Woe{H1945} unto the shepherds{H7462} that destroy{H6} and scatter{H6327} the sheep{H6629} of my pasture!{H4830} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} against the shepherds{H7462} that feed{H7462} my people:{H5971} Ye have scattered{H6327} my flock,{H6629} and driven them away,{H5080} and have not visited{H6485} them; behold, I will visit{H6485} upon you the evil{H7455} of your doings,{H4611} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

And I will gather{H6908} the remnant{H7611} of my flock{H6629} out of all the countries{H776} whither I have driven{H5080} them, and will bring them again{H7725} to their folds;{H5116} and they shall be fruitful{H6509} and multiply.{H7235}

And I will set up{H6965} shepherds{H7462} over them, who shall feed{H7462} them; and they shall fear{H3372} no more, nor be dismayed,{H2865} neither shall any be lacking,{H6485} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that I will raise{H6965} unto David{H1732} a righteous{H6662} Branch,{H6780} and he shall reign{H4427} as king{H4428} and deal wisely,{H7919} and shall execute{H6213} justice{H4941} and righteousness{H6666} in the land.{H776}

In his days{H3117} Judah{H3063} shall be saved,{H3467} and Israel{H3478} shall dwell{H7931} safely;{H983} and this is his name{H8034} whereby he shall be called:{H7121} Jehovah our righteousness.{H3072}

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

but, As Jehovah{H3068} liveth,{H2416} who brought up{H5927} and who led{H935} the seed{H2233} of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} out of the north{H6828} country,{H776} and from all the countries{H776} whither I had driven{H5080} them. And they shall dwell{H3427} in their own land.{H127}

Concerning the prophets.{H5030} My heart{H3820} within{H7130} me is broken,{H7665} all my bones{H6106} shake;{H7363} I am like a drunken{H7910} man,{H376} and like a man{H1397} whom wine{H3196} hath overcome,{H5674} because{H6440} of Jehovah,{H3068} and because of his holy{H6944} words.{H1697}

For the land{H776} is full{H4390} of adulterers;{H5003} for because{H6440} of swearing{H423} the land{H776} mourneth;{H56} the pastures{H4999} of the wilderness{H4057} are dried up.{H3001} And their course{H4794} is evil,{H7451} and their might{H1369} is not right;

for both prophet{H5030} and priest{H3548} are profane;{H2610} yea, in my house{H1004} have I found{H4672} their wickedness,{H7451} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Wherefore their way{H1870} shall be unto them as slippery{H2519} places in the darkness:{H653} they shall be driven on,{H1760} and fall{H5307} therein; for I will bring{H935} evil{H7451} upon them, even the year{H8141} of their visitation,{H6486} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

And I have seen{H7200} folly{H8604} in the prophets{H5030} of Samaria;{H8111} they prophesied{H5012} by Baal,{H1168} and caused my people{H5971} Israel{H3478} to err.{H8582}

In the prophets{H5030} of Jerusalem{H3389} also I have seen{H7200} a horrible thing:{H8186} they commit adultery,{H5003} and walk{H1980} in lies;{H8267} and they strengthen{H2388} the hands{H3027} of evil-doers,{H7489} so that none{H376} doth return{H7725} from his wickedness:{H7451} they are all of them become unto me as Sodom,{H5467} and the inhabitants{H3427} thereof as Gomorrah.{H6017}

Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} concerning the prophets:{H5030} Behold, I will feed{H398} them with wormwood,{H3939} and make them drink{H8248} the water{H4325} of gall;{H7219} for from the prophets{H5030} of Jerusalem{H3389} is ungodliness{H2613} gone forth{H3318} into all the land.{H776}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} Hearken{H8085} not unto the words{H1697} of the prophets{H5030} that prophesy{H5012} unto you: they teach you vanity;{H1891} they speak{H1696} a vision{H2377} of their own heart,{H3820} and not out of the mouth{H6310} of Jehovah.{H3068}

They say{H559} continually{H559} unto them that despise{H5006} me, Jehovah{H3068} hath said,{H1696} Ye shall have peace;{H7965} and unto every one that walketh{H1980} in the stubbornness{H8307} of his own heart{H3820} they say,{H559} No evil{H7451} shall come{H935} upon you.

For who hath stood{H5975} in the council{H5475} of Jehovah,{H3068} that he should perceive{H7200} and hear{H8085} his word?{H1697} who hath marked{H7181} my word,{H1697} and heard{H8085} it?

Behold, the tempest{H5591} of Jehovah,{H3068} [even his] wrath,{H2534} is gone forth,{H3318} yea, a whirling{H2342} tempest:{H5591} it shall burst{H2342} upon the head{H7218} of the wicked.{H7563}

The anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} shall not return,{H7725} until he have executed,{H6213} and till he have performed{H6965} the intents{H4209} of his heart:{H3820} in the latter{H319} days{H3117} ye shall understand{H995} it perfectly.{H998}

I sent{H7971} not these prophets,{H5030} yet they ran:{H7323} I spake{H1696} not unto them, yet they prophesied.{H5012}

But if they had stood{H5975} in my council,{H5475} then had they caused my people{H5971} to hear{H8085} my words,{H1697} and had turned{H7725} them from their evil{H7451} way,{H1870} and from the evil{H7455} of their doings.{H4611}

Am I a God{H430} at hand,{H7138} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and not a God{H430} afar off?{H7350}

Can any{H376} hide{H5641} himself in secret places{H4565} so that I shall not see{H7200} him? saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} Do not I fill{H4392} heaven{H8064} and earth?{H776} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

I have heard{H8085} what the prophets{H5030} have said,{H559} that prophesy{H5012} lies{H8267} in my name,{H8034} saying,{H559} I have dreamed,{H2492} I have dreamed.{H2492}

How long shall this be{H3426} in the heart{H3820} of the prophets{H5030} that prophesy{H5012} lies,{H8267} even the prophets{H5030} of the deceit{H8649} of their own heart?{H3820}

that think{H2803} to cause my people{H5971} to forget{H7911} my name{H8034} by their dreams{H2472} which they tell{H5608} every man{H376} to his neighbor,{H7453} as their fathers{H1} forgat{H7911} my name{H8034} for Baal.{H1168}

The prophet{H5030} that hath a dream,{H2472} let him tell{H5608} a dream;{H2472} and he that hath my word,{H1697} let him speak{H1696} my word{H1697} faithfully.{H571} What is the straw{H8401} to the wheat?{H1250} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Is not my word{H1697} like{H3541} fire?{H784} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} and like a hammer{H6360} that breaketh{H6327} the rock{H5553} in pieces?{H6327}

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,{H5030} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that steal{H1589} my words{H1697} every one{H376} from his neighbor.{H7453}

Behold, I am against the prophets,{H5030} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that use{H3947} their tongues,{H3956} and say,{H5001} He saith.{H5002}

Behold, I am against them that prophesy{H5012} lying{H8267} dreams,{H2472} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and do tell{H5608} them, and cause my people{H5971} to err{H8582} by their lies,{H8267} and by their vain boasting:{H6350} yet I sent{H7971} them not, nor commanded{H6680} them; neither do they profit{H3276} this people{H5971} at all,{H3276} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

And when this people,{H5971} or the prophet,{H5030} or a priest,{H3548} shall ask{H7592} thee, saying,{H559} What is the burden{H4853} of Jehovah?{H3068} then shalt thou say{H559} unto them, What burden!{H4853} I will cast{H5203} you off, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

And as for the prophet,{H5030} and the priest,{H3548} and the people,{H5971} that shall say,{H559} The burden{H4853} of Jehovah,{H3068} I will even punish{H6485} that man{H376} and his house.{H1004}

Thus shall ye say{H559} every one{H376} to his neighbor,{H7453} and every one{H376} to his brother,{H251} What hath Jehovah{H3068} answered?{H6030} and, What hath Jehovah{H3068} spoken?{H1696}

And the burden{H4853} of Jehovah{H3068} shall ye mention{H2142} no more: for every man's{H376} own word{H1697} shall be his burden;{H4853} for ye have perverted{H2015} the words{H1697} of the living{H2416} God,{H430} of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} our God.{H430}

Thus shalt thou say{H559} to the prophet,{H5030} What hath Jehovah{H3068} answered{H6030} thee? and, What hath Jehovah{H3068} spoken?{H1696}

But{H518} if ye say,{H559} The burden{H4853} of Jehovah;{H3068} therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Because ye say{H559} this word,{H1697} The burden{H4853} of Jehovah,{H3068} and I have sent{H7971} unto you, saying,{H559} Ye shall not say,{H559} The burden{H4853} of Jehovah;{H3068}

therefore, behold, I will utterly{H5377} forget{H5382} you, and I will cast{H5203} you off, and the city{H5892} that I gave{H5414} unto you and to your fathers,{H1} away from my presence:{H6440}

and I will bring{H5414} an everlasting{H5769} reproach{H2781} upon you, and a perpetual{H5769} shame,{H3640} which shall not be forgotten.{H7911}
