[1] “At that time,” says Yahweh, “they will bring the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of his princes, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves. [2] They will spread them before the sun, the moon, and all the army of the sky, which they have loved, which they have served, after which they have walked, which they have sought, and which they have worshiped. They will not be gathered or be buried. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth. [3] Death will be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them,” says Yahweh of Armies. [4] “Moreover you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says:
“ ‘Do men fall, and not rise up again?
Does one turn away, and not return?
[5] Why then have the people of Jerusalem fallen back by a perpetual backsliding?
They cling to deceit.
They refuse to return.
[6] I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right.
No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?”
Everyone turns to his course,
as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
[7] Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times.
The turtledove, the swallow, and the crane observe the time of their coming;
but my people don’t know Yahweh’s law. [8] “ ‘How do you say, “We are wise, and Yahweh’s law is with us”?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made that a lie.
[9] The wise men are disappointed.
They are dismayed and trapped.
Behold, they have rejected Yahweh’s word.
What kind of wisdom is in them?
[10] Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to those who will possess them.
For everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness;
from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
[11] They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying,
“Peace, peace,” when there is no peace.
[12] Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed.
They couldn’t blush.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall.
In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh. [13] “ ‘I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh.
No grapes will be on the vine,
no figs on the fig tree,
and the leaf will fade.
The things that I have given them
will pass away from them.’ ” [14] “Why do we sit still?
Assemble yourselves!
Let’s enter into the fortified cities,
and let’s be silent there;
for Yahweh our God has put us to silence,
and given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against Yahweh.
[15] We looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
[16] The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan.
The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones;
for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it,
the city and those who dwell therein.”
[17] “For, behold, I will send serpents,
adders among you,
which will not be charmed;
and they will bite you,” says Yahweh.
[18] Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow!
My heart is faint within me.
[19] Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off:
“Isn’t Yahweh in Zion?
Isn’t her King in her?”“Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images,
and with foreign idols?” [20] “The harvest is past.
The summer has ended,
and we are not saved.” [21] For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt.
I mourn.
Dismay has taken hold of me.
[22] Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then isn’t the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

[1] At that time,H6256 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 they shall bring outH3318(HiphImpf) the bonesH6106 of the kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 and the bonesH6106 of his princes,H8269 and the bonesH6106 of the priests,H3548 and the bonesH6106 of the prophets,H5030 and the bonesH6106 of the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of Jerusalem,H3389 out of their graves:H6913 [2] And they shall spreadH7849(QalPerf) them before the sun,H8121 and the moon,H3394 and all the hostH6635 of heaven,H8064 whom they have loved,H157(QalPerf) and whom they have served,H5647(QalPerf) and afterH310 whom they have walked,H1980(QalPerf) and whom they have sought,H1875(QalPerf) and whom they have worshipped:H7812(HithPerf) they shall not be gathered,H622(NiphImpf) nor be buried;H6912(NiphImpf) they shall be for dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the earth.H127 [3] And deathH4194 shall be chosenH977(NiphPerf) rather than lifeH2416 by all the residueH7611 of them that remainH7604(NiphPtc) of this evilH7451 family,H4940 which remainH7604(NiphPtc) in all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080(HiphPerf) them, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH3068 of hosts.H6635 [4] Moreover thou shalt sayH559(QalPerf) unto them, Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 Shall they fall,H5307(QalImpf) and not arise?H6965(QalImpf) shall he turn away,H7725(QalImpf) and not return?H7725(QalImpf) [5] Why [then] is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725(PolePerf) by a perpetualH5329(NiphPtc) backsliding?H4878 they holdH2388(HiphPerf) fast deceit,H8649 they refuseH3985(PielPerf) to return.H7725(QalInf) [6] I hearkenedH7181(HiphPerf) and heard,H8085(QalImpf) [but] they spake not aright:H1696(PielImpf) no manH376 repentedH5162(NiphPtc) him ofH5921 his wickedness,H7451 saying,H559(QalInf) What have I done?H6213(QalPerf) every one turnedH7725(QalPerf) to his course,H4794 as the horseH5483 rushethH7857(QalActPtc) into the battle.H4421 [7] Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavenH8064 knowethH3045(QalPerf) her appointed times;H4150 and the turtleH8449 and the craneH5483 and the swallowH5693 observeH8104(QalPerf) the timeH6256 of their coming;H935(QalInf) but my peopleH5971 knowH3045(QalPerf) not the judgmentH4941 of the Lord.H3068 [8] How do ye say,H559(QalImpf) We [are] wise,H2450 and the lawH8451 of the LordH3068 [is] with us? Lo, certainlyH403 in vainH8267 madeH6213(QalPerf) he [it]; the penH5842 of the scribesH5608(QalActPtc) [is] in vain.H8267 [9] The wiseH2450 [men] are ashamed,H3001(HiphPerf) they are dismayedH2865(QalPerf) and taken:H3920(NiphImpf) lo, they have rejectedH3988(QalPerf) the wordH1697 of the Lord;H3068 and what wisdomH2451 [is] in them? [10] Therefore will I giveH5414(QalImpf) their wivesH802 unto others,H312 [and] their fieldsH7704 to them that shall inheritH3423(QalActPtc) [them]: for every one from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419 is givenH1214(QalActPtc) to covetousness,H1215 from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213(QalActPtc) falsely.H8267 [11] For they have healedH7495(PielImpf) the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightly,H7043(NiphPerf) saying,H559(QalInf) Peace,H7965 peace;H7965 when [there is] no peace.H7965 [12] Were they ashamedH3001(HiphPerf) when they had committedH6213(QalPerf) abomination?H8441 nay, they were not at allH954(QalInf) ashamed,H954(QalImpf) neither couldH3045(QalPerf) they blush:H3637(NiphInf) therefore shall they fallH5307(QalImpf) among them that fall:H5307(QalActPtc) in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall be cast down,H3782(NiphImpf) saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord.H3068 [13] I will surelyH622(QalInf) consumeH5486(HiphImpf) them, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 [there shall be] no grapesH6025 on the vine,H1612 nor figsH8384 on the fig tree,H8384 and the leafH5929 shall fade;H5034(QalPerf) and [the things that] I have givenH5414(QalImpf) them shall pass awayH5674(QalImpf) from them. [14] Why do we sit still?H3427(QalActPtc) assembleH622(NiphImpv) yourselves, and let us enterH935(QalImpf) into the defencedH4013 cities,H5892 and let us be silentH1826(NiphImpf) there: for the LordH3068 our GodH430 hath put us to silence,H1826(HiphPerf) and given us waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drink,H8248(HiphImpf) because we have sinnedH2398(QalPerf) against the Lord.H3068 [15] We lookedH6960(PielInf) for peace,H7965 but no goodH2896 [came; and] for a timeH6256 of health,H4832 and behold trouble!H1205 [16] The snortingH5170 of his horsesH5483 was heardH8085(NiphPerf) from Dan:H1835 the whole landH776 trembledH7493(QalPerf) at the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his strong ones;H47 for they are come,H935(QalImpf) and have devouredH398(QalImpf) the land,H776 and allH4393 that is in it; the city,H5892 and those that dwellH3427(QalActPtc) therein. [17] For, behold, I will sendH7971(PielPtc) serpents,H5175 cockatrices,H6848 among you, which [will] not [be] charmed,H3908 and they shall biteH5391(PielPerf) you, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [18] [When] I would comfortH4010 myself against sorrow,H3015 my heartH3820 [is] faintH1742 in me. [19] Behold the voiceH6963 of the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 because of them that dwell in a farH4801 country:H776 [Is] not the LordH3068 in Zion?H6726 [is] not her kingH4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to angerH3707(HiphPerf) with their graven images,H6456 [and] with strangeH5236 vanities?H1892 [20] The harvestH7105 is past,H5674(QalPerf) the summerH7019 is ended,H3615(QalPerf) and we are not saved.H3467(NiphPerf) [21] For the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 am I hurt;H7665(HophPerf) I am black;H6937(QalPerf) astonishmentH8047 hath taken holdH2388(HiphPerf) on me. [22] [Is there] no balmH6875 in Gilead;H1568 [is there] no physicianH7495(QalActPtc) there? why thenH3588 is not the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 recovered?H5927(QalPerf)
