King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Hear[H8085] ye[H853] this[H2088] word[H1697] which[H834] I[H595] take up[H5375] against[H5921] you, even a lamentation,[H7015] O house[H1004] of Israel.[H3478]

2. The virgin[H1330] of Israel[H3478] is fallen;[H5307] she shall no[H3808] more[H3254] rise:[H6965] she is forsaken[H5203] upon[H5921] her land;[H127] there is none[H369] to raise her up.[H6965]

3. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the Lord[H136] GOD;[H3069] The city[H5892] that went out[H3318] by a thousand[H505] shall leave[H7604] a hundred,[H3967] and that which went forth[H3318] by a hundred[H3967] shall leave[H7604] ten,[H6235] to the house[H1004] of Israel.[H3478]

4. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] unto the house[H1004] of Israel,[H3478] Seek[H1875] ye me, and ye shall live: [H2421]

5. But seek[H1875] not[H408] Bethel,[H1008] nor[H3808] enter[H935] into Gilgal,[H1537] and pass[H5674] not[H3808] to Beer-sheba:[H884] for[H3588] Gilgal[H1537] shall surely go into captivity,[H1540] [H1540] and Bethel[H1008] shall come[H1961] to naught.[H205]

6. Seek[H1875] [H853] the LORD,[H3068] and ye shall live;[H2421] lest[H6435] he break out[H6743] like fire[H784] in the house[H1004] of Joseph,[H3130] and devour[H398] it, and there be none[H369] to quench[H3518] it in Bethel.[H1008]

7. Ye who turn[H2015] judgment[H4941] to wormwood,[H3939] and leave off[H5117] righteousness[H6666] in the earth,[H776]

8. Seek him that maketh[H6213] the seven stars[H3598] and Orion,[H3685] and turneth[H2015] the shadow of death[H6757] into the morning,[H1242] and maketh the day dark[H2821] [H3117] with night:[H3915] that calleth[H7121] for the waters[H4325] of the sea,[H3220] and poureth them out[H8210] upon[H5921] the face[H6440] of the earth:[H776] The LORD[H3068] is his name: [H8034]

9. That strengtheneth[H1082] the spoiled[H7701] against[H5921] the strong,[H5974] so that the spoiled[H7701] shall come[H935] against[H5921] the fortress.[H4013]

10. They hate[H8130] him that rebuketh[H3198] in the gate,[H8179] and they abhor[H8581] him that speaketh[H1696] uprightly.[H8549]

11. Forasmuch[H3282] therefore[H3651] as your treading[H1318] is upon[H5921] the poor,[H1800] and ye take[H3947] from[H4480] him burdens[H4864] of wheat:[H1250] ye have built[H1129] houses[H1004] of hewn stone,[H1496] but ye shall not[H3808] dwell[H3427] in them; ye have planted[H5193] pleasant[H2531] vineyards,[H3754] but ye shall not[H3808] drink[H8354] [H853] wine[H3196] of them.

12. For[H3588] I know[H3045] your manifold[H7227] transgressions[H6588] and your mighty[H6099] sins:[H2403] they afflict[H6887] the just,[H6662] they take[H3947] a bribe,[H3724] and they turn aside[H5186] the poor[H34] in the gate[H8179] from their right.

13. Therefore[H3651] the prudent[H7919] shall keep silence[H1826] in that[H1931] time;[H6256] for[H3588] it[H1931] is an evil[H7451] time.[H6256]

14. Seek[H1875] good,[H2896] and not[H408] evil,[H7451] that[H4616] ye may live:[H2421] and so[H3651] the LORD,[H3068] the God[H430] of hosts,[H6635] shall be[H1961] with[H854] you, as[H834] ye have spoken.[H559]

15. Hate[H8130] the evil,[H7451] and love[H157] the good,[H2896] and establish[H3322] judgment[H4941] in the gate:[H8179] it may be[H194] that the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of hosts[H6635] will be gracious[H2603] unto the remnant[H7611] of Joseph.[H3130]

16. Therefore[H3651] the LORD,[H3068] the God[H430] of hosts,[H6635] the Lord,[H136] saith[H559] thus;[H3541] Wailing[H4553] shall be in all[H3605] streets;[H7339] and they shall say[H559] in all[H3605] the highways,[H2351] Alas![H1930] alas![H1930] and they shall call[H7121] the husbandman[H406] to[H413] mourning,[H60] and such as are skillful[H3045] of lamentation[H5092] to[H413] wailing.[H4553]

17. And in all[H3605] vineyards[H3754] shall be wailing:[H4553] for[H3588] I will pass[H5674] through[H7130] thee, saith[H559] the LORD.[H3068]

18. Woe[H1945] unto you that desire[H183] [H853] the day[H3117] of the LORD![H3068] to what end[H4100] is it[H2088] for you? the day[H3117] of the LORD[H3068] is darkness,[H2822] and not[H3808] light.[H216]

19. As if[H834] a man[H376] did flee[H5127] from[H4480] [H6440] a lion,[H738] and a bear[H1677] met[H6293] him; or went[H935] into the house,[H1004] and leaned[H5564] his hand[H3027] on[H5921] the wall,[H7023] and a serpent[H5175] bit[H5391] him.

20. Shall not[H3808] the day[H3117] of the LORD[H3068] be darkness,[H2822] and not[H3808] light?[H216] even very dark,[H651] and no[H3808] brightness[H5051] in it?

21. I hate,[H8130] I despise[H3988] your feast days,[H2282] and I will not[H3808] smell[H7306] in your solemn assemblies.[H6116]

22. Though[H3588] [H518] ye offer[H5927] me burnt offerings[H5930] and your meat offerings,[H4503] I will not[H3808] accept[H7521] them: neither[H3808] will I regard[H5027] the peace offerings[H8002] of your fat beasts.[H4806]

23. Take thou away[H5493] from[H4480] [H5921] me the noise[H1995] of thy songs;[H7892] for I will not[H3808] hear[H8085] the melody[H2172] of thy viols.[H5035]

24. But let judgment[H4941] run down[H1556] as waters,[H4325] and righteousness[H6666] as a mighty[H386] stream.[H5158]

25. Have ye offered[H5066] unto me sacrifices[H2077] and offerings[H4503] in the wilderness[H4057] forty[H705] years,[H8141] O house[H1004] of Israel?[H3478]

26. But ye have borne[H5375] [H853] the tabernacle[H5522] of your Moloch[H4432] and Chiun[H3594] your images,[H6754] the star[H3556] of your god,[H430] which[H834] ye made[H6213] to yourselves.

27. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity[H1540] beyond[H4480] [H1973] Damascus,[H1834] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] whose name[H8034] is The God[H430] of hosts.[H6635]
