2 ♥ 📝 The^H1820 comely^H5116 and delicate^H6026 one, the daughter^H1323 of Zion,^H6726 will I cut off.

11 ♥ 📝 Therefore I am full^H4392 of the wrath^H2534 of Jehovah;^H3068 I am weary^H3811 with holding in:^H3557 pour it out^H8210 upon the children^H5768 in the street,^H2351 and upon the assembly^H5475 of young men^H970 together;^H3162 for even the husband^H376 with the wife^H802 shall be taken,^H3920 the aged^H2205 with him that is full^H4390 of days.^H3117

12 ♥ 📝 And their houses^H1004 shall be turned^H5437 unto others,^H312 their fields^H7704 and their wives^H802 together;^H3162 for I will stretch out^H5186 my hand^H3027 upon the inhabitants^H3427 of the land,^H776 saith^H5002 Jehovah.^H3068

13 ♥ 📝 For from the least^H6996 of them even unto the greatest^H1419 of them every one is given^H1214 to covetousness;^H1215 and from the prophet^H5030 even unto the priest^H3548 every one dealeth^H6213 falsely.^H8267

14 ♥ 📝 They have healed^H7495 also the hurt^H7667 of my people^H5971 slightly,^H7043 saying,^H559 Peace,^H7965 peace;^H7965 when there is no peace.^H7965

15 ♥ 📝 Were they ashamed^H3001 when they had committed^H6213 abomination?^H8441 nay,^H1571 they were not at all^H954 ashamed,^H954 neither^H1571 could^H3045 they blush:^H3637 therefore they shall fall^H5307 among them that fall;^H5307 at the time^H6256 that I visit^H6485 them they shall be cast down,^H3782 saith^H559 Jehovah.^H3068

16 ♥ 📝 Thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 Stand^H5975 ye in the ways^H1870 and see,^H7200 and ask^H7592 for the old^H5769 paths,^H5410 where is the good^H2896 way;^H1870 and walk^H3212 therein, and ye shall find^H4672 rest^H4771 for your souls:^H5315 but they said,^H559 We will not walk^H3212 [therein].

17 ♥ 📝 And I set^H6965 watchmen^H6822 over you, [saying], Hearken^H7181 to the sound^H6963 of the trumpet;^H7782 but they said,^H559 We will not hearken.^H7181

20 ♥ 📝 To what purpose cometh^H935 there to me frankincense^H3828 from Sheba,^H7614 and the sweet^H2896 cane^H7070 from a far^H4801 country?^H776 your burnt-offerings^H5930 are not acceptable,^H7522 nor your sacrifices^H2077 pleasing^H6149 unto me.

21 ♥ 📝 Therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah,^H3068 Behold, I will lay^H5414 stumbling-blocks^H4383 before this people;^H5971 and the fathers^H1 and the sons^H1121 together^H3162 shall stumble^H3782 against them; the neighbor^H7934 and his friend^H7453 shall perish.^H6

23 ♥ 📝 They lay hold^H2388 on bow^H7198 and spear;^H3591 they are cruel,^H394 and have no mercy;^H7355 their voice^H6963 roareth^H1993 like the sea,^H3220 and they ride^H7392 upon horses,^H5483 every one set in array,^H6186 as a man^H376 to the battle,^H4421 against thee, O daughter^H1323 of Zion.^H6726

24 ♥ 📝 We have heard^H8085 the report^H8089 thereof; our hands^H3027 wax feeble:^H7503 anguish^H6869 hath taken hold^H2388 of us, [and] pangs^H2427 as of a woman in travail.^H3205

25 ♥ 📝 Go not forth^H3318 into the field,^H7704 nor walk^H3212 by the way;^H1870 for the sword^H2719 of the enemy,^H341 [and] terror,^H4032 are on every side.^H5439

26 ♥ 📝 O daughter^H1323 of my people,^H5971 gird^H2296 thee with sackcloth,^H8242 and wallow^H6428 thyself in ashes:^H665 make^H6213 thee mourning,^H60 as for an only son,^H3173 most bitter^H8563 lamentation;^H4553 for the destroyer^H7703 shall suddenly^H6597 come^H935 upon us.

27 ♥ 📝 I have made^H5414 thee a trier^H969 [and] a fortress^H4013 among my people;^H5971 that thou mayest know^H3045 and try^H974 their way.^H1870

28 ♥ 📝 They are all grievous^H5493 revolters,^H5637 going^H1980 about with slanders;^H7400 they are brass^H5178 and iron:^H1270 they all of them deal corruptly.^H7843

29 ♥ 📝 The bellows^H4647 blow fiercely;^H2787 the lead^H5777 is consumed^H8552 of the fire:^H800 in vain^H7723 do they go^H6884 on refining;^H6884 for the wicked^H7451 are not plucked away.^H5423

30 ♥ 📝 Refuse^H3988 silver^H3701 shall men call^H7121 them, because Jehovah^H3068 hath rejected^H3988 them.
