mourning3    #bi3jjb3jac ,and rend your 
heart1 and not your garments1 and turn  
unto the             ,,lord your ,god3

 anger1             and of great        
kindness1 and repenteth him of the evil4

closet4    #bi3jjb3jag ,let the priests1
 the ministers of the ,,lord1 weep      
between the             porch and the   

altar1 and let them say1 ,spare thy     
people1 ,o             ,,lord1 and give 
not thine heritage to reproach1 that the
             heathen should rule over   
them3 wherefore should they say among   
the people1 ,where is their ,god8       
#bi3jjb3jah ,then will the ,,lord be    
jealous for his land1 and pity his      
people4    #bi3jjb3jai ,yea1 the ,,lord 
will answer and say unto his people1    
,behold1 ,i             will send you   
corn1 and wine1 and oil1 and ye shall be
             satisfied therewith3 and ,i
 will no more make you a reproach       
among the heathen3    #bi3jjb3jbj ,but  
,i will remove far off from you the     
northern army1 and will                 
drive him into a land barren and        
desolate1 with his face                 
toward the east sea1 and his hinder part
 toward the utmost             sea1 and 
his stink shall come up1 and his ill    
savour shall             come up1

fruit1 the fig             tree and the 
vine do yield their strength4           
#bi3jjb3jbc ,be glad then1 ye children  
of ,zion1 and rejoice in the ,,lord     
your ,god3 for he hath given you the    
former rain moderately1             and 
he will cause to come down for you the  
rain1 the former             rain1 and  
the latter rain in the first month4

full of wheat1 and the vats shall       
overflow with wine and oil4

my heritage ,israel1 whom they have     
scattered             among the nations1
 and parted my land4    #bi3jjc3jjc ,and
 they have cast lots for my people2 and 
have given a boy             for an     
harlot1 and sold a girl for wine1 that  
they might             drink4

speedily will ,i return             your
 recompence upon your own head2         
#bi3jjc3jje ,because ye have taken my   
silver and my gold1 and have carried    
into your temples my goodly pleasant    
things3    #bi3jjc3jjf ,the children    
also of ,judah and the children of      
,jerusalem have             ye sold unto
 the ,grecians1 that ye might remove    
them far from             their border4 
#bi3jjc3jjg ,behold1 ,i will raise them 
out of the place whither ye have        
sold them1 and will return your         
recompence upon your own head3          
#bi3jjc3jjh ,and ,i will sell your sons 
and your daughters into the hand of     
the children of ,judah1 and they shall  
sell them to the             ,sabeans1  
to a people far off3 for the ,,lord hath
 spoken it4    #bi3jjc3jji ,proclaim ye 
this among the ,gentiles2 ,prepare war1

about4    #bi3jjc3jac ,put ye in the    
sickle1 for the harvest is ripe3 come1

is full1 the fats overflow2 for their   
wickedness is great4    #bi3jjc3jad

the moon shall be darkened1 and the     
stars shall             withdraw their  
shining4    #bi3jjc3jaf ,the ,,lord also

#bi3jjc3jag ,so shall ye know that ,i am
 the ,,lord your ,god dwelling in ,zion1
             my holy mountain3 then     
shall ,jerusalem be holy1 and there     
shall no strangers pass through her any 
more4    #bi3jjc3jah ,and it shall come 
to pass in that day1 that the mountains 
shall drop down new wine1 and the hills 
shall flow with milk1             and   
all the rivers of ,judah shall flow with
 waters1 and a             fountain     
shall come forth out of the house of the
 ,,lord1 and             shall water the
 valley of ,shittim4    #bi3jjc3jai     
,egypt shall be a desolation1 and ,edom 
shall be a desolate                     
wilderness1 for the violence against the
 children of ,judah1             because
 they have shed innocent blood in their 
land4    #bi3jjc3jbj ,but ,judah shall  

dwell for ever1 and ,jerusalem from     
generation             to generation4
