KJV ¹ Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

VULC ¹ [Circuite vias Jerusalem,
et aspicite, et considerate,
et quærite in plateis ejus,
an inveniatis virum facientem judicium,
et quærentem fidem :
et propitius ero ei.

WLC ¹ שׁוֹטְט֞וּ בְּחוּצ֣וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֗ם וּרְאוּ־ נָ֤א וּדְעוּ֙ וּבַקְשׁ֣וּ בִרְחוֹבוֹתֶ֔יהָ אִם־ תִּמְצְא֣וּ אִ֔ישׁ אִם־ יֵ֛שׁ עֹשֶׂ֥ה מִשְׁפָּ֖ט מְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֱמוּנָ֑ה וְאֶסְלַ֖ח לָֽהּ׃

KJV ² And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.

VULC ² Quod si etiam : Vivit Dominus, dixerint,
et hoc falso jurabunt.

WLC ² וְאִ֥ם חַי־ יְהֹוָ֖ה יֹאמֵ֑רוּ לָכֵ֥ן לַשֶּׁ֖קֶר יִשָּׁבֵֽעוּ׃

KJV ³ O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

VULC ³ Domine, oculi tui respiciunt fidem :
percussisti eos, et non doluerunt ;
attrivisti eos, et renuerunt accipere disciplinam :
induraverunt facies suas supra petram,
et noluerunt reverti.

WLC ³ יְהֹוָ֗ה עֵינֶיךָ֮ הֲל֣וֹא לֶאֱמוּנָה֒ הִכִּ֤יתָה אֹתָם֙ וְֽלֹא־ חָ֔לוּ כִּלִּיתָ֕ם מֵאֲנ֖וּ קַ֣חַת מוּסָ֑ר חִזְּק֤וּ פְנֵיהֶם֙ מִסֶּ֔לַע מֵאֲנ֖וּ לָשֽׁוּב׃

KJV ⁴ Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

VULC ⁴ Ego autem dixi : Forsitan pauperes sunt et stulti,
ignorantes viam Domini,
judicium Dei sui.

WLC ⁴ וַאֲנִ֣י אָמַ֔רְתִּי אַךְ־ דַּלִּ֖ים הֵ֑ם נוֹאֲל֕וּ כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יָדְעוּ֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֔ה מִשְׁפַּ֖ט אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

KJV ⁵ I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

VULC ⁵ Ibo igitur ad optimates, et loquar eis :
ipsi enim cognoverunt viam Domini,
judicium Dei sui :
et ecce magis hi simul confregerunt jugum ;
ruperunt vincula.

WLC ⁵ אֵֽלֲכָה־ לִּ֤י אֶל־ הַגְּדֹלִים֙ וַאֲדַבְּרָ֣ה אוֹתָ֔ם כִּ֣י הֵ֗מָּה יָדְעוּ֙ דֶּ֣רֶךְ יְהוָ֔ה מִשְׁפַּ֖ט אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם אַ֣ךְ הֵ֤מָּה יַחְדָּו֙ שָׁ֣בְרוּ עֹ֔ל נִתְּק֖וּ מוֹסֵרֽוֹת׃

KJV ⁶ Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

VULC ⁶ Idcirco percussit eos leo de silva ;
lupus ad vesperam vastavit eos :
pardus vigilans super civitates eorum :
omnis qui egressus fuerit ex eis capietur :
quia multiplicatæ sunt prævaricationes eorum ;
confortatæ sunt aversiones eorum.

WLC ⁶ עַל־ כֵּן֩ הִכָּ֨ם אַרְיֵ֜ה מִיַּ֗עַר זְאֵ֤ב עֲרָבוֹת֙ יְשָׁדְדֵ֔ם נָמֵ֤ר שֹׁקֵד֙ עַל־ עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם כָּל־ הַיּוֹצֵ֥א מֵהֵ֖נָּה יִטָּרֵ֑ף כִּ֤י רַבּוּ֙ פִּשְׁעֵיהֶ֔ם עָצְמ֖וּ

KJV ⁷ How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

VULC ⁷ Super quo propitius tibi esse potero ?
filii tui dereliquerunt me,
et jurant in his qui non sunt dii.
Saturavi eos, et mœchati sunt,
et in domo meretricis luxuriabantur.

WLC ⁷ אֵ֤י לָזֹאת֙ לָ֔ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ עֲזָב֔וּנִי וַיִּשָּׁבְע֖וּ בְּלֹ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים וָאַשְׂבִּ֤עַ אוֹתָם֙ וַיִּנְאָ֔פוּ וּבֵ֥ית זוֹנָ֖ה יִתְגֹּדָֽדוּ׃

KJV ⁸ They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.

VULC ⁸ Equi amatores et emissarii facti sunt :
unusquisque ad uxorem proximi sui hinniebat.

WLC ⁸ סוּסִ֥ים מְיֻזָּנִ֖ים מַשְׁכִּ֣ים הָי֑וּ אִ֛ישׁ אֶל־ אֵ֥שֶׁת רֵעֵ֖הוּ יִצְהָֽלוּ׃

KJV ⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

VULC ⁹ Numquid super his non visitabo, dicit Dominus,
et in gente tali non ulciscetur anima mea ?

WLC ⁹ הַֽעַל־ אֵ֥לֶּה לוֹא־ אֶפְקֹ֖ד נְאֻם־ יְהֹוָ֑ה וְאִם֙ בְּג֣וֹי אֲשֶׁר־ כָּזֶ֔ה לֹ֥א תִתְנַקֵּ֖ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

KJV ¹⁰ Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's.

VULC ¹⁰ Ascendite muros ejus, et dissipate :
consummationem autem nolite facere :
auferte propagines ejus,
quia non sunt Domini.

WLC ¹⁰ עֲל֤וּ בְשָׁרוֹתֶ֙יהָ֙ וְשַׁחֵ֔תוּ וְכָלָ֖ה אַֽל־ תַּעֲשׂ֑וּ הָסִ֙ירוּ֙ נְטִ֣ישׁוֹתֶ֔יהָ כִּ֛י ל֥וֹא לַיהוָ֖ה הֵֽמָּה׃

KJV ¹¹ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.

VULC ¹¹ Prævaricatione enim prævaricata est in me
domus Israël, et domus Juda, ait Dominus.

WLC ¹¹ כִּי֩ בָג֨וֹד בָּגְד֜וּ בִּ֗י בֵּ֧ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וּבֵ֥ית יְהוּדָ֖ה נְאֻם־ יְהוָֽה׃

KJV ¹² They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

VULC ¹² Negaverunt Dominum, et dixerunt :
Non est ipse : neque veniet super nos malum :
gladium et famem non videbimus.

WLC ¹² כִּֽחֲשׁוּ֙ בַּיהוָ֔ה וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ לֹא־ ה֑וּא וְלֹא־ תָב֤וֹא עָלֵ֙ינוּ֙ רָעָ֔ה וְחֶ֥רֶב וְרָעָ֖ב ל֥וֹא נִרְאֶֽה׃

KJV ¹³ And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

VULC ¹³ Prophetæ fuerunt in ventum locuti,
et responsum non fuit in eis :
hæc ergo evenient illis.

WLC ¹³ וְהַנְּבִיאִים֙ יִֽהְי֣וּ לְר֔וּחַ וְהַדִּבֵּ֖ר אֵ֣ין בָּהֶ֑ם כֹּ֥ה יֵעָשֶׂ֖ה לָהֶֽם׃

KJV ¹⁴ Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

VULC ¹⁴ Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum :
Quia locuti estis verbum istud,
ecce ego do verba mea in ore tuo in ignem,
et populum istum in ligna,
et vorabit eos.

WLC ¹⁴ לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י צְבָא֔וֹת יַ֚עַן דַּבֶּרְכֶ֔ם אֶת־ הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה הִנְנִ֣י נֹתֵן֩ דְּבָרַ֨י בְּפִ֜יךָ לְאֵ֗שׁ וְהָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֛ה עֵצִ֖ים וַאֲכָלָֽתַם׃

KJV ¹⁵ Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

VULC ¹⁵ Ecce ego adducam super vos gentem de longinquo,
domus Israël, ait Dominus :
gentem robustam,
gentem antiquam,
gentem cujus ignorabis linguam,
nec intelliges quid loquatur.

WLC ¹⁵ הִנְנִ֣י מֵבִיא֩ עֲלֵיכֶ֨ם גּ֧וֹי מִמֶּרְחָ֛ק בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל נְאֻם־ יְהֹוָ֑ה גּ֣וֹי ׀ אֵיתָ֣ן ה֗וּא גּ֤וֹי מֵעוֹלָם֙ ה֔וּא גּ֚וֹי לֹא־ תֵדַ֣ע לְשֹׁנ֔וֹ וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁמַ֖ע מַה־ יְדַבֵּֽר׃

KJV ¹⁶ Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.

VULC ¹⁶ Pharetra ejus quasi sepulchrum patens ;
universi fortes.

WLC ¹⁶ אַשְׁפָּת֖וֹ כְּקֶ֣בֶר פָּת֑וּחַ כֻּלָּ֖ם גִּבּוֹרִֽים׃

KJV ¹⁷ And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

VULC ¹⁷ Et comedet segetes tuas et panem tuum ;
devorabit filios tuos et filias tuas ;
comedet gregem tuum et armenta tua ;
comedet vineam tuam et ficum tuam :
et conteret urbes munitas tuas,
in quibus tu habes fiduciam, gladio.

WLC ¹⁷ וְאָכַ֨ל קְצִֽירְךָ֜ וְלַחְמֶ֗ךָ יֹאכְלוּ֙ בָּנֶ֣יךָ וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יךָ יֹאכַ֤ל צֹאנְךָ֙ וּבְקָרֶ֔ךָ יֹאכַ֥ל גַּפְנְךָ֖ וּתְאֵנָתֶ֑ךָ יְרֹשֵׁ֞שׁ עָרֵ֣י מִבְצָרֶ֗יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתָּ֛ה בּוֹטֵ֥חַ בָּהֵ֖נָּה בֶּחָֽרֶב׃

KJV ¹⁸ Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.

VULC ¹⁸ Verumtamen in diebus illis, ait Dominus,
non faciam vos in consummationem.

WLC ¹⁸ וְגַ֛ם בַּיָּמִ֥ים הָהֵ֖מָּה נְאֻם־ יְהֹוָ֑ה לֹֽא־ אֶעֱשֶׂ֥ה אִתְּכֶ֖ם כָּלָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁹ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's.

VULC ¹⁹ Quod si dixeritis :
Quare fecit nobis Dominus Deus noster hæc omnia ?
dices ad eos :
Sicut dereliquistis me,
et servistis deo alieno in terra vestra,
sic servietis alienis in terra non vestra.

WLC ¹⁹ וְהָיָה֙ כִּ֣י תֹאמְר֔וּ תַּ֣חַת מֶ֗ה עָשָׂ֨ה יְהֹוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵ֛ינוּ לָ֖נוּ אֶת־ כָּל־ אֵ֑לֶּה וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר עֲזַבְתֶּ֤ם אוֹתִי֙ וַתַּעַבְד֞וּ אֱלֹהֵ֤י נֵכָר֙ בְּאַרְצְכֶ֔ם כֵּ֚ן תַּעַבְד֣וּ זָרִ֔ים בְּאֶ֖רֶץ לֹ֥א לָכֶֽם׃

KJV ²⁰ Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

VULC ²⁰ Annuntiate hoc domui Jacob,
et auditum facite in Juda, dicentes :

WLC ²⁰ הַגִּ֥ידוּ זֹ֖את בְּבֵ֣ית יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְהַשְׁמִיע֥וּהָ בִיהוּדָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃

KJV ²¹ Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

VULC ²¹ Audi, popule stulte, qui non habes cor :
qui habentes oculos, non videtis ;
et aures, et non auditis.

WLC ²¹ שִׁמְעוּ־ נָ֣א זֹ֔את עַ֥ם סָכָ֖ל וְאֵ֣ין לֵ֑ב עֵינַ֤יִם לָהֶם֙ וְלֹ֣א יִרְא֔וּ אָזְנַ֥יִם לָהֶ֖ם וְלֹ֥א יִשְׁמָֽעוּ׃

KJV ²² Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

VULC ²² Me ergo non timebitis, ait Dominus,
et a facie mea non dolebitis ?
qui posui arenam terminum mari,
præceptum sempiternum quod non præteribit :
et commovebuntur, et non poterunt ;
et intumescent fluctus ejus, et non transibunt illud.

WLC ²² הַאוֹתִ֨י לֹא־ תִירָ֜אוּ נְאֻם־ יְהֹוָ֗ה אִ֤ם מִפָּנַי֙ לֹ֣א תָחִ֔ילוּ אֲשֶׁר־ שַׂ֤מְתִּי חוֹל֙ גְּב֣וּל לַיָּ֔ם חָק־ עוֹלָ֖ם וְלֹ֣א יַעַבְרֶ֑נְהוּ וַיִּֽתְגָּעֲשׁוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יוּכָ֔לוּ וְהָמ֥וּ גַלָּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א יַעַבְרֻֽנְהוּ׃

KJV ²³ But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

VULC ²³ Populo autem huic factum est cor incredulum et exasperans :
recesserunt, et abierunt.

WLC ²³ וְלָעָ֤ם הַזֶּה֙ הָיָ֔ה לֵ֖ב סוֹרֵ֣ר וּמוֹרֶ֑ה סָ֖רוּ וַיֵּלֵֽכוּ׃

KJV ²⁴ Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

VULC ²⁴ Et non dixerunt in corde suo :
Metuamus Dominum Deum nostrum,
qui dat nobis pluviam temporaneam et serotinam in tempore suo,
plenitudinem annuæ messis custodientem nobis.

WLC ²⁴ וְלֹֽא־ אָמְר֣וּ בִלְבָבָ֗ם נִ֤ירָא נָא֙ אֶת־ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ הַנֹּתֵ֗ן גֶּ֛שֶׁם וּמַלְק֖וֹשׁ בְּעִתּ֑וֹ שְׁבֻע֛וֹת חֻקּ֥וֹת קָצִ֖יר יִשְׁמָר־ לָֽנוּ׃

KJV ²⁵ Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

VULC ²⁵ Iniquitates vestræ declinaverunt hæc,
et peccata vestra prohibuerunt bonum a vobis :

WLC ²⁵ עֲוֺנוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם הִטּוּ־ אֵ֑לֶּה וְחַטֹּ֣אותֵיכֶ֔ם מָנְע֥וּ הַטּ֖וֹב מִכֶּֽם׃

KJV ²⁶ For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

VULC ²⁶ quia inventi sunt in populo meo impii insidiantes quasi aucupes,
laqueos ponentes et pedicas ad capiendos viros.

WLC ²⁶ כִּי־ נִמְצְא֥וּ בְעַמִּ֖י רְשָׁעִ֑ים יָשׁוּר֙ כְּשַׁ֣ךְ יְקוּשִׁ֔ים הִצִּ֥יבוּ מַשְׁחִ֖ית אֲנָשִׁ֥ים יִלְכֹּֽדוּ׃

KJV ²⁷ As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

VULC ²⁷ Sicut decipula plena avibus,
sic domus eorum plenæ dolo :
ideo magnificati sunt et ditati.

WLC ²⁷ כִּכְלוּב֙ מָ֣לֵא ע֔וֹף כֵּ֥ן בָּתֵּיהֶ֖ם מְלֵאִ֣ים מִרְמָ֑ה עַל־ כֵּ֥ן גָּדְל֖וּ וַֽיַּעֲשִֽׁירוּ׃

KJV ²⁸ They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

VULC ²⁸ Incrassati sunt et impinguati,
et præterierunt sermones meos pessime.
Causam viduæ non judicaverunt,
causam pupilli non direxerunt,
et judicium pauperum non judicaverunt.

WLC ²⁸ שָׁמְנ֣וּ עָשְׁת֗וּ גַּ֚ם עָֽבְר֣וּ דִבְרֵי־ רָ֔ע דִּ֣ין לֹא־ דָ֔נוּ דִּ֥ין יָת֖וֹם וְיַצְלִ֑יחוּ וּמִשְׁפַּ֥ט אֶבְיוֹנִ֖ים לֹ֥א שָׁפָֽטוּ׃

KJV ²⁹ Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

VULC ²⁹ Numquid super his non visitabo, dicit Dominus,
aut super gentem hujuscemodi non ulciscetur anima mea ?

WLC ²⁹ הַֽעַל־ אֵ֥לֶּה לֹֽא־ אֶפְקֹ֖ד נְאֻם־ יְהֹוָ֑ה אִ֚ם בְּג֣וֹי אֲשֶׁר־ כָּזֶ֔ה לֹ֥א תִתְנַקֵּ֖ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

KJV ³⁰ A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

VULC ³⁰ Stupor et mirabilia facta sunt in terra :

KJV ³¹ The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

VULC ³¹ prophetæ prophetabant mendacium,
