Jeremiah 12 You are righteous, O lord, that I may plead to you. I will speak to you only concerning judgments. Why is it that the way of the impious prospers? All the ones disrespecting in wickedness prospered.

1 G1342 You are righteous, G1510.2.2 G2962 O lord, G3754 that G626 I may plead G4314 to G1473 you. G4133 [⁴only G2917 ⁵ concerning judgments G2980 ¹I will speak G4314 ²to G1473 ³you]. G5100 Why is it G3754 that G3598 the way G765 of the impious G2137 prospers? G2112.1 [⁵prospered G3956 ¹All G3588 ²the ones G114 ³disrespecting G114.1 ⁴in wickedness].

2 G5452 You planted G1473 them, G2532 and G4492 they were rooted. G5043.1 They produced children, G2532 and G4160 they produced G2590 fruit. G1451 [³near G1510.2.2 ²are G1473 ¹You] G3588 G4750 their mouth, G1473 G2532 and G4206 at a distance G575 from G3588 G3510 their kidneys. G1473

3 G2532 And G1473 you, G2962 O lord, G1097 know G1473 me. G1381 You have tried G3588 G2588 my heart G1473 G1726 before G1473 you. G4863 Gather G1473 them G5613 as G4168 a flock G1519 for G2378 a sacrifice, G2532 and G48 purify G1473 them G1519 for G2250 the day G4967 of slaughter!

4 G2193 For G4219 how long G3996 will [³mourn G3588 ¹the G1093 ²land], G2532 and G3956 all G3588 the G5528 grass G3588 of the G68 field G3583 be dried, G575 because of G2549 the evils G3588 of the ones G2730 dwelling G1722 in G1473 it? G853 [⁴were removed from view G2934 ¹ The cattle G2532 ²and G4071 ³ the winged creatures]; G3754 for G2036 they said, G3756 [²shall not G3708 ³see G3588 G2316 ¹God] G3598 our ways. G1473

5 G1473 Your G3588 G4228 feet G5143 run, G2532 and G1590 they cause you to faint. G1473 G4459 How G3903 will you make preparations G1909 to ride upon G2462 horses? G2532 and G1722 [²in G1093 ³ the land G1515 ⁴of your peace G1473 G3982 ¹you have relied]. G4459 How G4160 will you do G1722 in G5432.1 the neighing G3588 of the G* Jordan?

6 G3754 For G2532 even G3588 G80 your brethren G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G3962 of your father, G1473 G2532 even G1473 they G114 disregarded G1473 you; G2532 and G1473 they G994 yelled out; G1537 [²at G3588 G3694 ³your rear G1473 G1996 ¹they assembled]; G3361 you should not G4100 trust G1722 in G1473 them G3753 when G2980 they speak G4314 with G1473 you G2570 good words .

7 G1459 I have abandoned G3588 G3624 my house; G1473 G863 I let go G3588 G2817 of my inheritance; G1473 G1325 I gave G3588 the one G25 being loved G5590 of my soul G1473 G1519 into G5495 the hands G2190 of her enemies. G1473

8 G1096 [²became G3588 G2817 ¹My inheritance] G1473 G1473 to me G5613 as G3023 a lion G1722 in G1409.1 the forest; G1325 she uttered G1909 [²against G1473 ³me G3588 G5456 ¹her voice]; G1473 G1223 on account of G3778 this G3404 I detested G1473 her.

9 G3361 Is not G4693 the cave G5190.1 of a hyena G3588 G2817 my inheritance G1473 G1473 to me, G3588 the G4693 cave G2945 round about G1473 her G1909 against G1473 her? G897.2 Proceed, G4863 bring together G3956 all G3588 the G2342 wild beasts G3588 of the G68 field, G2532 and G2064 let them come G3588 G2068 to eat G1473 her!

10 G4166 [²shepherds G4183 ¹Many] G1311 corrupted G3588 G290 my vineyard, G1473 G3435 they tainted G3588 G3310 my portion; G1473 G1325 they made G3310 [²portion G1938.1 ¹my desirable] G1473 G1519 for G2048 [²wilderness G4.2 ¹an untrodden].

11 G5087 It was appointed G1519 for G854 extinction G684 by destruction; G1223 on account of G1473 me G854 [⁵in extinction G853 ⁴was obliterated G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G1093 ³land], G3754 for G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G435 man G5087 putting G1722 it to G2588 heart.

12 G1909 Upon G3956 every G1326.2 mountain pass G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness G2064 [²came G5003 ¹ the ones causing misery]. G3754 For G3162 the sword G3588 of the G2962 lord G2719 shall devour G575 from G206.1 one tip G3588 of the G1093 land G2193 unto G206.1 the other tip G3588 of the G1093 land; G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G1515 peace G3956 to all G4561 flesh.

13 G4687 You sowed G4447.1 wheat, G2532 and G173 [²thorn-bushes G2325 ¹harvested]. G3588 G2819 Their lots G1473 G3756 shall not G5623 benefit them. G1473 G153 Be ashamed G575 of G2746 your boasting, G1473 G575 because of G3680 scorn G1726 before G2962 the lord!

14 G3754 For G3592 thus G3004 says G2962 the lord, G4012 Concerning G3956 all G3588 the G1069 [²neighbors G3588 G4190 ¹wicked] G3588 of the G680 ones touching G3588 G2817 my inheritance, G1473 G3739 which G3307 I portioned G3588 to G2992 my people G1473 G* Israel -- G2400 behold, G1473 I G645 draw them away G1473 G575 from G3588 G1093 their land, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G* Judah G1544 I will cast out G1537 from G3319 the midst G1473 of them.

15 G2532 And G1510.8.3 it will be G3326 after G3588 G1544 [²casting ⁴out G1473 ¹my G1473 ³them], G1994 I will return, G2532 and G1653 I will show mercy G1473 on them, G2532 and G2733.1 I will settle G1473 them G1538 each G1519 in G3588 G2817 his inheritance, G1473 G2532 and G1538 each G1519 in G3588 G1093 his land. G1473

16 G2532 And G1510.8.3 it will be G1437 if G3129 in learning G3129 they should learn G3588 the G3598 way G3588 G2992 of my people, G1473 G3588 G3660 to swear by an oath G3588 to G3686 my name, saying, G1473 G2198 As the lord lives; G2962 G2531 as G1321 they taught G3588 G2992 my people G1473 G3660 to swear by an oath G3588 to G* Baal, G2532 then G3618 they shall be edified G1722 in G3319 the midst G3588 G2992 of my people. G1473

17 G1437 But if G1161 G3361 they should not G1994 return, G2532 then G1808 I shall lift away G1484 that nation G1565 G1821.4 by removal G2532 and G684 destruction, G3004 says G2962 the lord .

1 H6662 Righteous H3068 art thou, O LORD, H7378 [H8799] when I plead H1696 [H8762] with thee: yet let me speak H4941 with thee of thy judgments: H1870 Why doth the way H7563 of the wicked H6743 [H8804] prosper? H7951 [H8804] why are they all happy H899 that deal very H898 [H8802] treacherously?

2 H5193 [H8804] Thou hast planted H8327 [H8776] them, yea, they have taken root: H3212 [H8799] they grow, H6213 [H8804] yea, they bring forth H6529 fruit: H7138 thou art near H6310 in their mouth, H7350 and far from H3629 their kidneys.

3 H3068 But thou, O LORD, H3045 [H8804] knowest H7200 [H8799] me: thou hast seen H974 [H8804] me, and tried H3820 my heart H5423 [H8685] toward thee: pull them out H6629 like sheep H2878 for the slaughter, H6942 [H8685] and sanctify H3117 them for the day H2028 of slaughter.

4 H776 How long shall the land H56 [H8799] mourn, H6212 and the herbs H7704 of every field H3001 [H8799] wither, H7451 for the evil H3427 [H8802] of them that dwell H929 in it? the beasts H5595 [H8804] are consumed, H5775 and the birds; H559 [H8804] because they said, H7200 [H8799] He shall not see H319 our last end.

5 H7323 [H8804] If thou hast run H7273 with the footmen, H3811 [H8686] and they have wearied H8474 [H8807] thee, then how canst thou contend H5483 with horses? H776 and if in the land H7965 of peace, H982 [H8802] in which thou didst trust, H6213 [H8799] they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do H1347 in the swelling H3383 of Jordan?

6 H251 For even thy brethren, H1004 and the house H1 of thy father, H898 [H8804] even they have dealt treacherously H7121 [H8804] with thee; yea, they have called H4392 a multitude H310 after H539 [H8686] thee: believe H1696 [H8762] them not, though they speak H2896 fair words to thee.

7 H5800 [H8804] I have forsaken H1004 my house, H5203 [H8804] I have left H5159 my inheritance; H5414 [H8804] I have given H3033 the dearly beloved H5315 of my breath H3709 into the palm H341 [H8802] of her enemies.

8 H5159 My inheritance H738 is to me as a lion H3293 in the forest; H5414 H6963 [H8804] it crieth out H8130 [H8804] against me: therefore have I hated it.

9 H5159 My inheritance H6641 is to me as a speckled H5861 bird, H5861 the birds H5439 on every side H3212 [H8798] are against her; come H622 [H8798] ye, assemble H2416 all the beasts H7704 of the field, H857 [H8685] come H402 to devour.

10 H7227 Many H7462 [H8802] shepherds H7843 [H8765] have decayed H3754 my vineyard, H947 0 they have trodden H2513 my portion H947 [H8790] under foot, H5414 [H8804] they have made H2532 my pleasant H2513 portion H8077 a desolate H4057 wilderness.

11 H7760 [H8804] They have made H8076 it desolate, H8077 and being desolate H56 [H8804] it mourneth H776 to me; the whole land H8074 [H8738] is made desolate, H376 because no man H7760 [H8802] layeth H3820 it to heart.

12 H7703 [H8802] The spoilers H935 [H8804] have come H8205 upon all high places H4057 through the wilderness: H2719 for the sword H3068 of the LORD H398 [H8802] shall devour H7097 from the one end H776 of the land H7097 even to the other end H776 of the land: H1320 no flesh H7965 shall have peace.

13 H2232 [H8804] They have sown H2406 wheat, H7114 [H8804] but shall reap H6975 thorns: H2470 [H8738] they have put themselves to pain, H3276 [H8686] but shall not profit: H954 [H8804] and they shall be pale H8393 of your revenues H2740 because of the burning H639 anger H3068 of the LORD.

14 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H7451 against all my evil H7934 neighbours, H5060 [H8802] that touch H5159 the inheritance H5971 which I have caused my people H3478 Israel H5157 [H8689] to inherit; H5428 [H8802] Behold, I will pluck them out H127 of their soil, H5428 [H8799] and pluck out H1004 the house H3063 of Judah H8432 from among them.

15 H310 And it shall come to pass, after H5428 [H8800] I have plucked them out H7725 [H8799] I will return, H7355 [H8765] and have compassion H7725 [H8689] on them, and will bring them again, H376 every man H5159 to his inheritance, H376 and every man H776 to his land.

My life also that I love so well, have I given into the hands of mine enemies. ⁸ Mine heritage is become unto me, as a Lion in the wood.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ O Lord, if I dispute with thee, thou art righteous: yet let mee talke with thee of thy iudgements: wherefore doeth the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they in wealth that rebelliously transgresse? ² Thou hast planted them, and they haue taken roote: they grow, and bring forth fruite: thou art neere in their mouth, and farre from their reines. ³ But thou, Lord, knowest me: thou hast seene me, and tried mine heart towarde thee: pull them out like sheepe for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. ⁴ Howe long shall the lande mourne, and the herbes of euery fielde wither, for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein? the beastes are consumed and the birdes, because they sayd, He wil not see our last ende. ⁵ If thou hast runne with the footemen and they haue wearied thee, then howe canst thou match thy selfe with horses? and if thou thoughtest thy selfe safe in a peaceable lande, what wilt thou do in the swelling of Iorden? ⁶ For euen thy brethren, and the house of thy father, euen they haue delt vnfaithfully with thee, and they haue cryed out altogether vpon thee: but beleeue them not, though they speake faire to thee. ⁷ I haue forsaken mine house: I haue left mine heritage: I haue giuen the dearely beloued of my soule into the hands of her enemies. ⁸ Mine heritage is vnto mee, as a lion in the forest: it crieth out against mee, therefore haue I hated it. ⁹ Shall mine heritage bee vnto mee, as a bird of diuers colours? are not the birdes about her, saying, Come, assemble all ye beastes of the fielde, come to eate her? ¹⁰ Many pastors haue destroyed my vineyarde, and troden my portion vnder foote: of my pleasant portion they haue made a desolate wildernesse. ¹¹ They haue layde it waste, and it, being waste, mourneth vnto me: and the whole lande lyeth waste, because no man setteth his minde on it. ¹² The destroyers are come vpon all the high places in the wildernesse: for the sworde of the Lord shall deuoure from the one end of the land, euen to the other ende of the lande: no flesh shall haue peace. ¹³ They haue sowen wheate, and reaped thornes: they were sicke, and had no profite: and they were ashamed of your fruites, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord. ¹⁴ Thus sayeth the Lord against all mine euill neighbours, that touch the inheritance, which I haue caused my people Israel to inherite, Beholde, I will plucke them out of their lande, and plucke out the house of Iudah from among them. ¹⁵ And after that I haue plucked them out, I will returne, and haue compassion on them, and will bring againe euery man to his heritage, and euery man to his land. ¹⁶ And if they will learne the wayes of my people, to sweare by my Name, (The Lord liueth, as they taught my people to sweare by Baal) then shall they be built in the middes of my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not obey, then will I vtterly plucke vp, and destroy that nation, sayeth the Lord.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thou indeed, O Lord, art just, if I plead with thee, but yet I will speak what is just to thee: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper: why is it well with all them that transgress, and do wickedly? ² Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root: they prosper and bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. ³ And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as for the day of slaughter. ⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of every field wither for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts and the birds are consumed: because they have said: He shall not see our last end. ⁵ If thou hast been wearied with running with footmen, how canst thou contend with horses? and if thou hast been secure in a land of peace, what wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan? ⁶ For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have fought against thee, and have cried after thee with full voice: believe them not when they speak good things to thee. ⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: it hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it. ⁹ Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? is it as a bird dyed throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all ye beasts of the earth, make haste to devour. ¹⁰ Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness. ¹¹ They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart. ¹² The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh. ¹³ They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord. ¹⁴ Thus saith the Lord against all wicked neighbours, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them. ¹⁵ And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man into his land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by Baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.

1 H6662 Righteous H3068 art thou, O LORD H7378 , when I plead [H8799] H1696 with thee: yet let me talk [H8762] H4941 with thee of thy judgments H1870 : Wherefore doth the way H7563 of the wicked H6743 prosper [H8804] H7951 ? wherefore are all they happy [H8804] H899 that deal very H898 treacherously [H8802] ?

2 H5193 Thou hast planted [H8804] H8327 them, yea, they have taken root [H8776] H3212 : they grow [H8799] H6213 , yea, they bring forth [H8804] H6529 fruit H7138 : thou art near H6310 in their mouth H7350 , and far from H3629 their reins.

3 H3068 But thou, O LORD H3045 , knowest [H8804] H7200 me: thou hast seen [H8799] H974 me, and tried [H8804] H3820 mine heart H5423 toward thee: pull them out [H8685] H6629 like sheep H2878 for the slaughter H6942 , and prepare [H8685] H3117 them for the day H2028 of slaughter.

4 H776 How long shall the land H56 mourn [H8799] H6212 , and the herbs H7704 of every field H3001 wither [H8799] H7451 , for the wickedness H3427 of them that dwell [H8802] H929 therein? the beasts H5595 are consumed [H8804] H5775 , and the birds H559 ; because they said [H8804] H7200 , He shall not see [H8799] H319 our last end.

5 H7323 If thou hast run [H8804] H7273 with the footmen H3811 , and they have wearied [H8686] H8474 thee, then how canst thou contend [H8807] H5483 with horses H776 ? and if in the land H7965 of peace H982 , wherein thou trustedst [H8802] H6213 , they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do [H8799] H1347 in the swelling H3383 of Jordan?

6 H251 For even thy brethren H1004 , and the house H1 of thy father H898 , even they have dealt treacherously [H8804] H7121 with thee; yea, they have called [H8804] H4392 a multitude H310 after H539 thee: believe [H8686] H1696 them not, though they speak [H8762] H2896 fair words unto thee.

7 H5800 I have forsaken [H8804] H1004 mine house H5203 , I have left [H8804] H5159 mine heritage H5414 ; I have given [H8804] H3033 the dearly beloved H5315 of my soul H3709 into the hand H341 of her enemies [H8802] .

9 H5159 Mine heritage H6641 is unto me as a speckled H5861 bird H5861 , the birds H5439 round about H3212 are against her; come [H8798] H622 ye, assemble [H8798] H2416 all the beasts H7704 of the field H857 , come [H8685] H402 to devour.

10 H7227 Many H7462 pastors [H8802] H7843 have destroyed [H8765] H3754 my vineyard H947 , they have trodden H2513 my portion H947 under foot [H8790] H5414 , they have made [H8804] H2532 my pleasant H2513 portion H8077 a desolate H4057 wilderness.

11 H7760 They have made [H8804] H8076 it desolate H8077 , and being desolate H56 it mourneth [H8804] H776 unto me; the whole land H8074 is made desolate [H8738] H376 , because no man H7760 layeth [H8802] H3820 it to heart.

12 H7703 The spoilers [H8802] H935 are come [H8804] H8205 upon all high places H4057 through the wilderness H2719 : for the sword H3068 of the LORD H398 shall devour [H8802] H7097 from the one end H776 of the land H7097 even to the other end H776 of the land H1320 : no flesh H7965 shall have peace.

13 H2232 They have sown [H8804] H2406 wheat H7114 , but shall reap [H8804] H6975 thorns H2470 : they have put themselves to pain [H8738] H3276 , but shall not profit [H8686] H954 : and they shall be ashamed [H8804] H8393 of your revenues H2740 because of the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD.

14 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H7451 against all mine evil H7934 neighbours H5060 , that touch [H8802] H5159 the inheritance H5971 which I have caused my people H3478 Israel H5157 to inherit [H8689] H5428 ; Behold, I will pluck them out [H8802] H127 of their land H5428 , and pluck out [H8799] H1004 the house H3063 of Judah H8432 from among them.

15 H310 And it shall come to pass, after H5428 that I have plucked them out [H8800] H7725 I will return [H8799] H7355 , and have compassion [H8765] H7725 on them, and will bring them again [H8689] H376 , every man H5159 to his heritage H376 , and every man H776 to his land.

16 H3925 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently [H8800] H3925 learn [H8799] H1870 the ways H5971 of my people H7650 , to swear [H8736] H8034 by my name H3068 , The LORD H2416 liveth H3925 ; as they taught [H8765] H5971 my people H7650 to swear [H8736] H1168 by Baal H1129 ; then shall they be built [H8738] H8432 in the midst H5971 of my people.

17 H8085 But if they will not obey [H8799] H5428 , I will utterly [H8800] H5428 pluck up [H8804] H6 and destroy [H8763] H1471 that nation H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ [p] Righteous as thou art, O Lord, can I defend a cause against thee? but let me speak to thee in respect to judgments. Why is the way of wicked men prosperous?

Thou art near in their mouth, but far from their reins. ³ But thou, Lord, knowest me. Thou hast tried my heart before thee. Prepare them for the day of their slaughter. ⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and all the grass of the field be withered, for the wickedness of them who dwell therein? The cattle and fowls are vanished; because they said, God will not regard our ways. ⁵ [J] Thy feet run and fail thee: what preparation canst thou make, for horses? In thy land of peace hast thou been se [j cure? how wilt thou act at the swelling of Jordan? ⁶ since even thy brethren and the house of thy father have dealt perfidiously with thee; when they have raised the cry of war; have assembled in pursuit of thee, wilt thou trust them, because they speak thee fair? ⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my heritage, I have given the beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies. ⁸ My heritage became to me like a lion in a forest; against me it roared; therefore I hated it. ⁹ Is not this heritage of mine the den of a hyena? to me indeed it is the den around her. Go, collect all the beasts of the field and let them come and devour it. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have defiled my portion, they have made my beloved portion a trackless desert: ¹¹ it is given up to total destruction. On my account the whole land is utterly desolated: because there is not a man who layeth this to heart, ¹² against every outlet by the wilderness destroyers are come: because the sword of the Lord devoureth from one end of the land to the other; there is no peace for any flesh. ¹³ Sow wheat and reap brambles. Their portions shall not profit them. Be ashamed of your boasting, of reproaches against the Lord. ¹⁴ For thus saith the Lord, respecting all those malignant neighbours, who touch my inheritance which I parcelled out to my people Israel; behold I am about to pluck them out of their land, and I will drive out Juda from among them, ¹⁵ but after I have driven them out, I will return and have compassion on them, and settle them every one in his inheritance even every one in his own land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the way of my people to swear by my name, "As the Lord liveth" as they taught my people to swear by Baal; ¹⁷ they shall be established among my people: but if they will not return; I will assuredly root out that nation with ruin and destruction.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Too righteous art thou, O Lord, that I could plead with thee; yet must I speak of the principles of justice with thee: Wherefore is the way of the wicked happy? do all those prosper that deal treacherously? ² Thou hast planted them; they have also taken root; they grow; they also bring forth fruit: thou art near, in their mouth, and far from their mind. ³ But thou, O Lord, knowest me; thou seest me, and probest my heart toward thee; set them apart like sheep for the slaughter, and destine them for the day of slaying. ⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herb of all the field wither? Because of the wickedness of those that dwell therein are wholly removed the beasts and the birds; because they said, He will not see our last end. ⁵ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, how then canst thou contend with the horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, how then wilt thou do in the swelling of the Jordan? ⁶ For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, even they have called forth a crowd of men after thee: believe them not, though they speak kindly unto thee. ⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my heritage; I have given up the most dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it sent forth its voice against me: therefore do I hate it. ⁹ Is my heritage become unto me as a bird of prey stained with blood? so that the birds of prey are all around it? Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them hither to devour. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden under foot my field, they have rendered my pleasant field a desolate wilderness. ¹¹ They have made it a desert, and being desolate it mourneth before me: the whole land is made desolate, because no man laid it to heart. ¹² Over all the mountain-peaks in the wilderness did the destroyers come; for the sword of the Lord devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: there is no peace to any flesh. ¹³ They have sown wheat, but they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain but have no profit; be therefore ashamed of your products, because of the fierce anger of the Lord. ¹⁴ Thus hath said the Lord against all my bad neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit, Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and the house of Judah will I pluck out from the midst of them. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, that, after I have plucked them out, and I will again have mercy on them, and will restore them, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will truly learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As the Lord liveth; as they had taught my people to swear by Ba’al: that they shall then be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not hearken, then will I pluck out that nation, plucking out and exterminating them, saith the Lord.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Righteous art Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers. ² Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near art Thou in their mouth, And far off from their reins. ³ And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known me, Thou seest me, and hast tried my heart with Thee, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter. ⁴ Till when doth the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He doth not see our latter end.' ⁵ For—with footmen thou hast run, And they weary thee, And how dost thou fret thyself with horses! Even in the land of peace, In which thou art confident—And how dost thou in the rising of Jordan! ⁶ For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they dealt treacherously against thee, Even they—they called after thee fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to thee good things.
⁷ I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her. ⁹ A speckled fowl is Mine inheritance to Me? Is the fowl round about against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come ye for food. ¹⁰ Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness—a desolation. ¹¹ He hath made it become a desolation, The desolation hath mourned unto Me, Desolated hath been all the land, But there is no one laying it to heart. ¹² On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For the sword of Jehovah is consuming, From the end of the land even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh. ¹³ They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick—they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.
¹⁴ Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people—Israel—to inherit: `Lo, I am plucking them from off their ground, And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst. ¹⁵ And it hath been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land. ¹⁶ And it hath come to pass, If they learn well the ways of My people, To swear by My name, `Jehovah liveth,' As they taught My people to swear by Baal, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ And if they do not hearken, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying, An affirmation of Jehovah!'

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Just art thou, O Jehovah, for I will strive to thee: surely I will speak judgments with thee: Wherefore did the way of the evil prosper? all they acting faithlessly with treachery were secure? ² Thou didst plant them; they took root; they went on, also they made fruit: thou being near in their mouth, and far off from their reins. ³ And thou, Jehovah, knew me: thou wilt see me, and thou didst try my heart with thee: pluck them out as sheep for the slaughter, and consecrate them to the day of slaughter. ⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herbage of every field dry up from the evil of those dwelling in it the earth perished, and the birds; for they said, He shall not see our last Part ⁵ If thou didst run with the footmen and they will weary thee, and how wilt thou contend with horses? and in the land of peace thou trustest, and how wilt thou do in the grandeur of Jordan ⁶ For also thy brethren and the house of thy father, they also acted faithlessly with thee; they also called after thee a fulness: thou shalt not believe in them for they will speak to thee good things. ⁷ I forsook my house, I rejected mine inheritance; I gave the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance was to me as a lion in the forest; she gave upon me with her voice: for this I hated her. ⁹ The ravenous hyena is my inheritance to me, rushing round about upon her; go ye, gather together all the beasts of the field, set ye upon to eat her. ¹⁰ Many shepherds destroyed my vineyard, they trod down my portion, they gave the portion of my desire for a desert of desolation. ¹¹ Setting her for a desolation, she mourned to me; all the land was set a desolation, for no man put upon his heart ¹² They spoiling came upon all the hills of the desert: for the sword of Jehovah consumed from the extremity of the land even to extremity of the land: no peace to all flesh. ¹³ They sowed wheat and they reaped thorns: they were wearied, they shall not profit; and they were ashamed of your gains from the burning of the anger of Jehovah. ¹⁴ Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbors, those touching upon the inheritance which I caused my people Israel to inherit: behold me tearing them up from their land, and I will tear up the house of Judah from the midst of them. ¹⁵ And it was after my tearing them up I will turn back and compassionate them, and cause them to dwell a man to his inheritance, and a man to his land. ¹⁶ And it was if learning, they shall learn the ways of my people to swear in my name, Jehovah lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; and they were built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ And if they will not hear, tearing up and destroying, I tore up that nation, says Jehovah.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Righteous art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speak with thee of [thy] judgments. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they at ease that deal very treacherously? ² Thou hast planted them, they also have taken root: they advance, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, but far from their reins. ³ But thou, Jehovah, knowest me; thou hast seen me, and proved my heart toward thee. Drag them out like sheep for the slaughter, and set them apart for the day of slaughter. ⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of all the fields wither? Because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts and the birds perish; for they say, He will not see our end. ⁵ If thou hast run with footmen, and they have wearied thee, how wilt thou then contend with horses? And if in a land of peace thou thinkest thyself in security, how wilt thou then do in the swelling of the Jordan? ⁶ For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak good [words] unto thee. ⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage, I have given the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it hath raised its voice against me: therefore have I hated it. ⁹ My heritage is unto me [as] a speckled bird of prey; the birds of prey round about are against her. Go, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness: ¹¹ they have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourneth unto me: the whole land is made desolate, for no man layeth it to heart. ¹² Spoilers are come upon all heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from one end of the land even to the [other] end of the land: no flesh hath peace. ¹³ They have sown wheat, and they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain, [and] do not profit. Be ye therefore ashamed of your revenues, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. ¹⁴ Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, [As] Jehovah liveth -- even as they taught my people to swear by Baal -- they shall be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ And if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Jehovah.

1 H6662 Righteous H3068 art thou, O Jehovah, H7378 when I contend H1696 with thee; yet would I reason H4941 the cause H1870 with thee: wherefore doth the way H7563 of the wicked H6743 prosper? H7951 wherefore are all they at ease H899 that deal very H898 treacherously?

2 H5193 Thou hast planted H8327 them, yea, they have taken root; H3212 they grow, H6213 yea, they bring forth H6529 fruit: H7138 thou art near H6310 in their mouth, H7350 and far from H3629 their heart.

3 H3068 But thou, O Jehovah, H3045 knowest H7200 me; thou seest H974 me, and triest H3820 my heart H5423 toward thee: pull them out H6629 like sheep H2878 for the slaughter, H6942 and prepare H3117 them for the day H2028 of slaughter.

4 H776 How long shall the land H56 mourn, H6212 and the herbs H7704 of the whole country H3001 wither? H7451 for the wickedness H3427 of them that dwell H929 therein, the beasts H5595 are consumed, H5775 and the birds; H559 because they said, H7200 He shall not see H319 our latter end.

5 H7323 If thou hast run H7273 with the footmen, H3811 and they have wearied H8474 thee, then how canst thou contend H5483 with horses? H776 and though in a land H7965 of peace H982 thou art secure, H6213 yet how wilt thou do H3383 in the pride of the Jordan?

6 H251 For even thy brethren, H1004 and the house H1 of thy father, H898 even they have dealt treacherously H7121 with thee; even they have cried H4392 aloud H310 after H539 thee: believe H1696 them not, though they speak H2896 fair words unto thee.

7 H5800 I have forsaken H1004 my house, H5203 I have cast H5159 off my heritage; H5414 I have given H3033 the dearly beloved H5315 of my soul H3709 into the hand H341 of her enemies.

8 H5159 My heritage H738 is become unto me as a lion H3293 in the forest: H5414 she hath uttered H8130 her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.

9 H5159 Is my heritage H6641 unto me as a speckled H5861 bird H5861 of prey? are the birds H5439 of prey against her round about? H3212 go H622 ye, assemble H2416 all the beasts H7704 of the field, H857 bring H402 them to devour.

10 H7227 Many H7462 shepherds H7843 have destroyed H3754 my vineyard, H947 they have trodden H2513 my portion H947 under foot, H5414 they have made H2532 my pleasant H2513 portion H8077 a desolate H4057 wilderness.

11 H7760 They have made H8076 it a desolation; H56 it mourneth H8077 unto me, being desolate; H776 the whole land H8074 is made desolate, H376 because no man H7760 layeth H3820 it to heart.

12 H7703 Destroyers H935 are come H8205 upon all the bare heights H4057 in the wilderness; H2719 for the sword H3068 of Jehovah H398 devoureth H7097 from the one end H776 of the land H7097 even to the other end H776 of the land: H1320 no flesh H7965 hath peace.

13 H2232 They have sown H2406 wheat, H7114 and have reaped H6975 thorns; H2470 they have put themselves to pain, H3276 and profit H954 nothing: and ye shall be ashamed H8393 of your fruits, H2740 because of the fierce H639 anger H3068 of Jehovah.

14 H559 Thus saith H3068 Jehovah H7451 against all mine evil H7934 neighbors, H5060 that touch H5159 the inheritance H5971 which I have caused my people H3478 Israel H5157 to inherit: H5428 behold, I will pluck them up from off H127 their land, H5428 and will pluck up H1004 the house H3063 of Judah H8432 from among them.

15 H310 And it shall come to pass, after H5428 that I have plucked them up, H7725 I will return H7355 and have compassion H7725 on them; and I will bring them again, H376 every man H5159 to his heritage, H376 and every man H776 to his land.

16 H3925 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently H3925 learn H1870 the ways H5971 of my people, H7650 to swear H8034 by my name, H3068 As Jehovah H2416 liveth; H3925 even as they taught H5971 my people H7650 to swear H1168 by Baal; H1129 then shall they be built H8432 up in the midst H5971 of my people.

17 H8085 But if they will not hear, H5428 then will I pluck H5428 up H1471 that nation, H5428 plucking up H5002 and destroying it, saith H3068 Jehovah.

Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden My portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. ¹¹ They have made it a desolation, it mourneth unto Me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. ¹² Upon all the high hills in the wilderness spoilers are come; for the sword of the LORD devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land, no flesh hath peace. ¹³ They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, they profit not; be ye then ashamed of your increase, because of the fierce anger of the LORD. ¹⁴ Thus saith the LORD: As for all Mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit, behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people to swear by My name: 'As the LORD liveth,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they will not hearken, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith the LORD.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Righteous, art thou, O Yahweh, when I present my pleading unto thee,––Yet, concerning the things that are right, let me speak with thee,––Wherefore, hath, the way of the lawless, prospered? [Wherefore] have all, utter traitors, been at ease? ² Thou didst plant them, yea they took root, They have gone on, yea, they have borne fruit,––Near, art thou, in their mouth, But far off from their affections. ³ But, thou, O Yahweh, knowest me, Wilt thou observe me, and try my heart, towards thee? Drag them away, as sheep for slaughter, And hallow them, for the day when they are to be slain. ⁴ How long, shall the land mourn, And, the herbage of the whole field, wither? For the wickedness of them that dwell therein, beast and bird, have perished, For, say they, He will not see our latter end! ⁵ If, with the footmen, thou hast run, and they have wearied thee, How then wilt thou hotly contend, with horses? Though, in a safe land, thou, art confident, Yet how wilt thou deal with the proud banks of the Jordan? ⁶ For, even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they! have betrayed thee, Even they, have cried after thee, with full voice,––Do not trust in them, though they speak unto thee, fair words.
⁷ I have forsaken mine own house, I have given up mine inheritance,––I have delivered the dearly beloved of my soul, into the hand of her enemies: ⁸ Mine inheritance, hath become to me, as a lion in a jungle,––She hath given forth against me her voice, For this cause, have I hated her. ⁹ Is it, a variegated bird of prey, that mine inheritance is to me? The birds of prey, are round about against her! Go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour. ¹⁰ Many shepherds, have laid waste my vineyard, They have trampled down my portion,––They have turned my coveted, portion into a desert of desolation: ¹¹ It hath been made, a desolation, It hath mourned unto me, as desolate,––All the land, hath become, a desolation, For, no, man, layeth it to heart. ¹² On all the bare heights in the wilderness, have come despoilers, For, the sword of Yahweh, hath devoured from one end of the land unto the other,––There is peace, for no, flesh! ¹³ They sowed, wheat, but, thorns, have they reaped, They have put themselves to pain, they shall not be profited,––Yea turn ye pale at your produce, Because of the glow of the anger of Yahweh.
¹⁴ Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning all my wicked, neighbours, who have been touching the inheritance, which I gave as an inheritance unto my people Israel,––Behold me! uprooting them from off their own soil, Whereas, the house of Judah, will I uproot out of their, midst. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after I bare uprooted them, I will again, have compassion upon them,––and will bring them back––Every man––to his own inheritance, and, Every man––to his own land. ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass––If they will, diligently learn, the ways of my people––To swear by my Name, [saying], By the life of Yahweh, As they taught my people to swear by Baal, Then shall they be built, in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But, if they will not hearken, Then will I Uproot that nation, Uproot, that I may destroy,––Declareth Yahweh.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Righteous [are] You, O Yahweh, When I plead towards you, Only, judgments do I speak with You, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers." ² You have planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near [are] You in their mouth, And far off from their reins." ³ And You, O Yahweh, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter." ⁴ Till when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He does not see our latter end.'" ⁵ For--with footmen you have run, And they weary you, And how do you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident--And how do you in the rising of Jordan!" ⁶ For even your brethren and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they--they called after you fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to you good things." ⁷ I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies." ⁸ Mine inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her." ⁹ A speckled fowl [is] Mine inheritance to Me? Is the fowl round about against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come you for food." ¹⁰ Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness--a desolation." ¹¹ He has made it become a desolation, The desolation has mourned unto Me, Desolated has been all the land, But there is no one laying it to heart." ¹² On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For the sword of Yahweh is consuming, From the end of the land even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh." ¹³ They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick--they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Yahweh." ¹⁴ Thus said Yahweh concerning all my evil neighbors, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people--Israel--to inherit:`Lo, I am plucking them from off their ground, And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst." ¹⁵ And it has been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land." ¹⁶ And it has come to pass, If they learn well the ways of My people, To swear by My name, `Yahweh lives,' As they taught My people to swear by Baal, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people." ¹⁷ And if they do not hearken, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying, An affirmation of Yahweh!'"

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort? ² They have been planted by you, they have taken root; they go on and give fruit: you are near in their mouths but far from their thoughts. ³ But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death. ⁴ How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways. ⁵ If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan? ⁶ For even your brothers, your father's family, even they have been untrue to you, crying loudly after you: have no faith in them, though they say fair words to you. ⁷ I have given up my house, I have let my heritage go; I have given the loved one of my soul into the hands of her haters. ⁸ My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her. ⁹ My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction. ¹⁰ The keepers of sheep have been the destruction of my vine-garden, crushing my heritage under their feet; they have made my fair heritage an unplanted waste; ¹¹ They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart. ¹² Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace. ¹³ Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord. ¹⁴ This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land. ¹⁶ And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.

THE PRAYER OF YIRME YAH
You are just, O Yah Veh, O that I plead with you - word to you of judgments! Why prospers the way of the wicked? Why are all they serene - who in dealing covertly, deal covertly? ² You planted them; yes, they root: they grow; yes, they work fruit: you are near in their mouth and far from their reins. ³ And you, O Yah Veh, know me: you see me and proof my heart toward you: tear them as flock for the slaughter and hallow them for the day of slaughter. ⁴ How long mourns the land? And the herbs of every field wither for their evil who settle therein? The animals are scraped away, and the flyers; because, they say, He sees not our final end. ⁵ If you run with them on foot, and they weary you, and how inflame you yourself with horses? And if in the land of shalom, wherein you confide, then how work you in the pomp of Yarden? ⁶ For even your brothers, and the house of your father - even they dealt covertly with you; yes, they called a multitude after you: trust them not, though they word good words to you. ⁷ I forsook my house; I abandoned my inheritance; I gave the beloved of my soul into the palm of her enemies: ⁸ To me, my inheritance is as a lion in the forest; she gives her voice against me: so I hate her. ⁹ To me, my inheritance is as a speckled swooper. Are the swoopers all around against her? Come, gather all the live beings of the field; come for food. ¹⁰ Many tenders ruin my vineyard; they trample my allotment; they give the allotment of my desire a desolate wilderness: ¹¹ they set it desolate; and desolate, it mourns to me; the whole land is desolated because no man sets it to heart. ¹² The ravagers come on all the barrens in the wilderness: for the sword of Yah Veh devours from the end of the land even to the end of the land - no shalom to any flesh. ¹³ They seed wheat; and harvest thorns: they wear out; they benefit not: and they shame of your produce because of the fuming wrath of Yah Veh. ¹⁴ Thus says Yah Veh against all my evil fellow tabernaclers, who touch the inheritance that I have my people Yisra El to inherit: behold, I uproot them from their soil; and uproot the house of Yah Hudah from among them. ¹⁵ And so be it, after I uproot them, I return and compassion them, return them - every man to his inheritance and every man to his land. ¹⁶ And so be it, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to oath by my name - Yah Veh lives! As they taught my people to oath by Baal; thus are they built midst my people. ¹⁷ And if they hearken not, In uprooting, I uproot and destroy that goyim - an oracle of Yah Veh.

1 H6662 You are righteous, H3068 Yahweh, H7378 when I contend H1696 with you; yet I would reason H4941 the cause H1870 with you: why does the way H7563 of the wicked H6743 prosper? H7951 why are all they at ease H899 who deal very H898 treacherously?

2 H5193 You have planted H8327 them, yes, they have taken root; H3212 they grow, H6213 yes, they bring forth H6529 fruit: H7138 you are near H6310 in their mouth, H7350 and far from H3629 their heart.

3 H3068 But you, Yahweh, H3045 know H7200 me; you see H974 me, and try H3820 my heart H5423 toward you: pull them out H6629 like sheep H2878 for the slaughter, H6942 and prepare H3117 them for the day H2028 of slaughter.

4 H776 How long shall the land H56 mourn, H6212 and the herbs H7704 of the whole country H3001 wither? H7451 for the wickedness H3427 of those who dwell H929 therein, the animals H5595 are consumed, H5775 and the birds; H559 because they said, H7200 He shall not see H319 our latter end.

5 H7323 If you have run H7273 with the footmen, H3811 and they have wearied H8474 you, then how can you contend H5483 with horses? H776 and though in a land H7965 of peace H982 you are secure, H6213 yet how will you do H3383 in the pride of the Jordan?

6 H251 For even your brothers, H1004 and the house H1 of your father, H898 even they have dealt treacherously H7121 with you; even they have cried H4392 aloud H310 after H539 you: don't believe H1696 them, though they speak H2896 beautiful words to you.

7 H5800 I have forsaken H1004 my house, H5203 I have cast H5159 off my heritage; H5414 I have given H3033 the dearly beloved H5315 of my soul H3709 into the hand H341 of her enemies.

8 H5159 My heritage H738 has become to me as a lion H3293 in the forest: H5414 she has uttered H8130 her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.

9 H5159 Is my heritage H6641 to me as a speckled H5861 bird H5861 of prey? are the birds H5439 of prey against her all around? H3212 Go, H622 assemble H2416 all the animals H7704 of the field, H857 bring H402 them to devour.

11 H7760 They have made H8076 it a desolation; H56 it mourns H8077 to me, being desolate; H776 the whole land H8074 is made desolate, H376 because no man H7760 lays H3820 it to heart.

12 H7703 Destroyers H935 have come H8205 on all the bare heights H4057 in the wilderness; H2719 for the sword H3068 of Yahweh H398 devours H7097 from the one end H776 of the land H7097 even to the other end H776 of the land: H1320 no flesh H7965 has peace.

13 H2232 They have sown H2406 wheat, H7114 and have reaped H6975 thorns; H2470 they have put themselves to pain, H3276 and profit H954 nothing: and you shall be ashamed H8393 of your fruits, H2740 because of the fierce H639 anger H3068 of Yahweh.

14 H559 Thus says H3068 Yahweh H7451 against all my evil H7934 neighbors, H5060 who touch H5159 the inheritance H5971 which I have caused my people H3478 Israel H5157 to inherit: H5428 behold, I will pluck them up from off H127 their land, H5428 and will pluck up H1004 the house H3063 of Judah H8432 from among them.

15 H310 It shall happen, after H5428 that I have plucked them up, H7725 I will return H7355 and have compassion H7725 on them; and I will bring them again, H376 every man H5159 to his heritage, H376 and every man H776 to his land.

16 H3925 It shall happen, if they will diligently H3925 learn H1870 the ways H5971 of my people, H7650 to swear H8034 by my name, H3068 As Yahweh H2416 lives; H3925 even as they taught H5971 my people H7650 to swear H1168 by Baal; H1129 then shall they be built H8432 up in the midst H5971 of my people.

17 H8085 But if they will not hear, H5428 then will I pluck H5428 up H1471 that nation, H5428 plucking up H5002 and destroying it, says H3068 Yahweh.

Go, assemble all the animals of the field, bring them to devour. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. ¹¹ They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart. ¹² Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace. ¹³ They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of the LORD. ¹⁴ Thus says the LORD against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: 'look, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ It shall happen, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. ¹⁶ It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, "As the LORD lives;" even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,'" says the LORD.

1 H6662 Righteous H3068 are you, O LORD, H3588 when H7378 I plead H389 with you: yet H1696 let me talk H4941 with you of your judgments: H4069 Why H1870 does the way H7563 of the wicked H6743 prosper? H3605 why are all H7951 they happy H899 that deal very H898 treacherously?

2 H5193 You have planted H1571 them, yes, H8327 they have taken root: H3212 they grow, H1571 yes, H6213 they bring H6213 forth H6529 fruit: H7138 you are near H6310 in their mouth, H7350 and far H3629 from their reins.

3 H3068 But you, O LORD, H3045 know H7200 me: you have seen H974 me, and tried H3820 my heart H854 toward H5423 you: pull H6629 them out like sheep H2873 for the slaughter, H6942 and prepare H3117 them for the day H2028 of slaughter.

4 H5704 How H5704 long H776 shall the land H56 mourn, H6212 and the herbs H3605 of every H7704 field H3001 wither, H7451 for the wickedness H3427 of them that dwell H929 therein? the beasts H5595 are consumed, H5775 and the birds; H3588 because H559 they said, H7200 He shall not see H319 our last end.

5 H3588 If H7323 you have run H7273 with the footmen, H3811 and they have wearied H349 you, then how H8474 can you contend H5483 with horses? H776 and if in the land H7965 of peace, H982 wherein you trusted, H349 they wearied you, then how H6213 will you do H1347 in the swelling H3383 of Jordan?

6 H1571 For even H251 your brothers, H1004 and the house H1 of your father, H1571 even H898 they have dealt treacherously H1571 with you; yes, H7121 they have called H4392 a multitude H310 after H539 you: believe H3588 them not, though H1696 they speak H2896 fair words to you.

7 H5800 I have forsaken H1004 my house, H5203 I have left H5159 my heritage; H5414 I have given H3033 the dearly beloved H5315 of my soul H3709 into the hand H341 of her enemies.

8 H5159 My heritage H738 is to me as a lion H3293 in the forest; H5414 it cries H6963 H5921 out against H5921 me: therefore H3651 H8130 have I hated it.

9 H5159 My heritage H6641 is to me as a speckled H5861 bird, H5861 the birds H5439 round H5921 about are against H3212 her; come H622 you, assemble H3605 all H2416 the beasts H7704 of the field, H857 come H402 to devour.

10 H7227 Many H7462 pastors H7843 have destroyed H3754 my vineyard, H947 they have trodden H2513 my portion H947 under foot, H5414 they have made H2532 my pleasant H2513 portion H8077 a desolate H4057 wilderness.

11 H7760 They have made H8074 it desolate, H8077 and being desolate H56 it mourns H3605 to me; the whole H776 land H8074 is made desolate, H3588 because H369 no H376 man H7760 lays H3820 it to heart.

12 H7703 The spoilers H935 are come H3605 on all H8205 high H4057 places through the wilderness: H2719 for the sword H3068 of the LORD H398 shall devour H7097 from the one end H776 of the land H7097 even to the other end H776 of the land: H369 no H1320 flesh H7965 shall have peace.

13 H2232 They have sown H2406 wheat, H7114 but shall reap H6975 thorns: H2470 they have put themselves to pain, H3276 but shall not profit: H954 and they shall be ashamed H8393 of your revenues H2740 because of the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD.

14 H3541 Thus H559 said H3068 the LORD H5921 against H3605 all H7451 my evil H7934 neighbors, H5060 that touch H5159 the inheritance H834 which H5971 I have caused my people H3478 Israel H5157 to inherit; H2005 Behold, H5428 I will pluck H127 them out of their land, H5428 and pluck H1004 out the house H3063 of Judah H8432 from among them.

15 H1961 And it shall come H310 to pass, after H5428 that I have plucked H7725 them out I will return, H7355 and have compassion H7725 on them, and will bring H7725 them again, H376 every man H5159 to his heritage, H376 and every man H776 to his land.

16 H1961 And it shall come H518 to pass, if H3925 they will diligently learn H1870 the ways H5971 of my people, H7650 to swear H8034 by my name, H3068 The LORD H2416 lives; H3925 as they taught H5971 my people H7650 to swear H1168 by Baal; H1129 then shall they be built H8432 in the middle H5971 of my people.

17 H518 But if H8085 they will not obey, H5428 I will utterly pluck H6 up and destroy H1471 that nation, H5002 said H3068 the LORD.

The beasts and birds are utterly destroyed, because the people said, God shall not see our ways. ⁵ Your feet run, and they cause you to faint; how will you prepare to ride upon horses? And you have been confident in the land of your peace? How will you do in the roaring of the Jordan? ⁶ For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; and they have cried out, they are gathered together in pursuit of you. Do not trust in them, though they shall speak fair words to you. ⁷ I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage; I have given My beloved one into the hands of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance has become to Me as a lion in a forest; she has uttered her voice against Me; therefore have I hated her. ⁹ Is not My inheritance to Me like a hyena's cave, or a cave round about her? Go, gather together all the wild beasts of the field, and let them come to devour her. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have defiled My portion, they have made My desirable portion a trackless wilderness. ¹¹ It is made a complete ruin: for My sake the whole land has been utterly ruined, because there is none that takes the matter to heart. ¹² The ravagers have come to every passage in the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other — 8no flesh has any peace. ¹³ Sow wheat, and reap thorns; their portions shall not profit them. Be ashamed of your boasting, because of your reproach before the Lord. ¹⁴ For thus says the Lord concerning all the evil neighbors that touch My inheritance, which I have divided to My people Israel: Behold, I will draw them away from their land, and I will cast out Judah from the midst of them. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after I have cast them out, that I will return and have mercy upon them, and will cause them to dwell everyone in his inheritance, and everyone in his land. ¹⁶ And it shall be, if they will indeed learn the way of My people, to swear by My name, saying, The Lord lives; as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall that nation be built in the midst of My people. ¹⁷ But if they will not return, then will I cut off that nation with utter ruin and destruction.

[that] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing? ² You have planted them, and they have taken root; they have begotten children, and become fruitful; you are near to their mouth, and far from their reins. ³ But you, Lord, know me; you have proved my heart before you; purify them for the day of their slaughter. ⁴ How long shall the land mourn, and the grass of the field wither, for the wickedness of them, that dwell in it? the beasts and birds are utterly destroyed; because [the people] said, God shall not see our ways. ⁵ Your feet run, and they cause you to faint; how will you prepare [to ride] upon horses? and you have been confident in the land of your peace? how will you do in the roaring of Jordan? ⁶ For even your brethren and the house of your father, even these have dealt treacherously with you; and they have cried out, they are gathered together in pursuit of you; trust not you in them, though they shall speak fair [words] to you. ⁷ I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given my beloved one into the hands of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance has become to me as a lion in a forest; she has uttered her voice against me; therefore have I hated her. ⁹ Is not my inheritance to me a hyaena's cave, or a cave round about her? Go you⌃, gather together all the wild beasts of the field, and let them come to devour her. ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have defiled my portion, they have made my desirable portion a trackless wilderness; ¹¹ it is made a complete ruin: for my sake the whole land has been utterly ruined, because there is none that lays [the matter] to heart. ¹² The ravagers are come to every passage in the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other: no flesh has any peace. ¹³ Sow wheat, and reap thorns; their portions shall not profit them: be ashamed of your boasting, because of reproach before the Lord. ¹⁴ For thus says the Lord, concerning all the evil neighbors that touch mine inheritance, which I have divided to my people Israel; Behold, I [will] draw them away from their land, and I will cast out Juda from the midst of them. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after I have cast them out, [that] I will return, and have mercy upon them, and will cause them to dwell every one in his inheritance, and every one in his land. ¹⁶ And it shall be, if they will indeed learn the way of my people, to swear by my name, [saying], The Lord lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall [that nation] be built in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they will not return, then will I cut off that nation with utter ruin and destruction.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jehovah, if I argued my case with you, you would prove to be right. Indeed, I must question you about matters of justice. Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why do dishonest people succeed with impunity? ² You plant them, and they take root. They grow and bear fruit. You are near their lips, but far from their mind. ³ But, you know me, Jehovah. You see what I do and how in my heart I love you. Drag them away like sheep to be butchered. Guard them until it is time for them to be slaughtered. ⁴ How long will our land be dry and the grass in every field be withered? Animals and birds are dying because of the wickedness of our people. These people say: »God does not see what we are doing.« ⁵ Jehovah says: »Jeremiah, if you get tired racing against people, how can you race against horses? If you cannot even stand up in open country, how will you manage in the thicket by the Jordan?« ⁶ »Even your relatives, members of your own family, have betrayed you. They join in the attacks against you. Do not trust them, even though they speak friendly words. ⁷ Jehovah says: »I have abandoned Israel. I have rejected my chosen nation. I have given the people I love into the power of their enemies. ⁸ »My chosen people have turned against me. Like a lion in the forest they have roared at me, and so I hate them. ⁹ »My chosen people are like a bird attacked from all sides by hawks. Call the wild animals to come and join in the feast! ¹⁰ »Many foreign rulers have destroyed my vineyard. They trampled down my fields and turned my beautiful land into a desert. ¹¹ »They made it a wasteland. It lies desolate before me. The whole land has become a desert, and no one cares. ¹² »Across the entire desert highlands people have come to plunder. Jehovah has sent war to destroy the entire land. No one can live in peace. ¹³ »My people planted wheat. They gathered weeds! They worked hard and got nothing for it. Because of my fierce anger their crops have failed.« ¹⁴ Jehovah says: »I have something to say about Israel's neighbors who have ruined the land I gave to my people Israel. I will take those wicked people away from their countries like an uprooted plant, and I will rescue Judah from them. ¹⁵ »But after I have taken them away I will have mercy on them. I will bring each nation back to its own land and to its own country. ¹⁶ »If with all their hearts they will accept the religion of my people and will swear: As Jehovah lives, as they once taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will also be a part of my people and will prosper. ¹⁷ »However if any nation will not obey I will completely uproot it and destroy it.« I, Jehovah, have spoken.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jeremiah’s Complaint about Justice You are righteous, LORD, even when I bring a complaint to you. But I want to discuss justice with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper, while all who are treacherous are at ease? ² You plant them and they take root, they grow and bear fruit. “You are near to us,” they say with their mouths, but the truth is that you’re far from their hearts. ³ You know me, LORD. You see me and test my thoughts toward you. Pull the wicked out like sheep for slaughter; set them apart for the day of butchering. ⁴ How long will the land mourn and the vegetation of every field dry up? Because of the wickedness of those who live in it, animals and birds are swept away. For they say, “He does not see our future.”
⁵ God’s Reply to JeremiahIndeed, if you run with others on foot, and they tire you out, how can you compete with horses? You are secure in a land at peace, but how will you do in the thicket of the Jordan? ⁶ Indeed, even your brothers and your father’s family conspire against you. Even they cry out after you loudly. Don’t believe them, even though they speak friendly words to you. ⁷ I’ll forsake my house, I’ll abandon my inheritance. I’ll give the beloved of my heart into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance has become like a lion in the forest to me. She roars at me; therefore, I hate her. ⁹ Is my inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to me? Are the other birds of prey all around her coming against her? Go, gather all the wild animals and bring them to devour it. ¹⁰ Many shepherds will destroy my vineyard. They’ll trample down my portion. They’ll turn my pleasant portion into a desolate desert. ¹¹ They’ll make it into a desolate place, and, desolate, it will cry out in mourning to me. The whole land will be desolate because no one takes it to heart. ¹² On all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will come. Indeed, a sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other. There will be no peace for any person. ¹³ They have sown wheat, but they have harvested thorns. They have tired themselves out, but they don’t show a profit. Now be disappointed about your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
¹⁴ God’s Word about Judah’s NeighborsThis is what the LORD says about all the wicked neighbors who strike out against the land I’ve given to my people Israel as their inheritance: “I’m about to uproot them from their land, and I’ll uproot the house of Judah from among them. ¹⁵ After I’ve uprooted them, I’ll again have compassion on them. I’ll return each one of them to his inheritance, and each one to his own land. ¹⁶ If they have learned the ways of my people well, to swear by my name: ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’ just as they once taught my people to swear by Baal, then they’ll be built up among my people. ¹⁷ But if they don’t listen, then I’ll completely uproot that nation and destroy it,” declares the LORD.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ You will be in the right, O Yahweh, when I complain to you. Even so, let me speak my claims with you. Why does the way of the wicked succeed? All those who deal treacherously with treachery are at ease. ² Not only do you plant them, they take root. They grow, but also they produce fruit. You are near in their mouths, but far from their _⌊inmost beings_⌋.* ³ But you, O Yahweh, you know me, you see me, and you test that my heart is with you. Tear them apart like sheep for the slaughtering, and set them apart for the day of slaughter. ⁴ _⌊How long_⌋* will the land mourn, and the vegetation of every field dry up, because of the wickedness of those who live in it? The animals and the birds* are swept away, because they have said, "He does not see our future." ⁵ "If you run with foot soldiers and they have made you weary, then how will you compete with horses? If you have fallen in _⌊a peaceful land_⌋,* then how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan? ⁶ For even your relatives, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you, even they call _⌊loudly_⌋* after you. You must not trust in them, though they speak kindly to you. ⁷ I have forsaken my house, I have abandoned my inheritance. I have given the beloved one of my _⌊heart_⌋* into the hand of her enemies. ⁸ My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest. She has lifted up against me her voice; _⌊therefore_⌋* I hate her. ⁹ The lair of the hyena is my inheritance to me, the birds of prey* are all around her. Go, gather all of the animals* of the field, bring them _⌊to come and devour_⌋.* ¹⁰ Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trampled down my plot of land. They have made _⌊my pleasant field_⌋* like the desert* of desolation. ¹¹ They have made it a desolation. Desolate, it mourns to me. All the land is made desolate, but there is no person taking it to heart. ¹² Upon all the barren heights in the desert* destroyers have come, for the sword of Yahweh devours, from one end of the land to the other end of the land, there is no peace for all flesh. ¹³ They have sown wheat and they have reaped thorns. They are exhausted, they do not profit. And they will be ashamed of your produce, because of _⌊the burning anger_⌋* of Yahweh." ¹⁴ Thus says Yahweh concerning all of the evil neighbors who touch the inheritance that I gave as an inheritance to my people Israel: "Look, I am about to drive them out from their land, and the house of Judah I will drive out from among them. ¹⁵ _⌊And then_⌋* after my driving them out, I will once again have compassion on them, and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land. ¹⁶ _⌊And then_⌋,* if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, '_⌊as Yahweh lives_⌋,'* even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will live in the midst of my people. ¹⁷ But if they do not listen, then _⌊I will completely uproot and destroy that nation_⌋."* _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper?

³ Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter and prepare them for the day of slaughter. ⁴ How long will the land mourn and the herbs of whole country wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the beasts are consumed and the birds, because they said, He will not see our latter end.
⁵ If you have run with the footmen and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the Jordan?
⁶ For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you, even they have cried aloud after you. Believe them not, though they speak fair words to you.

Nahe bist du in ihrem Munde, aber ferne von ihrem Herzen; ³ mich aber, HERR, kennst du und siehst mich und prüfst mein Herz vor dir.

Und so du in dem Lande, da es Friede ist, Sicherheit suchst, was will mit dir werden bei dem stolzen Jordan? ⁶ Denn es verachten dich auch deine Brüder und deines Vaters Haus und schreien zeter! über dich.

1 H3068 HERR H7378 , wenn ich gleich mit dir rechten H6662 wollte, so behältst du doch recht H4941 ; dennoch muß ich vom Recht H1696 mit dir reden H1870 . Warum geht’s H7563 doch den Gottlosen H6743 so wohl H899 ; und die H898 Verächter H7951 haben H7951 alles die Fülle?

2 H5193 Du pflanzest H8327 sie, daß sie wurzeln H3212 und wachsen H6529 und Frucht H6213 bringen H7138 . Nahe H6310 bist du in ihrem Munde H7350 , aber ferne H3629 von ihrem Herzen;

3 H3068 mich aber, HERR H3045 , kennst H7200 du und siehst H974 mich und prüfst H3820 mein Herz H5423 vor dir. Reiße H5423 sie weg H6629 wie Schafe H2878 , daß sie geschlachtet H3117 H6942 werden; sondere H2028 sie aus, daß sie gewürgt werden.

4 H776 Wie lange soll doch das Land H56 so jämmerlich H6212 stehen und das Gras H7704 auf dem Felde H3001 allenthalben verdorren H3427 um der Einwohner H7451 Bosheit H929 willen, daß beide, Vieh H5775 und Vögel H5595 , nimmer H5595 da sind H559 ? denn sie sprechen H7200 : Ja, er weiß H7200 viel H319 , wie es uns gehen H319 wird .

5 H3811 Wenn dich die müde H7273 machen, die zu H7273 Fuße H7323 gehen H8474 , wie will H8474 dir’s gehen H5483 , wenn du mit H5483 den Reitern H776 laufen sollst? Und so du in dem Lande H7965 , da es Friede H982 ist, Sicherheit H982 suchst H6213 , was will H6213 mit dir werden H1347 bei H1347 dem stolzen H3383 Jordan ?

6 H898 Denn es verachten H251 dich auch deine Brüder H1 und deines Vaters H1004 Haus H7121 und schreien H310 H4392 zeter H539 ! über dich. Darum vertraue H2896 du ihnen nicht, wenn sie gleich freundlich H1696 mit dir reden .

7 H1004 Ich habe mein Haus H5800 verlassen H5159 müssen und mein Erbe H5203 meiden H5315 , und was meine Seele H3033 liebt H341 , in der Feinde H3709 Hand H5414 geben .

8 H5159 Mein Erbe H738 ist mir geworden wie ein Löwe H3293 im Walde H6963 H5414 und brüllt H8130 wider mich; darum bin ich ihm gram geworden.

9 H5159 Mein Erbe H6641 ist wie der sprenklige H5861 Vogel H5439 , um H5861 welchen sich die Vögel H3212 sammeln. Wohlauf H622 , sammelt H7704 H2416 euch, alle Feldtiere H857 , kommet H402 und fresset .

10 H7462 Es haben Hirten H7227 , und deren viel H3754 , meinen Weinberg H7843 verderbt H2513 und meinen Acker H947 zertreten H2532 ; sie haben meinen schönen H2513 Acker H4057 zur Wüste H5414 gemacht H8077 , sie haben’s öde gemacht.

11 H7760 Ich sehe bereits, wie H56 es so jämmerlich H8076 H8074 verwüstet H776 ist; ja das ganze Land H8077 ist wüst H376 . Aber es will’s niemand H3820 zu Herzen H7760 nehmen .

12 H7703 Denn die Verstörer H935 fahren H935 daher H8205 über alle Hügel H4057 der Wüste H398 , und das fressende H2719 Schwert H3068 des HERRN H7097 von einem Ende H776 des Landes H7097 H776 bis zum andern H1320 ; und kein Fleisch H7965 wird Frieden haben.

13 H2232 Sie säen H2406 Weizen H6975 , aber Disteln H7114 werden sie ernten H2470 ; sie lassen’s sich sauer H2470 werden H3276 , aber sie werden’s nicht H3276 genießen H8393 ; sie werden ihres Einkommens H954 nicht H954 froh H2740 werden vor dem grimmigen H639 Zorn H3068 des HERRN .

14 H559 So spricht H3068 der HERR H7451 wider alle meine bösen H7934 Nachbarn H5159 , so das Erbteil H5060 antasten H5971 , das ich meinem Volk H3478 Israel H5157 ausgeteilt H127 habe: Siehe, ich will sie aus ihrem Lande H5428 ausreißen H1004 und das Haus H3063 Juda H5428 aus H8432 ihrer H8432 Mitte H5428 reißen .

15 H310 Und wenn H5428 ich sie nun ausgerissen H7725 habe, will ich mich wiederum H7355 über sie erbarmen H376 und will einen jeglichen H5159 zu seinem Erbteil H776 und in sein Land H7725 wiederbringen .

16 H1870 Und soll geschehen, wo sie von H5971 meinem Volk H3925 lernen H7650 werden, daß sie schwören H8034 bei meinem Namen H3068 : »So wahr der HERR H2416 lebt H5971 !,« wie sie zuvor mein Volk H3925 gelehrt H7650 haben schwören H1168 bei Baal H8432 , so sollen sie unter H5971 meinem Volk H1129 erbaut werden.

17 H8085 Wo sie aber nicht hören H5428 wollen, so will H1471 ich solches Volk H5428 ausreißen H6 und umbringen H5002 , spricht H3068 der HERR .

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Seigneur, vous êtes juste; aussi je me défendrai devant vous; je vous demanderai justice. Pourquoi la voie des impies est-elle prospère? pourquoi ceux qui vous ont répudié sont-ils florissants? ² Vous les avez plantés, et ils ont pris racine; ils ont engendré, et ils ont produit des fruits. Vous êtes près de leur bouche, et loin de leurs reins. ³ Et vous, Seigneur, vous me connaissez, vous avez devant vous éprouvé mon coeur; purifiez-les pour le jour de leur égorgement. ⁴ Jusques à quand la terre sera-t-elle en deuil avec des pâturages et des champs desséchés par la malice de ceux qui l’habitent? Les oiseaux et le bétail ont été détruits, parce que les hommes ont dit: Dieu ne verra point nos voies. ⁵ Tes pieds courent, et te voilà énervé; comment feras-tu donc pour combattre des cavaliers et te confier dans une terre de paix? Que feras-tu contre les débordements du Jourdain? ⁶ Tes frères eux-mêmes et la maison de ton père t’ont méprisé; ils ont eux-mêmes crié contre toi, ils se sont donc unis à ceux qui te poursuivaient par derrière; ne te fie pas à eux, quoiqu’ils te disent de belles paroles. ⁷ ¶ J’ai abandonné ma maison; j’ai renoncé à mon héritage; j’ai livré aux mains de ses ennemis celle qui était ma bien-aimée et ma vie. ⁸ Mon héritage est devenu contre moi comme le lion dans une forêt; il a rugi contre moi; à cause de cela je l’ai pris en haine. ⁹ Mon héritage est-il pour moi un antre d’hyène ou l’enceinte d’une caverne? Allez, rassemblez toutes les bêtes fauves de la terre, et qu’elles viennent dévorer mon héritage. ¹⁰ Maints pasteurs ont ravagé ma vigne; ils ont souillé mon partage; ils ont fait de ma part bien-aimée un désert sans chemin. ¹¹ Elle a été livrée au ravage et à la dévastation. Toute la terre a été frappée de ruine à cause de moi, parce que nul homme n’a souci de moi en son coeur. ¹² Ceux qui la dévastaient sont venus par toutes les voies du désert, parce que le glaive du Seigneur va dévorer la terre d’une extrémité à l’autre; il n’est plus de paix pour aucune chair. ¹³ Semez des froments, et vous récolterez des chardons; leur part d’héritage ne leur rapportera rien; soyez confondus à cause de votre orgueil et de vos outrages à la face du Seigneur. ¹⁴ ¶ Car ainsi parle le Seigneur contre tous les méchants voisins qui touchent à mon héritage, que j’ai distribué à mon peuple d’Israël: Voilà que je vais les arracher de leur terre, et je rejetterai Juda du milieu d’eux. ¹⁵ Et voici ce qui arrivera: après les avoir bannis, je changerai, et j’aurai pitié d’eux, et je les ferai rentrer dans leurs demeures, chacun dans son héritage et chacun dans son champ. ¹⁶ Et ceci arrivera encore: s’ils s’instruisent, s’ils apprennent la voie de mon peuple, et à jurer en mon nom: Vive le Seigneur! comme ils avaient enseigné mon peuple à jurer par le nom de Baal, ils seront édifiés au milieu de mon peuple. ¹⁷ Et s’il est une de ces nations qui ne se convertisse pas, je la détruirai, et elle sera perdue à jamais.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Éternel! tu es juste quand je conteste avec toi; toutefois je parlerai avec toi de tes jugements. Pourquoi la voie des méchants est-elle prospère? Pourquoi ceux qui agissent très-perfidement sont-ils en paix? ² Tu les as plantés, même ils prennent racine; ils progressent, même ils portent du fruit. Tu es près, dans leur bouche, mais tu es loin de leurs reins. ³ Mais toi, Éternel! tu me connais, tu m'as vu, et tu as éprouvé mon coeur à ton égard. Traîne-les comme des brebis à la tuerie, et mets-les à part pour le jour de la tuerie. ⁴ Jusques à quand le pays mènera-t-il deuil et l'herbe de tous les champs séchera-t-elle? A cause de l'iniquité de ceux qui y habitent, le bétail et les oiseaux périssent; car ils disent: Il ne verra pas notre fin. ⁵ Si tu as couru avec les piétons, et qu'ils t'aient lassé, comment rivaliseras-tu avec les chevaux? Et si, dans une terre de paix, tu te crois en sécurité, que feras-tu quand le Jourdain sera enflé? ⁶ Car tes frères aussi et la maison de ton père, eux aussi ont agi perfidement envers toi, eux aussi ont crié après toi à plein gosier? Ne les crois point, même s'ils te disent de bonnes paroles. ⁷
J'ai abandonné ma maison, j'ai délaissé mon héritage, j'ai livré le bien-aimé de mon âme en la main de ses ennemis. ⁸ Mon héritage m'est devenu comme un lion dans la forêt; il a fait retentir sa voix contre moi, c'est pourquoi je l'ai haï. ⁹ Mon héritage m'est comme un oiseau de proie tacheté; les oiseaux de proie sont contre lui, tout à l'entour. Venez, assemblez toutes les bêtes des champs, faites-les venir pour dévorer. ¹⁰ Plusieurs pasteurs ont gâté ma vigne, ils ont foulé mon lot, ils ont réduit le lot de mon désir en un désert aride; on en a fait une désolation; ¹¹ tout désolé, il mène deuil devant moi; toute la terre est dévastée, car personne ne la prend à coeur. ¹² Sur toutes les hauteurs dans le désert sont venus les destructeurs; car l'épée de l'Éternel dévore depuis un bout du pays jusqu'à l'autre bout du pays: il n'y a de paix pour aucune chair. ¹³ Ils ont semé du froment, et ils moissonnent des épines; ils se sont tourmentés, et ils n'en ont pas eu de profit: soyez confus du rapport de vos champs, à cause de l'ardeur de la colère de l'Éternel. ¹⁴
Ainsi dit l'Éternel contre tous mes mauvais voisins qui mettent la main sur l'héritage que j'ai fait hériter à mon peuple, à Israël: Voici, je les arracherai de dessus leur sol, et j'arracherai la maison de Juda du milieu d'eux. ¹⁵ Et il arrivera qu'après que je les aurai arrachés, je leur ferai de nouveau miséricorde et je les ferai retourner chacun à son héritage et chacun dans son pays. ¹⁶ Et il arrivera que, s'ils apprennent diligemment les voies de mon peuple, pour jurer par mon nom: L'Éternel est vivant! comme ils ont enseigné à mon peuple à jurer par Baal, ils seront édifiés au milieu de mon peuple. ¹⁷ Et s'ils n'écoutent pas, j'arracherai entièrement cette nation-là et je la ferai périr, dit l'Éternel.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Eternel, quand je contesterai avec toi, tu seras trouvé juste; mais toutefois j'entrerai en contestation avec toi. Pourquoi la voie des méchants a-t-elle prospéré; et pourquoi tous les perfides vivent-ils en paix ? ² Tu les as plantés, et ils ont pris racine; ils s'avancent, et fructifient. Tu es près de leur bouche, mais tu es loin de leurs reins. ³ Mais, ô Eternel! tu m'as connu, tu m'as vu, et tu as sondé quel est mon coeur envers toi. Traîne-les comme des brebis qu'on mène pour être égorgées, et prépare-les pour le jour de la tuerie. ⁴ Jusques à quand la terre mènera-t-elle deuil, et l'herbe de tous les champs séchera-t-elle à cause de la malice des habitants qui sont en la terre ? Les bêtes et les oiseaux ont été consumés par la disette, parce que ces méchants ont dit : on ne verra point notre dernière fin. ⁵ Si tu as couru avec les gens de pied, et qu'ils t'aient lassé, comment te mêleras-tu parmi les chevaux ? et si tu t'es cru en sûreté dans une terre de paix, que feras-tu lorsque le Jourdain sera enflé ? ⁶ Certainement tes frères mêmes, et la maison de ton père, ceux-là mêmes ont agi perfidement contre toi, eux-mêmes ont crié après toi à plein gosier; ne les crois point, quoiqu'ils te parlent aimablement. ⁷ J'ai abandonné ma maison, j'ai quitté mon héritage, ce que mon âme aimait le plus je l'ai livré en la main de ses ennemis. ⁸ Mon héritage m'a été comme un lion dans la forêt; il a jeté son cri contre moi, c'est pourquoi je l'ai en haine. ⁹ Mon héritage me sera-t-il donc comme l'oiseau peint ? les oiseaux ne sont-ils pas autour de lui ? Venez, assemblez-vous, vous tous les animaux des champs, venez pour le dévorer. ¹⁰ Plusieurs pasteurs ont gâté ma vigne, ils ont foulé mon partage, ils ont réduit mon partage désirable en un désert affreux. ¹¹ On l'a ravagé, et lui, tout désolé, a été en deuil devant moi; toute la terre a été ravagée, parce qu'il n'y a personne qui y fasse attention. ¹² Les destructeurs sont venus sur toutes les hautes places qui sont au désert, car l'épée de l'Eternel dévore depuis un bout du pays jusqu'à l'autre; il n'y a point de paix pour aucune chair. ¹³ Ils ont semé du froment, et ils moissonneront des épines; ils se sont peinés, et ils n'y profiteront rien; vous serez confus en vos revenus par l'ardeur de la colère de l'Eternel. ¹⁴ Ainsi a dit l'Eternel contre tous mes mauvais voisins, qui mettent la main sur l'héritage que j'ai fait hériter à mon peuple d'Israël : voici, je vais les arracher de leur pays, et j'arracherai la maison de Juda du milieu d'eux. ¹⁵ Mais il arrivera qu'après les avoir arrachés, j'aurai encore compassion d'eux, et je les ferai retourner chacun à son héritage, et chacun en son quartier. ¹⁶ Et il arrivera que s'ils apprennent bien les voies de mon peuple, pour jurer en mon Nom, l'Eternel est vivant, ainsi qu'ils ont enseigné à mon peuple à jurer par Bahal, ils seront édifiés parmi mon peuple. ¹⁷ Mais s'ils n'écoutent point, j'arracherai entièrement une telle nation, et la ferai périr, dit l'Eternel.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tu es trop juste, Eternel, pour que je conteste avec toi; Je veux néanmoins t'adresser la parole sur tes jugements: Pourquoi la voie des méchants est-elle prospère? Pourquoi tous les perfides vivent-ils en paix? ² Tu les as plantés, ils ont pris racine, Ils croissent, ils portent du fruit; Tu es près de leur bouche, Mais loin de leur coeur. ³ Et toi, Eternel, tu me connais, Tu me vois, tu sondes mon coeur qui est avec toi. Enlève-les comme des brebis qu'on doit égorger, Et prépare-les pour le jour du carnage! ⁴ Jusques à quand le pays sera-t-il dans le deuil, Et l'herbe de tous les champs sera-t-elle desséchée? A cause de la méchanceté des habitants, Les bêtes et les oiseaux périssent. Car ils disent: Il ne verra pas notre fin. - ⁵ Si tu cours avec des piétons et qu'ils te fatiguent, Comment pourras-tu lutter avec des chevaux? Et si tu ne te crois en sûreté que dans une contrée paisible, Que feras-tu sur les rives orgueilleuses du Jourdain? ⁶ Car tes frères eux-mêmes et la maison de ton père te trahissent, Ils crient eux-mêmes à pleine voix derrière toi. Ne les crois pas, quand ils te diront des paroles amicales. ⁷ J'ai abandonné ma maison, J'ai délaissé mon héritage, J'ai livré l'objet de mon amour aux mains de ses ennemis. ⁸ Mon héritage a été pour moi comme un lion dans la forêt, Il a poussé contre moi ses rugissements; C'est pourquoi je l'ai pris en haine. ⁹ Mon héritage a été pour moi un oiseau de proie, une hyène; Aussi les oiseaux de proie viendront de tous côtés contre lui. Allez, rassemblez tous les animaux des champs, Faites-les venir pour qu'ils le dévorent! ¹⁰ Des bergers nombreux ravagent ma vigne, Ils foulent mon champ; Ils réduisent le champ de mes délices En un désert, en une solitude. ¹¹ Ils le réduisent en un désert; Il est en deuil, il est désolé devant moi. Tout le pays est ravagé, Car nul n'y prend garde. ¹² Sur tous les lieux élevés du désert arrivent les dévastateurs, Car le glaive de l'Eternel dévore le pays d'un bout à l'autre; Il n'y a de paix pour aucun homme. ¹³ Ils ont semé du froment, et ils moissonnent des épines, Ils se sont fatigués sans profit. Ayez honte de ce que vous récoltez, Par suite de la colère ardente de l'Eternel. ¹⁴ Ainsi parle l'Eternel sur tous mes méchants voisins, Qui attaquent l'héritage que j'ai donné à mon peuple d'Israël: Voici, je les arracherai de leur pays, Et j'arracherai la maison de Juda du milieu d'eux. ¹⁵ Mais après que je les aurai arrachés, J'aurai de nouveau compassion d'eux, Et je les ramènerai chacun dans son héritage, Chacun dans son pays. ¹⁶ Et s'ils apprennent les voies de mon peuple, S'ils jurent par mon nom, en disant: L'Eternel est vivant! Comme ils ont enseigné à mon peuple à jurer par Baal, Alors ils jouiront du bonheur au milieu de mon peuple. ¹⁷ Mais s'ils n'écoutent rien, Je détruirai une telle nation, Je la détruirai, je la ferai périr, dit l'Eternel.

1 H6662 ¶ Tu es trop juste H3068 , Eternel H7378 , pour que je conteste H8799 H1696 avec toi ; Je veux néanmoins t’adresser la parole H8762 H4941 sur tes jugements H1870 : Pourquoi la voie H7563 des méchants H6743 est-elle prospère H8804 H898 ? Pourquoi tous les perfides H8802 H899 H7951 vivent-ils en paix H8804 ?

2 H5193 Tu les as plantés H8804 H8327 , ils ont pris racine H8776 H3212 , Ils croissent H8799 H6213 , ils portent H8804 H6529 du fruit H7138 ; Tu es près H6310 de leur bouche H7350 , Mais loin H3629 de leur cœur.

3 H3068 Et toi, Eternel H3045 , tu me connais H8804 H7200 , Tu me vois H8799 H974 , tu sondes H8804 H3820 mon cœur H5423 qui est avec toi. Enlève H8685 H6629 -les comme des brebis H2878 qu’on doit égorger H6942 , Et prépare H8685 H3117 -les pour le jour H2028 du carnage !

4 H776 Jusques à quand le pays H56 sera-t-il dans le deuil H8799 H6212 , Et l’herbe H7704 de tous les champs H3001 sera-t-elle desséchée H8799 H7451 ? A cause de la méchanceté H3427 des habitants H8802 H929 , Les bêtes H5775 et les oiseaux H5595 périssent H8804 H559 . Car ils disent H8804 H7200 : Il ne verra H8799 H319 pas notre fin. —

8 H5159 Mon héritage H738 a été pour moi comme un lion H3293 dans la forêt H5414 , Il a poussé contre moi ses rugissements H8804 H6963 H8130 ; C’est pourquoi je l’ai pris en haine H8804 .

11 H7760 Ils le réduisent H8804 H8076 en un désert H56 ; Il est en deuil H8804 H8077 , il est désolé H776 devant moi. Tout le pays H8074 est ravagé H8738 H376 , Car nul H7760 n’y prend garde H8802 H3820 .

12 H8205 Sur tous les lieux élevés H4057 du désert H935 arrivent H8804 H7703 les dévastateurs H8802 H2719 , Car le glaive H3068 de l’Eternel H398 dévore H8802 H776 le pays H7097 d’un bout H7097 à l’autre H776 H7965 ; Il n’y a de paix H1320 pour aucun homme.

14 H559 ¶ Ainsi parle H8804 H3068 l’Eternel H7451 sur tous mes méchants H7934 voisins H5060 , Qui attaquent H8802 H5159 l’héritage H5157 que j’ai donné H8689 H5971 à mon peuple H3478 d’Israël H5428 : Voici, je les arracherai H8802 H127 de leur pays H5428 , Et j’arracherai H8799 H1004 la maison H3063 de Juda H8432 du milieu d’eux.

15 H310 Mais après H5428 que je les aurai arrachés H8800 H7725 , J’aurai de nouveau H8799 H7355 compassion H8765 H7725 d’eux, Et je les ramènerai H8689 H376 chacun H5159 dans son héritage H376 , Chacun H776 dans son pays.

16 H3925 Et s’ils apprennent H8800 H3925 H8799 H1870 les voies H5971 de mon peuple H7650 , S’ils jurent H8736 H8034 par mon nom H3068 , en disant : L’Eternel H2416 est vivant H3925 !

Faltaron los ganados, y las aves; porque dijeron: No verá él nuestras postrimerías. ⁵ Si corriste con los de a pie, y te cansaron, ¿cómo contenderás con los caballos?

Venid, reuníos, vosotras todas las bestias del campo, venid a devorarla. ¹⁰ Muchos pastores destruyeron mi viña, hollaron mi heredad, tornaron en desierto y soledad mi heredad preciosa. ¹¹ La tornó en asolamiento, lloró contra mí, asolada; fue asolada toda la tierra, porque no hubo hombre que mirara. ¹² Sobre todos los lugares altos del desierto vinieron disipadores; porque la espada del SEÑOR devorará desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro; no hay paz para ninguna carne. ¹³ Sembraron panes, y segarán espinas; tuvieron la heredad, mas no aprovecharon nada; se avergonzarán a causa de vuestros frutos por la ira del SEÑOR. ¹⁴ Así dijo el SEÑOR contra todos mis malos vecinos, que tocan la heredad que hice heredar a mi pueblo Israel: He aquí que yo los arrancaré de su tierra, y arrancaré de en medio de ellos la casa de Judá. ¹⁵ Y será que, después que los hubiere arrancado, tornaré y tendré misericordia de ellos, y los haré volver cada uno a su heredad, y cada cual a su tierra. ¹⁶ Y será que, si cuidadosamente aprendieren los caminos de mi pueblo, para jurar en mi Nombre, diciendo: Vive el SEÑOR, así como enseñaron a mi pueblo a jurar por Baal; ellos serán prosperados en medio de mi pueblo. ¹⁷ Mas si no oyeren, arrancaré a los tales gentiles, arrancando de raíz, y desterrándolos, dice el SEÑOR.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ti je i drejtë, o Zot, si mund të diskutoj me ty? Megjithatë do të flas me ty lidhur me gjykimet e tua. Pse udha e të pabesëve shkon mbarë?

Tërhiqi në thertore si dele dhe veçoji për ditën e kërdisë! ⁴ Deri kur do të mbajë zi vendi dhe do të thahet bari i çdo fushe? Nga shkaku i ligësisë së banorëve të tij, kafshët dhe zogjtë shfarosen, sepse ata thonë: "Ai nuk do ta shikojë fundin tonë". ⁵ Në rast se ti fugon me këmbësorët dhe ata të lodhin, si mund të hysh në garë me kuajt? Në rast se e ndjen veten të sigurt vetëm në një vend paqësor, çfarë do të bësh kur Jordani do të fryhet? ⁶ Sepse edhe vëllezërit e tu dhe shtëpia e atit tënd kanë vepruar në mënyrë të pabesë ndaj teje; edhe ata të bërtasin nga pas me zë të lartë.

Do t'u vijë turp nga korrja juaj, për shkak të zemërimit të fortë të Zotit! ¹⁴ Kështu thotë Zoti për të gjithë fqinjët e mi të këqij, që prekin trashëgiminë që i dhashë në zotërim popullit tim Izrael: "Ja, do t'i çrrënjos nga vendi i tyre dhe do të çrrënjos shtëpinë e Judës në mes të tyre. ¹⁵ Por ka për të ndodhur që, pasi t'i kem çrrënjosur, do të më vijë keq përsëri për ta dhe do ta çoj përsëri secilin në trashëgiminë e tij, secilin në vendin e tij. ¹⁶ Dhe ka për të ndodhur që, në rast se mësojnë me kujdes rrugët e popullit tim dhe në se betohen me emrin tim, duke thënë: "Zoti rron", ashtu siç e kanë mësuar popullin tim të betohet për Baalin, do të vendosen mirë e bukur në mes të popullit tim. ¹⁷ Por në rast se nuk do të dëgjojnë, unë do ta çrrënjos plotësisht atë komb dhe do ta shkatërroj", thotë Zoti.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Праведен будешь Ты, Господи, если я стану судиться с Тобою; и однако жебуду говорить с Тобою о правосудии: почему путь нечестивых благоуспешен, и все вероломные благоденствуют? ² Ты насадил их, и они укоренились, выросли и приносят плод. В устах их Ты близок, но далек от сердца их. ³ А меня, Господи, Ты знаешь, видишь меня и испытываешь сердце мое,каково оно к Тебе. Отдели их, как овец на заклание, и приготовь их на день убиения. ⁴ Долго ли будет сетовать земля, и трава на всех полях –сохнуть? скот и птицы гибнут за нечестие жителей ее, ибо они говорят: „Он не увидит, что с нами будет". ⁵ Если ты с пешими бежал, и они утомили тебя, как же тебе состязаться с конями? и если в стране мирной ты был безопасен, то что будешь делать в наводнение Иордана? ⁶ Ибо и братья твои и дом отца твоего, и они вероломно поступают с тобою, и они кричат вслед тебя громким голосом. Не верь им, когда ониговорят тебе и доброе. ⁷ Я оставил дом Мой; покинул удел Мой; самое любезное для души Моейотдал в руки врагов его. ⁸ Удел Мой сделался для Меня как лев в лесу; возвысил на Меня голос свой: за то Я возненавидел его. ⁹ Удел Мой стал у Меня, как разноцветная птица, на которую со всех сторон напали другие хищные птицы. Идите, собирайтесь, все полевые звери: идите пожирать его. ¹⁰ Множество пастухов испортили Мой виноградник, истоптали ногами участок Мой; любимый участок Мой сделали пустою степью; ¹¹ сделали его пустынею, и в запустении он плачет предо Мною; вся земля опустошена, потому что ни один человек не прилагает этого к сердцу. ¹² На все горы в пустыне пришли опустошители; ибо меч Господа пожирает все от одного края земли до другого: нет мира ни для какой плоти. ¹³ Они сеяли пшеницу, а пожали терны; измучились, и не получили никакой пользы; постыдитесь же таких прибытков ваших по причине пламенного гнева Господа. ¹⁴ Так говорит Господь обо всех злых Моих соседях, нападающих на удел, который Я дал в наследие народу Моему, Израилю: вот, Я исторгну их из земли их, и дом Иудин исторгну из среды их. ¹⁵ Но после того, как Я исторгну их, снова возвращу ипомилую их, и приведу каждого в удел его и каждого в землю его. ¹⁶ И если они научатся путям народа Моего, чтобы клясться именем Моим: „жив Господь!", как они научили народ Мой клясться Ваалом, то водворятся среди народа Моего. ¹⁷ Если же не послушаются, то Я искореню и совершенно истреблю такой народ, говорит Господь.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Праведен си, ГОСПОДИ, когато споря с Теб. Но нека поговоря с Теб за присъдите Ти. Защо успява пътят на безбожните и благоденстват всички, които вършат коварства? ² Насадил си ги и те даже се закорениха, растат и даже принасят плод. Ти си близо в устата им, но далеч от сърцата им. ³ Но Ти, ГОСПОДИ, ме познаваш, виждаш ме и изпитваш сърцето ми спрямо Теб. Отдели ги като овце за клане и ги приготви за деня, когато ще бъдат заклани. ⁴ Докога ще жалее страната и ще съхне тревата на цялото поле? Заради злината на жителите й загинаха животните и птиците, защото казаха: Той няма да види края ни. ⁵ Ако тичаш с пешаците и те те изморят, то как ще се надпреварваш с конете? И ако се чувстваш сигурен само в мирна земя, какво ще правиш в прииждането на Йордан? ⁶ Защото и братята ти и бащиният ти дом, и те постъпиха невярно с теб, и те извикаха след теб с пълно гърло. Не им вярвай, когато ти говорят добро. ⁷ Напуснах дома Си, отхвърлих наследството Си, предадох любимото на душата Си в ръката на враговете му. ⁸ Наследството Ми стана за Мен като лъв в гора, надигна гласа си против Мен, затова го намразих. ⁹ Наследството Ми е за Мен като пъстра хищна птица, хищните птици отвред са против него. Идете, съберете всичките полски зверове, докарайте ги за ядене. ¹⁰ Много пастири развалиха лозето Ми, потъпкаха дела Ми, обърнаха скъпоценния Ми дял в пустинна степ. ¹¹ Направиха го пустош; опустошен жалее пред Мен; цялата земя е опустошена, защото никой не взе присърце. ¹² По всички голи височини на пустинята дойдоха разорители, защото мечът на ГОСПОДА пояжда от единия край на земята до другия край на земята. Няма мир за никоя плът. ¹³ Сяха жито, но пожънаха тръни; трудиха се, но няма да се ползуват. И ще се посрамите от произведенията си пред пламенния гняв на ГОСПОДА. ¹⁴ Така казва ГОСПОД за всичките ми зли съседи, които посягат на наследството, което дадох за притежание на народа Си, на Израил: Ето, ще ги изтръгна от земята им и ще изтръгна юдовия дом отсред тях. ¹⁵ И след като ги изтръгна, отново ще им окажа милост и ще ги върна, всеки в наследството му и всеки в земята му. ¹⁶ И ако добре научат пътя на Моя народ, да се кълнат в Името Ми: Жив е ГОСПОД! — както те научиха Моя народ да се кълне във Ваал — тогава и те ще се съградят сред народа Ми. ¹⁷ Но ако не послушат, ще изтръгна онзи народ, ще изтръгна и изтребя, заявява ГОСПОД.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Prepravedan si, Jahve, da bih se mogao s tobom parbiti. Samo bih jedno s tobom raspravio: Zašto je put zlikovaca uspješan? Zašto podmuklice uživaju mir? ² Ti si ih posadio, i oni se ukorijeniše, rastu i plod donose. Al' si bliz samo ustima njihovim, a daleko im od srca. ³ No ti, Jahve, mene poznaješ i vidiš; ispitao si srce moje, ono je s tobom. Odvedi ih kao jagnjad na klanje, sačuvaj ih za dan pokolja. ⁴ Dokle će zemlja tugovati, dokle će trava na svem polju sahnuti? Zbog opačine njezinih stanovnika ugiba stoka i ptice! Jer govore: Bog ne vidi naših putova. ⁵ Ako s pješacima trčeći sustaješ, kako ćeš se s konjima utrkivati? Kad ni u mirnoj zemlji nemaš uzdanja, kako ćeš onda kroz guštare jordanske? ⁶ Jer su i braća tvoja i obitelj tvoja licemjerni prema tebi! I oni te iza leđa ocrnjuju na sva usta. Ne vjeruj im kad ti zbore umilno. ⁷ Ostavih dom svoj, napustih baštinu svoju; miljenicu srca svoga dadoh u ruke dušmana njenih. ⁸ Baština moja postade za me kao lav u šumi. Zarikao je na me, zato ga zamrzih. ⁹ Zar je baština moja šarena ptica oko koje odasvud druge slijeću? Hajde, skupite se, sve divlje zvijeri, dođite žderati. ¹⁰ Mnogi pastiri opustošiše moj vinograd, zgaziše nasljedstvo moje; dragu mi baštinu pretvoriše u golu pustinju, ¹¹ pretvoriše u pustoš, žalosna je pustoš preda mnom. Sva je zemlja pusta jer nikog u srce ne dira. ¹² Preko svih goleti pustinjskih nagrnuše pustošnici. Jer u Jahve je mač što proždire: s jednog kraja zemlje do drugog nema mira nijednome tijelu. ¹³ Sijahu pšenicu, a požeše trnje: iscrpli se bez koristi. Stide se uroda svoga sve zbog jarosti Jahvine. ¹⁴ Ovako govori Jahve: "Sve zle susjede svoje, koji su dirnuli u baštinu što sam je dao narodu svome Izraelu, ja ću iščupati iz zemlje njihove. Ali dom Judin iščupat ću isred njih. ¹⁵ A kad ih iščupam, ponovo ću im se smilovati i povesti natrag, svakoga na baštinu i zemlju njegovu. ¹⁶ Pa ako doista nauče putove naroda mojega i stanu se zaklinjati imenom mojim - 'Živoga mi Jahve' - kao što su učili moj narod da se zaklinje Baalom, tada će se opet nastaniti usred naroda moga. ¹⁷ Ako pak ne poslušaju, onda ću takav narod potpuno iščupati i zatrti" - riječ je Jahvina.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Spravedlivý zůstaneš, Hospodine, povedu-li odpor proti tobě, a však o soudech tvých mluviti budu s tebou. Proč se cestě bezbožníků šťastně vede? Mají pokoj všickni, kteříž se pyšně zpronevěřili. ² Štěpuješ je, ano i vkořeňují se; rostou, ano i ovoce nesou ti, jejichžto úst blízko jsi, ale daleko od ledví jejich. ³ Ale ty, Hospodine, znáš mne, prohlédáš mne, a zkusils srdce mého, že s tebou jest, onyno pak táhneš jako ovce k zabíjení, a připravuješ je ke dni zabití. ⁴ Dokudž by žalostila země, a bylina všeho pole svadla pro zlost přebývajících v ní, a hynulo každé hovado i ptactvo? Nebo říkají: Nevidíť Bůh skončení našeho. ⁵ Poněvadž tebe s pěšími běžícího k ustání přivodí, kterakž bys tedy stačil při koních? A poněvadž v zemi pokojné, jíž jsi se dověřil, ustáváš, což pak spravíš při tom zdutém Jordánu? ⁶ Nebo i bratří tvoji i dům otce tvého zpronevěřili se tobě, a ti také povolávají za tebou plnými ústy. Nevěř jim, byť pak mluvili s tebou přátelsky. ⁷ Opustil jsem dům svůj, zavrhl jsem dědictví své, dal jsem to, což velice milovala duše má, v ruce nepřátel jeho. ⁸ Učiněno jest mi dědictví mé podobné lvu v lese, vydává proti mně hlas svůj, pročež ho nenávidím. ⁹ A což ptákem dravým jest mi dědictví mé? Což ptactvo vůkol bude proti němu? Jdětež nu, shromažďte se všecka zvířata polní, sejděte se k jídlu. ¹⁰ Mnozí pastýři zkazí vinici mou, pošlapají podíl můj, podíl mně velmi milý obrátí v poušť nejhroznější, ¹¹ Obrátí jej v pustinu. Kvíliti bude, spustošen jsa ode mne; spustne všecka tato země, nebo není žádného, kdo by to v srdci skládal. ¹² Na všecka místa vysoká po poušti potáhnou zhoubcové, meč zajisté Hospodinův zžíře od jednoho kraje země až do druhého, nebude míti pokoje žádné tělo. ¹³ Nasejí pšenice, ale trní žíti budou; bolestně to ponesou, že užitku nevezmou, a styděti se budou za úrody své pro prchlivost hněvu Hospodinova. ¹⁴ Takto praví Hospodin o všech mých sousedech zlých, jenž se dotýkají dědictví, kteréž jsem uvedl v dědictví lidu svému Izraelskému: Aj, já vypléním je z země jejich, když dům Judský vypléním z prostředku jejich. ¹⁵ Stane se však, když je vypléním, že se navrátím a smiluji se nad nimi, a přivedu zase jednoho každého z nich k dědictví jeho, a jednoho každého do země jeho. ¹⁶ Stane se také, jestliže by se pilně učili cestám lidu mého, a přisahali by ve jménu mém, říkajíce: Živť jest Hospodin, jakž oni učívali lid můj přisahati skrze Bále, že vzděláni budou u prostřed lidu mého. ¹⁷ Jestliže by pak neposlouchali, tedy pléniti budu národ ten ustavičně a hubiti, dí Hospodin.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ HERRE! du er retfærdig, naar jeg vil trætte med dig; jeg vil kun tale med dig om Ret: Hvorfor er de ugudeliges Vej lykkelig? hvorfor ere alle de troløse saare trygge? ² Du plantede dem, de sloge ogsaa Rødder, de gaa frem, de have ogsaa baaret Frugt; du er nær i deres Mund, men langt borte fra deres Indre. ³ Men du, HERRE! du kender mig, du ser mig og prøver mit Hjertelag imod dig; bortryk dem som Faar til at slagtes og indvi dem til Drabsdagen! ⁴ Hvor længe skal Landet sørge; og Urterne paa al Marken tørres hen for deres Ondskabs Skyld; som bo der, ere Dyr og Fugle omkomne; thi de sige: Han ser ikke, hvorledes vor sidste Tid vil blive. ⁵ Naar du løb med Fodgængere, og de gjorde dig træt: Hvorledes vil du da kunne kappes med Heste og i Fredens Land føler du dig vel tryg, men hvorledes vil du gøre det ved Jordans Stolthed? ⁶ Thi ogsaa dine Brødre og din Faders Hus, ogsaa disse ere troløse imod dig, ogsaa disse skrige med fuld Røst efter dig; tro dem ikke, naar de tale godt til dig. ⁷ Jeg har forladt mit Hus, opgivet min Arv; jeg har givet min Sjæls elskelige i hendes Fjenders Haand. ⁸ Min Arv er bleven mig som en Løve i Skoven; den har opløftet sin Røst imod mig, derfor hader jeg den. ⁹ Er min Arv bleven mig som en spraglet Rovfugl? Rovfuglene omringe den; gaar, samler alle vilde Dyr paa Marken, lader dem komme at æde! ¹⁰ Mange Hyrder have ødelagt min Vingaard, de have nedtraadt min Ager; de have gjort den Ager, der var min Lyst, til en Øde. ¹¹ Man har gjort den aldeles øde, den sørger over for mig, der den er øde; alt Landet er ødelagt, thi ingen lagde sig det paa Hjerte. ¹² Ødelæggere ere komne over alle nøgne Høje i Ørken; thi HERREN har et Sværd, der fortærer fra Jordens ene Ende og indtil Jordens anden Ende; intet Kød har Fred. ¹³ De saaede Hvede og høstede Torne, de gjorde sig Møje, men det gavner dem ikke, og de skamme sig over deres Indtægt, for HERRENS brændende Vredes Skyld. ¹⁴ Saa siger HERREN imod alle mine onde Naboer, der antaste den Arv, som jeg har tildelt mit Folk Israel: Se, jeg oprykker dem af deres Land og oprykker Judas Hus af deres Midte. ¹⁵ Og det skal ske, efter at jeg har oprykket dem, da vil jeg komme igen og forbarme mig over dem; og jeg vil føre dem tilbage, hver til sin Arv og hver til sit Land. ¹⁶ Og det skal ske, dersom de lære mit Folks Veje, saa de sværge ved mit Navn, "saa sandt som HERREN lever", ligesom de lærte mit Folk at sværge ved Baal: Da skulle de bygges midt iblandt mit Folk. ¹⁷ Men dersom de ikke høre, da vil jeg oprykke et saadant Folk, ja, oprykke og Ødelægge det, siger HERREN.

12 H7703 滅命的 H935 都來到 H4057 曠野 H8205 中一切淨光的高處 H3068 ；耶和華 H2719 的刀 H776 從地 H7097 這邊 H776 直到地 H7097 那邊 H398 盡行殺滅 H1320 。凡有血氣的 H7965 都不得平安。

13 H2232 他們種 H2406 的是麥子 H7114 ，收 H6975 的是荊棘 H2470 ；勞勞苦苦 H3276 卻毫無益處 H3068 。因耶和華 H2740 的烈 H639 怒 H8393 ，你們必為自己的土產 H954 羞愧。

14 H3068 耶和華 H559 如此說 H7451 ：一切惡 H7934 鄰 H5060 ，就是佔據 H5971 我使百姓 H3478 以色列 H5157 所承受 H5159 產業 H5428 的，我要將他們拔出 H127 本地 H3063 ，又要將猶大 H1004 家 H8432 從他們中間 H5428 拔出來。

15 H5428 我拔出 H310 他們以後 H7725 ，我必轉過來 H7355 憐憫 H7725 他們，把他們再帶回來 H376 ，各 H5159 歸本業 H376 ，各 H776 歸故土。

16 H3925 他們若殷勤 H3925 學習 H5971 我百姓 H1870 的道 H8034 ，指著我的名 H7650 起誓 H2416 說：我指著永生 H3068 的耶和華 H3925 起誓，正如他們從前教 H5971 我百姓 H1168 指著巴力 H7650 起誓 H1129 ，他們就必建立 H5971 在我百姓 H8432 中間。

17 H8085 他們若是不聽 H5428 ，我必 H5428 拔出 H1471 那國 H6 ，拔出而且毀滅 H3068 。這是耶和華 H5002 說的。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 耶和华啊，我与你争辩的时候，你显为义；但冇一件，我还要与你理论：恶人的道路为何亨通呢？大行诡诈的为何得安逸呢？ ² 你栽培了他们，他们也扎了根，长大，而且结果。他们的口是与你相近，心却与你远离。 ³ 耶和华啊，你晓得我，看见我，察验我向你是怎样的心。求你将他们拉出来，好象将宰的羊，叫他们等候杀戮的日子。 ⁴ 这地悲哀，通国的青草枯乾，要到几时呢？因其上居民的恶行，牲畜和飞鸟都灭绝了。他们曾说：他看不见我们的结局。 ⁵ 耶和华说：你若与步行的人同跑，尚且觉累，怎能与马赛跑呢？你在平安之地，虽然安稳，在约但河边的丛林要怎样行呢？ ⁶ 因为连你弟兄和你父家都用奸诈待你。他们也在你后边大声喊叫，虽向你说好话，你也不要信他们。 ⁷ 我离了我的殿宇，撇弃我的产业，将我心里所亲爱的交在他仇敌的手中。 ⁸ 我的产业向我如林中的狮子，他发声攻击我，因此我恨恶他。 ⁹ 我的产业向我岂如斑点的鸷鸟呢？鸷鸟岂在他四围攻击他呢？你们要去聚集田野的百兽，带来吞吃罢！ ¹⁰ 许多牧人毁坏我的葡萄园，践踏我的分，使我美好的分变为荒凉的旷野。 ¹¹ 他们使地荒凉；地既荒凉，便向我悲哀。全地荒凉，因无人介意。 ¹² 灭命的都来到旷野中一切净光的高处；耶和华的刀从地这边直到地那边尽行杀灭。凡冇血气的都不得平安。 ¹³ 他们种的是麦子，收的是荆棘；劳劳苦苦却毫无益处。因耶和华的烈怒，你们必为自己的土产羞愧。 ¹⁴ 耶和华如此说：一切恶邻，就是占据我使百姓以色列所承受产业的，我要将他们拔出本地，又要将犹大家从他们中间拔出来。 ¹⁵ 我拔出他们以后，我必转过来怜悯他们，把他们再带回来，各归本业，各归故土。 ¹⁶ 他们若殷勤学习我百姓的道，指着我的名起誓说：我指着永生的耶和华起誓，正如他们从前教我百姓指着巴力起誓，他们就必建立在我百姓中间。 ¹⁷ 他们若是不听，我必拔出那国，拔出而且毁灭。这是耶和华说的。

1 H3068 耶和华 H7378 啊，我与你争辩 H6662 的时候，你显为义 H1696 ；但有一件，我还要与你理论 H7563 ：恶人 H1870 的道路 H6743 为何亨通 H899 呢？大 H898 行诡诈的 H7951 为何得安逸呢？

2 H5193 你栽培了 H8327 他们，他们也扎了根 H3212 ，长大 H6213 ，而且结 H6529 果 H6310 。他们的口 H7138 是与你相近 H3629 ，心 H7350 却与你远离。

3 H3068 耶和华 H3045 啊，你晓得 H7200 我，看见 H974 我，察验 H3820 我向你是怎样的心 H5423 。求你将他们拉出来 H2878 ，好象将宰 H6629 的羊 H6942 ，叫他们等候 H2028 杀戮 H3117 的日子。

4 H776 这地 H56 悲哀 H7704 ，通国 H6212 的青草 H3001 枯乾 H3427 ，要到几时呢？因其上居民 H7451 的恶行 H929 ，牲畜 H5775 和飞鸟 H5595 都灭绝了 H559 。他们曾说 H7200 ：他看不见 H319 我们的结局。

5 H7273 耶和华说：你若与步行的人 H7323 同跑 H3811 ，尚且觉累 H5483 ，怎能与马 H8474 赛跑 H7965 呢？你在平安 H776 之地 H982 ，虽然安稳 H3383 ，在约但 H1347 河边的丛林 H6213 要怎样行呢？

6 H251 因为连你弟兄 H1 和你父 H1004 家 H898 都用奸诈 H310 待你。他们也在你后边 H4392 大声 H7121 喊叫 H1696 ，虽向你说 H2896 好话 H539 ，你也不要信他们。

7 H5800 我离了 H1004 我的殿宇 H5203 ，撇弃 H5159 我的产业 H5315 ，将我心 H3033 里所亲爱的 H5414 交在 H341 他仇敌的 H3709 手中。

8 H5159 我的产业 H3293 向我如林 H738 中的狮子 H5414 ，他发 H6963 声 H8130 攻击我，因此我恨恶他。

9 H5159 我的产业 H6641 向我岂如斑点的 H5861 鸷鸟 H5861 呢？鸷鸟 H5439 岂在他四围 H622 攻击他呢？你们要去聚集 H7704 田野 H2416 的百兽 H857 ，带来 H402 吞吃罢！

11 H7760 他们使 H8076 地荒凉 H8077 ；地既荒凉 H56 ，便向我悲哀 H776 。全地 H8074 荒凉 H376 ，因无人 H7760 介 H3820 意。

12 H7703 灭命的 H935 都来到 H4057 旷野 H8205 中一切净光的高处 H3068 ；耶和华 H2719 的刀 H776 从地 H7097 这边 H776 直到地 H7097 那边 H398 尽行杀灭 H1320 。凡有血气的 H7965 都不得平安。

13 H2232 他们种 H2406 的是麦子 H7114 ，收 H6975 的是荆棘 H2470 ；劳劳苦苦 H3276 却毫无益处 H3068 。因耶和华 H2740 的烈 H639 怒 H8393 ，你们必为自己的土产 H954 羞愧。

14 H3068 耶和华 H559 如此说 H7451 ：一切恶 H7934 邻 H5060 ，就是占据 H5971 我使百姓 H3478 以色列 H5157 所承受 H5159 产业 H5428 的，我要将他们拔出 H127 本地 H3063 ，又要将犹大 H1004 家 H8432 从他们中间 H5428 拔出来。

15 H5428 我拔出 H310 他们以后 H7725 ，我必转过来 H7355 怜悯 H7725 他们，把他们再带回来 H376 ，各 H5159 归本业 H376 ，各 H776 归故土。

16 H3925 他们若殷勤 H3925 学习 H5971 我百姓 H1870 的道 H8034 ，指着我的名 H7650 起誓 H2416 说：我指着永生 H3068 的耶和华 H3925 起誓，正如他们从前教 H5971 我百姓 H1168 指着巴力 H7650 起誓 H1129 ，他们就必建立 H5971 在我百姓 H8432 中间。

17 H8085 他们若是不听 H5428 ，我必 H5428 拔出 H1471 那国 H6 ，拔出而且毁灭 H3068 。这是耶和华 H5002 说的。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Vi estos prava, ho Eternulo, kiam mi procesos kun Vi; tamen mi parolos kun Vi pri justeco:kial la vojo de malpiuloj estas sukcesa kaj cxiuj perfiduloj vivas trankvile? ² Vi plantis ilin, kaj ili ricevis fortajn radikojn, ili kreskas kaj donas fruktojn; proksima Vi estas en ilia busxo, sed malproksima de ilia interno. ³ Sed min, ho Eternulo, Vi konas; Vi vidis kaj esploris, kia estas mia koro koncerne Vin.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Herra, jos minä vielä kävisin sinun kanssas oikeudelle, niin sinä kuitenkin löydetään hurskaaksi; kuitenkin puhun minä sinun kanssas oikeudesta. Miksi käy jumalattomille niin hyvin, ja suurilla ylönannetuilla on kaikkinaista kyllä? ² Sinä istutat heitä juurtumaan, kasvamaan ja kantamaan hedelmän; sinä olet läsnä heidän suussansa, vaan kaukana heidän sydämestänsä. ³ Mutta minun sinä, Herra, tunnet, näet minun ja tutkistelet sydämeni sinun edessäs; tempaa heitä niinkuin lampaita teuraaksi tehtää, ja pyhitä heitä tappamisen päiväksi. ⁴ Kuinka kauvan siis pitää maan niin surkiasti oleman, ja ruohon kaikissa paikoissa kedolla kuivuman? asuvaisten pahuuden tähden, että sekä eläimet että linnut katoovat; sillä he sanovat: hän kyllä vähän tietää, kuinka meille tästälähin käy. ⁵ Jos ne, jotka jalkaisin käyvät, väsyttävät teidät, kuinka siis silloin käy, kuin sinun täytyy hevosmiesten kanssa juosta? Ja jos sinä etsit niissä maakunnissa suruttomuutta, joissa rauha on, mitä sinulle on tapahtuva sen ylpiän Jordanin tykönä? ⁶ Sillä sinun veljes ja isäs huone ovat myös sinua vastaan petolliset ja pitittävät sinua täydellä kurkulla; sentähden älä usko heitä, jos he vielä ystävällisesti sinun kanssas puhuvat. ⁷ Minun täytyy antaa minun huoneeni ylön, ja paeta minun perintöäni, ja antaa minun rakkaan sieluni vihollisten käsiin. ⁸ Minun perintöni on tullut minulle niinkuin jalopeura metsässä, ja räyskyy minua vastaan, sentähden vihaan minä häntä. ⁹ Minun perintöni on niinkuin kirjava lintu, jonka ympärille linnut heitänsä kokoovat; nouskaat ja kootkaat teitänne kaikki eläimet kedolla, tulkaat ja syökäät. ¹⁰ Monet paimenet ovat hävittäneet minun viinamäkeni, ja sotkuneet minun sarkani; he ovat tehneet minun kauniin sarkani korveksi ja autioksi. ¹¹ (Minä näen jo kaiketi) kuinka surkiasti hän on hävitetty, että koko maa on kylmillä; mutta ei yksikään sitä pannut sydämeensä. ¹² Sillä hävittäjät tulevat kaikille kukkuloille korvessa, ja Herran miekka kuluttaa yhdestä maan äärestä niin toiseen, ja ei yhdelläkään lihalla pidä rauhaa oleman. ¹³ He kylvävät nisuja, mutta heidän pitää ohdakkeita niittämän, he tekevät itsellensä paljon vaivaa, mutta ei heidän pidä sitä nautitseman, eikä iloitseman vuoden tulostansa, Herran julman vihan tähden. ¹⁴ Näin sanoo Herra kaikkia minun pahoja kyläni miehiä vastaan, jotka tarttuvat minun perintööni, jonka minä kansalleni Israelille jakanut olen: katso, minä revin heitä ylös heidän maastansa, ja otan ulos Juudan huoneen juuri heidän keskeltänsä. ¹⁵ Ja pitää tapahtuman, että kuin minä olen heidän ottanut ulos, armahdan minä jälleen heitä, ja annan kullekin oman perintönsä ja maansa jälleen. ¹⁶ Ja se on tapahtuva, jos he minun kansastani kaiketi oppivat vannomaan minun nimeni kautta (niin totta kuin Herra elää), niinkuin he ennen minun kansani opettivat vannomaan Baalin kautta: niin pitää heitä myös rakennettaman minun kansani seassa. ¹⁷ Mutta jollei he kuule, niin minä totisesti revin ylös sen kansan, ja surmaan sen, sanoo Herra.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Sinä, Herra, olet vanhurskas; voisinko minä riidellä sinua vastaan? Kuitenkin minä kysyn sinulta, mikä oikeus on. Miksi jumalattomain tie menestyy? Miksi kaikki uskottomat saavat elää rauhassa? ² Sinä heidät istutat, he myös juurtuvat; he kasvavat, kantavat myös hedelmää. Heidän suussansa sinä olet lähellä, mutta kaukana heidän sisimmästään. ³ Mutta sinä, Herra, tunnet minut; sinä näet minut ja tutkit minun sydämeni, millainen se on sinun edessäsi. Tempaa heidät pois niinkuin lampaat teuraiksi ja vihi heidät tapon päivää varten. ⁴ Kuinka kauan täytyy maan surra ja kaiken kedon ruohon kuivettua? Eläimet ja linnut hukkuvat siinä asuvaisten pahuuden tähden; sillä nämä sanovat: "Ei tule hän näkemään meidän loppuamme". ⁵ "Jos sinä jalkamiesten kanssa juokset ja ne sinut väsyttävät, kuinka sinä kävisit kilpaan hevosten kanssa? Ja jos sinä vaarattomalla maalla oletkin turvassa, kuinka käy sinun Jordanin rantatiheikössä? ⁶ Sillä omat veljesikin ja isäsi huone ovat petolliset sinua kohtaan, hekin huutavat täyttä kurkkua selkäsi takana. Älä usko heitä, vaikka he sinua ystävällisesti puhuttelevat. ⁷ Minä olen jättänyt huoneeni, hyljännyt perintöosani; olen antanut sieluni rakkaimman hänen vihollistensa käsiin. ⁸ Hän, minun perintöosani, oli minulle kuin leijona metsässä, hän kiljui minua vastaan, sentähden minä vihastuin häneen. ⁹ Onko minun perintöosani kirjava petolintu, jonka ympärillä on petolintuja? Menkää, kootkaa kaikki metsän eläimet, tuokaa ne ruualle. ¹⁰ Monet paimenet ovat turmelleet minun viinitarhani, tallanneet minun peltopalstani, tehneet ihanan peltopalstani autioksi erämaaksi. ¹¹ Se on tehty autioksi, se suree minun edessäni autiona. Koko maa on hävitetty, sillä ei ollut ketään, joka olisi pannut sitä sydämelleen. ¹² Kaikkien erämaan kalliokukkulain ylitse tulivat hävittäjät, sillä Herran miekka syö maan toisesta äärestä hamaan toiseen; ei pelastu mikään, mikä lihaa on. ¹³ He ovat kylväneet nisuja ja niittäneet ohdakkeita; ovat nähneet vaivaa näännyksiin asti, saamatta hyötyä. Niinpä saakaa häpeä sadostanne Herran vihan hehkun tähden." ¹⁴ Näin sanoo Herra kaikista minun pahoista naapureistani, jotka koskevat siihen perintöosaan, minkä minä olen antanut kansalleni Israelille: "Katso, minä tempaan heidät pois heidän maastansa, ja Juudan heimon minä tempaan pois heidän keskeltänsä. ¹⁵ Mutta senjälkeen kuin minä olen temmannut heidät pois, minä jälleen armahdan heitä ja palautan heidät, itsekunkin perintöosaansa ja itsekunkin maahansa. ¹⁶ Ja jos he oppivat minun kansani tiet, niin että vannovat minun nimeeni: 'Niin totta kuin Herra elää', niinkuin he opettivat minun kansaani vannomaan Baalin kautta, niin heidät rakennetaan minun kansani keskeen. ¹⁷ Mutta jos he eivät kuule, niin minä tempaan pois ja hukutan sen kansan, sanoo Herra."

A benne lakók gonoszsága miatt pusztul el barom és madár; mert azt mondják: Nem látja meg a mi végünket! ⁵ Hogyha gyalogokkal futsz, és elfárasztanak téged: mimódon versenyezhetnél a lovakkal?

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ "Jika aku mengajukan perkaraku di hadapan-Mu, ya TUHAN, tentulah akan terbukti bahwa Engkaulah yang benar. Tapi aku ingin juga menanyakan kepada-Mu soal keadilan: Mengapa orang jahat makmur? Mengapa justru orang tak jujur yang berhasil? ² Kautanam mereka seperti tumbuh-tumbuhan, lalu mereka berakar, bertumbuh, dan berbuah. Mereka selalu berbicara yang baik-baik tentang diri-Mu, tetapi dalam hati, mereka sebenarnya tidak peduli kepada-Mu. ³ Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, mengenal aku. Engkau melihat apa yang kulakukan, dan Engkau mengetahui bagaimana perasaan hatiku terhadap-Mu. Giringlah orang-orang jahat itu keluar, bawalah mereka seperti domba ke pembantaian. Jagalah mereka sampai tiba waktunya mereka disembelih. ⁴ Sampai berapa lama lagi negeri ini kering, dan rumputnya layu di setiap ladang? Burung dan binatang lainnya mati karena kejahatan bangsa kami. Mereka berkata, bahwa aku tidak akan melihat nasib mereka." ⁵ TUHAN berkata, "Yeremia, jika engkau menjadi lelah berlomba dengan manusia, mana mungkin engkau berlomba dengan kuda? Jika di tanah yang aman engkau ketakutan, apakah yang akan kaulakukan apabila kau berada di hutan belukar di tepi Yordan? ⁶ Engkau sudah dikhianati bahkan oleh sanak saudaramu sendiri; mereka ikut menyerang engkau. Janganlah percaya kepada mereka, meskipun kata-kata mereka manis." ⁷ TUHAN berkata, "Tempat tinggal-Ku tidak lagi Kupedulikan, negeri yang menjadi milik-Ku telah Kutinggalkan, dan umat-Ku yang Kukasihi telah Kuserahkan ke tangan musuh-musuhnya. ⁸ Umat pilihan-Ku melawan Aku; seperti singa di rimba demikianlah mereka mengaum terhadap-Ku. Itulah sebabnya Aku membenci mereka. ⁹ Mereka seperti burung yang diserang oleh elang dari segala pihak. Panggillah segala binatang hutan untuk turut menghabiskan mereka. ¹⁰ Banyak penguasa asing telah merusak kebun anggur-Ku dan menginjak-injak ladang-ladang-Ku. Negeri-Ku yang indah mereka ubah menjadi padang gurun yang sepi. ¹¹ Ya, Aku melihat mereka menjadikan negeri-Ku tempat sepi yang menyedihkan. Seluruhnya terlantar, tak ada yang memperhatikan. ¹² Dari seberang padang gurun di pegunungan, orang-orang datang untuk merampok. Aku mendatangkan peperangan untuk merusak seluruh negeri sehingga tak seorang pun dapat hidup damai. ¹³ Umat-Ku menabur gandum, tapi durilah yang dituai. Mereka bersusah payah tapi usahanya tidak berhasil. Aku sangat murka sehingga panenan mereka gagal." ¹⁴ TUHAN berkata, "Inilah pesan-Ku tentang negara-negara tetangga Israel yang telah merusak negeri yang Kuberikan kepada umat-Ku Israel. Seperti tanaman yang dicabut dari tanah, demikianlah orang-orang jahat itu akan Kukeluarkan dari negeri-negeri mereka, dan Yehuda akan Kulepaskan dari genggaman mereka. ¹⁵ Tetapi setelah mengeluarkan mereka, Aku akan mengasihani mereka lagi; setiap bangsa akan Kubawa kembali ke negerinya sendiri. ¹⁶ Jika mereka dengan sepenuh hati mau menerima agama umat-Ku dan mau bersumpah dengan berkata, 'Demi TUHAN yang hidup,' --seperti dahulu mereka mengajar umat-Ku bersumpah demi Baal--maka mereka pun akan tergolong umat-Ku dan menjadi makmur. ¹⁷ Tetapi bangsa yang tidak mau menuruti Aku, akan Kucabut seperti tanaman dan Kupunahkan. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Signore, se io litigo teco, tu sei pur giusto; nondimeno io ti proporrò le mie ragioni: Perchè prospera la via degli empi? perchè sono a lor agio tutti quelli che procedono dislealmente? ² Tu li hai piantati, ed hanno messa radice; si avanzano, e fruttano; tu sei presso della lor bocca, ma lontano dalle lor reni. ³ Ma, o Signore, tu mi conosci, tu mi vedi, ed hai provato qual sia il mio cuore inverso te; strascinali, a guisa di pecore, al macello, e preparali per lo giorno dell’uccisione. ⁴ Infino a quando farà cordoglio il paese, e seccherassi l’erba di tutta la campagna, per la malvagità degli abitanti di quello? le bestie, e gli uccelli son venuti meno; perciocchè hanno detto: Iddio non vede il nostro fine. ⁵ Se, correndo co’ pedoni, essi ti hanno stanco, come ti rimescolerai co’ cavalli? e se hai sol fidanza in terra di pace, come farai, quando il Giordano sarà gonfio? ⁶ Perciocchè, eziandio i tuoi fratelli, e que’ della casa di tuo padre, si son portati dislealmente teco; ed essi ancora hanno a grida radunata la moltitudine dietro a te; non fidarti di loro, quando ti daranno buone parole. ⁷ IO ho lasciata la mia Casa, io ho abbandonata la mia eredità; io ho dato l’amor dell’anima mia nelle mani de’ suoi nemici. ⁸ La mia eredità mi è stata come un leone nel bosco; ha data fuori la sua voce contro a me; perciò l’ho odiata. ⁹ La mia eredità mi è stata come un uccello vaiolato; o uccelli, venite contro a lei d’ogn’intorno; andate, radunatevi, voi tutte le fiere della campagna, venite per mangiare. ¹⁰ Molti pastori han guasta la mia vigna, han calpestata la mia possessione, han ridotta la mia cara possessione in un deserto di desolazione. ¹¹ È stata ridotta in desolazione; e, tutta desolata, ha fatto cordoglio appo me; tutta la terra è desolata, perciocchè non vi è alcuno che ponga mente a queste cose. ¹² De’ guastatori son venuti sopra tutti i luoghi elevati nel deserto; perciocchè la spada del Signore divorerà da una estremità del paese infino all’altra; non vi è pace alcuna per veruna carne. ¹³ Han seminato del frumento, ed han ricolte delle spine; si sono affannati, e non hanno fatto alcun profitto; voi sarete confusi delle vostre rendite, per l’ardente ira del Signore. ¹⁴ Così ha detto il Signore contro a tutti i suoi malvagi vicini, che toccano l’eredità, la quale egli ha data a possedere ad Israele, suo popolo: Ecco, io li divellerò d’in sul lor paese, e divellerò la casa di Giuda del mezzo di loro. ¹⁵ Ed avverrà che dopo che io li avrò divelti, avrò di nuovo pietà di loro; e li ricondurrò, ciascuno alla sua eredità, e ciascuno alla sua terra. ¹⁶ Ed avverrà che, se pure imparano le vie del mio popolo per giurar per lo mio Nome, dicendo il Signore vive siccome hanno insegnato al mio popolo di giurare per Baal, saranno edificati in mezzo del mio popolo. ¹⁷ Ma se non ubbidiscono, io divellerò una cotal gente, divellendola, ed insieme distruggendola, dice il Signore.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tu sei giusto, o Eterno, quand’io contendo teco; nondimeno io proporrò le mie ragioni: Perché prospera la via degli empi? Perché son tutti a loro agio quelli che procedono perfidamente? ² Tu li hai piantati, essi hanno messo radice, crescono ed anche portano frutto; tu sei vicino alla loro bocca, ma lontano dal loro interiore. ³ E tu, o Eterno, tu mi conosci, tu mi vedi, tu provi qual sia il mio cuore verso di te. Trascinali al macello come pecore, e preparali per il giorno del massacro! ⁴ Fino a quando farà cordoglio il paese, e si seccherà l’erba di tutta la campagna? Per la malvagità degli abitanti, le bestie e gli uccelli sono sterminati. Poiché quelli dicono: "Egli non vedrà la nostra fine". ⁵ Se, correndo con de’ pedoni, questi ti stancano, come potrai lottare coi cavalli? E se non ti senti al sicuro che in terra di pace, come farai quando il Giordano sarà gonfio? ⁶ Perché perfino i tuoi fratelli e la casa di tuo padre ti tradiscono; anch’essi ti gridan dietro a piena voce; non li credere quando ti diranno delle buone parole. ⁷ Io ho lasciato la mia casa, ho abbandonato la mia eredità; ho dato quello che l’anima mia ha di più caro, nelle mani de’ suoi nemici. ⁸ La mia eredità è divenuta per me come un leone nella foresta; ha mandato contro di me il suo ruggito; perciò io l’ho odiata. ⁹ La mia eredità è stata per me come l’uccello rapace screziato; gli uccelli rapaci si gettan contro di lei da ogni parte. Andate, radunate tutte le bestie della campagna, fatele venire a divorare! ¹⁰ Molti pastori guastano la mia vigna, calpestano la porzione che m’è toccata, riducono la mia deliziosa porzione in un deserto desolato. ¹¹ La riducono in una desolazione; e, tutta desolata, fa cordoglio dinanzi a me; tutto il paese è desolato, perché nessuno lo prende a cuore. ¹² Su tutte le alture del deserto giungono devastatori, perché la spada dell’Eterno divora il paese da un’estremità all’altra; nessuna carne ha pace. ¹³ Han seminato grano, e raccolgono spine; si sono affannati senz’alcun profitto. Vergognatevi di ciò che raccogliete a motivo dell’ardente ira dell’Eterno! ¹⁴ Così parla l’Eterno contro tutti i miei malvagi vicini, che toccano l’eredità ch’io ho data a possedere al mio popolo d’Israele: Ecco, io li svellerò dal loro paese, svellerò la casa di Giuda di fra loro; ¹⁵ ma, dopo che li avrò divelti, avrò di nuovo compassione di loro, e li ricondurrò ciascuno nella sua eredità, ciascuno nel suo paese. ¹⁶ E se pure imparano le vie del mio popolo e a giurare per il mio nome dicendo: "l’Eterno vive", come hanno insegnato al mio popolo a giurare per Baal, saranno saldamente stabiliti in mezzo al mio popolo. ¹⁷ Ma, se non dànno ascolto, io svellerò quella nazione; la svellerò e la distruggerò, dice l’Eterno.

Tu esi arti jų burnos, bet toli nuo jų širdies. ³ Viešpatie, Tu pažįsti mane, ištyrei mano širdį ir žinai, kokia ji yra prieš Tave. Atskirk juos kaip avis pjauti, paruošk juos žudymo dienai! ⁴ Ar ilgai liūdės šalis ir džius lauko augalai? Dėl jos gyventojų nedorybių išnyko žvėrys ir paukščiai. Jie sakė: “Jis nematys mūsų galo”. ⁵ Jei tu bėgai su pėstininkais ir jie nuvargino tave, tai kaip lenktyniausi su žirgais?

Netikėk jais, nors jie kalba gražius žodžius. ⁷ Aš palikau savo namus, atsisakiau nuosavybės; kas mano sielai miela, atidaviau į priešo rankas. ⁸ Mano paveldėjimas pasidarė man kaip liūtas miške ir pakėlė savo balsą prieš mane, todėl ėmiau nekęsti jo. ⁹ Argi mano paveldėjimas margas paukštis, kad paukščiai apspitę puola jį?

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Sprawiedliwym zostaniesz, Panie! jeźli się z tobą rozpierać będę; a wszakże o sądach twoich z tobą mówić będę. Czemuż się droga niezbożnych szczęści? Czemuż spokojnie żyją wszyscy, którzy bardzo wystąpili przeciwko tobie? ² Wszczepiłeś ich, i rozkorzenili się; rosną i owoc wydawają ci, którycheś ust bliskim, ale dalekim od nerek ich. ³ Ale ty, Panie, znasz mię, wypatrujesz mię, a doświadczyłeś serca mego, że z tobą jest; ale onych ciągniesz jako owce na rzeź i gotujesz ich na dzień zabicia, i mówisz: ⁴ Dokądżeby ziemia płakać, a trawa na wszystkich polach schnąć miała? Dla złości mieszkających w niej giną wszystkie zwierzęta i ptastwo; bo mówią: Nie widzić Pan skończenia naszego. ⁵ Ponieważ cię z pieszymi bieżącego do ustania przywodzą, jakożbyś miał zdążyć przy koniach? a ponieważ w ziemi pokoju, w którejś ufał, ustawasz, a cóż sprawisz przy tej nadętości Jordanu? ⁶ Bo i bracia twoi i dom ojca twego przeniewierzyli się tobie, i ci także wołają za tobą pełnemi usty; ale nie wierzz im, choćby mówili z tobą po przyjacielsku. ⁷ Opuściłem dom swój, odrzuciłem dziedzictwo moje; dałem to, co miłowała dusza moja, w ręce nieprzyjaciół jego. ⁸ Stało mi się dziedzictwo moje jako lew w lesie; wydaje przeciwko mnie głos swój, przetoż go nienawidzę. ⁹ Izali ptakiem drapieżnym jest mi dziedzictwo moje?

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Justo és, ó Senhor, ainda quando eu pleiteio contigo; contudo pleitearei a minha causa diante de ti. Por que prospera o caminho dos ímpios? Por que vivem em paz todos os que procedem aleivosamente? ² Plantaste-os, e eles se arraigaram; medram, dão também fruto; chegado estás à sua boca, porém longe do seu coração. ³ Mas tu, ó Senhor, me conheces, tu me vês, e provas o meu coração para contigo; tira-os como a ovelhas para o matadouro, e separa-os para o dia da matança. ⁴ Até quando lamentará a terra, e se secará a erva de todo o campo? Por causa da maldade dos que nela habitam, perecem os animais e as aves; porquanto disseram: Ele não verá o nosso fim. ⁵ Se te fatigas correndo com homens que vão a pé, então como poderás competir com cavalos? Se foges numa terra de paz, como hás de fazer na soberba do Jordão? ⁶ Pois até os teus irmãos, e a casa de teu pai, eles mesmos se houveram aleivosamente contigo; eles mesmos clamam após ti em altas vozes. Não te fies neles, ainda que te digam coisas boas. ⁷ Desamparei a minha casa, abandonei a minha herança; entreguei a amada da minha alma na mão de seus inimigos. ⁸ Tornou-se a minha herança para mim como leão numa floresta; levantou a sua voz contra mim, por isso eu a odeio. ⁹ Acaso é para mim a minha herança como uma ave de rapina de varias cores? Andam as aves de rapina contra ela em redor? Ide, pois, ajuntai a todos os animais do campo, trazei-os para a devorarem. ¹⁰ Muitos pastores destruíram a minha vinha, pisaram o meu quinhão; tornaram em desolado deserto o meu quinhão aprazível. ¹¹ Em assolação o tornaram; ele, desolado, clama a mim. Toda a terra está assolada, mas ninguém toma isso a peito. ¹² Sobre todos os altos escalvados do deserto vieram destruidores, porque a espada do Senhor devora desde uma até outra extremidade da terra; não há paz para nenhuma carne. ¹³ Semearam trigo, mas segaram espinhos; cansaram-se, mas de nada se aproveitaram; haveis de ser envergonhados das vossas colheitas, por causa do ardor da ira do Senhor. ¹⁴ Assim diz o Senhor acerca de todos os meus maus vizinhos, que tocam a minha herança que fiz herdar ao meu povo Israel: Eis que os arrancarei da sua terra, e a casa de Judá arrancarei do meio deles. ¹⁵ E depois de os haver eu arrancado, tornarei, e me compadecerei deles, e os farei voltar cada um à sua herança, e cada um à sua terra. ¹⁶ E será que, se diligentemente aprenderem os caminhos do meu povo, jurando pelo meu nome: Vive o Senhor; como ensinaram o meu povo a jurar por Baal; então edificar-se-ão no meio do meu povo. ¹⁷ Mas, se não quiserem ouvir, totalmente arrancarei a tal nação, e a farei perecer, diz o Senhor.

Så ha da skam av eders grøde for Herrens brennende vredes skyld! ¹⁴ Så sier Herren om alle sine onde naboer, som forgriper sig på den arv han har gitt sitt folk Israel til eie: Se, jeg rykker dem op av deres land, og Judas hus vil jeg rykke op av deres midte. ¹⁵ Men når jeg har rykket dem op, da vil jeg atter forbarme mig over dem og la dem vende tilbake, hver til sin arv og hver til sitt land. ¹⁶ Og såfremt de lærer mitt folks veier, lærer å sverge ved mitt navn: Så sant Herren lever - likesom de har lært mitt folk å sverge ved Ba'al, da skal de bli opbygget midt iblandt mitt folk. ¹⁷ Men vil de ikke høre, da vil jeg rykke det folk op og tilintetgjøre det, sier Herren.

І буде вам сором за ваші плоди через лютість Господнього гніву! ¹⁴ Так говорить Господь про лихих усіх сусідів моїх, що вони дотикаються того спадку, що Я дав на спадщину народу Моєму Ізраїлеві: Ось Я повириваю їх з їхньої землі, і вирву дім Юдин з середини їхньої. ¹⁵ І станеться, як Я їх повириваю, то вернуся й помилую їх, і кожного з них приверну до спадщини його, і кожного до краю його. ¹⁶ І буде, якщо вони справді навчаться доріг народу Мого, щоб присягатися Йменням Моїм: Як живий Господь, як вони присягати навчили народ Мій Ваалом, то збудуються серед народу Мого! ¹⁷ А якщо не послухають, то вирву народ цей, вириваючи та вигубляючи, каже Господь!
