εξελιπεν φυσητηρ απο πυρος εξελιπεν μολιβος εις κενον αργυροκοπος αργυροκοπει πονηρια αυτων ουκ ετακη

For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. They have been made to stumble in their ways in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up,

Because my people H5971 hath forgotten H7911 (QalPerf) me, they have burned incense H6999 (PielImpf) to vanity, H7723 and they have caused them to stumble H3782 (HiphImpf) in their ways H1870 from the ancient H5769 paths, H7635 (Qere) H7635 to walk H3212 (QalInf) in paths, H5410 in a way H1870 not cast up; H5549 (QalPasPtc)

οτι επελαθοντο μου ο λαος μου εις κενον εθυμιασαν και ασθενησουσιν εν ταις οδοις αυτων σχοινους αιωνιους του επιβηναι τριβους ουκ εχοντας οδον εις πορειαν

Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

Thy prophets H5030 have seen H2372 (QalPerf) vain H7723 And foolish things H8602 for thee: And they have not discovered H1540 (PielPerf) thine iniquity, H5771 To turn away H7725 (HiphInf) thy captivity; H7622 (Qere) H7622 But have seen H2372 (QalImpf) for thee false H7723 burdens H4864 And causes of banishment.

They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but Yahweh has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

They have seen H2372 (QalPerf) vanity H7723 and lying H3577 divination, H7081 saying, H559 (QalActPtc) The Lord H3068 saith: H5002 (QalPasPtc) and the Lord H3068 hath not sent H7971 (QalPerf) them: and they have made others to hope H3176 (PielPerf) that they would confirm H6965 (PielInf) the word.

βλεποντες ψευδη μαντευομενοι ματαια οι λεγοντες λεγει κυριος και κυριος ουκ απεσταλκεν αυτους και ηρξαντο του αναστησαι λογον

Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but I have not spoken?”

Have ye not seen H2372 (QalPerf) a vain H7723 vision, H4236 and have ye not spoken H1696 (PielPerf) a lying H3577 divination, H4738 whereas ye say, H559 (QalActPtc) The Lord H3068 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) it; albeit I have not spoken? H559 (QalPerf)

ουχ ορασιν ψευδη εωρακατε και μαντειας ματαιας ειρηκατε

“ ‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord Yahweh.

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Because ye have spoken H1696 (PielInf) vanity, H7723 and seen H2372 (QalPerf) lies, H3577 therefore, behold, I am against you, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069

δια τουτο ειπον ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ ων οι λογοι υμων ψευδεις και αι μαντειαι υμων ματαιαι δια τουτο ιδου εγω εφ υμας λεγει κυριος

“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”

And mine hand H3027 shall be upon the prophets H5030 that see H2374 vanity, H7723 and that divine H7080 (QalActPtc) lies: H3577 they shall not be in the assembly^§ H5475 of my people, H5971 neither shall they be written H3789 (NiphImpf) in the writing H3791 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 neither shall they enter H935 (QalImpf) into the land H127 of Israel; H3478 and ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord H136 God.

Therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”

therefore ye shall see H2372 (QalImpf) no more vanity, H7723 nor divine H7080 (QalImpf) divinations: H7081 for I will deliver H5337 (HiphPerf) my people H5971 out of your hand: H3027 and ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068

It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.

And it shall be unto them as a false H7723 divination H7080 (QalInf) in their sight, H5869 to them that have sworn H7650 (QalPasPtc) oaths:^§ H7621 but he will call to remembrance H2142 (HiphPtc) the iniquity, H5771 that they may be taken. H8610 (NiphInf)

Ezekiel 21:23 Or, for the oaths made unto them

^[21:28] και αυτος αυτοις ως μαντευομενος μαντειαν ενωπιον αυτων και αυτος αναμιμνησκων αδικιας αυτου μνησθηναι

while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.

whiles they see H2372 (QalInf) vanity H7723 unto thee, whiles they divine H7080 (QalInf) a lie H3577 unto thee, to bring H5414 (QalInf) thee upon the necks H6677 of them that are slain, H2491 of the wicked, H7563 whose day H3117 is come, H935 (QalPerf) when H6256 their iniquity H5771 shall have an end.

^[21:34] εν τη ορασει σου τη ματαια και εν τω μαντευεσθαι σε ψευδη του παραδουναι σε επι τραχηλους τραυματιων ανομων ων ηκει η ημερα εν καιρω αδικιας περας

Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,’ when Yahweh has not spoken.

And her prophets H5030 have daubed H2902 (QalPerf) them with untempered H8602 morter, seeing H2374 vanity, H7723 and divining H7080 (QalActPtc) lies H3577 unto them, saying, H559 (QalActPtc) Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God, H3069 when the Lord H3068 hath not spoken. H1696 (PielPerf)

και οι προφηται αυτης αλειφοντες αυτους πεσουνται ορωντες ματαια μαντευομενοι ψευδη λεγοντες ταδε λεγει κυριος και κυριος ου λελαληκεν

They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

They have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) words, H1697 swearing H422 (QalInf) falsely H7723 in making H3772 (QalInf) a covenant: H1285 thus judgment H4941 springeth up H6524 (QalPerf) as hemlock H7219 in the furrows H8525 of the field. H7704

λαλων ρηματα προφασεις ψευδεις διαθησεται διαθηκην ανατελει ως αγρωστις κριμα επι χερσον αγρου

If Gilead is wicked, surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.

Is there iniquity H205 in Gilead? H1568 surely they are vanity: H7723 they sacrifice H2076 (PielPerf) bullocks H7794 in Gilgal; H1537 yea, their altars H4196 are as heaps H1530 in the furrows H8525 of the fields. H7704

Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

They that observe H8104 (PielPtc) lying H7723 vanities H1892 Forsake H5800 (QalImpf) their own mercy. H2617

^[2:9] φυλασσομενοι ματαια και ψευδη ελεος αυτων εγκατελιπον

For the teraphim° have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.

Zechariah 10:2 teraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property.

For the idols^§ H8655 have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) vanity, H205 and the diviners H7080 (QalActPtc) have seen H2372 (QalPerf) a lie, H8267 and have told H1696 (PielImpf) false H7723 dreams; H2472 they comfort H5162 (PielImpf) in vain: H1892 therefore they went H5265 (QalPerf) their way as a flock, H6629 they were troubled,^§ H6031 (QalImpf) because there was no shepherd.

You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Armies?

Ye have said, H559 (QalPerf) It is vain H7723 to serve H5647 (QalInf) God: H430 and what profit H1215 is it that we have kept H8104 (QalPerf) his ordinance,^§ H4931 and that we have walked H1980 (QalPerf) mournfully^§ H6941 before H6440 the Lord H3068 of hosts? H6635
