1
"Roam to and fro
through the streets
of Jerusalem,
And look
now
and take note.
And seek
in her open squares,
If
you can find
a man,
If
there
is one who does
justice,
who seeks
truth,
Then I will pardon
her.
2
"And although
they say,
'As the LORD
lives,'
Surely
they swear
falsely."
3
O LORD,
do not Your eyes
look for truth?
You have smitten
them, But they did not weaken;
You have consumed
them, But they refused
to take
correction.
They have made
their faces
harder
than
rock;
They have refused
to repent.
4
Then I said,
"They are only
the poor,
They are foolish;
For they do not know
the way
of the LORD
Or the ordinance
of their God.
5
"I will go
to the great
And will speak
to them, For they know
the way
of the LORD
And the ordinance
of their God."
But they too, with one accord,
have broken
the yoke
And burst
the bonds.
6
Therefore
a lion
from the forest
will slay
them, A wolf
of the deserts
will destroy
them, A leopard
is watching
their cities.
Everyone
who goes
out of them will be torn in pieces,
Because
their transgressions
are many,
Their apostasies
are numerous.
7
"Why
should I pardon
you? Your sons
have forsaken
Me And sworn
by those who are not gods.
When I had fed them to the full,
They committed adultery
And trooped
to the harlot's
house.
8
"They were well-fed
lusty
horses,
Each one
neighing
after
his neighbor's
wife.
9
"Shall I not punish
these
people," declares
the LORD,
"And on a nation
such
as this
Shall I not avenge
Myself?
10
"Go
up through her vine rows
and destroy,
But do not execute
a complete destruction;
Strip away
her branches,
For they are not the LORD'S.
11
"For the house
of Israel
and the house
of Judah
Have dealt
very treacherously
with Me," declares
the LORD.
12
They have lied
about the LORD
And said,
"Not He; Misfortune
will not come
on us, And we will not see
sword
or famine.
13
"The prophets
are as wind,
And the word
is not in them. Thus
it will be done
to them!"
14
Therefore,
thus
says
the LORD,
the God
of hosts,
"Because
you have spoken
this
word,
Behold,
I am making
My words
in your mouth
fire
And
this
people
wood,
and it will consume
them.
15
"Behold,
I am bringing
a nation
against
you from afar,
O house
of Israel,"
declares
the LORD.
"It is an enduring
nation,
It is an ancient
nation,
A nation
whose language
you do not know,
Nor
can you understand
what
they say.
16
"Their quiver
is like an open
grave,
All
of them are mighty men.
17
"
They will devour
your harvest
and your food;
They will devour
your sons
and your daughters;
They will devour
your flocks
and your herds;
They will devour
your vines
and your fig trees;
They will demolish
with the sword
your fortified
cities
in which
you trust.
18
"Yet even
in those
days,"
declares
the LORD,
"I will not make
you a complete destruction.
19
"It sh
all
come
about when
they say,
'Why
has the LORD
our God
done
all
these things
to us?' then you sh
all
say
to them, 'As you have forsaken
Me and served
foreign
gods
in your land,
so
you will serve
strangers
in a land
that is not yours.'
20
"Declare
this
in the house
of Jacob
And proclaim
it in Judah,
saying,
21
'
Now
hear
this,
O foolish
and senseless
people,
Who have eyes
but do not see;
Who have ears
but do not
hear
.
22
'
Do you not fear
Me?' declares
the LORD.
'Do you not tremble
in My presence?
For I have placed
the sand
as a boundary
for the sea,
An eternal
decree,
so it cannot
cross
over
it.
Though the waves
toss,
yet they cannot
prevail;
Though they roar,
yet they cannot
cross
over
it.
23
'
But this
people
has
a stubborn
and rebellious
heart;
They have turned aside
and departed.
24
'
They do not say
in their heart,
"Let us now
fear
the LORD
our God,
Who gives
rain
in its season,
Both the autumn
rain
and the spring
rain
,
Who keeps
for us The appointed
weeks
of the harvest."
25
'
Your iniquities
have turned
these
away,
And your sins
have withheld
good
from you.
26
'
For wicked men
are found
among My people,
They watch
like fowlers
lying in wait;
They set
a trap,
They catch
men.
27
'
Like a cage
full
of birds,
So
their houses
are
full
of deceit;
Therefore
they have become great
and rich.
28
'
They are fat,
they are sleek,
They also
excel
in deeds
of wickedness;
They do not plead
the cause,
The cause
of the orphan,
that they may prosper;
And they do not defend
the rights
of the poor.
29
Shall I not punish
these
people?' declares
the LORD,
'On a nation
such
as this
Shall I not avenge
Myself?'
30
"An appalling
and horrible thing
Has happened
in the land:
31
The prophets
prophesy
falsely,
And the priests
rule
on their own authority;
And My people
love
it so!
But what
will you do
at the end
of it?
