Then said
the LORD
unto me, Though Moses
and Samuel
stood
before
me, yet my mind
could not be toward this people:
cast them out
of my sight,
and let them go forth.
say
And it shall come to pass, if they say
unto thee, Whither shall we go forth?
then thou shalt tell
them, Thus saith
the LORD;
Such as are for death,
to death;
and such as are for the sword,
to the sword;
and such as are for the famine,
to the famine;
and such as are for the captivity,
to the captivity.
say
And I will appoint
over them four
kinds,
saith
the LORD:
the sword
to slay,
and the dogs
to tear,
and the fowls
of the heaven,
and the beasts
of the earth,
to devour
and destroy.

And I will cause
them to be removed
into all kingdoms
of the earth,
because
of Manasseh
the son
of Hezekiah
king
of Judah,
for that which he did
in Jerusalem.
For who shall have pity
upon thee, O Jerusalem?
or who shall bemoan
thee? or who shall go aside
to ask
how thou doest?
Thou hast forsaken
me, saith
the LORD,
thou art gone
backward:
therefore will I stretch out
my hand
against thee, and destroy
thee; I am weary
with repenting.
And I will fan
them with a fan
in the gates
of the land;
I will bereave
them of children, I will destroy
my people,
since they return
not from their ways.
Their widows
are increased
to me above the sand
of the seas:
I have brought
upon them against the mother
of the young men
a spoiler
at noonday:
I have caused him to fall
upon it suddenly,
and terrors
upon the city.
She that hath borne
seven
languisheth:
she hath given up
the ghost;
her sun
is gone
down while it was yet day:
she hath been ashamed
and confounded:
and the residue
of them will I deliver
to the sword
before
their enemies,
saith
the LORD.

Woe
is me, my mother,
that thou hast borne
me a man

and a man
of contention

I have neither lent on usury,
nor men have lent to me on usury;
yet every one of them doth curse
me.

The LORD
said,
Verily
it shall be well
with thy remnant;
verily
I will cause the enemy
to entreat
thee well in the time
of evil
and in the time
of affliction.
Shall iron
break

iron

Thy substance
and thy treasures
will I give
to the spoil
without price,
and that for all thy sins,
even in all thy borders.
And I will make thee to pass
with thine enemies
into a land
which thou knowest
not: for a fire
is kindled
in mine anger,
which shall burn
upon you.
O LORD,
thou knowest:
remember
me, and visit
me, and revenge
me of my persecutors;
take me not away
in thy longsuffering:
know
that for thy sake I have suffered
rebuke.

Thy words
were found,
and I did eat
them; and thy word
was unto me the joy
and rejoicing
of mine heart:
for I am called
by thy name,
O LORD
God
of hosts.
I sat
not in the assembly
of the mockers,
nor rejoiced;
I sat
alone
because
of thy hand:
for thou hast filled
me with indignation.
Why is my pain
perpetual,
and my wound
incurable,
which refuseth
to be healed?
wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar,
and as waters
that fail?
Therefore thus saith
the LORD,
If thou return,
then will I bring thee again,
and thou shalt stand
before
me: and if thou take forth
the precious
from the vile,
thou shalt be as my mouth:
let them return
unto thee; but return
not thou unto them.
And I will make
thee unto this people
a fenced
brasen
wall:
and they shall fight
against thee, but they shall not prevail
against thee: for I am with thee to save
thee and to deliver
thee, saith
the LORD.
