ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³⁶ Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² If a ruler hearken to lies, lies, all his servants are wicked.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken forsaken the LORD, they have provoked provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ We have heard the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
