Hast thou not procured [06213] this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken [05800] the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], when [06256] he led [03212] thee by the way [01870]?
And now what hast thou to do in the way [01870] of Egypt [04714], to drink [08354] the waters [04325] of Sihor [07883]? or what hast thou to do in the way [01870] of Assyria [0804], to drink [08354] the waters [04325] of the river [05104]?
How canst thou say [0559], I am not polluted [02930], I have not gone [01980] after [0310] Baalim [01168]? see [07200] thy way [01870] in the valley [01516], know [03045] what thou hast done [06213]: thou art a swift [07031] dromedary [01072] traversing [08308] her ways [01870];thou art…: or, O swift dromedary
Why trimmest [03190] thou thy way [01870] to seek [01245] love [0160]? therefore hast thou also taught [03925] the wicked ones [07451] thy ways [01870].
Why gaddest thou about [0235] so much [03966] to change [08138] thy way [01870]? thou also shalt be ashamed [0954] of Egypt [04714], as thou wast ashamed [0954] of Assyria [0804].
Lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] unto the high places [08205], and see [07200] where [0375] thou hast not been lien [07901] [07693] with. In the ways [01870] hast thou sat [03427] for them, as the Arabian [06163] in the wilderness [04057]; and thou hast polluted [02610] the land [0776] with thy whoredoms [02184] and with thy wickedness [07451].
Only acknowledge [03045] thine iniquity [05771], that thou hast transgressed [06586] against the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], and hast scattered [06340] thy ways [01870] to the strangers [02114] under every green [07488] tree [06086], and ye have not obeyed [08085] my voice [06963], saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
A voice [06963] was heard [08085] upon the high places [08205], weeping [01065] and supplications [08469] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: for they have perverted [05753] their way [01870], and they have forgotten [07911] the Lord [03068] their God [0430].
At that time [06256] shall it be said [0559] to this people [05971] and to Jerusalem [03389], A dry [06703] wind [07307] of the high places [08205] in the wilderness [04057] toward [01870] the daughter [01323] of my people [05971], not to fan [02219], nor to cleanse [01305],
Thy way [01870] and thy doings [04611] have procured [06213] these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness [07451], because it is bitter [04751], because it reacheth [05060] unto thine heart [03820].
Therefore I said [0559], Surely these are poor [01800]; they are foolish [02973]: for they know [03045] not the way [01870] of the Lord [03068], nor the judgment [04941] of their God [0430].
I will get [03212] me unto the great men [01419], and will speak [01696] unto them; for they have known [03045] the way [01870] of the Lord [03068], and the judgment [04941] of their God [0430]: but these have altogether [03162] broken [07665] the yoke [05923], and burst [05423] the bonds [04147].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Stand [05975] ye in the ways [01870], and see [07200], and ask [07592] for the old [05769] paths [05410], where is the good [02896] way [01870], and walk [03212] therein, and ye shall find [04672] rest [04771] for your souls [05315]. But they said [0559], We will not walk [03212] therein.
Go not forth [03318] into the field [07704], nor walk [03212] by the way [01870]; for the sword [02719] of the enemy [0341] and fear [04032] is on every side [05439].
I have set [05414] thee for a tower [0969] and a fortress [04013] among my people [05971], that thou mayest know [03045] and try [0974] their way [01870].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], Amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611], and I will cause you to dwell [07931] in this place [04725].
For if ye throughly [03190] amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611]; if ye throughly [06213] execute [06213] judgment [04941] between a man [0376] and his neighbour [07453];
But this thing [01697] commanded [06680] I them, saying [0559], Obey [08085] my voice [06963], and I will be your God [0430], and ye shall be my people [05971]: and walk [01980] ye in all the ways [01870] that I have commanded [06680] you, that it may be well [03190] unto you.
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Learn [03925] not the way [01870] of the heathen [01471], and be not dismayed [02865] at the signs [0226] of heaven [08064]; for the heathen [01471] are dismayed [02865] at them [01992].
O Lord [03068], I know [03045] that the way [01870] of man [0120] is not in himself: it is not in man [0376] that walketh [01980] to direct [03559] his steps [06806].
Righteous [06662] art thou, O Lord [03068], when I plead [07378] with thee: yet let me talk [01696] with thee of thy judgments [04941]: Wherefore doth the way [01870] of the wicked [07563] prosper [06743]? wherefore are all they happy [07951] that deal very [0899] treacherously [0898]?talk…: or, reason the case with thee
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently [03925] learn [03925] the ways [01870] of my people [05971], to swear [07650] by my name [08034], The Lord [03068] liveth [02416]; as they taught [03925] my people [05971] to swear [07650] by Baal [01168]; then shall they be built [01129] in the midst [08432] of my people [05971].
And I will fan [02219] them with a fan [04214] in the gates [08179] of the land [0776]; I will bereave [07921] them of children, I will destroy [06] my people [05971], since they return [07725] not from their ways [01870].children: or, whatsoever is dear
For mine eyes [05869] are upon all their ways [01870]: they are not hid [05641] from my face [06440], neither is their iniquity [05771] hid [06845] from [05048] mine eyes [05869].
I the Lord [03068] search [02713] the heart [03820], I try [0974] the reins [03629], even to give [05414] every man [0376] according to his ways [01870], and according to the fruit [06529] of his doings [04611].
Now therefore go to, speak [0559] to the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Behold, I frame [03335] evil [07451] against you, and devise [02803] a device [04284] against you: return [07725] ye now every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and make your ways [01870] and your doings [04611] good [03190].
Because my people [05971] hath forgotten [07911] me, they have burned incense [06999] to vanity [07723], and they have caused them to stumble [03782] in their ways [01870] from the ancient [05769] paths [07635] [07635], to walk [03212] in paths [05410], in a way [01870] not cast up [05549];
And unto this people [05971] thou shalt say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Behold, I set [05414] before [06440] you the way [01870] of life [02416], and the way [01870] of death [04194].
I spake [01696] unto thee in thy prosperity [07962]; but thou saidst [0559], I will not hear [08085]. This hath been thy manner [01870] from thy youth [05271], that thou obeyedst [08085] not my voice [06963].prosperity: Heb. prosperities
Wherefore their way [01870] shall be unto them as slippery [02519] ways in the darkness [0653]: they shall be driven on [01760], and fall [05307] therein: for I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon them, even the year [08141] of their visitation [06486], saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
But if they had stood [05975] in my counsel [05475], and had caused my people [05971] to hear [08085] my words [01697], then they should have turned [07725] them from their evil [07451] way [01870], and from the evil [07455] of their doings [04611].
They said [0559], Turn ye again [07725] now every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and from the evil [07455] of your doings [04611], and dwell [03427] in the land [0127] that the Lord [03068] hath given [05414] unto you and to your fathers [01] for [05704] ever [05769] and ever [05769]:
If so be they will hearken [08085], and turn [07725] every man [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], that I may repent [05162] me of the evil [07451], which I purpose [02803] to do [06213] unto them because [06440] of the evil [07455] of their doings [04611].
Therefore now amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611], and obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] your God [0430]; and the Lord [03068] will repent [05162] him of the evil [07451] that he hath pronounced [01696] against you.
And Hananiah [02608] spake [0559] in the presence [05869] of all the people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Even so will I break [07665] the yoke [05923] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] from the neck [06677] of all nations [01471] within the space of two full [03117] years [08141]. And the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] went [03212] his way [01870].
They shall come [0935] with weeping [01065], and with supplications [08469] will I lead [02986] them: I will cause them to walk [03212] by the rivers [05158] of waters [04325] in a straight [03477] way [01870], wherein they shall not stumble [03782]: for I am a father [01] to Israel [03478], and Ephraim [0669] is my firstborn [01060].supplications: or, favours
Set thee up [05324] waymarks [06725], make [07760] thee high heaps [08564]: set [07896] thine heart [03820] toward the highway [04546], even the way [01870] which thou wentest [01980]: turn again [07725], O virgin [01330] of Israel [03478], turn again [07725] to these thy cities [05892].
Great [01419] in counsel [06098], and mighty [07227] in work [05950]: for thine eyes [05869] are open [06491] upon all the ways [01870] of the sons [01121] of men [0120]: to give [05414] every one [0376] according to his ways [01870], and according to the fruit [06529] of his doings [04611]:work: Heb. doing
And I will give [05414] them one [0259] heart [03820], and one [0259] way [01870], that they may fear [03372] me for ever [03117], for the good [02896] of them, and of their children [01121] after [0310] them:for ever: Heb. all days
I have sent [07971] also unto you all my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], rising up early [07925] and sending [07971] them, saying [0559], Return [07725] ye now every man [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and amend [03190] your doings [04611], and go [03212] not after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them, and ye shall dwell in [03427] the land [0127] which I have given [05414] to you and to your fathers [01]: but ye have not inclined [05186] your ear [0241], nor hearkened [08085] unto me.
It may be that the house [01004] of Judah [03063] will hear [08085] all the evil [07451] which I purpose [02803] to do [06213] unto them; that they may return [07725] every man [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]; that I may forgive [05545] their iniquity [05771] and their sin [02403].
It may be they will present [05307] their supplication [08467] before [06440] the Lord [03068], and will return [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]: for great [01419] is the anger [0639] and the fury [02534] that the Lord [03068] hath pronounced [01696] against this people [05971].they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail
And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] saw [07200] them, and all the men [0582] of war [04421], then they fled [01272], and went forth [03318] out of the city [05892] by night [03915], by the way [01870] of the king's [04428] garden [01588], by the gate [08179] betwixt the two walls [02346]: and he went out [03318] the way [01870] of the plain [06160].
That the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] may shew [05046] us the way [01870] wherein we may walk [03212], and the thing [01697] that we may do [06213].
O inhabitant [03427] of Aroer [06177], stand [05975] by the way [01870], and espy [06822]; ask [07592] him that fleeth [05127], and her that escapeth [04422], and say [0559], What is done [01961]?inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress
They shall ask [07592] the way [01870] to Zion [06726] with their faces [06440] thitherward [02008], saying, Come [0935], and let us join [03867] ourselves to the Lord [03068] in a perpetual [05769] covenant [01285] that shall not be forgotten [07911].
Then the city [05892] was broken up [01234], and all the men [0582] of war [04421] fled [01272], and went forth [03318] out of the city [05892] by night [03915] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] between the two walls [02346], which was by the king's [04428] garden [01588]; (now the Chaldeans [03778] were by the city [05892] round about [05439]:) and they went [03212] by the way [01870] of the plain [06160].
