¹ H7751 Run ye to and fro [H8786]   H2351 through the streets H3389 of Jerusalem H7200 , and see [H8798]   H3045 now, and know [H8798]   H1245 , and seek [H8761]   H7339 in the broad places H4672 thereof, if ye can find [H8799]   H376 a man H3426 , if there be H6213 any that executeth [H8802]   H4941 judgment H1245 , that seeketh [H8764]   H530 the truth H5545 ; and I will pardon [H8799]   it.

² H559 And though they say [H8799]   H3068 , The LORD H2416 liveth H7650 ; surely they swear [H8735]   H8267 falsely.

³ H3068 O LORD H5869 , are not thine eyes H530 upon the truth H5221 ? thou hast stricken [H8689]   H2342 them, but they have not grieved [H8804]   H3615 ; thou hast consumed [H8765]   H3985 them, but they have refused [H8765]   H3947 to receive [H8800]   H4148 correction H6440 : they have made their faces H2388 harder [H8765]   H5553 than a rock H3985 ; they have refused [H8765]   H7725 to return [H8800]  .

⁴ H559 Therefore I said [H8804]   H1800 , Surely these are poor H2973 ; they are foolish [H8738]   H3045 : for they know [H8804]   H1870 not the way H3068 of the LORD H4941 , nor the judgment H430 of their God.

⁵ H3212 I will get [H8799]   H1419 me unto the great men H1696 , and will speak [H8762]   H3045 unto them; for they have known [H8804]   H1870 the way H3068 of the LORD H4941 , and the judgment H430 of their God H3162 : but these have altogether H7665 broken [H8804]   H5923 the yoke H5423 , and burst [H8765]   H4147 the bonds.

⁶ H738 Wherefore a lion H3293 out of the forest H5221 shall slay [H8689]   H2061 them, and a wolf H6160 of the evenings H7703 shall spoil [H8799]   H5246 them, a leopard H8245 shall watch [H8802]   H5892 over their cities H3318 : every one that goeth out [H8802]   H2007 thence shall H2963 be torn in pieces [H8735]   H6588 : because their transgressions H7231 are many [H8804]   H4878 , and their backslidings H6105 are increased [H8804]  .

⁷ H335 How H5545 shall I pardon [H8799]   H2063 thee for this H1121 ? thy children H5800 have forsaken [H8804]   H7650 me, and sworn [H8735]   H3808 by them that are no H430 gods H7650 : when I had fed them to the full [H8686]   H5003 , they then committed adultery [H8799]   H1413 , and assembled themselves by troops [H8704]   H2181 in the harlots [H8802]   H1004 ' houses.

⁸ H2109 They were as fed [H8716]   H5483 horses H7904 in the morning [H8688]   H376 : every one H6670 neighed [H8799]   H7453 after his neighbour's H802 wife.

⁹ H6485 Shall I not visit [H8799]   H5002 for these things ? saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H5315 : and shall not my soul H5358 be avenged [H8691]   H1471 on such a nation as this?

¹⁰ H5927 Go ye up [H8798]   H8284 upon her walls H7843 , and destroy [H8761]   H6213 ; but make [H8799]   H3617 not a full end H5493 : take away [H8685]   H5189 her battlements H3068 ; for they are not the LORD'S.

¹¹ H1004 For the house H3478 of Israel H1004 and the house H3063 of Judah H898 have dealt very [H8800]   H898 treacherously [H8804]   H5002 against me, saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD.

¹² H3584 They have belied [H8765]   H3068 the LORD H559 , and said [H8799]   H7451 , It is not he; neither shall evil H935 come [H8799]   H7200 upon us; neither shall we see [H8799]   H2719 sword H7458 nor famine:

¹³ H5030 And the prophets H7307 shall become wind H1696 , and the word [H8763]   H6213 is not in them: thus shall it be done [H8735]   unto them.

¹⁴ H559 Wherefore thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H430 God H6635 of hosts H1696 , Because ye speak [H8763]   H1697 this word H5414 , behold, I will make [H8802]   H1697 my words H6310 in thy mouth H784 fire H5971 , and this people H6086 wood H398 , and it shall devour [H8804]   them.

¹⁵ H935 Lo, I will bring [H8688]   H1471 a nation H4801 upon you from far H1004 , O house H3478 of Israel H5002 , saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H386 : it is a mighty H1471 nation H5769 , it is an ancient H1471 nation H1471 , a nation H3956 whose language H3045 thou knowest [H8799]   H8085 not, neither understandest [H8799]   H1696 what they say [H8762]  .

¹⁶ H827 Their quiver H6605 is as an open [H8803]   H6913 sepulchre H1368 , they are all mighty men.

¹⁷ H398 And they shall eat up [H8804]   H7105 thine harvest H3899 , and thy bread H1121 , which thy sons H1323 and thy daughters H398 should eat [H8799]   H398 : they shall eat up [H8799]   H6629 thy flocks H1241 and thine herds H398 : they shall eat up [H8799]   H1612 thy vines H8384 and thy fig trees H7567 : they shall impoverish [H8779]   H4013 thy fenced H5892 cities H2007 , wherein thou H982 trustedst [H8802]   H2719 , with the sword.

¹⁸ H3117 Nevertheless in those days H5002 , saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H6213 , I will not make [H8799]   H3617 a full end with you.

¹⁹ H559 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say [H8799]   H8478 , Wherefore H4100   H6213 doeth [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H430 our God H559 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer [H8804]   H5800 them, Like as ye have forsaken [H8804]   H5647 me, and served [H8799]   H5236 strange H430 gods H776 in your land H5647 , so shall ye serve [H8799]   H2114 strangers [H8801]   H776 in a land that is not yours.

²⁰ H5046 Declare [H8685]   H1004 this in the house H3290 of Jacob H8085 , and publish [H8685]   H3063 it in Judah H559 , saying [H8800]  ,

²¹ H8085 Hear [H8798]   H5530 now this, O foolish H5971 people H3820 , and without understanding H5869 ; which have eyes H7200 , and see [H8799]   H241 not; which have ears H8085 , and hear [H8799]   not:

²² H3372 Fear [H8799]   H5002 ye not me? saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H2342 : will ye not tremble [H8799]   H6440 at my presence H7760 , which have placed [H8804]   H2344 the sand H1366 for the bound H3220 of the sea H5769 by a perpetual H2706 decree H5674 , that it cannot pass [H8799]   H1530 it: and though the waves H1607 thereof toss [H8691]   H3201 themselves, yet can they not prevail [H8799]   H1993 ; though they roar [H8804]   H5674 , yet can they not pass over [H8799]   it?

²³ H5971 But this people H5637 hath a revolting [H8802]   H4784 and a rebellious [H8802]   H3820 heart H5493 ; they are revolted [H8804]   H3212 and gone [H8799]  .

²⁴ H559 Neither say [H8804]   H3824 they in their heart H3372 , Let us now fear [H8799]   H3068 the LORD H430 our God H5414 , that giveth [H8802]   H1653 rain H3138 , both the former H4456 and the latter H6256 , in his season H8104 : he reserveth [H8799]   H2708 unto us the appointed H7620 weeks H7105 of the harvest.

²⁵ H5771 Your iniquities H5186 have turned away [H8689]   H2403 these things, and your sins H4513 have withholden [H8804]   H2896 good things from you.

²⁶ H5971 For among my people H4672 are found [H8738]   H7563 wicked H7789 men : they lay wait [H8799]   H7918 , as he that setteth [H8800]   H3353 snares H5324 ; they set [H8689]   H4889 a trap H3920 , they catch [H8799]   H582 men.

²⁷ H3619 As a cage H4392 is full H5775 of birds H1004 , so are their houses H4392 full H4820 of deceit H1431 : therefore they are become great [H8804]   H6238 , and waxen rich [H8686]  .

²⁸ H8080 They are waxen fat [H8804]   H6245 , they shine [H8804]   H5674 : yea, they overpass [H8804]   H1697 the deeds H7451 of the wicked H1777 : they judge [H8804]   H1779 not the cause H3490 , the cause of the fatherless H6743 , yet they prosper [H8686]   H4941 ; and the right H34 of the needy H8199 do they not judge [H8804]  .

²⁹ H6485 Shall I not visit [H8799]   H5002 for these things ? saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H5315 : shall not my soul H5358 be avenged [H8691]   H1471 on such a nation as this?

³⁰ H8047 A wonderful H8186 and horrible thing H1961 is committed [H8738]   H776 in the land;

³¹ H5030 The prophets H5012 prophesy [H8738]   H8267 falsely H3548 , and the priests H7287 bear rule [H8799]   H3027 by their means H5971 ; and my people H157 love [H8804]   H6213 to have it so: and what will ye do [H8799]   H319 in the end thereof?
