1 # At that time <06256>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, they shall bring out <03318> (8686) the bones <06106> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>, and the bones <06106> of his princes <08269>, and the bones <06106> of the priests <03548>, and the bones <06106> of the prophets <05030>, and the bones <06106> of the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, out of their graves <06913>:
2 And they shall spread <07849> (8804) them before the sun <08121>, and the moon <03394>, and all the host <06635> of heaven <08064>, whom they have loved <0157> (8804), and whom they have served <05647> (8804), and after <0310> whom they have walked <01980> (8804), and whom they have sought <01875> (8804), and whom they have worshipped <07812> (8694): they shall not be gathered <0622> (8735), nor be buried <06912> (8735); they shall be for dung <01828> upon the face <06440> of the earth <0127>.
3 And death <04194> shall be chosen <0977> (8738) rather than life <02416> by all the residue <07611> of them that remain <07604> (8737) of this evil <07451> family <04940>, which remain <07604> (8737) in all the places <04725> whither I have driven <05080> (8689) them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
4 # Moreover thou shalt say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Shall they fall <05307> (8799), and not arise <06965> (8799)? shall he turn away <07725> (8799), and not return <07725> (8799) ?
5 Why then is this people <05971> of Jerusalem <03389> slidden back <07725> (8790) by a perpetual <05329> (8737) backsliding <04878>? they hold <02388> (8689) fast deceit <08649>, they refuse <03985> (8765) to return <07725> (8800).
6 I hearkened <07181> (8689) and heard <08085> (8799), but they spake not aright <01696> (8762) : no man <0376> repented <05162> (8737) him of <05921> his wickedness <07451>, saying <0559> (8800), What have I done <06213> (8804)? every one turned <07725> (8804) to his course <04794>, as the horse <05483> rusheth <07857> (8802) into the battle <04421>.
7 Yea, the stork <02624> in the heaven <08064> knoweth <03045> (8804) her appointed times <04150>; and the turtle <08449> and the crane <05483> and the swallow <05693> observe <08104> (8804) the time <06256> of their coming <0935> (8800); but my people <05971> know <03045> (8804) not the judgment <04941> of the LORD <03068>.
8 How do ye say <0559> (8799), We are wise <02450>, and the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> is with us? Lo, certainly <0403> in vain <08267> made <06213> (8804) he it; the pen <05842> of the scribes <05608> (8802) is in vain <08267>.
9 The wise <02450> men are ashamed <03001> (8689), they are dismayed <02865> (8804) and taken <03920> (8735): lo, they have rejected <03988> (8804) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>; and what wisdom <02451> is in them?
10 Therefore will I give <05414> (8799) their wives <0802> unto others <0312>, and their fields <07704> to them that shall inherit <03423> (8802) them: for every one from the least <06996> even unto the greatest <01419> is given <01214> (8802) to covetousness <01215>, from the prophet <05030> even unto the priest <03548> every one dealeth <06213> (8802) falsely <08267>.
11 For they have healed <07495> (8762) the hurt <07667> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971> slightly <07043> (8738), saying <0559> (8800), Peace <07965>, peace <07965>; when there is no peace <07965>.
12 Were they ashamed <03001> (8689) when they had committed <06213> (8804) abomination <08441>? nay, they were not at all <0954> (8800) ashamed <0954> (8799), neither could <03045> (8804) they blush <03637> (8736) : therefore shall they fall <05307> (8799) among them that fall <05307> (8802): in the time <06256> of their visitation <06486> they shall be cast down <03782> (8735), saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>.
13 # I will surely <0622> (8800) consume <05486> (8686) them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> : there shall be no grapes <06025> on the vine <01612>, nor figs <08384> on the fig tree <08384>, and the leaf <05929> shall fade <05034> (8804); and the things that I have given <05414> (8799) them shall pass away <05674> (8799) from them.
14 Why do we sit still <03427> (8802)? assemble <0622> (8734) yourselves, and let us enter <0935> (8799) into the defenced <04013> cities <05892>, and let us be silent <01826> (8735) there: for the LORD <03068> our God <0430> hath put us to silence <01826> (8689), and given us water <04325> of gall <07219> to drink <08248> (8686), because we have sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068>.
15 We looked <06960> (8763) for peace <07965>, but no good <02896> came; and for a time <06256> of health <04832>, and behold trouble <01205>!
16 The snorting <05170> of his horses <05483> was heard <08085> (8738) from Dan <01835>: the whole land <0776> trembled <07493> (8804) at the sound <06963> of the neighing <04684> of his strong ones <047>; for they are come <0935> (8799), and have devoured <0398> (8799) the land <0776>, and all <04393> that is in it; the city <05892>, and those that dwell <03427> (8802) therein.
17 For, behold, I will send <07971> (8764) serpents <05175>, cockatrices <06848>, among you, which will not be charmed <03908>, and they shall bite <05391> (8765) you, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
18 When I would comfort <04010> myself against sorrow <03015>, my heart <03820> is faint <01742> in me.
19 Behold the voice <06963> of the cry <07775> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971> because of them that dwell in a far <04801> country <0776>: Is not the LORD <03068> in Zion <06726>? is not her king <04428> in her? Why have they provoked me to anger <03707> (8689) with their graven images <06456>, and with strange <05236> vanities <01892>?
20 The harvest <07105> is past <05674> (8804), the summer <07019> is ended <03615> (8804), and we are not saved <03467> (8738).
21 For the hurt <07667> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971> am I hurt <07665> (8717); I am black <06937> (8804); astonishment <08047> hath taken hold <02388> (8689) on me.
22 Is there no balm <06875> in Gilead <01568>; is there no physician <07495> (8802) there? why then <03588> is not the health <0724> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971> recovered <05927> (8804)?
