¹³ So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered them out of their distresse.

¹⁹ So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered the out of their distresse.

²⁸ So they crie vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuereth the out of their distresse.

¹⁰ Which smote dyuerse nacions, & slewe mightie kynges. ¹¹ Sihon kynge of ye Amorites, Og the kynge of Basan, and all the kyngdomes of Canaa.

²⁵ but all my coucels haue ye despysed, and set my correccios at naught. ²⁶ Therfore shal I also laugh in yor destruccion, and mocke you, when ye thinge that ye feare cometh vpon you: ²⁷ euen whe ye thinge that ye be afrayed of, falleth in sodenly like a storme, and yor misery like a tempest: yee wha trouble and heuynesse cometh vpon you.

¹³ He that hydeth his synnes, shall not prospere: but who so knowlegeth them and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.

¹ Euen so shal ye LORDE of hoostes take awaye fro Ierusale & Iuda, all possessios & power, all meat and drinke, ² ye captayne and the soudyare, ye iudge and the prophete, the wyse and the aged ma, ³ the worshipful of fiftie yeare olde, and the honorable: the Senatours, and men of vnderstondinge: the masters of craftes and oratours. ⁴ And I shal geue you children to be youre prynces (saieth the LORDE) and babes shall haue the rule of you. ⁵ One shall euer be doinge violence and wronge to another. The boye shal presume agaynst the elder, and the vyle persone agaynst the honorable. ⁶ Yee one shal take a frende of his owne kynred by ye bosome, and saye: thou hast clothinge, thou shalt be oure heade, for thou mayest kepe us from this fall and parell. ⁷ Then shall he sweare and saye: I can not helpe you. Morouer, there is nether meate ner clothinge in my house, make me no rueler of the people. ⁸ For Ierusalem and Iuda must decaye, because that both their wordes and councels are agaynst the LORDE, they prouoke the presence of his magesty vnto anger.

³ What will ye do in tyme of the visitacion and destruction, that shal come from farre? To whom will ye renne for helpe? or to whom will ye geue youre honoure, that he maye kepe it?

¹³ therfore shal ye haue this myschefe agayne for youre destruction and fall, like as an hie wall, that falleth because of some rift (or blast,) whose breakinge cometh sodenly.

¹² When kinges are called vpo, there shalbe none, and all princes shalbe awaye.

¹ Thus saieth the LORDE: Where is the bill of yor mothers deuorcemet, that I sent vnto her? or who is the vsurer, to who I solde you? Beholde, for youre owne offeces are ye solde: & because of youre transgression, is youre mother forsake.

⁹ In their troubles he forsoke the not, but the angel that went forth from his presence, delyuered them: Of very loue & kindnesse that he had vnto them, redemed he them. He hath borne them, and caried them vp euer, sence the worlde begane.

¹³ For my people hath done two euels. They haue forsake me the well of the water of life, and digged them pittes, yee vile and broken pittes, that holde no water.

²⁸ I shal answere the: Where are now thy goddes, that thou hast made the? byd them stonde vp, and helpe the in the tyme of nede? For loke how many cities thou hast (o Iuda) so many goddes hast thou also.

⁷ When I take in honde to rote out, to destroye, or to waist awaye eny people or kigdome: ⁸ yff that people (agaynst whom I haue thus deuysed) couerte from their wickednes: Immediatly, I repente off the plage, that I deuysed to bringe vpon the.

²⁰ Vpon this complaynte, I thought thus by myself: is not Ephraim my deare sonne? Is he not the childe, with whom I haue had all myrth and pastyme? For sence the tyme that I first comoned with him, I haue him euer in remembraunce: therfore my very herte dryueth me vnto him: gladly and louyngly will I haue mercy vpon him, saieth the LORDE.

²⁵ hast thou buylded the an aulter. Thou hast made thy beuty to be abhorred: thou hast layed out thy legges to euery one that came by, and multiplied thine whordome. ²⁶ Thou hast committed fornicacion with the Egipcians thy neghbours, which had moch flesh: & thus hast thou vsed thine whordome, to anger me.

³⁰ As for me, I wil iudge euery man, acordinge to his wayes, O ye house of Israel, saieth the LORDE God. Wherfore, be conuerted, and turne you clene from all youre wickednesse, so shal there no synne do you harme. ³¹ Cast awaye fro you all youre vngodlynesse, that ye haue done: make you new hertes and a new sprete. Wherfore wil ye dye, O ye house of Israel? ³² seynge I haue no pleasure in ye death of him that dyeth, saieth the LORDE God. Turne you then, and ye shal lyue.

⁸ What greate thinges haue I geuen the, o Ephraim? how faithfully haue I defended the, o Israel? haue I dealt with the as with Adama? or haue I intreated the like Seboim? No, my hert is otherwise mynded. Yee my mercy is to feruent:

¹ Tvrne the now (o Israel) vnto ye LORDE thy God, for thou hast taken a greate fall thorow thy wickednesse. ² Take these wordes with you, when ye turne to the LORDE, & saye vnto him: O forgeue vs all oure synnes, receaue vs graciously, & then wil we offre ye bullockes of oure lyppes vnto the. ³ Assur shalbe no more oure helper, nether will we ryde vpon horses eny more. As for the workes of oure hondes, we wil nomore call vpon them: For it is thou that art oure God, thou shewest euer mercy vnto the fatherlesse.

⁸ O Ephraim, what haue I to do with Idols eny more? I wil graciously heare him, & lede him forth. I wil be vnto the as a grene Fyrre tre, vpon me shalt thou fynde thy frute.

⁴ I thought that I had bene cast awaye out of thy sight: but I wil yet agayne loke towarde thy holy temple.

⁸ They that holde of vayne vanyties, wil forsake his mercy.

⁹ Who can tell? God maye turne, and repete, and cease from his fearce wrath, that we perish not.

² The LORDE is a gelous God, and a taker of vengeaunce: yee a taker of vegeaunce is ye LORDE, and wrothfull. The LORDE taketh vengeaunce of his enemies, and reserueth displeasure for his aduersaries.

⁶ Who maye endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abyde his grymme displeasure? His anger taketh on like fyre, and the harde rockes burst in sunder before him.

²⁰ And he gat him vp, & came vnto his father. But whan he was yet a greate waye of, his father sawe him, and had copassion, and ranne, and fell aboute his neck, and kyssed him.

⁴¹ And whan he was come neare, he behelde the cite, and wepte vpo it,

³⁴ & sayde: Where haue ye layed him? They sayde: LORDE come, & se it.

³² But be ye curteous one to another, mercifull, and forgeue one another, eue as God hath forgeuen you in Christ.

³ For whan they shal saye: Tush, It is peace, there is no daunger, then shall soden destruccion come vpo the, euen as the payne of a woman trauaylinge with childe, and they shal not escape.

¹⁰ Wherfore I was greued wt that generacion, and sayde: They erre euer in their hertes. But they knewe not my wayes,

¹⁵ For we haue not an hye prest which ca not haue copassion on or infirmities, but was in all poyntes tepted, like as we are, but without synne.

²⁹ By faith they passed thorow the reed See as by drye londe: which wha the Egipcians assayed to do, they were drowned.

⁸ Yf we saye that we haue no synne, we disceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs. ⁹ But yf we knowlege oure synnes, he is faithfull and iust to forgeue vs oure synnes, & to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes. ¹⁰ Yf we saye, we haue not synned, we make him a lyar, and his worde is not in vs.
