| 5:1 | Run ye to and fro <07751> (8786) through the streets <02351> of Jerusalem <03389>, and see <07200> (8798) now, and know <03045> (8798), and seek <01245> (8761) in the broad places <07339> thereof, if ye can find <04672> (8799) a man <0376>, if there be <03426> [any] that executeth <06213> (8802) judgment <04941>, that seeketh <01245> (8764) the truth <0530>; and I will pardon <05545> (8799) it. |
| 5:2 | And though they say <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> liveth <02416>; surely they swear <07650> (8735) falsely <08267>. |
| 5:3 | O LORD <03068>, [are] not thine eyes <05869> upon the truth <0530>? thou hast stricken <05221> (8689) them, but they have not grieved <02342> (8804); thou hast consumed <03615> (8765) them, [but] they have refused <03985> (8765) to receive <03947> (8800) correction <04148>: they have made their faces <06440> harder <02388> (8765) than a rock <05553>; they have refused <03985> (8765) to return <07725> (8800). |
| 5:4 | Therefore I said <0559> (8804), Surely these [are] poor <01800>; they are foolish <02973> (8738): for they know <03045> (8804) not the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, [nor] the judgment <04941> of their God <0430>. |
| 5:5 | I will get <03212> (8799) me unto the great men <01419>, and will speak <01696> (8762) unto them; for they have known <03045> (8804) the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, [and] the judgment <04941> of their God <0430>: but these have altogether <03162> broken <07665> (8804) the yoke <05923>, [and] burst <05423> (8765) the bonds <04147>. |
| 5:6 | Wherefore a lion <0738> out of the forest <03293> shall slay <05221> (8689) them, [and] a wolf <02061> of the evenings <06160> shall spoil <07703> (8799) them, a leopard <05246> shall watch <08245> (8802) over their cities <05892>: every one that goeth out <03318> (8802) thence shall <02007> be torn in pieces <02963> (8735): because their transgressions <06588> are many <07231> (8804), [and] their backslidings <04878> are increased <06105> (8804). {evenings: or, deserts} {are increased: Heb. are strong} |
| 5:7 | How <0335> shall I pardon <05545> (8799) thee for this <02063>? thy children <01121> have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and sworn <07650> (8735) by [them that are] no <03808> gods <0430>: when I had fed them to the full <07650> (8686), they then committed adultery <05003> (8799), and assembled themselves by troops <01413> (8704) in the harlots <02181> (8802)' houses <01004>. |
| 5:8 | They were [as] fed <02109> (8716) horses <05483> in the morning <07904> (8688): every one <0376> neighed <06670> (8799) after his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>. |
| 5:9 | Shall I not visit <06485> (8799) for these [things]? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: and shall not my soul <05315> be avenged <05358> (8691) on such a nation <01471> as this? |
| 5:10 | Go ye up <05927> (8798) upon her walls <08284>, and destroy <07843> (8761); but make <06213> (8799) not a full end <03617>: take away <05493> (8685) her battlements <05189>; for they [are] not the LORD'S <03068>. |
| 5:11 | For the house <01004> of Israel <03478> and the house <01004> of Judah <03063> have dealt very <0898> (8800) treacherously <0898> (8804) against me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
| 5:12 | They have belied <03584> (8765) the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), [It is] not he; neither shall evil <07451> come <0935> (8799) upon us; neither shall we see <07200> (8799) sword <02719> nor famine <07458>: |
| 5:13 | And the prophets <05030> shall become wind <07307>, and the word <01696> (8763) [is] not in them: thus shall it be done <06213> (8735) unto them. |
| 5:14 | Wherefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635>, Because ye speak <01696> (8763) this word <01697>, behold, I will make <05414> (8802) my words <01697> in thy mouth <06310> fire <0784>, and this people <05971> wood <06086>, and it shall devour <0398> (8804) them. |
| 5:15 | Lo, I will bring <0935> (8688) a nation <01471> upon you from far <04801>, O house <01004> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: it [is] a mighty <0386> nation <01471>, it [is] an ancient <05769> nation <01471>, a nation <01471> whose language <03956> thou knowest <03045> (8799) not, neither understandest <08085> (8799) what they say <01696> (8762). |
| 5:16 | Their quiver <0827> [is] as an open <06605> (8803) sepulchre <06913>, they [are] all mighty men <01368>. |
| 5:17 | And they shall eat up <0398> (8804) thine harvest <07105>, and thy bread <03899>, [which] thy sons <01121> and thy daughters <01323> should eat <0398> (8799): they shall eat up <0398> (8799) thy flocks <06629> and thine herds <01241>: they shall eat up <0398> (8799) thy vines <01612> and thy fig trees <08384>: they shall impoverish <07567> (8779) thy fenced <04013> cities <05892>, wherein thou <02007> trustedst <0982> (8802), with the sword <02719>. |
| 5:18 | Nevertheless in those days <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, I will not make <06213> (8799) a full end <03617> with you. |
| 5:19 | And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say <0559> (8799), Wherefore <08478> <04100> doeth <06213> (8804) the LORD <03068> our God <0430> all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer <0559> (8804) them, Like as ye have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and served <05647> (8799) strange <05236> gods <0430> in your land <0776>, so shall ye serve <05647> (8799) strangers <02114> (8801) in a land <0776> [that is] not yours. |
| 5:20 | Declare <05046> (8685) this in the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, and publish <08085> (8685) it in Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800), |
| 5:21 | Hear <08085> (8798) now this, O foolish <05530> people <05971>, and without understanding <03820>; which have eyes <05869>, and see <07200> (8799) not; which have ears <0241>, and hear <08085> (8799) not: {understanding: Heb. heart} |
| 5:22 | Fear <03372> (8799) ye not me? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: will ye not tremble <02342> (8799) at my presence <06440>, which have placed <07760> (8804) the sand <02344> [for] the bound <01366> of the sea <03220> by a perpetual <05769> decree <02706>, that it cannot pass <05674> (8799) it: and though the waves <01530> thereof toss <01607> (8691) themselves, yet can they not prevail <03201> (8799); though they roar <01993> (8804), yet can they not pass over <05674> (8799) it? |
| 5:23 | But this people <05971> hath a revolting <05637> (8802) and a rebellious <04784> (8802) heart <03820>; they are revolted <05493> (8804) and gone <03212> (8799). |
| 5:24 | Neither say <0559> (8804) they in their heart <03824>, Let us now fear <03372> (8799) the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, that giveth <05414> (8802) rain <01653>, both the former <03138> and the latter <04456>, in his season <06256>: he reserveth <08104> (8799) unto us the appointed <02708> weeks <07620> of the harvest <07105>. |
| 5:25 | Your iniquities <05771> have turned away <05186> (8689) these [things], and your sins <02403> have withholden <04513> (8804) good <02896> [things] from you. |
| 5:26 | For among my people <05971> are found <04672> (8738) wicked <07563> [men]: they lay wait <07789> (8799), as he that setteth <07918> (8800) snares <03353>; they set <05324> (8689) a trap <04889>, they catch <03920> (8799) men <0582>. {they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait} |
| 5:27 | As a cage <03619> is full <04392> of birds <05775>, so [are] their houses <01004> full <04392> of deceit <04820>: therefore they are become great <01431> (8804), and waxen rich <06238> (8686). {cage: or, coop} |
| 5:28 | They are waxen fat <08080> (8804), they shine <06245> (8804): yea, they overpass <05674> (8804) the deeds <01697> of the wicked <07451>: they judge <01777> (8804) not the cause <01779>, the cause of the fatherless <03490>, yet they prosper <06743> (8686); and the right <04941> of the needy <034> do they not judge <08199> (8804). |
| 5:29 | Shall I not visit <06485> (8799) for these [things]? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: shall not my soul <05315> be avenged <05358> (8691) on such a nation <01471> as this? |
| 5:30 | A wonderful <08047> and horrible thing <08186> is committed <01961> (8738) in the land <0776>; {A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness} |
| 5:31 | The prophets <05030> prophesy <05012> (8738) falsely <08267>, and the priests <03548> bear rule <07287> (8799) by their means <03027>; and my people <05971> love <0157> (8804) [to have it] so: and what will ye do <06213> (8799) in the end <0319> thereof? {bear...: or, take into their hands} |
