1 Hear H8085 VQI2MP ye this H2088 D-PMS word H1697 D-NMS which H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS take up H5375 against H5921 PREP-2MP you , even a lamentation H7015 , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 LMS .
2 The virgin H1330 of Israel H3478 is fallen H5307 VQQ3FS ; she shall no H3808 ADV more H3254 VHY3FS rise H6965 VQI2MS : she is forsaken H5203 upon H5921 PREP her land H127 ; there is none H369 NPAR to raise her up H6965 .
3 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 ; The city H5892 D-GFS that went out H3318 by a thousand H505 W-BMS shall leave H7604 a hundred H3967 MFS , and that which went forth H3318 by a hundred H3967 MFS shall leave H7604 ten H6235 , to the house H1004 of Israel H3478 LMS .
4 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS unto the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , Seek H1875 ye me , and ye shall live H2421 :
5 But seek H1875 not H408 Bethel H1008 LFS , nor H3808 NADV enter H935 into Gilgal H1537 , and pass H5674 not H3808 NADV to Beer H884 - sheba : for H3588 CONJ Gilgal H1537 shall surely go into captivity H1540 , and Bethel H1008 LFS shall come H1961 VQY3MS to naught H205 .
6 Seek H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS , and ye shall live H2421 W-VQI2MP ; lest H6435 CONJ he break out H6743 like fire H784 in the house H1004 CMS of Joseph H3130 , and devour H398 it , and there be none H369 W-NPAR to quench H3518 it in Bethel H1008 LFS .
7 Ye who turn H2015 judgment H4941 NMS to wormwood H3939 , and leave off H5117 righteousness H6666 in the earth H776 LD-NFS ,
8 Seek him that maketh H6213 the seven stars H3598 and Orion H3685 , and turneth H2015 the shadow of death H6757 NMS into the morning H1242 , and maketh the day dark H2821 with night H3915 GMS : that calleth H7121 for the waters H4325 of the sea H3220 D-NMS , and poureth them out H8210 upon H5921 PREP the face H6440 CMP of the earth H776 D-GFS : The LORD H3068 EDS is his name H8034 CMS-3MS :
9 That strengtheneth H1082 the spoiled H7701 against H5921 PREP the strong H5974 , so that the spoiled H7701 shall come H935 VQY3MS against H5921 PREP the fortress H4013 .
10 They hate H8130 VQQ3MP him that rebuketh H3198 VHPMS in the gate H8179 BD-NMS , and they abhor H8581 him that speaketh H1696 uprightly H8549 AMS .
11 Forasmuch H3282 ADV therefore H3651 L-ADV as your treading H1318 is upon H5921 PREP the poor H1800 CMS , and ye take H3947 from H4480 M-PREP-3MS him burdens H4864 of wheat H1250 : ye have built H1129 houses H1004 of hewn stone H1496 , but ye shall not H3808 W-NPAR dwell H3427 in them ; ye have planted H5193 pleasant H2531 vineyards H3754 , but ye shall not H3808 W-NPAR drink H8354 wine H3196 of them .
12 For H3588 CONJ I know H3045 VQY1MS your manifold H7227 AMP transgressions H6588 and your mighty H6099 sins H2403 : they afflict H6887 the just H6662 AMS , they take H3947 a bribe H3724 , and they turn aside H5186 the poor H34 in the gate H8179 from their right .
13 Therefore H3651 L-ADV the prudent H7919 shall keep silence H1826 in that H1931 time H6256 ; for H3588 CONJ it H1931 is an evil H7451 AFS time H6256 NMS .
14 Seek H1875 good H2896 AMS , and not H408 W-NPAR evil H7451 AMS , that H4616 L-CONJ ye may live H2421 : and so H3651 ADV the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 of hosts H6635 , shall be H1961 W-VQI3MS with H854 PART-2MP you , as H834 K-RPRO ye have spoken H559 .
15 Hate H8130 the evil H7451 AMS , and love H157 the good H2896 AMS , and establish H3322 judgment H4941 NMS in the gate H8179 BD-NMS : it may be H194 ADV that the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 of hosts H6635 will be gracious H2603 unto the remnant H7611 of Joseph H3130 .
16 Therefore H3651 L-ADV the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of hosts H6635 , the Lord H136 EDS , saith H559 VQQ3MS thus H3541 ; Wailing H4553 shall be in all H3605 B-CMS streets H7339 ; and they shall say H559 VQY3MP in all H3605 WB-CMS the highways H2351 , Alas H1930 ! alas H1930 ! and they shall call H7121 W-VQQ3MP the husbandman H406 to H413 PREP mourning H60 , and such as are skillful H3045 of lamentation H5092 to H413 PREP wailing H4553 .
17 And in all H3605 WB-CMS vineyards H3754 shall be wailing H4553 : for H3588 CONJ I will pass H5674 through H7130 thee , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
18 Woe H1945 unto you that desire H183 the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS ! to what end H4100 L-IPRO is it H2088 PMS for you ? the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS is darkness H2822 NMS , and not H3808 W-NPAR light H216 NMS .
19 As if H834 K-RPRO a man H376 NMS did flee H5127 from M-CMP a lion H738 , and a bear H1677 met H6293 him ; or went H935 into the house H1004 D-NMS , and leaned H5564 his hand H3027 CFS-3MS on H5921 PREP the wall H7023 , and a serpent H5175 bit H5391 him .
20 Shall not H3808 I-NPAR the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS be darkness H2822 NMS , and not H3808 W-NPAR light H216 NMS ? even very dark H651 , and no H3808 W-NPAR brightness H5051 in it ?
21 I hate H8130 , I despise H3988 VQQ1MS your feast days H2282 , and I will not H3808 W-NPAR smell H7306 in your solemn assemblies H6116 .
22 Though H518 PART ye offer H5927 me burnt offerings H5930 CFP and your meat offerings H4503 , I will not H3808 NADV accept H7521 them : neither H3808 NADV will I regard H5027 the peace offerings H8002 of your fat beasts H4806 .
23 Take thou away H5493 from M-PREP-1MS me the noise H1995 of thy songs H7892 ; for I will not H3808 NADV hear H8085 VQY1MS the melody H2172 of thy viols H5035 .
24 But let judgment H4941 NMS run down H1556 as waters H4325 , and righteousness H6666 as a mighty H386 stream H5158 .
25 Have ye offered H5066 unto me sacrifices H2077 and offerings H4503 in the wilderness H4057 forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS , O house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 LMS ?
26 But ye have borne H5375 the tabernacle H5522 of your Moloch H4432 and Chiun H3594 your images H6754 , the star H3556 of your god H430 , which H834 RPRO ye made H6213 to yourselves .
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity H1540 beyond H1973 Damascus H1834 , saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , whose name H8034 CMS-3MS is The God H430 of hosts H6635 .
