Jeremiah 2:20--3:11

For of old time
<05769>
I have broken
<07665> (8804)
thy yoke
<05923>_,
[and] burst
<05423> (8765)
thy bands
<04147>_;
and thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not transgress
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05647> (8799)_;
when upon every high
<01364>
hill
<01389>
and under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>
thou wanderest
<06808> (8802)_,
playing the harlot
<02181> (8802)_.
{transgress: or, serve}
Yet I had planted
<05193> (8804)
thee a noble vine
<08321>_,
wholly a right
<0571>
seed
<02233>_:
how then art thou turned
<02015> (8738)
into the degenerate plant
<05494>
of a strange
<05237>
vine
<01612>
unto me?
For though thou wash
<03526> (8762)
thee with nitre
<05427>_,
and take thee much
<07235> (8686)
soap
<01287>_,
[yet] thine iniquity
<05771>
is marked
<03799> (8737)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
How canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,
I am not polluted
<02930> (8738)_,
I have not gone
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
Baalim
<01168>_?
see
<07200> (8798)
thy way
<01870>
in the valley
<01516>_,
know
<03045> (8798)
what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_:
[thou art] a swift
<07031>
dromedary
<01072>
traversing
<08308> (8764)
her ways
<01870>_;
{thou art...: or, O swift dromedary}
A wild ass
<06501>
used
<03928>
to the wilderness
<04057>_,
[that] snuffeth up
<07602> (8804)
the wind
<07307>
at her pleasure
<0185> <05315>_;
in her occasion
<08385>
who can turn her away
<07725> (8686)_?
all they that seek
<01245> (8764)
her will not weary
<03286> (8799)
themselves; in her month
<02320>
they shall find
<04672> (8799)
her. {A wild...: or, O wild ass, etc} {used: Heb. taught} {her pleasure: Heb. the desire of her heart} {turn...: or, reverse it?}
Withhold
<04513> (8798)
thy foot
<07272>
from being unshod
<03182>_,
and thy throat
<01627>
from thirst
<06773>_:
but thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:
no; for I have loved
<0157> (8804)
strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
and after
<0310>
them will I go
<03212> (8799)_.
{There...: or, Is the case desperate?}
As the thief
<01590>
is ashamed
<01322>
when he is found
<04672> (8735)_,
so is the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
ashamed
<03001> (8689)_;
they, their kings
<04428>_,
their princes
<08269>_,
and their priests
<03548>_,
and their prophets
<05030>_,
Saying
<0559> (8802)
to a stock
<06086>_,
Thou [art] my father
<01>_;
and to a stone
<068>_,
Thou hast brought me forth
<03205> (8804)_:
for they have turned
<06437> (8804)
[their] back
<06203>
unto me, and not [their] face
<06440>_:
but in the time
<06256>
of their trouble
<07451>
they will say
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
and save
<03467> (8685)
us. {brought...: or, begotten me} {their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck}
But where [are] thy gods
<0430>
that thou hast made
<06213> (8804)
thee? let them arise
<06965> (8799)_,
if they can save
<03467> (8686)
thee in the time
<06256>
of thy trouble
<07451>_:
for [according to] the number
<04557>
of thy cities
<05892>
are thy gods
<0430>_,
O Judah
<03063>_.
{trouble: Heb. evil}
Wherefore will ye plead
<07378> (8799)
with me? ye all have transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
In vain
<07723>
have I smitten
<05221> (8689)
your children
<01121>_;
they received
<03947> (8804)
no correction
<04148>_:
your own sword
<02719>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
your prophets
<05030>_,
like a destroying
<07843> (8688)
lion
<0738>_.
O generation
<01755>_,
see
<07200> (8798)
ye the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Have I been a wilderness
<04057>
unto Israel
<03478>_?
a land
<0776>
of darkness
<03991>_?
wherefore say
<0559> (8804)
my people
<05971>_,
We are lords
<07300> (8804)_;
we will come
<0935> (8799)
no more unto thee? {We are...: Heb. We have dominion}
Can a maid
<01330>
forget
<07911> (8799)
her ornaments
<05716>_,
[or] a bride
<03618>
her attire
<07196>_?
yet my people
<05971>
have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
me days
<03117>
without number
<04557>_.
Why trimmest
<03190> (8686)
thou thy way
<01870>
to seek
<01245> (8763)
love
<0160>_?
therefore hast thou also taught
<03925> (8765)
the wicked ones
<07451>
thy ways
<01870>_.
Also in thy skirts
<03671>
is found
<04672> (8738)
the blood
<01818>
of the souls
<05315>
of the poor
<034>
innocents
<05355>_:
I have not found
<04672> (8804)
it by secret search
<04290>_,
but upon all these. {secret...: Heb. digging}
Yet thou sayest
<0559> (8799)_,
Because I am innocent
<05352> (8738)_,
surely his anger
<0639>
shall turn
<07725> (8804)
from me. Behold, I will plead
<08199> (8737)
with thee, because thou sayest
<0559> (8800)_,
I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)_.
Why gaddest thou about
<0235> (8799)
so much
<03966>
to change
<08138> (8763)
thy way
<01870>_?
thou also shalt be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
of Egypt
<04714>_,
as thou wast ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Assyria
<0804>_.
Yea, thou shalt go forth
<03318> (8799)
from him, and thine hands
<03027>
upon thine head
<07218>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath rejected
<03988> (8804)
thy confidences
<04009>_,
and thou shalt not prosper
<06743> (8686)
in them.
They say
<0559> (8800)_,
If a man
<0376>
put away
<07971> (8762)
his wife
<0802>_,
and she go
<01980> (8804)
from him, and become another
<0312>
man's
<0376>_,
shall he return unto her again
<07725> (8799)_?
shall not that land
<0776>
be greatly
<02610> (8800)
polluted
<02610> (8799)_?
but thou hast played the harlot
<02181> (8804)
with many
<07227>
lovers
<07453>_;
yet return again
<07725> (8800)
to me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{They say: Heb. Saying}
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
unto the high places
<08205>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)
where
<0375>
thou hast not been lien
<07693> (8795) (8676) <07901> (8795)
with. In the ways
<01870>
hast thou sat
<03427> (8804)
for them, as the Arabian
<06163>
in the wilderness
<04057>_;
and thou hast polluted
<02610> (8686)
the land
<0776>
with thy whoredoms
<02184>
and with thy wickedness
<07451>_.
Therefore the showers
<07241>
have been withholden
<04513> (8735)_,
and there hath been no latter rain
<04456>_;
and thou hadst a whore's
<02181> (8802) <0802>
forehead
<04696>_,
thou refusedst
<03985> (8765)
to be ashamed
<03637> (8736)_.
Wilt thou not from this time cry
<07121> (8804)
unto me, My father
<01>_,
thou [art] the guide
<0441>
of my youth
<05271>_?
Will he reserve
<05201> (8799)
[his anger] for ever
<05769>_?
will he keep
<08104> (8799)
[it] to the end
<05331>_?
Behold, thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
and done
<06213> (8799)
evil things
<07451>
as thou couldest
<03201> (8799)_.
The LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
also unto me in the days
<03117>
of Josiah
<02977>
the king
<04428>_,
Hast thou seen
<07200> (8804)
[that] which backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>
hath done
<06213> (8804)_?
she is gone up
<01980> (8802)
upon every high
<01364>
mountain
<02022>
and under
<08478>
every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_,
and there hath played the harlot
<02181> (8799)_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)
after
<0310>
she had done
<06213> (8800)
all these [things], Turn
<07725> (8799)
thou unto me. But she returned
<07725> (8804)
not. And her treacherous
<0901>
sister
<0269>
Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[it].
And I saw
<07200> (8799)_,
when for all the causes
<0182>
whereby backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>
committed adultery
<05003> (8765)
I had put her away
<07971> (8765)_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
her a bill
<05612>
of divorce
<03748>_;
yet her treacherous
<0898> (8802)
sister
<0269>
Judah
<03063>
feared
<03372> (8804)
not, but went
<03212> (8799)
and played the harlot
<02181> (8799)
also.
And it came to pass through the lightness
<06963>
of her whoredom
<02184>_,
that she defiled
<02610> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and committed adultery
<05003> (8799)
with stones
<068>
and with stocks
<06086>_.
{lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherous
<0901>
sister
<0269>
Judah
<03063>
hath not turned
<07725> (8804)
unto me with her whole heart
<03820>_,
but feignedly
<08267>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, The backsliding
<04878>
Israel
<03478>
hath justified
<06663> (8765)
herself
<05315>
more than treacherous
<0898> (8802)
Judah
<03063>_.
