Now the name H8034 of the Israelite H1121 H3478 that was slain, H5221 even that was slain H5221 with the Midianitish H4084 woman, was Zimri, H2174 the son H1121 of Salu, H5543 a prince H5387 of a chief H1 house H1004 among the Simeonites. H8099

And the name H8034 of the Midianitish H4084 woman H802 that was slain H5221 was Cozbi, H3579 the daughter H1323 of Zur; H6698 he was head H7218 over a people, H523 and of a chief H1 house H1004 in Midian. H4080

And Moab H4124 said H559 to the elders H2205 of Midian, H4080 Now H6258 shall this company H6951 lick H3897 up all H3605 that are round H5439 about us, as the ox H7794 licks H3897 up the grass H3418 of the field. H7704 And Balak H1111 the son H1121 of Zippor H6834 was king H4428 of the Moabites H4124 at that time. H6256

Avenge H5358 H5360 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 of the Midianites: H4084 afterward H310 shall you be gathered H622 to your people. H5971

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 took all the women H802 of Midian H4080 captives, H7617 and their little H2945 ones, and took the spoil H962 of all their cattle, H929 and all H3605 their flocks, H4735 and all H3605 their goods. H2428

And they took H3947 all H3605 the spoil, H7998 and all H3605 the prey, H4455 both of men H120 and of beasts. H929

And Moses, H4872 and Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 and all H3605 the princes H5387 of the congregation, H5712 went H3318 forth H3318 to meet H7125 them without H2351 the camp. H4264

And Moses H4872 said H559 to them, Have you saved H2421 all H3605 the women H5347 alive? H2421

But the soul H5315 that does H6213 ought presumptuously, H3027 whether H4480 he be born H249 in the land, H249 or a stranger, H1616 the same H1931 reproaches H1442 the LORD; H3068 and that soul H5315 shall be cut H3772 off from among H7130 his people. H5971

Because H3588 he has despised H959 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and has broken H6565 his commandment, H4687 that soul H5315 shall utterly be cut H3772 off; his iniquity H5771 shall be on him.

And it come H1961 to pass, when he hears H8085 the words H1697 of this H2063 curse, H423 that he bless H1288 himself in his heart, H3824 saying, H559 I shall have peace, H7965 though H3588 I walk H3212 in the imagination H8307 of my heart, H3820 to add H5595 drunkenness H7302 to thirst: H6771

And the LORD H3068 shall separate H914 him to evil H7451 out of all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 according to all H3605 the curses H423 of the covenant H1285 that are written H3789 in this H2088 book H5612 of the law: H8451

Therefore the showers H7241 have been withheld, H4513 and there has been H1961 no H3808 latter H4456 rain; H4456 and you had a whore's H2181 forehead, H4696 you refused H3985 to be ashamed. H3637

Were they ashamed H954 when H3588 they had committed H6213 abomination? H8441 no, H1571 they were not at all ashamed, H954 neither H3808 could H3045 they blush: H3637 therefore H3651 shall they fall H5307 among them that fall: H5307 in the time H6256 of their visitation H6486 they shall be cast H3782 down, H3782 said H559 the LORD. H3068

And it came H1961 to pass, that when Jehudi H3065 had read H7121 three H7969 or four H702 leaves, H1817 he cut H7167 it with the penknife, H8593 and cast H7993 it into H413 the fire H784 that was on H413 the hearth, H254 until H5704 all H3605 the roll H4039 was consumed H8552 in the fire H784 that was on H5921 the hearth. H254

And now H6258 therefore H3651 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 you remnant H7611 of Judah; H3063 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 If H518 you wholly H7760 set H7760 your faces H6440 to enter H935 into Egypt, H4714 and go H935 to sojourn H1481 there; H8033

So shall it be with all H3605 the men H582 that set H7760 their faces H6440 to go H935 into H935 Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there; H8033 they shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence: H1698 and none H3808 of them shall remain H8300 or escape H6412 from the evil H7451 that I will bring H935 on them.

So Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah, H7143 and all H3605 the captains H8269 of the forces, H2428 and all H3605 the people, H5971 obeyed H8085 not the voice H6963 of the LORD, H3068 to dwell H3427 in the land H776 of Judah. H3063

Even H853 men, H1397 and women, H802 and children, H2945 and the king's H4428 daughters, H1323 and every H3605 person H5315 that Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 had left H5117 with Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 the son H1121 of Shaphan, H8227 and Jeremiah H3414 the prophet, H5030 and Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah. H5374

As for the word H1697 that you have spoken H1696 to us in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 we will not listen H8085 to you.

But we will certainly do H6213 whatever H853 H3605 thing H1697 goes H3318 forth H3318 out of our own mouth, H6310 to burn H6999 incense H6999 to the queen H4446 of heaven, H8064 and to pour H5258 out drink H5262 offerings to her, as we have done, H6213 we, and our fathers, H1 our kings, H4428 and our princes, H8269 in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and in the streets H2351 of Jerusalem: H3389 for then had H1961 we plenty H7646 of victuals, H3899 and were well, H2896 and saw H7200 no H3808 evil. H7451

And shall receive G2865 the reward G3408 of unrighteousness, G93 as they that count G2233 it pleasure G2237 to riot G5172 in the day G2250 time. Spots G4696 they are and blemishes, G3470 sporting G1792 themselves with their own G848 deceivings G539 while they feast G4910 with you;

Which have G2192 forsaken G2641 the right G2117 way, G3598 and are gone G4105 astray, G4105 following G1811 the way G3598 of Balaam G903 the son of Bosor, G1007 who G3739 loved G25 the wages G3408 of unrighteousness; G93

Raging G66 waves G2949 of the sea, G2281 foaming G1890 out their own G1438 shame; G152 wandering G4107 stars, G792 to whom G3739 is reserved G5083 the blackness G2217 of darkness G4655 for ever. G165

And it came H1961 to pass, when the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 these H428 words H1697 to all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that the people H5971 lifted H5375 up their voice, H6963 and wept. H1058

Now when these H428 things were done, H3615 the princes H8269 came H5066 to me, saying, H559 The people H5971 of Israel, H3478 and the priests, H3548 and the Levites, H3881 have not separated H914 themselves from the people H5971 of the lands, H776 doing according to their abominations, H8441 even of the Canaanites, H3669 the Hittites, H2850 the Perizzites, H6522 the Jebusites, H2983 the Ammonites, H5984 the Moabites, H4124 the Egyptians, H4713 and the Amorites. H567

And when I heard H8085 this H2088 thing, H1697 I rent H7167 my garment H899 and my mantle, H4598 and plucked H4803 off the hair H8181 of my head H7218 and of my beard, H2206 and sat H3427 down astonished. H8074

Then Ezra H5830 rose H6965 up from before H6440 the house H1004 of God, H430 and went H3212 into H413 the chamber H3957 of Johanan H3076 the son H1121 of Eliashib: H475 and when he came H3212 thither, H8033 he did eat H398 no H3808 bread, H3899 nor H3808 drink H8354 water: H4325 for he mourned H56 because H5921 of the transgression H4604 of them that had been carried H1473 away. H1473

And that whoever H3605 would not come H935 within three H7969 days, H3117 according to the counsel H6098 of the princes H8269 and the elders, H2205 all H3605 his substance H7399 should be forfeited, H2763 and himself H1931 separated H914 from the congregation H6951 of those that had been carried H1473 away. H1473

And in that day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 with sackcloth: H8242

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to him, Go H5674 through H5674 the middle H8432 of the city, H5892 through the middle H8432 of Jerusalem, H3389 and set H8427 a mark H8420 on the foreheads H4696 of the men H582 that sigh H584 and that cry H602 for all H3605 the abominations H8441 that be done H6213 in the middle H8432 thereof.

Slay H2026 utterly old H2205 and young, H970 both maids, H1330 and little H2945 children, H2945 and women: H802 but come H5066 not near H5066 any H3605 man H376 on whom H834 is the mark; H8420 and begin H2490 at my sanctuary. H4720 Then they began H2490 at the ancient H2204 men H582 which H834 were before H6440 the house. H1004

Let the priests, H3548 the ministers H8334 of the LORD, H3068 weep H1058 between H996 the porch H197 and the altar, H4196 and let them say, H559 Spare H2347 your people, H5971 O LORD, H3068 and give H5414 not your heritage H5159 to reproach, H2781 that the heathen H1471 should rule H4910 over them: why H4100 should they say H559 among the people, H5971 Where H346 is their God? H430
