5:1 | unne yee to and fro thorow the streetes of Ierusalem, and see now and knowe, and seeke in the broad places thereof, if ye can finde a man, if there be any that executeth iudgement, that seeketh the trueth, and I will pardon it. | |
5:2 | And though they say, The Lord liueth, surely they sweare falsely. | |
5:3 | O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the trueth? Thou hast stricken them, but they haue not grieued; thou hast consumed them, but they haue refused to receiue correction: they haue made their faces harder then a rocke, they haue refused to returne. | |
5:4 | Therefore I said, Surely these are poore, they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the iudgement of their God. | |
5:5 | I wil get me vnto the great men, and will speake vnto them, for they haue knowen the way of the Lord, and the iudgement of their God: but these haue altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bondes. | |
5:6 | Wherfore a lyon out of the forrest shall slay them, and a wolfe of the euenings shall spoile them, a leopard shall watch ouer their cities: euery one that goeth out thence shalbe torne in pieces, because their transgressions are many, and their backeslidings are increased. | |
5:7 | How shall I pardon thee for this? Thy children haue forsaken mee, and sworne by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adulterie, and assembled themselues by troupes in the harlots houses. | |
5:8 | They were as fed horses in the morning: euery one neighed after his neighbours wife: | |
5:9 | Shall I not visit for these things, sayth the Lord, and shall not my soule bee auenged on such a nation as this? | |
5:10 | Goe yee vp vpon her walles, and destroy, but make not a full ende: take away her battlements, for they are not the Lords. | |
5:11 | For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord. | |
5:12 | They haue belyed the Lord, and said; It is not he, neither shall euill come vpon vs, neither shal we see sword nor famine. | |
5:13 | And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done vnto them. | |
5:14 | Wherfore thus saith the Lord God of Hostes; Because yee speake this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth, fire, and this people wood, and it shall deuoure them. | |
5:15 | Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say. | |
5:16 | Their quiuer is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. | |
5:17 | And they shall eate vp thine haruest and thy bread, which thy sonnes and thy daughters should eate: they shall eate vp thy flockes and thine heards: they shall eate vp thy vines and thy figtrees: they shall impouerish thy fenced cities wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. | |
5:18 | Neuerthelesse in those daies, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you. | |
5:19 | And it shall come to passe when yee shall say; Wherefore doth the Lord our God all these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them; Like as ye haue forsaken me, & serued strange Gods in your land; so shall yee serue strangers in a land that is not yours. | |
5:20 | Declare this in the house of Iacob, and publish it in Iudah saying; | |
5:21 | Heare now this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not. | |
5:22 | Feare yee not mee, saith the Lord ? Will yee not tremble at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof tosse themselues, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it? | |
5:23 | But this people hath a reuolting and a rebellious heart: they are reuolted and gone. | |
5:24 | Neither say they in their heart; Let vs now feare the Lord our God, that giueth raine, both the former and the later in his season: he reserueth vnto vs the appointed weekes of the haruest. | |
5:25 | Your iniquities haue turned away these things, & your sinnes haue withholden good things from you. | |
5:26 | For among my people are found wicked men: they lay waite as hee that setteth snares, they set a trap, they catch men. | |
5:27 | As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. | |
5:28 | They are waxen fat, they shine: yea they ouerpasse the deedes of the wicked: they iudge not the cause, the cause of the fatherlesse, yet they prosper: and the right of the needy doe they not iudge. | |
5:29 | Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord ? shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this? | |
5:30 | A wonderfull and horrible thing is committed in the land. | |
5:31 | The prophets prophecie falsely, and the priests beare rule by their meanes, and my people loue to haue it so: and what will yee doe in the end therof? |
