1 Run|strong="H4941" ye|strong="H6213" to|strong="H6213" and|strong="H4941" fro|strong="H7751" through|strong="H7751" the|strong="H7200" streets|strong="H2351" of|strong="H2351" Jerusalem|strong="H3389", and|strong="H4941" see|strong="H7200" now|strong="H4994", and|strong="H4941" know|strong="H3045", and|strong="H4941" seek|strong="H1245" in|strong="H6213" the|strong="H7200" broad places|strong="H7339" thereof|strong="H4941", if|strong="H7200" ye|strong="H6213" can|strong="H6213" find|strong="H4672" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H3045", if|strong="H7200" there|strong="H3426" be|strong="H3426" any|strong="H3426" that|strong="H3045" doeth|strong="H6213" justly|strong="H4941", that|strong="H3045" seeketh|strong="H1245" truth; and|strong="H4941" I|strong="H3045" will|strong="H3389" pardon|strong="H5545" her|strong="H7200".
2 And|strong="H3068" though they|strong="H3651" say, As|strong="H3651" Jehovah|strong="H3068" liveth|strong="H2416"; surely|strong="H3651" they|strong="H3651" swear|strong="H7650" falsely|strong="H8267".
3 O|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068", do|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" thine|strong="H6440" eyes|strong="H5869" look|strong="H5869" upon|strong="H6440" truth|strong="H3808"? thou|strong="H6440" hast stricken|strong="H5221" them|strong="H7725", but|strong="H3808" they|strong="H3068" were|strong="H5869" not|strong="H3808" grieved|strong="H2342"; thou|strong="H6440" hast consumed|strong="H3615" them|strong="H7725", but|strong="H3808" they|strong="H3068" have|strong="H3068" refused|strong="H3985" to|strong="H7725" receive|strong="H3947" correction|strong="H4148": they|strong="H3068" have|strong="H3068" made|strong="H2388" their|strong="H3068" faces|strong="H6440" harder|strong="H2388" than|strong="H3808" a|strong="H3068" rock|strong="H5553"; they|strong="H3068" have|strong="H3068" refused|strong="H3985" to|strong="H7725" return|strong="H7725".
4 Then|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" said, Surely|strong="H3588" these|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" poor|strong="H1800"; they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" foolish|strong="H2973"; for|strong="H3588" they|strong="H1992" know|strong="H3045" not|strong="H3808" the|strong="H3588" way|strong="H1870" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068", nor|strong="H3808" the|strong="H3588" law|strong="H4941" of|strong="H3068" their|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068":

But|strong="H3588" these|strong="H1992" with|strong="H3068" one|strong="H3588" accord|strong="H3162" have|strong="H3068" broken|strong="H7665" the|strong="H3588" yoke|strong="H5923", and|strong="H3068" burst|strong="H5423" the|strong="H3588" bonds|strong="H4147".
6 Wherefore|strong="H3651" a|strong="H3068" lion out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3605" forest|strong="H3293" shall|strong="H5892" slay|strong="H5221" them|strong="H5921", a|strong="H3068" wolf|strong="H2061" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H3605" evenings|strong="H6160" shall|strong="H5892" destroy|strong="H7703" them|strong="H5921", a|strong="H3068" leopard|strong="H5246" shall|strong="H5892" watch|strong="H8245" against|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3605" cities|strong="H5892"; everyone|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3588" goeth|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" thence|strong="H3318" shall|strong="H5892" be|strong="H5892" torn|strong="H2963" in|strong="H5921" pieces|strong="H2963"; because|strong="H3588" their|strong="H3605" transgressions|strong="H6588" are|strong="H6588" many|strong="H7231", and their|strong="H3605" backslidings|strong="H4878" are|strong="H6588" increased|strong="H6105".
7 How can|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" pardon|strong="H5545" thee|strong="H5800"? thy|strong="H5800" children|strong="H1121" have|strong="H1121" forsaken|strong="H5800" me|strong="H5800", and|strong="H1121" sworn|strong="H7650" by|strong="H7650" them|strong="H1121" that|strong="H1121" are|strong="H1121" no|strong="H3808" gods.

8 they were|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1961" fed|strong="H2109" horses|strong="H5483" roaming at|strong="H1961" large; every one|strong="H1961" neighed|strong="H6670" after|strong="H1961" his|strong="H1961" neighbor|strong="H7453"’s wife.
9 Shall|strong="H3068" I|strong="H5921" not|strong="H3808" visit|strong="H6485" for|strong="H5921" these|strong="H2088" things|strong="H3808"? saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068"; and|strong="H3068" shall|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" my|strong="H3068" soul|strong="H5315" be|strong="H3808" avenged|strong="H5358" on|strong="H5921" such|strong="H2088" a|strong="H3068" nation|strong="H1471" as|strong="H5315" this|strong="H2088"?
10 Go|strong="H5927" ye|strong="H6213" up|strong="H5927" upon|strong="H5927" her|strong="H5493" walls|strong="H8284", and|strong="H3068" destroy|strong="H7843"; but|strong="H3588" make|strong="H6213" not|strong="H3808" a|strong="H3068" full|strong="H3617" end|strong="H3617": take|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493" her|strong="H5493" branches|strong="H5189"; for|strong="H3588" they|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" not|strong="H3808" Jehovah|strong="H3068"’s.
11 For|strong="H3588" the|strong="H5002" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Israel|strong="H3478" and|strong="H3063" the|strong="H5002" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Judah|strong="H3063" have|strong="H3068" dealt very treacherously against|strong="H3068" me|strong="H3588", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068".
12 They|strong="H3068" have|strong="H3068" denied|strong="H3584" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3068" said, It|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" he|strong="H1931"; neither|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3068" evil|strong="H7451" come upon|strong="H5921" us|strong="H5921"; neither|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3068" we|strong="H3068" see|strong="H7200" sword|strong="H2719" nor|strong="H3808" famine|strong="H7458":
13 and|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3541" prophets|strong="H5030" shall|strong="H5030" become|strong="H1961" wind|strong="H7307", and|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3541" word|strong="H1699" is|strong="H7307" not|strong="H6213" in|strong="H6213" them|strong="H6213": thus|strong="H3541" shall|strong="H5030" it|strong="H6213" be|strong="H1961" done|strong="H6213" unto|strong="H6213" them|strong="H6213".
14 Wherefore|strong="H3651" thus|strong="H3541" saith|strong="H1696" Jehovah|strong="H3068", the|strong="H5414" God|strong="H3068" of|strong="H3068" hosts|strong="H6635", Because|strong="H3282" ye|strong="H5414" speak|strong="H1696" this|strong="H2088" word|strong="H1697", behold|strong="H2005", I|strong="H2005" will|strong="H3068" make|strong="H5414" my|strong="H5414" words|strong="H1697" in|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" mouth|strong="H6310" fire, and|strong="H3068" this|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971" wood|strong="H6086", and|strong="H3068" it|strong="H5414" shall|strong="H3068" devour them|strong="H5414".
15 Lo|strong="H2005", I|strong="H2005" will|strong="H3068" bring|strong="H3045" a|strong="H3068" nation|strong="H1471" upon|strong="H5921" you|strong="H5921" from|strong="H5921" far|strong="H4801", O|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004" of|strong="H1004" Israel|strong="H3478", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068": it|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" mighty nation|strong="H1471", it|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068" an|strong="H3068" ancient|strong="H5769" nation|strong="H1471", a|strong="H3068" nation|strong="H1471" whose|strong="H1471" language|strong="H3956" thou|strong="H3045" knowest|strong="H3045" not|strong="H3808", neither|strong="H3808" understandest|strong="H8085" what|strong="H4100" they|strong="H3068" say|strong="H1696".

17 And|strong="H1121" they|strong="H2007" shall|strong="H1121" eat|strong="H3899" up|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" harvest|strong="H7105", and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" bread|strong="H3899", which thy|strong="H1121" sons|strong="H1121" and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" daughters|strong="H1323" should|strong="H1323" eat|strong="H3899"; they|strong="H2007" shall|strong="H1121" eat|strong="H3899" up|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" flocks|strong="H6629" and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" herds|strong="H1241"; they|strong="H2007" shall|strong="H1121" eat|strong="H3899" up|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" vines|strong="H1612" and|strong="H1121" thy|strong="H1121" fig|strong="H8384" trees|strong="H8384"; they|strong="H2007" shall|strong="H1121" beat down|strong="H7567" thy|strong="H1121" fortified|strong="H4013" cities|strong="H5892", wherein thou|strong="H2007" trustest, with|strong="H3899" the|strong="H1121" sword|strong="H2719".
18 But|strong="H3808" even|strong="H1571" in|strong="H3068" those|strong="H1992" days|strong="H3117", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068", I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H6213" a|strong="H3068" full|strong="H3117" end|strong="H3617" with|strong="H3068" you|strong="H3117".
19 And|strong="H3068" it|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H3068" come|strong="H1961" to|strong="H3068" pass|strong="H1961", when|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H6213" shall|strong="H3068" say, Wherefore|strong="H3651" hath|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068" done|strong="H6213" all|strong="H3605" these|strong="H6213" things|strong="H3605" unto|strong="H6213" us|strong="H6213"? then|strong="H1961" shalt thou|strong="H6213" say unto|strong="H6213" them|strong="H6213", Like|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1961" ye|strong="H6213" have|strong="H1961" forsaken|strong="H5800" me|strong="H6213", and|strong="H3068" served|strong="H5647" foreign|strong="H5236" gods in|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" land, so|strong="H3651" shall|strong="H3068" ye|strong="H6213" serve|strong="H5647" strangers|strong="H2114" in|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" land that|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" yours.
