4 if you _will _return Oh _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) the _utterance _of YHWH to_me you _will _return and_if you _will _remove things _of_your _detestable from_my _of_presence and_not you _will _waver.
2 And_you _will _swear by_the _life of_YHWH in_faithfulness in_justice and_in_righteousness and_they _will _bless _themselves in_him/it nations and_in_him they _will _boast.
3 if/because thus YHWH he _says to_the _man _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_to_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) plow to/for_you(pl) unplowed _ground and_do _not sow to thorns.
4 Circumcise _yourselves to_YHWH and_remove the _foreskins _of your _heart _of_of Oh _man _of Yəhūdāh and_the _inhabitants _of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) lest it _should _go _forth like_fire rage _of_my and_it _will _burn and_there_will_not_be one _who_extinguishes from_face/in _front _of the _wickedness _of your(pl)_deeds _of_of.

6 Lift _up a _standard to_Tsiyyōn/(Zion) bring _to _safety do _not stand _still if/because calamity I am_about _to _bring from_the_north and_destruction great.
7 a _lion It _has _gone _up from_its _of_thicket and_a _destroyer _of nations he _has _set _out he _has _gone _out from_his _of_place to_make land _of_your into_a _waste cities _of_your they _will _fall _in _ruins from_not an _inhabitant.
8 On this gird _yourselves(pl) sackcloth(s) mourn and_wail if/because not the _burning _of it _has _turned _back of _the _anger of_YHWH from_us.
9 and_it _was on_day (the)_that the _utterance _of YHWH the _heart _of it _will _perish the_king and_the _heart _of the _officials and_they _will _be _appalled the_priests and_the_prophets they _will _be _astonished.
10 And_I _said alas my_master YHWH truly utterly _(deceive) you _have _deceived (to)_people the_this and_(to)_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) to_say peace it _will _belong to/for_you(pl) and_ a _sword _it _will _reach to the_throat.
11 At_time (the)_that it _will _be _said to_people the_this and_to_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) a _wind scorching bare _heights in_wilderness will _be_the _direction _of the _daughter _of my _people _of_of not to_winnow and_not to_purify.
12 A _wind too_full from_these it _will _come to_me now also I judgements I _will _speak them.
13 There like_clouds he _is _going _up and_like_storm-wind chariots _of_his they _are _swift more_than _eagles horses _of_his woe to/for_us if/because we _are _devastated.
14 Wash from_evil heart _of_your Oh _Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) so _that you _may _be _saved until when will _it _remain in_your _inner _of_being the _thoughts _of your _wickedness _of_of.
15 If/because a _voice is_declaring from_Dān and_it_is_proclaiming trouble from_hill of _ʼEfrayim.
16 Bring _to _remembrance to_nations here proclaim to Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) besiegers are_coming from _(the)_land _of (the)_distance and_they _have _given _forth on the _cities _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) voice _of_their.
17 Like_those _who_guard _of (of)_a _field they _are on/upon_it(f) from_round _about if/because DOM_me it _has _been _rebellious _against the _utterance _of YHWH.
18 Conduct _of_your and_your(pl)_of_deeds they _have _brought _about these_things to/for_you(fs) this wickedness _of_is_your if/because it_is_bitter if/because it _has _reached to heart _of_your.

19 parts _of_my _inward parts _of_my _inward I _am _waiting[fn] the _walls _of my _heart _of_of is_turbulent to/for_me heart _of_my not I _will _keep _silent if/because the_sound _of a _trumpet you _have _heard[fn] my _self _of_Oh the_shout _of battle.
20 Destruction to destruction it _has _been _proclaimed if/because all _of it _has _been _devastated the_earth/land suddenly they _have _been _devastated tents _of_my a _moment curtains _of_my _tent.
21 Until when will _I _see a _standard will _I _hear the_sound _of a _trumpet.

23 I _looked _at DOM the_earth/land and_see/lo/see it_was_formlessness and_emptiness and_near/to the_heavens and_was_not light _of_their.
24 I _looked _at the_mountains and_see/lo/see they_were_quaking and_all the_hills they _shook _to _and _fro.
25 I _looked and_see/lo/see was_not the_humankind and_all (the)_bird _of the_heavens they _had _fled.
26 I _looked and_see/lo/see the_garden-land was_(the)_wilderness and_all cities _of_its they _had _been _pulled _down from_face/in _front _of YHWH from_face/in _front _of the _burning _of his _anger _of_of.
27 if/because thus YHWH he _says a _desolation it _will _be all _of the_earth/land and_complete _destruction not I _will _make.
28 On this it _will _mourn the_earth/land and_they _will _be _dark the_heavens (from)_above on if/because I _have _spoken I _have _resolved and_not I _have _repented and_not I _will _turn _back from_it.
