*
The word of LORD came also to me ,
saying ,
*
Thou shall not take thee a wife ,
nor shall thou have sons or daughters ,
in this place .
*
For thus says LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place ,
and concerning their mothers who bore them ,
and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land :
*
They shall die grievous deaths .
They shall not be lamented ,
nor shall they be buried ;
they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground .
And they shall be consumed by the sword ,
and by famine .
And their dead bodies shall be food fo
*
For thus says LORD ,
Enter not into the house of mourning ,
nor go to lament ,
nor bemoan them ,
for I have taken away my peace from this people ,
says LORD ,
even loving kindness and tender mercies .
*
Both great and small shall die in this land .
They shall not be buried ,
nor shall men lament for them ,
nor cut themselves ,
nor make themselves bald for them ,
*
nor shall men break [
bread ]
for them in mourning ,
to comfort them for the dead ,
nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother .
*
And thou shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them ,
to eat and to drink .
*
For thus says LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
Behold ,
I will cause to cease out of this place ,
before your eyes and in your days ,
the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness ,
the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the brid
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when thou shall show this people all these words ,
and they shall say to thee ,
Why has LORD pronounced all this great evil against us ?
Or what is our iniquity ?
Or what is our sin that we have committed aga
*
Then thou shall say to them ,
Because your fathers have forsaken me ,
says LORD ,
and have walked after other gods ,
and have served them ,
and have worshipped them ,
and have forsaken me ,
and have not kept my law .
*
And ye have done evil more than your fathers ,
for ,
behold ,
ye walk each one after the stubbornness of his evil heart ,
so that ye hearken not to me .
*
Therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known ,
neither ye nor your fathers ,
and there ye shall serve other gods day and night ,
for I will show you no favor .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
says LORD ,
that it shall no more be said ,
As LORD lives who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt ,
*
but ,
As LORD lives who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north ,
and from all the countries where he had driven them .
And I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers .
*
Behold ,
I will send for many fishermen ,
says LORD ,
and they shall fish them up .
And afterward I will send for many hunters ,
and they shall hunt them from every mountain ,
and from every hill ,
and out of the clefts of the rocks .
*
For my eyes are upon all their ways .
They are not hid from my face ,
nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes .
