|
For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and about their fathers that begat them in this land: |
| 4
|
They die of grievous deaths; they will not be lamented; neither are buried; shall be as dung on the surface of the earth; sword and famine shall be cut off, and their bodies will be food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth. |
| 5
|
For thus saith the Lord: Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them; for I have taken away from this people, saith the Lord, my peace, and mercy, and regret. |
| 6
|
And great and small shall die in this land; and they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament them, nor cut themselves, nor for them to get a haircut. |
| 7
|
And they will not tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father and their mother. |
| 8
|
Do not go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and drink; |
| 9
|
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will stop at this place in 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 bride.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when there will no longer say, `As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt '; |
| 15
|
but `As the LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the north country and from all the lands whither he had driven them ': will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers. |

Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and then I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill, and from holes of the rocks. |

For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. |

O Lord, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of trouble! to thee the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth and say, `inherited lies our fathers, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. ' |
