1Flee^H5756 for safety, ye children^H1121 of Benjamin^H1144, out of the midst^H7130 of Jerusalem^H3389, and blow^H8628 the trumpet^H7782 in Tekoa^H8620, and raise up^H5375 a signal^H4864 on Beth-haccherem^H1021; for evil^H7451 looketh^H8259 forth from the north^H6828, and a great^H1419 destruction^H7667. 2The^H1820 comely^H5116 and delicate^H6026 one, the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726, will I cut off. 3Shepherds^H7462 with their flocks^H5739 shall come^H935 unto her; they shall pitch^H8628 their tents^H168 against her round about^H5439; they shall feed^H7462 every one^H376 in his place^H3027. 4Prepare^H6942 ye war^H4421 against her; arise^H6965, and let us go up^H5927 at noon^H6672. Woe^H188 unto us! for the day^H3117 declineth^H6437, for the shadows^H6752 of the evening^H6153 are stretched out^H5186. 5Arise^H6965, and let us go^H5927 up by night^H3915, and let us destroy^H7843 her palaces^H759. 6For thus hath Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 said^H559, Hew ye down^H3772 trees^H6097, and cast^H8210 up a mound^H5550 against Jerusalem^H3389: this is the city^H5892 to be visited^H6485; she is wholly oppression^H6233 in the midst^H7130 of her. 7As a well^H953 casteth forth^H6979 its waters^H4325, so she casteth forth^H6979 her wickedness^H7451: violence^H2555 and destruction^H7701 is heard^H8085 in her; before me^H6440 continually^H8548 is sickness^H2483 and wounds^H4347. 8Be thou instructed^H3256, O Jerusalem^H3389, lest my soul^H5315 be alienated^H3363 from thee; lest I make^H7760 thee a desolation^H8077, a land^H776 not inhabited^H3427. 9Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, They shall thoroughly^H5953 glean^H5953 the remnant^H7611 of Israel^H3478 as a vine^H1612: turn again^H7725 thy hand^H3027 as a grape-gatherer^H1219 into the baskets^H5552. 10To whom shall I speak^H1696 and testify^H1696, that they may hear^H8085? behold, their ear^H241 is uncircumcised^H6189, and they cannot^H3201 hearken^H7181: behold, the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 is become unto them a reproach^H2781; they have no delight^H2654 in it. 11Therefore I am full^H4392 of the wrath^H2534 of Jehovah^H3068; I am weary^H3811 with holding in^H3557: pour it out^H8210 upon the children^H5768 in the street^H2351, and upon the assembly^H5475 of young men^H970 together^H3162; for even the husband^H376 with the wife^H802 shall be taken^H3920, the aged^H2205 with him that is full^H4390 of days^H3117. 12And their houses^H1004 shall be turned^H5437 unto others^H312, their fields^H7704 and their wives^H802 together^H3162; for I will stretch out^H5186 my hand^H3027 upon the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 13For from the least^H6996 of them even unto the greatest^H1419 of them every one is given^H1214 to covetousness^H1215; and from the prophet^H5030 even unto the priest^H3548 every one dealeth^H6213 falsely^H8267. 14They have healed^H7495 also the hurt^H7667 of my people^H5971 slightly^H7043, saying^H559, Peace^H7965, peace^H7965; when there is no peace^H7965. 15Were they ashamed^H3001 when they had committed^H6213 abomination^H8441? nay^H1571, they were not at all^H954 ashamed^H954, neither^H1571 could^H3045 they blush^H3637: therefore they shall fall^H5307 among them that fall^H5307; at the time^H6256 that I visit^H6485 them they shall be cast down^H3782, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068. 16Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Stand^H5975 ye in the ways^H1870 and see^H7200, and ask^H7592 for the old^H5769 paths^H5410, where is the good^H2896 way^H1870; and walk^H3212 therein, and ye shall find^H4672 rest^H4771 for your souls^H5315: but they said^H559, We will not walk^H3212 therein. 17And I set^H6965 watchmen^H6822 over you, saying, Hearken^H7181 to the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782; but they said^H559, We will not hearken^H7181. 18Therefore hear^H8085, ye nations^H1471, and know^H3045, O congregation^H5712, what is among them. 19Hear^H8085, O earth^H776: behold, I will bring^H935 evil^H7451 upon this people^H5971, even the fruit^H6529 of their thoughts^H4284, because they have not hearkened^H7181 unto my words^H1697; and as for my law^H8451, they have rejected^H3988 it. 20To what purpose cometh^H935 there to me frankincense^H3828 from Sheba^H7614, and the sweet^H2896 cane^H7070 from a far^H4801 country^H776? your burnt-offerings^H5930 are not acceptable^H7522, nor your sacrifices^H2077 pleasing^H6149 unto me. 21Therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Behold, I will lay^H5414 stumbling-blocks^H4383 before this people^H5971; and the fathers^H1 and the sons^H1121 together^H3162 shall stumble^H3782 against them; the neighbor^H7934 and his friend^H7453 shall perish^H6. 22Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Behold, a people^H5971 cometh^H935 from the north^H6828 country^H776; and a great^H1419 nation^H1471 shall be stirred^H5782 up from the uttermost parts^H3411 of the earth^H776. 23They lay hold^H2388 on bow^H7198 and spear^H3591; they are cruel^H394, and have no mercy^H7355; their voice^H6963 roareth^H1993 like the sea^H3220, and they ride^H7392 upon horses^H5483, every one set in array^H6186, as a man^H376 to the battle^H4421, against thee, O daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726. 24We have heard^H8085 the report^H8089 thereof; our hands^H3027 wax feeble^H7503: anguish^H6869 hath taken hold^H2388 of us, and pangs^H2427 as of a woman in travail^H3205. 25Go not forth^H3318 into the field^H7704, nor walk^H3212 by the way^H1870; for the sword^H2719 of the enemy^H341, and terror^H4032, are on every side^H5439. 26O daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971, gird^H2296 thee with sackcloth^H8242, and wallow^H6428 thyself in ashes^H665: make^H6213 thee mourning^H60, as for an only son^H3173, most bitter^H8563 lamentation^H4553; for the destroyer^H7703 shall suddenly^H6597 come^H935 upon us. 27I have made^H5414 thee a trier^H969 and a fortress^H4013 among my people^H5971; that thou mayest know^H3045 and try^H974 their way^H1870. 28They are all grievous^H5493 revolters^H5637, going^H1980 about with slanders^H7400; they are brass^H5178 and iron^H1270: they all of them deal corruptly^H7843. 29The bellows^H4647 blow fiercely^H2787; the lead^H5777 is consumed^H8552 of the fire^H800: in vain^H7723 do they go^H6884 on refining^H6884; for the wicked^H7451 are not plucked away^H5423. 30Refuse^H3988 silver^H3701 shall men them, because Jehovah^H3068 hath rejected^H3988 them.
