1 At that time 6256, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, they shall bring out 3318 the bones 6106 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063, and the bones 6106 of his princes 8269, and the bones 6106 of the priests 3548, and the bones 6106 of the prophets 5030, and the bones 6106 of the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389, out of their graves 6913:
2 And they shall spread 7849 them before the sun 8121, and the moon 3394, and all the host 6635 of heaven 8064, whom they have loved 157, and whom they have served 5647, and after 310 whom they have walked 1980, and whom they have sought 1875, and whom they have worshipped 7812: they shall not be gathered 622, nor be buried 6912; they shall be for dung 1828 upon the face 6440 of the earth 127.
3 And death 4194 shall be chosen 977 rather than life 2416 by all the residue 7611 of them that remain 7604 of this evil 7451 family 4940, which remain 7604 in all the places 4725 whither I have driven 5080 them, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
4 Moreover thou shalt say 559 unto them, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Shall they fall 5307, and not arise 6965? shall he turn away 7725, and not return 7725?
5 Why then is this people 5971 of Jerusalem 3389 slidden back 7725 by a perpetual 5329 backsliding 4878? they hold 2388 fast deceit 8649, they refuse 3985 to return 7725.
6 I hearkened 7181 and heard 8085, but they spake not aright 1696: no man 376 repented 5162 him of 5921 his wickedness 7451, saying 559, What have I done 6213? every one turned 7725 to his course 4794, as the horse 5483 rusheth 7857 into the battle 4421.
7 Yea, the stork 2624 in the heaven 8064 knoweth 3045 her appointed times 4150; and the turtle 8449 and the crane 5483 and the swallow 5693 observe 8104 the time 6256 of their coming 935; but my people 5971 know 3045 not the judgment 4941 of the LORD 3068.
8 How do ye say 559, We are wise 2450, and the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 is with us? Lo, certainly 403 in vain 8267 made 6213 he it; the pen 5842 of the scribes 5608 is in vain 8267.
9 The wise 2450 men are ashamed 3001, they are dismayed 2865 and taken 3920: lo, they have rejected 3988 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068; and what wisdom 2451 is in them?
10 Therefore will I give 5414 their wives 802 unto others 312, and their fields 7704 to them that shall inherit 3423 them: for every one from the least 6996 even unto the greatest 1419 is given 1214 to covetousness 1215, from the prophet 5030 even unto the priest 3548 every one dealeth 6213 falsely 8267.
11 For they have healed 7495 the hurt 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 slightly 7043, saying 559, Peace 7965, peace 7965; when there is no peace 7965.
12 Were they ashamed 3001 when they had committed 6213 abomination 8441? nay, they were not at all 954 ashamed 954, neither could 3045 they blush 3637: therefore shall they fall 5307 among them that fall 5307: in the time 6256 of their visitation 6486 they shall be cast down 3782, saith 559 the LORD 3068.
13 I will surely 622 consume 5486 them, saith 5002 the LORD 3068: there shall be no grapes 6025 on the vine 1612, nor figs 8384 on the fig tree 8384, and the leaf 5929 shall fade 5034; and the things that I have given 5414 them shall pass away 5674 from them.
14 Why do we sit still 3427? assemble 622 yourselves, and let us enter 935 into the defenced 4013 cities 5892, and let us be silent 1826 there: for the LORD 3068 our God 430 hath put us to silence 1826, and given us water 4325 of gall 7219 to drink 8248, because we have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068.
15 We looked 6960 for peace 7965, but no good 2896 came; and for a time 6256 of health 4832, and behold trouble 1205!
16 The snorting 5170 of his horses 5483 was heard 8085 from Dan 1835: the whole land 776 trembled 7493 at the sound 6963 of the neighing 4684 of his strong ones 47; for they are come 935, and have devoured 398 the land 776, and all 4393 that is in it; the city 5892, and those that dwell 3427 therein.
17 For, behold, I will send 7971 serpents 5175, cockatrices 6848, among you, which will not be charmed 3908, and they shall bite 5391 you, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
18 When I would comfort 4010 myself against sorrow 3015, my heart 3820 is faint 1742 in me.
19 Behold the voice 6963 of the cry 7775 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 because of them that dwell in a far 4801 country 776: Is not the LORD 3068 in Zion 6726? is not her king 4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to anger 3707 with their graven images 6456, and with strange 5236 vanities 1892?
20 The harvest 7105 is past 5674, the summer 7019 is ended 3615, and we are not saved 3467.
21 For the hurt 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 am I hurt 7665; I am black 6937; astonishment 8047 hath taken hold 2388 on me.
22 Is there no balm 6875 in Gilead 1568; is there no physician 7495 there? why then 3588 is not the health 724 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 recovered 5927?
