8:1 At that time 6256, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, they shall bring out 3318 8686 the bones 6106 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063, and the bones 6106 of his princes 8269, and the bones 6106 of the priests 3548, and the bones 6106 of the prophets 5030, and the bones 6106 of the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, out of their graves 6913:

8:2 And they shall spread 7849 8804 them before the sun 8121, and the moon 3394, and all the host 6635 of heaven 8064, whom they have loved 157 8804, and whom they have served 5647 8804, and after 310 whom they have walked 1980 8804, and whom they have sought 1875 8804, and whom they have worshipped 7812 8694: they shall not be gathered 622 8735, nor be buried 6912 8735; they shall be for dung 1828 upon the face 6440 of the earth 127.

8:3 And death 4194 shall be chosen 977 8738 rather than life 2416 by all the residue 7611 of them that remain 7604 8737 of this evil 7451 family 4940, which remain 7604 8737 in all the places 4725 whither I have driven 5080 8689 them, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.

8:4 Moreover thou shalt say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Shall they fall 5307 8799, and not arise 6965 8799? shall he turn away 7725 8799, and not return 7725 8799?

8:5 Why [then] is this people 5971 of Jerusalem 3389 slidden back 7725 8790 by a perpetual 5329 8737 backsliding 4878? they hold 2388 8689 fast deceit 8649, they refuse 3985 8765 to return 7725 8800.

8:6 I hearkened 7181 8689 and heard 8085 8799, [but] they spake not aright 1696 8762: no man 376 repented 5162 8737 him of 5921 his wickedness 7451, saying 559 8800, What have I done 6213 8804? every one turned 7725 8804 to his course 4794, as the horse 5483 rusheth 7857 8802 into the battle 4421.

8:7 Yea, the stork 2624 in the heaven 8064 knoweth 3045 8804 her appointed times 4150; and the turtle 8449 and the crane 5483 and the swallow 5693 observe 8104 8804 the time 6256 of their coming 935 8800; but my people 5971 know 3045 8804 not the judgment 4941 of the LORD 3068.

8:8 How do ye say 559 8799, We [are] wise 2450, and the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 [is] with us? Lo, certainly 403 in vain 8267 made 6213 8804 he [it]; the pen 5842 of the scribes 5608 8802 [is] in vain 8267.(in vain made…: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood)

8:9 The wise 2450 [men] are ashamed 3001 8689, they are dismayed 2865 8804 and taken 3920 8735: lo, they have rejected 3988 8804 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068; and what wisdom 2451 [is] in them?(The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc)(what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing)

8:10 Therefore will I give 5414 8799 their wives 802 unto others 312, [and] their fields 7704 to them that shall inherit 3423 8802 [them]: for every one from the least 6996 even unto the greatest 1419 is given 1214 8802 to covetousness 1215, from the prophet 5030 even unto the priest 3548 every one dealeth 6213 8802 falsely 8267.

8:11 For they have healed 7495 8762 the hurt 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 slightly 7043 8738, saying 559 8800, Peace 7965, peace 7965; when [there is] no peace 7965.

8:12 Were they ashamed 3001 8689 when they had committed 6213 8804 abomination 8441? nay, they were not at all 954 8800 ashamed 954 8799, neither could 3045 8804 they blush 3637 8736: therefore shall they fall 5307 8799 among them that fall 5307 8802: in the time 6256 of their visitation 6486 they shall be cast down 3782 8735, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068.(I will…: or, In gathering I will consume)

8:13 I will surely 622 8800 consume 5486 8686 them, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: [there shall be] no grapes 6025 on the vine 1612, nor figs 8384 on the fig tree 8384, and the leaf 5929 shall fade 5034 8804; and [the things that] I have given 5414 8799 them shall pass away 5674 8799 from them.

8:14 Why do we sit still 3427 8802? assemble 622 8734 yourselves, and let us enter 935 8799 into the defenced 4013 cities 5892, and let us be silent 1826 8735 there: for the LORD 3068 our God 430 hath put us to silence 1826 8689, and given us water 4325 of gall 7219 to drink 8248 8686, because we have sinned 2398 8804 against the LORD 3068.(gall: or, poison)

8:15 We looked 6960 8763 for peace 7965, but no good 2896 [came; and] for a time 6256 of health 4832, and behold trouble 1205!

8:16 The snorting 5170 of his horses 5483 was heard 8085 8738 from Dan 1835: the whole land 776 trembled 7493 8804 at the sound 6963 of the neighing 4684 of his strong ones 47; for they are come 935 8799, and have devoured 398 8799 the land 776, and all 4393 that is in it; the city 5892, and those that dwell 3427 8802 therein.(all…: Heb. the fulness thereof)

8:17 For, behold, I will send 7971 8764 serpents 5175, cockatrices 6848, among you, which [will] not [be] charmed 3908, and they shall bite 5391 8765 you, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

8:18 [When] I would comfort 4010 myself against sorrow 3015, my heart 3820 [is] faint 1742 in me.(in: Heb. upon)

8:19 Behold the voice 6963 of the cry 7775 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 because of them that dwell in a far 4801 country 776: [Is] not the LORD 3068 in Zion 6726? [is] not her king 4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to anger 3707 8689 with their graven images 6456, [and] with strange 5236 vanities 1892?(them…: Heb. the country of them that are far off)

8:20 The harvest 7105 is past 5674 8804, the summer 7019 is ended 3615 8804, and we are not saved 3467 8738.

8:21 For the hurt 7667 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 am I hurt 7665 8717; I am black 6937 8804; astonishment 8047 hath taken hold 2388 8689 on me.

8:22 [Is there] no balm 6875 in Gilead 1568; [is there] no physician 7495 8802 there? why then 3588 is not the health 724 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971 recovered 5927 8804?(recovered: Heb. gone up?)
