Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 5:1 ¶ Run ye about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find [one], if there is any one that does judgment, and seeks faithfulness; and I will pardon them, saith the Lord.

 5:1 ¶ Run ye to and fro°° through the streets° of Jerusalem,° and see°° now,° and know,°° and seek°° in the broad places° thereof, if° ye can find°° a man,° if° there be° [any] that executeth°° judgment,° that seeketh°° the truth;° and I will pardon°° it.

 5:2 The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely?

 5:2 And though° they say,°° Yahweh° liveth;° surely° they swear°° falsely.°

 5:3 O Lord, thine eyes are upon faithfulness: thou hast scourged them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.

 5:3 O Yahweh,° [are] not° thine eyes° upon the truth?° thou hast stricken°° them, but they have not° grieved;°° thou hast consumed°° them, [but] they have refused°° to receive°° correction:° they have made their faces° harder°° than a rock;°° they have refused°° to return.°°

 5:4 Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgment of God.

 5:4 Therefore I° said,°° Surely° these° [are] poor;° they are foolish:°° for° they know°° not° the way° of Yahweh,° [nor] the judgment° of their Elohim.°

 5:5 I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of God: but, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds.

 5:5 I will get°°° me unto° the great men,° and will speak°° unto° them; for° they° have known°° the way° of Yahweh,° [and] the judgment° of their Elohim:° but° these° have altogether° broken°° the yoke,° [and] burst°° the bonds.°

 5:6 Therefore has a lion out of the forest smitten them, and a wolf has destroyed them even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities: all that go forth from them shall be hunted: for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their revoltings.

 5:6 Wherefore°° a lion° out of the forest°° shall slay°° them, [and] a wolf° of the evenings° shall spoil°° them, a leopard° shall watch°° over° their cities:° every one° that goeth out°° thence°° shall° be torn in pieces:°° because° their transgressions° are many,°° [and] their backslidings° are increased.°°

 5:7 ¶ In what [way] shall I forgive thee for these things? Thy sons have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: and I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses.

 5:7 ¶ How° shall I pardon°° thee for this?° thy children° have forsaken°° me, and sworn°° by [them that are] no° elohim:° when I had fed them to the full,°°°° they then committed adultery,°° and assembled themselves° by troops°° in the harlots'°° houses.°

 5:8 They became as wanton horses: they neighed each one after his neighbour's wife.

 5:8 They were° [as] fed°° horses° in the morning:°° every one° neighed°° after° his neighbour's° wife.°

 5:9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this.

 5:9 Shall I not° visit°° for° these° [things]? saith°° Yahweh:° and° shall not° my soul° be avenged°° on such° a nation° as this?°

 5:10 ¶ Go up upon her battlements, and break [them] down; but make not a full end: leave her buttresses: for they are the Lord's.

 5:10 ¶ Go ye up°° upon her walls,° and destroy;°° but make°° not° a full end:° take away°° her battlements;° for° they° [are] not° Yahweh's.°

 5:11 For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord: the house of Judah{gr.Juda} also

 5:11 For° the house° of Israel° and the house° of Judah° have dealt very°° treacherously°° against me, saith°° Yahweh.°

 5:12 have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine.

 5:12 They have belied°° Yahweh,° and said,°° [It is] not° he;° neither° shall evil° come°° upon° us; neither° shall we see°° sword° nor famine:°

 5:13 Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them.

 5:13 And the prophets° shall become° wind,° and the word°°° [is] not° in them: thus° shall it be done°° unto them.

 5:14 Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because ye have spoken this word, behold, I have made my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

 5:14 Wherefore° thus° saith°° Yahweh° Elohim° Sabaoth,° Because° ye speak°°° this° word,° behold,° I will make°° my words° in thy mouth° fire,° and this° people° wood,° and it shall devour°° them.

 5:15 Behold, I [will] bring upon you a nation from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord; a nation the sound of whose language one shall not understand.

 5:15 Lo,° I will bring°° a nation° upon° you from far,°° O house° of Israel,° saith°° Yahweh:° it° [is] a mighty° nation,° it° [is] an ancient°° nation,° a nation° whose language° thou knowest°° not,° neither° understandest°° what° they say.°°

 5:16 [They are] all mighty men:

 5:16 Their quiver° [is] as an open°° sepulchre,° they [are] all° mighty men.°

 5:17 and they shall devour you harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein ye trusted, with the sword.

 5:17 And they shall eat up°° thine harvest,° and thy bread,° [which] thy sons° and thy daughters° should eat:°° they shall eat up°° thy flocks° and thine herds:° they shall eat up°° thy vines° and thy fig trees:° they shall impoverish°° thy fenced° cities,° wherein° thou°° trustedst,°° with the sword.°

 5:18 And it shall come to pass in those days, saith the Lord thy God, that I will not utterly destroy you.

 5:18 Nevertheless° in those° days,° saith°° Yahweh,° I will not° make°° a full end° with° you.

 5:19 ¶ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that thou shalt say to them, Because ye served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

 5:19 ¶ And it shall come to pass,° when° ye shall say,°° Wherefore°° doeth°° Yahweh° our Elohim°° all° these° [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer°°° them, Like° as ye have forsaken°° me, and served°° strange° elohim° in your land,° so° shall ye serve°° strangers°° in a land° [that is] not° yours.

 5:20 Proclaim these things to the house of Jacob, and let them be heard in the house of Judah{gr.Juda}.

 5:20 Declare°° this° in the house° of Jacob,° and publish°° it in Judah,° saying,°°

 5:21 Hear ye now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not:

 5:21 Hear°° now° this,° O foolish° people,° and without° understanding;° which have eyes,° and see°° not;° which have ears,° and hear°° not:°

 5:22 will ye not be afraid of me? saith the Lord; and will ye not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yea, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.

 5:22 Fear°° ye not° me? saith°° Yahweh:° will ye not° tremble°° at my presence,°° which° have placed°° the sand° [for] the bound° of the sea° by a perpetual° decree,° that it cannot° pass°° it: and though the waves° thereof toss°° themselves,° yet can they not° prevail;°° though they roar,°° yet can they not° pass over°° it?

 5:23 But this people has a disobedient and rebellious heart; and they have turned aside and gone back:

 5:23 But this° people° hath° a revolting°° and a rebellious°° heart;° they are revolted°° and gone.°°°

 5:24 and they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfillment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us.

 5:24 Neither° say°° they in their heart,° Let us now° fear°°° Yahweh° our Elohim,° that giveth°° rain,° both the former° and the latter,° in his season:° he reserveth°° unto us the appointed° weeks° of the harvest.°

 5:25 ¶ Your transgressions have turned away these things, and your sins have removed good things from you.

 5:25 ¶ Your iniquities° have turned away°° these° [things], and your sins° have withholden°° good° [things] from° you.

 5:26 For among my people were found ungodly men; and they have set snares to destroy men, and have caught [them].

 5:26 For° among my people° are found°° wicked° [men]: they lay wait,°° as he that setteth°° snares;° they set°° a trap,° they catch°° men.°°

 5:27 As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich:

 5:27 As a cage° is full° of birds,° so° [are] their houses° full° of deceit:° therefore°° they are become great,°° and waxen rich.°°

 5:28 and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.

 5:28 They are waxen fat,°° they shine:°° yea,° they overpass°° the deeds° of the wicked:° they judge°° not° the cause,° the cause° of the fatherless,° yet they prosper;°° and the right° of the needy° do they not° judge.°°

 5:29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

 5:29 Shall I not° visit°° for° these° [things]? saith°° Yahweh:° shall not° my soul° be avenged°° on such° a nation° as this?°

 5:30 ¶ Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land;

 5:30 ¶ A wonderful° and horrible thing° is committed°° in the land;°

 5:31 the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved [to have it] thus: and what will ye do for the future.

 5:31 The prophets° prophesy°° falsely,° and the priests° bear rule°° by° their means;° and my people° love°° [to have it] so:° and what° will ye do°° in the end° thereof?
