|
5. Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
|
5. Inflaming yourselves H2552 with idols H410 under H8478 every H3605 green H7488 tree H6086 , slaying H7819 the children H3206 in the valleys H5158 under H8478 the clefts H5585 of the rocks H5553 ?
|
|

|
|
7. On a mountain, high and exalted, Thou hast set thy couch, Also thither thou hast gone up to make a sacrifice.
|
7. Upon H5921 a lofty H1364 and high H5375 mountain H2022 hast thou set H7760 thy bed H4904 : even H1571 thither H8033 wentest thou up H5927 to offer H2076 sacrifice H2077 .
|
|
8. And behind the door, and the post, Thou hast set up thy memorial, For from Me thou hast removed, and goest up, Thou hast enlarged thy couch, And dost covenant for thyself among them, Thou hast loved their couch, the station thou sawest,
|
8. Behind H310 the doors H1817 also and the posts H4201 hast thou set up H7760 thy remembrance H2146 : for H3588 thou hast discovered H1540 thyself to another than H4480 H854 me , and art gone up H5927 ; thou hast enlarged H7337 thy bed H4904 , and made H3772 thee a covenant with H4480 them ; thou lovedst H157 their bed H4904 where H3027 thou sawest H2372 it .
|

|
10. Thou art wearied H3021 in the greatness H7230 of thy way H1870 ; yet saidst H559 thou not H3808 , There is no hope H2976 : thou hast found H4672 the life H2416 of thine hand H3027 ; therefore H5921 H3651 thou wast not H3808 grieved H2470 .
|
|
11. And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid it to thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou fearest not?
|
11. And of whom H4310 hast thou been afraid H1672 or feared H3372 , that H3588 thou hast lied H3576 , and hast not H3808 remembered H2142 me, nor H3808 laid H7760 it to H5921 thy heart H3820 ? have not H3808 I H589 held my peace H2814 even of old H4480 H5769 , and thou fearest H3372 me not H3808 ?
|
|

|
13. When thou criest H2199 , let thy companies H6899 deliver H5337 thee ; but the wind H7307 shall carry them all away H5375 H853 H3605 ; vanity H1892 shall take H3947 them : but he that putteth his trust H2620 in me shall possess H5157 the land H776 , and shall inherit H3423 my holy H6944 mountain H2022 ;
|
|
14. And he hath said, `Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.`
|
14. And shall say H559 , Cast ye up H5549 , cast ye up H5549 , prepare H6437 the way H1870 , take up H7311 the stumblingblock H4383 out of the way H4480 H1870 of my people H5971 .

|
15. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the high H7311 and lofty One H5375 that inhabiteth H7931 eternity H5703 , whose name H8034 is Holy H6918 ; I dwell H7931 in the high H4791 and holy H6918 place , with H854 him also that is of a contrite H1793 and humble H8217 spirit H7307 , to revive H2421 the spirit H7307 of the humble H8217 , and to revive H2421 the heart H3820 of the contrite ones H1792 .
|
|
16. For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have made.
|
16. For H3588 I will not H3808 contend H7378 forever H5769 , neither H3808 will I be always wroth H7107 H5331 : for H3588 the spirit H7307 should fail H5848 before H4480 H6440 me , and the souls H5397 which I H589 have made H6213 .
|
|
17. For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth, and I smite him, Hiding -- and am wroth, And he goeth on turning back in the way of his heart.
|
17. For the iniquity H5771 of his covetousness H1215 was I wroth H7107 , and smote H5221 him : I hid H5641 me , and was wroth H7107 , and he went H1980 on frowardly H7726 in the way H1870 of his heart H3820 .
|
|
18. His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
|
18. I have seen H7200 his ways H1870 , and will heal H7495 him : I will lead H5148 him also , and restore H7999 comforts H5150 unto him and to his mourners H57 .
|
|
19. Producing the fruit of the lips, `Peace, peace,` to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah.
|
19. I create H1254 the fruit H5108 of the lips H8193 ; Peace H7965 , peace H7965 to him that is far off H7350 , and to him that is near H7138 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; and I will heal H7495 him.
|
|
20. And the wicked are as the driven out sea, For to rest it is not able, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
|
20. But the wicked H7563 are like the troubled H1644 sea H3220 , when H3588 it cannot H3201 H3808 rest H8252 , whose waters H4325 cast up H1644 mire H7516 and dirt H2916 .
|
|
21. There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked!
|
21. There is no H369 peace H7965 , saith H559 my God H430 , to the wicked H7563 .
