4: Will notH3808 from this timeH6258 you cryH7121 My father,H0001 the guideH0441 of my youthH5271 You [are]?H0859

5: will He remain angryH5201 forever?H5769 loH0518 will He keep itH8104 to the end?H5331 behold,H2009 you have spokenH1696 and doneH6213 evil thingsH7451 and as you were able.H3201

7: And I saidH0559 afterH0310 she had doneH6213 -H0853 allH3605 these [things]H0428 to MeH0413 ReturnH7725 but not.H3808 She did returnH7725 and saw itH7200 treacherousH0901 her sisterH0269 Judah.H3063

8: And I saw,H7200 thatH3588 forH5921 allH3605 the causesH0182 for whichH0834 had committed adulteryH5003 backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 I had put her away,H7971 and givenH5414 -H0853 a certificateH5612 of divorce-H3748 herH0413 and yet not,H3808 did fearH3372 treacherousH0898 JudahH3063 her sisterH0269 but wentH1980 and played the harlotH2181 alsoH1571 she.H1931

10: And yetH1571 for allH3605 thisH2063 notH3808 has turnedH7725 to MeH0413 treacherousH0901 her sisterH0269 JudahH3063 with wholeH3605 her heart,H3820 butH3588 andH0518 in pretense,H8267 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

11: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 has shown righteousH6663 herselfH5315 BackslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 more than treacherousH0898 Judah.H3063

12: GoH1980 and proclaimH7121 -H0853 wordsH1697 theseH0428 toward the north,H6828 and say,H0559 Return,H7725 backslidingH4878 Israel,H3478 saysH5002 Yahweh-H3068 notH3808 I will cause to fallH5307 My angerH6440 forH3588 merciful,H2623 I [am]H0589 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 notH3808 I will remain angryH5201 forever.H5769

13: OnlyH0389 acknowledgeH3045 your iniquity,H5771 thatH3588 against YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 that you have transgressedH6586 and have scatteredH6340 -H0853 your charmsH1870 to alien deitiesH2114 underH8478 everyH3605 tree,H6086 greenH7488 and My voice,H6963 notH3808 you have obeyedH8085 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

14: Return,H7725 children,H1121 backslidingH7726 saysH5002 Yahweh-H3068 forH3588 IH0595 am marriedH1166 and I will takeH3947 youH0853 oneH0259 from a city,H5892 and twoH8147 from a family,H4940 and I will bringH0935 youH0853 to Zion-H6726

15: and I will giveH5414 shepherdsH7462 according to My heart,H3820 and who will feedH7462 youH0853 with knowledgeH1844 and understanding.H7919

16: And it shall come to pass,H1961 whenH3588 you are multipliedH7235 and increasedH6509 in the land,H0776 in days,H3117 thoseH1992 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 noH3808 that they will sayH0559 more,H5750 the arkH0727 of the covenantH1285 of Yahweh-H3068 and notH3808 it shall comeH5927 toH5921 mind,H3820 norH3808 shall they rememberH2142 norH3808 shall they visit [it]H6485 norH3808 shall it be madeH6213 anymore.H5750

17: At timeH6256 thatH1931 shall be calledH7121 JerusalemH3389 the ThroneH3678 of Yahweh-H3068 and shall be gatheredH6960 to itH0413 allH3605 the nationsH1471 to the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 to Jerusalem,H3389 and NoH3808 shall they followH1980 moreH5750 afterH0310 the dictatesH8307 of their heartsH3820 evil.H7451

18: In daysH3117 thoseH1992 shall walkH1980 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 withH5921 the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 and they shall comeH0935 togetherH3162 out of the landH0776 of the northH6828 toH5921 the landH0776 thatH0834 I have given as an inheritanceH5157 -H0853 to your fathers.H0001

19: But IH0595 said,H0559 howH0349 can I put youH7896 among the sons,H1121 and giveH5414 a land,H0776 pleasantH2532 a heritageH5159 of beautifulH6643 the hostsH6635 of nations?H1471 and I said,H0559 My Father-H0001 You shall callH7121 MeH7121 and from MeH0310 notH3808 turn away.H7725

20: SurelyH0403 treacherously departsH0898 [as] a wifeH0802 from her husbandH7453 soH3651 have you dealt treacherouslyH0898 houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

21: A voiceH6963 onH5921 the desolate heights,H8205 was heardH8085 WeepingH1065 [and] supplicationsH8469 of the sonsH1121 of Israel-H3478 forH3588 they have pervertedH5753 -H0853 their way,H1870 they have forgottenH7911 -H0853 YahwehH3068 their God.H0430

22: And Return you,H7725 children,H1121 backslidingH7726 [And] I will healH7495 your backslidings.H4878 Indeed weH2005 do comeH0857 forH3588 You [are]H0859 YahwehH3068 our God.H0430

23: TrulyH0403 in vain [is salvation hoped for]H8267 from the hills,H1389 [And from] the multitudeH1995 of mountains.H2022 TrulyH0403 in YahwehH3068 our GodH0430 [Is] the salvationH8668 of Israel.H3478

24: For shameH1322 has devouredH0398 -H0853 the laborH3018 of our fathersH0001 from our youth-H5271 -H0853 their flocksH6629 andH0853 their herds,H1241 -H0853 their sonsH1121 andH0853 their daughters.H1323

25: We lie downH7901 in our shame,H1322 and covers usH3680 our reproachH3639 forH3588 against YahwehH3068 our God,H0430 we have sinnedH2398 weH0587 and our fathers,H0001 from our youthH5271 and even toH5704 day,H3117 thisH2088 and notH3808 have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of YahwehH3068 our God.H0430
