Joel 1
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 >
hath the cankerworm <3218 yekeq > eaten <0398 >akal >; and 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

sasown > is withered <3001 yabesh > away from the sons <1121 ben
> of men <0120 >adam >.
13 Gird <2296 chagar > yourselves, and lament <5594 caphad >,
ye priests <3548 kohen >: howl <3213 yalal >, ye 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 > from the
Almighty <7706 Shadday > shall it come <0935 bow> >.
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

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

6 Before their face <6440 paniym > the people <5971 <am > shall
be much pained <2342 chuwl >: all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym

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

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 > that executeth
<6213 <asah > his word <1697 dabar >: for the 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 >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, turn <7725 shuwb >

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

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 >:
16 Gather <0622 >acaph > the people <5971 <am >, sanctify <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>

bride <3618 kallah > out of her closet <2646 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

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

<8492 tiyrowsh >, and oil <3323 yitshar >, and 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 > sea <3220
yam >, and his hinder <5490 cowph > part toward <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 >
with wine <8492 tiyrowsh > and oil <3323 yitshar >.
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

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 >elohiym

27 And ye shall know <3045 yada< > that I [am] in the midst
<7130 qereb > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and [that] I [am] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >, and none <0369

be ashamed <0954 buwsh >.
28. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass afterward, [that] I
will pour <8210 shaphak > out my spirit <7307 ruwach > upon all
<3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar >; and your sons <1121 ben > and

29 And also <1571 gam > upon the servants <5650 <ebed > and
upon the handmaids <8198 shiphchah > in those <1992 hem > days
<3117 yowm > will I pour <8210 shaphak > out my spirit <7307

30 And I will shew <5414 nathan > wonders <4159 mowpheth > in
the heavens <8064 shamayim > and in the earth <0776 >erets >,
blood <1818 dam >, and fire <0784 >esh >, and pillars <8490
tiymarah > of smoke <6227 <ashan >.
31 The sun <8121 shemesh > shall be turned <2015 haphak > into
darkness <2822 choshek >, and the moon <3394 yareach > into
blood <1818 dam >, before <6440 paniym > the great <1419 gadowl

<3068 Y@hovah > come <0635 >Ecter >.
32 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] whosoever

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be delivered <4422 malat >:
for in mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > and in Jerusalem

Joel 3
1. For, behold <2009 hinneh >, in those <1992 hem > days <3117

<5159 nachalah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, whom <0834 >aher >
they have scattered <6327 puwts > among the nations <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

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 >:
8 And I will sell <4376 makar > your sons <1121 ben > and 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 > of
war <4421 milchamah > draw near <5066 nagash >; let them come
<5927 <alah > up:
10 Beat <3807 kathath > your plowshares <0855 >eth > into
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

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>

gath > is full <4390 male> >, the fats <3342 yeqeb > overflow
<7783 shuwq >; for their wickedness <7451 ra< > [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

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 > in
Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <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 >.
