2:1 ¶
Say to your brother, My people, and to your sister, Pitied. |
|
2:1 ¶
Say°°
ye unto your brethren,°
Ammi;°
and to your sisters,°
Ruhamah.°° |
2:2
Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband: and I will remove her fornication out of my presence, and her adultery from between her breasts: |
|
2:2
Plead°°
with your mother,°
plead:°°
for°
she°
[is] not°
my wife,°
neither°
[am] I°
her husband:°
let her therefore put away°°
her whoredoms°
out of her sight,°°
and her adulteries°
from between°°
her breasts;° |
2:3
that I may strip her naked, and make her again as she was at the day of her birth: and I will make her desolate, and make her as a dry land, and will kill her with thirst. |
|
2:3
Lest°
I strip°°
her naked,°
and set°°
her as in the day°
that she was born,°°
and make°°
her as a wilderness,°
and set°°
her like a dry°
land,°
and slay°°
her with thirst.° |
2:4
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are children of fornication. |
|
2:4
And I will not°
have mercy°°
upon°
her children;°
for°
they°
[be] the children°
of whoredoms.° |
2:5
And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries. |
|
2:5
For°
their mother°
hath played the harlot:°°
she that conceived°°
them hath done shamefully:°°°
for°
she said,°°
I will go°°°
after°
my lovers,°°
that give°°
[me] my bread°
and my water,°
my wool°
and my flax,°
mine oil°
and my drink.° |
2:6 ¶
Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path. |
|
2:6 ¶
Therefore,°
behold,°
I will hedge°°
up°°
thy way°
with thorns,°
and make°°°
a wall,°
that she shall not°
find°°
her paths.° |
2:7
And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go, and return to my former husband; for it was better with me than now. |
|
2:7
And she shall follow°°
after°°
her lovers,°°
but she shall not°
overtake°°
them; and she shall seek°°
them, but shall not°
find°°
[them]: then shall she say,°°
I will go°°°
and return°°
to°
my first°
husband;°
for°
then°
[was it] better°
with me than now.°° |
2:8
And she knew not that I gave her her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied silver to her: but she made silver and gold [images] for Baal. |
|
2:8
For she°
did not°
know°°
that°
I°
gave°°
her corn,°
and wine,°
and oil,°
and multiplied°°
her silver°
and gold,°
[which] they prepared°°
for Baal.° |
2:9
Therefore I will return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its time; and I will take away my raiment and my linen clothes, so that she shall not cover her nakedness. |
|
2:9
Therefore°
will I return,°°
and take away°°
my corn°
in the time°
thereof, and my wine°
in the season°
thereof, and will recover°°
my wool°
and my flax°
[given] to cover°°°
her nakedness.° |
2:10
And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of my hand. |
|
2:10
And now°
will I discover°°°
her lewdness°
in the sight°
of her lovers,°°
and none°°
shall deliver°°
her out of mine hand.°° |
2:11
And I will take away all her gladness, her feasts, and her festivals at the new moon, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies. |
|
2:11
I will also cause all°
her mirth°
to cease,°°
her feast days,°
her new moons,°
and her sabbaths,°
and all°
her solemn feasts.° |
2:12
And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig-trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them. |
|
2:12
And I will destroy°°
her vines°
and her fig trees,°
whereof°
she hath said,°°
These°
[are] my rewards°
that°
my lovers°°
have given°°
me: and I will make°°
them a forest,°
and the beasts°
of the field°
shall eat°°
them. |
2:13
And I will recompense on her the days of Baalim, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her ear-rings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord. |
|
2:13
And I will visit°°
upon°
her°
the days°
of Baalim,°
wherein°
she burned incense°°
to them, and she decked°°
herself with her earrings°
and her jewels,°
and she went°°°
after°
her lovers,°°
and forgat°°
me, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
2:14 ¶
Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her. |
|
2:14 ¶
Therefore,°
behold,°
I°
will allure°°
her, and bring°°°
her into the wilderness,°
and speak°°
comfortably°°
unto her. |
2:15
And I will giver her possessions from thence, and the valley of Achor to open her understanding: and she shall be afflicted there according to the days of her infancy, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}. |
|
2:15
And I will give°°
her°
her vineyards°
from thence,°°
and the valley°
of Achor°
for a door°
of hope:°
and she shall sing°°
there,°
as in the days°
of her youth,°
and as in the day°
when she came up°°
out of the land°°
of Egypt.° |
2:16
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, [that] she shall call me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalim. |
|
2:16
And it shall be°
at that°
day,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
[that] thou shalt call°°
me Ishi;°
and shalt call°°
me no°
more°
Baali.° |
2:17
And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and their names shall be remembered no more at all. |
|
2:17
For I will take away°°°
the names°
of Baalim°
out of her mouth,°°
and they shall no°
more°
be remembered°°
by their name.° |
2:18
And I will make for them in that day a covenant with the wild beasts of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the reptiles of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle from off the earth, and will cause thee to dwell safely. |
|
2:18
And in that°
day°
will I make°°
a covenant°
for them with°
the beasts°
of the field,°
and with°
the fowls°
of heaven,°
and [with] the creeping things°
of the ground:°
and I will break°°
the bow°
and the sword°
and the battle°
out of°
the earth,°
and will make them to lie down°°
safely.° |
2:19
And I will betroth thee to myself for ever; yea, I will betroth thee to myself in righteousness, and in judgment, and in mercy, and in tender compassions; |
|
2:19
And I will betroth°°
thee unto me for ever;°
yea, I will betroth°°
thee unto me in righteousness,°
and in judgment,°
and in lovingkindness,°
and in mercies.° |
2:20
and I will betroth thee to myself in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord. |
|
2:20
I will even betroth°°
thee unto me in faithfulness:°
and thou shalt know°°°
Yahweh.° |
2:21
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, I will hearken to the heaven, and it shall hearken to the earth; |
|
2:21
And it shall come to pass°
in that°
day,°
I will hear,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
I will hear°°°
the heavens,°
and they°
shall hear°°°
the earth;° |
2:22
and the earth shall hearken to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hearken to Jezreel{gr.Jezrael}. |
|
2:22
And the earth°
shall hear°°°
the corn,°
and the wine,°
and the oil;°
and they°
shall hear°°°
Jezreel.° |
2:23
And I will sow her to me on the earth; and will love her that was not loved, and will say to that which was not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art the Lord my God. |
|
2:23
And I will sow°°
her unto me in the earth;°
and I will have mercy°°
upon°°
her that had not°
obtained mercy;°°°°
and I will say°°
to [them which were] not°
my people,°
Thou°
[art] my people;°
and they°
shall say,°°
[Thou art] my Elohim.° |
