*
The word of Yahweh came also to me ,
saying ,
*
You will not take for yourself a wife ,
neither will you have sons or daughters ,
in this place .
*
For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place ,
and concerning their mothers who bore them ,
and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land :
*
They will die grievous deaths :
they will not be lamented ,
neither will they be buried ;
they will be as dung on the face of the ground ;
and they will be consumed by the sword ,
and by famine ;
and their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the heavens ,
and for the beasts of the earth .
*
For thus says Yahweh ,
Don '
t enter into the house of mourning ,
neither go to lament ,
neither bemoan them ;
for I have taken away my peace from this people ,
says Yahweh ,
even loving-kindness and tender mercies .
*
Both great and small will die in this land ;
they will not be buried ,
neither will men lament for them ,
nor cut themselves ,
nor make themselves bald for them ;
*
neither will men break bread for the mourner ,
to comfort them for the dead ;
neither will men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother .
*
And you will not go into the house of feasting to sit with them ,
to eat and to drink .
*
For thus says Yahweh of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
Look ,
I will cause to cease out of this place ,
before your (
note :){+}(:
note )
eyes and in your {+}
days ,
the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness ,
the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride .
*
And it will come to pass ,
when you will show this people all these words ,
and they will say to you ,
Why has Yahweh pronounced all this great evil against us ?
Or what is our iniquity ?
Or what is our sin that we have committed against Yahweh our God ?
*
Then you will say to them ,
Because your (
note :){+}(:
note )
fathers have forsaken me ,
says Yahweh ,
and have walked after other gods ,
and have served them ,
and have worshiped them ,
and have forsaken me ,
and haven '
t kept my law ;
*
and you (
note :){+}(:
note )
have done evil more than your {+}
fathers ;
for ,
look ,
you {+}
walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart ,
so that you {+}
don '
t listen to me :
*
therefore I will cast you (
note :){+}(:
note )
forth out of this land into the land that you {+}
haven '
t known ,
neither you {+}
nor your {+}
fathers ;
and there you {+}
will serve other gods day and night ;
for I will show you {+}
no favor .
*
Therefore ,
look ,
the days come ,
says Yahweh ,
that it will no more be said ,
As Yahweh lives ,
that brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt ;
*
but ,
As Yahweh lives ,
that 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 .
*
Look ,
I will send for many fishers ,
says Yahweh ,
and they will fish them up ;
and afterward I will send for many hunters ,
and they will hunt them from every mountain ,
and from every hill ,
and out of the clefts of the rocks .
*
For my eyes are on all their ways ;
they are not hid from my face ,
neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes .
