At that time,{H6256} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} they shall bring out{H3318} the bones{H6106} of the kings{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} and the bones{H6106} of his princes,{H8269} and the bones{H6106} of the priests,{H3548} and the bones{H6106} of the prophets,{H5030} and the bones{H6106} of the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem,{H3389} out of their graves;{H6913}

and they shall spread{H7849} them before the sun,{H8121} and the moon,{H3394} and all the host{H6635} of heaven,{H8064} which they have loved,{H157} and which they have served,{H5647} and after{H310} which they have walked,{H1980} and which they have sought,{H1875} and which they have worshipped:{H7812} they shall not be gathered,{H622} nor be buried,{H6912} they shall be for dung{H1828} upon the face{H6440} of the earth.{H127}

And death{H4194} shall be chosen{H977} rather than life{H2416} by all the residue{H7611} that remain{H7604} of this evil{H7451} family,{H4940} that remain{H7604} in all the places{H4725} whither I have driven{H5080} them, saith{H5002} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

Moreover thou shalt say{H559} unto them, Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Shall men fall,{H5307} and not rise{H6965} up again? Shall one turn away,{H7725} and not return?{H7725}

Why then is this people{H5971} of Jerusalem{H3389} slidden back{H7725} by a perpetual{H5329} backsliding?{H4878} they hold{H2388} fast deceit,{H8649} they refuse{H3985} to return.{H7725}

I hearkened{H7181} and heard,{H8085} but they spake not aright:{H1696} no man{H376} repenteth{H5162} him of{H5921} his wickedness,{H7451} saying,{H559} What have I done?{H6213} every one turneth{H7725} to his course,{H4794} as a horse{H5483} that rusheth{H7857} headlong in the battle.{H4421}

Yea, the stork{H2624} in the heavens{H8064} knoweth{H3045} her appointed times;{H4150} and the turtle-dove{H8449} and the swallow{H5693} and the crane{H5483} observe{H8104} the time{H6256} of their coming;{H935} but my people{H5971} know{H3045} not the law{H4941} of Jehovah.{H3068}

How do ye say,{H559} We are wise,{H2450} and the law{H8451} of Jehovah{H3068} is with us? But, behold,{H403} the false{H8267} pen{H5842} of the scribes{H5608} hath wrought{H6213} falsely.{H8267}

The wise{H2450} men are put to shame,{H3001} they are dismayed{H2865} and taken:{H3920} lo, they have rejected{H3988} the word{H1697} of Jehovah;{H3068} and what manner of wisdom{H2451} is in them?

Therefore will I give{H5414} their wives{H802} unto others,{H312} and their fields{H7704} to them that shall possess{H3423} them: for every one from the least{H6996} even unto the greatest{H1419} is given{H1214} to covetousness;{H1215} from the prophet{H5030} even unto the priest{H3548} every one dealeth{H6213} falsely.{H8267}

And they have healed{H7495} the hurt{H7667} of the daughter{H1323} of my people{H5971} slightly,{H7043} saying,{H559} Peace,{H7965} peace;{H7965} when there is no peace.{H7965}

Were they ashamed{H3001} when they had committed{H6213} abomination?{H8441} nay, they were not at all{H954} ashamed,{H954} neither could{H3045} they blush:{H3637} therefore shall they fall{H5307} among them that fall;{H5307} in the time{H6256} of their visitation{H6486} they shall be cast down,{H3782} saith{H559} Jehovah.{H3068}

I will utterly{H622} consume{H5486} them, saith{H5002} Jehovah:{H3068} there shall be no grapes{H6025} on the vine,{H1612} nor figs{H8384} on the fig-tree,{H8384} and the leaf{H5929} shall fade;{H5034} and [the things that] I have given{H5414} them shall pass away{H5674} from them.

Why do we sit still?{H3427} assemble{H622} yourselves, and let us enter{H935} into the fortified{H4013} cities,{H5892} and let us be silent{H1826} there; for Jehovah{H3068} our God{H430} hath put us to silence,{H1826} and given us water{H4325} of gall{H7219} to drink,{H8248} because we have sinned{H2398} against Jehovah.{H3068}

We looked{H6960} for peace,{H7965} but no good{H2896} came; [and] for a time{H6256} of healing,{H4832} and, behold, dismay!{H1205}

The snorting{H5170} of his horses{H5483} is heard{H8085} from Dan:{H1835} at the sound{H6963} of the neighing{H4684} of his strong ones{H47} the whole land{H776} trembleth;{H7493} for they are come,{H935} and have devoured{H398} the land{H776} and all{H4393} that is in it; the city{H5892} and those that dwell{H3427} therein.

For, behold, I will send{H7971} serpents,{H5175} adders,{H6848} among you, which will not be charmed;{H3908} and they shall bite{H5391} you, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Oh that I could comfort{H4010} myself against sorrow!{H3015} my heart{H3820} is faint{H1742} within me.

Behold, the voice{H6963} of the cry{H7775} of the daughter{H1323} of my people{H5971} from a land{H776} that is very far{H4801} off: Is not Jehovah{H3068} in Zion?{H6726} is not her King{H4428} in her? Why have they provoked me to anger{H3707} with their graven images,{H6456} and with foreign{H5236} vanities?{H1892}

The harvest{H7105} is past,{H5674} the summer{H7019} is ended,{H3615} and we are not saved.{H3467}

For the hurt{H7667} of the daughter{H1323} of my people{H5971} am I hurt:{H7665} I mourn;{H6937} dismay{H8047} hath taken hold{H2388} on me.

Is there no balm{H6875} in Gilead?{H1568} is there no physician{H7495} there? why then{H3588} is not the health{H724} of the daughter{H1323} of my people{H5971} recovered?{H5927}
