They knew not the way of peace, and doom is not in the goings of them; the paths of them be bowed to them; each that treadeth in those [or in them], knoweth not peace.
Forsooth the vinery [or vineyard] of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah be the delightable burgeoning of him. I abode, that it shall make doom, and lo! wickedness; and that it should do rightfulness [or rightwiseness], and lo! cry.
Therefore doom is made far from us, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall not take us; we abided light, and lo! darknesses be; we abided shining, and we went in darknesses.
Compass ye the ways of Jerusalem, and look, and behold ye, and seek ye in the streets thereof, whether ye find a man doing doom, and seeking faith; and I shall be merciful to them.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that tithe mint, anise, and cumin, and have left those things that be of more charge of the law, doom, and mercy, and faith. And it behooved [or needed] to do these things, and not to leave those.
