1 Run ye to and fro 7751 through the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389, and see 7200 now, and know 3045, and seek 1245 in the broad places 7339 thereof, if ye can find 4672 a man 376, if there be 3426 any that executeth 6213 judgment 4941, that seeketh 1245 the truth 530; and I will pardon 5545 it.
2 And though they say 559, The LORD 3068 liveth 2416; surely they swear 7650 falsely 8267.
3 O LORD 3068, are not thine eyes 5869 upon the truth 530? thou hast stricken 5221 them, but they have not grieved 2342; thou hast consumed 3615 them, but they have refused 3985 to receive 3947 correction 4148: they have made their faces 6440 harder 2388 than a rock 5553; they have refused 3985 to return 7725.
4 Therefore I said 559, Surely these are poor 1800; they are foolish 2973: for they know 3045 not the way 1870 of the LORD 3068, nor the judgment 4941 of their God 430.
5 I will get 3212 me unto the great men 1419, and will speak 1696 unto them; for they have known 3045 the way 1870 of the LORD 3068, and the judgment 4941 of their God 430: but these have altogether 3162 broken 7665 the yoke 5923, and burst 5423 the bonds 4147.
6 Wherefore a lion 738 out of the forest 3293 shall slay 5221 them, and a wolf 2061 of the evenings 6160 shall spoil 7703 them, a leopard 5246 shall watch 8245 over their cities 5892: every one that goeth out 3318 thence shall 2007 be torn in pieces 2963: because their transgressions 6588 are many 7231, and their backslidings 4878 are increased 6105.
7 How 335 shall I pardon 5545 thee for this 2063? thy children 1121 have forsaken 5800 me, and sworn 7650 by them that are no 3808 gods 430: when I had fed them to the full 7650, they then committed adultery 5003, and assembled themselves by troops 1413 in the harlots 2181' houses 1004.
8 They were as fed 2109 horses 5483 in the morning 7904: every one 376 neighed 6670 after his neighbour's 7453 wife 802.
9 Shall I not visit 6485 for these things? saith 5002 the LORD 3068: and shall not my soul 5315 be avenged 5358 on such a nation 1471 as this?
10 Go ye up 5927 upon her walls 8284, and destroy 7843; but make 6213 not a full end 3617: take away 5493 her battlements 5189; for they are not the LORD'S 3068.
11 For the house 1004 of Israel 3478 and the house 1004 of Judah 3063 have dealt very 898 treacherously 898 against me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
12 They have belied 3584 the LORD 3068, and said 559, It is not he; neither shall evil 7451 come 935 upon us; neither shall we see 7200 sword 2719 nor famine 7458:
13 And the prophets 5030 shall become wind 7307, and the word 1696 is not in them: thus shall it be done 6213 unto them.
14 Wherefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 God 430 of hosts 6635, Because ye speak 1696 this word 1697, behold, I will make 5414 my words 1697 in thy mouth 6310 fire 784, and this people 5971 wood 6086, and it shall devour 398 them.
15 Lo, I will bring 935 a nation 1471 upon you from far 4801, O house 1004 of Israel 3478, saith 5002 the LORD 3068: it is a mighty 386 nation 1471, it is an ancient 5769 nation 1471, a nation 1471 whose language 3956 thou knowest 3045 not, neither understandest 8085 what they say 1696.
16 Their quiver 827 is as an open 6605 sepulchre 6913, they are all mighty men 1368.
17 And they shall eat up 398 thine harvest 7105, and thy bread 3899, which thy sons 1121 and thy daughters 1323 should eat 398: they shall eat up 398 thy flocks 6629 and thine herds 1241: they shall eat up 398 thy vines 1612 and thy fig trees 8384: they shall impoverish 7567 thy fenced 4013 cities 5892, wherein thou 2007 trustedst 982, with the sword 2719.
18 Nevertheless in those days 3117, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, I will not make 6213 a full end 3617 with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say 559, Wherefore 8478 4100 doeth 6213 the LORD 3068 our God 430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer 559 them, Like as ye have forsaken 5800 me, and served 5647 strange 5236 gods 430 in your land 776, so shall ye serve 5647 strangers 2114 in a land 776 that is not yours.
20 Declare 5046 this in the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, and publish 8085 it in Judah 3063, saying 559,
21 Hear 8085 now this, O foolish 5530 people 5971, and without understanding 3820; which have eyes 5869, and see 7200 not; which have ears 241, and hear 8085 not:
22 Fear 3372 ye not me? saith 5002 the LORD 3068: will ye not tremble 2342 at my presence 6440, which have placed 7760 the sand 2344 for the bound 1366 of the sea 3220 by a perpetual 5769 decree 2706, that it cannot pass 5674 it: and though the waves 1530 thereof toss 1607 themselves, yet can they not prevail 3201; though they roar 1993, yet can they not pass over 5674 it?
23 But this people 5971 hath a revolting 5637 and a rebellious 4784 heart 3820; they are revolted 5493 and gone 3212.
24 Neither say 559 they in their heart 3824, Let us now fear 3372 the LORD 3068 our God 430, that giveth 5414 rain 1653, both the former 3138 and the latter 4456, in his season 6256: he reserveth 8104 unto us the appointed 2708 weeks 7620 of the harvest 7105.
25 Your iniquities 5771 have turned away 5186 these things, and your sins 2403 have withholden 4513 good 2896 things from you.
26 For among my people 5971 are found 4672 wicked 7563 men: they lay wait 7789, as he that setteth 7918 snares 3353; they set 5324 a trap 4889, they catch 3920 men 582.
27 As a cage 3619 is full 4392 of birds 5775, so are their houses 1004 full 4392 of deceit 4820: therefore they are become great 1431, and waxen rich 6238.
28 They are waxen fat 8080, they shine 6245: yea, they overpass 5674 the deeds 1697 of the wicked 7451: they judge 1777 not the cause 1779, the cause of the fatherless 3490, yet they prosper 6743; and the right 4941 of the needy 34 do they not judge 8199.
29 Shall I not visit 6485 for these things? saith 5002 the LORD 3068: shall not my soul 5315 be avenged 5358 on such a nation 1471 as this?
30 A wonderful 8047 and horrible thing 8186 is committed 1961 in the land 776;
31 The prophets 5030 prophesy 5012 falsely 8267, and the priests 3548 bear rule 7287 by their means 3027; and my people 5971 love 157 to have it so: and what will ye do 6213 in the end 319 thereof?
