: 1 . The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that
came <1961 hayah > to Joel <3100 Yow>el > the son <1121 ben > of
Pethuel <6602 P@thuw>el > .

: 2 Hear <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th > , ye old <2205
zaqen > men , and give ear <0238 >azan > , all < 3605 kol > ye
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > . Hath
this <2063 zo>th > been <1961 hayah > in your days <3117 yowm > ,
or even <0518 >im > in the days <3117 yowm > of your fathers
<1> ?

: 3 Tell <5608 caphar > ye your children <1121 ben > of it ,
and [ let ] your children <1121 ben > [ tell ] their
children <1121 ben > , and their children <1121 ben > another
<0312 >acher > generation <1755 dowr > .

: 4 That which the palmerworm <1501 gazam > hath left < 3499
yether > hath the locust <0697 >arbeh > eaten < 0398 >akal > ;
and that which the locust <0697 >arbeh > hath left < 3499 yether

that which the cankerworm <3218 yekeq > hath left <3499 yether >
hath the caterpiller <2625 chaciyl > eaten <0398 > akal > .

: 5 Awake <6974 quwts > , ye drunkards <7910 shikkowr > , and
weep <1058 bakah > ; and howl <3213 yalal > , all <3605 kol >
ye drinkers <8354 shathah > of wine <3196 yayin > , because
<5921 <al > of the new wine <6071 <aciyc > ; for it is cut
<3772 karath > off from your mouth <6310 peh > .

: 6 For a nation <1471 gowy > is come <5927 <alah > up upon my
land <0776 >erets > , strong <6099 <atsuwm > , and without
<0369 >ayin > number <4557 micpar > , whose teeth <8127 shen >
[ are ] the teeth <8127 shen > of a lion <0738 >ariy > , and
he hath the cheek <4973 m@thall@<ah > teeth <4973 m@thall@<ah >
of a great <3833 labiy> > lion <3833 labiy> > .

: 7 He hath laid <7760 suwm > my vine <1612 gephen > waste
<8047 shammah > , and barked <7111 q@tsaphah > my fig <8384
t@>en > tree : he hath made it clean bare <2834 chasaph > , and
cast <7993 shalak > [ it ] away ; the branches <8299 sariyg >
thereof are made white <3835 laban > .

: 8 . Lament <0421 >alah > like a virgin <1330 b@thuwlah >
girded <2296 chagar > with sackcloth <8242 saq > for the husband
<1167 ba<al > of her youth <5271 na<uwr > .

: 9 The meat offering <4503 minchah > and the drink < 5262 necek
> offering is cut <3772 karath > off from the house < 1004 bayith
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; the priests <3548 kohen > ,
the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > ministers <8334 sharath > , mourn
<56> .

: 10 The field <7704 sadeh > is wasted <7703 shadad > , the
land <0127 >adamah > mourneth <56> ; for the corn <1715 dagan >
is wasted <7703 shadad > : the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492
tiyrowsh > is dried <3001 yabesh > up , the oil < 3323 yitshar >
languisheth <0535 >amal > .

: 11 Be ye ashamed <0954 buwsh > , O ye husbandmen < 0406
>ikkar > ; howl <3213 yalal > , O ye vinedressers <3755 korem
> , for the wheat <2406 chittah > and for the barley <8184
s@<orah > ; because <3588 kiy > the harvest <7105 qatsiyr > of
the field <7704 sadeh > is perished <6> .

: 12 The vine <1612 gephen > is dried <3001 yabesh > up , and
the fig <8384 t@>en > tree languisheth <0535 >amal > ; the
pomegranate <7416 rimmown > tree , the palm <8558 tamar > tree
also <1571 gam > , and the apple <8598 tappuwach > tree , [
even ] all <3605 kol > the trees <6086 <ets > of the field
<7704 sadeh > , are withered <3001 yabesh > : because <3588 kiy
> joy <8342 sasown > is withered <3001 yabesh > away from the
sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam > .

: 13 Gird <2296 chagar > yourselves , and lament <5594 caphad

ministers <8334 sharath > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > : come
<0935 bow> > , lie <3885 luwn > all <3885 luwn > night in
sackcloth <8242 saq > , ye ministers <8334 sharath > of my God
<0430 >elohiym > : for the meat offering <4503 minchah > and the
drink <5262 necek > offering is withholden <4513 mana< > from
the house <1004 bayith > of your God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 14 . Sanctify <6942 qadash > ye a fast <6685 tsowm > , call
<7121 qara> > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah
> , gather <0622 >acaph > the elders <2205 zaqen > [ and ]
all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776
>erets > [ into ] the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > , and cry < 2199 za<aq >
unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

: 15 Alas <0160 >ahabah > for the day <3117 yowm > ! for the
day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] at <7138
qarowb > hand <7138 qarowb > , and as a destruction < 7701 shod

: 16 Is not the meat <0400 >okel > cut <3772 karath > off
before <5048 neged > our eyes <5869 <ayin > , [ yea ] , joy
<8057 simchah > and gladness <1524 giyl > from the house <1004
bayith > of our God <0430 >elohiym > ?

: 17 The seed <6507 p@rudah > is rotten <5685 <abash > under
<8478 tachath > their clods <4053 migraphah > , the garners
<0214 >owtsar > are laid desolate <8074 shamem > , the barns
<4460 mamm@gurah > are broken <2040 harac > down < 2040 harac > ;
for the corn <1715 dagan > is withered <3001 yabesh > .

: 18 How <4100 mah > do the beasts <0929 b@hemah > groan <0584
>anach > ! the herds <5739 <eder > of cattle < 1241 baqar > are
perplexed <0943 buwk > , because <3588 kiy > they have no <0369
>ayin > pasture <4829 mir<eh > ; yea <1571 gam > , the flocks
<5739 <eder > of sheep <6629 tso>n > are made desolate <0816
>asham > .

: 19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , to thee will I cry <7121 qara> >
: for the fire <0784 >esh > hath devoured <0398 > akal > the
pastures <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > , and
the flame <3852 lehabah > hath burned <3857 lahat > all <3605
kol > the trees <6086 <ets > of the field <7704 sadeh > .

: 20 The beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the field <7704 sadeh > cry
<6165 <arag > also <1571 gam > unto thee : for the rivers <0650
>aphiyq > of waters <4325 mayim > are dried <3001 yabesh > up ,
and the fire <0784 >esh > hath devoured <0398 > akal > the
pastures <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

: Joel 2

: 1 . Blow <8628 taqa< > ye the trumpet <7782 showphar > in
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and sound <7321 ruwa< > an alarm <7321
ruwa< > in my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > : let all
<3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776
>erets > tremble <7264 ragaz > : for the day <3117 yowm > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cometh <0935 bow> > , for [ it is ] nigh
<7126 qarab > at hand ;

: 2 A day <3117 yowm > of darkness <2822 choshek > and of
gloominess <0653 >aphelah > , a day <3117 yowm > of clouds
<6051 <anan > and of thick darkness <6205 <araphel > , as the
morning <7837 shachar > spread <6566 paras > upon the mountains
<2022 har > : a great <7227 rab > people <5971 < am > and a
strong <6099 <atsuwm > ; there hath not been <1961 hayah > ever
<5769 <owlam > the like <3644 k@mow > , neither <3808 lo> >
shall be any more <3254 yacaph > after <0310 >achar > it , [
even ] to the years <8141 shaneh > of many generations < 1755
dowr > .

: 3 A fire <0784 >esh > devoureth <0398 >akal > before <6440
paniym > them ; and behind <0310 >achar > them a flame <3852
lehabah > burneth <3857 lahat > : the land <0776 > erets > [ is
] as the garden <1588 gan > of Eden <5731 <Eden > before <6440
paniym > them , and behind <0310 >achar > them a desolate <8077
sh@mamah > wilderness <4057 midbar > ; yea <1571 gam > , and
nothing <3808 lo> > shall escape <6413 p@leytah > them .

: 4 The appearance <4758 mar>eh > of them [ is ] as the
appearance <4758 mar>eh > of horses <5483 cuwc > ; and as
horsemen <6571 parash > , so <3651 ken > shall they run <7323
ruwts > .

: 5 Like the noise <6963 qowl > of chariots <4818 merkabah > on
<5921 <al > the tops <7218 ro>sh > of mountains <2022 har >
shall they leap <7540 raqad > , like the noise <6963 qowl > of
a flame <3851 lahab > of fire <0784 >esh > that devoureth <0398
>akal > the stubble <7179 qash > , as a strong < 6099 <atsuwm >
people <5971 <am > set in battle <4421 milchamah > array <6186
<arak > .

: 6 Before their face <6440 paniym > the people <5971 <am >
shall be much pained <2342 chuwl > : all <3605 kol > faces <6440
paniym > shall gather <6908 qabats > blackness <6289 pa>ruwr > .

: 7 They shall run <7323 ruwts > like mighty <1368 gibbowr >
men ; they shall climb <5927 <alah > the wall <2346 chowmah >
like men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > ; and they
shall march <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >
on his ways <1870 derek > , and they shall not break < 5670
<abat > their ranks <0734 >orach > :

: 8 Neither <3808 lo> > shall one <0376 >iysh > thrust <1766
dachaq > another <0250 >Ezrachiy > ; they shall walk <3212
yalak > every <1397 geber > one <1397 geber > in his path <4546
m@cillah > : and [ when ] they fall <5307 naphal > upon the
sword <7973 shelach > , they shall not be wounded <1214 batsa<

: 9 They shall run <8264 shaqaq > to and fro <8264 shaqaq > in
the city <5892 <iyr > ; they shall run <7323 ruwts > upon the
wall <2346 chowmah > , they shall climb <5927 <alah > up upon
the houses <1004 bayith > ; they shall enter <0935 bow> > in at
<1157 b@<ad > the windows <2474 challown > like a thief <1590
gannab > .

: 10 The earth <0776 >erets > shall quake <7264 ragaz > before
<6440 paniym > them ; the heavens <8064 shamayim > shall
tremble <7493 ra<ash > : the sun <8121 shemesh > and the moon
<3394 yareach > shall be dark <6937 qadar > , and the stars
<3556 kowkab > shall withdraw <0622 >acaph > their shining <5051
nogahh > :

: 11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall utter <5414 nathan >
his voice <6963 qowl > before <6440 paniym > his army <2428
chayil > : for his camp <4264 machaneh > [ is ] very <3966
m@<od > great <7227 rab > : for [ he is ] strong <6099 <atsuwm

day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] great
<1419 gadowl > and very <3966 m@<od > terrible < 3372 yare> > ;
and who <4310 miy > can abide <3557 kuwl > it ?

: 12 . Therefore <1571 gam > also <1571 gam > now <6258 <attah

shuwb > ye [ even ] to me with all <3605 kol > your heart
<3824 lebab > , and with fasting <6685 tsowm > , and with
weeping <1065 B@kiy > , and with mourning <4553 micepd > :

: 13 And rend <7167 qara< > your heart <3824 lebab > , and not
your garments <0899 beged > , and turn <7725 shuwb > unto the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > : for he [ is ]
gracious <2587 channuwn > and merciful <7349 rachuwm > , slow
<0750 >arek > to anger <0639 >aph > , and of great <7227 rab >
kindness <2617 checed > , and repenteth <5162 nacham > him of
the evil <7451 ra< > .

: 14 Who <4310 miy > knoweth <3045 yada< > [ if ] he will
return <7725 shuwb > and repent <5162 nacham > , and leave
<7604 sha>ar > a blessing <1293 B@rakah > behind <0310 >achar >
him ; [ even ] a meat offering <4503 minchah > and a drink
<5262 necek > offering unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God
<0430 >elohiym > ?

: 15 Blow <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > in Zion
<6726 Tsiyown > , sanctify <6942 qadash > a fast < 6685 tsowm > ,
call <7121 qara> > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116
<atsarah > :

<6942 qadash > the congregation <6951 qahal > , assemble <6908
qabats > the elders <2205 zaqen > , gather <0622 > acaph > the
children <5768 <owlel > , and those that suck <3243 yanaq > the
breasts <7699 shad > : let the bridegroom <2860 chathan > go
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > of his chamber <2315 cheder

chuppah > .

: 17 Let the priests <3548 kohen > , the ministers < 8334
sharath > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , weep <1058 bakah >
between <0996 beyn > the porch <0197 >uwlam > and the altar
<4196 mizbeach > , and let them say <0559 >amar > , Spare
<2347 chuwc > thy people <5971 <am > , O LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
and give <5414 nathan > not thine heritage <5159 nachalah > to
reproach <2781 cherpah > , that the heathen <1471 gowy > should
rule <4910 mashal > over them : wherefore <4100 mah > should
they say <0559 >amar > among the people <5971 <am > , Where
<0346 >ayeh > [ is ] their God <0430 >elohiym > ?

: 18 . Then will the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > be jealous < 7065
qana> > for his land <0776 >erets > , and pity <2550 chamal >
his people <5971 <am > .

: 19 Yea , the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will answer <6030 <anah >
and say <0559 >amar > unto his people <5971 <am > , Behold
<2005 hen > , I will send <7971 shalach > you corn <1715 dagan

ye shall be satisfied <7646 saba< > therewith <0854 >eth > : and
I will no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > make <5414 nathan > you
a reproach <2781 cherpah > among the heathen <1471 gowy > :

: 20 But I will remove <7368 rachaq > far <7368 rachaq > off
from you the northern <6830 ts@phowniy > [ army ] , and will
drive <5080 nadach > him into <0413 >el > a land <0776 >erets >
barren <6723 tsiyah > and desolate <8077 sh@mamah > , with his
face <6440 paniym > toward <0413 >el > the east <6931 qadmowniy

<0413 >el > the utmost <0314 >acharown > sea <3220 yam > , and
his stink <0889 b@>osh > shall come <5927 <alah > up , and his
ill <6709 tsachanah > savour <6709 tsachanah > shall come <5927
<alah > up , because <3588 kiy > he hath done < 6213 <asah >
great <1431 gadal > things .

: 21 Fear <3372 yare> > not , O land <0127 > adamah > ; be
glad <1523 giyl > and rejoice <8055 samach > : for the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah > great < 1431 gadal > things
.

: 22 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > , ye beasts <0929 b@hemah >
of the field <7704 sadeh > : for the pastures <4999 na>ah > of
the wilderness <4057 midbar > do spring <1876 dasha > , for the
tree <6086 <ets > beareth <5375 nasa> > her fruit <6529 p@riy > ,
the fig <8384 t@>en > tree and the vine <1612 gephen > do
<6213 <asah > yield <5414 nathan > their strength <2428 chayil >
.

: 23 Be glad <1523 giyl > then , ye children <1121 ben > of
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and rejoice <8055 samach > in the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > : for he hath given
<5414 nathan > you the former <4175 mowreh > rain < 4175 mowreh >
moderately <6666 ts@daqah > , and he will cause to come <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > for you the rain <1653 geshem > ,
the former <4175 mowreh > rain <4175 mowreh > , and the latter
<4456 malqowsh > rain <4456 malqowsh > in the first <7223
ri>shown > [ month ] .

: 24 And the floors <1637 goren > shall be full <4390 male> >
of wheat <1250 bar > , and the fats shall overflow < 7783 shuwq

: 25 And I will restore <7999 shalam > to you the years <8141
shaneh > that the locust <0697 >arbeh > hath eaten <0398 >akal >
, the cankerworm <3218 yekeq > , and the caterpiller < 2625
chaciyl > , and the palmerworm <1501 gazam > , my great <1419
gadowl > army <2428 chayil > which <0834 >aher > I sent <7971
shalach > among you .

: 26 And ye shall eat <0398 >akal > in plenty <0398 >akal > ,
and be satisfied <7646 saba< > , and praise <1984 halal > the
name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430

pala> > with you : and my people <5971 <am > shall never be
ashamed <0954 buwsh > .

I [ am ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 > elohiym > ,
and none <0369 >ayin > else <5750 <owd > : and my people <5971

that ] I will pour <8210 shaphak > out my spirit <7307 ruwach >
upon all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > ; and your sons <1121

dreams <2472 chalowm > , your young <0970 bachuwr > men shall
see <7200 ra>ah > visions <2384 chizzayown > :

: 29 And also <1571 gam > upon the servants <5650 < ebed > and
upon the handmaids <8198 shiphchah > in those <1992 hem > days

tiymarah > of smoke <6227 <ashan > .

into darkness <2822 choshek > , and the moon <3394 yareach >
into blood <1818 dam > , before <6440 paniym > the great <1419

whosoever <0834 >aher > shall call <7121 qara> > on the name

yarad > into <0413 >el > the valley <6010 <emeq > of Jehoshaphat
<3092 Y@howshaphat > , and will plead <8199 shaphat > with them
there <8033 sham > for my people <5971 <am > and [ for ] my
heritage <5159 nachalah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , whom <0834

<1471 gowy > , and parted <2505 chalaq > my land < 0776 >erets >
.

: 3 And they have cast <3032 yadad > lots <1486 gowral > for my
people <5971 <am > ; and have given <5414 nathan > a boy <3206
yeled > for an harlot <2181 zanah > , and sold <4376 makar > a
girl <3207 yaldah > for wine <3196 yayin > , that they might
drink <8354 shathah > .

: 4 Yea <1571 gam > , and what <4100 mah > have ye to do with
me , O Tyre <6865 Tsor > , and Zidon <6721 Tsiydown > , and
all <3605 kol > the coasts <1552 g@liylah > of Palestine <6429
P@lesheth > ? will ye render <7999 shalam > me a recompence
<1576 g@muwl > ? and if <0518 >im > ye recompense <1580 gamal >
me , swiftly <7031 qal > [ and ] speedily <4120 m@herah >
will I return <7725 shuwb > your recompence <1576 g@muwl > upon
your own head <7218 ro>sh > ;

: 5 Because <0834 >aher > ye have taken <3947 laqach > my
silver <3701 keceph > and my gold <2091 zahab > , and have
carried <0935 bow> > into your temples <1964 heykal > my goodly
<2896 towb > pleasant <4261 machmad > things :

: 6 The children <1121 ben > also of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and
the children <1121 ben > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > have
ye sold <4376 makar > unto the Grecians <3125 Y@vaniy > , that
ye might remove <7368 rachaq > them far <7368 rachaq > from
their border <1366 g@buwl > .

: 7 Behold <2005 hen > , I will raise <5782 <uwr > them out of
the place <4725 maqowm > whither ye have sold <4376 makar > them
, and will return <7725 shuwb > your recompence <1576 g@muwl >
upon your own head <7218 ro>sh > :

your daughters <1121 ben > into the hand <3027 yad > of the
children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and they shall
sell <4376 makar > them to the Sabeans <7615 Sh@ba>iy > , to a
people <1471 gowy > far <7350 rachowq > off : for the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > [ it ] .

: 9 . Proclaim <7121 qara> > ye this <2063 zo>th > among the
Gentiles <1471 gowy > ; Prepare <6942 qadash > war <4421
milchamah > , wake <5782 <uwr > up the mighty < 1368 gibbowr >
men <0582 >enowsh > , let all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh

come <5927 <alah > up :

swords <2719 chereb > , and your pruninghooks <4211 mazmerah >
into spears <7420 romach > : let the weak <2523 challash > say
<0559 >amar > , I [ am ] strong <1368 gibbowr > .

: 11 Assemble <5789 <uwsh > yourselves , and come < 0935 bow> >
, all <3605 kol > ye heathen <1471 gowy > , and gather <6908
qabats > yourselves together round <5439 cabiyb > about :
thither cause thy mighty <1368 gibbowr > ones to come < 5181
nachath > down <5181 nachath > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 12 Let the heathen <1471 gowy > be wakened <5782 < uwr > ,
and come <5927 <alah > up to the valley <6010 < emeq > of
Jehoshaphat <3092 Y@howshaphat > : for there <8033 sham > will I
sit <3427 yashab > to judge <8199 shaphat > all < 3605 kol > the
heathen <1471 gowy > round <5439 cabiyb > about .

: 13 Put <7971 shalach > ye in the sickle <4038 maggal > , for
the harvest <7105 qatsiyr > is ripe <1310 bashal > : come <0935
bow> > , get <3381 yarad > you down <3381 yarad > ; for the
press <1660 gath > is full <4390 male> > , the fats <3342 yeqeb

is ] great <7227 rab > .

: 14 Multitudes <1995 hamown > , multitudes <1995 hamown > in
the valley <6010 <emeq > of decision <2742 charuwts > : for the
day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] near <7138
qarowb > in the valley <6010 <emeq > of decision < 2742 charuwts

: 15 The sun <8121 shemesh > and the moon <3394 yareach > shall
be darkened <6937 qadar > , and the stars <3556 kowkab > shall
withdraw <0622 >acaph > their shining <5051 nogahh > .

: 16 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > also shall roar <7580 sha>ag >
out of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and utter <5414 nathan > his
voice <6963 qowl > from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ; and
the heavens <8064 shamayim > and the earth <0776 > erets > shall
shake <7493 ra<ash > : but the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ will be ]
the hope <4268 machaceh > of his people <5971 <am > , and the
strength <4581 ma<owz > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > .

: 17 So shall ye know <3045 yada< > that I [ am ] the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > dwelling <7931 shakan

<2022 har > : then shall Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > be holy
<6944 qodesh > , and there shall no <3808 lo> > strangers <2114
zuwr > pass <5674 <abar > through her any more < 5750 <owd > .

: 18 . And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day
<3117 yowm > , [ that ] the mountains <2022 har > shall drop
<5197 nataph > down new wine <6071 <aciyc > , and the hills
<1389 gib<ah > shall flow <3212 yalak > with milk <2461 chalab >
, and all <3605 kol > the rivers <0650 >aphiyq > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > shall flow <3212 yalak > with waters <4325 mayim > ,
and a fountain <4599 ma<yan > shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > of the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , and shall water <8248 shaqah > the valley <5158
nachal > of Shittim <7851 Shittiym > .

: 19 Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > shall be a desolation < 8077
sh@mamah > , and Edom <0123 >Edom > shall be a desolate <8077
sh@mamah > wilderness <4057 midbar > , for the violence <2555
chamac > [ against ] the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > , because <0834 >aher > they have shed <8210 shaphak
> innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > in their land <0776
>erets > .

: 20 But Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall dwell <3427 yashab > for
ever <5769 <owlam > , and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > from
generation <1755 dowr > to generation <1755 dowr > .

: 21 For I will cleanse <5352 naqah > their blood <1818 dam >
[ that ] I have not cleansed <5352 naqah > : for the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > dwelleth <7931 shakan > in Zion < 6726 Tsiyown > .
