At that time,
saith
the LORD,
they shall bring out
the bones
of the kings
of Judah,
and the bones
of his princes,
and the bones
of the priests,
and the bones
of the prophets,
and the bones
of the inhabitants
of Jerusalem,
out of their graves:
And they shall spread
them before the sun,
and the moon,
and all the host
of heaven,
whom they have loved,
and whom they have served,
and after
whom they have walked,
and whom they have sought,
and whom they have worshipped:
they shall not be gathered,
nor be buried;
they shall be for dung
upon the face
of the earth.

And death
shall be chosen
rather than life
by all the residue
of them that remain
of this evil
family,
which remain
in all the places
whither I have driven
them, saith
the LORD
of hosts.
Moreover thou shalt say
unto them, Thus saith
the LORD;
Shall they fall,
and not arise?
shall he turn away,
and not return?
Why then is this people
of Jerusalem
slidden back
by a perpetual
backsliding?
they hold
fast deceit,
they refuse
to return.

How do ye say,
We are wise,
and the law
of the LORD
is with us? Lo, certainly
in vain
made
he it; the pen
of the scribes
is in vain.
The wise
men are ashamed,
they are dismayed
and taken:
lo, they have rejected
the word
of the LORD;
and what wisdom
is in them?
Therefore will I give
their wives
unto others,
and their fields
to them that shall inherit
them: for every one from the least
even unto the greatest
is given
to covetousness,
from the prophet
even unto the priest
every one dealeth
falsely.
For they have healed
the hurt
of the daughter
of my people
slightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace;
when there is no peace.
Were they ashamed
when they had committed
abomination?
nay, they were not at all
ashamed,
neither could
they blush:
therefore shall they fall
among them that fall:
in the time
of their visitation
they shall be cast down,
saith
the LORD.
I will surely
consume
them, saith
the LORD:
there shall be no grapes
on the vine,
nor figs
on the fig tree,
and the leaf
shall fade;
and the things that I have given
them shall pass away
from them.

to drink,
because we have sinned
against the LORD.

the whole land

that is in it; the city,
and those that dwell
therein.

When I would comfort

Behold the voice
of the cry
of the daughter
of my people

Is not the LORD

is not her king
in her? Why have they provoked me to anger
with their graven images,
and with strange
vanities?

is not the health
of the daughter
of my people
recovered?
