Chap. V.
note
Notwithstanding great miseries threatned against the tenne tribes: 4. yet if
they wil repent they shal escape: 7. otherwise they shal fal into captiuitie:
14. and therfore they are admonished to returne to God: 16. but being
obstinate, 21. no sacrifice can appeaze Gods wrath.
1 Heare ye this word, that I lift vpon you note a lamentation.
The house of Israel is fallen, and it shal not adde to rise
againe.
2 The virgine of Israel is cast forth vpon her land,
there is none to rayse her vp.
3 Because thus sayth our Lord
God: The citie, out of which came forth a thousand, there shal
be left in it an hundred: and out of which there came an hundred,
there shal be left in it tenne, in the house of Israel.
4 Because thus sayth our Lord to the house of Israel: Seeke ye
me, and you shal liue.
5 And seeke not Bethel, and into Galgal
enter not, and into Bersabee you shal not passe: because Galgal
shal be led captiue, and Bethel shal be vnprofitable.
6 Seke
ye our Lord: and liue: lest perhaps the house of Ioseph be
burnt as fyre, and it shal deuoure, and there shal be none to
quench Bethel.
7 You that turne iudgement into wormewod,
and leaue of iustice in the land.
8 Him that maketh Arcturus,
and Orion, and that turneth darknes into morning, and that
changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and
powreth them out vpon the face of the earth: The Lord is his
name.
9 He that seeketh destruction vpon the strong, and
bringeth depopulation vpon the mightie.
10 They haue hated
him that rebuketh in the gate: and him that speaketh perfectly
they haue abhorred.
11 Therfore because you spoiled the
poore, and tooke the chosen praye from him: you shal build
houses with square stone, and shal not dwel in them: you shal
plant most amiable vineyards, and shal not drinke the wine of
them.
12 Because I haue knowen manie your wickednesses,
and your strong sinnes: enemies of the iust, taking bribe, and
oppressing the poore in the gate.
13 Therfore shal the wise at
that time hold his peace, because it is an euil time.
14 Seeke ye
good, and not euil, that you may liue: and our Lord the God of
-- --
hosts wil be with you, as you haue sayd.
15 Hate ye euil, and loue
good, and establish iudgement in the gate: note if perhaps our
Lord the God of hosts may haue mercie on the remnant of
Ioseph.
16 Therfore thus sayth our Lord the God of hosts the
Dominatour, in al streates lamentation: and in al places that are
without, shal be sayd wo wo: and they shal cal the husbandman
to mourning, and to lamentation them that know to
lament.
17 And in al vineyardes there shal be lamentation: because
I wil passe through in the middes of thee, sayth our Lord.
18 Wo vnto them that desyre the day of our Lord: to what purpose
the same vnto you? This day of our Lord, darkenes, and
not light.
19 As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, & a
beare should mete him: & enter into the house, & leane with
his hand vpon the wal, and a serpent should bite him.
20 Why, is
not the day of our Lord darkenes, and not light: and mist, and
no shining therein?
21 I haue hated, and haue reiected your
festiuities: and I wil not take the odour of your assemblies.
22 And if you shal offer vnto me holocausts, and your gifts, I
wil not receiue them: and the vowes of your fat thinges I wil
not respect.
23 Take away from me the tumult of thy songes:
and the canticles of thy harpe I wil not heare.
24 And iudgement
shal be reueled as water, and iustice, as a mightie torrent.
25 Why, note did you offer hostes and sacrifice to me in the desert
fourtie yeares, รด house of Israel?
26 And you caried a tabernacle
for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the starre
of your God, which you made to your selues.
27 And I wil
make you remoue beyond Damascus, saith our Lord, the God
of hostes is his name.
