H3068G–יְהֹוָה–ye.ho.vah

And the Lord said to me, There is an evil design at work among the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the Lord has said, I will send evil on them, which they will not be able to get away from; and they will send up a cry for help to me, but I will not give ear to them.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

You had been named by the Lord, A branching olive-tree, fair with beautiful fruit: with the noise of a great rushing he has put it on fire and its branches are broken.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For the Lord of armies, by whom you were planted, has given his decision for evil against you, because of the evil which the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done, In moving me to wrath by offering perfumes to the Baal.

וַיהוָ֤ה (יהוָ֤ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the Lord gave me knowledge of it and I saw it: then you made clear to me their doings.

וַֽיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But, O Lord of armies, judging in righteousness, testing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them: for I have put my cause before you.

וַֽיהוָ֤ה (יהוָ֤ה) Yah.weh “O Yahweh”

So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the men of Anathoth who have made designs against your life, saying, You are not to be a prophet in the name of the Lord, or death will overtake you by our hands:

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will send punishment on them: the young men will be put to the sword; their sons and their daughters will come to death through need of food:

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “O Yahweh”

But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “O Yahweh”

Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.

לַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But if they will not give ear, then I will have that nation uprooted, and given to destruction, says the Lord.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,

יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then after a long time, the Lord said to me, Up! go to Parah and get the band which I gave you orders to put there.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So you are to say this word to them: This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Every skin bottle will be full of wine; and they will say to you, Is it not quite clear to us that every skin bottle will be full of wine?

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
