New International Version Help
8"'At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.H6256H5002H3068H3318H6106H4428H3063H6106H8269H6106H3548H6106H5030H6106H3427H3389H6913 2They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.H7849H8121H3394H6635H8064H157H5647H310H1980H1875H7812H622H6912H1828H6440H127 3Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'H4194H977H2416H7611H7604H7451H4940H7604H4725H5080H5002H3068H6635

Sin and Punishment

4"Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: "'When men fall down, do they not get up? When a man turns away, does he not return?H559H559H3068H5307H6965H7725H7725 5Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.H5971H3389H7725H5329H4878H2388H8649H3985H7725 6I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle.H7181H8085H1696H376H5162H5921H7451H559H6213H7725H4794H5483H7857H4421 7Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.H2624H8064H3045H4150H8449H5483H5693H8104H6256H935H5971H3045H4941H3068 8"'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?H559H2450H8451H3068H403H8267H6213H5842H5608H8267 9The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?H2450H3001H2865H3920H3988H1697H3068H2451 10Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.H5414H802H312H7704H3423H6996H1419H1214H1215H5030H3548H6213H8267 11They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace.H7495H7667H1323H5971H7043H559H7965H7965H7965 12Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.H3001H6213H8441H954H954H3045H3637H5307H5307H6256H6486H3782H559H3068 13"'I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.'"H622H5486H5002H3068H6025H1612H8384H8384H5929H5034H5414H5674 14"Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.H3427H622H935H4013H5892H1826H3068H430H1826H4325H7219H8248H2398H3068 15We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.H6960H7965H2896H6256H4832H1205 16The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there."H5170H5483H8085H1835H776H7493H6963H4684H47H935H398H776H4393H5892H3427 17"See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you," declares the LORD.H7971H5175H6848H3908H5391H5002H3068 18O my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.H4010H3015H3820H1742 19Listen to the cry of my people from a land far away: "Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King no longer there?" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their worthless foreign idols?"H6963H7775H1323H5971H4801H776H3068H6726H4428H3707H6456H5236H1892 20"The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved."H7105H5674H7019H3615H3467 21Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn, and horror grips me.H7667H1323H5971H7665H6937H8047H2388 22Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?H6875H1568H7495H3588H724H1323H5971H5927
