DB1 | The idolatry of God's people. Jr.3.19-25 | RSV Contents | notes| 3 | Revised Standard Version | Passage | Biblia Hebraica |
| 19 | "'I thought how I would set you among my sons, and give you a pleasant land, a heritage most beauteous of all nations. And I thought you would call me, My Father, and would not turn from following me. | The idolatry of God's people. Jr.3.19-25 | וְאָנֹכִי אָמַרְתִּי אֵיךְ אֲשִׁיתֵךְ בַּבָּנִים וְאֶתֶּן־לָךְ אֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה נַחֲלַת צְבִי צִבְאֹות גֹּויִם וָאֹמַר אָבִי כ= תִּקְרְאִו־לִי ק= תִּקְרְאִי־לִי וּמֵאַחֲרַי לֹא כ= תָשׁוּבוּ ק= תָשׁוּבִי׃ |
| 20 | Surely, as a faithless wife leaves her husband, so have you been faithless to me, O house of Israel, says the LORD.'" | אָכֵן בָּגְדָה אִשָּׁה מֵרֵעָהּ כֵּן בְּגַדְתֶּם בִּי בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ | |
| 21 | A voice on the bare heights is heard, the weeping and pleading of Israel's sons, because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God. | קֹול עַל־שְׁפָיִים נִשְׁמָע בְּכִי תַחֲנוּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי הֶעֱוּוּ אֶת־דַּרְכָּם שָׁכְחוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 22 | "Return, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness." "Behold, we come to thee; for thou art the LORD our God. | שׁוּבוּ בָּנִים שֹׁובָבִים אֶרְפָּה מְשׁוּבֹתֵיכֶם הִנְנוּ אָתָנוּ לָךְ כִּי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃ | |
| 23 | Truly the hills are a delusion, the orgies on the mountains. Truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. | אָכֵן לַשֶּׁקֶר מִגְּבָעֹות הָמֹון הָרִים אָכֵן בַּיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ תְּשׁוּעַת יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 24 | "But from our youth the shameful thing has devoured all for which our fathers labored, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. | וְהַבֹּשֶׁת אָכְלָה אֶת־יְגִיעַ אֲבֹותֵינוּ מִנְּעוּרֵינוּ אֶת־צֹאנָם וְאֶת־בְּקָרָם אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹותֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 25 | Let us lie down in our shame, and let our dishonor cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God." | נִשְׁכְּבָה בְּבָשְׁתֵּנוּ וּתְכַסֵּנוּ כְּלִמָּתֵנוּ כִּי לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ חָטָאנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ וַאֲבֹותֵינוּ מִנְּעוּרֵינוּ וְעַד־הַיֹּום הַזֶּה וְלֹא שָׁמַעְנוּ בְּקֹול יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃ ס | |
