: Jeremiah 1
: 1 . The words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah > , of the priests <3548 kohen > that [ were ] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > in the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn > :
: 2 To whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > in the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526 >Amown > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , in the thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak > .
: 3 It came <1961 hayah > also in the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , unto the end <8537 tom > of the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , unto the carrying <1540 galah > away of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > captive <1540 galah > in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month <2320 chodesh > .
: 4 . Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me , saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 5 Before <2962 terem > I formed <3335 yatsar > thee in the belly <0990 beten > I knew <3045 yada< > thee ; and before <2962 terem > thou camest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the womb <7358 rechem > I sanctified <6942 qadash > thee , [ and ] I ordained <5414 nathan > thee a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto the nations <1471 gowy > .
: 6 Then said <0559 >amar > I , Ah <0162 >ahahh > , Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ! behold <2009 hinneh > , I cannot <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > : for I [ am ] a child <5288 na<ar > .
: 7 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me , Say <0559 >amar > not , I [ am ] a child <5288 na<ar > : for thou shalt go <3212 yalak > to all <3605 kol > that I shall send <7971 shalach > thee , and whatsoever I command <6680 tsavah > thee thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > .
: 8 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their faces <6440 paniym > : for I [ am ] with thee to deliver <5337 natsal > thee , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 9 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand <3027 yad > , and touched <5060 naga< > my mouth <6310 peh > . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me , Behold <2009 hinneh > , I have put <5414 nathan > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh > .
: 10 See <7200 ra>ah > , I have this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > set <6485 paqad > thee over <5921 <al > the nations <1471 gowy > and over <5921 <al > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > , to root <5428 nathash > out , and to pull <5422 nathats > down , and to destroy <6> , and to throw <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > , to build <1129 banah > , and to plant <5193 nata< > .
: 11 . Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me , saying <0559 >amar > , Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ? And I said <0559 >amar > , I see <7200 ra>ah > a rod <4731 maqqel > of an almond <8247 shaqed > tree .
: 12 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me , Thou hast well <3190 yatab > seen <7200 ra>ah > : for I will hasten <8245 shaqad > my word <1697 dabar > to perform <6213 <asah > it .
: 13 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time , saying <0559 >amar > , What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ? And I said <0559 >amar > , I see <7200 ra>ah > a seething <5301 naphach > pot <5518 ciyr > ; and the face <6440 paniym > thereof [ is ] toward <6440 paniym > the north <6828 tsaphown > .
: 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me , Out of the north <6828 tsaphown > an evil <7451 ra< > shall break <6605 pathach > forth upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > .
: 15 For , lo <2009 hinneh > , I will call <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the north <6828 tsaphown > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; and they shall come <0935 bow> > , and they shall set <5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his throne <3678 kicce> > at the entering <6607 pethach > of the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah > thereof round <5439 cabiyb > about , and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .
: 16 And I will utter <1696 dabar > my judgments <4941 mishpat > against <5921 <al > them touching <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > their wickedness <7451 ra< > , who have forsaken <5800 <azab > me , and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > , and worshipped <7812 shachah > the works <4639 ma<aseh > of their own <0249 >ezrach > hands <3027 yad > .
: 17 Thou therefore gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen > , and arise <6965 quwm > , and speak <1696 dabar > unto them all <3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee : be not dismayed <2865 chathath > at their faces <6440 paniym > , lest <6435 pen > I confound <2865 chathath > thee before <6440 paniym > them .
: 18 For , behold <2009 hinneh > , I have made <5414 nathan > thee this day <3117 yowm > a defenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr > , and an iron <1270 barzel > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > , and brasen <5178 n@chosheth > walls <2346 chowmah > against <5921 <al > the whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > , against the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , against the princes <8269 sar > thereof , against the priests <3548 kohen > thereof , and against the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > .
: 19 And they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el > thee ; but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee ; for I [ am ] with thee , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , to deliver <5337 natsal > thee .
: Jeremiah 2
: 1 . Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to me , saying <0559 >amar > ,
: 2 Go <1980 halak > and cry <7121 qara> > in the ears <0241 >ozen > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; I remember <2142 zakar > thee , the kindness <2617 checed > of thy youth <5271 na<uwr > , the love <0160 >ahabah > of thine espousals <3623 k@luwlah > , when thou wentest <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > me in the wilderness <4057 midbar > , in a land <0776 >erets > [ that was ] not sown <2232 zara< > .
: 3 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [ was ] holiness <6944 qodesh > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ and ] the firstfruits <7225 re>shiyth > of his increase <8393 t@buw>ah > : all <3605 kol > that devour <0398 >akal > him shall offend <0816 >asham > ; evil <7451 ra< > shall come <0935 bow> > upon them , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 4 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , and all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :
: 5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , What <4100 mah > iniquity <5766 <evel > have your fathers <1> found <4672 matsa> > in me , that they are gone far <7368 rachaq > from me , and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > vanity <1892 hebel > , and are become <1891 habal > vain <1891 habal > ?
: 6 Neither <3808 lo> > said <0559 >amar > they , Where <0346 >ayeh > [ is ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that brought <5927 <alah > us up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , that led <3212 yalak > us through the wilderness <4057 midbar > , through a land <0776 >erets > of deserts <6160 <arabah > and of pits <7745 shuwchah > , through a land <0776 >erets > of drought <6723 tsiyah > , and of the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > , through a land <0776 >erets > that no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > passed <5674 <abar > through , and where <8033 sham > no <3808 lo> > man <0120 >adam > dwelt <3427 yashab > ?
: 7 And I brought <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > a plentiful <3759 karmel > country <0776 >erets > , to eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof and the goodness <2898 tuwb > thereof ; but when ye entered <0935 bow> > , ye defiled <2930 tame> > my land <0776 >erets > , and made <7760 suwm > mine heritage <5159 nachalah > an abomination <8441 tow<ebah > .
: 8 The priests <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > not , Where <0346 >ayeh > [ is ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ? and they that handle <8610 taphas > the law <8451 towrah > knew <3045 yada< > me not : the pastors <7462 ra<ah > also transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me , and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 naba> > by Baal <1168 Ba<al > , and walked <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > [ things that ] do not profit <3276 ya<al > .
: 9 . Wherefore <3651 ken > I will yet <5750 <owd > plead <7378 riyb > with you , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and with your children s <1121 ben > children <1121 ben > will I plead <7378 riyb > .
: 10 For pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the isles <0339 >iy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy > , and see <7200 ra>ah > ; and send <7971 shalach > unto Kedar <6938 Qedar > , and consider <0995 biyn > diligently <3966 m@<od > , and see <7200 ra>ah > if there be such <2063 zo>th > a thing .
: 11 Hath a nation <1471 gowy > changed <4171 muwr > [ their ] gods <0430 >elohiym > , which <1992 hem > [ are ] yet no <3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > ? but my people <5971 <am > have changed <4171 muwr > their glory <3519 kabowd > for [ that which <1992 hem > ] doth not profit <3276 ya<al > .
: 12 Be astonished <8074 shamem > , O ye heavens <8064 shamayim > , at <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > , and be horribly <8175 sa<ar > afraid <8175 sa<ar > , be ye very <3966 m@<od > desolate <2717 charab > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 13 For my people <5971 <am > have committed <6213 <asah > two <8147 sh@nayim > evils <7451 ra< > ; they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living <2416 chay > waters <4325 mayim > , [ and ] hewed <2672 chatsab > them out cisterns <0877 bo>r > , broken <7665 shabar > cisterns <0877 bo>r > , that can hold <3557 kuwl > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > .
: 14 . [ Is ] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a servant <5650 <ebed > ? [ is ] he a homeborn<1004 bayith > [ slave ] ? why <4069 madduwa< > is he spoiled <0957 baz > ?
: 15 The young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > roared <7580 sha>ag > upon him , [ and ] yelled , and they made <7896 shiyth > his land <0776 >erets > waste <8047 shammah > : his cities <5892 <iyr > are burned <3341 yatsath > without <1097 b@liy > inhabitant <3427 yashab > .
: 16 Also <1571 gam > the children <1121 ben > of Noph <5297 Noph > and Tahapanes <8471 Tachpanchec > have broken <7462 ra<ah > the crown <6936 qodqod > of thy head <6936 qodqod > .
: 17 Hast thou not procured <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto thyself , in that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > , when <6256 <eth > he led <3212 yalak > thee by the way <1870 derek > ?
: 18 And now <6258 <attah > what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , to drink <8354 shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of Sihor <7883 Shiychowr > ? or what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , to drink <8354 shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of the river <5104 nahar > ?
: 19 Thine own wickedness <7451 ra< > shall correct <3256 yacar > thee , and thy backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > shall reprove <3198 yakach > thee : know <3045 yada< > therefore and see <7200 ra>ah > that [ it is ] an evil <7451 ra< > [ thing ] and bitter <4751 mar > , that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > , and that my fear <6345 pachdah > [ is ] not in thee , saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .
: 20 . For of old <5769 <owlam > time I have broken <7665 shabar > thy yoke <5923 <ol > , [ and ] burst <5423 nathaq > thy bands <4147 mowcer > ; and thou saidst <0559 >amar > , I will not transgress <5647 <abad > ; when <3588 kiy > upon every <3605 kol > high <1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah > and under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > thou wanderest <6808 tsa<ah > , playing the harlot <2181 zanah > .
: 21 Yet I had planted <5193 nata< > thee a noble vine <8321 soreq > , wholly <3605 kol > a right <0571 >emeth > seed <2233 zera< > : how <0349 >eyk > then art thou turned <2015 haphak > into the degenerate <5494 cuwr > plant of a strange <5237 nokriy > vine <1612 gephen > unto me ?
: 22 For though <0518 >im > thou wash <3526 kabac > thee with nitre <5427 nether > , and take thee much <7235 rabah > soap <1287 boriyth > , [ yet ] thine iniquity <5771 <avon > is marked <3799 katham > before <6440 paniym > me , saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .
: 23 How <0349 >eyk > canst thou say <0559 >amar > , I am not polluted <2930 tame> > , I have not gone <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al > ? see <7200 ra>ah > thy way <1870 derek > in the valley <1516 gay> > , know <3045 yada< > what <4100 mah > thou hast done <6213 <asah > : [ thou art ] a swift <7031 qal > dromedary <1072 bikrah > traversing <8308 sarak > her ways <1870 derek > ;
: 24 A wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > used <3928 limmuwd > to the wilderness <4057 midbar > , [ that ] snuffeth <7602 sha>aph > up the wind <7307 ruwach > at her pleasure ; in her occasion <8385 ta>anah > who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > her away ? all <3605 kol > they that seek <1245 baqash > her will not weary <3286 ya<aph > themselves ; in her month <2320 chodesh > they shall find <4672 matsa> > her .
: 25 Withhold <4513 mana< > thy foot <7272 regel > from being unshod <3182 yacheph > , and thy throat <1627 garown > from thirst <6773 tsim>ah > : but thou saidst <0559 >amar > , There is no hope <2976 ya>ash > : no <3808 lo> > ; for I have loved <0157 >ahab > strangers <2114 zuwr > , and after <0310 >achar > them will I go <3212 yalak > .
: 26 As the thief <1590 gannab > is ashamed <1322 bosheth > when <3588 kiy > he is found <4672 matsa> > , so <3651 ken > is the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ashamed <0954 buwsh > ; they , their kings <4428 melek > , their princes <8269 sar > , and their priests <3548 kohen > , and their prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,
: 27 Saying <0559 >amar > to a stock <6086 <ets > , Thou [ art ] my father <1> ; and to a stone <68> , Thou hast brought <3205 yalad > me forth <3205 yalad > : for they have turned <6437 panah > [ their ] back <6203 <oreph > unto me , and not [ their ] face <6440 paniym > : but in the time <6256 <eth > of their trouble <7451 ra< > they will say <0559 >amar > , Arise <6965 quwm > , and save <3467 yasha< > us .
: 28 But where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] thy gods <0430 >elohiym > that thou hast made <6213 <asah > thee ? let them arise <6965 quwm > , if they can save <3467 yasha< > thee in the time <6256 <eth > of thy trouble <7451 ra< > : for [ according to ] the number <4557 micpar > of thy cities <5892 <iyr > are thy gods <0430 >elohiym > , O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .
: 29 . Wherefore <4100 mah > will ye plead <7378 riyb > with me ? ye all <3605 kol > have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 30 In vain <7723 shav> > have I smitten <5221 nakah > your children <1121 ben > ; they received <3947 laqach > no <3808 lo> > correction <4148 muwcar > : your own sword <2719 chereb > hath devoured <0398 >akal > your prophets <5030 nabiy> > , like a destroying <7843 shachath > lion <0738 >ariy > .
: 31 O generation <1755 dowr > , see <7200 ra>ah > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . Have I been <1961 hayah > a wilderness <4057 midbar > unto Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ? a land <0776 >erets > of darkness <3991 ma>phel@yah > ? wherefore <4069 madduwa< > say <0559 >amar > my people <5971 <am > , We are lords <7300 ruwd > ; we will come <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > unto thee ?
: 32 Can a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > forget <7911 shakach > her ornaments <5716 <adiy > , [ or ] a bride <3618 kallah > her attire <7196 qishshur > ? yet my people <5971 <am > have forgotten <7911 shakach > me days <3117 yowm > without <0369 >ayin > number <4557 micpar > .
: 33 Why <4100 mah > trimmest <3190 yatab > thou thy way <1870 derek > to seek <1245 baqash > love <0160 >ahabah > ? therefore <3651 ken > hast thou also <1571 gam > taught <3925 lamad > the wicked <7451 ra< > ones thy ways <1870 derek > .
: 34 Also <1571 gam > in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > is found <4672 matsa> > the blood <1818 dam > of the souls <5315 nephesh > of the poor <34> innocents <5355 naqiy > : I have not found <4672 matsa> > it by secret <5643 cether > search <4290 machtereth > , but upon all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh > .
: 35 Yet thou sayest <0559 >amar > , Because <3588 kiy > I am innocent <5352 naqah > , surely <0389 >ak > his anger <0639 >aph > shall turn <7725 shuwb > from me . Behold <2005 hen > , I will plead <8199 shaphat > with thee , because <5921 <al > thou sayest <0559 >amar > , I have not sinned <2398 chata> > .
: 36 Why <4100 mah > gaddest <0235 >azal > thou about <0235 >azal > so much <3966 m@<od > to change <8138 shanah > thy way <1870 derek > ? thou also <1571 gam > shalt be ashamed <0954 buwsh > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , as thou wast ashamed <0954 buwsh > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > .
: 37 Yea <1571 gam > , thou shalt go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > from him , and thine hands <3027 yad > upon thine head <7218 ro>sh > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath rejected <3988 ma>ac > thy confidences <4009 mibtach > , and thou shalt not prosper <6743 tsalach > in them .
: Jeremiah 3

Though <3588 kiy > thou clothest <3847 labash > thyself with crimson <8144 shaniy > , though <3588 kiy > thou deckest <5710 <adah > thee with ornaments <5716 <adiy > of gold <2091 zahab > , though <3588 kiy > thou rentest <7167 qara< > thy face <5869 <ayin > with painting <6320 puwk > , in vain <7723 shav> > shalt thou make thyself fair <3302 yaphah > ; [ thy ] lovers <5689 <agab > will despise <3988 ma>ac > thee , they will seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh > .
: 31 For I have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > as of a woman in travail <2470 chalah > , [ and ] the anguish <6869 tsarah > as of her that bringeth <1069 bakar > forth her first <1069 bakar > child , the voice <6963 qowl > of the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , [ that ] bewaileth <3306 yaphach > herself , [ that ] spreadeth <6566 paras > her hands <3709 kaph > , [ saying ] , Woe <0188 >owy > [ is ] me now <4994 na> > ! for my soul <5315 nephesh > is wearied <5888 <ayeph > because of murderers <2026 harag > .
: Jeremiah 5
: 1 . Run <7751 shuwt > ye to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and see <7200 ra>ah > now <4994 na> > , and know <3045 yada< > , and seek <1245 baqash > in the broad <7339 r@chob > places thereof , if <0518 >im > ye can find <4672 matsa> > a man <0376 >iysh > , if <0518 >im > there be [ any ] that executeth <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > , that seeketh <1245 baqash > the truth <0530 >emuwnah > ; and I will pardon <5545 calach > it .
: 2 And though <0518 >im > they say <0559 >amar > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay > ; surely <0403 >aken > they swear <7650 shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer > .
: 3 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ are ] not thine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon the truth <0530 >emuwnah > ? thou hast stricken <5221 nakah > them , but they have not grieved <2342 chuwl > ; thou hast consumed <3615 kalah > them , [ but ] they have refused <3985 ma>en > to receive <3947 laqach > correction <4148 muwcar > : they have made their faces <6440 paniym > harder <2388 chazaq > than a rock <5553 cela< > ; they have refused <3985 ma>en > to return <7725 shuwb > .
: 4 Therefore I said <0559 >amar > , Surely <0389 >ak > these <1992 hem > [ are ] poor <1800 dal > ; they are foolish <2973 ya>al > : for they know <3045 yada< > not the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ nor ] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym > .
: 5 I will get <3212 yalak > me unto the great <1419 gadowl > men , and will speak <1696 dabar > unto them ; for they have known <3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ and ] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym > : but these <1992 hem > have altogether <3162 yachad > broken <7665 shabar > the yoke <5923 <ol > , [ and ] burst <5423 nathaq > the bonds <4147 mowcer > .
: 6 Wherefore a lion <0738 >ariy > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar > shall slay <5221 nakah > them , [ and ] a wolf <2061 z@>eb > of the evenings <6160 <arabah > shall spoil <7703 shadad > them , a leopard <5246 namer > shall watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al > their cities <5892 <iyr > : every one that goeth <3318 yatsa> > out thence <2007 hennah > shall be torn <2963 taraph > in pieces : because <3588 kiy > their transgressions <6588 pesha< > are many <7231 rabab > , [ and ] their backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are increased <6105 <atsam > .
: 7 How <0335 >ay > shall I pardon <5545 calach > thee for this <2063 zo>th > ? thy children <1121 ben > have forsaken <5800 <azab > me , and sworn <7650 shaba< > by [ them that are ] no <3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > : when I had fed them to the full <7646 saba< > , they then committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph > , and assembled <1413 gadad > themselves by troops in the harlots <2181 zanah > houses <1004 bayith > .
: 8 They were [ as ] fed <2109 zuwn > horses <5483 cuwc > in the morning <7904 shakah > : every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > neighed <6670 tsahal > after <0413 >el > his neighbour s <7453 rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah > .
: 9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el - leh > [ things ] ? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh > ?
