In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

But in that day(A) he will cry out,
    “I have no remedy.(B)
I have no food(C) or clothing in my house;
    do not make me the leader of the people.”(D)

Jerusalem staggers,
    Judah is falling;(E)
their words(F) and deeds(G) are against the Lord,
    defying(H) his glorious presence.
The look on their faces testifies(I) against them;
    they parade their sin like Sodom;(J)
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    They have brought disaster(K) upon themselves.

In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”

For (A)Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as (B)Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
