6:1 O
yee
children
of
Beniamin,
gather
your
selues
to
flee
out
of
the
middest
of
Ierusalem,
and
blow
the
trumpet
in
Tekoa:
and
set
vp
a
signe
of
fire
in
Beth-haccerem:
for
euill
appeareth
out
of
the
North,
and
great
destruction.
6:2 I
haue
likened
the
daughter
of
Zion
to
a
comely
and
delicate
woman.
6:3 The
shepheards
with
their
flocks
shall
come
vnto
her:
they
shall
pitch
their
tents
against
her
round
about:
they
shall
feede,
euery
one
in
his
place.
6:4 Prepare
yee
warre
against
her:
arise,
and
let
vs
goe
vp
at
noone:
woe
vnto
vs,
for
the
day
goeth
away,
for
the
shadowes
of
the
euening
are
stretched
out.
6:5 Arise,
and
let
vs
goe
by
night,
and
let
vs
destroy
her
palaces.
6:6 For
thus
hath
the
Lord
of
hostes
said;
Hew
yee
downe
trees
and
cast
a
mount
against
Ierusalem:
this
is
the
citie
to
be
visited,
she
is
wholly
oppression
in
the
midst
of
her.
6:7 As
a
fountaine
casteth
out
her
waters,
so
she
casteth
out
her
wickednesse:
violence
and
spoile
is
heard
in
her,
before
me
continually
is
griefe
and
wounds.
6:8 Be
thou
instructed,
O
Ierusalem,
lest
my
soule
depart
from
thee:
lest
I
make
thee
desolate,
a
lande
not
inhabited.
6:9 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
They
shall
throughly
gleane
the
remnant
of
Israel
as
a
vine:
turne
backe
thine
hand
as
a
grape
gatherer
into
the
baskets.
6:10 To
whome
shall
I
speake
and
giue
warning,
that
they
may
heare
Behold,
their
eare
is
vncircumcised,
and
they
cannot
hearken:
beholde,
the
word
of
the
Lord
is
vnto
them
a
reproch:
they
haue
no
delight
in
it.
6:11 Therefore
I
am
full
of
the
furie
of
the
Lord:
I
am
weary
with
holding
in:
I
will
powre
it
out
vpon
the
children
abroad,
and
vpon
the
assembly
of
yong
men
together:
for
euen
the
husband
with
the
wife
shall
be
taken,
the
aged
with
him
that
is
full
of
dayes.
6:12 And
their
houses
shall
be
turned
vnto
others,
with
their
fields
and
wiues
together:
for
I
wil
stretch
out
my
hand
vpon
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
saith
the
Lord.
6:13 For
from
the
least
of
them
euen
vnto
the
greatest
of
them,
euery
one
is
giuen
to
couetousnesse,
and
from
the
prophet
euen
vnto
the
priest,
euery
one
dealeth
falsly.
6:14 They
haue
healed
also
the
hurt
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
sleightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace,
when
there
is
no
peace.
6:15 Were
they
ashamed
when
they
had
committed
abomination
nay
they
were
not
at
all
ashamed,
neither
could
they
blush:
therefore
they
shall
fall
among
them
that
fall:
at
the
time
that
I
visit
them,
they
shall
bee
cast
downe,
saith
the
Lord.
6:16 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Stand
ye
in
the
wayes
and
see,
and
aske
for
the
old
paths,
where
is
the
good
way,
and
walke
therein,
and
ye
shall
finde
rest
for
your
soules:
but
they
said,
We
will
not
walke
therein.
6:17 Also
I
set
watchmen
ouer
you,
saying,
Hearken
to
the
sound
of
the
trumpet:
but
they
said,
We
wil
not
hearken.
6:18 Therefore
heare
ye
nations,
and
know,
O
Congregation
what
is
among
them.
6:19 Heare,
O
earth,
behold,
I
will
bring
euill
vpon
this
people,
euen
the
fruit
of
their
thoughts,
because
they
haue
not
hearkened
vnto
my
wordes,
nor
to
my
law,
but
reiected
it.
6:20 To
what
purpose
cometh
there
to
me
incense
from
Sheba
and
the
sweet
cane
from
a
farre
countrey
your
burnt
offerings
are
not
acceptable,
nor
your
sacrifices
sweet
vnto
me.
6:21 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord,
Behold,
I
will
lay
stumbling
blockes
before
this
people,
and
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together
shall
fall
vpon
them:
the
neighbor
and
his
friend
shall
perish.
6:22 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Behold,
a
people
commeth
from
the
North
countrey,
and
a
great
nation
shall
bee
raised
from
the
sides
of
the
earth.
6:23 They
shall
lay
hold
on
bowe
and
speare:
they
are
cruell,
and
haue
no
mercie:
their
voice
roareth
like
the
Sea,
and
they
ride
vpon
horses,
set
in
aray
as
men
for
warre
against
thee,
O
daughter
of
Zion.
6:24 We
haue
heard
the
fame
thereof,
our
hands
waxe
feeble,
anguish
hath
taken
hold
of
vs,
and
paine
as
of
a
woman
in
trauaile.
6:25 Goe
not
forth
into
the
field,
nor
walke
by
the
way:
for
the
sword
of
the
enemie
and
feare
is
on
euery
side.
6:26 O
daughter
of
my
people,
gird
thee
with
sackcloth,
and
wallowe
thy
selfe
in
ashes:
make
thee
mourning,
as
for
an
onely
sonne,
most
bitter
lamentation:
for
the
spoiler
shall
suddenly
come
vpon
vs.
6:27 I
haue
set
thee
for
a
towre,
and
a
fortresse
among
my
people:
that
thou
mayest
know
and
trie
their
way.
6:28 They
are
all
grieuous
reuolters,
walking
with
slanders:
they
are
brasse
and
yron,
they
are
all
corrupters.
6:29 The
bellowes
are
burnt,
the
lead
is
consumed
of
the
fire:
the
founder
melteth
in
vaine:
for
the
wicked
are
not
plucked
away.
6:30 Reprobate
siluer
shall
men
call
them,
because
the
Lord
hath
reiected
them.
