[1] “Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the middle of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem, for evil looks out from the north with a great destruction. [2] I will cut off the beautiful and delicate one, the daughter of Zion. [3] Shepherds with their flocks will come to her. They will pitch their tents against her all around. They will feed everyone in his place.” [4] “Prepare war against her! Arise! Let’s go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. [5] Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.” [6] For Yahweh of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is filled with oppression within herself. [7] As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me. [8] Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.” [9] Yahweh of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.” [10] To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can’t listen. Behold, Yahweh’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it. [11] Therefore I am full of Yahweh’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in.
“Pour it out on the children in the street,
and on the assembly of young men together;
for even the husband with the wife will be taken,
the aged with him who is full of days.
[12] Their houses will be turned to others,
their fields and their wives together;
for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.”
[13] “For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness.
From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
[14] They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially,
saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
[15] Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall.
When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says Yahweh. [16] Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ [17] I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’ [18] Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them. [19] Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it. [20] To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.” [21] Therefore Yahweh says, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together will stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend will perish.” [22] Yahweh says, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. [23] They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.” [24] We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor. [25] Don’t go out into the field or walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror are on every side. [26] Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us. [27] “I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way. [28] They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly. [29] The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away. [30] Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

[1] O ye childrenH1121 of Benjamin,H1144 gather yourselves to fleeH5756(HiphImpv) out of the midstH7130 of Jerusalem,H3389 and blowH8628(QalImpv) the trumpetH7782 in Tekoa,H8620 and set upH5375(QalImpv) a signH4864 of fire in Bethhaccerem:H1021 for evilH7451 appearethH8259(NiphPerf) out of the north,H6828 and greatH1419 destruction.H7667 [2] I have likenedH1820(QalPerf) the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 to a comelyH5116 and delicateH6026(PualPtc) [woman]. [3] The shepherdsH7462(QalActPtc) with their flocksH5739 shall comeH935(QalImpf) unto her; they shall pitchH8628(QalPerf) [their] tentsH168 against her round about;H5439 they shall feedH7462(QalPerf) every oneH376 in his place.H3027 [4] PrepareH6942(PielImpv) ye warH4421 against her; arise,H6965(QalImpv) and let us go upH5927(QalImpf) at noon.H6672 WoeH188 unto us! for the dayH3117 goeth away,H6437(QalPerf) for the shadowsH6752 of the eveningH6153 are stretched out.H5186(NiphImpf) [5] Arise,H6965(QalImpv) and let us goH5927(QalImpf) by night,H3915 and let us destroyH7843(HiphImpf) her palaces.H759 [6] For thus hath the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 said,H559(QalPerf) Hew ye downH3772(QalImpv) trees,H6097 and castH8210(QalImpv) a mountH5550 against Jerusalem:H3389 this [is] the cityH5892 to be visited;H6485(HophPerf) she [is] wholly oppressionH6233 in the midstH7130 of her. [7] As a fountainH953 casteth outH6979(HiphInf) her waters,H4325 so she casteth outH6979(HiphPerf) her wickedness:H7451 violenceH2555 and spoilH7701 is heardH8085(NiphImpf) in her; before meH6440 continuallyH8548 [is] griefH2483 and wounds.H4347 [8] Be thou instructed,H3256(NiphImpv) O Jerusalem,H3389 lest my soulH5315 departH3363(QalImpf) from thee; lest I makeH7760(QalImpf) thee desolate,H8077 a landH776 not inhabited.H3427(NiphPerf) [9] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 They shall throughlyH5953(PoelInf) gleanH5953(PoelImpf) the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 as a vine:H1612 turn backH7725(HiphImpv) thine handH3027 as a grapegathererH1219(QalActPtc) into the baskets.H5552 [10] To whom shall I speak,H1696(PielImpf) and give warning,H5749(HiphImpf) that they may hear?H8085(QalImpf) behold, their earH241 [is] uncircumcised,H6189 and they cannotH3201(QalImpf) hearken:H7181(HiphInf) behold, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 is unto them a reproach;H2781 they have no delightH2654(QalImpf) in it. [11] Therefore I am fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the Lord;H3068 I am wearyH3811(NiphPerf) with holding in:H3557(HiphInf) I will pour it outH8210(QalInf) upon the childrenH5768 abroad,H2351 and upon the assemblyH5475 of young menH970 together:H3162 for even the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be taken,H3920(NiphImpf) the agedH2205 with [him that is] fullH4390(QalPerf) of days.H3117 [12] And their housesH1004 shall be turnedH5437(NiphPerf) unto others,H312 [with their] fieldsH7704 and wivesH802 together:H3162 for I will stretch outH5186(HiphImpf) my handH3027 upon the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of the land,H776 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [13] For from the leastH6996 of them even unto the greatestH1419 of them every one [is] givenH1214(QalActPtc) to covetousness;H1215 and from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213(QalActPtc) falsely.H8267 [14] They have healedH7495(PielImpf) also the hurtH7667 [of the daughterH1323(Ketiv)] of my peopleH5971 slightly,H7043(NiphPerf) saying,H559(QalInf) Peace,H7965 peace;H7965 when [there is] no peace.H7965 [15] Were they ashamedH3001(HiphPerf) when they had committedH6213(QalPerf) abomination?H8441 nay,H1571 they were not at allH954(QalInf) ashamed,H954(QalImpf) neitherH1571 couldH3045(QalPerf) they blush:H3637(HiphInf) therefore they shall fallH5307(QalImpf) among them that fall:H5307(QalActPtc) at the timeH6256 [that] I visitH6485(QalPerf) them they shall be cast down,H3782(NiphImpf) saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord.H3068 [16] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 StandH5975(QalImpv) ye in the ways,H1870 and see,H7200(QalImpf) and askH7592(QalImpv) for the oldH5769 paths,H5410 where [is] the goodH2896 way,H1870 and walkH3212(QalImpf) therein, and ye shall findH4672(QalImpv) restH4771 for your souls.H5315 But they said,H559(QalImpf) We will not walkH3212(QalImpv) [therein]. [17] Also I setH6965(HiphPerf) watchmenH6822(QalActPtc) over you, [saying], HearkenH7181(HiphImpv) to the soundH6963 of the trumpet.H7782 But they said,H559(QalImpf) We will not hearken.H7181(HiphImpf) [18] Therefore hear,H8085(QalImpv) ye nations,H1471 and know,H3045(QalImpv) O congregation,H5712 what [is] among them. [19] Hear,H8085(QalImpv) O earth:H776 behold, I will bringH935(HiphPtc) evilH7451 upon this people,H5971 [even] the fruitH6529 of their thoughts,H4284 because they have not hearkenedH7181(HiphPerf) unto my words,H1697 nor to my law,H8451 but rejectedH3988(QalImpf) it. [20] To what purpose comethH935(QalImpf) there to me incenseH3828 from Sheba,H7614 and the sweetH2896 caneH7070 from a farH4801 country?H776 your burnt offeringsH5930 [are] not acceptable,H7522 nor your sacrificesH2077 sweetH6149(QalPerf) unto me. [21] Therefore thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 Behold, I will layH5414(QalActPtc) stumblingblocksH4383 before this people,H5971 and the fathersH1 and the sonsH1121 togetherH3162 shall fallH3782(QalPerf) upon them; the neighbourH7934 and his friendH7453 shall perish.H6(QalPerf) [22] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 Behold, a peopleH5971 comethH935(QalActPtc) from the northH6828 country,H776 and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be raisedH5782(NiphImpf) from the sidesH3411 of the earth.H776 [23] They shall lay holdH2388(HiphImpf) on bowH7198 and spear;H3591 they [are] cruel,H394 and have no mercy;H7355(PielImpf) their voiceH6963 roarethH1993(QalImpf) like the sea;H3220 and they rideH7392(QalImpf) upon horses,H5483 set in arrayH6186(QalPasPtc) as menH376 for warH4421 against thee, O daughterH1323 of Zion.H6726 [24] We have heardH8085(QalPerf) the fameH8089 thereof: our handsH3027 wax feeble:H7503(QalPerf) anguishH6869 hath taken holdH2388(HiphPerf) of us, [and] pain,H2427 as of a woman in travail.H3205(QalActPtc) [25] Go not forthH3318(QalImpf) into the field,H7704 nor walkH3212(QalImpf) by the way;H1870 for the swordH2719 of the enemyH341(QalActPtc) [and] fearH4032 [is] on every side.H5439 [26] O daughterH1323 of my people,H5971 girdH2296(QalImpv) [thee] with sackcloth,H8242 and wallowH6428(HithImpv) thyself in ashes:H665 makeH6213(QalImpv) thee mourning,H60 [as for] an only son,H3173 most bitterH8563 lamentation:H4553 for the spoilerH7703(QalActPtc) shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935(QalImpf) upon us. [27] I have setH5414(QalPerf) thee [for] a towerH969 [and] a fortressH4013 among my people,H5971 that thou mayest knowH3045(QalImpf) and tryH974(QalPerf) their way.H1870 [28] They [are] all grievousH5493(QalActPtc) revolters,H5637(QalActPtc) walkingH1980(QalActPtc) with slanders:H7400 [they are] brassH5178 and iron;H1270 they [are] all corrupters.H7843(HiphPtc) [29] The bellowsH4647 are burned,H2787(NiphPerf) the leadH5777 is consumedH8552(QalPerf) of the fire;H800 the founderH6884(QalInf) meltethH6884(QalPerf) in vain:H7723 for the wickedH7451 are not plucked away.H5423(NiphPerf) [30] ReprobateH3988(NiphPtc) silverH3701 shall [men] callH7121(QalPerf) them, because the LordH3068 hath rejectedH3988(QalPerf) them.
