Distresses Foretold

16The word of the LORD also came to me saying,H1697H3068H559 2"You shall not take a wife for yourself nor have sons or daughters in this place."H3947H802H1121H1323H4725 3For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bear them, and their fathers who beget them in this land:H559H3068H1121H1323H3205H4725H517H3205H1H3209H776 4"They will die of deadly diseases, they will not be lamented or buried; they will be as dung on the surface of the ground and come to an end by sword and famine, and their carcasses will become food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth."H4191H8463H4463H5594H6912H1828H6440H127H3615H2719H7458H5038H3978H5775H8064H929H776 5For thus says the LORD, "Do not enter a house of mourning, or go to lament or to console them; for I have withdrawn My peace from this people," declares the LORD, "[My] lovingkindness and compassion.H559H3068H935H1004H4798H3212H5594H5110H622H7965H5971H5002H3068H2617H7356 6"Both great men and small will die in this land; they will not be buried, they will not be lamented, nor will anyone gash himself or shave his head for them.H1419H6996H4191H776H6912H5594H1413H7139 7"Neither will men break [bread] in mourning for them, to comfort anyone for the dead, nor give them a cup of consolation to drink for anyone's father or mother.H6536H60H5162H4191H3563H8575H8248H1H517 8"Moreover you shall not go into a house of feasting to sit with them to eat and drink."H935H1004H4960H3427H398H8354 9For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I am going to eliminate from this place, before your eyes and in your time, the voice of rejoicing and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7673H4725H5869H3117H6963H8342H6963H8057H6963H2860H6963H3618 10"Now it will come about when you tell this people all these words that they will say to you, 'For what reason has the LORD declared all this great calamity against us? And what is our iniquity, or what is our sin which we have committed against the LORD our God?'H5046H5971H1697H559H3068H1696H1419H7451H5771H2403H2398H3068H430 11"Then you are to say to them, '[It is] because your forefathers have forsaken Me,' declares the LORD, 'and have followed other gods and served them and bowed down to them; but Me they have forsaken and have not kept My law.H559H1H5800H5002H3068H3212H310H312H430H5647H7812H5800H8104H8451 12'You too have done evil, [even] more than your forefathers; for behold, you are each one walking according to the stubbornness of his own evil heart, without listening to Me.H6213H7489H1H2009H1980H376H310H8307H7451H3820H8085 13'So I will hurl you out of this land into the land which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I shall grant you no favor.'H2904H776H776H3045H1H5647H312H430H3119H3915H5414H2594

God Will Restore Them

14"Therefore behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when it will no longer be said, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,'H3117H935H5002H3068H559H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H4714 15but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where He had banished them.' For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.H3068H2416H5927H1121H3478H776H6828H776H5080H7725H127H5414H1 16"Behold, I am going to send for many fishermen," declares the LORD, "and they will fish for them; and afterwards I shall send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and from the clefts of the rocks.H7971H7227H1771H1728H5002H3068H1770H310H7971H7227H6719H6679H2022H1389H5357H5553 17"For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.H5869H1870H5641H6440H5771H6845H5048H5869 18"And I will first doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable idols and with their abominations."H7223H7999H5771H2403H4932H2490H776H4390H5159H5038H8251H8441 19O LORD, my strength and my stronghold, And my refuge in the day of distress, To Thee the nations will come From the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, Futility and things of no profit."H3068H5797H4581H4498H3117H6869H1471H935H657H776H559H1H5157H8267H1892H3276 20Can man make gods for himself? Yet they are not gods!H120H6213H430H430 21"Therefore behold, I am going to make them know— This time I will make them know My power and My might; And they shall know that My name is the LORD."H6471H3045H3045H3027H1369H3045H8034H3068
