8 ♥ 📝 O thou hope^H4723 of Israel,^H3478 the Saviour^H3467 thereof in the time^H6256 of trouble,^H6869 why shouldest thou be as a sojourner^H1616 in the land,^H776 and as a wayfaring man^H732 that turneth aside^H5186 to tarry for a night?^H3885

13 ♥ 📝 Then said^H559 I, Ah,^H162 Lord^H136 Jehovah!^H3069 behold, the prophets^H5030 say^H559 unto them, Ye shall not see^H7200 the sword,^H2719 neither shall ye have famine;^H7458 but I will give^H5414 you assured^H571 peace^H7965 in this place.^H4725

14 ♥ 📝 Then Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, The prophets^H5030 prophesy^H5012 lies^H8267 in my name;^H8034 I sent^H7971 them not, neither have I commanded^H6680 them, neither spake^H1696 I unto them: they prophesy^H5012 unto you a lying^H8267 vision,^H2377 and divination,^H7081 and a thing of nought,^H457 and the deceit^H8649 of their own heart.^H3820

17 ♥ 📝 And thou shalt say^H559 this word^H1697 unto them, Let mine eyes^H5869 run down^H3381 with tears^H1832 night^H3915 and day,^H3119 and let them not cease;^H1820 for the virgin^H1330 daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 is broken^H7665 with a great^H1419 breach,^H7667 with a very^H3966 grievous^H2470 wound.^H4347

18 ♥ 📝 If I go forth^H3318 into the field,^H7704 then, behold, the slain^H2491 with the sword!^H2719 and if I enter^H935 into the city,^H5892 then, behold, they that are sick^H8463 with famine!^H7458 for both the prophet^H5030 and the priest^H3548 go about^H5503 in the land,^H776 and have no knowledge.^H3045

19 ♥ 📝 Hast thou utterly^H3988 rejected^H3988 Judah?^H3063 hath thy soul^H5315 loathed^H1602 Zion?^H6726 why hast thou smitten^H5221 us, and there is no healing^H4832 for us? We looked^H6960 for peace,^H7965 but no good^H2896 came; and for a time^H6256 of healing,^H4832 and, behold, dismay!^H1205

20 ♥ 📝 We acknowledge,^H3045 O Jehovah,^H3068 our wickedness,^H7562 and the iniquity^H5771 of our fathers;^H1 for we have sinned^H2398 against thee.
