The sin{H2403} of Judah{H3063} is written{H3789} with a pen{H5842} of iron,{H1270} [and] with the point{H6856} of a diamond:{H8068} it is graven{H2790} upon the tablet{H3871} of their heart,{H3820} and upon the horns{H7161} of your altars;{H4196}

whilst their children{H1121} remember{H2142} their altars{H4196} and their Asherim{H842} by the green{H7488} trees{H6086} upon the high{H1364} hills.{H1389}

O my mountain{H2042} in the field,{H7704} I will give{H5414} thy substance{H2428} and all thy treasures{H214} for a spoil,{H957} [and] thy high places,{H1116} because of sin,{H2403} throughout all thy borders.{H1366}

And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue{H8058} from thy heritage{H5159} that I gave{H5414} thee; and I will cause thee to serve{H5647} thine enemies{H341} in the land{H776} which thou knowest{H3045} not: for ye have kindled{H6919} a fire{H784} in mine anger{H639} which shall burn{H3344} for{H5704} ever.{H5769}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Cursed{H779} is the man{H1397} that trusteth{H982} in man,{H120} and maketh{H7760} flesh{H1320} his arm,{H2220} and whose heart{H3820} departeth{H5493} from Jehovah.{H3068}

For he shall be like the heath{H6199} in the desert,{H6160} and shall not see{H7200} when good{H2896} cometh,{H935} but shall inhabit{H7931} the parched places{H2788} in the wilderness,{H4057} a salt{H4420} land{H776} and not inhabited.{H3427}

Blessed{H1288} is the man{H1397} that trusteth{H982} in Jehovah,{H3068} and whose trust{H4009} Jehovah{H3068} is.

For he shall be as a tree{H6086} planted{H8362} by the waters,{H4325} that spreadeth out{H7971} its roots{H8328} by the river,{H3105} and shall not fear{H7200} when heat{H2527} cometh,{H935} but its leaf{H5929} shall be green;{H7488} and shall not be careful{H1672} in the year{H8141} of drought,{H1226} neither shall cease{H4185} from yielding{H6213} fruit.{H6529}

The heart{H3820} is deceitful{H6121} above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt:{H605} who can know{H3045} it?

I, Jehovah,{H3068} search{H2713} the mind,{H3820} I try{H974} the heart,{H3820} even to give{H5414} every man{H376} according to his ways,{H1870} according to the fruit{H6529} of his doings.{H4611}

As the partridge{H7124} that sitteth{H1716} on [eggs] which she hath not laid,{H3205} so is he that getteth{H6213} riches,{H6239} and not by right;{H4941} in the midst{H2677} of his days{H3117} they shall leave{H5800} him, and at his end{H319} he shall be a fool.{H5036}

A glorious{H3519} throne,{H3678} [set] on high{H4791} from the beginning,{H7223} is the place{H4725} of our sanctuary.{H4720}

O Jehovah,{H3068} the hope{H4723} of Israel,{H3478} all that forsake{H5800} thee shall be put to shame.{H954} They that depart{H3249} from me{H5493} shall be written{H3789} in the earth,{H776} because they have forsaken{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} the fountain{H4726} of living{H2416} waters.{H4325}

Heal{H7495} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} and I shall be healed;{H7495} save{H3467} me, and I shall be saved:{H3467} for thou art my praise.{H8416}

Behold, they say{H559} unto me, Where is the word{H1697} of Jehovah?{H3068} let it come{H935} now.

As for me, I have not hastened{H213} from being a shepherd{H7462} after{H310} thee; neither have I desired{H183} the woeful{H605} day;{H3117} thou knowest:{H3045} that which came out{H4161} of my lips{H8193} was before{H5227} thy face.{H6440}

Be not a terror{H4288} unto me: thou art my refuge{H4268} in the day{H3117} of evil.{H7451}

Let them be put to shame{H954} that persecute{H7291} me, but let not me be put to shame;{H954} let them be dismayed,{H2865} but let not me be dismayed;{H2865} bring{H935} upon them the day{H3117} of evil,{H7451} and destroy{H7665} them with double{H4932} destruction.{H7670}

Thus said{H559} Jehovah{H3068} unto me: Go,{H1980} and stand{H5975} in the gate{H8179} of the children{H1121} of the people,{H5971} whereby the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063} come in,{H935} and by which they go out,{H3318} and in all the gates{H8179} of Jerusalem;{H3389}

and say{H559} unto them, Hear{H8085} ye the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} ye kings{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} and all Judah,{H3063} and all the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem,{H3389} that enter in{H935} by these gates:{H8179}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} Take heed{H8104} to yourselves,{H5315} and bear{H5375} no burden{H4853} on the sabbath{H7676} day,{H3117} nor bring{H935} it in by the gates{H8179} of Jerusalem;{H3389}

neither carry forth{H3318} a burden{H4853} out of your houses{H1004} on the sabbath{H7676} day,{H3117} neither do{H6213} ye any work:{H4399} but hallow{H6942} ye the sabbath{H7676} day,{H3117} as I commanded{H6680} your fathers.{H1}

But they hearkened{H8085} not, neither inclined{H5186} their ear,{H241} but made their neck{H6203} stiff,{H7185} that they might not hear,{H8085} and might not receive{H3947} instruction.{H4148}

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently{H8085} hearken{H8085} unto me, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} to bring{H935} in no burden{H4853} through the gates{H8179} of this city{H5892} on the sabbath{H7676} day,{H3117} but to hallow{H6942} the sabbath{H7676} day,{H3117} to do{H6213} no{H1115} work{H4399} therein;

then shall there enter{H935} in by the gates{H8179} of this city{H5892} kings{H4428} and princes{H8269} sitting{H3427} upon the throne{H3678} of David,{H1732} riding{H7392} in chariots{H7393} and on horses,{H5483} they, and their princes,{H8269} the men{H376} of Judah,{H3063} and the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem;{H3389} and this city{H5892} shall remain{H3427} for ever.{H5769}

And they shall come{H935} from the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and from the places round about{H5439} Jerusalem,{H3389} and from the land{H776} of Benjamin,{H1144} and from the lowland,{H8219} and from the hill-country,{H2022} and from the South,{H5045} bringing{H935} burnt-offerings,{H5930} and sacrifices,{H2077} and meal-offerings,{H4503} and frankincense,{H3828} and bringing{H935} [sacrifices of] thanksgiving,{H8426} unto the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}

But if ye will not hearken{H8085} unto me to hallow{H6942} the sabbath{H7676} day,{H3117} and not to bear{H5375} a burden{H4853} and enter in{H935} at the gates{H8179} of Jerusalem{H3389} on the sabbath{H7676} day;{H3117} then will I kindle{H3341} a fire{H784} in the gates{H8179} thereof, and it shall devour{H398} the palaces{H759} of Jerusalem,{H3389} and it shall not be quenched.{H3518}
