So Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 went ^H935 to Pharaoh ^H6547 and said ^H559 to him, “This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068, the God ^H430 of the Hebrews ^H5680 says ^H559: ‘How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will you refuse ^H3985 to humble ^H6031 yourself before ^H4480 H6440 Me? Let ^H7971 My people ^H5971 go ^H7971, so that they may serve ^H5647 Me.

Now the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to Samuel ^H8050, “How ^H4970 long ^H5704 are you going to mourn ^H56 for [fn]Saul ^H7586, since I have rejected ^H3988 him from being ^H4427 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478? Fill ^H4390 your horn ^H7161 with oil ^H8081 and go ^H1980; I will send ^H7971 you to Jesse ^H3448 the Bethlehemite ^H1022, because ^H3588 I have chosen ^H7200 a king ^H4428 for Myself among his sons ^H1121.”

“When ^H518 I lie ^H7901 down ^H7901, I say ^H559,

‘When ^H4970 shall I arise ^H6965?’

But the night ^H6153 continues ^H4058,

And I am ^H7646 continually ^H7646 tossing ^H5076 until ^H5704 dawn ^H5399.

And my soul ^H5315 is greatly ^H3966 horrified ^H926;

But You, LORD ^H3068—how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970?

My enemies ^H340 speak ^H559 evil ^H7451 against me,

“When ^H4970 will he die ^H4191, and his name ^H8034 perish ^H6?”

My soul ^H5315 thirsts ^H6770 for God ^H430, for the living ^H2416 God ^H410;

When ^H4970 shall I come ^H935 and [fn]appear ^H7200 before ^H6440 God ^H430?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, God ^H430, will the enemy ^H6862 taunt ^H2778 You?

Shall the enemy ^H340 treat ^H5006 Your name ^H8034 disrespectfully ^H5006 forever ^H5331?

LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of armies ^H6635,

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will You [fn]be angry ^H6225 with the prayer ^H8605 of Your people ^H5971?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will you judge ^H8199 unjustly ^H5766

And show ^H5375 partiality ^H6440 H5375 to the wicked ^H7563? Selah ^H5542

Do return ^H7725, LORD ^H3068; how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will it be?

And [fn]be ^H5162 sorry ^H5162 for Your servants ^H5650.

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, LORD ^H3068, shall the wicked ^H7563—

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 shall the wicked ^H7563 triumph ^H5937?

I will carefully ^H7919 attend ^H7919 to the [fn]blameless ^H8549 way ^H1870.

When ^H4970 will You come ^H935 to me?

I will walk ^H1980 within ^H7130 my house ^H1004 in the [fn]integrity ^H8537 of my heart ^H3824.

My eyes ^H5869 fail ^H3615 with longing for Your [fn]word ^H565,

[fn]While I say ^H559, “When ^H4970 will You comfort ^H5162 me?”

“How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970, you naive ^H6612 ones ^H6612, will you love ^H157 simplistic ^H6612 thinking ^H6612?

And how long will scoffers ^H3887 delight ^H2530 themselves in scoffing ^H3944

And fools ^H3684 hate ^H8130 knowledge ^H1847?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will you lie ^H7901 down ^H7901, you [fn]lazy ^H6102 one ^H6102?

When ^H4970 will you arise ^H6965 from your sleep ^H8142?

“They struck ^H5221 me, but I did not become ^H2470 [fn]ill ^H2470;

They beat ^H1986 me, but I did not know ^H3045 it.

When ^H4970 will I awake ^H6974?

I will seek ^H1245 [fn]another ^H5750 H3254 drink.”

Then I said ^H559, “Lord ^H136, how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970?” And He answered ^H559,

“Until ^{H5704 H834 H518} cities ^H5892 are devastated ^H7582 and without ^H369 inhabitant ^H3427,

Houses ^H1004 are without ^H369 people ^H120

And the land ^H127 is utterly ^H8077 desolate ^H8077,

Wash ^H3526 your heart ^H3820 from evil ^H7451, Jerusalem ^H3389,

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 you may be saved ^H3467.

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will your wicked ^H205 thoughts ^H4284

Lodge ^H3885 within ^H7130 you?

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 is the land ^H776 to mourn ^H56,

And the vegetation ^H6212 of the [fn]countryside ^H3605 H7704 to dry ^H3001 up ^H3001?

Due to the wickedness ^H7451 of those who live ^H3427 in it,

Animals ^H929 and birds ^H5775 have been snatched ^H5595 away ^H5595,

Because ^H3588 people have said ^H559, “He will not see ^H7200 our final ^H319 end ^H319.”

“As for your adulteries ^H5004 and your lustful neighings ^H4684,

The outrageous ^H2154 sin ^H2154 of your prostitution ^H2184

On the hills ^H1389 in the field ^H7704,

I have seen ^H7200 your abominations ^H8251.

Woe ^H188 to you, Jerusalem ^H3389!

How ^H4970 long ^{H310 H4970 H5750} will you remain ^H2891 unclean ^H3808 H2891?”

“How ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will you waver ^H2559,

You rebellious ^H7728 daughter ^H1323?

For the LORD ^H3068 has created ^H1254 a new ^H2319 thing ^H2319 on the earth ^H776:

A woman ^H5347 will shelter ^H5437 a man ^H1397.”

“Baldness ^H7144 has come ^H935 upon Gaza ^H5804;

Ashkelon ^H831 has been destroyed ^H1820.

Remnant ^H7611 of their valley ^H6010,

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will you gash ^H1413 yourself?

[fn]He has rejected ^H2186 your calf ^H5695, Samaria ^H8111, saying,

“My anger ^H639 burns ^H2734 against them!”

How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will they be ^H3201 incapable ^H3808 H3201 of innocence ^H5356?

“When ^H4970 will the new ^H2320 moon ^H2320 [fn]be ^H5674 over ^H5674,

So that we may sell ^H7666 grain ^H7668;

And the Sabbath ^H7676, so that we may open ^H6605 the wheat ^H1250 market,

To make ^H6994 the [fn]ephah ^H374 smaller ^H6994 and the [fn]shekel ^H8255 bigger ^H1431,

And to cheat ^H5791 with dishonest ^H4820 scales ^H3976,

“Will all ^H3605 of these ^H428 not take ^H5375 up ^H5375 a song ^H4912 of ^H4912 ridicule ^H4912 against ^H5921 him,

Even a saying ^H4426 and insinuations ^H2420 against him

And say ^H559, ‘Woe ^H1945 to him who increases ^H7235 what is not his—

For how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970—

And makes ^H3513 himself [fn]rich ^H3513 with debts ^H5671!’

Then the angel ^H4397 of the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559, “LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will You take ^H7355 no ^H3808 pity ^H7355 on ^H7355 Jerusalem ^H3389 and the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, with which ^H834 You have been ^H2194 indignant ^H2194 for these ^H2088 seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141?”
