¹ H559 Then said [H8799]   H3068 the LORD H4872 unto me, Though Moses H8050 and Samuel H5975 stood [H8799]   H6440 before H5315 me, yet my mind H5971 could not be toward this people H7971 : cast them out [H8761]   H6440 of my sight H3318 , and let them go forth [H8799]  .

² H559 And it shall come to pass, if they say [H8799]   H3318 unto thee, Whither shall we go forth [H8799]   H559 ? then thou shalt tell [H8804]   H559 them, Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H4194 ; Such as are for death H4194 , to death H2719 ; and such as are for the sword H2719 , to the sword H7458 ; and such as are for the famine H7458 , to the famine H7628 ; and such as are for the captivity H7628 , to the captivity.

³ H6485 And I will appoint [H8804]   H702 over them four H4940 kinds H5002 , saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H2719 : the sword H2026 to slay [H8800]   H3611 , and the dogs H5498 to tear [H8800]   H5775 , and the fowls H8064 of the heaven H929 , and the beasts H776 of the earth H398 , to devour [H8800]   H7843 and destroy [H8687]  .

⁴ H5414 And I will cause [H8804]   H2189 them to be removed [H8675]   H2113   H4467 into all kingdoms H776 of the earth H1558 , because H4519 of Manasseh H1121 the son H3169 of Hezekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H6213 , for that which he did [H8804]   H3389 in Jerusalem.

⁵ H2550 For who shall have pity [H8799]   H3389 upon thee, O Jerusalem H5110 ? or who shall bemoan [H8799]   H5493 thee? or who shall go aside [H8799]   H7592 to ask [H8800]   H7965 how thou doest?

⁶ H5203 Thou hast forsaken [H8804]   H5002 me, saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H3212 , thou art gone [H8799]   H268 backward H5186 : therefore will I stretch out [H8686]   H3027 my hand H7843 against thee, and destroy [H8686]   H3811 thee; I am weary [H8738]   H5162 with repenting [H8736]  .

⁷ H2219 And I will fan [H8799]   H4214 them with a fan H8179 in the gates H776 of the land H7921 ; I will bereave [H8765]   H6 them of children, I will destroy [H8765]   H5971 my people H7725 , since they return [H8804]   H1870 not from their ways.

⁸ H490 Their widows H6105 are increased [H8804]   H2344 to me above the sand H3220 of the seas H935 : I have brought [H8689]   H517 upon them against the mother H970 of the young men H7703 a spoiler [H8802]   H6672 at noonday H5307 : I have caused him to fall [H8689]   H6597 upon it suddenly H928 , and terrors H5892 upon the city.

⁹ H3205 She that hath borne [H8802]   H7651 seven H535 languisheth [H8797]   H5301 : she hath given up [H8804]   H5315 the ghost H8121 ; her sun H935 is gone [H8804]   H3119 down while it was yet day [H8676]   H3117   H954 : she hath been ashamed [H8804]   H2659 and confounded [H8804]   H7611 : and the residue H5414 of them will I deliver [H8799]   H2719 to the sword H6440 before H341 their enemies [H8802]   H5002 , saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD.

¹⁰ H188 Woe H517 is me, my mother H3205 , that thou hast borne [H8804]   H376 me a man H7379 of strife H376 and a man H4066 of contention H776 to the whole earth H5383 ! I have neither lent on usury [H8804]   H5383 , nor men have lent to me on usury [H8804]   H7043 ; yet every one of them doth curse [H8764]   me.

¹¹ H3068 The LORD H559 said [H8804]   H3808 , Verily H518   H2896 it shall be well H8281 with thy remnant [H8765]   [H8675]   H8293   H518 ; verily H341 I will cause the enemy [H8802]   H6293 to entreat [H8689]   H6256 thee well in the time H7451 of evil H6256 and in the time H6869 of affliction.

¹² H1270 Shall iron H7489 break [H8799]   H6828 the northern H1270 iron H5178 and the steel?

¹³ H2428 Thy substance H214 and thy treasures H5414 will I give [H8799]   H957 to the spoil H4242 without price H2403 , and that for all thy sins H1366 , even in all thy borders.

¹⁴ H5674 And I will make thee to pass [H8689]   H341 with thine enemies [H8802]   H776 into a land H3045 which thou knowest [H8804]   H784 not: for a fire H6919 is kindled [H8804]   H639 in mine anger H3344 , which shall burn [H8714]   upon you.

¹⁵ H3068 O LORD H3045 , thou knowest [H8804]   H2142 : remember [H8798]   H6485 me, and visit [H8798]   H5358 me, and revenge [H8734]   H7291 me of my persecutors [H8802]   H3947 ; take me not away [H8799]   H639 in thy longsuffering H750   H3045 : know [H8798]   H5375 that for thy sake I have suffered [H8800]   H2781 rebuke.

¹⁶ H1697 Thy words H4672 were found [H8738]   H398 , and I did eat [H8799]   H1697 them; and thy word H8342 was unto me the joy H8057 and rejoicing H3824 of mine heart H7121 : for I am called [H8738]   H8034 by thy name H3068 , O LORD H430 God H6635 of hosts.

¹⁷ H3427 I sat [H8804]   H5475 not in the assembly H7832 of the mockers [H8764]   H5937 , nor rejoiced [H8799]   H3427 ; I sat [H8804]   H910 alone H6440 because H3027 of thy hand H4390 : for thou hast filled [H8765]   H2195 me with indignation.

¹⁸ H3511 Why is my pain H5331 perpetual H4347 , and my wound H605 incurable [H8803]   H3985 , which refuseth [H8765]   H7495 to be healed [H8736]   H391 ? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar H4325 , and as waters H539 that fail [H8738]  ?

¹⁹ H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7725 , If thou return [H8799]   H7725 , then will I bring thee again [H8686]   H5975 , and thou shalt stand [H8799]   H6440 before H3318 me: and if thou take forth [H8686]   H3368 the precious H2151 from the vile [H8802]   H6310 , thou shalt be as my mouth H7725 : let them return [H8799]   H7725 unto thee; but return [H8799]   not thou unto them.

²⁰ H5414 And I will make [H8804]   H5971 thee unto this people H1219 a fenced [H8803]   H5178 brasen H2346 wall H3898 : and they shall fight [H8738]   H3201 against thee, but they shall not prevail [H8799]   H3467 against thee: for I am with thee to save [H8687]   H5337 thee and to deliver [H8687]   H5002 thee, saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD.

²¹ H5337 And I will deliver [H8689]   H3027 thee out of the hand H7451 of the wicked H6299 , and I will redeem [H8804]   H3709 thee out of the hand H6184 of the terrible.
