Verses 1401–1500 of 1655 (page 15 of 17)
וְלֹא שָׁמַע הוּא וַעֲבָדָיו וְעַם הָאָרֶץ אֶל-דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִֽיא׃
But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
וְיִרְמְיָהוּ בָּא וְיֹצֵא בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם וְלֹֽא-נָתְנוּ אֹתוֹ בֵּית (הכליא) הַכְּלֽוּא׃
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
וַיֵּצֵא יִרְמְיָהוּ מִירוּשָׁלִַם לָלֶכֶת אֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן לַחֲלִק מִשָּׁם בְּתוֹךְ הָעָֽם׃
Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּהוּ מֶה חָטָאתִֽי לְךָ וְלַעֲבָדֶיךָ וְלָעָם הַזֶּה כִּֽי-נְתַתֶּם אוֹתִי אֶל-בֵּית הַכֶּֽלֶא׃
Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
וַיִּשְׁמַע שְׁפַטְיָה בֶן-מַתָּן וּגְדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-פַּשְׁחוּר וְיוּכַל בֶּן-שֶׁלֶמְיָהוּ וּפַשְׁחוּר בֶּן-מַלְכִּיָּה אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר יִרְמְיָהוּ מְדַבֵּר אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם לֵאמֹֽר׃
Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַשָּׂרִים אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ יוּמַת נָא אֶת-הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה כִּֽי-עַל-כֵּן הֽוּא-מְרַפֵּא אֶת-יְדֵי אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַֽנִּשְׁאָרִים׀ בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וְאֵת יְדֵי כָל-הָעָם לְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה כִּי׀ הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֵינֶנּוּ דֹרֵשׁ לְשָׁלוֹם לָעָם הַזֶּה כִּי אִם-לְרָעָֽה׃
Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
וְאֶת-בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-בֵּית הָעָם שָׂרְפוּ הַכַּשְׂדִּים בָּאֵשׁ וְאֶת-חֹמוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַם נָתָֽצוּ׃
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר וְאֶת-הַנֹּֽפְלִים אֲשֶׁר נָפְלוּ עָלָיו וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּזַר-אֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים בָּבֶֽל׃
Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
וּמִן-הָעָם הַדַּלִּים אֲשֶׁר אֵין-לָהֶם מְאוּמָה הִשְׁאִיר נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם כְּרָמִים וִֽיגֵבִים בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ וַיִּקְחוּ אֶֽת-יִרְמְיָהוּ מֵחֲצַר הַמַּטָּרָה וַיִּתְּנוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן לְהוֹצִאֵהוּ אֶל-הַבָּיִת וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּתוֹךְ הָעָֽם׃
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
וְעוֹדֶנּוּ לֹֽא-יָשׁוּב וְשֻׁבָה אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה בֶן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן אֲשֶׁר הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְשֵׁב אִתּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם אוֹ אֶל-כָּל-הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לָלֶכֶת לֵךְ וַיִּתֶּן-לוֹ רַב-טַבָּחִים אֲרֻחָה וּמַשְׂאֵת וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵֽהוּ׃
Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
וַיָּבֹא יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָה בֶן-אֲחִיקָם הַמִּצְפָּתָה וַיֵּשֶׁב אִתּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
וַיִּשְׁבְּ׀ יִשְׁמָעֵאל אֶת-כָּל-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם אֲשֶׁר בַּמִּצְפָּה אֶת-בְּנוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-כָּל-הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בַּמִּצְפָּה אֲשֶׁר הִפְקִיד נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם וַיִּשְׁבֵּם יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וַיֵּלֶךְ לַעֲבֹר אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אֶת-יִשְׁמָעֵאל אֶת-יֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וְאֵת כָּל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַיִּשְׂמָֽחוּ׃
Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
וַיָּסֹבּוּ כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-שָׁבָה יִשְׁמָעֵאל מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ אֶל-יֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵֽחַ׃
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
וַיִּקַּח יוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וְכָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ אֵת כָּל-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב מֵאֵת יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה אַחַר הִכָּה אֶת-גְּדַלְיָה בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם גְּבָרִים אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה וְנָשִׁים וְטַף וְסָרִסִים אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב מִגִּבְעֽוֹן׃
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
וַֽיִּגְּשׁוּ כָּל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים וְיֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וִֽיזַנְיָה בֶּן-הוֹשַֽׁעְיָה וְכָל-הָעָם מִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדֽוֹל׃
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
וַיִּקְרָא אֶל-יֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וְאֶל כָּל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וּלְכָל-הָעָם לְמִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדֽוֹל׃
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹת יִרְמְיָהוּ לְדַבֵּר אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם אֲלֵיהֶם אֵת כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
וְלֹֽא-שָׁמַע יוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וְכָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים וְכָל-הָעָם בְּקוֹל יְהוָה לָשֶׁבֶת בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָֽה׃
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
וַיַּעֲנוּ אֶֽת-יִרְמְיָהוּ כָּל-הָאֲנָשִׁים הַיֹּֽדְעִים כִּֽי-מְקַטְּרוֹת נְשֵׁיהֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְכָל-הַנָּשִׁים הָעֹמְדוֹת קָהָל גָּדוֹל וְכָל-הָעָם הַיֹּשְׁבִים בְּאֶֽרֶץ-מִצְרַיִם בְּפַתְרוֹס לֵאמֹֽר׃
Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם עַל-הַגְּבָרִים וְעַל-הַנָּשִׁים וְעַל-כָּל-הָעָם הָעֹנִים אֹתוֹ דָּבָר לֵאמֹֽר׃
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
הֲלוֹא אֶת-הַקִּטֵּר אֲשֶׁר קִטַּרְתֶּם בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְחֻצוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַם אַתֶּם וַאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם מַלְכֵיכֶם וְשָׂרֵיכֶם וְעַם הָאָרֶץ אֹתָם זָכַר יְהוָה וַֽתַּעֲלֶה עַל-לִבּֽוֹ׃
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
וַיֹּאמֶר יִרְמְיָהוּ אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם וְאֶל כָּל-הַנָּשִׁים שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר-יְהוָה כָּל-יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
הִרְבָּה כּוֹשֵׁל גַּם-נָפַל אִישׁ אֶל-רֵעֵהוּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ קוּמָה׀ וְנָשֻׁבָה אֶל-עַמֵּנוּ וְאֶל-אֶרֶץ מֽוֹלַדְתֵּנוּ מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַיּוֹנָֽה׃
He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
הֹבִישָׁה בַּת-מִצְרָיִם נִתְּנָה בְּיַד עַם-צָפֽוֹן׃
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
וְנִשְׁמַד מוֹאָב מֵעָם כִּי עַל-יְהוָה הִגְדִּֽיל׃
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
אוֹי-לְךָ מוֹאָב אָבַד עַם-כְּמוֹשׁ כִּֽי-לֻקְּחוּ בָנֶיךָ בַּשֶּׁבִי וּבְנֹתֶיךָ בַּשִּׁבְיָֽה׃
Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
לִבְנֵי עַמּוֹן כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הֲבָנִים אֵין לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אִם-יוֹרֵשׁ אֵין לוֹ מַדּוּעַ יָרַשׁ מַלְכָּם אֶת-גָּד וְעַמּוֹ בְּעָרָיו יָשָֽׁב׃
Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
צֹאן אֹֽבְדוֹת (היה) הָיוּ עַמִּי רֹעֵיהֶם הִתְעוּם הָרִים (שובבים) שֽׁוֹבְבוּם מֵהַר אֶל-גִּבְעָה הָלָכוּ שָׁכְחוּ רִבְצָֽם׃
My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
כִּרְתוּ זוֹרֵעַ מִבָּבֶל וְתֹפֵשׂ מַגָּל בְּעֵת קָצִיר מִפְּנֵי חֶרֶב הַיּוֹנָה אִישׁ אֶל-עַמּוֹ יִפְנוּ וְאִישׁ לְאַרְצוֹ יָנֻֽסוּ׃
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
הִנֵּה עַם בָּא מִצָּפוֹן וְגוֹי גָּדוֹל וּמְלָכִים רַבִּים יֵעֹרוּ מִיַּרְכְּתֵי-אָֽרֶץ׃
Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
צְאוּ מִתּוֹכָהּ עַמִּי וּמַלְּטוּ אִישׁ אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ מֵחֲרוֹן אַף-יְהוָֽה׃
My people, go out ye of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת חֹמוֹת בָּבֶל הָֽרְחָבָה עַרְעֵר תִּתְעַרְעָר וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ הַגְּבֹהִים בָּאֵשׁ יִצַּתּוּ וְיִֽגְעוּ עַמִּים בְּדֵי-רִיק וּלְאֻמִּים בְּדֵי-אֵשׁ וְיָעֵֽפוּ׃
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָֽרְבִיעִי בְּתִשְׁעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ וַיֶּחֱזַק הָרָעָב בָּעִיר וְלֹא-הָיָה לֶחֶם לְעַם הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
וּמִדַּלּוֹת הָעָם וְֽאֶת-יֶתֶר הָעָם׀ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר וְאֶת-הַנֹּֽפְלִים אֲשֶׁר נָֽפְלוּ אֶל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָֽאָמוֹן הֶגְלָה נְבוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִֽים׃
Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
וּמִן-הָעִיר לָקַח סָרִיס אֶחָד אֲֽשֶׁר-הָיָה פָקִיד׀ עַל-אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה וְשִׁבְעָה אֲנָשִׁים מֵרֹאֵי פְנֵי-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר נִמְצְאוּ בָעִיר וְאֵת סֹפֵר שַׂר הַצָּבָא הַמַּצְבִּא אֶת-עַם הָאָרֶץ וְשִׁשִּׁים אִישׁ מֵעַם הָאָרֶץ הַֽנִּמְצְאִים בְּתוֹךְ הָעִֽיר׃
He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
זֶה הָעָם אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּכַדְרֶאצַּר בִּשְׁנַת-שֶׁבַע יְהוּדִים שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים וְעֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
אֵיכָה׀ יָשְׁבָה בָדָד הָעִיר רַבָּתִי עָם הָיְתָה כְּאַלְמָנָה רַבָּתִי בַגּוֹיִם שָׂרָתִי בַּמְּדִינוֹת הָיְתָה לָמַֽס׃
How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
זָֽכְרָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם יְמֵי עָנְיָהּ וּמְרוּדֶיהָ כֹּל מַחֲמֻדֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ מִימֵי קֶדֶם בִּנְפֹל עַמָּהּ בְּיַד-צָר וְאֵין עוֹזֵר לָהּ רָאוּהָ צָרִים שָׂחֲקוּ עַל מִשְׁבַּתֶּֽהָ׃
Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
כָּל-עַמָּהּ נֶאֱנָחִים מְבַקְּשִׁים לֶחֶם נָתְנוּ (מחמודיהם) מַחֲמַדֵּיהֶם בְּאֹכֶל לְהָשִׁיב נָפֶשׁ רְאֵה יְהוָה וְֽהַבִּיטָה כִּי הָיִיתִי זוֹלֵלָֽה׃
All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.
צַדִּיק הוּא יְהוָה כִּי פִיהוּ מָרִיתִי שִׁמְעוּ-נָא כָל-(עמים) הָֽעַמִּים וּרְאוּ מַכְאֹבִי בְּתוּלֹתַי וּבַחוּרַי הָלְכוּ בַשֶּֽׁבִי׃
The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
כָּלוּ בַדְּמָעוֹת עֵינַי חֳמַרְמְרוּ מֵעַי נִשְׁפַּךְ לָאָרֶץ כְּבֵדִי עַל-שֶׁבֶר בַּת-עַמִּי בֵּֽעָטֵף עוֹלֵל וְיוֹנֵק בִּרְחֹבוֹת קִרְיָֽה׃
Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
הָיִיתִי שְּׂחֹק לְכָל-עַמִּי נְגִינָתָם כָּל-הַיּֽוֹם׃
I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
סְחִי וּמָאוֹס תְּשִׂימֵנוּ בְּקֶרֶב הָעַמִּֽים׃
Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
פַּלְגֵי-מַיִם תֵּרַד עֵינִי עַל-שֶׁבֶר בַּת-עַמִּֽי׃
Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
גַּם-(תנין) תַּנִּים חָלְצוּ שַׁד הֵינִיקוּ גּוּרֵיהֶן בַּת-עַמִּי לְאַכְזָר (כי) (ענים) כַּיְעֵנִים בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
וַיִּגְדַּל עֲוֹן בַּת-עַמִּי מֵֽחַטַּאת סְדֹם הַֽהֲפוּכָה כְמוֹ-רָגַע וְלֹא-חָלוּ בָהּ יָדָֽיִם׃
For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
יְדֵי נָשִׁים רַחֲמָנִיּוֹת בִּשְּׁלוּ יַלְדֵיהֶן הָיוּ לְבָרוֹת לָמוֹ בְּשֶׁבֶר בַּת-עַמִּֽי׃
The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
כִּי לֹא אֶל-עַם עִמְקֵי שָׂפָה וְכִבְדֵי לָשׁוֹן אַתָּה שָׁלוּחַ אֶל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
לֹא׀ אֶל-עַמִּים רַבִּים עִמְקֵי שָׂפָה וְכִבְדֵי לָשׁוֹן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-תִשְׁמַע דִּבְרֵיהֶם אִם-לֹא אֲלֵיהֶם שְׁלַחְתִּיךָ הֵמָּה יִשְׁמְעוּ אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
וְלֵךְ בֹּא אֶל-הַגּוֹלָה אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֹה אִֽם-יִשְׁמְעוּ וְאִם-יֶחְדָּֽלוּ׃
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
הַמֶּלֶךְ יִתְאַבָּל וְנָשִׂיא יִלְבַּשׁ שְׁמָמָה וִידֵי עַם-הָאָרֶץ תִּבָּהַלְנָה מִדַּרְכָּם אֶעֱשֶׂה אֹתָם וּבְמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶם אֶשְׁפְּטֵם וְיָדְעוּ כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
וַתִּשָּׂא אֹתִי רוּחַ וַתָּבֵא אֹתִי אֶל-שַׁעַר בֵּית-יְהוָה הַקַּדְמוֹנִי הַפּוֹנֶה קָדִימָה וְהִנֵּה בְּפֶתַח הַשַּׁעַר עֶשְׂרִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה אִישׁ וָאֶרְאֶה בְתוֹכָם אֶת-יַאֲזַנְיָה בֶן-עַזֻּר וְאֶת-פְּלַטְיָהוּ בֶן-בְּנָיָהוּ שָׂרֵי הָעָֽם׃
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
לָכֵן אֱמֹר כֹּֽה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָעַמִּים וְאָסַפְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר נְפֹצוֹתֶם בָּהֶם וְנָתַתִּי לָכֶם אֶת-אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
לְמַעַן בְּחֻקֹּתַי יֵלֵכוּ וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי יִשְׁמְרוּ וְעָשׂוּ אֹתָם וְהָיוּ-לִי לְעָם וַאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִֽים׃
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל-עַם הָאָרֶץ כֹּֽה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה לְיוֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶל-אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לַחְמָם בִּדְאָגָה יֹאכֵלוּ וּמֵֽימֵיהֶם בְּשִׁמָּמוֹן יִשְׁתּוּ לְמַעַן תֵּשַׁם אַרְצָהּ מִמְּלֹאָהּ מֵחֲמַס כָּֽל-הַיֹּשְׁבִים בָּֽהּ׃
And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
וְהָיְתָה יָדִי אֶֽל-הַנְּבִיאִים הַחֹזִים שָׁוְא וְהַקֹּסְמִים כָּזָב בְּסוֹד עַמִּי לֹֽא-יִהְיוּ וּבִכְתָב בֵּֽית-יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יִכָּתֵבוּ וְאֶל-אַדְמַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יָבֹאוּ וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי אֲנִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
יַעַן וּבְיַעַן הִטְעוּ אֶת-עַמִּי לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם וְאֵין שָׁלוֹם וְהוּא בֹּנֶה חַיִץ וְהִנָּם טָחִים אֹתוֹ תָּפֵֽל׃
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
וְאַתָּה בֶן-אָדָם שִׂים פָּנֶיךָ אֶל-בְּנוֹת עַמְּךָ הַמִּֽתְנַבְּאוֹת מִֽלִּבְּהֶן וְהִנָּבֵא עֲלֵיהֶֽן׃
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה-אָמַר׀ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הוֹי לִֽמְתַפְּרוֹת כְּסָתוֹת עַל׀ כָּל-אַצִּילֵי יָדַי וְעֹשׂוֹת הַמִּסְפָּחוֹת עַל-רֹאשׁ כָּל-קוֹמָה לְצוֹדֵד נְפָשׁוֹת הַנְּפָשׁוֹת תְּצוֹדֵדְנָה לְעַמִּי וּנְפָשׁוֹת לָכֶנָה תְחַיֶּֽינָה׃
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
וַתְּחַלֶּלְנָה אֹתִי אֶל-עַמִּי בְּשַׁעֲלֵי שְׂעֹרִים וּבִפְתוֹתֵי לֶחֶם לְהָמִית נְפָשׁוֹת אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-תְמוּתֶנָה וּלְחַיּוֹת נְפָשׁוֹת אֲשֶׁר לֹא-תִֽחְיֶינָה בְּכַזֶּבְכֶם לְעַמִּי שֹׁמְעֵי כָזָֽב׃
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
וְקָרַעְתִּי אֶת-מִסְפְּחֹֽתֵיכֶם וְהִצַּלְתִּי אֶת-עַמִּי מִיֶּדְכֶן וְלֹֽא-יִהְיוּ עוֹד בְּיֶדְכֶן לִמְצוּדָה וִֽידַעְתֶּן כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
לָכֵן שָׁוְא לֹא תֶחֱזֶינָה וְקֶסֶם לֹא-תִקְסַמְנָה עוֹד וְהִצַּלְתִּי אֶת-עַמִּי מִיֶּדְכֶן וִֽידַעְתֶּן כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
וְנָתַתִּי פָנַי בָּאִישׁ הַהוּא וַהֲשִֽׂמֹתִיהוּ לְאוֹת וְלִמְשָׁלִים וְהִכְרַתִּיו מִתּוֹךְ עַמִּי וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
וְהַנָּבִיא כִֽי-יְפֻתֶּה וְדִבֶּר דָּבָר אֲנִי יְהוָה פִּתֵּיתִי אֵת הַנָּבִיא הַהוּא וְנָטִיתִי אֶת-יָדִי עָלָיו וְהִשְׁמַדְתִּיו מִתּוֹךְ עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
לְמַעַן לֹֽא-יִתְעוּ עוֹד בֵּֽית-יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאַֽחֲרַי וְלֹֽא-יִטַּמְּאוּ עוֹד בְּכָל-פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם וְהָֽיוּ-לִי לְעָם וַֽאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵֽאלֹהִים נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
אֱמֹר כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֹה תִּצְלָח הֲלוֹא אֶת-שָׁרָשֶׁיהָ יְנַתֵּק וְאֶת-פִּרְיָהּ׀ יְקוֹסֵס וְיָבֵשׁ כָּל-טַרְפֵּי צִמְחָהּ תִּיבָשׁ וְלֹֽא-בִזְרֹעַ גְּדוֹלָה וּבְעַם-רָב לְמַשְׂאוֹת אוֹתָהּ מִשָּׁרָשֶֽׁיהָ׃
Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
וַיִּמְרָד-בּוֹ לִשְׁלֹחַ מַלְאָכָיו מִצְרַיִם לָֽתֶת-לוֹ סוּסִים וְעַם-רָב הֲיִצְלָח הֲיִמָּלֵט הָעֹשֵׂה אֵלֶּה וְהֵפֵר בְּרִית וְנִמְלָֽט׃
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
אָבִיו כִּֽי-עָשַׁק עֹשֶׁק גָּזַל גֵּזֶל אָח וַאֲשֶׁר לֹא-טוֹב עָשָׂה בְּתוֹךְ עַמָּיו וְהִנֵּה-מֵת בַּעֲוֺנֽוֹ׃
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
וְהוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָעַמִּים וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר נְפוֹצֹתֶם בָּם בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה וּבְחֵמָה שְׁפוּכָֽה׃
And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
וְהֵבֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם אֶל-מִדְבַּר הָֽעַמִּים וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּי אִתְּכֶם שָׁם פָּנִים אֶל-פָּנִֽים׃
And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
בְּרֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ אֶרְצֶה אֶתְכֶם בְּהוֹצִיאִי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָעַמִּים וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר נְפֹצֹתֶם בָּם וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בָכֶם לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִֽם׃
I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
זְעַק וְהֵילֵל בֶּן-אָדָם כִּי-הִיא הָיתָה בְעַמִּי הִיא בְּכָל-נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מְגוּרֵי אֶל-חֶרֶב הָיוּ אֶת-עַמִּי לָכֵן סְפֹק אֶל-יָרֵֽךְ׃
Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
עַם הָאָרֶץ עָשְׁקוּ עֹשֶׁק וְגָזְלוּ גָּזֵל וְעָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן הוֹנוּ וְאֶת-הַגֵּר עָשְׁקוּ בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
וּבָאוּ עָלַיִךְ הֹצֶן רֶכֶב וְגַלְגַּל וּבִקְהַל עַמִּים צִנָּה וּמָגֵן וְקוֹבַע יָשִׂימוּ עָלַיִךְ סָבִיב וְנָתַתִּי לִפְנֵיהֶם מִשְׁפָּט וּשְׁפָטוּךְ בְּמִשְׁפְּטֵיהֶֽם׃
And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
וָאֲדַבֵּר אֶל-הָעָם בַּבֹּקֶר וַתָּמָת אִשְׁתִּי בָּעָרֶב וָאַעַשׂ בַּבֹּקֶר כַּאֲשֶׁר צֻוֵּֽיתִי׃
So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלַי הָעָם הֲלֹֽא-תַגִּיד לָנוּ מָה-אֵלֶּה לָּנוּ כִּי אַתָּה עֹשֶֽׂה׃
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
לָכֵן הִנְנִי נָטִיתִי אֶת-יָדִי עָלֶיךָ וּנְתַתִּיךָֽ (לבג) לְבַז לַגּוֹיִם וְהִכְרַתִּיךָ מִן-הָעַמִּים וְהַאֲבַדְתִּיךָ מִן-הָאֲרָצוֹת אַשְׁמִידְךָ וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-נִקְמָתִי בֶּאֱדוֹם בְּיַד עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעָשׂוּ בֶאֱדוֹם כְּאַפִּי וְכַחֲמָתִי וְיָֽדְעוּ אֶת-נִקְמָתִי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה׃
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
בֶּן-אָדָם יַעַן אֲשֶׁר-אָמְרָה צֹּר עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִַם הֶאָח נִשְׁבְּרָה דַּלְתוֹת הָעַמִּים נָסֵבָּה אֵלָי אִמָּלְאָה הָחֳרָֽבָה׃
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
כִּי כֹה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה הִנְנִי מֵבִיא אֶל-צֹר נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל מִצָּפוֹן מֶלֶךְ מְלָכִים בְּסוּס וּבְרֶכֶב וּבְפָרָשִׁים וְקָהָל וְעַם-רָֽב׃
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
בְּפַרְסוֹת סוּסָיו יִרְמֹס אֶת-כָּל-חֽוּצוֹתָיִךְ עַמֵּךְ בַּחֶרֶב יַהֲרֹג וּמַצְּבוֹת עֻזֵּךְ לָאָרֶץ תֵּרֵֽד׃
With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
וְהוֹרַדְתִּיךְ אֶת-יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר אֶל-עַם עוֹלָם וְהוֹשַׁבְתִּיךְ בְּאֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּיּוֹת כָּחֳרָבוֹת מֵֽעוֹלָם אֶת-יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר לְמַעַן לֹא תֵשֵׁבִי וְנָתַתִּי צְבִי בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּֽים׃
When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
וְאָמַרְתָּ לְצוֹר (הישבתי) הַיֹּשֶׁבֶת עַל-מְבוֹאֹת יָם רֹכֶלֶת הָֽעַמִּים אֶל-אִיִּים רַבִּים כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צוֹר אַתְּ אָמַרְתְּ אֲנִי כְּלִילַת יֹֽפִי׃
And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.
בְּצֵאת עִזְבוֹנַיִךְ מִיַּמִּים הִשְׂבַּעַתְּ עַמִּים רַבִּים בְּרֹב הוֹנַיִךְ וּמַעֲרָבַיִךְ הֶעֱשַׁרְתְּ מַלְכֵי-אָֽרֶץ׃
When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
סֹֽחֲרִים בָּעַמִּים שָׁרְקוּ עָלָיִךְ בַּלָּהוֹת הָיִית וְאֵינֵךְ עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.
כָּל-יוֹדְעֶיךָ בָּֽעַמִּים שָׁמְמוּ עָלֶיךָ בַּלָּהוֹת הָיִיתָ וְאֵינְךָ עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
כֹּֽה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה בְּקַבְּצִי׀ אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן-הָֽעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר נָפֹצוּ בָם וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בָם לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם וְיָֽשְׁבוּ עַל-אַדְמָתָם אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לְעַבְדִּי לְיַעֲקֹֽב׃
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
כִּי כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה מִקֵּץ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה אֲקַבֵּץ אֶת-מִצְרַיִם מִן-הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר-נָפֹצוּ שָֽׁמָּה׃
Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
הוּא וְעַמּוֹ אִתּוֹ עָרִיצֵי גוֹיִם מֽוּבָאִים לְשַׁחֵת הָאָרֶץ וְהֵרִיקוּ חַרְבוֹתָם עַל-מִצְרַיִם וּמָלְאוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ חָלָֽל׃
He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
וַיִּכְרְתֻהוּ זָרִים עָרִיצֵי גוֹיִם וַֽיִּטְּשֻׁהוּ אֶל-הֶהָרִים וּבְכָל-גֵּאָיוֹת נָפְלוּ דָלִיּוֹתָיו וַתִּשָּׁבַרְנָה פֹֽרֹאתָיו בְּכֹל אֲפִיקֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיֵּרְדוּ מִצִּלּוֹ כָּל-עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וַֽיִּטְּשֻֽׁהוּ׃
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וּפָרַשְׂתִּי עָלֶיךָ אֶת-רִשְׁתִּי בִּקְהַל עַמִּים רַבִּים וְהֶעֱלוּךָ בְּחֶרְמִֽי׃
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
וְהִכְעַסְתִּי לֵב עַמִּים רַבִּים בַּהֲבִיאִי שִׁבְרְךָ בַּגּוֹיִם עַל-אֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יְדַעְתָּֽם׃
I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
וַהֲשִׁמּוֹתִי עָלֶיךָ עַמִּים רַבִּים וּמַלְכֵיהֶם יִשְׂעֲרוּ עָלֶיךָ שַׂעַר בְּעוֹפְפִי חַרְבִּי עַל-פְּנֵיהֶם וְחָרְדוּ לִרְגָעִים אִישׁ לְנַפְשׁוֹ בְּיוֹם מַפַּלְתֶּֽךָ׃
Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
בֶּן-אָדָם דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵֽי-עַמְּךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם אֶרֶץ כִּֽי-אָבִיא עָלֶיהָ חָרֶב וְלָקְחוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אִישׁ אֶחָד מִקְצֵיהֶם וְנָתְנוּ אֹתוֹ לָהֶם לְצֹפֶֽה׃
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
וְרָאָה אֶת-הַחֶרֶב בָּאָה עַל-הָאָרֶץ וְתָקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר וְהִזְהִיר אֶת-הָעָֽם׃
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
וְהַצֹּפֶה כִּֽי-יִרְאֶה אֶת-הַחֶרֶב בָּאָה וְלֹֽא-תָקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר וְהָעָם לֹֽא-נִזְהָר וַתָּבוֹא חֶרֶב וַתִּקַּח מֵהֶם נָפֶשׁ הוּא בַּעֲוֺנוֹ נִלְקָח וְדָמוֹ מִיַּֽד-הַצֹּפֶה אֶדְרֹֽשׁ׃
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
וְאַתָּה בֶן-אָדָם אֱמֹר אֶל-בְּנֵֽי-עַמְּךָ צִדְקַת הַצַּדִּיק לֹא תַצִּילֶנּוּ בְּיוֹם פִּשְׁעוֹ וְרִשְׁעַת הָֽרָשָׁע לֹֽא-יִכָּשֶׁל בָּהּ בְּיוֹם שׁוּבוֹ מֵֽרִשְׁעוֹ וְצַדִּיק לֹא יוּכַל לִֽחְיוֹת בָּהּ בְּיוֹם חֲטֹאתֽוֹ׃
Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
וְאָמְרוּ בְּנֵי עַמְּךָ לֹא יִתָּכֵן דֶּרֶךְ אֲדֹנָי וְהֵמָּה דַּרְכָּם לֹֽא-יִתָּכֵֽן׃
Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
