  8:1 ¶
At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah{gr.Juda}, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves; |
|
8:1 ¶
At that°
time,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
they shall bring out°°°
the bones°
of the kings°
of Judah,°
and the bones°
of his princes,°
and the bones°
of the priests,°
and the bones°
of the prophets,°
and the bones°
of the inhabitants°°
of Jerusalem,°
out of their graves:°° |
|
8:2
and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped; they shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth, |
|
8:2
And they shall spread°°
them before the sun,°
and the moon,°
and all°
the host°
of heaven,°
whom°
they have loved,°°
and whom°
they have served,°°
and after°
whom°
they have walked,°°
and whom°
they have sought,°°
and whom°
they have worshipped:°°
they shall not°
be gathered,°°
nor°
be buried;°°
they shall be°
for dung°
upon°
the face°
of the earth.° |
|
8:3
because they chose death rather than life, even to all the remnant that are left of that family, in every place whither I shall drive them out. |
|
8:3
And death°
shall be chosen°°
rather than life°°
by all°
the residue°
of them that remain°°
of°
this°
evil°
family,°
which remain°°
in all°
the places°
whither°°
I have driven°°
them, saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |
|
8:4 ¶
For thus saith the Lord, Shall not he that falls arise? or he that turns away, shall he not turn back again? |
|
8:4 ¶
Moreover thou shalt say°°
unto°
them, Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Shall they fall,°°
and not°
arise?°°
shall he turn away,°°
and not°
return?°° |
|
8:5
Wherefore has this my people turned away with a shameless revolting, and strengthened themselves in their willfulness, and refused to return? |
|
8:5
Why°
[then] is this°
people°
of Jerusalem°
slidden back°°
by a perpetual°°
backsliding?°
they hold°°
fast°
deceit,°
they refuse°°
to return.°° |
|
8:6
Hearken, I pray you, and hear: will they not speak thus, There is no man that repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? the runner has failed from his course, as a tired horse in his neighing. |
|
8:6
I hearkened°°
and heard,°°
[but] they spake°
not°
aright:°°°
no°
man°
repented°°
him of°
his wickedness,°
saying,°°
What°
have I done?°°
every one°
turned°°
to his course,°
as the horse°
rusheth°°
into the battle.° |
|
8:7
Yea, the stork in the heaven knows her time, [also] the turtle-dove and wild swallow; the sparrows observe the times of their coming in; but this my people knows not the judgments of the Lord. |
|
8:7
Yea,°
the stork°
in the heaven°
knoweth°°
her appointed times;°
and the turtle°
and the crane°
and the swallow°
observe°°°
the time°
of their coming;°°
but my people°
know°°
not°°
the judgment°
of Yahweh.° |
|
8:8
How will ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? In vain have the scribes used a false pen. |
|
8:8
How°
do ye say,°°
We°
[are] wise,°
and the law°
of Yahweh°
[is] with°
us? Lo,°
certainly°
in vain°
made°°
he [it]; the pen°
of the scribes°°
[is] in vain.° |
|
8:9
The wise men are ashamed, and alarmed, and taken; because they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is there in them? |
|
8:9
The wise°
[men] are ashamed,°°°
they are dismayed°°
and taken:°°
lo,°
they have rejected°°
the word°
of Yahweh;°
and what°
wisdom°
[is] in them? |
|
8:10
Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to [new] inheritors; and they shall gather their fruits, saith the Lord. |
|
8:10
Therefore°
will I give°°°
their wives°
unto others,°
[and] their fields°
to them that shall inherit°°
[them]: for°
every one°
from the least°°
even unto°
the greatest°
is given°°
to covetousness,°°
from the prophet°°
even unto°
the priest°
every one°
dealeth°°
falsely.° |

8:11
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
8:11
For they have healed°°°
the hurt°
of the daughter°
of my people°
slightly,°°
saying,°°
Peace,°
peace;°
when [there is] no°
peace.° |
|
8:12
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
8:12
Were they ashamed°°°
when°
they had committed°°
abomination?°
nay,°
they were not°
at all°°
ashamed,°°
neither°
could°°
they blush:°°
therefore°
shall they fall°°
among them that fall:°°
in the time°
of their visitation°
they shall be cast down,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
8:13 ¶
There are no grapes on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig-trees, and the leaves have fallen off. |
|
8:13 ¶
I will surely°°
consume°°
them, saith°°
Yahweh:°
[there shall be] no°
grapes°
on the vine,°
nor°
figs°
on the fig tree,°
and the leaf°
shall fade;°°
and [the things that] I have given°°
them shall pass away°°
from them. |
|
8:14
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be cast out there: for God has cast us out, and made us drink water of gall, because we have sinned before him. |
|
8:14
Why°°
do we°
sit°
still?°°
assemble°°
yourselves,°
and let us enter°°
into°
the defenced°
cities,°
and let us be silent°°
there:°
for°
Yahweh°
our Elohim°
hath put us to silence,°°
and given us water°
of gall°
to drink,°°
because°
we have sinned°°
against Yahweh.° |
|
8:15
We assembled for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, but behold anxiety. |
|
8:15
We looked°°
for peace,°
but no°
good°
[came; and] for a time°
of health,°
and behold°
trouble!° |
|
8:16
We shall hear the neighing of his swift horses out of Dan: the whole land quaked at the sound of the neighing of his horses; and he shall come, and devour the land and the fullness of it; the city, and them that dwell in it. |
|
8:16
The snorting°
of his horses°
was heard°°
from Dan:°°
the whole°
land°
trembled°°
at the sound°°
of the neighing°
of his strong ones;°
for they are come,°°
and have devoured°°
the land,°
and all°
that is in it; the city,°
and those that dwell°°
therein. |
|
8:17
For, behold, I send forth against you deadly serpents, which cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you |
|
8:17
For,°
behold,°
I will send°°
serpents,°
cockatrices,°
among you, which°
[will] not°
[be] charmed,°
and they shall bite°°
you, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
8:18 ¶
mortally with the pain of your distressed heart. |
|
8:18 ¶
[When] I would comfort°
myself against°
sorrow,°
my heart°
[is] faint°
in°
me. |
|
8:19
Behold, [there is] a sound of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land afar off: Is not the Lord in Zion{gr.Sion}? is there not a king there? because they have provoked me with their graven [images], and with strange vanities. |
|
8:19
Behold°
the voice°
of the cry°
of the daughter°
of my people°
because of them that dwell in a far°
country:°°
[Is] not°
Yahweh°
in Zion?°
[is] not°
her king°
in her? Why°
have they provoked me to anger°°
with their graven images,°
[and] with strange°
vanities?° |
|
8:20
The summer is gone, the harvest is past, and we are not saved. |
|
8:20
The harvest°
is past,°°
the summer°
is ended,°°
and we°
are not°
saved.°° |
|
8:21
For the breach of the daughter of my people I have been saddened: in my perplexity pangs have seized upon me as of a woman in travail. |
|
8:21
For°
the hurt°
of the daughter°
of my people°
am I hurt;°°
I am black;°°
astonishment°
hath taken hold°°
on me. |
|
8:22
And is there no balm in Gilead{gr.Galaad}, or is there no physician there? why has not the healing of the daughter of my people taken place? |
|
8:22
[Is there] no°
balm°
in Gilead;°
[is there] no°
physician°°
there?°
why°
then°
is not°
the health°
of the daughter°
of my people°
recovered?°° |
