"Flee for safety,
O sons
of Benjamin,
From the midst
of Jerusalem!
Now blow
a trumpet
in Tekoa
And raise
a signal
over
Beth-haccerem;
For evil
looks down
from the north,
And a great
destruction.
2
"The comely
and dainty
one, the daughter
of Zion,
I will cut off.
3
"Shepherds
and their flocks
will come
to her, They will pitch
their tents
around
her, They will pasture
each
in his place.
4
"Prepare
war
against
her; Arise,
and let us attack
at noon.
Woe
to us, for the day
declines,
For the shadows
of the evening
lengthen!
5
"Arise,
and let us attack
by night
And destroy
her palaces!"
6
For thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"Cut down
her trees
And cast up a siege
against
Jerusalem.
This
is the city
to be punished,
In whose midst
there is only
oppression.
7
"As a well
keeps
its waters
fresh,
So
she
keeps
fresh
her wickedness.
Violence
and destruction
are heard
in her; Sickness
and wounds
are ever
before
Me.
8
"Be warned,
O Jerusalem,
Or
I shall be alienated
from you, And make
you a desolation,
A land
not inhabited."
9
Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
"They will thoroughly
glean
as the vine
the remnant
of Israel;
Pass
your hand
again
like a grape gatherer
Over
the branches."
10
To whom
shall I speak
and give warning
That they may hear?
Behold,
their ears
are closed
And they can
no
t
listen.
Behold,
the word
of the LORD
has become
a reproach
to them; They have
no
delight
in it.
11
But I am full
of the wrath
of the LORD;
I am weary
with holding
it in. "Pour
it out on the children
in the street
And on the gathering
of young men
together;
For both
husband
and wife
shall be taken,
The aged
and the very
old.
12
"Their houses
shall be turned over
to others,
Their fields
and their wives
together;
For I will stretch
out My hand
Against
the inhabitants
of the land,"
declares
the LORD.
13
"For from the least
of them even to the greatest
of them,
Everyone
is greedy
for gain,
And from the prophet
even to the priest
Everyone
deals
falsely.
14
"They have healed
the brokenness
of My people
superficially,
Saying,
'Peace,
peace,'
But there is no
peace.
15
"Were they ashamed
because
of the abomination
they have done?
They were not even
ashamed at all;
They did not even
know
how to blush.
Therefore
they shall fall
among those who fall;
At the time
that I punish
them, They shall be cast down,"
says
the LORD.
16
Thus
says
the LORD,
"Stand
by the
way
s
and see
and ask
for the ancient
paths,
Where
the good
way
is, and walk
in it; And you will find
rest
for your souls.
But they said,
'We will not walk
in it.'
17
"And I set
watchmen
over
you, saying, 'Listen
to the sound
of the trumpet!'
But they said,
'We will not listen.'
18
"Therefore
hear,
O nations,
And know,
O congregation,
what
is among them.
19
"Hear,
O earth:
behold,
I am bringing
disaster
on this
people,
The fruit
of their plans,
Because
they have not listened
to My words,
And as for My law,
they have rejected
it also.
20
"For what
purpose
does frankincense
come
to Me from Sheba
And the sweet
cane
from a distant
land?
Your burnt offerings
are not acceptable
And your sacrifices
are not pleasing
to Me."
21
Therefore,
thus
says
the LORD,
"Behold,
I am laying
stumbling blocks
before
this
people.
And they will stumble
against them, Fathers
and sons
together;
Neighbor
and friend
will perish."
22
Thus
says
the LORD,
"Behold,
a people
is coming
from the north
land,
And a great
nation
will be aroused
from the remote parts
of the earth.
23
"They seize
bow
and spear;
They are cruel
and have
no
mercy;
Their voice
roars
like the sea,
And they ride
on horses,
Arrayed
as a man
for the battle
Against
you, O daughter
of Zion!"
24
We have heard
the report
of it; Our hands
are limp.
Anguish
has seized
us, Pain
as of a woman in childbirth.
25
Do not go
out into the field
And do not walk
on the road,
For the enemy
has a sword,
Terror
is on every side.
26
O daughter
of my people,
put
on sackcloth
And roll
in ashes;
Mourn
as for an only son,
A lamentation
most bitter.
For suddenly
the destroyer
Will come
upon us.
27
"I have made
you an assayer
and a tester
among My people,
That you may know
and assay
their way."
28
All
of them are stubbornly rebellious,
Going
about as a talebearer.
They are bronze
and iron;
They, all
of them, are corrupt.
29
The bellows
blow fiercely,
The lead
is consumed
by the fire;
In vain
the refining
goes
on, But the wicked
are not separated.
30
They call
them rejected
silver,
Because
the LORD
has rejected
them.
