1 A t that time,H6256 saithH5002 Jehovah,H3068 they shall bring outH3318 the bonesH6106 of the kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 and the bonesH6106 of his princes,H8269 and the bonesH6106 of the priests,H3548 and the bonesH6106 of the prophets,H5030 and the bonesH6106 of the inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem,H3389 out of their graves;H6913
2 and they shall spreadH7849 them before the sun,H8121 and the moon,H3394 and all the hostH6635 of heaven,H8064 which they have loved,H157 and which they have served,H5647 and afterH310 which they have walked,H1980 and which they have sought,H1875 and which they have worshipped:H7812 they shall not be gathered,H622 nor be buried,H6912 they shall be for dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the earth.H127
3 And deathH4194 shall be chosenH977 rather than lifeH2416 by all the residueH7611 that remainH7604 of this evilH7451 family,H4940 that remainH7604 in all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 them, saithH5002 JehovahH3068 of hosts.H6635
4 Moreover thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 Jehovah:H3068 Shall men fall,H5307 and not riseH6965 up again? Shall one turn away,H7725 and not return?H7725
5 Why then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetualH5329 backsliding?H4878 they holdH2388 fast deceit,H8649 they refuseH3985 to return.H7725
6 I hearkenedH7181 and heard,H8085 but they spake not aright:H1696 no manH376 repentethH5162 him ofH5921 his wickedness,H7451 saying,H559 What have I done?H6213 every one turnethH7725 to his course,H4794 as a horseH5483 that rushethH7857 headlong in the battle.H4421
7 Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavensH8064 knowethH3045 her appointed times;H4150 and the turtle-doveH8449 and the swallowH5693 and the craneH5483 observeH8104 the timeH6256 of their coming;H935 but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 not the lawH4941 of Jehovah.H3068
8 How do ye say,H559 We are wise,H2450 and the lawH8451 of JehovahH3068 is with us? But, behold,H403 the falseH8267 penH5842 of the scribesH5608 hath wroughtH6213 falsely.H8267
9 The wiseH2450 men are put to shame,H3001 they are dismayedH2865 and taken:H3920 lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of Jehovah;H3068 and what manner of wisdomH2451 is in them?
10 Therefore will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto others,H312 and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall possessH3423 them: for every one from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419 is givenH1214 to covetousness;H1215 from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falsely.H8267
11 And they have healedH7495 the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightly,H7043 saying,H559 Peace,H7965 peace;H7965 when there is no peace.H7965
12 Were they ashamedH3001 when they had committedH6213 abomination?H8441 nay, they were not at allH954 ashamed,H954 neither couldH3045 they blush:H3637 therefore shall they fallH5307 among them that fall;H5307 in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall be cast down,H3782 saithH559 Jehovah.H3068
13 I will utterlyH622 consumeH5486 them, saithH5002 Jehovah:H3068 there shall be no grapesH6025 on the vine,H1612 nor figsH8384 on the fig-tree,H8384 and the leafH5929 shall fade;H5034 and [the things that] I have givenH5414 them shall pass awayH5674 from them.
14 Why do we sit still?H3427 assembleH622 yourselves, and let us enterH935 into the fortifiedH4013 cities,H5892 and let us be silentH1826 there; for JehovahH3068 our GodH430 hath put us to silence,H1826 and given us waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drink,H8248 because we have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah.H3068
15 We lookedH6960 for peace,H7965 but no goodH2896 came; [and] for a timeH6256 of healing,H4832 and, behold, dismay!H1205
16 The snortingH5170 of his horsesH5483 is heardH8085 from Dan:H1835 at the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his strong onesH47 the whole landH776 trembleth;H7493 for they are come,H935 and have devouredH398 the landH776 and allH4393 that is in it; the cityH5892 and those that dwellH3427 therein.
17 For, behold, I will sendH7971 serpents,H5175 adders,H6848 among you, which will not be charmed;H3908 and they shall biteH5391 you, saithH5002 Jehovah.H3068
18 Oh that I could comfortH4010 myself against sorrow!H3015 my heartH3820 is faintH1742 within me.
19 Behold, the voiceH6963 of the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 from a landH776 that is very farH4801 off: Is not JehovahH3068 in Zion?H6726 is not her KingH4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to angerH3707 with their graven images,H6456 and with foreignH5236 vanities?H1892
20 The harvestH7105 is past,H5674 the summerH7019 is ended,H3615 and we are not saved.H3467
21 For the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 am I hurt:H7665 I mourn;H6937 dismayH8047 hath taken holdH2388 on me.
22 Is there no balmH6875 in Gilead?H1568 is there no physicianH7495 there? why thenH3588 is not the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 recovered?H5927
