 | 5:1 | Hear8085 ye this word1697 which I take up5375 against you, even a lamentation,7015 O house1004 of Israel.3478 |
| 5:2 | The virgin1330 of Israel3478 is fallen;5307 she shall no more3254 rise:6965 she is forsaken5203 upon her land;127 there is none to raise her up.6965 |
| 5:3 | For thus saith559 my Sovereign136 Yahweh;3069 The city5892 that went out3318 by a thousand505 shall leave7604 an hundred,3967 and that which went forth3318 by an hundred3967 shall leave7604 ten,6235 to the house1004 of Israel.3478 |
| 5:4 | For thus saith559 Yahweh3068 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 Seek1875 ye me, and ye shall live:2421 |
| 5:5 | But seek1875 not Bethel,1008 nor enter935 into Gilgal,1537 and pass5674 not to Beersheba:884 for Gilgal1537 shall surely1540 go into captivity,1540 and Bethel1008 shall come to nought.205 |
| 5:6 | Seek1875 Yahweh,3068 and ye shall live;2421 lest he break out6743 like fire784 in the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and devour398 it, and there be none to quench3518 it in Bethel.1008 |
| 5:7 | Ye who turn2015 judgment4941 to wormwood,3939 and leave off3240 righteousness6666 in the earth,776 |
| 5:8 | Seek him that maketh6213 the seven stars3598 and Orion,3685 and turneth2015 the shadow of death6757 into the morning,1242 and maketh the day3117 dark2821 with night:3915 that calleth7121 for the waters4325 of the sea,3220 and poureth them out8210 upon the face6440 of the earth:776 Yahweh3068 is his name:8034 |
| 5:9 | That strengtheneth1082 the spoiled7701 against the strong,5794 so that the spoiled7701 shall come935 against the fortress.4013 |
| 5:10 | They hate8130 him that rebuketh3198 in the gate,8179 and they abhor8581 him that speaketh1696 uprightly.8549 |
| 5:11 | Forasmuch3282 therefore as your treading1318 is upon the poor,1800 and ye take3947 from him burdens4864 of wheat:1250 ye have built1129 houses1004 of hewn stone,1496 but ye shall not dwell3427 in them; ye have planted5193 pleasant2531 vineyards,3754 but ye shall not drink8354 wine3196 of them. |
| 5:12 | For I know3045 your manifold7227 transgressions6588 and your mighty6099 sins:2403 they afflict6887 the just,6662 they take3947 a bribe,3724 and they turn aside5186 the poor34 in the gate8179 from their right. |
| 5:13 | Therefore the prudent7919 shall keep silence1826 in that time;6256 for it is an evil7451 time.6256 |
| 5:14 | Seek1875 good,2896 and not evil,7451 that ye may live:2421 and so Yahweh,3068 the Elohim430 of hosts,6635 shall be with you, as ye have spoken.559 |
| 5:15 | Hate8130 the evil,7451 and love157 the good,2896 and establish3322 judgment4941 in the gate:8179 it may be that Yahweh3068 Elohim430 of hosts6635 will be gracious2603 unto the remnant7611 of Joseph.3130 |
| 5:16 | Therefore Yahweh,3068 the Elohim430 of hosts,6635 Yahweh,3068 saith559 thus; Wailing4553 shall be in all streets;7339 and they shall say559 in all the highways,2351 Alas!1930 alas!1930 and they shall call7121 the husbandman406 to mourning,60 and such as are skilful3045 of lamentation5092 to wailing.4553 |
| 5:17 | And in all vineyards3754 shall be wailing:4553 for I will pass5674 through7130 thee, saith559 Yahweh.3068 |
| 5:18 | Woe1945 unto you that desire183 the day3117 of Yahweh!3068 to what end4100 is it for you? the day3117 of Yahweh3068 is darkness,2822 and not light.216 |
| 5:19 | As if a man376 did flee5127 from6440 a lion,738 and a bear1677 met6293 him; or went935 into the house,1004 and leaned5564 his hand3027 on the wall,7023 and a serpent5175 bit5391 him. |
| 5:20 | Shall not the day3117 of Yahweh3068 be darkness,2822 and not light?216 even very dark,651 and no brightness5051 in it? |
| 5:21 | I hate,8130 I despise3988 your feast days,2282 and I will not smell7306 in your solemn assemblies.6116 |
| 5:22 | Though ye offer5927 me burnt offerings5930 and your meat offerings,4503 I will not accept7521 them: neither will I regard5027 the peace offerings8002 of your fat beasts.4806 |
| 5:23 | Take thou away5493 from me the noise1995 of thy songs;7892 for I will not hear8085 the melody2172 of thy viols.5035 |
| 5:24 | But let judgment4941 run down1556 as waters,4325 and righteousness6666 as a mighty386 stream.5158 |
| 5:25 | Have ye offered5066 unto me sacrifices2077 and offerings4503 in the wilderness4057 forty705 years,8141 O house1004 of Israel?3478 |
| 5:26 | But ye have borne5375 the tabernacle5522 of your Moloch4428 and Chiun3594 your images,6754 the star3556 of your Elohim,430 which ye made6213 to yourselves. |
| 5:27 | Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity1540 beyond1973 Damascus,1834 saith559 Yahweh,3068 whose name8034 is The Elohim430 of hosts.6635 |
