 | 4:1 | Hear8085 the word1697 of Yahweh,3068 ye children1121 of Israel:3478 for Yahweh3068 hath a controversy7379 with the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 because there is no truth,571 nor mercy,2617 nor knowledge1847 of Elohim430 in the land.776 |
| 4:2 | By swearing,422 and lying,3584 and killing,7523 and stealing,1589 and committing adultery,5003 they break out,6555 and blood1818 toucheth5060 blood.1818 |
| 4:3 | Therefore shall the land776 mourn,56 and every one that dwelleth3427 therein shall languish,535 with the beasts2416 of the field,7704 and with the fowls5775 of heaven;8064 yea, the fishes1709 of the sea3220 also shall be taken away.622 |
| 4:4 | Yet let no man376 strive,7378 nor reprove3198 another:376 for thy people5971 are as they that strive7378 with the priest.3548 |
| 4:5 | Therefore shalt thou fall3782 in the day,3117 and the prophet5030 also shall fall3782 with thee in the night,3915 and I will destroy1820 thy mother.517 |
| 4:6 | My people5971 are destroyed1820 for lack of knowledge:1847 because thou hast rejected3988 knowledge,1847 I will also reject3988 thee, that thou shalt be no priest3547 to me: seeing thou hast forgotten7911 the law8451 of thy Elohim,430 I will also forget7911 thy children.1121 |
| 4:7 | As they were increased,7230 so they sinned2398 against me: therefore will I change4171 their glory3519 into shame.7036 |
| 4:8 | They eat398 up the sin2403 of my people,5971 and they set5375 their heart5315 on their iniquity.5771 |
| 4:9 | And there shall be, like people,5971 like priest:3548 and I will punish6485 them for their ways,1870 and reward7725 them their doings.4611 |
| 4:10 | For they shall eat,398 and not have enough:7646 they shall commit whoredom,2181 and shall not increase:6555 because they have left off5800 to take heed8104 to Yahweh.3068 |
| 4:11 | Whoredom2184 and wine3196 and new wine8492 take away3947 the heart.3820 |
| 4:12 | My people5971 ask7592 counsel at their stocks,6086 and their staff4731 declareth5046 unto them: for the spirit7307 of whoredoms2183 hath caused them to err,8582 and they have gone a whoring2181 from under their Elohim.430 |
| 4:13 | They sacrifice2076 upon the tops7218 of the mountains,2022 and burn incense6999 upon the hills,1389 under oaks437 and poplars3839 and elms,424 because the shadow6738 thereof is good:2896 therefore your daughters1323 shall commit whoredom,2181 and your spouses3618 shall commit adultery.5003 |
| 4:14 | I will not punish6485 your daughters1323 when they commit whoredom,2181 nor your spouses3618 when they commit adultery:5003 for themselves are separated6504 with whores,2181 and they sacrifice2076 with harlots:6948 therefore the people5971 that doth not understand995 shall fall.3832 |
| 4:15 | Though thou, Israel,3478 play the harlot,2181 yet let not Judah3063 offend;816 and come935 not ye unto Gilgal,1537 neither go ye up5927 to Bethaven,1007 nor swear,7650 Yahweh3068 liveth.2416 |
| 4:16 | For Israel3478 slideth back5637 as a backsliding5637 heifer:6510 now Yahweh3068 will feed7462 them as a lamb3532 in a large place.4800 |
| 4:17 | |
| 4:18 | Their drink5435 is sour:5493 they have committed whoredom2181 continually:2181 her rulers4043 with shame7036 do love,157 Give3051 ye. |
| 4:19 | The wind7307 hath bound her up6887 in her wings,3671 and they shall be ashamed954 because of their sacrifices.2077 |
