[1] Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out! [2] It will happen when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says:
“Such as are for death, to death;
such as are for the sword, to the sword;
such as are for the famine, to the famine;
and such as are for captivity, to captivity.”’ [3] “I will appoint over them four kinds,” says Yahweh: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy. [4] I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
[5] For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?
Who will mourn you?
Who will come to ask of your welfare?
[6] You have rejected me,” says Yahweh.
“You have gone backward.
Therefore I have stretched out my hand against you
and destroyed you.
I am weary of showing compassion.
[7] I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land.
I have bereaved them of children.
I have destroyed my people.
They didn’t return from their ways.
[8] Their widows are increased more than the sand of the seas.
I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday.
I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly.
[9] She who has borne seven languishes.
She has given up the spirit.
Her sun has gone down while it was yet day.
She has been disappointed and confounded.
I will deliver their residue to the sword before their enemies,” says Yahweh. [10] Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife,
and a man of contention to the whole earth!
I have not lent, neither have men lent to me;
yet every one of them curses me. [11] Yahweh said,
“Most certainly I will strengthen you for good.
Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil
and in the time of affliction.
[12] Can one break iron,
even iron from the north, and bronze?
[13] I will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder without price,
and that for all your sins,
even in all your borders.
[14] I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know;
for a fire is kindled in my anger,
which will burn on you.” [15] Yahweh, you know.
Remember me, visit me,
and avenge me of my persecutors.
You are patient, so don’t take me away.
Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
[16] Your words were found,
and I ate them.
Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart,
for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
[17] I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice.
I sat alone because of your hand,
for you have filled me with indignation.
[18] Why is my pain perpetual,
and my wound incurable,
which refuses to be healed?
Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail? [19] Therefore Yahweh says,
“If you return, then I will bring you again,
that you may stand before me;
and if you take out the precious from the vile,
you will be as my mouth.
They will return to you,
but you will not return to them.
[20] I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall.
They will fight against you,
but they will not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
[21] “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,
and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
King James Version
[1] Then said H559 the Lord H3068 unto H413 me, Though Moses H4872 and Samuel H8050 stood H5975 before H6440 me, yet my mind H5315 could not be toward this people: H5971 cast them out H7971 of my sight, H6440 and let them go forth. H3318 [2] And it shall come to pass, if they say H559 unto H413 thee, Whither shall we go forth? H3318 then thou shalt tell H559 them, Thus saith H559 the Lord; H3068 Such as are for death, H4194 to death; H4194 and such as are for the sword, H2719 to the sword; H2719 and such as are for the famine, H7458 to the famine; H7458 and such as are for the captivity, H7628 to the captivity. H7628 [3] And I will appoint H6485 over H5921 them four H702 kinds, H4940§ saith H5002 the Lord: H3068 H853 the sword H2719 to slay, H2026 and the dogs H3611 to tear, H5498 and the fowls H5775 of the heaven, H8064 and the beasts H929 of the earth, H776 to devour H398 and destroy. H7843 [4] And I will cause H5414 them to be removed H2189§ H2113 into all kingdoms H4467 of the earth, H776 because H1558 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Hezekiah H3169 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 for that which he did H6213 in Jerusalem. H3389 [5] For H3588 who shall have pity H2550 upon H5921 thee, O Jerusalem? H3389 or who shall bemoan H5110 thee? or who shall go aside H5493 to ask H7592 how thou doest? H7965§ [6] Thou hast forsaken H5203 me, saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 thou art gone H3212 backward: H268 therefore will I stretch out H5186 H853 my hand H3027 against H5921 thee, and destroy H7843 thee; I am weary H3811 with repenting. H5162 [7] And I will fan H2219 them with a fan H4214 in the gates H8179 of the land; H776 I will bereave H7921 them of children,§ I will destroy H6 H853 my people, H5971 since they return H7725 not H3808 from their ways. H1870 [8] Their widows H490 are increased H6105 to me above the sand H2344 of the seas: H3220 I have brought H935 upon them against the mother H517 of the young me§n H970 a spoiler H7703 at noonday: H6672 I have caused him to fall H5307 upon it suddenly, H6597 and terrors H928 upon the city. H5892 [9] She that hath borne H3205 seven H7651 languisheth: H535 she hath given up H5301 the ghost; H5315 her sun H8121 is gone H935 down while it was yet day: H3119 H3117 she hath been ashamed H954 and confounded: H2659 and the residue H7611 of them will I deliver H5414 to the sword H2719 before H6440 their enemies, H341 saith H5002 the Lord. H3068

The Prophet’s Lament

[10] Woe H188 is me, my mother, H517 that thou hast borne H3205 me a man H376 of strife H7379 and a man H376 of contention H4066 to the whole earth! H776 I have neither lent on usury, H5383 nor men have lent to me on usury; H5383 yet every one of them doth curse H7043 me. [11] The Lord H3068 said, H559 Verily H3808 H518 it shall be well H2896 with thy remnant; H8281 H8293 verily H518 H853 I will cause the enemy H341 to entreat H6293 thee well in the time H6256 of evil H7451 and in the time H6256 of affliction. H6869 [12] Shall iron H1270 break H7489 the northern H6828 iron H1270 and the steel? H5178 [13] Thy substance H2428 and thy treasures H214 will I give H5414 to the spoil H957 without price, H4242 and that for all thy sins, H2403 even in all thy borders. H1366 [14] And I will make thee to pass H5674 H853 with thine enemies H341 into a land H776 which thou knowest H3045 not: for a fire H784 is kindled H6919 in mine anger, H639 which shall burn H3344 upon you. [15] O Lord, H3068 thou knowest: H3045 remember H2142 me, and visit H6485 me, and revenge H5358 me of my persecutors; H7291 take me not away H3947 in thy longsuffering: H639 H750 know H3045 that for thy sake I have suffered H5375 rebuke. H2781 [16] Thy words H1697 were found, H4672 and I did eat H398 them; and thy word H1697 was unto me the joy H8342 and rejoicing H8057 of mine heart: H3824 for H3588 I am called H7121 by thy name, H8034 O Lord H3068 God H430 of hosts. H6635 [17] I sat H3427 not H3808 in the assembly H5475 of the mockers, H7832 nor rejoiced; H5937 I sat H3427 alone H910 because H6440 of thy hand: H3027 for H3588 thou hast filled H4390 me with indignation. H2195 [18] Why is my pain H3511 perpetual, H5331 and my wound H4347 incurable, H605 which refuseth H3985 to be healed? H7495 wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, H391 and as waters H4325 that fail? H539§ [19] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord, H3068 If thou return, H7725 then will I bring thee again, H7725 and thou shalt stand H5975 before H6440 me: and if thou take forth H3318 the precious H3368 from the vile, H2151 thou shalt be as my mouth: H6310 let them return H7725 unto H413 thee; but return H7725 not thou unto them. [20] And I will make H5414 thee unto this people H5971 a fenced H1219 brasen H5178 wall: H2346 and they shall fight H3898 against thee, but they shall not prevail H3201 against thee: for I am with thee to save H3467 thee and to deliver H5337 thee, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [21] And I will deliver H5337 thee out of the hand H3027 of the wicked, H7451 and I will redeem H6299 thee out of the hand H3709 of the terrible. H6184
