1 “At that ith (time),” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (), “they shall yatzaa (go out / come out) out the itzamawath (bones) of the malakay (kings) of Yahawadah (Judah), and the itzamawath (bones) of his shar (prince / ruler), and the itzamawath (bones) of the kahanayam (priests), and the itzamawath (bones) of the nabayaayam (prophets), and the itzamawath (bones) of the yawashabay (inhabitants) of Yarawashalam (Jerusalem), out of their qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher);
2 And they shall shatach (spread) them before the shamash (sun), and the yarach (moon), and all the tzabaa (troop) of the sky, which they have ahab (love), and which they have ibad (servant), and achar (other) which they have halak (move), and which they have darash (sought), and which they have shachah (worshiped): they shall not be asap (gathered), nor be qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher), they shall be for daman (dung) on the surface of the adamah (earth).
3 Mawath (death) shall be bachar (chosen) rather than chay (life) by all the shaarayath (residue) that shaar (remain) of this rai (evil) mashapachah (tribe / clan / family), that shaar (remain) in all the maqamawath (places) where I have nadach (driven) them,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies).
4 “Moreover you shall amar (spoke) them, ‘Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (): “‘Shall men napal (fall / be cast down), and not qawam (rise up) up again? Shall one shawab (turn back / repent) away, and not shawab (turn back / repent)?
5 Why then is this im (nation / people) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) slidden shawab (turn) by a perpetual mashawabah (backsliding)? They chazaq (hold) fast tharamah (deceit), they maan (refuse) to shawab (turn).
6 I listened and shamai (hearken / hear), but they didn't dabar (word / matter) aright: no ayash (man / husband) nacham (turn away / repent) him of his rai (wickedness), amar (said), “What ishah (make) I done?” Everyone shawab (turn) to his marawatzah (course), as a sawas (horse) that rushes headlong in the malachamah (battle).
7 Yes, the chasayadah (stork) in the sky yadaiw (knows) her mawaid (Feast/Holy Day) times; and the turtledove and the igawar (swallow) and the sawas (crane) shamar (keep/guard) the ith (time) of their bawaa (come); but my im (nation / people) don't yadai (know) Yahawah () mashapat (law).
8 “‘How do you amar (spoke), “We are chakam (wise), and the thawarah (instruction) of Yahawah () is with us?” But, behold, the shaqar (false) it (pen) of the saparayam (scribes) ishah (make) worked falsely.
9 The chakam (wise) men are disappointed, they are chathath (dismayed) and lakad (taken): behold, they have maas (rejected) the dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah (); and what kind of chakamah (wisdom) is in them?
10 Therefore will I nathan (give) their wives to others, and their shadah (fields) to those who shall yarash (possess) them: for everyone from the qatan (small / young / least) even to the greatest is batzai (given) to batzai (covetousness); from the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) even to the kahan (priest) every one ishah (make) falsely.
11 They have rapaa (healed) the shabar (hurt) of the banath (daughter) of my im (nation / people) qalal (slightly), amar (said), “shalawam (peace / safety), shalawam (peace / safety);” when there is no shalawam (peace / safety).
12 Were they yabash (dry land) when they ishah (make) committed thawaibah (abomination)? Nay, they were not at all bawash (ashamed), neither yadai (could) they kalam (blush): therefore shall they napal (fall / be cast down) among those who napal (fall / be cast down); in the ith (time) of their paqadah (visitation) they shall be kashal (stumble / stagger) down, amar (spoke) Yahawah ().
13 “‘I will asap (utterly) sawap (consume) them, naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah (): no inabayam (grapes) shall be on the gapan (vine), nor thaanayam (figs) on the thaan (fig) tree, and the ilah (leaf) shall nabal (fade); and the things that I nathan (give) given them shall ibar (pass over/through) away from them.’”
14 “Why do we yashab (inhabit/dwell) still? Asap (assemble) yourselves, and bawaa (come) us enter into the fortified iray (cities), and let us be damam (silent) there; for Yahawah () our Alahayam () has put us to damam (silence), and given us mayam (Waters) of raash (head) to shaqah (drink), because we have chataa (sinned) against Yahawah ().
15 We qawah (gather/wait) for shalawam (peace / safety), but no tawab (good / proper function) came; and for a ith (time) of marapaa (healing), and behold, baithah (dismay)!
16 The nachar (snorting) of his sawas (horses) is shamai (hearken / hear) from Dan (Dan): at the qawal (sound / voice) of the matzahalah (neighing) of his abayar (strong) ones the whole aratz (Earth/land) raish (trembles); for they bawaa (bring) come, and have akal (eat) the aratz (Earth/land) and malaa (all) that is in it; the iyar (city) and those who yashab (inhabit/dwell) therein.”
17 “For, behold, I will shalach (send) nachashayam (serpents), tzapainayam (adders), among you, which will not be lachash (charmed); and they shall nashak (bite) you,” naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().
18 Oh that I could mabalayagayath (comfort) myself against yagawan (sorrow)! My lab (heart) is daway (faint) within me.
19 Behold, the qawal (sound / voice) of the cry of the banath (daughter) of my im (nation / people) from a aratz (Earth/land) that is very marachaq (far) off: “isn't Yahawah () in Tzayawan (Zion)? Isn't her malak (king) in her?” “Why have they provoked me to kais (anger) with their engraved pasayal (images), and with foreign habalay (vanities)?”
20 “The qatzayar (harvest) is past, the qayatz (summer) is kalah (complete / finish), and we are not yashai (salvation).”
21 For the shabar (hurt) of the banath (daughter) of my im (nation / people) am I shabar (hurt): I qadar (mourn); shamah (dismay) has chazaq (taken) hold on me.
22 Is there no tzaray (balm) in Galaid (Gilead)? Is there no rapaa (physician) there? Why then isn't the arawakah (health) of the banath (daughter) of my im (nation / people) ilah (go up / offer)?
