1"At that time," declares the LORD, "the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
2They will be exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the host of heaven which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up or buried, but will become like dung lying on the ground.
“And they shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all of the hosts of heaven whom they have loved and whom they have served and after whom they have walked and whom they have sought and whom they have worshipped. They…”
3And wherever I have banished them, the remnant of this evil family will choose death over life," declares the LORD of Hosts.
“and death shall be chosen rather than life by the residue of them that remain in this evil family, which remain in all of the places whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.”

4So you are to tell them this is what the LORD says: "Do men fall and not get up again? Does one turn away and not return?
“you shall say to them, thus says the Lord, do men fall and not get up again? Does one turn away and not repent?”
“you shall say to them thus, says the Lord, Do men fall down and not get up again? Does one turn away and not repent?”
5Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.
“Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit. They refuse to return.”
“Why then has this people, Jerusalem, turned away into continual apostasy? They hold fast to deceit, they refuse to return.”
“Why then is this people of Jerusalem slid back by perpetual backsliding? They hold fast, deceit, they refuse to return.”
6I have listened and heard; they do not speak what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, asking, 'What have I done?' Everyone has pursued his own course like a horse charging into battle.
“I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright. No man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.”
7Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
“Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observed the time of their coming. But my people know not the judgment of the Lord.”
“the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming. But my people know not the judgment of the Lord.”

8How can you say, 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,' when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has produced a deception?
“How do ye say we are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo certainly in vain made he it, the pen of the scribes is in vain.”
“How do you say? We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us. Lo, certainly in vain made he it. The pen of the scribes is in vain.”

9The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?
“the wise men are ashamed. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the Word of the Lord. And what wisdom is in them?”
“The wise men are ashamed. They are dismayed and taken. Lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord and what wisdom is in them.”

“The wise men are ashamed. They are dismayed. They are taken behold. They have rejected the word of the Lord. So what wisdom do they have?”
10Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least of them to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice deceit.
“Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them. For every one, from the least even to the greatest, is given to covetousness. From the prophet, even unto the priest, every one…”
“I will give their wives to others and their fields to new owners. Because from the least even to the greatest, everyone is greedy for gain. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone practices deceit.”

12Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse, says the LORD.
“Where are they ashamed? When they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed. Neither could they blush. Therefore shall they fall among them that fall in the time of their visitation. They shall be cast down,…”
“Were they ashamed when they had committed abominations? Nay, they were not at all ashamed. Neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among them that fall. And in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down,…”

“Were they ashamed because of the abominations they had done? They certainly were not ashamed, and they did not know how to blush. Therefore, they shall fall among those who fall. At the time of their punishment, they shall be…”
13I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the tree, and even the leaf will wither. Whatever I have given them will be lost to them."
“I will surely consume them, saith the Lord. There shall be no grapes on the vine nor figs on the fig tree and the leaf shall fade and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.”
“I will surely consume them. Saith the Lord, there shall be no more grapes in the vine nor figs in the fig tree. The leaf shall fade and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.”
14Why are we just sitting here? Gather together, let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there, for the LORD our God has doomed us. He has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
“Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves and let us enter into the defense cities and let us be silent there. For the Lord our God hath put us to silence and given us water of gall to drink because we have sinned against the Lord.”
