1 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came also unto me, saying 559,
2 Thou shalt not take 3947 thee a wife 802, neither shalt thou have sons 1121 or daughters 1323 in this place 4725.
3 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 concerning the sons 1121 and concerning the daughters 1323 that are born 3205 in this place 4725, and concerning their mothers 517 that bare 3205 them, and concerning their fathers 1 that begat 3209 them in this land 776;
4 They shall die 4191 of grievous 8463 deaths 4463; they shall not be lamented 5594; neither shall they be buried 6912; but they shall be as dung 1828 upon the face 6440 of the earth 127: and they shall be consumed 3615 by the sword 2719, and by famine 7458; and their carcases 5038 shall be meat 3978 for the fowls 5775 of heaven 8064, and for the beasts 929 of the earth 776.
5 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, Enter 935 not into the house 1004 of mourning 4798, neither go 3212 to lament 5594 nor bemoan 5110 them: for I have taken away 622 my peace 7965 from this people 5971, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, even lovingkindness 2617 and mercies 7356.
6 Both the great 1419 and the small 6996 shall die 4191 in this land 776: they shall not be buried 6912, neither shall men lament 5594 for them, nor cut 1413 themselves, nor make themselves bald 7139 for them:
7 Neither shall men tear 6536 themselves for them in mourning 60, to comfort 5162 them for the dead 4191; neither shall men give them the cup 3563 of consolation 8575 to drink 8248 for their father 1 or for their mother 517.
8 Thou shalt not also go 935 into the house 1004 of feasting 4960, to sit 3427 with them to eat 398 and to drink 8354.
9 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will cause to cease 7673 out of this place 4725 in your eyes 5869, and in your days 3117, the voice 6963 of mirth 8342, and the voice 6963 of gladness 8057, the voice 6963 of the bridegroom 2860, and the voice 6963 of the bride 3618.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew 5046 this people 5971 all these words 1697, and they shall say 559 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD 3068 pronounced 1696 all this great 1419 evil 7451 against us? or what is our iniquity 5771? or what is our sin 2403 that we have committed 2398 against the LORD 3068 our God 430?
11 Then shalt thou say 559 unto them, Because your fathers 1 have forsaken 5800 me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, and have walked 3212 after 310 other 312 gods 430, and have served 5647 them, and have worshipped 7812 them, and have forsaken 5800 me, and have not kept 8104 my law 8451;
12 And ye have done 6213 worse 7489 than your fathers 1; for, behold 2009, ye walk 1980 every one 376 after 310 the imagination 8307 of his evil 7451 heart 3820, that they may not hearken 8085 unto me:
13 Therefore will I cast 2904 you out of this land 776 into a land 776 that ye know 3045 not, neither ye nor your fathers 1; and there shall ye serve 5647 other 312 gods 430 day 3119 and night 3915; where I will not shew 5414 you favour 2594.
14 Therefore, behold, the days 3117 come 935, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, that it shall no more be said 559, The LORD 3068 liveth 2416, that brought up 5927 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714;
15 But, The LORD 3068 liveth 2416, that brought up 5927 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 from the land 776 of the north 6828, and from all the lands 776 whither he had driven 5080 them: and I will bring them again 7725 into their land 127 that I gave 5414 unto their fathers 1.
16 Behold, I will send 7971 for many 7227 fishers 1771 1728, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, and they shall fish 1770 them; and after 310 will I send 7971 for many 7227 hunters 6719, and they shall hunt 6679 them from every mountain 2022, and from every hill 1389, and out of the holes 5357 of the rocks 5553.
17 For mine eyes 5869 are upon all their ways 1870: they are not hid 5641 from my face 6440, neither is their iniquity 5771 hid 6845 from 5048 mine eyes 5869.
18 And first 7223 I will recompense 7999 their iniquity 5771 and their sin 2403 double 4932; because they have defiled 2490 my land 776, they have filled 4390 mine inheritance 5159 with the carcases 5038 of their detestable 8251 and abominable things 8441.
19 O LORD 3068, my strength 5797, and my fortress 4581, and my refuge 4498 in the day 3117 of affliction 6869, the Gentiles 1471 shall come 935 unto thee from the ends 657 of the earth 776, and shall say 559, Surely our fathers 1 have inherited 5157 lies 8267, vanity 1892, and things wherein there is no profit 3276.
20 Shall a man 120 make 6213 gods 430 unto himself, and they are no gods 430?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once 6471 cause them to know 3045, I will cause them to know 3045 mine hand 3027 and my might 1369; and they shall know 3045 that my name 8034 is The LORD 3068.
