The word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came also unto me, saying,{H559}

Thou shalt not take{H3947} thee a wife,{H802} neither shalt thou have sons{H1121} or daughters,{H1323} in this place.{H4725}

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} concerning the sons{H1121} and concerning the daughters{H1323} that are born{H3205} in this place,{H4725} and concerning their mothers{H517} that bare{H3205} them, and concerning their fathers{H1} that begat{H3209} them in this land:{H776}

They shall die{H4191} grievous{H8463} deaths:{H4463} they shall not be lamented,{H5594} neither shall they be buried;{H6912} they shall be as dung{H1828} upon the face{H6440} of the ground;{H127} and they shall be consumed{H3615} by the sword,{H2719} and by famine;{H7458} and their dead bodies{H5038} shall be food{H3978} for the birds{H5775} of the heavens,{H8064} and for the beasts{H929} of the earth.{H776}

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} Enter{H935} not into the house{H1004} of mourning,{H4798} neither go{H3212} to lament,{H5594} neither bemoan{H5110} them; for I have taken away{H622} my peace{H7965} from this people,{H5971} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} even lovingkindness{H2617} and tender mercies.{H7356}

Both great{H1419} and small{H6996} shall die{H4191} in this land;{H776} they shall not be buried,{H6912} neither shall men lament{H5594} for them, nor cut{H1413} themselves, nor make themselves bald{H7139} for them;

neither shall men break{H6536} [bread] for them in mourning,{H60} to comfort{H5162} them for the dead;{H4191} neither shall men give them the cup{H3563} of consolation{H8575} to drink{H8248} for their father{H1} or for their mother.{H517}

And thou shalt not go{H935} into the house{H1004} of feasting{H4960} to sit{H3427} with them, to eat{H398} and to drink.{H8354}

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Behold, I will cause to cease{H7673} out of this place,{H4725} before your eyes{H5869} and in your days,{H3117} the voice{H6963} of mirth{H8342} and the voice{H6963} of gladness,{H8057} the voice{H6963} of the bridegroom{H2860} and the voice{H6963} of the bride.{H3618}

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show{H5046} this people{H5971} all these words,{H1697} and they shall say{H559} unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah{H3068} pronounced{H1696} all this great{H1419} evil{H7451} against us? or what is our iniquity?{H5771} or what is our sin{H2403} that we have committed{H2398} against Jehovah{H3068} our God?{H430}

Then shalt thou say{H559} unto them, Because your fathers{H1} have forsaken{H5800} me, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and have walked{H3212} after{H310} other{H312} gods,{H430} and have served{H5647} them, and have worshipped{H7812} them, and have forsaken{H5800} me, and have not kept{H8104} my law;{H8451}

and ye have done{H6213} evil{H7489} more than your fathers;{H1} for, behold,{H2009} ye walk{H1980} every one{H376} after{H310} the stubbornness{H8307} of his evil{H7451} heart,{H3820} so that ye hearken{H8085} not unto me:

therefore will I cast{H2904} you forth out of this land{H776} into the land{H776} that ye have not known,{H3045} neither ye nor your fathers;{H1} and there shall ye serve{H5647} other{H312} gods{H430} day{H3119} and night;{H3915} for I will show{H5414} you no favor.{H2594}

Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that it shall no more be said,{H559} As Jehovah{H3068} liveth,{H2416} that brought up{H5927} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} out of the land{H776} of Egypt;{H4714}

but, As Jehovah{H3068} liveth,{H2416} that brought up{H5927} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} from the land{H776} of the north,{H6828} and from all the countries{H776} whither he had driven{H5080} them. And I will bring them again{H7725} into their land{H127} that I gave{H5414} unto their fathers.{H1}

Behold, I will send{H7971} for many{H7227} fishers,{H1771} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and they shall fish{H1770} them up; and afterward{H310} I will send{H7971} for many{H7227} hunters,{H6719} and they shall hunt{H6679} them from every mountain,{H2022} and from every hill,{H1389} and out of the clefts{H5357} of the rocks.{H5553}

For mine eyes{H5869} are upon all their ways;{H1870} they are not hid{H5641} from my face,{H6440} neither is their iniquity{H5771} concealed{H6845} from{H5048} mine eyes.{H5869}

And first{H7223} I will recompense{H7999} their iniquity{H5771} and their sin{H2403} double,{H4932} because they have polluted{H2490} my land{H776} with the carcasses{H5038} of their detestable{H8251} things, and have filled{H4390} mine inheritance{H5159} with their abominations.{H8441}

O Jehovah,{H3068} my strength,{H5797} and my stronghold,{H5797} and my refuge{H4498} in the day{H3117} of affliction,{H6869} unto thee shall the nations{H1471} come{H935} from the ends{H657} of the earth,{H776} and shall say,{H559} Our fathers{H1} have inherited{H5157} nought but lies,{H8267} [even] vanity{H1892} and things wherein there is no profit.{H3276}

Shall a man{H120} make{H6213} unto himself gods,{H430} which yet are no gods?{H430}

Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know,{H3045} this once{H6471} will I cause them to know{H3045} my hand{H3027} and my might;{H1369} and they shall know{H3045} that my name{H8034} is Jehovah.{H3068}
