1: Righteous_H6662 [are] You,_H0859 Yahweh,_H3068 when_H3588 I plead_H7378 with You_H0413 yet_H0389 about [Your] judgments-_H4941 let me talk_H1696 with You_H0854 why_H4069 the way_H1870 of the wicked_H7563 does prosper?_H6743 [Why] are those happy_H7951 all_H3605 who deal so_H0899 treacherously?_H0898

2: You have planted them_H5193 yes,_H1571 they have taken root-_H8327 they grow,_H1980 yes,_H1571 they bear_H6213 fruit._H6529 Near_H7138 You [are]_H0859 in their mouth,_H6310 but far_H7350 from their mind._H3629

3: But You,_H0859 Yahweh,_H3068 know me_H3045 You have seen me_H7200 and You have tested_H0974 my heart_H3820 toward You_H0854 Pull them out_H5423 like sheep_H6629 for the slaughter,_H2878 and prepare them_H6942 for the day_H3117 of slaughter._H2028

4: How_H5704 long_H4970 will mourn,_H0056 the land_H0776 and the herbs_H6212 of every_H3605 field_H7704 wither,_H3001 for the wickedness_H7451 of those who dwell_H3427 are consumed,_H5595 the beasts_H0929 and birds-_H5775 because_H3588 they said,_H0559 not_H3808 He will see_H7200 -_H0853 our final end._H0319

5: If_H3588 with_H0854 the footmen,_H7273 you have run_H7323 and they have wearied you_H3811 and how_H0349 can you contend_H8474 with_H0854 horses?_H5483 and [if] in the land_H0776 of peace,_H7965 [In which] you_H0859 trusted [they wearied you],_H0982 and how_H0349 will you do_H6213 in the floodplain_H1347 of the Jordan?_H3383

6: for_H3588 even_H1571 your brothers,_H0251 and the house_H1004 of your father,_H0001 Even_H1571 they_H1992 have dealt treacherously_H0898 Yes,_H1571 they_H1992 have called_H7121 after you_H0310 a multitude_H4392 not,_H0408 do believe_H0539 Even though_H3588 they speak_H1696 to you_H0413 smooth words._H2896

7: I have forsaken_H5800 -_H0853 My house,_H1004 I have left_H5203 -_H0853 My heritage-_H5159 I have given_H5414 -_H0853 the dearly beloved_H3033 of My soul_H5315 into the hand_H3709 of her enemies._H0341

8: Is_H1961 My heritage_H5159 like a lion_H0738 in the forest-_H3293 it cries out_H5414 against Me_H5921 it cries out_H6963 upon_H5921 thus_H3651 have I hated it._H8130

9: [like] a vulture,_H5861 speckled_H6641 My heritage [is]_H5159 the vultures [are]_H5861 all around_H5439 against her_H5921 come_H1980 assemble_H0622 all_H3605 the beasts_H2416 of the field,_H7704 bring them_H0857 for food._H0402

10: Rulers_H7462 Many_H7227 have destroyed_H7843 My vineyard,_H3754 they have trodden underfoot_H0947 -_H0853 My portion_H2513 they have made_H5414 -_H0853 portion_H2513 My pleasant_H2532 a wilderness_H4057 desolate._H8077

11: They have made it_H7760 desolate_H8076 it mourns_H0056 to Me_H5921 Desolate,_H8077 is made desolate,_H8074 all_H3605 the land_H0776 because_H3588 no_H0369 one_H0376 takes [it]_H7760 to_H5921 heart._H3820

12: On_H5921 all_H3605 the desolate heights_H8205 in the wilderness-_H4057 have come_H0935 the plunderers_H7703 for_H3588 the sword_H2719 of Yahweh_H3068 shall devour_H0398 and from [one] end_H7097 of the land_H0776 to_H5704 the [other] end_H7097 No shall have-_H0776 of the land_H0369 Peace._H7965 On all_H3605 flesh._H1320

13: They have sown_H2232 wheat,_H2406 but thorns,_H6975 reaped_H7114 they have put themselves to pain,_H2470 not_H3808 [but] do profit._H3276 But be ashamed_H0954 of your harvest_H8393 because of the fierce_H2740 anger_H0639 of Yahweh._H3068

14: Thus_H3541 says_H0559 Yahweh_H3068 Against_H5921 all_H3605 My neighbors,_H7934 evil_H7451 who touch_H5060 the inheritance_H5159 which_H0834 I have caused to inherit-_H5157 -_H0853 My people_H5971 -_H0853 Israel_H3478 behold I_H2005 will pluck them_H5428 out_H5921 of their land,_H0127 and_H0853 the house_H1004 of Judah_H3063 pluck out_H5428 from among them._H8432

15: And it shall be,_H1961 after_H0310 I have plucked out_H5428 them_H0853 that I will return,_H7725 and have compassion on them_H7355 and bring them back,_H7725 everyone_H0376 to his heritage,_H5159 and everyone_H0376 to his land._H0776

16: And it shall be,_H1961 if_H0518 carefully_H3925 they will learn_H3925 -_H0853 the ways_H1870 of My people,_H5971 to swear_H7650 by My name,_H8034 as lives-_H2416 Yahweh_H3069 as_H0834 they taught_H3925 -_H0853 My people_H5971 to swear_H7650 by Baal-_H1168 then they shall be established_H1129 in the midst_H8432 of My people._H5971

17: But if_H0518 not_H3808 they do obey,_H8085 and I will pluck up_H5428 -_H0853 nation,_H1471 that_H1931 utterly_H5428 and destroy_H0006 says_H5002 Yahweh._H3068
