4:1 If
thou
wilt
returne,
O
Israel,
saith
the
Lord,
returne
vnto
mee:
and
if
thou
wilt
put
away
thine
abominations
out
of
my
sight,
then
shalt
thou
not
remoue.
4:2 And
thou
shalt
sweare,
The
Lord
liueth,
in
Trueth,
in
Iudgement,
and
in
Righteousnes,
and
the
nations
shall
blesse
themselues
in
him,
and
in
him
shall
they
glorie.
4:3 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
to
the
men
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
Breake
vp
your
fallow
ground,
and
sow
not
among
thornes.
4:4 Circumcise
your
selues
to
the
Lord,
and
take
away
the
foreskinnes
of
your
heart,
ye
men
of
Iudah,
and
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem,
lest
my
furie
come
forth
like
fire,
and
burne
that
none
can
quench
it,
because
of
the
euill
of
your
doings.
4:5 Declare
ye
in
Iudah,
and
publish
in
Ierusalem,
and
say,
Blow
yee
the
Trumpet
in
the
land:
cry,
gather
together,
and
say,
Assemble
your
selues,
and
let
vs
goe
into
the
defenced
cities.
4:6 Set
vp
the
standards
toward
Zion:
retyre,
stay
not;
for
I
will
bring
euil
from
the
North,
and
a
great
destruction.
4:7 The
Lion
is
come
vp
from
his
thicket,
and
the
destroyer
of
the
Gentiles
is
on
his
way;
hee
is
gone
foorth
from
his
place
to
make
thy
land
desolate,
and
thy
cities
shall
be
layed
waste,
without
an
inhabitant.
4:8 For
this
gird
you
with
sackcloth;
lament
and
howle:
for
the
fierce
anger
of
the
Lord
is
not
turned
backe
from
vs.
4:9 And
it
shall
come
to
passe
at
that
day,
saith
the
Lord,
that
the
heart
of
the
King
shall
perish,
and
the
heart
of
the
Princes:
and
the
Priests
shalbe
astonished,
&
the
prophets
shall
wonder.
4:10 Then
said
I,
Ah
Lord
God,
surely
thou
hast
greatly
deceiued
this
people,
and
Ierusalem,
saying,
Ye
shall
haue
peace,
whereas
the
sword
reacheth
vnto
the
soule.
4:11 At
that
time
shall
it
bee
said
to
this
people,
and
to
Ierusalem;
A
dry
winde
of
the
high
places
in
the
wildernes
toward
the
daughter
of
my
people,
not
to
fanne,
nor
to
cleanse.
4:12 Euen
a
full
winde
from
those
places
shall
come
vnto
mee:
now
also
will
I
giue
sentence
against
them.
4:13 Behold,
hee
shall
come
vp
as
cloudes,
and
his
charets
shall
bee
as
a
whirlewinde:
his
horses
are
swifter
then
Eagles:
woe
vnto
vs,
for
wee
are
spoiled.
4:14 O
Ierusalem,
wash
thine
heart
from
wickednesse,
that
thou
mayest
bee
saued:
how
long
shall
thy
vaine
thoughts
lodge
within
thee
4:15 For
a
voice
declareth
from
Dan,
and
publisheth
affliction
from
mount
Ephraim.
4:16 Make
ye
mention
to
the
nations,
behold,
publish
against
Ierusalem,
that
watchers
come
from
a
farre
countrey,
and
giue
out
their
voice
against
the
cities
of
Iudah.
4:17 As
keepers
of
a
fielde
are
they
against
her
round
about;
because
shee
hath
bene
rebellious
against
mee,
saith
the
Lord.
4:18 Thy
way
and
thy
doings
haue
procured
these
things
vnto
thee,
this
is
thy
wickednes
because
it
is
bitter,
because
it
reacheth
vnto
thine
heart.
4:19 My
bowels,
my
bowels,
I
am
pained
at
my
very
heart,
my
heart
maketh
a
noise
in
mee,
I
cannot
hold
my
peace,
because
thou
hast
heard,
O
my
soule,
the
sound
of
the
Trumpet,
the
alarme
of
warre.
4:20 Destruction
vpon
destruction
is
cried,
for
the
whole
land
is
spoiled:
suddenly
are
my
tents
spoiled,
and
my
curtaines
in
a
moment.
4:21 How
long
shal
I
see
the
standard
and
heare
the
sound
of
the
Trumpet
4:22 For
my
people
is
foolish,
they
haue
not
knowen
me,
they
are
sottish
children,
and
they
haue
none
vnderstanding:
they
are
wise
to
doe
euill,
but
to
doe
good
they
haue
no
knowledge.
4:23 I
beheld
the
earth,
and
loe,
it
was
without
forme
and
void:
and
the
heauens,
and
they
had
no
light.
4:24 I
beheld
the
mountaines,
and
loe
they
trembled,
and
all
the
hilles
mooued
lightly.
4:25 I
behelde,
and
loe,
there
was
no
man,
and
all
the
birdes
of
the
heauens
were
fled.
4:26 I
beheld,
and
loe,
the
fruitfull
place
was
a
wildernesse,
and
all
the
cities
thereof
were
broken
downe
at
the
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
by
his
fierce
anger.
4:27 For
thus
hath
the
Lord
said;
The
whole
land
shall
be
desolate;
yet
will
I
not
make
a
full
ende.
4:28 For
this
shall
the
earth
mourne,
and
the
heauens
aboue
be
blacke:
because
I
haue
spoken
it,
I
haue
purposed
it,
and
will
not
repent,
neither
will
I
turne
backe
from
it.
4:29 The
whole
citie
shall
flee,
for
the
noise
of
the
horsemen
and
bowmen,
they
shall
goe
into
thickets,
and
climbe
vp
vpon
the
rockes:
euery
city
shall
be
forsaken,
and
not
a
man
dwell
therein.
4:30 And
when
thou
art
spoiled,
what
wilt
thou
doe
though
thou
clothest
thy
selfe
with
crimsin,
though
thou
deckest
thee
with
ornaments
of
golde,
though
thou
rentest
thy
face
with
painting,
in
vaine
shalt
thou
make
thy
selfe
faire,
thy
louers
will
despise
thee,
they
will
seeke
thy
life.
4:31 For
I
haue
heard
a
voice
as
of
a
woman
in
trauel,
and
the
anguish
as
of
her
that
bringeth
foorth
her
first
childe,
the
voice
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
that
bewaileth
her
selfe,
that
spreadeth
her
hands,
saying;
Woe
is
me
now,
for
my
soule
is
wearied
because
of
murderers.
