Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these {things mean}? tell {them}, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;

And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these {things are} to us, that thou doest {so}?

Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they {are} a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,

And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these {things are} to us, that thou doest {so}?

And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou {meanest} by these?

Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these {things mean}? tell {them}, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;

And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak {as} water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD. {shall be weak...: Heb. shall go into water}
