  3:1 ¶
If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? ye thou hast gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and hast returned to me, saith the Lord. |
|
3:1 ¶
They say,°°
If°
a man°
put away°°°
his wife,°
and she go°°
from°°
him, and become°
another°
man's,°
shall he return°
unto°
her again?°°°
shall not°
that°
land°
be greatly°°
polluted?°°
but thou°
hast played the harlot°°
with many°
lovers;°
yet return°
again°°
to°
me, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
3:2
Lift up thine eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where thou hast not been utterly defiled. Thou hast sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and hast defiled the land with thy fornications and thy wickedness. |
|
3:2
Lift up°°
thine eyes°
unto°
the high places,°
and see°°
where°
thou hast not°
been lien°°°°
with. In°
the ways°
hast thou sat°°
for them, as the Arabian°
in the wilderness;°
and thou hast polluted°°
the land°
with thy whoredoms°
and with thy wickedness.° |
|
3:3
And thou didst retain many shepherds for a stumbling-block to thyself: thou hadst a whore's face, thou didst become shameless toward all. |
|
3:3
Therefore the showers°
have been withholden,°°
and there hath been°
no°
latter rain;°
and thou hadst a whore's°°°
forehead,°
thou refusedst°°
to be ashamed.°° |
|
3:4
Hast thou not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of thy virgin-time? |
|
3:4
Wilt thou not°
from this time°°
cry°°
unto me, My father,°
thou°
[art] the guide°
of my youth?° |
|
3:5
Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done these bad things, and hadst power [to do them]. |
|
3:5
Will he reserve°°
[his anger] for ever?°
will he keep°°
[it] to the end?°
Behold,°
thou hast spoken°°
and done°°
evil things°
as thou couldest.°° |
|
3:6 ¶
And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah{gr.Josias} the king, Hast thou seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there. |
|
3:6 ¶
Yahweh°
said°°
also unto°
me in the days°
of Josiah°
the king,°
Hast thou seen°°
[that] which°
backsliding°
Israel°
hath done?°°
she°
is gone up°°
upon°
every°
high°
mountain°
and under°
every°
green°
tree,°
and there°
hath played the harlot.°° |
|
3:7
And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Judah{gr.Juda} saw her faithlessness. |
|
3:7
And I said°°
after°
she had done°°°
all°
these°
[things], Turn°°
thou unto°
me. But she returned°°
not.°
And her treacherous°
sister°
Judah°
saw°°
[it]. |
|
3:8
And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement,) yet faithless Judah{gr.Juda} feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication. |
|
3:8
And I saw,°°
when°
for°
all°
the causes°
whereby°
backsliding°
Israel°
committed adultery°°
I had put her away,°°
and given°°°
her°
a bill°
of divorce;°
yet her treacherous°°
sister°
Judah°
feared°°
not,°
but went°°°
and played the harlot°°
also.° |
|
3:9
And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone. |
|
3:9
And it came to pass°
through the lightness°°
of her whoredom,°
that she defiled°°°
the land,°
and committed adultery°°
with°
stones°
and with°
stocks.° |
|
3:10
And for all these things faithless Judah{gr.Juda} turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely. |
|
3:10
And yet°
for all°
this°
her treacherous°
sister°
Judah°
hath not°
turned°°
unto°
me with her whole°
heart,°
but°°
feignedly,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
3:11
And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Judah{gr.Juda}. |
|
3:11
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
me, The backsliding°
Israel°
hath justified°°
herself°
more than treacherous°°°
Judah.° |
|
3:12 ¶
Go and read these words toward the north, and thou shalt say, Return to me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever. |
|
3:12 ¶
Go°°
and proclaim°°°
these°
words°
toward the north,°
and say,°°
Return,°°
thou backsliding°
Israel,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
[and] I will not°
cause mine anger°
to fall°°
upon you: for°
I°
[am] merciful,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
[and] I will not°
keep°°
[anger] for ever.° |
|
3:13
Nevertheless, know thine iniquity, that thou hast sinned against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to strangers under every shady tree, but thou didst not hearken to my voice, saith the Lord. |
|
3:13
Only°
acknowledge°°
thine iniquity,°
that°
thou hast transgressed°°
against Yahweh°
thy Elohim,°
and hast scattered°°°
thy ways°
to the strangers°°
under°
every°
green°
tree,°
and ye have not°
obeyed°°
my voice,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
3:14
Turn, ye children that have revolted, saith the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Zion{gr.Sion}: |
|
3:14
Turn,°°
O backsliding°
children,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
for°
I°
am married°°
unto you: and I will take°°
you one°
of a city,°°
and two°
of a family,°°
and I will bring°°
you to Zion:° |
|
3:15
and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge. |
|
3:15
And I will give°°
you pastors°°
according to mine heart,°
which shall feed°°
you with knowledge°
and understanding.°° |
|
3:16
And it shall come to pass that when ye are multiplied and increased upon the land, saith the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more. |
|
3:16
And it shall come to pass,°
when°
ye be multiplied°°
and increased°°
in the land,°
in those°
days,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
they shall say°°
no°
more,°
The ark°
of the covenant°
of Yahweh:°
neither°
shall it come°°
to°
mind:°
neither°
shall they remember°°
it; neither°
shall they visit°°
[it]; neither°
shall [that] be done°°
any more.° |
|
3:17
In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart. |
|
3:17
At that°
time°
they shall call°°
Jerusalem°
the throne°
of Yahweh;°
and all°
the nations°
shall be gathered°°
unto°
it, to the name°
of Yahweh,°
to Jerusalem:°
neither°
shall they walk°°°
any more°
after°
the imagination°
of their evil°
heart.° |
|
3:18
In those days the house of Judah{gr.Juda}, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit. |
|
3:18
In those°
days°
the house°
of Judah°
shall walk°°°
with°
the house°
of Israel,°
and they shall come°°
together°
out of the land°°
of the north°
to°
the land°
that°
I have given for an inheritance°°
unto°
your fathers.° |
|
3:19
And I said, So be it, Lord, for [thou saidst] I will set thee among children, and will give thee a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, Ye shall call me Father; and ye shall not turn away from me. |
|
3:19
But I°
said,°°
How°
shall I put°°
thee among the children,°
and give°°
thee a pleasant°
land,°
a goodly°
heritage°
of the hosts°
of nations?°
and I said,°°
Thou shalt call°°
me, My father;°
and shalt not°
turn away°°
from°°
me.° |
|
3:20 ¶
But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord. |
|
3:20 ¶
Surely°
[as] a wife°
treacherously°°
departeth°
from her husband,°°°
so°
have ye dealt treacherously°°
with me, O house°
of Israel,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
3:21
A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One. |
|
3:21
A voice°
was heard°°
upon°
the high places,°
weeping°
[and] supplications°
of the children°
of Israel:°
for°
they have perverted°°°
their way,°
[and] they have forgotten°°°
Yahweh°
their Elohim.° |
|
3:22
Turn, ye children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be thy servants; for thou art the Lord our God. |
|
3:22
Return,°°
ye backsliding°
children,°
[and] I will heal°°
your backslidings.°
Behold,°
we come°°
unto thee; for°
thou°
[art] Yahweh°
our Elohim.° |
|
3:23
Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. |
|
3:23
Truly°
in vain°
[is salvation hoped for] from the hills,°°
[and from] the multitude°
of mountains:°
truly°
in Yahweh°
our Elohim°
[is] the salvation°
of Israel.° |
|
3:24
But shame has consumed the labours of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters. |
|
3:24
For shame°
hath devoured°°°
the labour°
of our fathers°
from our youth;°°°
their flocks°
and their herds,°°
their sons°
and their daughters.° |
|
3:25
We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God. |
|
3:25
We lie down°°
in our shame,°
and our confusion°
covereth°°
us: for°
we have sinned°°
against Yahweh°
our Elohim,°
we°
and our fathers,°
from our youth°°
even unto°
this°
day,°
and have not°
obeyed°°
the voice°
of Yahweh°
our Elohim.° |
