1: Gather yourselves to fleeH5756 you childrenH1121 of Benjamin,H1144 from the midstH7130 of Jerusalem,H3389 and in Tekoa,H8620 BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 and inH5921 Beth Haccerem-H1021 set upH5375 a signal-fireH4864 forH3588 disasterH7451 appearsH8259 out of the north,H6828 and destructionH7667 great.H1419

2: To a lovelyH5000 and delicate womanH6026 I have likenedH1819 the daughterH1323 of Zion.H6726

3: To herH0413 shall comeH0935 the shepherdsH7462 and with their flocksH5739 they shall pitchH8628 against herH5921 [their] tentsH0168 all around-H5439 shall pastureH7462 each oneH0376 inH0853 his own place.H3027

4: PrepareH6942 against herH5921 warH4421 Arise,H6965 and let us go upH5927 at noon.H6672 WoeH0188 forH3588 goes away,H6437 the dayH3117 forH3588 are lengtheningH5186 the shadowsH6752 of the evening.H6153

5: Arise,H6965 and let us goH5927 by night,H3915 and let us destroyH7843 her palaces.H0759

6: ForH3588 thusH3541 has said,H0559 YahwehH3068 of hostsH6635 Cut downH3772 trees,H6097 and buildH8210 againstH5921 Jerusalem.H3389 A moundH5550 that [is]H1931 the cityH5892 to be punished-H6485 she [is] fullH3605 of oppressionH6233 in her midst.H7130

7: As wells upH6979 a fountainH0953 with water,H4325 soH3651 she wells upH6979 with her wickedness-H7451 ViolenceH2555 and plunderingH7701 are heardH8085 BeforeH5921 MeH6440 continuallyH8548 [are] griefH2483 and wounds.H4347

8: Be instructed,H3256 Jerusalem,H3389 lestH6435 departH3363 My soulH5315 from youH4480 lestH6435 I make youH7760 desolate,H8077 a landH0776 notH3808 inhabited.H3427

9: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 thoroughlyH5953 they shall gleanH5953 as a vine-H1612 the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 put backH7725 your handH3027 as a grape-gathererH1219 intoH5921 the branches.H5552

10: ToH5921 whomH4310 shall I speak,H1696 and give warning,H5749 that they may hear?H8085 indeed,H2009 uncircumcised,H6189 their ear [is]H0241 and cannotH3808 theyH3201 give heed.H7181 Behold,H2009 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 isH1961 a reproach-H2781 noH3808 they have delightH2654

11: ThereforeH0854 the furyH2534 of Yahweh-H3068 I am fullH4392 of I am wearyH3811 of holding [it] inH3557 I will pour it outH8210 onH5921 the sonsH5768 outside,H2351 and onH5921 the assemblyH5475 of young menH0970 together-H3162 forH3588 evenH1571 the husbandH0376 withH5973 the wifeH0802 shall be taken,H3920 the agedH2205 withH5973 [him who is] fullH4390 of days.H3117

12: And shall be turned overH5437 their housesH1004 to others,H0312 FieldsH7704 and wivesH0802 together-H3162 forH3588 I will stretch outH5186 -H0853 My handH3027 AgainstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of the land,H0776 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

13: BecauseH3588 from the least of themH6996 and even toH5704 the greatest of themH1419 EveryoneH3605 [is] given toH1214 covetousness-H1215 and from the prophetH5030 and even toH5704 the priestH3548 EveryoneH3605 dealsH6213 falsely.H8267

14: And they have healedH7495 -H0853 the hurtH7667 of My peopleH5971 onH5921 slightly,H7043 Saying,H0559 Peace,H7965 peace-H7965 and when [there is] noH0369 peace.H7965

15: Were they ashamedH3001 whenH3588 abomination?H8441 they had committedH6213 No,H1571 at allH0954 notH3808 they were ashamed,H0954 evenH1571 how to blush.H3637 NorH3808 did they knowH3045 thereforeH3651 they shall fallH5307 among those who fall-H5307 at the timeH6256 I punish themH6485 they shall be cast down,H3782 saysH0559 Yahweh.H3068

16: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 StandH5975 inH5921 the ways,H1870 and see,H7200 and askH7592 for the paths,H5410 oldH5769 where [is]H0335 -H2088 way,H1870 the goodH2896 and walkH1980 and you will findH4672 restH4771 for your souls.H5315 But they said,H0559 notH3808 we will walk [in it].H1980

17: And I setH6965 over youH5921 watchmenH6822 [saying] ListenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpet.H7782 But they said,H0559 notH3808 we will listen.H7181

18: ThereforeH3651 hear,H8085 you nations,H1471 and know,H3045 congregation,H5712 -H0853 what [is]H0834

19: Hear,H8085 earth-H0776 behold,H2009 IH0595 will surely bringH0935 calamityH7451 onH0413 people,H5971 thisH2088 the fruitH6529 of their thoughts,H4284 becauseH3588 to meH5921 My words,H1697 notH3808 they have heededH7181 nor My law,H8451 but rejectedH3988

20: For whatH4100 [is] thisH2088 frankincenseH3828 from ShebaH7614 ComesH0935 and caneH7070 sweetH2896 from a country?H0776 farH4801 Your burnt offerings [are]H5930 notH3808 acceptable,H7522 and your sacrificesH2077 norH3808 sweetH6149

21: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 beholdH2005 I will layH5414 beforeH0413 people,H5971 thisH2088 stumbling blocksH4383 and shall fallH3782 the fathersH0001 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 the neighborH7934 and his friendH7453 shall perishH0006

22: thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 behold,H2009 a peopleH5971 comesH0935 from the country,H0776 northH6828 and a nationH1471 greatH1419 will be raisedH5782 from the farthest partsH3411 of the earth.H0776

23: BowH7198 and spear-H3591 they will lay hold onH2388 cruel,H0394 it [is]H1931 and noH3808 has mercy-H7355 their voiceH6963 like the sea-H3220 roarsH1993 and onH5921 horses,H5483 they rideH7392 set in arrayH6186 as menH0376 of warH4421 against youH5921 daughterH1323 of Zion.H6726

24: We have heardH8085 -H0853 the report of itH8089 grow feeble.H7503 Our handsH3027 AnguishH6869 has taken hold of usH2388 Pain,H2427 as of a woman in labor.H3205

25: NotH0408 do go outH3318 into the field,H7704 and by the way-H1870 norH0408 walkH1980 becauseH3588 of the swordH2719 of the enemyH0341 fear [is]H4032 on every side.H5439

26: DaughterH1323 of my people,H5971 Dress inH2296 sackcloth,H8242 and roll aboutH6428 in ashes-H0665 mourning,H0060 [as for] an only son,H3173 MakeH6213 lamentation-H4553 most bitterH8563 forH3588 suddenlyH6597 will comeH0935 the plundererH7703 upon us.H5921

27: [as] an assayerH0969 I have set youH5414 among My people,H5971 [and] a fortressH4013 that you may knowH3045 and testH0974 -H0853 their way.H1870

28: They [are] allH3605 stubbornH5493 rebels,H5637 walkingH1980 as slanderers.H7400 [They are] bronzeH5178 and iron-H1270 allH3605 [are] corruptersH7843 they.H1992

29: Blow fiercely,H2787 the bellowsH4647 is consumedH0800 the leadH5777 in vain-H7723 refinesH6884 the smelterH6884 for the wickedH7451 notH3808 are drawn off.H5423

30: SilverH3701 rejectedH3988 [People] will callH7121 becauseH3588 has rejectedH3988 YahwehH3068
