 2:9 ¶ Therefore I will yet plead with you, and will plead with your children's children.

 2:9 ¶ Wherefore° I will yet° plead°° with° you, saith°° Yahweh,° and with° your children's° children° will I plead.°°

 2:10 For go to the isles of the Hittites{gr.Chettians}, and se; and send to Kedar, and observe accurately, and see if such things have been done;

 2:10 For° pass over°° the isles° of Chittim,° and see;°° and send°° unto Kedar,° and consider°° diligently,° and see°° if there be° such° a thing.

 2:11 if the nations will change their gods, though they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory, [for that] from which they shall not be profited.

 2:15 The lions roared upon him, and uttered their voice, which have made his land a wilderness: and his cities are broken down, that they should not be inhabited.

 2:15 The young lions° roared°° upon° him, [and] yelled,°°° and they made°° his land° waste:° his cities° are burned°° without°° inhabitant.°°

 2:16 Also the children of Noph{gr.Memphis} and Tahpanhes{gr.Taphnas} have known thee, and mocked thee.

 2:16 Also° the children° of Noph° and Tahapanes° have broken°° the crown of thy head.°

 2:17 Hast thou not° procured°° this° unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken°°° Yahweh° thy Elohim,° when° he led°°° thee by the way?°

 2:18 And now what hast thou to do with the way of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, to drink the water of Geon? and what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers?

 2:18 And now° what° hast thou to do in the way° of Egypt,° to drink°° the waters° of Sihor?° or what° hast thou to do in the way° of Assyria,° to drink°° the waters° of the river?°

 2:20 ¶ For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, and plucked asunder thy bands; and thou has said, I will not serve thee, but will go upon every high hill, and under every shady tree, there will I indulge in my fornication.

 2:20 ¶ For° of old time°° I have broken°° thy yoke,° [and] burst°° thy bands;° and thou saidst,°° I will not° transgress;°°°° when° upon° every° high° hill° and under° every° green° tree° thou° wanderest,°° playing the harlot.°°

 2:21 Yet I planted thee a fruitful vine, entirely of the right sort: how art thou a strange vine turned to bitterness!

 2:21 Yet I° had planted°° thee a noble vine,° wholly° a right° seed:° how° then art thou turned°° into the degenerate° plant° of a strange° vine° unto me?

 2:22 Though thou shouldest wash thyself with nitre, and multiply to thyself soap, [still] thou art stained by thine iniquities before me, saith the Lord.

 2:22 For° though° thou wash°° thee with nitre,° and take thee much°° soap,° [yet] thine iniquity° is marked°° before° me, saith°° Adonai° Yahweh.°

 2:23 How wilt thou say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold thy ways in the burial-ground, and know what thou hast done: her voice has howled in the evening:

 2:23 How° canst thou say,°° I am not° polluted,°° I have not° gone°° after° Baalim?° see°° thy way° in the valley,° know°° what° thou hast done:°° [thou art] a swift° dromedary° traversing°° her ways;°

 2:24 she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up [to them], who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at [the time of] her humiliation they shall find her.

 2:24 A wild ass° used° to the wilderness,° [that] snuffeth up°° the wind° at her pleasure;°° in her occasion° who° can turn her away?°° all° they that seek°° her will not° weary°° themselves; in her month° they shall find°° her.

 2:25 Withdraw thy foot from a rough way, and thy throat from thirst: but she said I will strengthen myself: for she loved strangers, and went after them.

 2:25 Withhold°° thy foot° from being unshod,°° and thy throat° from thirst:°° but thou saidst,°° There is no hope:°° no;° for° I have loved°° strangers,°° and after° them will I go.°°°

 2:26 As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.

 2:26 As the thief° is ashamed° when° he is found,°° so° is the house° of Israel° ashamed;°°° they,° their kings,° their princes,° and their priests,° and their prophets,°

 2:27 They said to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou has begotten me: and they have turned [their] backs to me, and not their faces: yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.

 2:27 Saying°° to a stock,° Thou° [art] my father;° and to a stone,° Thou° hast brought me forth:°° for° they have turned°° [their] back° unto° me, and not° [their] face:° but in the time° of their trouble° they will say,°° Arise,°° and save°° us.

 2:28 And where are thy gods, which thou madest for thyself? will they arise and save in the time of thine affliction? for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah{gr.Juda}; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.

 2:28 But where° [are] thy elohim° that° thou hast made°° thee? let them arise,°° if° they can save°° thee in the time° of thy trouble:° for° [according to] the number° of thy cities° are° thy elohim,° O Judah.°

 2:29 Wherefore do ye speak unto me? ye all have been ungodly, and ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.

 2:29 Wherefore° will ye plead°° with° me? ye all° have transgressed°° against me, saith°° Yahweh.°

 2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; ye have not received correction: a sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet ye feared not.

 2:30 In vain° have I smitten°°° your children;° they received°° no° correction:° your own sword° hath devoured°° your prophets,° like a destroying°° lion.°

 2:31 ¶ Hear ye the word of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? wherefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to thee any more?

 2:31 ¶ O generation,° see°° ye° the word° of Yahweh.° Have I been° a wilderness° unto Israel?° a land° of darkness?° wherefore° say°° my people,° We are lords;°° we will come°° no° more° unto° thee?

 2:32 Will a bride forget her ornaments, or a virgin her girdle? but my people has forgotten me days without number.

 2:32 Can a maid° forget°° her ornaments,° [or] a bride° her attire?° yet my people° have forgotten°° me days° without° number.°

 2:33 What fair device wilt thou yet employ in thy ways, so as to seek love? [it shall] not [be] so; moreover thou has done wickedly in corrupting thy ways;

 2:33 Why° trimmest°° thou thy way° to seek°° love?° therefore° hast thou also° taught°°° the wicked ones°° thy ways.°

 2:34 and in thine hands has been found the blood of innocent souls; I have not found them in holes, but on every oak.

 2:34 Also° in thy skirts° is found°° the blood° of the souls° of the poor° innocents:° I have not° found°° it by secret search,° but° upon° all° these.°

 2:35 Yet thou saidst, I am innocent: only let his wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I [will] plead with thee, whereas thou sayest, I have not sinned.

 2:35 Yet thou sayest,°° Because° I am innocent,°° surely° his anger° shall turn°° from° me. Behold,° I will plead°° with° thee, because° thou sayest,°° I have not° sinned.°°

 2:36 For thou has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat thy ways; but thou shalt be ashamed of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, as thou wast ashamed of Asshur{gr.Assur}.

 2:36 Why° gaddest° thou about°° so much° to change°°° thy way?° thou also° shalt be ashamed°° of Egypt,°° as° thou wast ashamed°° of Assyria.°°

 2:37 For thou shalt go forth thence also with thine hands upon thine head; for the Lord has rejected thine hope, and thou shalt not prosper in it.

 2:37 Yea,° thou shalt go forth°° from°° him,° and thine hands° upon° thine head:° for° Yahweh° hath rejected°° thy confidences,° and thou shalt not° prosper°° in them.
