[1] “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron,
and with the point of a diamond.
It is engraved on the tablet of their heart,
and on the horns of your altars.
[2] Even their children remember their altars
and their Asherah poles by the green trees on the high hills.
[3] My mountain in the field,
I will give your substance and all your treasures for a plunder,
and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
[4] You, even of yourself, will discontinue from your heritage that I gave you.
I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know,
for you have kindled a fire in my anger which will burn forever.” [5] Yahweh says:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man,
relies on strength of flesh,
and whose heart departs from Yahweh.
[6] For he will be like a bush in the desert,
and will not see when good comes,
but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
an uninhabited salt land. [7] “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh,
and whose confidence is in Yahweh.
[8] For he will be as a tree planted by the waters,
who spreads out its roots by the river,
and will not fear when heat comes,
but its leaf will be green,
and will not be concerned in the year of drought.
It won’t cease from yielding fruit.
[9] The heart is deceitful above all things
and it is exceedingly corrupt.
Who can know it? [10] “I, Yahweh, search the mind.
I try the heart,
even to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his doings.” [11] As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid,
so is he who gets riches, and not by right.
In the middle of his days, they will leave him.
At his end, he will be a fool.
[12] A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
[13] Yahweh, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you will be disappointed.
Those who depart from me will be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken Yahweh,
the spring of living waters.
[14] Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed.
Save me, and I will be saved;
for you are my praise.
[15] Behold, they ask me,
“Where is Yahweh’s word?
Let it be fulfilled now.”
[16] As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you.
I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know.
That which came out of my lips was before your face.
[17] Don’t be a terror to me.
You are my refuge in the day of evil.
[18] Let them be disappointed who persecute me,
but don’t let me be disappointed.
Let them be dismayed,
but don’t let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of evil,
and destroy them with double destruction. [19] Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem. [20] Tell them, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, you kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates: [21] Yahweh says, “Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. [22] Don’t carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day. Don’t do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers. [23] But they didn’t listen. They didn’t turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction. [24] It will happen, if you diligently listen to me,” says Yahweh, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein; [25] then there will enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city will remain forever. [26] They will come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the lowland, from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving to Yahweh’s house. [27] But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem. It will not be quenched.” ’ ”

King James Version
[1] The sinH2403 of JudahH3063 [is] writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) with a penH5842 of iron,H1270 [and] with the pointH6856 of a diamond:H8068 [it is] gravenH2790(QalPasPtc) upon the tableH3871 of their heart,H3820 and upon the hornsH7161 of your altars;H4196 [2] Whilst their childrenH1121 rememberH2142(QalInf) their altarsH4196 and their grovesH842 by the greenH7488 treesH6086 upon the highH1364 hills.H1389 [3] O my mountainH2042 in the field,H7704 I will giveH5414(QalImpf) thy substanceH2428 [and] all thy treasuresH214 to the spoil,H957 [and] thy high placesH1116 for sin,H2403 throughout all thy borders.H1366 [4] And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinueH8058(QalPerf) from thine heritageH5159 that I gaveH5414(QalPerf) thee; and I will cause thee to serveH5647(HiphPerf) thine enemiesH341(QalActPtc) in the landH776 which thou knowestH3045(QalPerf) not: for ye have kindledH6919(QalPerf) a fireH784 in mine anger,H639 [which] shall burnH3344(HophImpf) forH5704 ever.H5769 [5] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 CursedH779(QalPasPtc) [be] the manH1397 that trustethH982(QalImpf) in man,H120 and makethH7760(QalPerf) fleshH1320 his arm,H2220 and whose heartH3820 departethH5493(QalImpf) from the Lord.H3068 [6] For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desert,H6160 and shall not seeH7200(QalImpf) when goodH2896 cometh;H935(QalImpf) but shall inhabitH7931(QalPerf) the parched placesH2788 in the wilderness,H4057 [in] a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabited.H3427(QalImpf) [7] BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [is] the manH1397 that trustethH982(QalImpf) in the Lord,H3068 and whose hopeH4009 the LordH3068 is. [8] For he shall be as a treeH6086 plantedH8362(QalPasPtc) by the waters,H4325 and [that] spreadeth outH7971(PielImpf) her rootsH8328 by the river,H3105 and shall not seeH7200(QalImpf) when heatH2527 cometh,H935(QalImpf) but her leafH5929 shall be green;H7488 and shall not be carefulH1672(QalImpf) in the yearH8141 of drought,H1226 neither shall ceaseH4185(HiphImpf) from yieldingH6213(QalInf) fruit.H6529 [9] The heartH3820 [is] deceitfulH6121 above all [things], and desperately wicked:H605(QalPasPtc) who can knowH3045(QalImpf) it? [10] I the LordH3068 searchH2713(QalActPtc) the heart,H3820 [I] tryH974(QalActPtc) the reins,H3629 even to giveH5414(QalInf) every manH376 according to his ways,H1870 [and] according to the fruitH6529 of his doings.H4611 [11] [As] the partridgeH7124 sittethH1716(QalPerf) [on eggs], and hatchethH3205(QalPerf) [them] not; [so] he that gettethH6213(QalActPtc) riches,H6239 and not by right,H4941 shall leaveH5800(QalImpf) them in the midstH2677 of his days,H3117 and at his endH319 shall be a fool.H5036 [12] A gloriousH3519 highH4791 throneH3678 from the beginningH7223 [is] the placeH4725 of our sanctuary.H4720 [13] O Lord,H3068 the hopeH4723 of Israel,H3478 all that forsakeH5800(QalActPtc) thee shall be ashamed,H954(QalImpf) [and] they that departH3249 from meH5493(QalPasPtc) shall be writtenH3789(NiphImpf) in the earth,H776 because they have forsakenH5800(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 waters.H4325 [14] HealH7495(QalImpv) me, O Lord,H3068 and I shall be healed;H7495(NiphImpf) saveH3467(HiphImpv) me, and I shall be saved:H3467(NiphImpf) for thou [art] my praise.H8416 [15] Behold, they sayH559(QalActPtc) unto me, Where [is] the wordH1697 of the Lord?H3068 let it comeH935(QalImpf) now. [16] As for me, I have not hastenedH213(QalPerf) from [being] a pastorH7462(QalActPtc) to followH310 thee: neither have I desiredH183(HithPerf) the woefulH605(QalPasPtc) day;H3117 thou knowest:H3045(QalPerf) that which came outH4161 of my lipsH8193 was [right] beforeH5227 thee.H6440 [17] Be not a terrorH4288 unto me: thou [art] my hopeH4268 in the dayH3117 of evil.H7451 [18] Let them be confoundedH954(QalImpf) that persecuteH7291(QalActPtc) me, but let not me be confounded:H954(QalImpf) let them be dismayed,H2865(NiphImpf) but let not me be dismayed:H2865(NiphImpf) bringH935(HiphInf) upon them the dayH3117 of evil,H7451 and destroyH7665(QalImpv) them with doubleH4932 destruction.H7670 [19] Thus saidH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 unto me; GoH1980(QalInf) and standH5975(QalPerf) in the gateH8179 of the childrenH1121 of the people,H5971 whereby the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 come in,H935(QalImpf) and by the which they go out,H3318(QalImpf) and in all the gatesH8179 of Jerusalem;H3389 [20] And sayH559(QalPerf) unto them, HearH8085(QalImpv) ye the wordH1697 of the Lord,H3068 ye kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 and all Judah,H3063 and all the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Jerusalem,H3389 that enter inH935(QalActPtc) by these gates:H8179 [21] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 Take heedH8104(NiphImpv) to yourselves,H5315 and bearH5375(QalImpf) no burdenH4853 on the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 nor bringH935(HiphPerf) [it] in by the gatesH8179 of Jerusalem;H3389 [22] Neither carry forthH3318(HiphImpf) a burdenH4853 out of your housesH1004 on the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 neither doH6213(QalImpf) ye any work,H4399 but hallowH6942(PielPerf) ye the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 as I commandedH6680(PielPerf) your fathers.H1 [23] But they obeyedH8085(QalPerf) not, neither inclinedH5186(HiphPerf) their ear,H241 but made their neckH6203 stiff,H7185(HiphImpf) that they might not hear,H8085(QalInf) nor receiveH3947(QalInf) instruction.H4148 [24] And it shall come to pass, if ye diligentlyH8085(QalInf) hearkenH8085(QalImpf) unto me, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 to bringH935(HiphInf) in no burdenH4853 through the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 on the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 but hallowH6942(PielInf) the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 to doH6213(QalInf) noH1115 workH4399 therein; [25] Then shall there enterH935(QalPerf) into the gatesH8179 of this cityH5892 kingsH4428 and princesH8269 sittingH3427(QalActPtc) upon the throneH3678 of David,H1732 ridingH7392(QalActPtc) in chariotsH7393 and on horses,H5483 they, and their princes,H8269 the menH376 of Judah,H3063 and the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Jerusalem:H3389 and this cityH5892 shall remainH3427(QalPerf) for ever.H5769 [26] And they shall comeH935(QalPerf) from the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 and from the places aboutH5439 Jerusalem,H3389 and from the landH776 of Benjamin,H1144 and from the plain,H8219 and from the mountains,H2022 and from the south,H5045 bringingH935(HiphPtc) burnt offerings,H5930 and sacrifices,H2077 and meat offerings,H4503 and incense,H3828 and bringingH935(HiphPtc) sacrifices of praise,H8426 unto the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 [27] But if ye will not hearkenH8085(QalImpf) unto me to hallowH6942(PielInf) the sabbathH7676 day,H3117 and not to bearH5375(QalInf) a burden,H4853 even entering inH935(QalInf) at the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 day;H3117 then will I kindleH3341(HiphPerf) a fireH784 in the gatesH8179 thereof, and it shall devourH398(QalPerf) the palacesH759 of Jerusalem,H3389 and it shall not be quenched.H3518(QalImpf)
