Jeremiah 4

1IfH518 thou wilt returnH7725, O IsraelH3478, saith the LORDH3068, unto meH413 shalt thou returnH7725: and ifH518 thou wilt putH5493 awayH5493 thine abominationsH8251 outH6440 of my sightH6440, then shalt thou notH3808 be removedH5493; 2and thou shalt swearH7650, As the LORDH3068 liveth, in truthH571, in judgmentH4941, and in righteousnessH6666; and the nationsH1471 shall blessH1288 themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. 3For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 to the menH376 of JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, BreakH5214 upH413 your fallow ground, and sowH2232 notH408 among thornsH6975. 4CircumciseH4135 yourselves to the LORDH3068, and takeH5493 awayH5493 the foreskinsH6190 of your heartH3824, ye menH376 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: lestH6435 my furyH2534 goH3318 forthH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that noneH369 canH369 quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611. 5DeclareH5046 ye in JudahH3063, and publish in JerusalemH3389; and sayH559, BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in the landH776: cryH7121 aloudH8085 and sayH559? AssembleH622 yourselves, and letH5046 usH413 goH935 intoH413 the fenced citiesH5892. 6SetH5975 upH5375 a standardH5251 towardH935 ZionH6726: fleeH5756 for safetyH5756, stayH5975 notH408: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667. 7A lionH738 is goneH3318 upH5927 from his thicketH5441, and a destroyerH7843 of nationsH1471; he is on his way, he is goneH3318 forthH3318 from his placeH4725; to makeH7760 thy landH776 desolateH8047, that thy citiesH5892 be laidH7760 wasteH8047, withoutH369 inhabitantH3427. 8For this girdH2296 youH3588 with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594 and howlH3213: for the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 is notH3808 turnedH7725 backH7725 from usH5921. 9And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 at that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068, that the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 shall perishH6, and the heartH3820 of the princesH8269; and the priestsH3548 shall be astonishedH8074, and the prophetsH5030 shall wonderH8539. 10Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH136! surelyH403 thou hast greatly deceived this peopleH5971 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall have peaceH7965; whereas the swordH2719 reacheth unto the soulH5315. 11At that time shall it be saidH559 to this peopleH5971 and to JerusalemH3389, A hot windH7307 from the bareH8205 heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057 towardH1870 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, notH3808 to fan, norH3808 to cleanseH1305; 12a fullH4392 windH7307 from theseH428 shall comeH935 for meH935: nowH6258 will I also utterH1696 judgmentsH4941 againstH854 them. 13BeholdH2009, he shall comeH5927 upH5927 as cloudsH6051, and his chariotsH4818 shall be as the whirlwind: his horsesH5483 are swifterH7043 thanH3588 eaglesH5404. WoeH188 unto usH3588! for weH3588 are spoiled. 14O JerusalemH3389, washH3526 thine heartH3820 from wickednessH205, that thou mayest be savedH3467. HowH4970 longH5704 shall thine evilH7451 thoughtsH4284 lodge withinH7130 thee? 15For a voiceH6963 declareth from DanH1835, and publisheth evilH205 from the hillsH2022 of EphraimH669: 16makeH5414 ye mentionH2142 to the nationsH1471; beholdH2009, publish againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, that watchers comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, and giveH5414 outH5921 their voiceH6963 againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. 17As keepersH8104 of a fieldH7704 are they againstH5921 herH5921 roundH5439 aboutH1961; becauseH3588 sheH3588 hath been rebelliousH4784 againstH5921 meH5921, saith the LORDH3068. 18Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procured theseH428 things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451; for it is bitterH4751, for it reacheth unto thine heartH3820. 19My bowelsH4578, my bowelsH4578! I am pained at my very heartH3820; my heartH3820 is disquieted in meH5315; I cannotH3808 hold my peace; becauseH3588 thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. 20DestructionH7667 uponH5921 destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the wholeH3605 landH776 is spoiled: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiled, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281. 21HowH4970 longH5704 shall I seeH7200 the standardH5251, and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782? 22For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they knowH3045 meH995 notH3808; they are sottish childrenH1121, and they have noneH3808 understandingH995: they are wiseH2450 to doH3190 evilH7489, but to doH3190 goodH3190 they have noH3808 knowledgeH3045. 23I beheld the earthH776, and, loH2009, it was wasteH8414 and voidH922; and the heavensH8064, and they had noH369 lightH216. 24I beheld the mountainsH2022, and, loH2009, they trembled, and allH3605 the hillsH1389 movedH7043 to and froH7043. 25I beheld, and, loH2009, there was noH369 manH120, and allH3605 the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 were fledH5074. 26I beheld, and, loH2009, the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759 was a wildernessH4057, and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof were brokenH5422 downH5422 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his fierceH2740 angerH639. 27For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, The wholeH3605 landH776 shall be a desolationH8077; yet will I notH3808 makeH6213 a fullH3605 endH3617. 28For this shall the earthH776 mournH56, and the heavensH8064 aboveH5921 be blackH6937: becauseH3588 I have spokenH1696 it, I have purposedH2161 it, and I have notH3808 repentedH5162, neitherH3808 will I turnH7725 backH7725 from it. 29The wholeH3605 cityH5892 fleeth for the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571 and bowmenH7198; they goH935 intoH935 the thicketsH5645, and climbH5927 upH5927 uponH935 the rocksH3710: everyH3605 cityH5892 is forsaken, and notH369 a manH376 dwelleth therein. 30And thou, when thou art spoiled, whatH4100 wilt thou doH6213? ThoughH3588 thou clothest thyself with scarletH8144, thoughH3588 thou deckest thee with ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091, thoughH3588 thou enlargest thine eyesH5869 with paintH6320, in vainH7723 dost thou makeH6213 thyself fair; thy loversH5689 despiseH3988 thee, they seekH1245 thy lifeH5315. 31For I have heardH8085 a voiceH6963 as of a womanH1323 in travail, the anguishH6869 as of herH8085 that bringeth forthH8085 herH8085 firstH1069 childH1069, the voiceH6963 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, that gaspeth for breathH3306, that spreadeth herH8085 handsH3709, sayingH6963, WoeH188 is meH4994 nowH4994! for my soulH5315 fainteth beforeH5888 the murderersH2026.
