Chapter 2

1The word of Hashem came to me, saying,

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

אוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2Go proclaim to Yerushalayim: Thus said Hashem: I accounted to your favor The devotion of your youth, Your love as a bride— How you followed Me in the wilderness, In a land not sown.

3Yisrael was holy to Hashem, The first fruits of His harvest. All who ate of it were held guilty; Disaster befell them —declares Hashem.

4Hear the word of Hashem, O House of Yaakov, Every clan of the House of Yisrael!

5Thus said Hashem: What wrong did your fathers find in Me That they abandoned Me And went after delusion and were deluded?

6They never asked themselves, “Where is Hashem, Who brought us up from the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, A land of deserts and pits, A land of drought and darkness, A land no man had traversed, Where no human being had dwelt?”

7I brought you to this country of farm land To enjoy its fruit and its bounty; But you came and defiled My land, You made My possession abhorrent.

8The Kohanim never asked themselves, “Where is Hashem?” The guardians of the Teaching ignored Me; The rulers rebelled against Me, And the Neviim prophesied by Baal And followed what can do no good.

9Oh, I will go on accusing you —declares Hashem— And I will accuse your children's children!

10Just cross over to the isles of the Kittim and look, Send to Kedar and observe carefully; See if aught like this has ever happened:

11Has any nation changed its gods Even though they are no-gods? But My people has exchanged its glory For what can do no good.

12Be appalled, O heavens, at this; Be horrified, utterly dazed! —says Hashem.

13For My people have done a twofold wrong:They have forsaken Me, the Fount of living waters, And hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, Which cannot even hold water.

14Is Yisrael a bondman? Is he a home-born slave? Then why is he given over to plunder?

18What, then, is the good of your going to Egypt To drink the waters of the Nile? And what is the good of your going to Assyria To drink the waters of the Euphrates?

19Let your misfortune reprove you, Let your afflictions rebuke you; Mark well how bad and bitter it is That you forsake Hashem your God, That awe for Me is not in you —declares the lord God of Hosts.

20For long ago you broke your yoke, Tore off your yoke-bands, And said, “I will not work!” On every high hill and under every verdant tree, You recline as a whore.

22Though you wash with natron And use much lye, Your guilt is ingrained before Me —declares Hashem.

23How can you say, “I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim”? Look at your deeds in the Valley, Consider what you have done! Like a lustful she-camel, Restlessly running about,

27They said to wood, “You are my father,” To stone, “You gave birth to me,” While to Me they turned their backs And not their faces. But in their hour of calamity they cry, “Arise and save us!”
