|
6:1 ¶
O ye children°
of Benjamin,°
gather yourselves to flee°°
out of the midst°°
of Jerusalem,°
and blow°°
the trumpet°
in Tekoa,°
and set up°°
a sign°
of fire°
in°
Bethhaccerem:°
for°
evil°
appeareth°°
out of the north,°°
and great°
destruction.° |
|
6:2
And [thy] pride, O daughter of Zion{gr.Sion}, shall be taken away. |
|
6:2
I have likened°°°
the daughter°
of Zion°
to a comely°°
and delicate°°
[woman]. |
|
6:3
The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her; and they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about, and shall feed [their flocks] each with his hand. |
|
6:3
The shepherds°°
with their flocks°
shall come°°
unto°
her; they shall pitch°°
[their] tents°
against°
her round about;°
they shall feed°°
every one°
in°
his place.° |

Prepare°°
ye war°
against°
her; arise,°°
and let us go up°°
at noon.°
Woe°
unto us! for°
the day°
goeth away,°°
for°
the shadows°
of the evening°
are stretched out.°° |
|
6:5
Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations. |
|
6:5
Arise,°°
and let us go°°
by night,°
and let us destroy°°
her palaces.° |
|
6:6 ¶
For thus saith the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her. |
|
6:6 ¶
For°
thus°
hath Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
said,°°
Hew ye down°°
trees,°
and cast°°
a mount°
against°
Jerusalem:°
this°
[is] the city°
to be visited;°°
she [is] wholly°
oppression°
in the midst°
of her. |
|
6:7
As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her. |
|
6:7
As a fountain°
casteth out°°
her waters,°
so°
she casteth°
out°°
her wickedness:°
violence°
and spoil°
is heard°°
in her; before°°
me°
continually°
[is] grief°
and wounds.° |
|
6:8
Thou shalt be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee a desert land, which shall not be inhabited. |
|
6:8
Be thou instructed,°°
O Jerusalem,°
lest°
my soul°
depart°°
from°
thee; lest°
I make°°
thee desolate,°
a land°
not°
inhabited.°° |
|
6:9 ¶
For thus saith the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket. |
|
6:9 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
They shall throughly°°
glean°°
the remnant°
of Israel°
as a vine:°
turn back°°
thine hand°
as a grapegatherer°°
into°
the baskets.° |
|
6:10
To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may hearken? behold, thine ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it. |
|
6:10
To°
whom°
shall I speak,°°
and give warning,°°
that they may hear?°°
behold,°
their ear°
[is] uncircumcised,°
and they cannot°°°
hearken:°°
behold,°
the word°
of Yahweh°
is°
unto them a reproach;°
they have no°
delight°°
in it. |
|
6:11
And I allowed my wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them: I will pour it out on the children without, and on the assembly of young men together: for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days. |
|
6:11
Therefore I am full°
of°
the fury°
of Yahweh;°
I am weary°°
with holding°
in:°°
I will pour it out°°
upon°
the children°
abroad,°
and upon°
the assembly°
of young men°
together:°
for°
even°
the husband°
with°
the wife°
shall be taken,°°
the aged°
with°
[him that is] full°°
of days.° |

[with their] fields°
and wives°
together:°
for°
I will stretch out°°°
my hand°
upon°
the inhabitants°°
of the land,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
6:13
For from the least of them even to the greatest they have all committed iniquity; from the priest even to the false prophet they have all wrought falsely. |
|
6:13
For°
from the least°°
of them even unto°
the greatest°
of them every one°
[is] given°°
to°
covetousness;°
and from the prophet°°
even unto°
the priest°
every one°
dealeth°°
falsely.° |
|
6:14
And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace? |
|
6:14
They have healed°°
also°
the hurt°
[of the daughter]°°
of my people°
slightly,°°°
saying,°°
Peace,°
peace;°
when [there is] no°
peace.° |
|
6:15
They were ashamed because they failed; yet they were not ashamed as those who are [truly] ashamed, and they knew not their own disgrace: therefore shall they [utterly] fall when they do fall, and in the time of visitation shall they perish, said the Lord. |
|
6:15
Were they ashamed°°°
when°
they had committed°°
abomination?°
nay,°
they were not°
at all°°
ashamed,°°
neither°°
could°°
they blush:°°
therefore°
they shall fall°°
among them that fall:°°
at the time°
[that] I visit°°
them they shall be cast down,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
6:16
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them]. |
|
6:16
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
Stand°°
ye in°
the ways,°
and see,°°
and ask°°
for the old°
paths,°
where°°
[is] the good°
way,°
and walk°°°
therein, and ye shall find°°
rest°
for your souls.°
But they said,°°
We will not°
walk°°°
[therein]. |
|
6:17
I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear ye the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it]. |
|
6:17
Also I set°°
watchmen°°
over°
you, [saying], Hearken°°
to the sound°
of the trumpet.°
But they said,°°
We will not°
hearken.°° |
|
6:18 ¶
Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks. |

Therefore°
hear,°°
ye nations,°
and know,°°
O congregation,°°
what°
[is] among them. |
|
6:19
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evils upon this people, [even] the fruit of their rebellions; for they have not heeded my words, and they have rejected my law. |
|
6:19
Hear,°°
O earth:°
behold,°
I°
will bring°°
evil°
upon°
this°
people,°
[even] the fruit°
of their thoughts,°
because°
they have not°
hearkened°°
unto°
my words,°
nor to my law,°
but rejected°°
it. |
|
6:20
Wherefore do ye bring me frankincense from Sheba{gr.Saba}, and cinnamon from a land afar off? your whole-burnt-offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been pleasant to me. |
|
6:20
To what°
purpose°
cometh°°
there to me incense°
from Sheba,°°
and the sweet°
cane°
from a far°
country?°°
your burnt offerings°
[are] not°
acceptable,°
nor°
your sacrifices°
sweet°°
unto me. |
|
6:21
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] bring weakness upon this people, and the fathers and sons shall be weak together; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. |
|
6:21
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
Behold,°
I will lay°°
stumblingblocks°
before°
this°
people,°
and the fathers°
and the sons°
together°
shall fall°°
upon them; the neighbour°
and his friend°
shall perish.°° |

Behold,°
a people°

from the north°
country,°°
and a great°
nation°
shall be raised°°
from the sides°°
of the earth.° |
|
6:23
They shall lay hold on bow and spear; [the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy; their voice is as the roaring sea; they shall array themselves for war against thee as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Zion{gr.Sion}. |
|
6:23
They shall lay hold°°
on bow°
and spear;°
they°
[are] cruel,°
and have no°
mercy;°°
their voice°
roareth°°
like the sea;°
and they ride°°
upon°
horses,°
set in array°°
as men°
for war°
against°
thee, O daughter°
of Zion.° |
|
6:24
We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail. |
|
6:24
We have heard°°°
the fame°
thereof: our hands°
wax feeble:°°
anguish°
hath taken hold°°
of us, [and] pain,°
as of a woman in travail.°° |
|
6:25
Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about. |

for°
the sword°
of the enemy°°
[and] fear°
[is] on every side.°° |
|

O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth: sprinkle [thyself] with ashes; make for thyself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you. |
|
6:26 ¶
O daughter°
of my people,°
gird°°
[thee] with sackcloth,°
and wallow°°
thyself°
in ashes:°
make°°
thee mourning,°
[as for] an only son,°
most bitter°
lamentation:°
for°
the spoiler°°
shall suddenly°
come°°
upon°
us. |
|

thee [for] a tower°

among my people,°
that thou mayest know°°
and try°°°
their way.° |
|
6:28
[They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted. |

6:28
They [are] all°
grievous°°
revolters,°°
walking°°
with slanders:°
[they are] brass°
and iron;°
they°
[are] all°
corrupters.°° |
|
6:29
The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed. |
|
6:29

are burned,°°
the lead°
is consumed°°
of the fire;°°°
the founder°°
melteth°°
in vain:°
for the wicked°
are not°
plucked away.°° |
|
6:30
Call ye them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them. |
|
6:30
Reprobate°°
silver°
shall [men] call°°
them, because°
Yahweh°
hath rejected°°
them. |
