|strong="H3068" none|strong="H3808" passed|strong="H5674" through|strong="H5674", and|strong="H3068" where|strong="H8033" no|strong="H3808" man|strong="H5674" dwelt|strong="H3427"?
7 And|strong="H6529" I|strong="H7760" brought|strong="H7760" you|strong="H7760" into|strong="H7760" a|strong="H3068" plentiful|strong="H3759" land|strong="H5159", to|strong="H5159" eat the|strong="H7760" fruit|strong="H6529" thereof|strong="H6529" and|strong="H6529" the|strong="H7760" goodness|strong="H2898" thereof|strong="H6529"; but when ye entered, ye defiled|strong="H2930" my|strong="H7760" land|strong="H5159", and|strong="H6529" made|strong="H7760" my|strong="H7760" heritage|strong="H5159" an|strong="H7760" abomination|strong="H8441".
8 The|strong="H3068" priests|strong="H3548" said not|strong="H3808", Where|strong="H3808" is|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068"? and|strong="H1980" they|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3045" handle|strong="H8610" the|strong="H3068" law|strong="H8451" knew|strong="H3045" me|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808": the|strong="H3068" rulers|strong="H3548" also|strong="H3068" transgressed|strong="H6586" against|strong="H5012" me|strong="H3808", and|strong="H1980" the|strong="H3068" prophets|strong="H5030" prophesied|strong="H5012" by|strong="H3068" Baal|strong="H1168", and|strong="H1980" walked|strong="H1980" after|strong="H1980" things|strong="H3276" that|strong="H3045" do|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" profit|strong="H3276".
9 Wherefore|strong="H3651" I|strong="H3651" will|strong="H3068" yet|strong="H5750" contend|strong="H7378" with|strong="H3068" you|strong="H3651", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H1121" with|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" children|strong="H1121"’s children|strong="H1121" will|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3651" contend|strong="H7378".
10 For|strong="H3588" pass|strong="H5674" over|strong="H5674" to|strong="H7971" the|strong="H7200" isles of|strong="H7200" Kittim|strong="H3794", and|strong="H7971" see|strong="H7200"; and|strong="H7971" send|strong="H7971" unto|strong="H7971" Kedar|strong="H6938", and|strong="H7971" consider|strong="H7200" diligently|strong="H3966"; and|strong="H7971" see|strong="H7200" if|strong="H3588" there|strong="H1961" hath|strong="H3588" been|strong="H1961" such|strong="H2063" a|strong="H3068" thing|strong="H2063".
11 Hath|strong="H1471" a|strong="H3068" nation|strong="H1471" changed|strong="H4171" its gods, which|strong="H1471" yet|strong="H3808" are|strong="H1992" no|strong="H3808" gods? but|strong="H3808" my|strong="H3808" people|strong="H5971" have|strong="H5971" changed|strong="H4171" their|strong="H1992" glory|strong="H3519" for|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" which|strong="H1471" doth|strong="H5971" not|strong="H3808" profit|strong="H3276".

13 For|strong="H3588" my|strong="H6213" people|strong="H5971" have|strong="H5971" committed|strong="H6213" two|strong="H8147" evils|strong="H7451": they|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5971" forsaken|strong="H5800" me|strong="H6213", the|strong="H3588" fountain|strong="H4726" of|strong="H4325" living|strong="H2416" waters|strong="H4325", and|strong="H5971" hewed|strong="H2672" them|strong="H6213" out|strong="H2672" cisterns, broken|strong="H7665" cisterns, that|strong="H3588" can|strong="H6213" hold|strong="H3557" no|strong="H3808" water|strong="H4325".
14 Is|strong="H1931" Israel|strong="H3478" a|strong="H3068" servant|strong="H5650"? is|strong="H1931" he|strong="H1931" a|strong="H3068" homeborn|strong="H3211" slave? why|strong="H4069" is|strong="H1931" he|strong="H1931" become|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" prey?
15 The|strong="H5921" young|strong="H3715" lions|strong="H3715" have|strong="H5414" roared|strong="H7580" upon|strong="H5921" him|strong="H5414", and|strong="H6963" yelled|strong="H5414"; and|strong="H6963" they|strong="H5921" have|strong="H5414" made|strong="H5414" his|strong="H5414" land waste|strong="H8047": his|strong="H5414" cities|strong="H5892" are|strong="H5892" burned|strong="H3341" up|strong="H5414", without|strong="H1097" inhabitant|strong="H3427".

19 Thine|strong="H7200" own wickedness|strong="H7451" shall|strong="H3068" correct|strong="H3256" thee|strong="H7200", and|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" backslidings|strong="H4878" shall|strong="H3068" reprove|strong="H3198" thee|strong="H7200": know|strong="H3045" therefore|strong="H3588" and|strong="H3068" see|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3588" it|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3068" an|strong="H7200" evil|strong="H7451" thing|strong="H3588" and|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" bitter|strong="H4751", that|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3045" hast|strong="H3045" forsaken|strong="H5800" Jehovah|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3588" my|strong="H3068" fear|strong="H6345" is|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" in|strong="H3068" thee|strong="H7200", saith|strong="H5002" the|strong="H5002" Lord|strong="H3068", Jehovah|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635".
20 For|strong="H3588" of|strong="H6086" old|strong="H5769" time|strong="H5769" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H3605" broken|strong="H7665" thy|strong="H5921" yoke|strong="H5923", and|strong="H6086" burst|strong="H5423" thy|strong="H5921" bonds|strong="H4147"; and|strong="H6086" thou|strong="H3588" saidst, I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" serve|strong="H5647"; for|strong="H3588" upon|strong="H5921" every|strong="H3605" high|strong="H1364" hill|strong="H1389" and|strong="H6086" under|strong="H8478" every|strong="H3605" green|strong="H7488" tree|strong="H6086" thou|strong="H3588" didst bow thyself, playing|strong="H2181" the|strong="H3605" harlot|strong="H2181".
21 Yet|strong="H3605" I|strong="H3605" had|strong="H2015" planted|strong="H5193" thee a|strong="H3068" noble vine|strong="H1612", wholly|strong="H3605" a|strong="H3068" right seed|strong="H2233": how then|strong="H3605" art thou turned|strong="H2015" into|strong="H2015" the|strong="H3605" degenerate branches of|strong="H2233" a|strong="H3068" foreign|strong="H5237" vine|strong="H1612" unto|strong="H2233" me|strong="H5193"?

Have|strong="H1961" I|strong="H1697" been|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" wilderness|strong="H4057" unto|strong="H3068" Israel|strong="H3478"? or|strong="H3808" a|strong="H3068" land of|strong="H3068" thick|strong="H3991" darkness|strong="H3991"? wherefore|strong="H4069" say|strong="H1697" my|strong="H3068" people|strong="H5971", We|strong="H1697" are|strong="H5971" broken loose; we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" come|strong="H1961" no|strong="H3808" more|strong="H5750" unto|strong="H3068" thee|strong="H7200"?
32 Can a|strong="H3068" virgin|strong="H1330" forget|strong="H7911" her|strong="H7911" ornaments|strong="H5716", or|strong="H3117" a|strong="H3068" bride|strong="H3618" her|strong="H7911" attire|strong="H7196"? yet|strong="H3117" my|strong="H7911" people|strong="H5971" have|strong="H5971" forgotten|strong="H7911" me|strong="H7911" days|strong="H3117" without|strong="H3117" number|strong="H4557".
33 How|strong="H4100" trimmest|strong="H3190" thou|strong="H3651" thy|strong="H1245" way|strong="H1870" to|strong="H1870" seek|strong="H1245" love! therefore|strong="H3651" even|strong="H1571" the|strong="H1870" wicked|strong="H7451" women|strong="H7451" hast thou|strong="H3651" taught|strong="H3925" thy|strong="H1245" ways|strong="H1870".
34 Also|strong="H1571" in|strong="H5921" thy|strong="H5921" skirts|strong="H3671" is|strong="H5315" found|strong="H4672" the|strong="H3605" blood|strong="H1818" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" souls|strong="H5315" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" innocent|strong="H5355" poor: thou|strong="H3588" didst not|strong="H3808" find|strong="H4672" them|strong="H5921" breaking|strong="H4290" in|strong="H5921"; but|strong="H3588" it|strong="H5921" is|strong="H5315" because|strong="H3588" of|strong="H5921" all|strong="H3605" these|strong="H3605" things|strong="H3605".
35 Yet|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" saidst, I|strong="H3588" am|strong="H2005" innocent|strong="H5352"; surely|strong="H3588" his|strong="H7725" anger is|strong="H2398" turned|strong="H7725" away|strong="H7725" from|strong="H4480" me|strong="H7725". Behold|strong="H2005", I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3808" enter|strong="H8199" into|strong="H7725" judgment|strong="H8199" with|strong="H5921" thee|strong="H7725", because|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" sayest, I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H3588" not|strong="H3808" sinned|strong="H2398".
36 Why|strong="H4100" gaddest thou|strong="H4100" about|strong="H1870" so|strong="H1571" much|strong="H3966" to|strong="H4714" change|strong="H8138" thy|strong="H8138" way|strong="H1870"? thou|strong="H4100" shalt be|strong="H1571" ashamed of|strong="H1870" Egypt|strong="H4714" also|strong="H1571", as|strong="H1571" thou|strong="H4100" wast ashamed of|strong="H1870" Assyria.
37 From|strong="H3318" thence|strong="H3318" also|strong="H1571" shalt thou|strong="H3027" go|strong="H3318" forth|strong="H3318", with|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" hands|strong="H3027" upon|strong="H5921" thy|strong="H3068" head|strong="H7218": for|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" rejected|strong="H3988" those|strong="H5921" in|strong="H5921" whom|strong="H4009" thou|strong="H3027" trustest, and|strong="H3068" thou|strong="H3027" shalt not|strong="H3808" prosper|strong="H6743" with|strong="H3068" them|strong="H5921".
