절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Israel's Unfaithfulness The Lord told me	Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2	to go to Jerusalem and tell everyone that he had said: When you were my young bride, you loved me and followed me through the barren desert.	Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3	You belonged to me alone, like the first part of the harvest, and I severely punished those who mistreated you.	Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
4	Listen, people of Israel,	Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
5	and I, the Lord, will speak. I was never unfair to your ancestors, but they left me and became worthless by following worthless idols.	Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
6	Your ancestors refused to ask for my help, though I had rescued them from Egypt and led them through a treacherous, barren desert, where no one lives or dares to travel.	Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7	I brought you here to my land, where food is abundant, but you made my land filthy with your sins.	And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8	The priests who teach my laws don't care to know me. Your leaders rebel against me; your prophets give messages from Baal and worship false gods.	The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
9	The Accuses His People I will take you to court and accuse you and your descendants *	Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children’s children will I plead.
10	of a crime that no nation has ever committed before. Just ask anyone, anywhere, from the eastern deserts to the islands in the west.	For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11	You will find that no nation has ever abandoned its gods even though they were false. I am the true and glorious God, but you have rejected me to worship idols.	Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
12	Tell the heavens to tremble with fear!	Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord.
13	You, my people, have sinned in two ways— you have rejected me, the source of life-giving water, and you've tried to collect water in cracked and leaking pits dug in the ground.	For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14	People of Israel, you weren't born slaves; you were captured in war.	Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
15	Enemies roared like lions and destroyed your land; towns lie burned and empty.	The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
16	Soldiers from the Egyptian towns of Memphis and Tahpanhes have cracked your skulls.	Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
17	It's all your own fault! You stopped following me, the Lord your God,	Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18	and you trusted the power of Egypt and Assyria.	And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
19	Your own sins will punish you, because it was a bitter mistake for you to reject me without fear of punishment. I, the Lord All-Powerful, have spoken.	Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts.
20	Long ago you left me and broke all ties between us, refusing to be my servant. Now you worship other gods by having sex on hilltops or in the shade of large trees.	For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
21	You were a choice grapevine, but you have become a wild, useless vine.	Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
22	Israel Is Stained with Guilt The Lord said: People of Israel, you are stained with guilt, and no soap or bleach can wash it away.	For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.
23	You deny your sins and say, “We aren't unclean. We haven't worshiped Baal.” But think about what you do in Hinnom Valley. You run back and forth like young camels, as you rush to worship one idol after another.	How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
24	You are a female donkey sniffing the desert air, wanting to mate with just anyone. You are an easy catch!	A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
25	Your shoes are worn out, and your throat is parched from running here and there to worship foreign gods. “Stop!” I shouted, but you replied, “No! I love those gods too much.”	Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
26	You and your leaders are more disgraceful than thieves— you and your kings, your priests and prophets	As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27	worship stone idols and sacred poles as if they had created you and had given you life. You have rejected me, but when you're in trouble, you cry to me for help.	Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28	Go cry to the gods you made! There should be enough of them to save you, because Judah has as many gods as it has towns.	But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29	Israel Rebels against the The Lord said to Israel: You accuse me of not saving you, but I say you have rebelled.	Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the Lord.
30	I tried punishing you, but you refused to come back to me, and like fierce lions you killed my prophets.	In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
31	Now listen to what I say! Did I abandon you in the desert or surround you with darkness? You are my people, yet you have told me, “We'll do what we want, and we refuse to worship you!”	O generation, see ye the word of the Lord. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
32	A bride could not forget to wear her jewelry to her wedding, but you have forgotten me day after day.	Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
33	You are so clever at finding lovers that you could give lessons to a prostitute.	Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
34	You killed innocent people for no reason at all. And even though their blood can be seen on your clothes,	Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
35	you claim to be innocent, and you want me to stop being angry with you. So I'll take you to court, and we'll see who is right.	Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
36	When Assyria let you down, you quickly ran to Egypt, but you'll find no help there,	Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
37	and you will leave in great sadness. I won't let you find help from those you trust.	Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the Lord hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
