CHAP. IV.
1 God calleth Israel by his promise. 3 He exhorteth Iudah to repentance by fearefull iudgements. 19 A grieuous lamentation for the miseries of Iudah.
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.1
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.2
6 Set vp the standards toward Zion: retyre, stay not; for I will bring euil from the North, and a great destruction.6
8 For this gird you with sackcloth; lament and howle: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.8
12 Euen a full winde from those places shall come vnto mee: now also will I giue sentence against them.12
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednesse, that thou mayest bee saued: how long shall thy vaine thoughts lodge within thee?14
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.15
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.18
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.19
21 How long shal I see the standard and heare the sound of the Trumpet?
23 I beheld the earth, and loe, it was without forme and void: and the heauens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountaines, and loe they trembled, and all the hilles mooued lightly.
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauens were fled.
27 For thus hath the Lord said; The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full ende.27
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.30
