Now Joseph H3130 was beautiful H3303 in form H8389 and beautiful H3303 in appearance H4758.
Then all H3605 the congregation H5712 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 by [fn]stages H4550 from the wilderness H4057 of Sin H5512, according H5921 to the [fn]command H6310 of Yahweh H3068, and they camped H2583 at Rephidim H7508, and there H369 was H369 no H369 water H4325 for the people H5971 to drink H8354.
Then the people H5971 saw H7200 that Moses H4872 delayed H954 to come H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022. So the people H5971 assembled H6950 about H5921 Aaron H175 and said H559 to him, “Arise H6965, make H6213 us [fn]gods H430 who H834 will go H1980 before H6440 us; as for this H2088 Moses H4872, the man H376 who H834 brought H5927 us up H5927 from the land H776 of Egypt H4714, we do not know H3045 what H4100 has become H1961 of him.”
Then Moses H4872 said H559 to Yahweh H3068, “See H7200, You say H559 to me, ‘Bring H5927 up H5927 this H2088 people H5971!' But You Yourself H859 have not let me know H3045 whom H834 You will send H7971 with me. Moreover, You have said H559, ‘I have known H3045 you by name H8034, and you have also H1571 found H4672 favor H2580 in My sight H5869.'
Now it happened H1961 when Moses H4872 was coming H3381 down H3381 from Mount H2022 Sinai H5514 (and the two H8147 tablets H3871 of the testimony H5715 were in Moses' H4872 hand H3027 as he was coming H3381 down H3381 from the mountain H2022), that Moses H4872 did not know H3045 that the skin H5785 of his face H6440 shone H7160 because of his speaking H1696 with Him.
‘But if H518 his [fn]means H3027 are H5381 insufficient H3808 H5381 for two H8147 turtledoves H8449 or H176 two H8147 young H1121 pigeons H3123, then for his offering H7133 for that which H834 he has sinned H2398, he shall bring H935 the tenth H6224 of an [fn]ephah H374 of fine H5560 flour H5560 for a sin H2403 offering H2403; he shall not place H7760 oil H8081 on it or put H5414 frankincense H3828 on it, for it is a sin H2403 offering H2403.
‘Now if H3588 a woman H802 has H2100 a discharge H2101 of her blood H1818 many H7227 days H3117, not at the period H6256 of her menstrual H5079 impurity H5079, or H176 if H3588 she has H2100 a discharge H2100 beyond H5921 [fn]that period H5079, all H3605 the days H3117 of her unclean H2932 discharge H2101 she shall continue H1961 as though [fn]in her menstrual H5079 impurity H5079; she is unclean H2931.
“Tell H1696 your brother H251 Aaron H175 that he shall not enter H935 at any H3605 time H6256 into the holy H6944 place inside H4480 H1004 the veil H6532, before H413 H6440 the [fn]mercy H3727 seat H3727 which H834 is on the ark H727, so H3808 that he will not die H4191; for I will appear H7200 in the cloud H6051 over H5921 the mercy H3727 seat H3727.
‘You are to keep H8104 My statutes H2708. You shall not breed H7250 together H7250 two H3610 kinds H3610 of your cattle H929; you shall not sow H2232 your field H7704 with two H3610 kinds H3610 of seed nor H3808 wear H5927 a garment H899 upon you of two H3610 kinds H3610 of material H8162 mixed H8162 together H8162.
‘Now if H3588 a man H376 lies H7901 sexually H7902 H2233 with a woman H802 who H1931 is a slave H8198 assigned H2778 to another man H376, but who has in H6299 no H3808 way H6299 been redeemed H6299 nor H3808 given H5414 her freedom H2668, there shall be punishment H1244; they shall not, however, be put H4191 to H4191 death H4191 because H3588 she was not free H2666.
‘And the priest H3548 who is the highest H1419 among H4480 his brothers H251, on whose H834 head H7218 the anointing H4888 oil H8081 has been poured H3332 and [fn]who has been ordained H4390 H3027 to wear H3847 the garments H899, shall not [fn]uncover H6544 his head H7218 nor H3808 tear H6533 his clothes H899;
‘Nevertheless H389, anything H3605 which H834 a man H376 [fn]devotes H2763 to Yahweh H3068 out of all H3605 that he has, of man H120 or animal H929 or of the fields H7704 of his own possession H272, shall not be sold H4376 or redeemed H1350. Anything H3605 [fn]devoted H2764 to destruction H2764 is most H6944 holy H6944 to Yahweh H3068.
‘All H3605 the days H3117 of his vow H5088 as a Nazirite H5145 no H3808 razor H8593 shall pass H5674 over H5921 his head H7218. He shall be holy H6918 until H5704 the days H3117 are fulfilled H4390 for which H834 he dedicated H5144 himself as H5144 a H5144 Nazirite H5144 to Yahweh H3068; he shall let the locks H6545 of hair H8181 on his head H7218 grow H1431 long H1431.
But two H8147 men H376 had remained H7604 in the camp H4264; the name H8034 of one H259 was Eldad H419 and the name H8034 of the [fn]other H8145 Medad H4312. And the Spirit H7307 rested H5117 upon them (now they were among those who had been registered H3789, but had not gone H3318 out H3318 to the tent H168), and they prophesied H5012 in the camp H4264.
“I see H7200 him, but not now H6258;
I behold H7789 him, but not near H7138;
A star H3556 shall come H1869 forth from Jacob H3290,
A scepter H7626 shall rise H6965 from Israel H3478,
And shall crush H4272 through H4272 the [fn]forehead H6285 of Moab H4124,
And [fn]tear H6979 down H6979 all H3605 the sons H1121 of [fn]Sheth H8352.
“If H3588 your brother H251, your mother's H517 son H1121, or H176 your son H1121 or H176 daughter H1323, or H176 the wife H802 [fn]you cherish H2436, or H176 your friend H7453 who H834 is as your own soul H5315, entices H5496 you secretly H5643, saying H559, ‘Let us go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods H430' (whom H834 neither H3808 you nor H3808 your fathers H1 have known H3045,
“If H3588 there is a needy H34 one H34 among you, one H259 of your brothers H251, in any H259 of your gates H8179 of the towns in your land H776 which H834 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 is giving H5414 you, you shall not harden H553 your heart H3824 nor H3808 close H7092 your hand H3027 from your needy H34 brother H251;
“You shall set H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 to Yahweh H3068 your God H430 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 males H2145 that are born H3205 of your herd H1241 and of your flock H6629; you shall not work H5647 with the firstborn H1060 of your herd H7794 nor H3808 shear H1494 the firstborn H1060 of your flock H6629.
“Three H7969 times H6471 in a year H8141 all H3605 your males H2138 shall appear H7200 before H6440 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 in the place H4725 which H834 He chooses H977, at the Feast H2282 of Unleavened H4682 Bread H4682 and at the Feast H2282 of Weeks H7620 and at the Feast H2282 of Booths H5521, and they shall not appear H7200 before H6440 Yahweh H3068 empty-handed H7387.
“If H3588 you besiege H6696 a city H5892 for many H7227 days H3117, to make H3898 war H3898 against H5921 it in order to capture H8610 it, you shall not destroy H7843 its trees H6086 by swinging H5080 an axe H1631 against H5921 them; for you may eat H398 from them, and you shall not cut H3772 them down H3772. [fn]For is the tree H6086 of the field H7704 a man H120, that it should [fn]be besieged H4692 by you?
“When H3588 a man H376 takes H3947 a new H2319 wife H802, he shall not go H3318 out H3318 with the army H6635 nor H3808 be charged H5674 with any H3605 duty H1697; he shall be free H5355 at home H1004 one H259 year H8141 and shall give H8055 gladness H8055 to his wife H802 whom H834 he has taken H3947.
“When H3588 you reap H7114 your harvest H7105 in your field H7704 and have forgotten H7911 a sheaf H6016 in the field H7704, you shall not go H7725 back H7725 to get H3947 it; it shall be for the sojourner H1616, for the [fn]orphan H3490, and for the widow H490, in order H4616 that Yahweh H3068 your God H430 may bless H1288 you in all H3605 the work H4639 of your hands H3027.
“If H3588 brothers H251 live H3427 together H3162 and one H259 of them dies H4191 and has H369 no H369 son H1121, then the wife H802 of the one H4191 who H4191 died H4191 shall not be married outside H2351 the family to a strange H2114 man H376. Her husband's H2993 brother H2993 shall go H935 in H935 to her and take H3947 her to himself as wife H802 and perform H2992 the duty H2992 of H2992 a H2992 husband's H2992 brother H2992 to her.
“So all H3605 these H428 curses H7045 shall come H935 on you and pursue H7291 you and overtake H5381 you until H5704 you are destroyed H8045, because H3588 you would not listen H8085 to the voice H6963 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430 to keep H8104 His commandments H4687 and His statutes H2708 which H834 He commanded H6680 you.
‘They have made H7065 Me jealous H7065 with what is not God H410;
They have provoked H3707 Me to H3707 anger H3707 with their [fn]idols H1892.
So I will make H7065 them jealous H7065 with those who are not a people H5971;
I will provoke H3707 them to H3707 anger H3707 with a wickedly H5036 foolish H5036 nation H1471,
Now it happened H1961 when all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 who H834 were beyond H5676 the Jordan H3383 to the west H3220, and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Canaanites H3669 who H834 were by the sea H3220, heard H8085 how H854 H834 Yahweh H3068 had dried H3001 up H3001 the waters H4325 of the Jordan H3383 before H4480 H6440 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 until H5704 [fn]they had crossed H5674, that their hearts H3824 melted H4549, and there was no H3808 spirit H7307 in them any H5750 longer H5750 because H4480 H6440 of the sons H1121 of Israel H3478.
However, Zelophehad H6765, the son H1121 of Hepher H2660, the son H1121 of Gilead H1568, the son H1121 of Machir H4353, the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519, had H1961 no H3808 sons H1121, only H3588 H518 daughters H1323; and these H428 are the names H8034 of his daughters H1323: Mahlah H4244 and Noah H5270, Hoglah H2295, Milcah H4435 and Tirzah H8656.
But Manasseh H4519 did not take H3423 possession H3423 of Beth-shean H1052 and its towns H1323 or Taanach H8590 and its towns H1323 or the inhabitants H3427 of Dor H1756 and its towns H1323 or the inhabitants H3427 of Ibleam H2991 and its towns H1323 or the inhabitants H3427 of Megiddo H4023 and its towns H1323; so the Canaanites H3669 persisted H2974 to live H3427 in that land H776.
Naphtali H5321 did not dispossess H3423 the inhabitants H3427 of Beth-shemesh H1053 or the inhabitants H3427 of Beth-anath H1043, but lived H3427 among H7130 the Canaanites H3669, the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776; and the inhabitants H3427 of Beth-shemesh H1053 and Beth-anath H1043 became H1961 forced H4522 labor H4522 for them.
Then the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of Yahweh H3068 and served H5647 the Baals H1168 and the Ashtaroth H6252, the gods H430 of Aram H758, the gods H430 of Sidon H6721, the gods H430 of Moab H4124, the gods H430 of the sons H1121 of Ammon H5983, and the gods H430 of the Philistines H6430; thus they forsook H5800 Yahweh H3068 and did not serve H5647 Him.
Then Jephthah H3316 came H935 to his house H1004 at Mizpah H4709. And behold H2009, his daughter H1323 was coming H3318 out H3318 to meet H7122 him with tambourines H8596 and with dancing H4246. Now she was his one H7534 and only H3173 child H3173; besides H4480 her he had H369 no H369 son H1121 or H176 daughter H1323.
“What H4100 is sweeter H4966 than H4480 honey H1706?
And what H4100 is stronger H5794 than H4480 a lion H738?”
And he said H559 to them,
In those H1992 days H3117 there H369 was H369 no H369 king H4428 of Israel H3478; and in those H1992 days H3117 the tribe H7626 of the Danites H1839 was seeking H1245 an inheritance H5159 for themselves to live H3427 in, for until H5704 that day H3117 the land among H8432 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 had not fallen H5307 to them as an inheritance H5159.
Then the five H2568 men H376 went H1980 forth and came H935 to Laish H3919 and saw H7200 the people H5971 who H834 were in it living H3427 in security H983, after the [fn]manner H4941 of the Sidonians H6722, quiet H8252 and secure H982; for there H369 was H369 no H369 [fn]oppressive H6114 conqueror H3423 dishonoring H3637 them for anything H1697 in the land H776, and they were far H7350 from the Sidonians H6722 and had H369 no H369 dealings H1697 with anyone H120.
Now it happened H1961 in those H1992 days H3117, when there H369 was H369 no H369 king H4428 in Israel H3478, that there was a certain H376 Levite H3881 sojourning H1481 in the remote H3411 part H3411 of the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669, who took H3947 a concubine H6370 for himself from Bethlehem H1035 in Judah H3063.
Then He struck H5221 down H5221 some of the men H376 of Beth-shemesh H1053 because H3588 they had looked H7200 into the ark H727 of Yahweh H3068. He struck H5221 down H5221 of all the people H5971, 50,070 H7657 H2572 H505 men H376, and the people H5971 mourned H56 because H3588 Yahweh H3068 had struck H5221 the people H5971 with a great H1419 slaughter H4347.
Now the day H3117 came H1961 that Jonathan H3083, the son H1121 of Saul H7586, said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980 and let us cross H5674 over H5674 to the Philistines' H6430 garrison H4673 that is on the other H5676 side H5676.” But he did not tell H5046 his father H1.
Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 to the young H5288 man H5288 who was carrying H5375 his armor H3627, “Come H1980 and let us cross H5674 over H5674 to the garrison H4673 of these H428 uncircumcised H6189; perhaps H194 Yahweh H3068 will work H6213 for us, for Yahweh H3068 is not restrained H4622 to save H3467 by many H7227 or H176 by few H4592.”
Now the men H376 of Israel H3478 were hard-pressed H5065 on that day H3117. And Saul H7586 had put H422 the people H5971 under H422 oath H422, saying H559, “Cursed H779 be the man H376 who H834 eats H398 food H3899 [fn]before H5704 evening H6153 and until H5704 I have avenged H5358 myself on my enemies H340.” So none H3808 H3605 of the people H5971 tasted H2938 food H3899.
Then Abigail H26 came H935 to Nabal H5037, and behold H2009, he was holding a feast H4960 in his house H1004, like the feast H4960 of a king H4428. And Nabal's H5037 heart H3820 was merry H2895 within H5921 him, for he was very H5704 H3966 drunk H7910; so she did not tell H5046 him anything H1697 small H6996 or great H1419 until H5704 the morning H1242 light H216.
Then David H1732 said H559 in his heart H3820, “Now H6258 I will be swept H5595 away H5595 one H259 day H3117 by the hand H3027 of Saul H7586. There H369 is H369 nothing H369 better H2896 for me than H3588 that I should utterly escape H4422 into the land H776 of the Philistines H6430. Saul H7586 then will despair H2976 of searching H1245 for me anymore H5750 in all H3605 the territory H1366 of Israel H3478, and I will escape H4422 from his hand H3027.”
Then Samuel H8050 said H559 to Saul H7586, “Why H4100 have you disturbed H7264 me by bringing H5927 me up H5927?” And Saul H7586 answered H6030, “I am H6887 greatly H3966 distressed H6887, for the Philistines H6430 are waging H3898 war H3898 against me, and God H430 has turned H5493 away H5493 from me and no H3808 longer H5750 answers H6030 me, either H1571 by the hand H3027 of the prophets H5030 or H1571 by dreams H2472; therefore I have called H7121 you, that you may make H3045 known H3045 to me what H4100 I should do H6213.”
Then Saul H7586 quickly H4116 fell H5307 full H4393 length H6967 upon the ground H776 and was H3372 very H3966 afraid H3372 because H4480 of the words H1697 of Samuel H8050; also H1571 there was no H3808 strength H3581 in him, for he had eaten H398 no H3808 [fn]food H3899 all H3605 day H3117 and all H3605 night H3915.
Then Achish H397 called H7121 David H1732 and said H559 to him, “As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, you have been upright H3477, and your going H3318 out H3318 and your coming H935 in with me in the camp H4264 are pleasing H2896 in my sight H5869; for I have not found H4672 evil H7451 in you from the day H3117 of your coming H935 to me to this H2088 day H3117. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing H2896 in the sight H5869 of the lords H5633.
Then the king H4428 and his men H376 went H1980 to Jerusalem H3389 against H413 the Jebusites H2983, the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776, and they said H559 to [fn]David H1732, “You shall not come H935 in H935 here H2008, but the blind H5787 and lame H6455 will turn H5493 you away H5493”; [fn]thinking H559, “David H1732 cannot H3808 enter H935 here H2008.”
Now H834 Ahithophel H302 saw H7200 that his counsel H6098 was not [fn]followed H6213. So he [fn]saddled H2280 his donkey H2543 and arose H6965 and went H1980 to his home H1004, to his city H5892, and [fn]set H6680 his house H1004 in H6680 order H6680, and strangled H2614 himself; thus he died H4191 and was buried H6912 in the grave H6913 of his father H1.
Now Mephibosheth H4648 the [fn]son H1121 of Saul H7586 had come H3381 down H3381 to meet H7122 the king H4428; and he had not H3808 done H6213 anything for his feet H7272, nor H3808 done H6213 anything for his mustache H8222, nor H3808 washed H3526 his clothes H899, from the day H3117 the king H4428 departed H1980 until H5704 the day H3117 he came H935 home in peace H7965.
Now a vile H1100 fellow H376 happened H7122 to be there H8033 whose name H8034 was Sheba H7652, the son H1121 of Bichri H1075, a Benjamite H376 H3228; and he blew H8628 the trumpet H7782 and said H559,
“We have H369 no H369 portion H2506 in David H1732,
Nor H3808 do we have inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
Then David H1732 came H935 to his house H1004 at Jerusalem H3389, and the king H4428 took H3947 the ten H6235 women H802, the concubines H6370 whom H834 he had left H5117 to keep H8104 the house H1004, and placed H5414 them under guard H1004 H4931 and provided H3557 them with H3557 sustenance H3557, but did not go H935 in to them. So they were shut H6887 up H6887 until H5704 the day H3117 of their death H4191, living H2424 as widows H491.
And Rizpah H7532 the daughter H1323 of Aiah H345 took H3947 sackcloth H8242 and spread H5186 it for herself on the rock H6697, from the beginning H8462 of harvest H7105 until H5704 [fn]it rained H5413 on them from the sky H8064; and she [fn]allowed H5414 neither H3808 the birds H5775 of the sky H8064 to rest H5117 on them by day H3119 nor H3808 the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 by night H3915.
“When H3588 they sin H2398 against You (for there H369 is H369 no H369 man H120 who H834 does not sin H2398) and You are angry H599 with them and give H5414 them over to an enemy H340, so that [fn]they take H7617 them away H7617 captive H7617 to the land H776 of the enemy H340, far H7350 off H7350 or H176 near H7138;
Then all H3605 Israel H3478 saw that the king H4428 did not listen H8085 to them. So the people H5971 responded H7725 to the king H4428 with this word, saying H559,
“What H4100 portion H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448;
To your tents H168, O Israel H3478!
Now it happened H1961 when all H3605 Israel H3478 heard H8085 that Jeroboam H3379 had returned H7725, that they sent H7971 and called H7121 him to the congregation H5712 and made H4427 him king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478. None H3808 but the tribe H7626 of Judah H3063 followed H310 the house H1004 of David H1732.
After H310 this H2088 event H1697 Jeroboam H3379 did not return H7725 from his evil H7451 way H1870, but he returned H7725 and made H6213 priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116 from among [fn]all H7098 the people H5971; any who delighted H2655 to be so, he ordained H4390 H3027. So [fn]they became priests H3548 of the high H1116 places H1116.
Now the rest H3499 of all H3605 the acts H1697 of Asa H609 and all H3605 his might H1369 and all H3605 that he did H6213 and the cities H5892 which H834 he built H1129, are they not written H3789 in the Book H5612 of the Chronicles H1697 H3117 of the Kings H4428 of Judah H3063? But in the time H6256 of his old H2209 age H2209 he was H2470 diseased H2470 in his feet H7272.
Now it happened H1961, as though it had been H7043 a H7043 trivial H7043 thing H7043 for him to walk H1980 in the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028, that he took H3947 Jezebel H348 the daughter H1323 of Ethbaal H856 king H4428 of the Sidonians H6722 as a wife H802, and went H1980 and served H5647 Baal H1168 and worshiped H2331 him.
So He said H559, “Go H3318 forth H3318 and stand H5975 on the mountain H2022 before H6440 Yahweh H3068.” And behold H2009, Yahweh H3068 was passing H5674 by H5674! And a great H1419 and strong H2389 wind H7307 was tearing H6561 up the mountains H2022 and breaking H7665 in H7665 pieces H7665 the rocks H5553 before H6440 Yahweh H3068; but Yahweh H3068 was not in the wind H7307. And after H310 the wind H7307 an earthquake H7494, but Yahweh H3068 was not in the earthquake H7494.
Then the king H4428 of Israel H3478 called H7121 all H3605 the elders H2205 of the land H776 and said H559, “Please H4994 know H3045 and see H7200 how H3588 this H2088 man is looking H1245 for H1245 trouble H7451; for he sent H7971 to me for my wives H802 and my children H1121 and my silver H3701 and my gold H2091, and I withheld H4513 nothing from him.”
Now it happened that when Jezebel H348 heard H8085 that Naboth H5022 had been stoned H5619 and was dead H4191, Jezebel H348 said H559 to Ahab H256, “Arise H6965, take H3423 possession H3423 of the vineyard H3754 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158, which H834 he refused H3985 to give H5414 you for money H3701; for Naboth H5022 is not alive H2416, but dead H4191.”
Then he said H559 to Gehazi H1522, “Gird H2296 up your loins H4975 and take H3947 my staff H4938 in your hand H3027, and go H1980; if H3588 you meet H4672 anyone H376, do not [fn]greet H1288 him, and if H3588 anyone H376 [fn]greets H1288 you, do not answer H6030 him; and lay H7760 my staff H4938 on the boy's H5288 face H6440.”
Then he returned H7725 to the man H376 of God H430 [fn]with all H3605 his camp H4264, and came H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 him, and said H559, “Behold H2009 now H4994, I know H3045 that there H369 is H369 no H369 God H430 in all H3605 the earth H776, but in Israel H3478; so now H6258 please H4994 take H3947 a blessing H1293 from your servant H5650.”
‘Therefore H3651 thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 concerning H413 the king H4428 of Assyria H804, “He will not come H935 to this H2088 city H5892 or shoot H3384 an arrow H2671 there H8033; and he will not come H6923 before H6923 it with a shield H4043 or H3808 throw H8210 up H8210 a siege H5550 ramp H5550 against H5921 it.
Now the sons H1121 of Reuben H7205 the firstborn H1060 of Israel H3478 (for he was the firstborn H1060, but because he profaned H2490 his father's H1 bed H3326, his birthright H1062 was given H5414 to the sons H1121 of Joseph H3130 the son H1121 of Israel H3478; so that he is not recorded H3187 in H3187 the H3187 genealogy H3187 according to the birthright H1062.
Now from Manasseh H4519 also some H4480 defected H5307 to David H1732 when he was about to go H935 to battle H4421 with the Philistines H6430 against H5921 Saul H7586. But they did not help H5826 them, for the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 after counsel H6098 sent H7971 him away H7971, saying H559, “At the cost of our heads H7218 he may defect H5307 to his master H113 Saul H7586.”
Then David H1732 said H559 to his son H1121 Solomon H8010, “Be strong H2388 and courageous H553, and act H6213; do not fear H3372 nor H408 be dismayed H2865, for Yahweh H3068 God H430, my God H430, is with you. He will not fail H7503 you nor H3808 forsake H5800 you until H5704 all H3605 the work H4399 for the service H5656 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 is completed H3615.
Then King H4428 David H1732 said H559 to the entire H3605 assembly H6951, “My son H1121 Solomon H8010, whom alone H259 God H430 has chosen H977, is still young H5288 and inexperienced H7390 and the work H4399 is great H1419; for the [fn]temple H1002 is not for man H120, but for Yahweh H3068 God H430.
“Also H1571 concerning H413 the foreigner H5237 who H834 is not of Your people H5971 Israel H3478, if he comes H935 from a far H7350 country H776 for Your great H1419 name's H8034 sake H4616 and Your strong H2389 hand H3027 and Your outstretched H5186 arm H2220, so if they come H935 and pray H6419 toward H413 this H2088 house H1004,
Then Solomon H8010 set H6942 apart H6942 as H6942 holy H6942 the middle H8432 of the court H2691 that was before H6440 the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068, because there H8033 he offered H6213 the burnt H5930 offerings H5930 and the fat H2459 of the peace H8002 offerings H8002; for H3588 the bronze H5178 altar H4196 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 was H3201 not able H3201 to hold H3557 the burnt H5930 offering H5930 and the grain offering H4503 and the fat H2459.
Now all H3605 Israel H3478 saw that the king H4428 did not listen H8085 to them. So the people H5971 responded H7725 to the king H4428, saying H559,
“What H4100 portion H2506 do we have in David H1732?
We have no H3808 inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448.
Every H376 man H376 to your tents H168, O Israel H3478;
Now the acts H1697 of Rehoboam H7346, from first H7223 to last H314, are they not written H3789 in the [fn]records H1697 of Shemaiah H8098 the prophet H5030 and of Iddo H5714 the seer H2374, according to genealogical H3187 record H3187? Now there were wars H4421 between Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 all H3605 their days H3117.
Then a letter H4385 came H935 to him from Elijah H452 the prophet H5030 saying H559, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, the God H430 of your father H1 David H1732, ‘Because H8478 H834 you have not walked H1980 in the ways H1870 of Jehoshaphat H3092 your father H1 and the ways H1870 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063,
Now the Spirit H7307 of God H430 clothed H3847 Zechariah H2148 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548; and he stood H5975 above H4480 H5921 the people H5971 and said H559 to them, “Thus H3541 says H559 God H430, ‘Why H4100 do you trespass H5674 against the commandments H4687 of Yahweh H3068 and do not succeed H6743? Because H3588 you have forsaken H5800 Yahweh H3068, He has also forsaken H5800 you.'”
When they had gone H1980 from him (for they left H5800 him very H7227 sick H4251), his servants H5650 conspired H7194 against H5921 him because of the blood H1818 of the [fn]son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548, and killed H2026 him on his bed H4296. So he died H4191, and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732, but they did not bury H6912 him in the tombs H6913 of the kings H4428.
“We also make H3046 known H3046 to you that it is not allowed H7990 to [fn]impose H7412 tribute H4061, custom H4061, or toll H1983 on any H3606 of the priests H3549, Levites H3879, singers H2171, doorkeepers H8652, temple H5412 servants H5412, or other servants H6399 of this H1836 house H1005 of God H426.
Now when these H428 things H428 had been completed H3615, the princes H8269 approached H5066 me, saying H559, “The people H5971 of Israel H3478 and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the peoples H5971 of the lands H776, according to their abominations H8441, those of the Canaanites H3669, the Hittites H2850, the Perizzites H6522, the Jebusites H2983, the Ammonites H5984, the Moabites H4125, the Egyptians H4713 and the Amorites H567.
Moreover H1571, from the day H3117 that I was put H6680 in command H6680 to be their governor H6346 in the land H776 of Judah H3063, from the twentieth H6242 year H8141 to the thirty-second H7970 H8147 year H8141 of King H4428 Artaxerxes H783, for twelve H8147 H6240 years H8141, neither H3808 I nor H3808 my [fn]relatives H251 have eaten H398 the governor's H6346 food H3899 allowance.
Now it happened H834 when it was heard H8085 by Sanballat H5571, Tobiah H2900, Geshem H1654 the Arab H6163, and the rest H3499 of our enemies H340 that I had rebuilt H1129 the wall H2346, and that no H3808 breach H6556 remained H3498 in it, although H1571 at that time H6256 I had not made the doors H1817 to stand H5975 in the gates H8179,
“They refused H3985 to listen H8085,
And did not remember H2142 Your wondrous H6381 deeds H6381 which H834 You did H6213 among H5973 them;
So they became H7185 H6203 stiff-necked H7185 H6203 and gave H5414 themselves a chief H7218 to return H7725 to their slavery H5659 [fn]in Egypt H4714.
But You are a God H433 of lavish H5547 forgiveness H5547,
Gracious H2587 and compassionate H7349,
Slow H750 to anger H639 and abounding H7227 in lovingkindness H2617;
And You did not forsake H5800 them.
But You, in Your abundant H7227 compassion H7356,
Did not forsake H5800 them in the wilderness H4057;
The pillar H5982 of cloud H6051 did not depart H5493 H4480 H5921 from them by day H3119,
To lead H5148 them on their way H1870,
Nor H3808 the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915,
To light H215 for them the way H1870 in which H834 they were to go H1980.
And testified H5749 to them in order to turn H7725 them back H7725 to Your law H8451.
Yet they acted H2102 presumptuously H2102 and did not listen H8085 to Your commandments H4687 but sinned H2398 against Your judgments H4941,
By which H834 if a man H120 does H6213 them, he shall live H2421.
And they gave H5414 a stubborn H5637 shoulder H3802 and stiffened H7185 their neck H6203, and would not listen H8085.
Then Esther's H635 young H5291 women H5291 and her eunuchs H5631 came H935 and told H5046 her, and the queen H4436 writhed H2342 in great H3966 anguish. And she sent H7971 garments H899 to clothe H3847 Mordecai H4782 and to remove H5493 his sackcloth H8242 from upon him, but he did not accept H6901 them.
For the choir director. According to [fn]Mahalath. A [fn]Maskil of David.
The wicked H5036 fool H5036 says H559 in his heart H3820, “There H369 is H369 no H369 God H430,”
They act H7843 corruptly H7843, and commit H8581 abominable H8581 injustice H5766;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who does H6213 good H2896.
Then I looked H7200 again H7725 at all H3605 the acts H6217 of H6217 oppression H6217 which H834 were being done H6213 under H8478 the sun H8121. And behold H2009, I saw the tears H1832 of the oppressed H6231 and that they had H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 them; and on the side H3027 of their oppressors H6231 was power H3581, but they had H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 them.
For I have given H5414 all H3605 this H2088 to my heart H3820 and explain H952 [fn]it that righteous H6662 men H6662, wise H2450 men H2450, and their service H5652 are in the hand H3027 of God H430. Man H120 does not know H3045 whether H1571 it will be love H160 or H1571 hatred H8135; anything H3605 may be before H6440 him.
On this H3651 account H3651, the anger H639 of Yahweh H3068 has burned H2734 against His people H5971,
And He has stretched H5186 out H5186 His hand H3027 against H5921 them and struck H5221 them down H5221.
And the mountains H2022 trembled H7264, and their corpses H5038 [fn]lay H1961 like refuse H5478 in the middle H7130 of the streets H2351.
For all H3605 this H2088 His anger H639 is H7725 not turned H7725 back H7725,
But His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
Now it happened H1961 in the days H3117 of Ahaz H271, the son H1121 of Jotham H3147, the son H1121 of Uzziah H5818, king H4428 of Judah H3063, that Rezin H7526 the king H4428 of Aram H758 and Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah H7425, king H4428 of Israel H3478, went H5927 up H5927 to Jerusalem H3389 to wage war H4421 against H5921 it, but could H3201 not [fn]conquer H3898 H5921 it.
[fn]But there will be no H3808 more gloom H4155 for her who H834 was in anguish H4164; in earlier H7223 times H6256 He treated H7043 the land H776 of Zebulun H2074 and the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 with H7043 contempt H7043, but later H314 on He shall make H3513 it glorious H3513, by the way H1870 of the sea H3220, on the other H5676 side H5676 of Jordan H3383, Galilee H1551 of the [fn]Gentiles H1471.
There H369 will H369 be H369 no H369 end H7093 to the increase H4766 of His government H4951 or of peace H7965,
On the throne H3678 of David H1732 and over H5921 his kingdom H4467,
To establish H3559 it and to uphold H5582 it with justice H4941 and righteousness H6666
From then H6258 on and forevermore H5703 H5769.
The zeal H7068 of Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 will accomplish H6213 this H2088.
Therefore H5921 H3651 the Lord H136 is not glad H8055 in their choice H970 men H970,
Nor H3808 does He have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 their [fn]orphans H3490 or their widows H490;
For every H3605 one H3605 of them is godless H2611 and an evildoer H7489,
And every H3605 mouth H6310 is speaking H1696 wicked H5039 foolishness H5039.
In spite of all H3605 this H2088, His anger H639 does not turn H7725 back H7725,
And His hand H3027 is still H5750 stretched H5186 out H5186.
When its limbs H7105 are H3001 dry H3001, they are broken H7665 off;
Women H802 come H935 and light H215 a H215 fire H215 with them,
For they are not a people H5971 of discernment H998,
Therefore H5921 H3651 their Maker H6213 will not have H7355 compassion H7355 on H7355 them.
And their Creator H3335 will not be H2603 gracious H2603 to them.
The [fn]oracle H4853 concerning the beasts H929 of the Negev H5045.
Through a land H776 of distress H6869 and anguish H6695,
From [fn]where H1992 come lioness H3833 and lion H3918, viper H660 and flying H5774 fiery H8314 serpent H8314,
They carry H5375 their wealth H2428 on the [fn]backs H3802 of young H5895 donkeys H5895
Woe H1945 to those who go H3381 down H3381 to Egypt H4714 for help H5833
And rely H8172 on horses H5483,
And trust H982 in chariots H7393 because H3588 they are many H7227
And in horsemen H6571 because H3588 they are H6105 very H3966 mighty H6105,
But they do not regard H8159 at the Holy H6918 One H6918 of Israel H3478, nor H3808 seek H1875 Yahweh H3068!
Now the Egyptians H4714 are men H120 and not God H410,
And their horses H5483 are flesh H1320 and not spirit H7307;
So Yahweh H3068 will stretch H5186 out H5186 His hand H3027,
And he who helps H5826 will stumble H3782,
And he who is helped H5826 will fall H5307,
And all H3605 of them will come H3615 to H3615 an H3615 end H3615 together H3162.
Woe H1945 to you, O destroyer H7703,
While you were not destroyed H7703;
And he who is treacherous H898, while others did not deal H898 treacherously H898 with him.
As soon as you finish H8552 destroying H7703, you will be destroyed H7703;
As soon as you cease H5239 to deal H898 treacherously H898, others will deal H898 treacherously H898 with you.
Who H4310 has declared H5046 this from the beginning H7218, that we might know H3045?
Or from former H6440 times H6440, that we may say H559, “He is right H6662!”?
Surely H637 there H369 was H369 no H369 one H369 who declared H5046;
Surely H637 there H369 was H369 no H369 one H369 who caused H8085 those words to H8085 be H8085 heard H8085;
Surely H637 there H369 was H369 no H369 one H369 who heard H8085 your words H561.
“I will lead H1980 the blind H5787 by a way H1870 they do not know H3045,
In paths H5410 they do not know H3045 I will guide H1869 them.
I will make H7760 darkness H4285 into light H216 before H6440 them
And rugged H4625 places H4625 into plains H4334.
These H428 are the things H1697 I will do H6213,
And I will not forsake H5800 them.”
But this H1931 is a people H5971 plundered H962 and pillaged as spoil H8154;
All H3605 of them are trapped H6351 in [fn]caves H2352,
Or are hidden H2244 away in prisons H3608;
They have become H1961 a plunder H957 with none H369 to deliver H5337 them,
And a spoil H4933, with none H369 to say H559, “Have H7725 them return H7725!”
“Woe H1945 to the one who contends H7378 with his [fn]Maker H3335—
An earthenware H2789 vessel H2789 [fn]among H854 the vessels H2789 of earth H127!
Will the clay H2563 say H559 to the [fn]potter H3335, ‘What H4100 are you doing H6213?'
Or the thing H6467 you are making H6467 say, ‘He has H369 no H369 hands H3027'?
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“The fruit H3018 of the labor H3018 of Egypt H4714 and the profit H5504 of [fn]Ethiopia H3568
And the Sabeans H5436, men H376 of stature H4060,
Will come H5674 over H5674 to you and will be yours;
They will walk H1980 behind H310 you; they will come H5674 over H5674 in chains H2131
And will bow H2331 down H2331 to you;
They will make H6419 supplication H6419 to you:
‘[fn]Surely H389, God H410 is [fn]with you, and there H369 is H369 none H369 else H5750,
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, who created H1254 the heavens H8064 (He is the God H430 who formed H3335 the earth H776 and made H6213 it; He established H3559 it and did not create H1254 it [fn]a formless H8414 place H8414, but formed H3335 it to be inhabited H3427),
“I am Yahweh H3068, and there H369 is H369 none H369 else H5750.
“Declare H5046 and draw H5066 near H5066 with your case;
Indeed H637, let them consult H3289 together H3162.
Who H4310 has made H8085 this H2088 heard H8085 from of old H6924?
Who has long H227 since H227 declared H5046 it?
Is it not I, Yahweh H3068?
And there H369 is H369 no H369 other H5750 God H430 besides H4480 H1107 Me,
“Kings H4428 will be your guardians H539,
And their princesses H8282 your nurses H3243.
They will bow H2331 down H2331 to you with their [fn]faces H639 to the earth H776
And lick H3897 the dust H6083 of your feet H7272;
And you will know H3045 that I am Yahweh H3068;
Those who H834 hope H6960 in Me will not be put H954 to H954 shame H954.
“Why H4069 was H369 there H369 no H369 man H376 when I came H935?
When I called H7121, why was H369 there H369 none H369 to answer H6030?
Is My hand H3027 so H4480 short H7114 that H4480 it cannot H4480 ransom H6304?
Or H518 have H369 I no H369 power H3581 to deliver H5337?
Behold H2005, I dry H2717 up H2717 the sea H3220 with My rebuke H1606;
I make H7760 the rivers H5104 a wilderness H4057;
“Shout H7442 for H7442 joy H7442, O barren H6135 woman H6135, who has not H3808 given H3205 birth H3205;
Break H6476 forth H6476 into joyful H7440 shouting H7440 and cry H6670 aloud H6670, you who have not been in [fn]labor H2342;
For more H4480 numerous H7227 are the sons H1121 of the desolate H8074 one
Than H4480 the sons H1121 of the married H1166 woman,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“No H3605 H3808 weapon H3627 that is formed H3335 against H5921 you will succeed H6743;
And every H3605 tongue H3956 that [fn]accuses H6965 you in judgment H4941 you will condemn H7561.
This H2088 is the inheritance H5159 of the [fn]slaves H5650 of Yahweh H3068,
And their righteousness H6666 is from Me,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“Instead H8478 of H8478 the thorn H5285 bush H5285 the cypress H1265 will come H5927 up H5927,
And instead H8478 of H8478 the nettle H5636 the myrtle H1918 will come H5927 up H5927,
And [fn]it will be to Yahweh H3068 for His [fn]renown H8034,
For an everlasting H5769 sign H226 which will not be cut H3772 off H3772.”
And the dogs H3611 have a strong H5315 [fn]appetite H5794; they do not know H3045 satisfaction H7654.
And they are shepherds H7462 who do not know H3045 understanding H995;
They have all H3605 turned H6437 to their own way H1870,
Each H376 one H376 to his greedy H1215 gain H1215, to the last H7097 one H7097.
“If H518 because H4480 of the sabbath H7676, you turn H7725 your foot H7272
From doing H6213 your own desire H2656 on My holy H6944 day H3117,
And call H7121 the sabbath H7676 a delight H6027, the holy H6918 day of Yahweh H3068 honorable H3513,
And honor H3513 it, by not doing H6213 your own ways H1870,
Because H834 he who [fn]is blessed H1288 in the earth H776
Will [fn]be blessed H1288 by the God H430 of truth H543,
And he who swears H7650 in the earth H776
Will swear H7650 by the God H430 of truth H543;
Because H3588 the former H7223 distresses H6869 are forgotten H7911,
And because H3588 they are hidden H5641 from My sight H5869!
“No H3808 longer H5750 will there be [fn]in it an infant H5764 who lives but a few days H3117,
Or an old H2205 man H2205 who H834 does not fulfill H4390 his days H3117;
For the youth H5288 will die H4191 at the age H1121 of one hundred H3967,
And the [fn]one who does H2398 not H2398 reach H2398 the age H1121 of one hundred H3967
So H1571 I will choose H977 their [fn]punishments H8586
And will bring H935 on them what H4034 they dread H4034,
Because H3282 I called H7121, but no H369 one H369 answered H6030;
I spoke H1696, but they did not listen H8085.
And they did H6213 what H7451 was evil H7451 in My eyes H5869
And chose H977 that in which H834 I did not take H2654 pleasure H2654.”
“They did not say H559, ‘Where H346 is Yahweh H3068
Who brought H5927 us up H5927 out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714,
Who led H1980 us through the wilderness H4057,
Through a land H776 of deserts H6160 and of pits H7745,
Through a land H776 of drought H6723 and of the shadow H6757 of death H6757,
“The priests H3548 did not say H559, ‘Where H346 is Yahweh H3068?'
And those who handle H8610 the law H8451 did not know H3045 Me;
The [fn]shepherds H7462 also transgressed H6586 against Me,
And the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 by Baal H1168
And walked H1980 after H310 things that did not profit H3276.
“Your own evil H7451 will chastise H3256 you,
And your acts H4878 of faithlessness H4878 will reprove H3198 you;
Know H3045 therefore and see H7200 that it is evil H7451 and bitter H4751
For you to forsake H5800 Yahweh H3068 your God H430,
And the dread H6345 of Me is not in you,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635.
“Behold H2009, I am bringing H935 a nation H1471 against H5921 you from afar H4801, O house H1004 of Israel H3478,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“It is an enduring H386 nation H1471;
It is an ancient H5769 nation H1471,
A nation H1471 whose tongue H3956 you do not know H3045,
Nor H3808 can you [fn]understand H8085 what H4100 they say H1696.
‘Do you not fear H3372 Me?' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
‘Do you not tremble H2342 in My presence H6440?
For I have placed H7760 the sand H2344 as a boundary H1366 for the sea H3220,
A perpetual H5769 statute H2706, so it cannot H3808 cross H5674 over H5674 it.
Though the waves H1530 toss H1607, yet they cannot H3808 prevail H3201;
Though they roar H1993, yet they cannot H3808 cross H5674 over H5674 it.
“Were H954 they ashamed H954 because H3588 of the abomination H8441 they have done H6213?
They were H954 not even H1571 ashamed H954 at all H954;
They did not even H1571 know H3045 how to feel H3637 dishonor H3637.
Therefore H3651 they shall fall H5307 among those who fall H5307;
At the time H6256 that I punish H6485 them,
They shall be cast H3782 down H3782,” says H559 Yahweh H3068.
“Therefore H3651, behold H2009, days H3117 are coming H935,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, “when it will no H3808 longer H5750 be called H559 Topheth H8612 or the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom H2011, but the valley H1516 of the Slaughter H2028; for they will bury H6912 in Topheth H8612 [fn]because H4480 there H369 is H369 no H369 other place H4725.
Behold H2009, the sound H6963! The cry H7775 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 from a distant H4801 land H776:
“Is Yahweh H3068 not in Zion H6726? Is her King H4428 not within her?”
“Why H4069 have they provoked H3707 Me to anger H3707 with their graven H6456 images H6456, with foreign H5236 [fn]idols H1892?”
“For the mountains H2022 I will take H5375 up H5375 a weeping H1065 and wailing H5092,
And for the pastures H4999 of the wilderness H4057 a funeral lamentation H7015,
Because H3588 they are turned H5327 into ruin H5327 so H4480 H1097 that no H1097 one H376 passes H5674 through H5674,
And the lowing H6963 of the cattle H4735 is not heard H8085;
Both H4480 the birds H5775 of the sky H8064 and the beasts H929 have fled H5074; they are gone H1980.
But I was like a gentle H441 lamb H3532 led H2986 to the slaughter H2873;
And I did not know H3045 that they had devised H2803 thoughts H4284 against H5921 me, saying,
“Let us make H7843 the tree H6086 with its [fn]fruit H3899 a ruin H7843,
And let us cut H3772 him off H3772 from the land H776 of the living H2416,
That his name H8034 be remembered H2142 no H3808 more H5750.”
How H4970 long H5704 H4970 is the land H776 to mourn H56
And the plants H6212 of every H3605 field H7704 to dry H3001 up H3001?
Because of the evil H7451 of those who inhabit H3427 it,
Animals H929 and birds H5775 have been swept H5595 away H5595,
Because H3588 men have said H559, “He will not see H7200 our latter H319 ending H319.”
“As for your adulteries H5004 and your lustful neighings H4684,
The lewdness H2154 of your prostitution H2184
On the hills H1389 in the field H7704,
I have seen H7200 your detestable H8251 things H8251.
Woe H188 to you, O Jerusalem H3389!
How H4970 long H310 H4970 H5750 will you not H3808 cleanse H2891 yourself?”
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 to this H2088 people H5971, “Even so H3651 they have loved H157 to wander H5128; they have not kept H2820 their feet H7272 in check H2820. Therefore Yahweh H3068 does not accept H7521 them; now H6258 He will remember H2142 their iniquity H5771 and punish H6485 their sins H2403.”
‘If H518 I go H3318 out H3318 to the field H7704,
Behold H2009, those [fn]slain H2491 with the sword H2719!
Or if H518 I enter H935 the city H5892,
Behold H2009, diseases H8463 of famine H7458!
For both H1571 prophet H5030 and priest H3548
Have gone around H5503 as merchants H5503 in the land H776 that they do not know H3045.'”
Have You completely H3988 rejected H3988 Judah H3063?
Or H518 [fn]have You loathed H1602 Zion H6726?
Why H4069 have You stricken H5221 us so that there H369 is H369 no H369 healing H4832 for us?
We hoped H6960 for peace H7965, but there H369 was H369 no H369 good H2896;
And for a time H6256 of healing H4832, but behold H2009, terror H1205!
Therefore H3651 thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“If H518 you return H7725, then I will cause you to return H7725—
Before H6440 Me you will stand H5975;
And if H518 you extract H3318 the precious H3368 from the worthless H2151,
You will become H1961 [fn]My mouthpiece H6310.
They for their part H1992 may turn H7725 to you,
But as for you, you must not turn H7725 to them.
Then they said H559, “Come H1980 and let us devise H2803 plans H4284 against H5921 Jeremiah H3414. Surely H3588 the law H8451 is not going to perish H6 from the priest H3548, nor H3808 counsel H6098 to the wise H2450 man, nor H3808 the divine word H1697 to the prophet H5030! Come H1980 on and let us strike H5221 at him with our tongue H3956, and let us give H7181 no H408 heed H7181 to any H3605 of his words H1697.”
But Yahweh H3068 is with me like a ruthless H6184 mighty H1368 one H1368;
Therefore H5921 H3651 my persecutors H7291 will stumble H3782 and not prevail H3201.
They will be H954 utterly H3966 ashamed H954, because H3588 they have not H3808 prospered H7919,
With an everlasting H5769 dishonor H3639 that will not be forgotten H7911.
“Render H1777 justice H4941 [fn]every morning H1242;
And deliver H5337 the person who has been robbed H1497 from the [fn]power H3027 of his oppressor H6231,
Lest H6435 My wrath H2534 go H3318 forth H3318 like fire H784
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068 in regard H413 to [fn]Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063, who became H4427 king H4427 in H8478 the place H8478 of H8478 Josiah H2977 his father H1, who H834 went H3318 forth H3318 from this H2088 place H4725, “He will never H3808 H5750 return H7725 there H8033;
Then I spoke H1696 to the priests H3548 and to all H3605 this H2088 people H5971, saying H559, “Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068: Do not listen H8085 to the words H1697 of your prophets H5030 who prophesy H5012 to you, saying H559, ‘Behold H2009, the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of Yahweh H3068 will now H6258 shortly H4120 be returned H7725 from Babylon H894'; for they are prophesying H5012 a lie H8267 to you.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“If H518 the heavens H8064 above H4480 H4605 can be measured H4058
And the foundations H4144 of the earth H776 searched H2713 out H2713 below H4295,
Then I will also H1571 reject H3988 all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478
For all H3605 that they have done H6213,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.
“Therefore H3651 thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, ‘You have not obeyed H8085 Me in proclaiming H7121 [fn]release H1865 each H376 man H376 to his brother H251 and each H376 man H376 to his neighbor H7453. Behold H2009, I am proclaiming H7121 a [fn]release H1865 to you,' declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, ‘to the sword H2719, to the pestilence H1698, and to the famine H7458; and I will make H5414 you a terror H2113 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776.
Then all H3605 the [fn]commanders H8269 of the military H2428 forces H2428 that were in the field H7704, they and their men H376, heard H8085 that the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had appointed H6485 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 over the land H776 and that he had appointed H6485 him over the men H376, women H802, little H2945 ones H2945, and those of the poorest H1803 of the land H776 who H834 had not been exiled H1540 to Babylon H894.
“But as for you, O Jacob H3290 My servant H5650, do not fear H3372,
Nor H408 be dismayed H2865, O Israel H3478!
For behold H2009, I am going to save H3467 you from afar H7350,
And your seed H2233 from the land H776 of their captivity H7628;
And Jacob H3290 will return H7725 and have H8252 quiet H8252
And be at ease H7599, with no H369 one H369 making him tremble H2729.
“O Jacob H3290 My servant H5650, do not fear H3372,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068,
“For I am with you.
For I will make H6213 a complete H3617 destruction H3617 of all H3605 the nations H1471
Where H834 H8033 I have banished H5080 you,
Yet I will not make H6213 a complete H3617 destruction H3617 of you;
But I will discipline H3256 you with justice H4941
And by H5352 no H3808 means H5352 leave H5352 you unpunished H5352.”
“Moab H4124 has been H7599 at H7559 ease H7599 since H4480 his youth H5271;
He has H8252 also had quiet H8252, like wine on [fn]its dregs H8105,
And he has not been emptied H7324 from vessel H3627 to vessel H3627,
Nor H3808 has he gone H1980 into exile H1473.
Therefore H5921 H3651 [fn]he retains H5975 his flavor H2940,
For thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068, “Behold H2009, those who H834 are not under judgment H4941 to drink H8354 the cup H3563 will certainly H8354 drink H8354 it, but are you the one H1931 who will go completely H5352 unpunished H5352? You will not go unpunished H5352, but you will certainly H8354 drink H8354 it.
“For a nation H1471 has come H5927 up H5927 against H5921 her out of the north H6828; it will make H7896 her land H776 an object H8047 of H8047 horror H8047, and there will be no H3808 inhabitant H3427 in it. Both H4480 man H120 and beast H929 have wandered H5110 off H5110; they have gone H1980 away!
“For behold H2009, I am going to arouse H5782 and bring H5927 up H5927 against H5921 Babylon H894
An assembly H6951 of great H1419 nations H1471 from the land H776 of the north H6828,
And they will arrange H6186 their battle H6186 lines H6186 against her;
From there H8033 she will be taken H3920 captive H3920.
Their arrows H2671 will be like [fn]a warrior H1368 who makes one childless H7919
Zayin
In the days H3117 of her affliction H6040 and homelessness H4788
Jerusalem H3389 remembers H2142 all H3605 her precious H4262 things H4262
That were from the days H3117 of old H6924,
When her people H5971 fell H5307 into the hand H3027 of the adversary H6862
And no H369 one H369 helped H5826 her.
Pe
Zion H6726 stretches H6566 out H6566 her hands H3027;
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 to comfort H5162 her;
Yahweh H3068 has commanded H6680 concerning Jacob H3290
That the ones round H5439 about H5439 him should be his adversaries H6862;
Jerusalem H3389 has become H1961 an impure H5079 thing H5079 among H996 them.
Ayin
Yahweh H3068 has done H6213 what H834 He purposed H2161;
He has completed H1214 His word H565
Which H834 He commanded H6680 from days H3117 of old H6924.
He has pulled H2040 down H2040 without H3808 sparing H2550,
And He has caused the enemy H340 to be glad H8055 over H5921 you;
He has exalted H7311 the [fn]might H7161 of your adversaries H6862.
Then He said H559 to me, “The iniquity H5771 of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 is very H3966, very H3966 great H1419, and the land H776 is filled H4390 with bloodshed H1818, and the city H5892 is full H4390 of perversion H4297; for they say H559, ‘Yahweh H3068 has forsaken H5800 the land H776, and Yahweh H3068 does not see H7200!'
“Therefore H3651 I will judge H8199 you, O house H1004 of Israel H3478, each H376 according to his way H1870,” declares H5002 Lord H136 Yahweh H3068. “[fn]Turn H7725 back H7725 and turn H7725 away H7725 from all H3605 your transgressions H6588, so that iniquity H5771 may not become H1961 a stumbling H4383 block H4383 to you.
‘And fire H784 has gone H3318 out H3318 from its thick H4294 branch H4294;
It has consumed H398 its shoots H909 and fruit H6529,
So that there is not in it a [fn]strong H5797 thick H4294 branch H4294,
A scepter H7626 to rule H4910.'”
This H1931 is a lamentation H7015 and has become H1961 a lamentation H7015.
Then I said H559 I would pour H8210 out H8210 My wrath H2534 on them, to [fn]spend H3615 My anger H639 against them in the midst H8432 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
‘The cedars H730 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could not match H6004 it;
The [fn]cypresses H1265 [fn]could not liken H1819 themselves with its boughs H5589,
And the plane H6196 trees H6196 were not like its branches H6288.
No H3605 H3808 tree H6086 in God's H430 garden H1588 [fn]could liken H1819 itself with it in its beauty H3308.
And behold H2009, one [fn]in the likeness H1823 of the sons H1121 of men H120 was touching H5060 my lips H8193; then I opened H6605 my mouth H6310 and spoke H1696 and said H559 to him who was standing H5975 before H5048 me, “O my lord H113, as a result of the vision that appeared H4759, pains H6735 have come H2015 upon me, and I have retained H6113 no H3808 might H3581.
They will not pour H5258 out H5258 drink H5258 offerings H5258 of wine H3196 to Yahweh H3068;
Their sacrifices H2077 will not please H6149 Him.
Their bread will [fn]be like [fn]mourners' H205 bread H3899;
All H3605 who eat H398 of it will be defiled H2930,
For their bread H3899 will be for [fn]themselves H5315 alone;
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Tyre H6865 and for four H702
I will not turn H7725 back H7725 its punishment
Because H5921 they delivered H5462 up H5462 the whole H8003 community of exiles H1546 to Edom H123
And did not remember H2142 the covenant H1285 of [fn]brotherhood H251.
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Edom H123 and for four H702
I will not turn H7725 back H7725 its punishment
Because H5921 he pursued H7291 his brother H251 with the sword H2719
While he corrupted H7843 his compassion H7356;
Thus H3541 says H559 Yahweh H3068,
“For three H7969 transgressions H6588 of Judah H3063 and for four H702
I will not turn H7725 back H7725 its punishment
Because H5921 they rejected H3988 the law H8451 of Yahweh H3068
And have not kept H8104 His statutes H2706;
Their [fn]falsehood H3577 also has led H8582 them astray H8582,
“Then the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 will be a fire H784
And the house H1004 of Joseph H3130 a flame H3852;
But the house H1004 of Esau H6215 will be as stubble H7179.
And they will set H1814 [fn]them on H1814 fire H1814 and consume H398 [fn]them
So that there will be no H3808 survivor H8300 of the house H1004 of Esau H6215,”
“On that day H3117 they will take H5375 up H5375 against H5921 you a [fn]taunt H4912
And [fn]utter H5091 a bitter H5093 wailing H5092 and say H559,
‘We are completely H7703 devastated H7703!
He exchanges H4171 the portion H2506 of my people H5971;
How H349 He removes H4185 it from me!
To the faithless H7728 one, He apportions H2505 our fields H7704.'
Though H3588 the fig H8384 tree H8384 should not blossom H6524
And there H369 be H369 no H369 produce H2981 on the vines H1612,
Though the yield H4639 of the olive H2132 should fail H3584
And the fields H7709 yield H6213 no H3808 food H400,
Though the flock H6629 should be cut H1504 off H1504 from the fold H4356
And there H369 be H369 no H369 cattle H1241 in the stalls H7517,
This H2088 is the exultant H5947 city H5892
Which inhabits H3427 securely H983,
Who says H559 in her heart H3824,
“I am, and there H657 is H657 no H657 one H657 besides H5750 me.”
How H349 she has become H1961 an object H8047 of horror H8047,
A resting H4769 place H4769 for beasts H2416!
For the teraphim H8655 speak H1696 wickedness H205,
And the diviners H7080 behold H2372 [fn]false H8267 visions H8267
And speak H1696 worthless H7723 dreams H2472;
They comfort H5162 in H1892 vain H1892.
Therefore H5921 H3651 the people journey H5265 like H3644 sheep H6629;
They are H6031 afflicted H6031 because H3588 there H369 is H369 no H369 shepherd H7462.
“I will make the house H1004 of Judah H3063 mighty H1396,
And I will save H3467 the house H1004 of Joseph H3130,
And I will [fn]cause H7725 them to return H7725,
Because H3588 I have H7355 had compassion H7355 on H7355 them;
And they will be as though H834 I had not rejected H2186 them,
For I am Yahweh H3068 their God H430, and I will answer H6030 them.
