1: Moreover cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 to meH0413 saying,H0559

2: goH1980 and cryH7121 in the hearingH0241 of Jerusalem,H3389 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3069 I rememberH2142 the kindnessH2617 of your youth,H5271 the loveH0160 of your betrothal,H3623 when you wentH1980 after MeH0310 in the wilderness,H4057 in a landH0776 notH3808 sown.H2232

3: HolinessH6944 Israel [was]H3478 to Yahweh,H3068 the firstfruitsH7225 of His increase.H8393 AllH3605 that devour himH0398 will offend-H0816 DisasterH7451 will comeH0935 upon themH0413 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

4: HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 and allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the houseH1004 of Israel.H3478

5: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 whatH4100 have foundH4672 your fathersH0001 injusticeH5766 thatH3588 they have gone farH7368 from MeH5921 and haveH1980 followedH0310 idols,H1892 and have become idolaters?H1891

6: and neitherH3808 did they sayH0559 where [is]H0346 YahwehH3068 who brought upH5927 usH0853 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 who ledH1980 usH0853 through the wilderness,H4057 Through a landH0776 of desertsH6160 and pits,H7745 Through a landH0776 of drought,H6723 and the shadow of death,H6757 Through a landH0776 noH3808 that crossed,H5674 oneH0376 and noH3808 dwelt?H3427 oneH0120 where.H8033

7: And I broughtH0935 youH0853 intoH0413 a country,H0776 bountifulH3759 to eatH0398 its fruitH6529 and its goodnessH2898 but when you entered,H0935 and you defiledH2930 -H0853 My land,H0776 and My heritageH5159 madeH7760 an abomination.H8441

8: The priestsH3548 not,H3808 did sayH0559 where [is]H0346 Yahweh?H3068 and those who handleH8610 the lawH8451 not-H3808 did know MeH3045 and the rulersH7462 transgressedH6586 and the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 by Baal,H1168 and after [things]H0310 notH3808 [that] do profitH3276 walked.H1980

9: ThereforeH3651 yetH5750 I will bring chargesH7378 against youH0854 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 and againstH0854 childrenH1121 your children'sH1121 I will bring charges.H7378

10: ForH3588 pass beyondH5674 the coastsH0339 of Cyprus,H3794 and see-H7200 and to Kedar,H6938 SendH7971 and considerH0995 diligently,H3966 and seeH7200 ifH2005 there has beenH1961 such [a [thing].H2063

11: Has changedH4171 a nationH1471 [its] gods,H0430 and they [are]H1992 notH3808 gods?H0430 but My peopleH5971 have changedH4171 their GloryH3519 for notH1094 [what] does profit.H3276

12: Be astonished,H8074 heavens,H8064 atH5921 this,H2063 and be horribly afraid,H8175 Be desolate,H2717 veryH3966 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

13: ForH3588 twoH8147 evils-H7451 have committedH6213 My peopleH5971 MeH0853 they have forsakenH5800 the fountainH4726 of waters,H4325 livingH2416 [And] hewnH2672 cisternsH0877 cisterns,H0877 brokenH7665 thatH0834 noH3808 can holdH3557 water.H4325

14: [Is] a servant?H5650 IsraelH3478 [Is]H0518 bornH3211 a homeborn [slave]H1004 heH1931 whyH4069 is heH1961 plundered?H0957

15: at himH5921 roaredH7580 the young lionsH3715 [and] growledH5414 -,H6963 and they madeH7896 his landH0776 waste-H8047 His citiesH5892 are burnedH3341 withoutH1097 inhabitant.H3427

16: AlsoH1571 the people ofH1121 NophH5297 and TahpanhesH8471 have brokenH7462 the crown of your head.H6936

17: have notH3808 thisH2063 you broughtH6213 in that you have forsakenH5800 -H0853 YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 whenH6256 He led youH1980 in the way?H1870

18: nowH6258 whyH4100 the road toH1870 Egypt,H4714 to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of Shihor?H7883 Or whyH4100 the road toH1870 Assyria,H0804 to drinkH8354 the watersH4325 of the River?H5104

19: will correct youH3256 Your own wickednessH7451 and your backslidingsH4878 will rebuke youH3198 therefore KnowH3045 and seeH7200 thatH3588 [it is] an evilH7451 and bitter [thing],H4751 that you have forsakenH5800 -H0853 YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 and [is] notH3808 the fear of MeH6345 in youH0413 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GODH3069 of hosts.H6635

20: ForH3588 of oldH5769 I have brokenH7665 your yoke,H5923 [and] burstH5423 your bonds-H4147 and you said,H0559 notH3808 I will transgressH5647 whenH3588 onH5921 everyH3605 hillH1389 highH1364 and underH8478 everyH3605 treeH6086 greenH7488 YouH0859 lay down,H6808 [playing] the harlot.H2181

21: And yet IH0595 had planted youH5193 a noble vine,H8321 whollyH3605 a seed.H2233 Of highest qualityH0571 then howH0349 have you turnedH2015 Into the degenerate plantH5494 of vineH1612 a sojourner.H5237

22: ForH3588 thoughH0518 you wash yourselfH3526 with lye,H5427 and use muchH7235 soap,H1287 [Yet] is markedH3799 your iniquityH5771 before MeH6440 saysH5002 the LordH0136 GOD.H3069

23: HowH0349 can you say,H0559 notH3808 I am polluted,H2930 afterH0310 the Baals?H1168 notH3808 I have goneH1980 SeeH7200 your wayH1870 in the valley,H1516 KnowH3045 whatH4100 you have done!H6213 [You are] a dromedaryH1072 swiftH7031 breaking looseH8308 in her ways-H1870

24: a wild donkeyH6501 used toH3928 the wilderness,H4057 in the desire-H0185 her soul-H5315 [That] sniffs atH7602 the windH7307 in her desireH8385 whoH4310 can turn her away?H7725 allH3605 those who seek herH1245 notH3808 will weary themselvesH3286 in her monthH2320 they will find her.H4672

25: WithholdH4513 your footH7272 from being unshod,H3182 and your throatH1637 from thirst-H6773 but you said,H0559 there is no hope!H2976 No-H3808 forH3588 I have lovedH0157 aliens,H2114 and after themH0310 I will go.H1980

26: As is ashamedH1322 the thiefH1590 whenH3588 he is found out,H4672 soH3651 is ashamed-H0954 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 they,H1992 and their kings,H4428 and their princes,H8269 and their priests,H3548 and their prophets,H5030

27: SayingH0559 to a tree,H6086 my father-H0001 You [are]H0859 and to a stone,H0068 YouH0859 gave birth to me-H3205 forH3588 they have turnedH6437 to MeH0413 [their] backH6203 and notH3808 [their] face-H6440 but in the timeH6256 of their troubleH7451 they will say,H0559 Arise,H6965 and save us.H3467

28: But where [are]H0346 your godsH0430 thatH0834 you have madeH6213 let them arise,H6965 ifH0518 they can save youH3467 in the timeH6256 of your trouble-H7451 for [according to]H3588 the numberH4557 of your citiesH5892 AreH1961 your gods,H0430 Judah.H3063

29: WhyH4100 will you pleadH7378 with MeH0413 You allH3605 have transgressedH6586 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

30: In vainH7723 I have chastenedH5221 -H0853 your children-H1121 correction.H4148 NoH3808 they receivedH3947 has devouredH0398 Your swordH2719 your prophets,H5030 Like a lionH0738 destroying.H7843

31: Generation,H1755 youH0859 seeH7200 the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068 Have a wildernessH4057 I beenH1961 to Israel?H3478 OrH0518 a landH0776 of darkness?H3991 whyH4069 do sayH0559 My people,H5971 we are lords-H7300 noH3808 we will comeH0935 moreH5750 to You.H0413

32: Can forgetH7911 a virginH1330 her ornaments,H5716 [Or] a brideH3618 her attire?H7196 and yet My peopleH5971 have forgotten MeH7911 daysH3117 withoutH0369 number.H4557

33: WhyH4100 do you beautifyH3190 your wayH1870 to seekH1245 love?H0160 thereforeH3651 alsoH1571 -H0853 the wicked womenH7451 you have taughtH3925 -H0853 your ways.H1870

34: AlsoH1571 on your skirtsH3671 is foundH4672 the bloodH1818 of the livesH5315 of the poorH0034 innocents-H5355 notH3808 by secret search,H4290 I have found itH4672 butH3588 plainly onH5921 allH3605 these things.H0428

35: And yet you say,H0559 becauseH3588 I am innocent,H5352 surelyH0389 shall turnH7725 His angerH0639 from meH4480 behold IH2005 will plead My case againstH8199 youH0854 becauseH5921 you say,H0559 notH3808 I have sinned.H2398

36: WhyH4100 do you gad aboutH0235 so muchH3966 to changeH8138 -H0853 your way?H1870 AlsoH1571 of EgyptH4714 you shall be ashamedH0954 asH0834 you were ashamedH0954 of Assyria.H0804

37: Indeed,H1571 fromH0853 this [one],H2088 you will go forthH3318 and with your handsH3027 onH5921 your head-H7218 forH3588 has rejectedH3988 YahwehH3068 your trusted allies,H4009 and notH3808 you will prosperH6743
