Shall he prosper? shall he doing these, escape? and breaking the covenant, and escaping? ¹⁶ I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if not in the place the king making him king which he despised his oath, and which he broke his covenant with him, in the midst of Babel he shall die. ¹⁷ And not with great strength and with a great convocation, shall Pharaoh do for him in the war by throwing up a mound and by building a watchtower to cut off many souls? ¹⁸ And he despised the oath to break the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand, and doing all these he shall not escape. ¹⁹ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live, if not mine oath which he despised, and my covenant which he brake, and I gave it upon his head. ²⁰ And I spread my net upon him and he was taken in my net, and I brought him to Babel, and I contended with him there for his transgression which he transgressed against me. ²¹ And all his flight with all his hosts, they shall fall by the sword, and they being left shall be dispersed to every wind: and ye knew that I Jehovah spake.

²⁵ And thou profane unjust prince of Israel, to whom his day came in the time of iniquity the end. ²⁶ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Remove the tiara, and lift up the crown: this not thus: lift up the low, and make low the high. ²⁷ Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I set her: and this was not till he came which to him the judgment; and I gave him.

¹ The lifting up the word of Jehovah to Israel by the hand of Malachi.

² And it was if they shall say to thee, Whither shall we go forth? And say to them, Thus said Jehovah, Whom for death to death; and whom for the sword to the sword; and whom for famine to famine; and whom for captivity to captivity.

¹⁵ And from the weak of the people, and the rest of the people being left in the city, and those falling away which fell to the king of Babel, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks carried into exile.

²⁸ This the people which Nebuchadnezzar carried into exile: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and twenty and three. ²⁹ In the eighteenth year to Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty and two souls from Jerusalem: ³⁰ In the three and twentieth year to Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five souls: all the souls four thousand and six hundred.

⁶ Before their eyes upon the shoulder thou shalt lift up, in thick darkness thou shalt bring forth: thou shalt cover thy face, and thou shalt not see the earth: for I gave thee a wonder to the house of Israel.

⁷ And it will be from the end of ten days, and the word of Jehovah will be to Jeremiah.

⁵ And the strength of the Chaldees will pursue after the king, and they will overtake him in the sterile region of Jericho: and all his strength was scattered from him. ⁶ And they will seize the king and bring him up to the king of Babel to Riblah; and they will speak judgment with him. ⁷ And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he will bind him with fetters, and bring him to Babel.

⁶ Know ye now that God subverted me; and he folded his net about me.

⁶ He will rain upon the, unjust, snares, fire and brimstone, and a wind of violent heat: the portion of their cup.

¹⁷ Fear, and the pit, and the snare, upon thee, thou inhabiters of the earth. ¹⁸ And it was he fleeing from the voice of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he coming up out of the midst of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from the height were opened, and the foundations of the earth, will tremble.

³ And thou shalt not escape from his hand, for being seized, thou shalt be seized and be given into his hand; and thine eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babel, and his mouth shall speak to thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babel.

⁷ And he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he will bind him with fetters of brass to bring him to Babel.

²⁴ I laid snares for thee and also thou wert taken, O Babel, and thou knewest not: thou wert found and thou wert also taken, for thou didst contend against Jehovah.

⁸ And the army of the Chaldeans will pursue after the king, and they will overtake Zedekiah in the sterile regions of Jericho; and all his strength was scattered from him. ⁹ And they will seize the king and they will bring him up to the king of Babel to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he will speak judgment with him. ¹⁰ And the king of Babel will slaughter the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: and he slaughtered also all the chiefs of Judah in Riblah. ¹¹ And he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babel will bind him with fetters and bring him to Babel and give him in the house of wards till the day of his death.

¹³ From height he sent fire into my bones, and it brought them down: he spread a net for my feet, he turned me away behind: he gave me desolation, being sad all the day.

⁴⁷ Fear and a snare were to us, desolation and breaking

¹⁹ They pursuing us were swift above the eagle of the heavens: they burned after us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the desert ²⁰ The spirit of our nostrils, the Messiah of Jehovah was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

¹⁶ I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if not in the place the king making him king which he despised his oath, and which he broke his covenant with him, in the midst of Babel he shall die.

²⁰ And I spread my net upon him and he was taken in my net, and I brought him to Babel, and I contended with him there for his transgression which he transgressed against me.

⁸ And the nations will give against him round about from the provinces, and they will spread their net upon him, being taken in their pit ⁹ And they will give him in a prison with hooks, and they will bring him to the king of Babel: they will bring him into fastnesses so that his voice shall no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

³ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: and I spread my net over thee with a convocation of many peoples; and they brought thee up in my net

¹² When they shall go I will spread my net upon them; as birds of the heavens I will bring them down; I will correct them when hearing to their assembly.

³⁵ For as a snare shall it come upon all remaining upon the face of all, the earth.

³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and I drew out after you a sword: and your land was a desert, and your cities shall be a desolation.

⁴ And the city will be broken up, and all the men of war by night the way of the gate between the walls by the king's garden: (and the Chaldees against the city round about;) and he will go the way of the sterile region. ⁵ And the strength of the Chaldees will pursue after the king, and they will overtake him in the sterile region of Jericho: and all his strength was scattered from him.

¹⁶ And it was the sword which ye were afraid of it, there it shall overtake you in the land of Egypt, and the famine which ye feared from it, shall cleave after you there in Egypt, and there shall ye die.

²² And now knowing, ye shall know that by sword and by famine and by death ye shall die in the place where ye desired to go to sojourn there.

² Thou shalt burn the third in fire in the midst of the city, according to the filling up of the days of the siege: and taking the third thou shalt strike it with the sword round about it; and the third thou shalt scatter to the wind; and I will draw out the sword after them.

¹⁰ For this the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I did judgments in thee, and I scattered all thy remnant to every wind. ¹¹ For this, I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if not because thou didst defile my holy place with all thine abominable things, and with all thine abominations, and I will also diminish; and mine eye shall not spare, and also I will not pity. ¹² A third of thee in death shall die, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third shall fall by the sword round about thee; and the third I will scatter to every wind, and I will draw out the sword after them.

¹⁷ Or I shall bring a sword upon that land, and I said, Sword, thou shalt pass through the land; and I cut off from it man and cattle.

²¹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Also if I sent my four evil judgments, sword and famine, and the evil beast, and death to Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and cattle?

²¹ And all his flight with all his hosts, they shall fall by the sword, and they being left shall be dispersed to every wind: and ye knew that I Jehovah spake.

¹⁶ And Jehovah was known by the judgment he did: by the work of his hands the unjust was snared. Meditation. Silence.

¹³ And mine anger was completed, and I caused my wrath to rest upon them, and I was comforted: and they shall know that I Jehovah spake in my zeal in my completing my wrath upon them.

⁷ And the wounded fell in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹⁴ And I stretched forth my hand upon them, and I gave the land a desolation and an astonishment from the desert of Diblath, in all their dwellings: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

⁴ And mine eye shall not spare upon thee, and I will not pity: for I will give thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye knew that I am Jehovah.

¹⁰ By the sword shall ye fall upon the bound of Israel; I will judge you and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹⁶ And I left of them men of number, from the sword and from famine, and from death, so that they shall recount all their abominations among the nations where they went there; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

²⁰ And the cities being inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and they knew that I am Jehovah.

¹⁸ And these three men in its midst, I live, says the Lord Jehovah, they shall not deliver sons and daughters, for they alone shall be delivered.

²⁷ In that day thy mouth shall be opened to him escaping and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt no more be dumb: and thou wert to them for a wonder, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹¹ And I will do judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

⁶ An her daughters who are in the field, shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that am Jehovah

²⁶ And they dwelt upon it with confidence, and, they built houses, and they planted vineyards; and they dwelt with confidence in my doing judgments upon all those despising them from round about them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah their God.

³³ And in its coming (behold, it came) and they shall know that a prophet was in the midst of them.

²⁸ And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God in my carrying them captive to the nations: and I collected them into their land, and I will no more leave from them there.

¹⁶ And I made thy seed as the dust of the earth, that if a man shall be able to reckon up the dust of the earth, thy seed also shall be reckoned up.

⁴⁰ And they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, and the transgression which they dealt treacherously against me, and also that they went hostile with me; ⁴¹ I also will go hostile with them, and I brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, and then they shall be satisfied with their iniquity;

²⁴ And all the nations said, For what did Jehovah thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger? ²⁵ And they said, Because they left the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he made with them; in his bringing them forth from the land of Egypt ²⁶ And they will go and serve other gods, and will worship to them gods which they knew them not, and a portion not to them. ²⁷ And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against this land, to bring upon it all the curses written in this book. ²⁸ And Jehovah will tear them up from their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great anger, and will send them to another land as this day.

⁶ If turning back, ye shall turn back, ye and your sons from after me, and shall not watch my commands, my laws which I gave before you, and ye went and served other gods and worshiped to them: ⁷ And I cut off Israel from the face of the earth which I gave to them and the house which I consecrated to my name I will cast out from my face; and Israel was for a parable and for a derision among all peoples. ⁸ And this house shall be high, every one passing by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss: and they said, For what did Jehovah thus to this land and to this house? ⁹ And they said, Because they forsook Jehovah their God who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and they will lay hold upon other gods and worship to them, and serve them: for this, Jehovah brought, upon them all this evil.

⁹ Unless Jehovah of armies left to us an escaping so small, we were as Sodom and we were made like to Gomorrah.

¹³ And yet in it a tenth, and it turned back, and it was for consuming, as the terebinth and as the oak which in casting the trunk in them the holy seed its pillar.

¹⁹ And the remainder of the wood of his forest shall be of number, and a boy shall write them.

²² For if my people Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall turn back among them: a consumption decided overflowing justice.

¹³ For thus it shall be in the midst of the land in the midst of the peoples, as the beating of the olive, as the gleanings if the vintage was finished.

²⁴ And shame consumed the labor of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their herd, their sons and their daughters. ²⁵ We shall lie down in our shame, and our reproach will cover us: for we sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and we heard not to the voice of Jehovah our God.

²⁷ For thus said Jehovah, All the earth shall be a desert; and I will not make a completion.

⁸ And many nations passed through this city, and they said a man to his neighbor, For what did Jehovah thus to this great city? ⁹ And they said, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah their God, and they will worship to other gods, and serve them.

¹¹ For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to serve thee: for I will make a completion to all nations where I scattered thee there, but with thee I will not make a completion: and I corrected thee for judgment, and acquitting, I will not let thee go unpunished.

⁸ And I left in being to you them escaping the sword among the nations, in my scattering you in the lands. ⁹ And those escaping of you remembered me among the nations where they were carried captive there, because I was broken with their heart of a harlot, which turned away from me, and their eyes committing fornication after their blocks: and they loathed in their faces for the evils which they did for all their abominations. ¹⁰ And they shall know that I am Jehovah; not in vain spake I to do to them this evil.

²² And behold, there was left in it an escaping, sons and daughters being brought forth: behold them, they shall be brought forth to you, and ye saw their way and their doings: and ye were comforted concerning the evil which I brought upon Jerusalem, all which I brought upon her. ²³ And they comforted you, for ye shall see their way and their doings; and ye know that not in vain did I do all which I did in her, says the Lord Jehovah.

³¹ And ye remembered your evil ways and your doings which not being good, and ye loathed with your faces for your iniquities and for your abominations.

⁵ We sinned, and we did iniquity, and were evil, and rebelled, and departing from thy commands and from thy judgments. ⁶ And we heard not to thy servants the prophets who spake in thy name to our kings and our chiefs and our fathers, and to all the people of the earth. ⁷ To thee, O Jehovah, justice, and to us shame of face, as this day to the men of Judah, and to those dwelling in Jerusalem, and to all Israel being near and being far off, in all the lands where thou didst thrust them there in their transgression which they transgressed against thee. ⁸ O Jehovah, to us shame of face, to our kings, to our chiefs, and to our fathers, that we sinned against thee. ⁹ To Jehovah our God compassion and forgivenesses, for we rebelled against him. ¹⁰ We heard not to the voice of Jehovah our God to go in his laws which he gave before us in the hand of his servants the prophets ¹¹ And all Israel passed by thy Laws, and departing not to hear to thy voice; and the curse will be poured upon us, and the oath which was written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we sinned against him. ¹² And he will set up his words which he spake against us, and against our judges who judged us to bring against us a great evil: which was not done under all the heavens according to what was done in Jerusalem.

⁸ Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah upon the sinning kingdom, and I destroyed it from the face of the earth; only that destroying, I will not destroy the house of Jacob, says Jehovah. ⁹ For behold, I command, and I caused the house of Israel to move to and fro among all nations as it will move to and fro in a sieve, and a stone shall not fall to the earth.

¹⁴ For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

²² And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened.

²⁷ And Esaias cries for Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:

⁴ But what say to him the intimations of divine will I have left to myself seven thousand men, who bent not the knee to Baal. ⁵ So then also in the time now has been a remnant according to the election of grace.

²⁶ In my breaking to you the rod of bread, and ten women baked your bread in one oven, and they returned your bread by weight: and ye ate, and ye shall not be satisfied.

³⁶ And they remaining of you, and I brought timidity into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the voice of a driven leaf pursued them, and they fled, fleeing the sword; and they fell, and none pursued.

⁴⁸ And thou servedst thine enemies which Jehovah shall send forth against thee in hunger and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things and he gave a yoke of iron upon thy neck till his destroying thee.

⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shalt not rest, and there shall not be rest to the sole of thy foot: and Jehovah gave to thee there a trembling heart and a wasting away of the eyes, and a faintnesss of soul.

²⁴ For my sighing will come before any bread, and my groanings shall be poured put as waters.

² Thou didst shake the earth; thou didst rend it: heal its breakings, for it is depressed. ³ Thou didst cause thy people to see a hard thing: thou didst give us to drink the wine of reeling.

⁵ Thou gavest them to eat the bread of tears, and thou wilt give them to drink in tears by measure.

⁴ My heart was struck and dried up as grass, that I forget eating my bread. ⁵ From the voice of my groaning my bone did cleave to my flesh. ⁶ I was like to the pelican of the desert: I was as the owl of the dry places. ⁷ I watched and I shall be as the sparrow being alone upon the roof ⁸ All the day mine enemies reproached me, they praising me aware against me. ⁹ For I ate ashes as bread, and I mingled my drink with weeping.

⁹ With our souls we shall bring our bread from the face of the sword of the desert

³³ Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and with sorrow, the cup of astonishment and desolation, the cup of thy sister Shomeron.

¹¹ And the earth shall be corrupted to the face of God; and the earth shall be filled with violence. ¹² And God shall see the earth, and lo, it was corrupted, for all flesh corrupted its way upon the earth. ¹³ And God will say to Noah, The end of all flesh came in to my face, for the earth was filled with violence from the face of them, and behold me destroying them from the earth.

¹⁰ And he will rise and go to Zarephath, and will come to the entrance of the city, and behold there a widow woman gathering wood: and he will call to her, and say, Take now to me a little water in a vessel, and I will drink. ¹¹ And she will go to take, and he will call to her and say, Take now to me a bit of bread in thy hand. ¹² And she will say, Jehovah thy God lives, if there is to me a cake, but a handful of flour in a bucket, and a little oil in a cruse: and behold me gathering two woods, and I went to do it for me and for my son, and we shall eat and die.

¹ To David chanting. To Jehovah the earth and its fulness, the habitable globe and they dwelling in it.

³⁴ A land of fruit to saltness, for the evil of those dwelling in it

¹¹ And saying, How long, O Lord? And he will say, Till when the cities were laid waste from not being inhabited, and the houses from not a man, and the land shall be laid waste with desolation.

⁷ As a pit, letting flow her waters, so she dug up her evil: violence and oppression will be heard in her; upon my face continually disease and smiting.

¹⁰ For the mountains I will lift up weeping and lamentation, and for the seats of the desert, a song of mourning, for they were burnt, from not a man passing through; and they heard not the voice of cattle: from the bird of the heavens and even to the cattle, they fled away, they departed. ¹¹ And I gave Jerusalem for heaps and a dwelling of jackals; and the cities of Judah I will give a desolation from none inhabiting.

²² Behold, a voice of tidings coming, and a great shaking from the land of the north, to set the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling of jackals.

¹⁶ To set their land for a desolation, eternal hissings; every one passing over it shall be astonished and shall shake with his head.

²⁸ For this, thus said Jehovah, Behold me giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, and he took it

¹⁰ Thus said Jehovah: Yet shall be heard in this place which ye were saying it was laid waste without man and without cattle, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, being desolate without man and without inhabitant, and without cattle,

¹² Thus said Jehovah of armies: Yet shall be in this place being laid waste without man and without cattle, and in all its cities, the habitation of the shepherds causing the sheep to lie down.

¹⁶ And he will say to me, Son of man, behold me breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they ate bread by weight and with fear; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment

⁶ In all your dwellings the cities shalt be laid waste, and the heights shall be made desolate; so that your altars shall be laid waste and destroyed, and your blocks were broken and ceased, and your images were cut down, and your works were wiped away. ⁷ And the wounded fell in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

²³ Make the chain: for the land was filled with judgment of bloods, and the city was filled with violence.

³ For this, prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because for, because of making desolate, and panting after you from round about, for you to be a possession for the remainder of the nations, and ye will come up upon the lips of the tongue and a slander of the people:

¹⁰ Building Zion with bloods and Jerusalem with iniquity. ¹¹ Her heads will judge for a gift, and her priests will teach for hire, and her prophets will divine for silver: and they will lean upon Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? he will not bring evil upon us. ¹² For this, on account of you Zion shall be ploughed a field, and Jerusalem shall be ruins, and the mountain of the house for the heights of the forest.

¹³ And the land was for a desolation upon its inhabitants from the fruit of their doings. ¹⁴ And I will toss them about among all the nations which they knew not: and the land was desolate after them from passing through and from turning back: and they shall set the land of desire for a desolation.

²⁶ For of the Lord the earth, and its fulness.

²⁸ And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness:

²⁶ And her entrances sighed and mourned; and being clean, she shall sit upon the earth.

²³ And it was in that day every place shall be where shall be there a thousand vines for a thousand of silver, for sharp points and thorns shall it be. ²⁴ With arrows and with bows shall he come there: for sharp points and thorns shall be all the land.

³ Being emptied, the land shall be emptied: and being plundered, it shall be plundered: for Jehovah spake this word.

¹² Desolation was left in the city, and the gate shall be struck in ruins.

¹⁰ The cities of thy holy place were desert; Zion was a desert., Jerusalem a desolation. ¹¹ The house of our holy place and our glory where our fathers praised thee, was for a burning of fire, and all our precious things were for desolation.

⁷ The lion came up from his thicket, and destroying, he broke up the nations; he went forth from his place to set thy land for a desolation; thy cities shall be laid waste from none inhabiting.

²³ I saw the earth, and behold, emptiness and a void; and to the heavens, and no lights. ²⁴ I saw the mountains, and behold them trembling, and all the hills were shaken. ²⁵ I saw, and behold, no man, and all the birds of the heavens fled away. ²⁶ I saw, and behold, Carmel a desert, and all its cities were broken down from the face of Jehovah, from the face of the heat of his anger. ²⁷ For thus said Jehovah, All the earth shall be a desert; and I will not make a completion. ²⁸ For this, shall the earth mourn, and the heavens became dark from above: because I spake, I purposed, I lamented not, and I will not turn back from it ²⁹ From the voice of the horseman and the throwing of the bowman all the city fled; they went into thickets, and they went up upon rocks: every city was forsaken, and not a man dwelling in them.

¹⁰ Many shepherds destroyed my vineyard, they trod down my portion, they gave the portion of my desire for a desert of desolation. ¹¹ Setting her for a desolation, she mourned to me; all the land was set a desolation, for no man put upon his heart ¹² They spoiling came upon all the hills of the desert: for the sword of Jehovah consumed from the extremity of the land even to extremity of the land: no peace to all flesh.

⁹ For thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel: Behold me causing to cease from this place to your eyes and in your days the voice of gladness and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

¹¹ And say to them, Thus said Jehovah of armies: According to this will I break this people and this city, as he will break the potter's vessel which shall not be able to be healed any more: and in Tophet shall they bury, from not a place to bury.

⁸ And as the evil figs which shall not be eaten from being evil; for thus said Jehovah, So will I give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his chiefs, and the remainder of Jerusalem, those remaining in this land, and those dwelling in the land of Egypt: ⁹ And I gave them for maltreatment, and for evil to all the kingdoms of the earth, for a reproach and for a parable, and for a derision, and for a curse in, all the places which I shall thrust them away there. ¹⁰ And I sent among them the sword, the famine, and the death, even to the consuming them from off the land which I gave to them and to their fathers.

⁹ Behold me sending, and I took all the families of the north, says Jehovah, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, my servant, and I brought them against this land and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and I devoted them to destruction, and I set them for a desolation and for a hissing, and for perpetual wastes.

²² Behold me commanding, says Jehovah; and I turned them back to this city, and they warred against it and took it, and burnt it in fire: and the cities of Judah will I give to desolation from none inhabiting.

¹⁸ For mount Zion was laid waste, the foxes went upon it.

⁶ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the tree of the vine upon the tree of the forest which I gave it to the fire for consuming, thus I gave the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁸ And I gave the land a desolation, because they transgressed a transgression, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁷ And now, O our God, hear to the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy desolated holy place, for sake of Jehovah.

¹⁹ Saying, He shall hasten, he shall urge on his work, so that we shall see: and the counsel of the holy one of Israel shall draw near and come and we shall know.

¹² They lied against Jehovah, and they will say, Not he; and evil shall not come upon us; and we shall not see the sword and famine: ¹³ And the prophets shall be for wind, and the word not in them: so shall it be done to them.

³³ And when this people, or prophet, or priest, shall ask thee, saying, What the burden of Jehovah? and thou saidst to them, What burden? And I cast you off, says Jehovah. ³⁴ And the prophet and the priest and the people which shall say, The burden of Jehovah, and I reviewed upon that man, and upon his house. ³⁵ Thus shall ye say, a man to his neighbor, a man to his brother, What answered Jehovah? and what spake Jehovah? ³⁶ And ye shall no more make mention of the burden of Jehovah, for the burden to a man shall be his word; and ye perverted the words of the living God, Jehovah of armies our God. ³⁷ Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What answered Jehovah? and what spake Jehovah? ³⁸ And if ye shall say, The burden of Jehovah; for this, thus said Jehovah, Because ye said this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I shall send to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah: ³⁹ Therefore behold me, and neglecting, I deserted you, and I cast you off, and the city which I gave to you and to your fathers from my face. ⁴⁰ And I gave upon you an eternal reproach and perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

³ Saying, It not being near; build houses: this the pot, and we the flesh.

²⁷ Son of man, behold the house of Israel saying, The vision which he saw is for many days, and for the times afar off he prophesied.

⁴⁴ Behold, all using parables will use a parable against thee, saying, As the mother, the daughter.

² What to you making use of this parable upon the land of Israel, saying, The fathers will eat sour grapes and the sons' teeth will be blunted? ³ I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if it shall be to you more to use this parable in Israel.

³ Extending to the evil day, and ye will bring near the seat of violence;

³ Knowing this first, that in the last of the days shall mockers come for deceiving, going according to their own eager desires, ⁴ And saying, Where is the solemn promise of his presence? for from the time the fathers were set to sleep, so continue all things from the beginning of creation.

¹³ Jehovah shall laugh at him: for he saw that his day will come.

²² And now ye shall not be mocker's lest your bonds shall be strong: for I heard a completion and decision from the Lord. Jehovah of armies upon all the earth.

² And thou son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end, the end came upon the four corners of the land.

⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: An evil, one evil, behold, coming ⁶ An end came, the end came: it awaked against thee; behold, it came. ⁷ The circle came to thee, thou inhabiting the land: the time came, the day of consternation drew near, and not the shout of joy of the mountains.

¹⁰ Behold the day, behold, it came: the circle shall go forth; the rod blossomed, pride flourished. ¹¹ Violence rose up for a rod of injustice: not from them, not from their multitude, and not from their confusion: and nothing eminent in them. ¹² The time came, the day drew near: he buying shall not rejoice, and he selling, shall not mourn: for burning upon all her multitude.

²⁵ For I am Jehovah: I will speak, what word I will speak and it shall be done; it shall no more be protracted: for in your days, O house of contradiction, I will speak the word, and I did it, says the Lord Jehovah.

³ I live, says the Lord Jehovah, if it shall be to you more to use this parable in Israel.

¹ Clang ye the trumpet in Zion, shout in my holy mountain: all the inhabitants of the land shall be moved, for the day of Jehovah is coming, for it is near.

¹⁴ The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near and hastening greatly, the voice of the day of Jehovah: the strong one cried there bitterly.

¹ For behold, the day coming, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all doing injustice were straw: and the day coming burnt them, said Jehovah of armies, that it shall not leave to them root and branch.

³⁴ Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be.

⁸ Be longsuffering, ye also; make your hearts firm: for the arrival of the Lord has drawn near. ⁹ Groan not against one another, brethren, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

¹¹ And Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, will make to him horns of iron: and he will say, Thus said Jehovah, With these shalt thou push Aram till thou finished them. . ¹² And all the prophets prophesying thus, saying, Go up to Ramath-Gilead and prosper: and Jehovah gave into the hand of the king. ¹³ And the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake to him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets of one mouth good to the king: will thy words now be according to the word of one of them, and speak thou good?

¹⁷ And he will say, I saw all Israel scattered to the mountains as sheep which not to them a shepherd: and Jehovah will say, No lords to these; they shall turn back a man to his house in peace.

²⁸ A tongue of falsehood will hate its crushing, and a smooth mouth will make an overthrow.

¹³ And saying, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets saying to them, Ye shall not see the sword, and famine shall not be to you; for the peace of truth will I give to you in this place. ¹⁴ And Jehovah will say to me, The prophets are prophesying a lie in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spake not to them: a vision of falsehood and a divination, and nought, and the deceit of their heart they are prophesying to you. ¹⁵ For this, thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets prophesying in my name, and I sent them not, and they saying, The sword and famine shall not be in this land; by the sword and by famine shall these prophets die. ¹⁶ And the people which they are prophesying to them shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, from the face of the famine and the sword; and none to them burying them, their wives and their sons and their daughters; and I poured their evil upon them.

¹⁴ And in the prophets of Jerusalem I saw a horrible thing, committing adultery and going in falsehood: and they strengthened the hands of those doing evil, they turned not back a man from his evil: they were to me all of them as Sodom, and those dwelling in her as Gomorrah. ¹⁵ For this, thus said Jehovah of armies concerning the prophets, Behold me feeding them with wormwood, and I caused to drink the water of poison: for from the prophets of Jerusalem went forth profaneness to all the earth. ¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah of armies, Ye shall not hear to the words of the prophets prophesying to you; they making you vain: they will speak the vision of their heart, not from the mouth of Jehovah. ¹⁷ Saying to say to those despising the word of Jehovah, There shall be peace to you; and every one going in the stubbornness of his heart, they said, Evil shall not come to you. ¹⁸ For who stood in the consultation of Jehovah, and will see and hear his word who attended to his word and will hear? ¹⁹ Behold, the storm of Jehovah went forth with wrath, a piercing storm; it shall be hurled upon the head of the evil ones. ²⁰ The anger of Jehovah shall not turn back till his doing, and till his setting up the purposes of his heart: in the last of the days ye shall understand in it with understanding. ²¹ I sent not the prophets, and they ran; I spake not to them, and they prophesied. ²² And if they stood in my consultation, and they will cause my people to hear my word, and turn them back from their evil way and from the evil of their doings. ²³ Am I God from near, says Jehovah, and not God from far off? ²⁴ If a man shall hide in secret places and I shall not see him, says Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? says Jehovah. ²⁵ I heard what the prophets said, prophesying a falsehood in my name, saying, I dreamed, I dreamed. ²⁶ How long is it in the heart of the prophets prophesying a lie, and prophesying the deceit of their heart? ²⁷ Reckoning to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they will recount a man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name in Baal. ²⁸ The prophet whom with him a dream, he will recount a dream; and whom my word with him, he will speak my word in truth. What to the straw with the grain? says Jehovah. ²⁹ So is not my word as fire? says Jehovah; and as a hammer, it will break the rock in pieces.

¹⁴ Thy prophets saw for thee vanity and a foolish thing, and they uncovered not upon thine iniquity to turn back thy captivity; and they will see for thee burdens of falsehood and seductions.

⁶ They saw vanity and a divination of falsehood, saying, says Jehovah: and Jehovah sent them not: and they waited to raise up the word.

²³ For this, ye shall not see falsehood, and ye shall no more divine a divination: and I delivered my people from your hand: and ye knew that I am Jehovah.

² And it was in that day, says Jehovah of armies, I will cut off the names of the images from the land, and they shall be remembered no more: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. ³ And it was if a man shall yet prophesy, and his father and his mother who begat him, said to him, Thou shalt not live, for thou spakest falsehood in the name of Jehovah: and his father and his mother begetting him thrust him through in his prophesying. ⁴ And it was in that day the prophets shall be ashamed, each of his vision, in his prophesying; and they shall not put on a mantle of hair to speak lies:

¹⁸ For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent.

⁵ For neither once in word were we flatterers, as ye know, neither in a pretext of covetousness; God the witness:

² (And many shall follow their licentiousness; by whom the way of truth shall be defamed.) ³ And by covetousness with feigned words shall trade in you: to whom judgment since a long while is not inactive, and their perdition sleeps not.

²⁸ Say to them, I live, says Jehovah, if not as ye spake in mine ears, so will I do to you: ²⁹ In this desert shall your carcasses fall; and all of you being reviewed according to all your number, from the son of twenty years and above, who murmured against me. ³⁰ If ye shall come in to the land which I lifted up my hand for you to dwell in it, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun. ³¹ And your little ones which ye said shall be for a prey, and I brought them in, and they shall know the land which ye rejected ³² And you, your carcasses shall fall in this desert ³³ And your sons shall be fed in the desert forty years, and bear your fornications till your carcasses be finished in the desert ³⁴ According to the number of days which ye searched out the land, forty days, a day a year, a day for a year, shall ye your iniquities; forty years, and ye knew my withdrawal.

²⁴ Jehovah of armies sware, saying, If not as I purposed thus it was, and as I counseled, this shall stand:

¹¹ So shall be my word which went forth out of my mouth: it shall not turn back to me empty, but doing what I delighted in, and it shall prosper for what I send it

¹⁷ Jehovah did what he purposed; he completed his word which he commanded in days of old: he pulled down and he pitied not: and be will gladden the enemy over thee; he lifted up the horn of thine adversaries.

¹⁰ And they shall know that I am Jehovah; not in vain spake I to do to them this evil.

¹ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ² Son of man, thou art dwelling in the midst of a house of contradiction, which to them eyes to see, and they saw not: ears to them to hear, and they heard not: for they are a house of contradiction.

²⁸ For this, say to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No more shall my words be protracted, for I will speak the word and it shall be done, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹² And he will set up his words which he spake against us, and against our judges who judged us to bring against us a great evil: which was not done under all the heavens according to what was done in Jerusalem.

⁵ See ye among the nations, and look, and wonder; ye shall wonder: for the working a work in your days ye will not believe if it shall be recounted. ⁶ But the words and the laws which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not reach your fathers? and they will turn back and say, As Jehovah of armies purposed to do to us according to our ways and according to our doings, so he did with us.

³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away.

³⁰ Truly I say to you, that this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be. ³¹ Heaven and earth shall pass away, and my words shall not pass away.

¹³ And it shall turn out to you for a testimony.

³³ Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away.

¹⁴ For this, hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye men of scorn, ruling this people which is in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ Because ye said, We cut out a covenant with death, and with hades we did this; when this overflowing scourge passed through it shall not come to us, for we set falsehood our refuge, and in ahewe hid ourselves.,

²² Son of man, what this parable to you upon the land of Israel, saying, The days will be prolonged and every vision perished?

¹⁴ And I came to cause thee to understand what shall happen to thy people in the last of the days: for yet the vision for days.

⁴ And saying, Where is the solemn promise of his presence? for from the time the fathers were set to sleep, so continue all things from the beginning of creation.

²⁸ And escaping the sword there shall turn back from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, men of number, and all the remnant of Judah going to the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall be raised up from me and from them.

²³ For this, say to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I caused this parable to cease, and they shall no more use it for a parable in Israel; but speak to them: The days drew near, and the word of every vision. ²⁴ For no more shall there be any vain vision and smooth divination in the midst of the house of Israel. ²⁵ For I am Jehovah: I will speak, what word I will speak and it shall be done; it shall no more be protracted: for in your days, O house of contradiction, I will speak the word, and I did it, says the Lord Jehovah.

⁴⁸ But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays to come; ⁴⁹ And he should begin to strike the fellow-servants, and to eat and drink with those intoxicated; ⁵⁰ The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, ⁵¹ And he shall cut him in two equal parts, and he shall set his portion with the hypocrites: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³² And concerning that day and hour none knows, nor the messengers in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. ³³ See, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. ³⁴ As a man travelling, having left his house, and having given power to his servants, and to each his work, and he commanded the guard of the door that he should watch. ³⁵ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at eve, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or morning. ³⁶ Lest having come suddenly he find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch ye.

³⁴ And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly. ³⁵ For as a snare shall it come upon all remaining upon the face of all, the earth. ³⁶ Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes. ³ For when they say, Peace and security; then sudden ruin is upon them, as anguish in her with child; and they may not escape.

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and do thou, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I shall come upon thee.
