Distresses Foretold

1

The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 also cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

2

"You shall not take a wifeh802 for yourself norh3808 haveh1961 sonsh1121 or daughtersh1323 in thish2088 placeh4725."

3

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 concerningh5921 the sonsh1121 and daughtersh1323 bornh3209 in thish2088 placeh4725, and concerningh5921 their  amothersh517 who bearh3205 them, and their  bfathersh1 who begeth3205 them in thish384 landh776:

4

"They will  adieh4191 of deadlyh4463 diseasesh8463, they  bwill not be lamentedh5594 or buriedh6912; they will be as  cdungh1828 on the surfaceh6440 of the groundh127 and comeh3615 to an endh3615 by swordh2719 and famineh7458, and their carcassesh5038 will becomeh1961 foodh3978 for the  dbirdsh5775 of the skyh8064 and for the beastsh929 of the earthh776."

5

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Do not enterh935 a househ1004 of  1 amourningh4798, or goh1980 to lamenth5594 or to consoleh5110 them; for I have  bwithdrawnh622 My peaceh7965 from thish2088 peopleh5971a," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "My  clovingkindnessh2617a and compassionh7356.

6

"Both  agreath1419 menh1419 and smallh6996a will dieh4191 in thish384 landh776; they will not be buriedh6912, they will not be lamentedh5594, norh3808 will anyone  bgashh1413 himself or  cshaveh7139 his headh7139 for them.

7

"Men will not  abreakh6536 bread in mourningh60 for them, to comforth5162 anyone for the deadh4191, norh3808 giveh8248 them a cuph3563a of consolationh8575 to drinkh8248 for anyone's fatherh1 or motherh517.

8

"Moreover you shall  anot goh935 into a househ1004 of feastingh4960 to sith3427 with them to eath398 and drinkh8354."

9

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478: "Beholdh2009, I am going to  1 aeliminateh7673a from thish2088 placeh4725, before your eyesh5869 and in your timeh3117, the voiceh6963 of rejoicingh8342 and the voiceh6963 of gladnessh8057, the voiceh6963 of the groomh2860a and the voiceh6963 of the brideh3618.

10

"Now whenh3588 you tellh5046 thish2088 peopleh5971a allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697, they will sayh559 to you, ` aFor whath4100 reasonh5921h4100 has the LORDh3068 declaredh1696 allh3605 thish384 greath1419 calamityh7463a againsth5921 us? And whath4100 is our iniquityh5771, or whath4100 is our sinh2403b whichh834 we have committedh2398 against the LORDh3068 our Godh430?'

11

"Then you are to sayh559 to them, `It is  abecauseh5921h834 your forefathersh1 have forsakenh5800a Me,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `and have followedh1980h310  botherh312 godsh430 and servedh5647 them and bowedh7812 downh7812 to them; but Me they have forsakenh5800a and have not kepth8104 My lawh8451.

12

`You too have doneh6213a evilh7451a, even  amoreh4480 thanh4480 your forefathersh1; for beholdh2009, you are eachh376 oneh376 walkingh1980 accordingh310 to the  bstubbornnessh8307 of his own  cevilh7451a hearth3820, withouth1115 listeningh8085 to Me.

13

`So I will  ahurlh2904 you out of thish384 landh776 into the  blandh776 whichh834 you have not knownh3045, neither you norh3808 your fathersh1; and thereh8033 you will  cserveh5647 otherh312 godsh430 dayh3119 and nighth3915, for I will granth5414 you noh3808 favorh2594.'

God Will Restore Them

14

aThereforeh3651 beholdh2009, daysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "when it will noh3808 longerh5750 be saidh559, `As the LORDh3068 livesh2416a, whoh834  bbroughth5927 up the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714,'

15

but, `As the LORDh3068 livesh2416a, whoh834 broughth5927 up the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 from the  alandh776 of the northh6828 and from allh3605 the countriesh776 whereh834h8033 He had banishedh5080 them.' For I will restoreh7725 them to their own landh127 whichh834 I gaveh5414 to their fathersh1.

16

"Beholdh2009, I am going to sendh7971 for manyh7227a  afishermenh1728," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "and they will fishh1770 for them; and afterwardsh310h3651 I will sendh7971 for manyh7227a huntersh6719a, and they will  bhunth6679 them  cfrom everyh3605 mountainh2022 and everyh3605 hillh1389 and from the cleftsh5357 of the rocksh5553.

17

aFor My eyesh5869 are on allh3605 their waysh1870; they are not hiddenh5641 from My faceh6440,  bnorh3808 is their iniquityh5771 concealedh6845 from My eyesh5869.

18

"I will firsth7223  adoublyh4932 repayh7999a their iniquityh5771 and their sinh2403b, becauseh5921 they have  bpollutedh2490c My landh776; they have filledh4390 My inheritanceh5159 with the carcassesh5038 of their  cdetestableh8251 idolsh8251 and with their abominationsh8441."

19

O LORDh3068, my  astrengthh5797 and my strongholdh4581, And my  brefugeh4498 in the dayh3117 of distressh6869a, To You the  cnationsh1471 will comeh935 From the endsh657 of the earthh776 and sayh559, "Our fathersh1 have inheritedh5157 nothingh389 but  dfalsehoodh8267, Futilityh1892 and  1 ethingsh3276 of noh369 profith3276."

20

Can manh120 makeh6213a godsh430 for himself? Yet they are  anot godsh430!

21

"Thereforeh3651 beholdh2009, I am going to make them knowh3045-- Thish384 timeh6471 I will  amake them knowh3045 My  1powerh3027 and My mighth1369; And they shall  bknowh3045 that My nameh8034 is the LORDh3068."
