2:6 Neither said0559 they, Where {is} the LORD3068 that brought us up5927 out of the land0776 of Egypt4714, that led3212 us through the wilderness4057, through a land0776 of deserts6160 and of pits7745, through a land0776 of drought6723, and of the shadow of death6757, through a land0776 that no man0376 passed through5674, and where no man0120 dwelt3427? 2:7 And I brought0935 you into a plentiful3759 country0776, to eat0398 the fruit6529 thereof and the goodness2898 thereof; but when ye entered0935, ye defiled2930 my land0776, and made7760 mine heritage5159 an abomination8441. 2:8 The priests3548 said0559 not, Where {is} the LORD3068? and they that handle8610 the law8451 knew3045 me not: the pastors7462 also transgressed6586 against me, and the prophets5030 prophesied5012 by Baal1168, and walked1980 after0310 {things that} do not profit3276. 2:9 Wherefore I will yet plead7378 with you, saith5002 the LORD3068, and with your children's1121 children1121 will I plead7378. 2:10 For pass over5674 the isles0339 of Chittim3794, and see7200; and send7971 unto Kedar6938, and consider0995 diligently3966, and see7200 if there be such a thing. 2:11 Hath a nation1471 changed3235 {their} gods0430, which {are} yet no gods0430? but my people5971 have changed4171 their glory3519 for {that which} doth not profit3276. 2:12 Be astonished8074, O ye heavens8064, at this, and be horribly afraid8175, be ye very3966 desolate2717, saith5002 the LORD3068. 2:13 For my people5971 have committed6213 two8147 evils7451; they have forsaken5800 me the fountain4726 of living2416 waters4325, {and} hewed them out2672 cisterns0877, broken7665 cisterns0877, that can hold3557 no water4325. 2:14 {Is} Israel3478 a servant5650? {is} he a homeborn1004-3211 {slave}? why4069 is he spoiled0957? 2:15 The young lions3715 roared7580 upon him, {and} yelled5414-6963, and they made7896 his land0776 waste8047: his cities5892 are burned3341 without inhabitant3427. 2:16 Also the children1121 of Noph5297 and Tahapanes8471 have broken7462 the crown of thy head6936. 2:17 Hast thou not procured6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken5800 the LORD3068 thy God0430, when6256 he led3212 thee by the way1870? 2:18 And now what hast thou to do in the way1870 of Egypt4714, to drink8354 the waters4325 of Sihor7883? or what hast thou to do in the way1870 of Assyria0804, to drink8354 the waters4325 of the river5104? 2:19 Thine own wickedness7451 shall correct3256 thee, and thy backslidings4878 shall reprove3198 thee: know3045 therefore and see7200 that {it is} an evil7451 {thing} and bitter4751, that thou hast forsaken5800 the LORD3068 thy God0430, and that my fear6345 {is} not in thee, saith5002 the Lord0136 GOD3069 of hosts6635. 2:20 For of old time5769 I have broken7665 thy yoke5923, {and} burst5423 thy bands4147; and thou saidst0559, I will not transgress5674-5647; when upon every high1364 hill1389 and under every green7488 tree6086 thou wanderest6808, playing the harlot2181. 2:21 Yet I had planted5193 thee a noble vine8321, wholly a right0571 seed2233: how then art thou turned2015 into the degenerate plant5494 of a strange5237 vine1612 unto me? 2:22 For though thou wash3526 thee with nitre5427, and take thee much7235 soap1287, {yet} thine iniquity5771 is marked3799 before6440 me, saith5002 the Lord0136 GOD3069. 2:23 How canst thou say0559, I am not polluted2930, I have not gone1980 after0310 Baalim1168? see7200 thy way1870 in the valley1516, know3045 what thou hast done6213: {thou art} a swift7031 dromedary1072 traversing8308 her ways1870; 2:24 A wild ass6501 used3928 to the wilderness4057, {that} snuffeth up7602 the wind7307 at her pleasure0185-5315; in her occasion8385 who can turn her away7725? all they that seek1245 her will not weary3286 themselves; in her month2320 they shall find4672 her. 2:25 Withhold4513 thy foot7272 from being unshod3182, and thy throat1627 from thirst6773: but thou saidst0559, There is no hope2976: no; for I have loved0157 strangers2114, and after0310 them will I go3212. 2:26 As the thief1590 is ashamed1322 when he is found4672, so is the house1004 of Israel3478 ashamed3001; they, their kings4428, their princes8269, and their priests3548, and their prophets5030, 2:27 Saying0559 to a stock6086, Thou {art} my father0001; and to a stone0068, Thou hast brought me forth3205: for they have turned6437 {their} back6203 unto me, and not {their} face6440: but in the time6256 of their trouble7451 they will say0559, Arise6965, and save3467 us. 2:28 But where {are} thy gods0430 that thou hast made6213 thee? let them arise6965, if they can save3467 thee in the time6256 of thy trouble7451: for {according to} the number4557 of thy cities5892 are thy gods0430, O Judah3063. 2:29 Wherefore will ye plead7378 with me? ye all have transgressed6586 against me, saith5002 the LORD3068. 2:30 In vain7723 have I smitten5221 your children1121; they received3947 no correction4148: your own sword2719 hath devoured0398 your prophets5030, like a destroying7843 lion0738. 2:31 O generation1755, see7200 ye the word1697 of the LORD3068. Have I been a wilderness4057 unto Israel3478? a land0776 of darkness3991? wherefore say0559 my people5971, We are lords7300; we will come0935 no more unto thee? 2:32 Can a maid1330 forget7911 her ornaments5716, {or} a bride3618 her attire7196? yet my people5971 have forgotten7911 me days3117 without number4557. 2:33 Why trimmest3190 thou thy way1870 to seek1245 love0160? therefore hast thou also taught3925 the wicked ones7451 thy ways1870. 2:34 Also in thy skirts3671 is found4672 the blood1818 of the souls5315 of the poor0034 innocents5355: I have not found4672 it by secret search4290, but upon all these. 2:35 Yet thou sayest0559, Because I am innocent5352, surely his anger0639 shall turn7725 from me. Behold, I will plead8199 with thee, because thou sayest0559, I have not sinned2398. 2:36 Why gaddest thou about0235 so much3966 to change8138 thy way1870? thou also shalt be ashamed0954 of Egypt4714, as thou wast ashamed0954 of Assyria0804. 2:37 Yea, thou shalt go forth3318 from him, and thine hands3027 upon thine head7218: for the LORD3068 hath rejected3988 thy confidences4009, and thou shalt not prosper6743 in them.
