12 For the inhabitant H3427 of Maroth H4796 waited carefully H2342 for good: H2896 but evil H7451 came down H3381 from the LORD H3068 unto the gate H8179 of Jerusalem. H3389
Hast thou utterly H3988 rejected H3988 Judah? H3063 hath thy soul H5315 lothed H1602 Zion? H6726 why hast thou smitten H5221 us, and there is no healing H4832 for us? we looked H6960 for peace, H7965 and there is no good; H2896 and for the time H6256 of healing, H4832 and behold trouble! H1205
I form H3335 the light, H216 and create H1254 darkness: H2822 I make H6213 peace, H7965 and create H1254 evil: H7451 I the LORD H3068 do H6213 all these things.
Therefore is judgment H4941 far H7368 from us, neither doth justice H6666 overtake H5381 us: we wait H6960 for light, H216 but behold obscurity; H2822 for brightness, H5054 but we walk H1980 in darkness. H653 We grope H1659 for the wall H7023 like the blind, H5787 and we grope H1659 as if we had no eyes: H5869 we stumble H3782 at noonday H6672 as in the night; H5399 we are in desolate H820 places as dead H4191 men. We roar H1993 all like bears, H1677 and mourn H1897 sore H1897 like doves: H3123 we look H6960 for judgment, H4941 but there is none; for salvation, H3444 but it is far off H7368 from us.
Shall a trumpet H7782 be blown H8628 in the city, H5892 and the people H5971 not be afraid? H2729 shall there be evil H7451 in a city, H5892 and the LORD H3068 hath not done H6213 it?
And when he came, H935 lo, Eli H5941 sat H3427 upon a seat H3678 by the wayside H1870 H3027 H3197 watching: H6822 for his heart H3820 trembled H2730 for the ark H727 of God. H430 And when the man H376 came H935 into the city, H5892 and told H5046 it, all the city H5892 cried out. H2199
