1	The sin of Judah is written# with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven# upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; [point: Heb. nail]
			2	Whilst their children remember# their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
			3	O my mountain in the field, I will give# thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
			4	And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue# from thine heritage that I gave# thee; and I will cause thee to serve# thine enemies# in the land which thou knowest# not: for ye have kindled# a fire in mine anger, which shall burn# for ever. [thyself: Heb. in thyself]
			5	Thus saith# the LORD; Cursed# be the man that trusteth# in man, and maketh# flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth# from the LORD.
			6	For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see# when good cometh# ; but shall inhabit# the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited# .
			7	Blessed# is the man that trusteth# in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
			8	For he shall be as a tree planted# by the waters, and that spreadeth out# her roots by the river, and shall not see# when heat cometh# , but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful# in the year of drought, neither shall cease# from yielding# fruit. [drought: or, restraint]
			9	The heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked# : who can know# it?
			10	I the LORD search# the heart, I try# the reins, even to give# every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
			11	As the partridge sitteth# on eggs , and hatcheth# them not; so he that getteth# riches, and not by right, shall leave# them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. [sitteth...: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth]
			12	A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
			13	O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake# thee shall be ashamed# , and they that depart from me# shall be written# in the earth, because they have forsaken# the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
			14	Heal# me, O LORD, and I shall be healed# ; save# me, and I shall be saved# : for thou art my praise.
			15	Behold, they say# unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come# now.
			16	As for me, I have not hastened# from being a pastor# to follow thee: neither have I desired# the woeful# day; thou knowest# : that which came out of my lips was right before thee. [to...: Heb. after thee]
			17	Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
			18	Let them be confounded# that persecute# me, but let not me be confounded# : let them be dismayed# , but let not me be dismayed# : bring# upon them the day of evil, and destroy# them with double destruction. [destroy...: Heb. break them with a double breach]
			19	Thus said# the LORD unto me; Go# and stand# in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in# , and by the which they go out# , and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
			20	And say# unto them, Hear# ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants# of Jerusalem, that enter in# by these gates:
			21	Thus saith# the LORD; Take heed# to yourselves, and bear# no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring# it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
			22	Neither carry forth# a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do# ye any work, but hallow# ye the sabbath day, as I commanded# your fathers.
			23	But they obeyed# not, neither inclined# their ear, but made their neck stiff# , that they might not hear# , nor receive# instruction.
			24	And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently# hearken# unto me, saith# the LORD, to bring# in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow# the sabbath day, to do# no work therein;
			25	Then shall there enter# into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting# upon the throne of David, riding# in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants# of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain# for ever.
			26	And they shall come# from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing# burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing# sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
			27	But if ye will not hearken# unto me to hallow# the sabbath day, and not to bear# a burden, even entering in# at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle# a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour# the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched# .
