I am in derision ? daily, everyone mocks me
v8 for since I spake, ? I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision daily
v9 then I said, ? I will not make mention of him
nor ? speak any more in his name
but his word was ? in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones
and I was ? weary with forbearing, and I could not stay

v1 woe be unto the pastors that ? destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture
v2 you have scattered ? my flock, and driven them away
and have not ? visited them
behold I will visit ? upon you the evil of your doings
v3 and I will gather ? the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them
and will bring them ? again to their folds
and they shall be ? fruitful and increase

v8 but, the Lord lives, ? which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel
out ? of the north country
and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell ? in their own land

they commit ? adultery, and walk in lies
they strengthen also the ? hands of evildoers
that none ? does return from his wickedness
they are unto me ? all of them as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah
v15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning ? the prophets
behold, I will feed them with ? wormwood
and make them drink ? the water of gall
for from the prophets of Jerusalem ? is profaneness gone forth into all the land
v16 thus says the Lord of hosts, listen not unto the ? words of the prophets that prophesy unto you
they make you ? vain; they speak a vision of their own heart
and not ? out of the mouth of the Lord

saying, ? I have dreamed, I have dreamed
v26 how long shall this be ? in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies?
yea, they are prophets of ? the deceit of their own heart
v27 which think ? to cause my people to forget my name
by ? their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour
as their fathers have ? forgotten my name for Baal
v28 the prophet that has a dream, ? let him tell a dream
and he that has my word, ? let him speak my word faithfully
what is the chaff ? to the wheat? says the Lord
v29 is not my word ? like as a fire? says the Lord

v32 behold, I am against them that prophesy ? false dreams, says the Lord
and do ? tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness
yet I sent them ? not, nor commanded them
therefore they ? shall not profit this people at all
v33 and when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask ? you, saying, what is the burden of the Lord?
you shall then say unto them, ? what burden? I will even forsake you, says the Lord

I will even ? punish that man and his house
v36 and the burden of the Lord shall ? you mention no more
for every man's ? own word shall be his burden
for you have ? perverted the words of the living God
v38 but since you say, ? the burden of the Lord
therefore behold, I, even I, have ? sent unto you, saying, you shall not say, the burden of the Lord
v39 therefore, behold, ? I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you
and the ? city that I gave you and your fathers
and cast you ? out of my presence

v6 for I will set my eyes ? upon them for good
and I will bring them ? again to this land
and I will ? build them, and not pull them down
