Song of Solomon 6
Ready to read
1
"Hear this, O house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel And who come from the[1] seed of Judah, You who swear [allegiance] by the name of the LORD And invoke the God of Israel, But not in truth (sincerity) nor in righteousness [with moral and spiritual integrity].
2
"For they call themselves [citizens of Jerusalem] after the holy city And depend on the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is His name.
3
"I have declared the former things [which happened to Israel] in times past; They went forth from My mouth and I proclaimed them; Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.
4
"Because I know that you are obstinate, And your neck is an iron tendon And your brow is bronze [both unyielding],
5
I have declared them to you long ago; Before they came to pass I announced them to you, So that you could not say, 'My idol has done them, And my carved image and my cast image have commanded them.'
6
"You have heard [these things foretold]; look at all this [that has been fulfilled]. And you, will you not declare it? I proclaim to you [specific] new things from this time, Even[2] hidden things which you have not known.
7
"They are created now [called into being by the prophetic word] and not long ago; And before today you have not heard of them, So that you will not say, 'Oh yes! I knew them.'
8
"You have not heard, you have not known; Even from long ago your ear has not been open. For I [the LORD] knew that you [Israel] would act very treacherously; You have been called a transgressor and a rebel from birth.
9
"For the sake of My Name I refrain from My wrath, And for My praise I restrain Myself from you, So that I do not cut you off.
10
"Indeed, I have refined you, but not as[3] silver; I have tested and chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11
"For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it [I refrain and do not completely destroy you]; For how can My Name be defiled and profaned [as it would if My chosen people were completely destroyed]? And I will not give My glory to another [by permitting the worshipers of idols to triumph over you].
12
"Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called; I am He, I am the First, I am the Last.
13
"My hand founded and established the earth, And My right hand spread out the heavens; When I call to them, they stand together [in obedience to carry out My decrees].
