And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 I remember the kindness of thy youth, and the love of thine espousals,
Go and you will proclaim in [the] ears of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh I remember to you [the] covenant loyalty of youth your [the] love of betrothal your walking you after me in the wilderness in a land not sown.
3 in following the Holy One of Israel, saith the Lord, Israel was the holy [people] to the Lord, [and] the first-fruits of his increase: all that devoured him shall offend; evils shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
[was] a holy thing Israel to Yahweh [the] beginning of (produce his *Q(K)*) all [those who] devour it they will be held guilty calamity it will come to them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and every family of the house of Israel.
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O house of Jacob and all [the] clans of [the] house of Israel.
5 Thus saith the Lord, What trespass have your fathers found in me, that they have revolted far from me, and gone after vanities, and become vain?

6 And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land which no man at all went through, and no man dwelt there?
And not they said where? [is] Yahweh who brought up us from [the] land of Egypt who led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit in a land dry and deep darkness in a land [which] not he has passed in it anyone and not he has dwelt anyone there.
7 And I brought you to Carmel, that ye should eat the fruits thereof, and the good thereof; and ye went in, and defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
And I brought you into [the] land of the orchard to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its and you came and you made unclean land my and inheritance my you made into an abomination.
8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that held by the law knew me not: the shepherds also sinned against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after that which profited not.
The priests not they said where? [is] Yahweh and [those who] handled the law not they knew me and the shepherds they rebelled against me and the prophets they prophesied by Baal and after [things which] not they profited they walked.
9 Therefore I will yet plead with you, and will plead with your children's children.
Therefore again I will contend with you [the] utterance of Yahweh and with [the] children of children your I will contend.
10 For go to the isles of the Chettians, and se; and send to Kedar, and observe accurately, and see if such things have been done;
For pass over [the] coasts of Cyprus and see and Kedar send and consider carefully exceedingly and see there! it has happened like this.
11 if the nations will change their gods, though they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory, [for that] from which they shall not be profited.
¿ Has it exchanged a nation gods and they not [are] gods and people my it has exchanged glory its for [that which] not it profits.
12 The heaven is amazed at this, and is very exceedingly horror-struck, saith the Lord.
Be appalled O heaven on this and shudder be desolate exceedingly [the] utterance of Yahweh.
13 For my people has committed two [faults], and evil ones: they have forsaken me, the fountain of water of life, and hewn out for themselves broken cisterns, which will not be able to hold water.
That two evil things it has done people my me they have forsaken a spring of - water living to dig for themselves cisterns cisterns broken which not they contain water.

15 The lions roared upon him, and uttered their voice, which have made his land a wilderness: and his cities are broken down, that they should not be inhabited.

16 Also the children of Memphis and Taphnas have known thee, and mocked thee.
Also [the] people of Memphis (and Tahpanhes *Q(k)*) they will graze you scalp.
17 Has not thy forsaking me brought these things upon thee? saith the Lord thy God.
¿ Not this have you done to yourself by forsaking you Yahweh God your at [the] time of [one who] led you in the way.
18 And now what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the water of Geon? and what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of rivers?
And therefore what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Egypt to drink [the] water of [the] Shihor and what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Assyria to drink [the] water of [the] River.
19 Thine apostasy shall correct thee, and thy wickedness shall reprove thee: know then, and see, that thy forsaking me [has been] bitter to thee, saith the Lord thy God; and I have taken no pleasure in thee, saith the Lord thy God.
It will punish you wickedness your and apostasies your they will rebuke you and know and see that [is] evil and bitter forsaking you Yahweh God your and not awe of me [is] with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.
20 For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, and plucked asunder thy bands; and thou has said, I will not serve thee, but will go upon every high hill, and under every shady tree, there will I indulge in my fornication.
That from long ago I broke off yoke your I tore off fetters your and you said not (I will transgress *Q(K)*) for on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant you [have been] lying down a prostitute.
21 Yet I planted thee a fruitful vine, entirely of the right sort: how art thou a strange vine turned to bitterness!
And I I had planted you a choice vine all of it [was] seed of reliability and how? have you changed yourself to me [the] degenerate [ones] of the vine alien.

23 How wilt thou say, I am not polluted, and have not gone after Baal? behold thy ways in the burial-ground, and know what thou hast done: her voice has howled in the evening:

24 she has extended her ways over the waters of the desert; she was hurried along by the lusts of her soul; she is given up [to them], who will turn her back? none that seek her shall be weary; at [the time of] her humiliation they shall find her.
A wild donkey - accustomed to a wilderness in [the] lust of (self its *Q(K)*) it sniffs [the] wind heat its who? will he turn back it all [those who] seek it not they will grow weary in month its they will find it.
25 Withdraw thy foot from a rough way, and thy throat from thirst: but she said I will strengthen myself: for she loved strangers, and went after them.
Restrain foot your from barefoot (and throat your *Q(K)*) from thirst and you said despairing In-deed I love strange [gods] and after them I will walk.
26 As is the shame of a thief when he is caught, so shall the children of Israel be ashamed; they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.
Like [the] shame of a thief if he is found so they have been put to shame [the] house of Israel they kings their officials their and priests their and prophets their.
27 They said to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou has begotten me: and they have turned [their] backs to me, and not their faces: yet in the time of their afflictions they will say, Arise, and save us.
[who] say To wood [are] father my you and to stone you (you gave birth to us *Q(K)*) for they have turned to me a back and not a face and at [the] time of calamity their they will say arise! and save us.
28 And where are thy gods, which thou madest for thyself? will they arise and save in the time of thine affliction? for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem they sacrificed to Baal.
And where? [are] gods your which you made for yourself let them arise if they will save you at [the] time of calamity your for [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah.
29 Wherefore do ye speak unto me? ye all have been ungodly, and ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
Why? do you contend against me all of you you have rebelled against me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
30 In vain have I smitten your children; ye have not received correction: a sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet ye feared not.
For vanity I struck sons your correction not they accepted it devoured sword your prophets your like a lion destroying.
31 Hear ye the word of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? wherefore has my people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to thee any more?
O generation you consider [the] word of Yahweh ¿ a wilderness have I been to Israel or? a land of darkness why? have they said people my we have roamed not we will come again to you.
32 Will a bride forget her ornaments, or a virgin her girdle? but my people has forgotten me days without number.
¿ Will she forget a virgin ornament[s] her a bride sashes her and people my they have forgotten me days there not [is] number.
33 What fair device wilt thou yet employ in thy ways, so as to seek love? [it shall] not [be] so; moreover thou has done wickedly in corrupting thy ways;
How! you make good way your to seek love therefore also wicked women (you have taught *Q(K)*) ways your.
34 and in thine hands has been found the blood of innocent souls; I have not found them in holes, but on every oak.
Also on skirts your they were found [the] blood of [the] lives of needy [people] innocent not in breaking in you found them for on all these [things].
35 Yet thou saidst, I am innocent: only let his wrath be turned away from me. Behold, I [will] plead with thee, whereas thou sayest, I have not sinned.
And you said that I am innocent surely it has turned back anger his from me here I [am] about to enter into judgment with with you because saying you not I have sinned.
36 For thou has been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat thy ways; but thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assur.
Why? do you treat lightly exceedingly to change way your also from Egypt you will be ashamed just as you were ashamed from Assyria.
37 For thou shalt go forth thence also with thine hands upon thine head; for the Lord has rejected thine hope, and thou shalt not prosper in it.
Also from with this [one] you will go out and hands your [will be] on head your for he has rejected Yahweh objects of confidence your and not you will prosper to them.
