1

O ye children [1121] of Benjamin, [1144] gather [5756] yourselves to flee out of the midst [7130] of Jerusalem, [3389] and blow [8628] the trumpet [7782] in Tekoa, [8620] and set up [5375] a sign of fire [4864] in Bethhaccerem: [1004] [3754][1021] for evil [7451] appeareth [8259] out of the north, [6828] and great [1419] destruction. [7667]

2

I have likened [1820] the daughter [1323] of Zion [6726] to a comely [5116] and delicate [6026] [woman].

3

The shepherds [7462] with their flocks [5739] shall come [0935] unto her; they shall pitch [8628] [their] tents [0168] against her round about; [5439] they shall feed [7462] every one [0376] in his place. [3027]

4

Prepare [6942] ye war [4421] against her; arise, [6965] and let us go up [5927] at noon. [6672] Woe [0188] unto us! for the day [3117] goeth away, [6437] for the shadows [6752] of the evening [6153] are stretched out. [5186]

5

Arise, [6965] and let us go [5927] by night, [3915] and let us destroy [7843] her palaces. [0759]

6

For thus hath the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635] said, [0559] Hew ye down [3772] trees, [6097] and cast [8210] a mount [5550] against Jerusalem: [3389] this [is] the city [5892] to be visited; [6485] she [is] wholly oppression [6233] in the midst [7130] of her.

7

As a fountain [0953] casteth out [6979] her waters, [4325] so she casteth out [6979] her wickedness: [7451] violence [2555] and spoil [7701] is heard [8085] in her; before [6440] me continually [8548] [is] grief [2483] and wounds. [4347]

8

Be thou instructed, [3256] O Jerusalem, [3389] lest my soul [5315] depart [3363] from thee; lest I make [7760] thee desolate, [8077] a land [0776] not inhabited. [3427]

9

Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] They shall throughly [5953] glean [5953] the remnant [7611] of Israel [3478] as a vine: [1612] turn back [7725] thine hand [3027] as a grapegatherer [1219] into the baskets. [5552]

10

To whom shall I speak, [1696] and give warning, [5749] that they may hear? [8085] behold, their ear [0241] [is] uncircumcised, [6189] and they cannot [3808] [3201] hearken: [7181] behold, the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] is unto them a reproach; [2781] they have no delight [2654] in it.

11

Therefore I am full [4390] of the fury [2534] of the LORD; [3068] I am weary [3811] with holding in: [3557] I will pour it out [8210] upon the children [5768] abroad, [2351] and upon the assembly [5475] of young men [0970] together: [3162] for even the husband [0376] with the wife [0802] shall be taken, [3920] the aged [2205] with [him that is] full [4392] of days. [3117]

12

And their houses [1004] shall be turned [5437] unto others, [0312] [with their] fields [7704] and wives [0802] together: [3162] for I will stretch out [5186] my hand [3027] upon the inhabitants [3427] of the land, [0776] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

13

For from the least [6996] of them even unto the greatest [1419] of them every one [is] given [1214] to covetousness; [1215] and from the prophet [5030] even unto the priest [3548] every one dealeth [6213] falsely. [8267]

14

They have healed [7495] also the hurt [7667] [of the daughter] [1323] of my people [5971] slightly, [7043] saying, [0559] Peace, [7965] peace; [7965] when [there is] no peace. [7965]

15

Were they ashamed [3001] when they had committed [6213] abomination? [8441] nay, [1571] they were not at all [0954] ashamed, [0954] neither [1571] could [3045] they blush: [3637] therefore they shall fall [5307] among them that fall: [5307] at the time [6256] [that] I visit [6485] them they shall be cast down, [3782] saith [0559] the LORD. [3068]

16

Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Stand [5975] ye in the ways, [1870] and see, [7200] and ask [7592] for the old [5769] paths, [5410] where [is] the good [2896] way, [1870] and walk [3212] therein, and ye shall find [4672] rest [4771] for your souls. [5315] But they said, [0559] We will not walk [3212] [therein].

17

Also I set [6965] watchmen [6822] over you, [saying], Hearken [7181] to the sound [6963] of the trumpet. [7782] But they said, [0559] We will not hearken. [7181]

18

Therefore hear, [8085] ye nations, [1471] and know, [3045] O congregation, [5712] what [is] among them.

19

Hear, [8085] O earth: [0776] behold, I will bring [0935] evil [7451] upon this people, [5971] [even] the fruit [6529] of their thoughts, [4284] because they have not hearkened [7181] unto my words, [1697] nor to my law, [8451] but rejected [3988] it.

20

To what purpose cometh [0935] there to me incense [3828] from Sheba, [7614] and the sweet [2896] cane [7070] from a far [4801] country? [0776] your burnt offerings [5930] [are] not acceptable, [7522] nor your sacrifices [2077] sweet [6149] unto me.

21

Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Behold, I will lay [5414] stumblingblocks [4383] before this people, [5971] and the fathers [0001] and the sons [1121] together [3162] shall fall [3782] upon them; the neighbour [7934] and his friend [7453] shall perish. [0006]

22

Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Behold, a people [5971] cometh [0935] from the north [6828] country, [0776] and a great [1419] nation [1471] shall be raised [5782] from the sides [3411] of the earth. [0776]

23

They shall lay hold [2388] on bow [7198] and spear; [3591] they [are] cruel, [0394] and have no mercy; [7355] their voice [6963] roareth [1993] like the sea; [3220] and they ride [7392] upon horses, [5483] set in array [6186] as men [0376] for war [4421] against thee, O daughter [1323] of Zion. [6726]

24

We have heard [8085] the fame [8089] thereof: our hands [3027] wax feeble: [7503] anguish [6869] hath taken hold [2388] of us, [and] pain, [2427] as of a woman in travail. [3205]

25

Go not forth [3318] into the field, [7704] nor walk [3212] by the way; [1870] for the sword [2719] of the enemy [0341] [and] fear [4032] [is] on every side. [5439]

26

O daughter [1323] of my people, [5971] gird [2296] [thee] with sackcloth, [8242] and wallow [6428] thyself in ashes: [0665] make [6213] thee mourning, [0060] [as for] an only son, [3173] most bitter [8563] lamentation: [4553] for the spoiler [7703] shall suddenly [6597] come [0935] upon us.

27

I have set [5414] thee [for] a tower [0969] [and] a fortress [4013] among my people, [5971] that thou mayest know [3045] and try [0974] their way. [1870]

28

They [are] all grievous [5493] revolters, [5637] walking [1980] with slanders: [7400] [they are] brass [5178] and iron; [1270] they [are] all corrupters. [7843]

29

The bellows [4647] are burned, [2787] the lead [5777] is consumed [8552] of the fire; [0800] [0784] the founder [6884] melteth [6884] in vain: [7723] for the wicked [7451] are not plucked away. [5423]

30

Reprobate [3988] silver [3701] shall [men] call [7121] them, because the LORD [3068] hath rejected [3988] them.
