17:1 The sin 2403 of Judah 3063 [is] written 3789 8803 with a pen 5842 of iron 1270, [and] with the point 6856 of a diamond 8068: [it is] graven 2790 8803 upon the table 3871 of their heart 3820, and upon the horns 7161 of your altars 4196;(point: Heb. nail)

17:2 Whilst their children 1121 remember 2142 8800 their altars 4196 and their groves 842 by the green 7488 trees 6086 upon the high 1364 hills 1389.

17:3 O my mountain 2042 in the field 7704, I will give 5414 8799 thy substance 2428 [and] all thy treasures 214 to the spoil 957, [and] thy high places 1116 for sin 2403, throughout all thy borders 1366.

17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue 8058 8804 from thine heritage 5159 that I gave 5414 8804 thee; and I will cause thee to serve 5647 8689 thine enemies 341 8802 in the land 776 which thou knowest 3045 8804 not: for ye have kindled 6919 8804 a fire 784 in mine anger 639, [which] shall burn 3344 8714 for 5704 ever 5769.(thyself: Heb. in thyself)

17:5 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Cursed 779 8803 [be] the man 1397 that trusteth 982 8799 in man 120, and maketh 7760 8804 flesh 1320 his arm 2220, and whose heart 3820 departeth 5493 8799 from the LORD 3068.

17:6 For he shall be like the heath 6199 in the desert 6160, and shall not see 7200 8799 when good 2896 cometh 935 8799; but shall inhabit 7931 8804 the parched places 2788 in the wilderness 4057, [in] a salt 4420 land 776 and not inhabited 3427 8799.

17:7 Blessed 1288 8803 [is] the man 1397 that trusteth 982 8799 in the LORD 3068, and whose hope 4009 the LORD 3068 is.

17:8 For he shall be as a tree 6086 planted 8362 8803 by the waters 4325, and [that] spreadeth out 7971 8762 her roots 8328 by the river 3105, and shall not see 7200 8799 when heat 2527 cometh 935 8799, but her leaf 5929 shall be green 7488; and shall not be careful 1672 8799 in the year 8141 of drought 1226, neither shall cease 4185 8686 from yielding 6213 8800 fruit 6529.(drought: or, restraint)

17:9 The heart 3820 [is] deceitful 6121 above all [things], and desperately wicked 605 8803: who can know 3045 8799 it?

17:10 I the LORD 3068 search 2713 8802 the heart 3820, [I] try 974 8802 the reins 3629, even to give 5414 8800 every man 376 according to his ways 1870, [and] according to the fruit 6529 of his doings 4611.

17:11 [As] the partridge 7124 sitteth 1716 8804 [on eggs], and hatcheth 3205 8804 [them] not; [so] he that getteth 6213 8802 riches 6239, and not by right 4941, shall leave 5800 8799 them in the midst 2677 of his days 3117, and at his end 319 shall be a fool 5036.(sitteth…: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth)

17:12 A glorious 3519 high 4791 throne 3678 from the beginning 7223 [is] the place 4725 of our sanctuary 4720.

17:13 O LORD 3068, the hope 4723 of Israel 3478, all that forsake 5800 8802 thee shall be ashamed 954 8799, [and] they that depart 3249 from me 5493 8803 shall be written 3789 8735 in the earth 776, because they have forsaken 5800 8804 the LORD 3068, the fountain 4726 of living 2416 waters 4325.

17:14 Heal 7495 8798 me, O LORD 3068, and I shall be healed 7495 8735; save 3467 8685 me, and I shall be saved 3467 8735: for thou [art] my praise 8416.

17:15 Behold, they say 559 8802 unto me, Where [is] the word 1697 of the LORD 3068? let it come 935 8799 now.

17:16 As for me, I have not hastened 213 8804 from [being] a pastor 7462 8802 to follow 310 thee: neither have I desired 183 8694 the woeful 605 8803 day 3117; thou knowest 3045 8804: that which came out 4161 of my lips 8193 was [right] before 5227 thee 6440.(to…: Heb. after thee)

17:17 Be not a terror 4288 unto me: thou [art] my hope 4268 in the day 3117 of evil 7451.

17:18 Let them be confounded 954 8799 that persecute 7291 8802 me, but let not me be confounded 954 8799: let them be dismayed 2865 8735, but let not me be dismayed 2865 8735: bring 935 8687 upon them the day 3117 of evil 7451, and destroy 7665 8798 them with double 4932 destruction 7670.(destroy…: Heb. break them with a double breach)

17:19 Thus said 559 8804 the LORD 3068 unto me; Go 1980 8800 and stand 5975 8804 in the gate 8179 of the children 1121 of the people 5971, whereby the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 come in 935 8799, and by the which they go out 3318 8799, and in all the gates 8179 of Jerusalem 3389;

17:20 And say 559 8804 unto them, Hear 8085 8798 ye the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, ye kings 4428 of Judah 3063, and all Judah 3063, and all the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, that enter in 935 8802 by these gates 8179:

17:21 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Take heed 8104 8734 to yourselves 5315, and bear 5375 8799 no burden 4853 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117, nor bring 935 8689 [it] in by the gates 8179 of Jerusalem 3389;

17:22 Neither carry forth 3318 8686 a burden 4853 out of your houses 1004 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117, neither do 6213 8799 ye any work 4399, but hallow 6942 8765 ye the sabbath 7676 day 3117, as I commanded 6680 8765 your fathers 1.

17:23 But they obeyed 8085 8804 not, neither inclined 5186 8689 their ear 241, but made their neck 6203 stiff 7185 8686, that they might not hear 8085 8800, nor receive 3947 8800 instruction 4148.

17:24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently 8085 8800 hearken 8085 8799 unto me, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, to bring 935 8687 in no burden 4853 through the gates 8179 of this city 5892 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117, but hallow 6942 8763 the sabbath 7676 day 3117, to do 6213 8800 no 1115 work 4399 therein;

17:25 Then shall there enter 935 8804 into the gates 8179 of this city 5892 kings 4428 and princes 8269 sitting 3427 8802 upon the throne 3678 of David 1732, riding 7392 8802 in chariots 7393 and on horses 5483, they, and their princes 8269, the men 376 of Judah 3063, and the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389: and this city 5892 shall remain 3427 8804 for ever 5769.

17:26 And they shall come 935 8804 from the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, and from the places about 5439 Jerusalem 3389, and from the land 776 of Benjamin 1144, and from the plain 8219, and from the mountains 2022, and from the south 5045, bringing 935 8688 burnt offerings 5930, and sacrifices 2077, and meat offerings 4503, and incense 3828, and bringing 935 8688 sacrifices of praise 8426, unto the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

17:27 But if ye will not hearken 8085 8799 unto me to hallow 6942 8763 the sabbath 7676 day 3117, and not to bear 5375 8800 a burden 4853, even entering in 935 8800 at the gates 8179 of Jerusalem 3389 on the sabbath 7676 day 3117; then will I kindle 3341 8689 a fire 784 in the gates 8179 thereof, and it shall devour 398 8804 the palaces 759 of Jerusalem 3389, and it shall not be quenched 3518 8799.
