Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

[even] upon [the extreme] part of the earth; for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, He is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, says the Lord.

Hear, O you mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and you valleys; even the foundations of the earth: for the Lord has a controversy with His people, and will plead with Israel.

Even Judah as well kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practiced, and rejected the Lord.

And the Lord was angry with the whole seed of Israel, and troubled them, and gave them into the hand of them that spoiled them, until He cast them out of His presence.

therefore behold, the Lord shall bring upon you the water of the river, strong and abundant, [even] the king of the Assyrians, and his glory; and he shall come up over every valley of yours, and shall walk over every wall of yours;

and he shall take away from Judah [every] man who shall be able to lift up his head, [and everyone] able to accomplish anything; and his camp shall fill the breadth of your land, [O] Immanuel.

I will send My wrath against a sinful nation, and I will command My people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make dust out of them.

And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a certificate of divorce) yet faithless Judah feared not, but went and also committed fornication herself.

And for all these things faithless Judah turned not to Me with all her heart, but falsely.

And her sister Oholibah saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.

And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.

having variegated belts on their loins, having also richly dyed [turbans] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.

And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.

And you multiplied your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, in which you committed harlotry in Egypt,

And you looked upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you did in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.

You walked in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.

Thus says the Lord: Drink your sister's cup, deep and large and full, to cause complete drunkenness.

And I will recompense on her the days of Baalam, wherein she sacrificed to them, and put on her earrings, and her necklaces, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me, says the Lord.

For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the Lord will not accept them. Now will He remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins; they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.

They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill. He will remember their iniquities, He will take vengeance on their sins.

And it shall come to pass, when the Lord has finished doing all things on Mount Zion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.

And God shall bring [His] hand upon the host of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.

Woe to the transgressor! Evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.

as one about to render a recompense, [even] reproach to His adversaries.

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will render to each according to his works.

who will recompense to each one according to his works:

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for what a man sows, this also he will reap.
