4For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: “1SeekH1875 Me 2so that you may liveH2421.5But do not 3resortH1875 to 4BethelH1008 And do not comeH935 to 5GilgalH1537, NorH3808 crossH5674 overH5674 to 6BeershebaH884; For GilgalH1537 will certainlyH1540 goH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540 And BethelH1008 will 7comeH1961 to nothingH205.68SeekH1875 the LordH3068 so that you may liveH2421, OrH6435 He will breakH6743 throughH6743 like a 9fireH784, 10houseH1004 of JosephH3130, And it will consumeH398 with noH369 oneH369 to extinguishH3518 it for BethelH1008,7For those who turnH2015 11justiceH4941 into wormwoodH3939, And 12throwH5117 righteousnessH6666 to the earthH776.”
8He who madeH6213 the 13PleiadesH3598 and OrionH3685, And 14changesH2015 deepH6757 darknessH6757 into morningH1242, 15Who also 16darkensH2821 dayH3117 into nightH3915, Who 17callsH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 And poursH8210 them outH8210 on the surfaceH6440 of the earthH776, The 18LordH3068 is His nameH8034.9It is He who 19makesH1082 destructionH7701 flashH1082 upon the strongH5794, So that 20destructionH7701 comesH935 upon the fortressH4013.
