¶ The .viii. Chapter.
¶ The destruccyon of the Iewes. The Lord moueth
the people to amendement, reckenyng vp theyr synnes.
He reprehendeth the lying doctryne of the Prophetes
and prestes.
A At the same tyme sayeth þe; Lorde, the
bones of þe; kynges of Iuda, þe; bones
of his prynces, the bones of þe; prestes
∧ prophetes, yee, ∧ the bones of the cytezins
of Ierusalem, shall be brought out of theyr
graues ∧ layed agaynst the. noteSunne, the
Moone ∧ all þe; heauenly hoost: whom they
loued, whom they serued, whom they ranne
after, whom they sought and worshypped.
They shall nether be gathered together ner
buryed, but shall lye as d&obar;ge vpon þe; earth,
to theyr shame and despysynge.
noteAnd all they þt; remayne of this wycked
generacion, shall desyre rather to dye th&ebar; to
lyue: wheresoeuer they remaine, and whereas
I scatre them, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Thys shalt þu; saye vnto them also.
B Thus
sayeth the Lorde. Do men fall so, that they
aryse not vp agayne? Or yf Israell repent,
wyll not god turne ageyn to them? Wherfore
then is this people ∧ Ierusalem gone
so farre backe, that they turne not agayne?
They are euer the l&obar;ger the more obstinat,
and wyll not be conuerted.
noteFor I haue loked, ∧ c&obar;sydered: but there
is no man þt; speaketh a good word: there
is no man that taketh repentaunce for hys
synne, that wyll so moch as saye: wherfore,
-- --
haue I done thys? But euery man (as soone
as he is turned backe) r&ubar;neth forth styll,
lyke a wylde horse &ibar; a battayll. The Storke
in þe; ayer knoweth hys apoynted tyme,
the Turtle doue the Swalow ∧ the Crane
C
consydre the tyme of theyr trauayll, note but
my people wyll not knowe the tyme of the
punyshment of þe; Lorde. How darre ye saye
then, we are wyse, we haue the lawe of the
Lorde amonge vs?
Suerly in vayne hath he prepared his p&ebar;ne,
∧ vaynly haue the wryters wryten it:
therfore shall the wyse be confounded, they
shalbe afrayed ∧ taken: for lo, note they haue
cast out the worde of the Lorde: what wysdome
can then be am&obar;ge them? Wherfore,
I wyll geue theyr wyues vnto aleauntes,
and theyr feldes to destroyers.
D noteFor from the lowest vnto þe; hyest, they
folowe all filthy lucre: ∧ from þe; Prophete
vnto þe; preste, they deale all &wt; lyes. noteNeuerthelesse,
they heale þe; hurte of my people very
slenderlye, sayenge: peace, peace, where
there is no peace at all.
Fye for shame, how abhominable thynges
do they? and yet they be not ashamed,
yee, they knowe of no shame.
noteWherfore, in the tyme of theyr visytacion,
they shall fall am&obar;ge þe; deed bodyes, ∧
be ouerthrowne sayeth the Lorde.
Moreouer, I wyll consume th&ebar; in deade
(sayeth the Lord) so þt; there shall not be one
grape vpon þe; vyne,
E nether one fygg vpon
the fyge tre, and the leaues shalbe plucte of.
And the thynge þt; I haue gyuen them shall
be taken fr&obar; th&ebar;: why prolonge we þe; tyme?
Let vs gather oure selues together, and go
into þe; str&obar;ge cytie, there shall we be in rest.
For þe; Lorde oure God hath put vs to syl&ebar;ce,
∧ geuen vs water mixte &wt; gall, to dryncke:
because we haue synned agaynst hym.
F noteWe loked for peace, ∧ we fare not the
better, we wayted for the tyme of health, ∧
lo, here is nothynge but trouble.
The noyse of his horsses is hearde from
Dan, þe; whole l&abar;de is afrayed at þe; neyenge
of his stronge horsses: for they are come in,
∧ haue deuoured þe; l&abar;de, &wt; all þt; is in it: þe; cyties,
and those þt; dwell therin. noteMoreouer,
I wyll sende Cockatrices ∧ serp&ebar;tes amonge
you (which wyll not be charmed) ∧ they
shall byte you, sayeth the Lorde.
G I wolde haue had c&obar;forte ag&ebar;st sorowe:
but sorowe is come vpon me, and heuynes
vexeth my hert: for lo, þe; voyce of þe; cryenge
of my people is herde for feare of them, that
come from a farre co&ubar;tre. Is not the Lorde
in Syon? Is not þe; Kyng, in her? Wherfore
then haue they greued me (shall the Lorde
saye) &wt; theyr ymages ∧ foolysh straunge
fashyons of a foreyne god? The haruest is
gone, the S&obar;mer hath an ende, ∧ we are not
helped. I am sore vexed, because of þe; hurte
of my people. I am heuy ∧ abashed, is ther
no triacle at Gilead? Is ther no physycyon
ther? Why then is not the helthe of my people
recouered?
