¶ The .xvi. chapter.
¶ He prophecyeth the mysery of the Iewes. He sheweth,
that þe; worshyppynge of Idols: ∧ the contempt
of Gods lawe, is the cause of theyr mysery. He prophecyeth
the captiuite of Babylon, &abar;d theyr delyueraunce
from thence agayne, þe; callyng of þe; gentiles.
A Thus sayde the Lord vnto me. Thou
shalt take þe; no wyfe, ner beget chyldr&ebar;
in this place, For of the chyldr&ebar;
that are borne in this place, of theyr mothers
that haue borne them, and of their fathers
that haue begotten them in this l&abar;de
thus sayeth the Lorde. &club; They shall dye an
horrible deeth, note no m&abar; shall mourne for th&ebar;
ner bury them, but they shall lye as donge
vpon the earth. They shall perishe thorow
the swearde and h&obar;ger, note and theyr bodyes
shall be meate for the foules of the ayre, &abar;d
beastes of þe; earth. For thus saieth þe; Lorde:
Go not þu; in vnto them ner come to mourne
and wepe for them: for I haue tak&ebar; my peace
from thys people (sayeth the Lorde) yee
my fauoure ∧ my mercy. And in this lande
shall they dye, olde and yonge, and shall not
be buried:
B no man shall bewepe th&ebar;, no man
shall clyppe or shaue him selfe for them.
There shal not one viset another, to mourne
wyth them for their deed, or to comforte
them. One shal not offre another the cuppe
of consolacyon, to forget theyr heuynes for
father and mother. noteThou shalt not go into
theyr feast house, to syt downe, to eate or
drincke with th&ebar;. For thus sayeth þe; Lorde
of Hostes the God of Israell: note Beholde, I
shall take awaye out of this place, þe; voyce
of myrth &abar;d gladnesse, the voyce of the brydegrome
and of the bryde: yee, and that in
youre dayes, that ye maye se it.
C Now when thou shewest this people all
these wordes, ∧ they saye vnto the. noteWherfore
hath the Lorde deuysed all thys greate
plage for vs? Or what is the offence ∧ synne,
that we haue done agaynst þe; Lorde our
God? Then make thou them this answere:
note Because youre fathers haue forsaken me
(sayeth the Lorde) and haue walked after
straunge goddes, whom they haue honoured
and worshypped: but me haue they forsaken,
and haue not kepte my lawe. noteAnd
ye with your shamefull blasphemyes, haue
exceaded the wyckednes of youre fathers.
For euery one of you hath folowed the frowarde
and euell ymaginacion of his awne
herte, and is not obedient vnto me.
noteTherfore wyll I cast you oute of thys
lande, into a l&abar;de that ye and youre fathers
knowe not: and there shall ye serue stra&ubar;ge
goddes daye and nyght, there wyll I shewe
you no fauoure. noteBeholde therfore (sayeth
the Lorde) the dayes are come, that it shall
nomore be sayde: The Lorde lyueth, which
brought the children of Israel out of þe; l&abar;de
of Egypte: but, it shall be sayde, the Lorde
lyueth, that brought the children of Israell
from the North, and from all landes where
he had scatred them. For I wyl brynge th&ebar;
agayne into the lande, that I gaue vnto
theyr fathers.
D Beholde (sayeth the Lorde) note I wyl s&ebar;de
out many fyshers to take them, and after þt;
wyll I sende out many hunters to hunte
them out, from all mountaynes and hylles
and out of þe; caues of stone. For myne eyes
beholde al theyr wayes, and they cannot be
hyd fro my face, nether can theyr wycked dedes
be kepte close out of my syghte. But
first wyll I suffici&ebar;tly rewarde their shamefull
blasphemies and synnes, because they
haue defyled my lande: Namely with theyr
stincking Idols ∧ with the carayns of their
abhominacions, wherwith they haue filled
myne herytage. noteO Lorde, my str&ebar;gth, my
power, and refuge in tyme of trouble. The
Gentyles shall come vnto the fr&obar; the endes
of the worlde, and saye: Uerely our fathers
haue cleaued vnto lyes, their Idols are but
vayne ∧ vnprofitable. How can a m&abar; make
those his goddes, whyche are not able to be
goddes? And therfore I will once teach th&ebar;,
sayeth the Lorde, I wyll shewe them my
hande ∧ my power, that they maye knowe,
that my name is the Lorde.
