Sound the ram’s horn in Tekoa;

raise a smoke signal over Beth-haccherem,

they will pitch their tents all around her.
|

Each will pasture his own portion.

rise up, let’s attack at noon.
|

Woe to us, for the day is passing;
|

the evening shadows grow long.
|

Let's destroy her fortresses."

5 Rise up, let’s attack by night.
|
||||
Let’s destroy her fortresses.”
|
||||
6 For this is what the Lord of Armies says:
|
||||
Cut down the trees;
|
||||
raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem.
|
||||
This city must be punished.
|
||||
There is nothing but oppression within her.

7 As a well gushes out its water,
|
||||
so she pours out her evil.
|
||||
Violence and destruction resound in her.
|
||||
Sickness and wounds keep coming to my attention.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Be warned, Jerusalem,
|
||||
8 Be warned, Jerusalem,
|
||||
or I will turn away from you;
|
||||
I will make you a desolation,
|
||||
a land without inhabitants.
|
||||
|
||||
Wrath on Israel
|
||||
|
||||
|

9. This is what the Lord of Armies says:
|
||||
9 This is what the Lord of Armies says:
|
||||
Glean the remnant of Israel
|
||||
as thoroughly as a vine.
|
||||
|
||||
Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer
|
||||
over the branches.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Who can I speak to and give such a warning
|
||||
10 Who can I speak to and give such a warning
|
||||
that they will listen?
|
||||
Look, their ear is uncircumcised,
|
||||
so they cannot pay attention.
|
||||
|
||||
See, the word of the Lord has become contemptible to them--
|
||||
See, the word of the Lord has become contemptible to them—
|
||||
they find no pleasure in it.

11 But I am full of the Lord’s wrath;
|
||||
I am tired of holding it back.
|
||||
Pour it out on the children in the street,
|
||||
on the gathering of young men as well.
|
||||
For both husband and wife will be captured,
|
||||
the old with the very old.
|
||||
|
||||
12. Their houses will be turned over to others,
|
||||
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,
|
||||
their fields and wives as well,
|
||||
for I will stretch out my hand
|
||||
against the inhabitants of the land.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
13. For from the least to the greatest of them,
|
||||
This is the Lord’s declaration.
|
||||
13 For from the least to the greatest of them,
|
||||
everyone is making profit dishonestly.
|
||||
From prophet to priest,
|
||||
everyone deals falsely.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
claiming, "Peace, peace,"
|
||||
14 They have treated my people’s brokenness superficially,
|
||||
claiming, “Peace, peace,”
|
||||
when there is no peace.
|

|
||||
|
||||
15. Were they ashamed when they acted so detestably?

They weren't at all ashamed.
|

15 Were they ashamed when they acted so detestably?
|
||||
They weren’t at all ashamed.
|
||||
They can no longer feel humiliation.
|
||||
Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.
|
||||
When I punish them, they will collapse,
|
||||
says the Lord.
|
||||
|

Disaster because of Disobedience

16. This is what the Lord says:
|
||||
16 This is what the Lord says:
|
||||
Stand by the roadways and look.
|
||||
Ask about the ancient paths,
|
||||
"Which is the way to what is good?"
|
||||
“Which is the way to what is good?”
|
||||
Then take it
|
||||
and find rest for yourselves.
|
||||
But they protested, "We won't!"
|
||||
|
||||
17. I appointed watchmen over you
|
||||
and said, "Listen for the sound of the ram's horn."
|
||||
But they protested, "We won't listen!"
|
||||
|
||||

17 I appointed watchmen over you
|
||||
and said, “Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.”
|

But they protested, “We won’t listen!”
|
||||
18 Therefore listen, you nations
|
||||
and you witnesses,
|
||||
learn what the charge is against them.
|
||||
|
||||
19. Listen, earth!
|
||||
19 Listen, earth!
|
||||
I am about to bring disaster on these people,
|
||||
the fruit of their own plotting,
|
||||
for they have paid no attention to my words.
|
||||
They have rejected my instruction.
|
||||
|
||||
20. What use to me is frankincense from Sheba
|
||||
20 What use to me is frankincense from Sheba
|
||||
or sweet cane from a distant land?
|
||||
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;
|
||||
your sacrifices do not please me.
|
||||
|
||||
21. Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
|
||||
21 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
|
||||
I am going to place stumbling blocks before these people;
|
||||
fathers and sons together will stumble over them;
|
||||
friends and neighbors will also perish.
|

|

A Cruel Nation from the North
|

|
||||
22 This is what the Lord says:
|
||||
Look, an army is coming from a northern land;
|
||||
a great nation will be stirred up
|
||||
from the remote regions of the earth.
|
||||
|
||||
23. They grasp bow and javelin.
|
||||
|
||||
23 They grasp bow and javelin.
|
||||
They are cruel and show no mercy.
|
||||
Their voice roars like the sea,
|
||||
and they ride on horses,
|
||||
lined up like men in battle formation
|
||||
against you, Daughter Zion.
|
||||
|
||||
24. We have heard about it,
|
||||
24 We have heard about it,
|
||||
and our hands have become weak.
|
||||
Distress has seized us--
|
||||
Distress has seized us—
|
||||
pain, like a woman in labor.
|
||||
|
||||
25. Don't go out to the fields;
|
||||
don't walk on the road.
|
||||
25 Don’t go out to the fields;
|
||||
don’t walk on the road.
|
||||
For the enemy has a sword;
|
||||
terror is on every side.
|
||||
|
||||
26. My dear people, dress yourselves in sackcloth
|
||||
26 My dear people, dress yourselves in sackcloth
|
||||
and roll in the dust.
|
||||
Mourn as you would for an only son,
|
||||
a bitter lament,
|
||||
for suddenly the destroyer will come on us.

a refiner--

27 I have appointed you to be an assayer among my people—
|
||||
a refiner—
|

so you may know and assay their way of life.

28 All are stubborn rebels
|
||||
spreading slander.
|
||||
They are bronze and iron;
|

all of them are corrupt.
|

29. The bellows blow,
|
||||
29 The bellows blow,
|
||||
blasting the lead with fire.
|
||||
The refining is completely in vain;
|
||||
the evil ones are not separated out.

for the Lord has rejected them.
