1  The words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Hilkiah,²⁵¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ that⁸³⁴ were in Anathoth⁶⁰⁶⁸ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴

2  To whom⁸³⁴ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Amon⁵²⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ in the thirteenth^{7969 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign.⁴⁴²⁷

3  It came¹⁹⁶¹ also in the days³¹¹⁷ of Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the end⁸⁵⁵² of the eleventh^{6249 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the carrying away¹⁵⁴⁰ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ captive in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ month.²³²⁰

4  Then the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

5  Before²⁹⁶² I formed³³³⁵ thee in the belly⁹⁹⁰ I knew³⁰⁴⁵ thee; and before²⁹⁶² thou camest forth³³¹⁸ out of the womb^{4480 7358} I sanctified⁶⁹⁴² thee, and I ordained⁵⁴¹⁴ thee a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ unto the nations.¹⁴⁷¹

6  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, Ah,¹⁶² Lord¹³⁶ GOD!³⁰⁶⁹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I cannot^{3808 3045} speak:¹⁶⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ am a child.⁵²⁸⁸

7  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Say⁵⁵⁹ not,⁴⁰⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ am a child:⁵²⁸⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I shall send⁷⁹⁷¹ thee, and whatsoever^{3605 834} I command⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee thou shalt speak.¹⁶⁹⁶

8  Be not⁴⁰⁸ afraid³³⁷² of their faces:^{4480 6440} for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am with⁸⁵⁴ thee to deliver⁵³³⁷ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

9  Then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ put forth^{7971 853} his hand,³⁰²⁷ and touched^{5060 5921} my mouth.⁶³¹⁰ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have put⁵⁴¹⁴ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ in thy mouth.⁶³¹⁰

10  See,⁷²⁰⁰ I have this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ set⁶⁴⁸⁵ thee over⁵⁹²¹ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ and over⁵⁹²¹ the kingdoms,⁴⁴⁶⁷ to root out,⁵⁴²⁸ and to pull down,⁵⁴²² and to destroy,⁶ and to throw down,²⁰⁴⁰ to build,¹¹²⁹ and to plant.⁵¹⁹³

11  Moreover the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ what⁴¹⁰⁰ seest⁷²⁰⁰ thou?⁸⁵⁹ And I said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ see⁷²⁰⁰ a rod⁴⁷³¹ of an almond tree.⁸²⁴⁷

12  Then said⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ me, Thou hast well³¹⁹⁰ seen:⁷²⁰⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ will hasten^{8245 5921} my word¹⁶⁹⁷ to perform⁶²¹³ it.

13  And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me the second time,⁸¹⁴⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ seest⁷²⁰⁰ thou?⁸⁵⁹ And I said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ see⁷²⁰⁰ a seething⁵³⁰¹ pot;⁵⁵¹⁸ and the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ thereof is toward^{4480 6440} the north.⁶⁸²⁸

14  Then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Out of the north^{4480 6828} an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ shall break forth⁶⁶⁰⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

15  For,³⁵⁸⁸ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ I will call⁷¹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the north,⁶⁸²⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and they shall come,⁹³⁵ and they shall set⁵⁴¹⁴ every one³⁷⁶ his throne³⁶⁷⁸ at the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and against⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the walls²³⁴⁶ thereof round about,⁵⁴³⁹ and against⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

16  And I will utter¹⁶⁹⁶ my judgments⁴⁹⁴¹ against them touching⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ their wickedness,⁷⁴⁵¹ who⁸³⁴ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² the works⁴⁶³⁹ of their own hands.³⁰²⁷

17  Thou⁸⁵⁹ therefore gird up²⁴⁷ thy loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ them ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ command⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee: be not⁴⁰⁸ dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ at their faces,^{4480 6440} lest⁶⁴³⁵ I confound²⁸⁶⁵ thee before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.

18  For,⁵⁸⁹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have made⁵⁴¹⁴ thee this day³¹¹⁷ a defensed⁴⁰¹³ city,⁵⁸⁹² and an iron¹²⁷⁰ pillar,⁵⁹⁸² and brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ walls²³⁴⁶ against⁵⁹²¹ the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land,⁷⁷⁶ against the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ against the princes⁸²⁶⁹ thereof, against the priests³⁵⁴⁸ thereof, and against the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

19  And they shall fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁴¹³ thee; but they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prevail³²⁰¹ against thee; for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am with⁸⁵⁴ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to deliver⁵³³⁷ thee.

Jeremiah 2

1  Moreover the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and cry⁷¹²¹ in the ears²⁴¹ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I remember²¹⁴² thee, the kindness²⁶¹⁷ of thy youth,⁵²⁷¹ the love¹⁶⁰ of thine espousals,³⁶²³ when thou wentest¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ me in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ in a land⁷⁷⁶ that was not³⁸⁰⁸ sown.²²³²

3  Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was holiness⁶⁹⁴⁴ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the firstfruits⁷²²⁵ of his increase:⁸³⁹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that devour³⁹⁸ him shall offend;⁸¹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ shall come⁹³⁵ upon⁴¹³ them, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

4  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸

5  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ What⁴¹⁰⁰ iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ have your fathers¹ found⁴⁶⁷² in me, that³⁵⁸⁸ they are gone far⁷³⁶⁸ from^{4480 5921} me, and have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ vanity,¹⁸⁹² and are become vain?¹⁸⁹¹

6  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ they, Where³⁴⁶ is the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that brought us up^{5927 853} out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ that led¹⁹⁸⁰ us through the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ through a land⁷⁷⁶ of deserts⁶¹⁶⁰ and of pits,⁷⁷⁴⁵ through a land⁷⁷⁶ of drought,⁶⁷²³ and of the shadow of death,⁶⁷⁵⁷ through a land⁷⁷⁶ that no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ passed through,⁵⁶⁷⁴ and where⁸⁰³³ no³⁸⁰⁸ man¹²⁰ dwelt?³⁴²⁷

7  And I brought⁹³⁵ you into⁴¹³ a plentiful³⁷⁵⁹ country,⁷⁷⁶ to eat³⁹⁸ the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ thereof and the goodness²⁸⁹⁸ thereof; but when ye entered,⁹³⁵ ye defiled^{2930 853} my land,⁷⁷⁶ and made⁷⁷⁶⁰ mine heritage⁵¹⁵⁹ an abomination.⁸⁴⁴¹

8  The priests³⁵⁴⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ not,³⁸⁰⁸ Where³⁴⁶ is the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸ and they that handle⁸⁶¹⁰ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ knew³⁰⁴⁵ me not:³⁸⁰⁸ the pastors⁷⁴⁶² also transgressed⁶⁵⁸⁶ against me, and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² by Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ things that do not³⁸⁰⁸ profit.³²⁷⁶

9  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ I will yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ plead⁷³⁷⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ you, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and with⁸⁵⁴ your children's¹¹²¹ children¹¹²¹ will I plead.⁷³⁷⁸

10  For³⁵⁸⁸ pass over⁵⁶⁷⁴ the isles³³⁹ of Chittim,³⁷⁹⁴ and see;⁷²⁰⁰ and send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto Kedar,⁶⁹³⁸ and consider⁹⁹⁵ diligently,³⁹⁶⁶ and see⁷²⁰⁰ if there be¹⁹⁶¹ such²⁰⁶³ a thing.

11  Hath a nation¹⁴⁷¹ changed⁴¹⁷¹ their gods,⁴³⁰ which¹⁹⁹² are yet no³⁸⁰⁸ gods?⁴³⁰ but my people⁵⁹⁷¹ have changed⁴¹⁷¹ their glory³⁵¹⁹ for that which doth not³⁸⁰⁸ profit.³²⁷⁶

12  Be astonished,⁸⁰⁷⁴ O ye heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ at⁵⁹²¹ this,²⁰⁶³ and be horribly afraid,⁸¹⁷⁵ be ye very³⁹⁶⁶ desolate,²⁷¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ have committed⁶²¹³ two⁸¹⁴⁷ evils;⁷⁴⁵¹ they have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me the fountain⁴⁷²⁶ of living²⁴¹⁶ waters,⁴³²⁵ and hewed them out²⁶⁷² cisterns,⁸⁷⁷ broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ cisterns,⁸⁷⁷ that⁸³⁴ can hold³⁵⁵⁷ no³⁸⁰⁸ water.⁴³²⁵

14  Is Israel³⁴⁷⁸ a servant?⁵⁶⁵⁰ is he¹⁹³¹ a homeborn^{1004 3211} slave? why⁴⁰⁶⁹ is¹⁹⁶¹ he spoiled?⁹⁵⁷

15  The young lions³⁷¹⁵ roared⁷⁵⁸⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and yelled,^{5414 6963} and they made⁷⁸⁹⁶ his land⁷⁷⁶ waste:⁸⁰⁴⁷ his cities⁵⁸⁹² are burned³³⁴¹ without^{4480 1097} inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

16  Also¹⁵⁷¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Noph⁵²⁹⁷ and Tahapanes⁸⁴⁷¹ have broken⁷⁴⁶² the crown of thy head.⁶⁹³⁶

17  Hast thou not³⁸⁰⁸ procured⁶²¹³ this²⁰⁶³ unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ when⁶²⁵⁶ he led¹⁹⁸⁰ thee by the way?¹⁸⁷⁰

18  And now⁶²⁵⁸ what⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou to do in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ to drink⁸³⁵⁴ the waters⁴³²⁵ of Sihor?⁷⁸⁸³ or what⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou to do in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ to drink⁸³⁵⁴ the waters⁴³²⁵ of the river?⁵¹⁰⁴

19  Thine own wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ shall correct³²⁵⁶ thee, and thy backslidings⁴⁸⁷⁸ shall reprove³¹⁹⁸ thee: know³⁰⁴⁵ therefore and see⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ it is an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ thing and bitter,⁴⁷⁵¹ that thou hast forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ and that my fear⁶³⁴⁵ is not³⁸⁰⁸ in⁴¹³ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD³⁰⁶⁹ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

20  For³⁵⁸⁸ of old time^{4480 5769} I have broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ thy yoke,⁵⁹²³ and burst⁵⁴²³ thy bands;⁴¹⁴⁷ and thou saidst,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ transgress;⁵⁶⁷⁴ when³⁵⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ every³⁶⁰⁵ high¹³⁶⁴ hill¹³⁸⁹ and under⁸⁴⁷⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ green⁷⁴⁸⁸ tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ thou⁸⁵⁹ wanderest,⁶⁸⁰⁸ playing the harlot.²¹⁸¹

21  Yet I⁵⁹⁵ had planted⁵¹⁹³ thee a noble vine,⁸³²¹ wholly³⁶⁰⁵ a right⁵⁷¹ seed:²²³³ how³⁴⁹ then art thou turned²⁰¹⁵ into the degenerate⁵⁴⁹⁴ plant of a strange⁵²³⁷ vine¹⁶¹² unto me?

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ though⁵¹⁸ thou wash³⁵²⁶ thee with niter,⁵⁴²⁷ and take thee much⁷²³⁵ soap,¹²⁸⁷ yet thine iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ is marked³⁷⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the Lord¹³⁶ GOD.³⁰⁶⁹

23  How³⁴⁹ canst thou say,⁵⁵⁹ I am not³⁸⁰⁸ polluted,²⁹³⁰ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ gone¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ Baalim?¹¹⁶⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ thy way¹⁸⁷⁰ in the valley,¹⁵¹⁶ know³⁰⁴⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ thou hast done:⁶²¹³ thou art a swift⁷⁰³¹ dromedary¹⁰⁷² traversing⁸³⁰⁸ her ways;¹⁸⁷⁰

24  A wild ass⁶⁵⁰¹ used³⁹²⁸ to the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ that snuffeth up⁷⁶⁰² the wind⁷³⁰⁷ at her pleasure;^{185 5315} in her occasion⁸³⁸⁵ who⁴³¹⁰ can turn her away?⁷⁷²⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ they that seek¹²⁴⁵ her will not³⁸⁰⁸ weary³²⁸⁶ themselves; in her month²³²⁰ they shall find⁴⁶⁷² her.

25  Withhold⁴⁵¹³ thy foot⁷²⁷² from being unshod,^{4480 3182} and thy throat¹⁶²⁷ from thirst:^{4480 6773} but thou saidst,⁵⁵⁹ There is no hope:²⁹⁷⁶ no;³⁸⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ I have loved¹⁵⁷ strangers,²¹¹⁴ and after³¹⁰ them will I go.¹⁹⁸⁰

26  As the thief¹⁵⁹⁰ is ashamed¹³²² when³⁵⁸⁸ he is found,⁴⁶⁷² so³⁶⁵¹ is the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ ashamed;⁹⁵⁴ they,¹⁹⁹² their kings,⁴⁴²⁸ their princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and their priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and their prophets,⁵⁰³⁰

27  Saying⁵⁵⁹ to a stock,⁶⁰⁸⁶ Thou⁸⁵⁹ art my father;¹ and to a stone,⁶⁸ Thou⁸⁵⁹ hast brought me forth:³²⁰⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ they have turned⁶⁴³⁷ their back⁶²⁰³ unto⁴¹³ me, and not³⁸⁰⁸ their face:⁶⁴⁴⁰ but in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their trouble⁷⁴⁵¹ they will say,⁵⁵⁹ Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and save³⁴⁶⁷ us.

28  But where³⁴⁶ are thy gods⁴³⁰ that⁸³⁴ thou hast made⁶²¹³ thee? let them arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ if⁵¹⁸ they can save³⁴⁶⁷ thee in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of thy trouble:⁷⁴⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of thy cities⁵⁸⁹² are¹⁹⁶¹ thy gods,⁴³⁰ O Judah.³⁰⁶³

29  Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ will ye plead⁷³⁷⁸ with⁴¹³ me? ye all³⁶⁰⁵ have transgressed⁶⁵⁸⁶ against me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

30  In vain⁷⁷²³ have I smitten^{5221 853} your children;¹¹²¹ they received³⁹⁴⁷ no³⁸⁰⁸ correction:⁴¹⁴⁸ your own sword²⁷¹⁹ hath devoured³⁹⁸ your prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ like a destroying⁷⁸⁴³ lion.⁷³⁸

31  O generation,¹⁷⁵⁵ see⁷²⁰⁰ ye⁸⁵⁹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ Have I been¹⁹⁶¹ a wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ unto Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ a land⁷⁷⁶ of darkness?³⁹⁹¹ wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ say⁵⁵⁹ my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ We are lords;⁷³⁰⁰ we will come⁹³⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ thee?

32  Can a maid¹³³⁰ forget⁷⁹¹¹ her ornaments,⁵⁷¹⁶ or a bride³⁶¹⁸ her attire?⁷¹⁹⁶ yet my people⁵⁹⁷¹ have forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ me days³¹¹⁷ without³⁶⁹ number.⁴⁵⁵⁷

33  Why⁴¹⁰⁰ trimmest³¹⁹⁰ thou thy way¹⁸⁷⁰ to seek¹²⁴⁵ love?¹⁶⁰ therefore³⁶⁵¹ hast thou also¹⁵⁷¹ taught^{3925 853} the wicked ones^{7451 853} thy ways.¹⁸⁷⁰

34  Also¹⁵⁷¹ in thy skirts³⁶⁷¹ is found⁴⁶⁷² the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the souls⁵³¹⁵ of the poor³⁴ innocents:⁵³⁵⁵ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ found⁴⁶⁷² it by secret search,⁴²⁹⁰ but³⁵⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ these.⁴²⁸

35  Yet thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ I am innocent,⁵³⁵² surely³⁸⁹ his anger⁶³⁹ shall turn⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me. Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will plead with⁸¹⁹⁹ thee, because⁵⁹²¹ thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ sinned.²³⁹⁸

36  Why⁴¹⁰⁰ gaddest²³⁵ thou about so much³⁹⁶⁶ to change^{8138 853} thy way?¹⁸⁷⁰ thou also¹⁵⁷¹ shalt be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ of Egypt,^{4480 4714} as⁸³⁴ thou wast ashamed⁹⁵⁴ of Assyria.^{4480 804}

37  Yea,¹⁵⁷¹ thou shalt go forth³³¹⁸ from^{4480 854} him,²⁰⁸⁸ and thine hands³⁰²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ thine head:⁷²¹⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath rejected³⁹⁸⁸ thy confidences,⁴⁰⁰⁹ and thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper⁶⁷⁴³ in them.

1  They say,⁵⁵⁹ If²⁰⁰⁵ a man³⁷⁶ put away^{7971 853} his wife,⁸⁰² and she go¹⁹⁸⁰ from^{4480 854} him, and become¹⁹⁶¹ another³¹² man's,³⁷⁶ shall he return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ her again?⁵⁷⁵⁰ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ that¹⁹³¹ land⁷⁷⁶ be greatly polluted?^{2610 2610} but thou⁸⁵⁹ hast played the harlot²¹⁸¹ with many⁷²²⁷ lovers;⁷⁴⁵³ yet return⁷⁷²⁵ again to⁴¹³ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

2  Lift up⁵³⁷⁵ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ unto⁵⁹²¹ the high places,⁸²⁰⁵ and see⁷²⁰⁰ where³⁷⁵ thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ been lain⁷⁹⁰¹ with. In⁵⁹²¹ the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ hast thou sat³⁴²⁷ for them, as the Arabian⁶¹⁶³ in the wilderness;⁴⁰⁵⁷ and thou hast polluted²⁶¹⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ with thy whoredoms²¹⁸⁴ and with thy wickedness.⁷⁴⁵¹

3  Therefore the showers⁷²⁴¹ have been withheld,⁴⁵¹³ and there hath been¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ latter rain;⁴⁴⁵⁶ and thou hadst a whore's^{802 2181} forehead,⁴⁶⁹⁶ thou refusedst³⁹⁸⁵ to be ashamed.³⁶³⁷

4  Wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ from this time^{4480 6258} cry⁷¹²¹ unto me, My father,¹ thou⁸⁵⁹ art the guide⁴⁴¹ of my youth?⁵²⁷¹

5  Will he reserve⁵²⁰¹ his anger forever?⁵⁷⁶⁹ will he keep⁸¹⁰⁴ it to the end?⁵³³¹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ and done⁶²¹³ evil things⁷⁴⁵¹ as thou couldest.³²⁰¹

6  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ also unto⁴¹³ me in the days³¹¹⁷ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Hast thou seen⁷²⁰⁰ that which⁸³⁴ backsliding⁴⁸⁷⁸ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath done?⁶²¹³ she¹⁹³¹ is gone up¹⁹⁸⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ every³⁶⁰⁵ high¹³⁶⁴ mountain²⁰²² and under⁸⁴⁷⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ green⁷⁴⁸⁸ tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and there⁸⁰³³ hath played the harlot.²¹⁸¹

7  And I said⁵⁵⁹ after³¹⁰ she had done^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things, Turn⁷⁷²⁵ thou unto⁴¹³ me. But she returned⁷⁷²⁵ not.³⁸⁰⁸ And her treacherous⁹⁰¹ sister²⁶⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ it.

8  And I saw,⁷²⁰⁰ when³⁵⁸⁸ for⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the causes¹⁸² whereby⁸³⁴ backsliding⁴⁸⁷⁸ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ committed adultery⁵⁰⁰³ I had put her away,⁷⁹⁷¹ and given^{5414 413} her ⁸⁵³ a bill⁵⁶¹² of divorce;³⁷⁴⁸ yet her treacherous⁸⁹⁸ sister²⁶⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ feared³³⁷² not,³⁸⁰⁸ but went¹⁹⁸⁰ and played the harlot²¹⁸¹ also.¹⁵⁷¹

9  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ through the lightness^{4480 6963} of her whoredom,²¹⁸⁴ that she defiled^{2610 853} the land,⁷⁷⁶ and committed adultery⁵⁰⁰³ with⁸⁵⁴ stones⁶⁸ and with⁸⁵⁴ stocks.⁶⁰⁸⁶

10  And yet¹⁵⁷¹ for all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ her treacherous⁹⁰¹ sister²⁶⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ me with her whole³⁶⁰⁵ heart,³⁸²⁰ but^{3588 518} feignedly,⁸²⁶⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

11  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, The backsliding⁴⁸⁷⁸ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath justified⁶⁶⁶³ herself⁵³¹⁵ more than treacherous^{4480 898} Judah.³⁰⁶³

12  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and proclaim^{7121 853} these⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ toward the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Return,⁷⁷²⁵ thou backsliding⁴⁸⁷⁸ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and I will not³⁸⁰⁸ cause mine anger⁶⁴⁴⁰ to fall⁵³⁰⁷ upon you: for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am merciful,²⁶²³ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and I will not³⁸⁰⁸ keep⁵²⁰¹ anger forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

13  Only³⁸⁹ acknowledge³⁰⁴⁵ thine iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast transgressed⁶⁵⁸⁶ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ and hast scattered^{6340 853} thy ways¹⁸⁷⁰ to the strangers²¹¹⁴ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ green⁷⁴⁸⁸ tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and ye have not³⁸⁰⁸ obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

14  Turn,⁷⁷²⁵ O backsliding⁷⁷²⁶ children,¹¹²¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ am married¹¹⁶⁶ unto you: and I will take³⁹⁴⁷ you one²⁵⁹ of a city,^{4480 5892} and two⁸¹⁴⁷ of a family,^{4480 4940} and I will bring⁹³⁵ you to Zion:⁶⁷²⁶

15  And I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ you pastors⁷⁴⁶² according to mine heart,³⁸²⁰ which shall feed⁷⁴⁶² you with knowledge¹⁸⁴⁴ and understanding.⁷⁹¹⁹

16  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ ye be multiplied⁷²³⁵ and increased⁶⁵⁰⁹ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ in those¹⁹⁹² days,³¹¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ they shall say⁵⁵⁹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more,⁵⁷⁵⁰ The ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall it come⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ mind:³⁸²⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall they remember²¹⁴² it; neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall they visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ it; neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall that be done⁶²¹³ any more.⁵⁷⁵⁰

17  At that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ they shall call⁷¹²¹ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the nations¹⁴⁷¹ shall be gathered⁶⁹⁶⁰ unto⁴¹³ it, to the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall they walk¹⁹⁸⁰ any more⁵⁷⁵⁰ after³¹⁰ the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of their evil⁷⁴⁵¹ heart.³⁸²⁰

18  In those¹⁹⁹² days³¹¹⁷ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ shall walk¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹²¹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they shall come⁹³⁵ together³¹⁶² out of the land^{4480 776} of the north⁶⁸²⁸ to⁵⁹²¹ the land⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ I have given for an inheritance⁵¹⁵⁷ unto ⁸⁵³ your fathers.¹

19  But I⁵⁹⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ How³⁴⁹ shall I put⁷⁸⁹⁶ thee among the children,¹¹²¹ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee a pleasant²⁵³² land,⁷⁷⁶ a goodly⁶⁶⁴³ heritage⁵¹⁵⁹ of the hosts⁶⁶³⁵ of nations?¹⁴⁷¹ and I said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt call⁷¹²¹ me, My father;¹ and shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ turn away⁷⁷²⁵ from^{4480 310} me.

20  Surely⁴⁰³ as a wife⁸⁰² treacherously departeth⁸⁹⁸ from her husband,^{4480 1167} so³⁶⁵¹ have ye dealt treacherously⁸⁹⁸ with me, O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

21  A voice⁶⁹⁶³ was heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ the high places,⁸²⁰⁵ weeping¹⁰⁶⁵ and supplications⁸⁴⁶⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ they have perverted^{5753 853} their way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and they have forgotten^{7911 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God.⁴³⁰

22  Return,⁷⁷²⁵ ye backsliding⁷⁷²⁶ children,¹¹²¹ and I will heal⁷⁴⁹⁵ your backslidings.⁴⁸⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ we come⁸⁵⁷ unto thee; for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God.⁴³⁰

23  Truly⁴⁰³ in vain⁸²⁶⁷ is salvation hoped for from the hills,^{4480 1389} and from the multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ of mountains:²⁰²² truly⁴⁰³ in the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ is the salvation⁸⁶⁶⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

24  For shame¹³²² hath devoured^{398 853} the labor³⁰¹⁸ of our fathers¹ from our youth;^{4480 5271 853} their flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and their herds,^{1241 853} their sons¹¹²¹ and their daughters.¹³²³

25  We lie down⁷⁹⁰¹ in our shame,¹³²² and our confusion³⁶³⁹ covereth³⁶⁸⁰ us: for³⁵⁸⁸ we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ we⁵⁸⁷ and our fathers,¹ from our youth^{4480 5271} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day,³¹¹⁷ and have not³⁸⁰⁸ obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God.⁴³⁰

1  If⁵¹⁸ thou wilt return,⁷⁷²⁵ O Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ me: and if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt put away⁵⁴⁹³ thine abominations⁸²⁵¹ out of my sight,^{4480 6440} then shalt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ remove.⁵¹¹⁰

2  And thou shalt swear,⁷⁶⁵⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ in truth,⁵⁷¹ in judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and in righteousness;⁶⁶⁶⁶ and the nations¹⁴⁷¹ shall bless themselves¹²⁸⁸ in him, and in him shall they glory.¹⁹⁸⁴

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ Break up⁵²¹⁴ your fallow ground,⁵²¹⁵ and sow²²³² not⁴⁰⁸ among⁴¹³ thorns.⁶⁹⁷⁵

4  Circumcise yourselves⁴¹³⁵ to the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and take away⁵⁴⁹³ the foreskins⁶¹⁹⁰ of your heart,³⁸²⁴ ye men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ lest⁶⁴³⁵ my fury²⁵³⁴ come forth³³¹⁸ like fire,⁷⁸⁴ and burn¹¹⁹⁷ that none³⁶⁹ can quench³⁵¹⁸ it, because^{4480 6440} of the evil⁷⁴⁵⁵ of your doings.⁴⁶¹¹

5  Declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ ye in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and publish⁸⁰⁸⁵ in Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Blow⁸⁶²⁸ ye the trumpet⁷⁷⁸² in the land:⁷⁷⁶ cry,⁷¹²¹ gather together,⁴³⁹⁰ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Assemble yourselves,⁶²² and let us go⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the defensed⁴⁰¹³ cities.⁵⁸⁹²

6  Set up⁵³⁷⁵ the standard⁵²⁵¹ toward Zion:⁶⁷²⁶ retire,⁵⁷⁵⁶ stay⁵⁹⁷⁵ not:⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ from the north,^{4480 6828} and a great¹⁴¹⁹ destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

7  The lion⁷³⁸ is come up⁵⁹²⁷ from his thicket,^{4480 5441} and the destroyer⁷⁸⁴³ of the Gentiles¹⁴⁷¹ is on his way;⁵²⁶⁵ he is gone forth³³¹⁸ from his place^{4480 4725} to make⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy land⁷⁷⁶ desolate;⁸⁰⁴⁷ and thy cities⁵⁸⁹² shall be laid waste,⁵³²⁷ without^{4480 369} an inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

8  For⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ gird²²⁹⁶ you with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² lament⁵⁵⁹⁴ and howl:³²¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is not³⁸⁰⁸ turned back⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ us.

9  And it shall come to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that the heart³⁸²⁰ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ shall perish,⁶ and the heart³⁸²⁰ of the princes;⁸²⁶⁹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ shall be astonished,⁸⁰⁷⁴ and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ shall wonder.⁸⁵³⁹

10  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, Ah,¹⁶² Lord¹³⁶ GOD!³⁰⁶⁹ surely⁴⁰³ thou hast greatly deceived^{5377 5377} this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye shall have¹⁹⁶¹ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ whereas the sword²⁷¹⁹ reacheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the soul.⁵³¹⁵

11  At that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ shall it be said⁵⁵⁹ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ and to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ A dry⁶⁷⁰³ wind⁷³⁰⁷ of the high places⁸²⁰⁵ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ toward the daughter¹³²³ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ to fan,²²¹⁹ nor³⁸⁰⁸ to cleanse,¹³⁰⁵

12  Even a full⁴³⁹² wind⁷³⁰⁷ from those^{4480 428} places shall come⁹³⁵ unto me: now⁶²⁵⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ will I⁵⁸⁹ give¹⁶⁹⁶ sentence⁴⁹⁴¹ against them.

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he shall come up⁵⁹²⁷ as clouds,⁶⁰⁵¹ and his chariots⁴⁸¹⁸ shall be as a whirlwind:⁵⁴⁹² his horses⁵⁴⁸³ are swifter⁷⁰⁴³ than eagles.^{4480 5404} Woe¹⁸⁸ unto us! for³⁵⁸⁸ we are spoiled.⁷⁷⁰³

14  O Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ wash³⁵²⁶ thine heart³⁸²⁰ from wickedness,^{4480 7451} that⁴⁶¹⁶ thou mayest be saved.³⁴⁶⁷ How long^{5704 4970} shall thy vain²⁰⁵ thoughts⁴²⁸⁴ lodge³⁸⁸⁵ within⁷¹³⁰ thee?

15  For³⁵⁸⁸ a voice⁶⁹⁶³ declareth⁵⁰⁴⁶ from Dan,^{4480 1835} and publisheth⁸⁰⁸⁵ affliction²⁰⁵ from mount^{4480 2022} Ephraim.⁶⁶⁹

16  Make ye mention²¹⁴² to the nations;¹⁴⁷¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ publish⁸⁰⁸⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that watchers⁵³⁴¹ come⁹³⁵ from a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country,^{4480 776} and give out⁵⁴¹⁴ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ against⁵⁹²¹ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

17  As keepers⁸¹⁰⁴ of a field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ are¹⁹⁶¹ they against⁵⁹²¹ her round about;^{4480 5439} because³⁵⁸⁸ she hath been rebellious⁴⁷⁸⁴ against me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  Thy way¹⁸⁷⁰ and thy doings⁴⁶¹¹ have procured⁶²¹³ these⁴²⁸ things unto thee; this²⁰⁶³ is thy wickedness,⁷⁴⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ it is bitter,⁴⁷⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ it reacheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ thine heart.³⁸²⁰

19  My bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ my bowels!⁴⁵⁷⁸ I am pained³¹⁷⁶ at my very⁷⁰²³ heart;³⁸²⁰ my heart³⁸²⁰ maketh a noise¹⁹⁹³ in me; I cannot³⁸⁰⁸ hold my peace,²⁷⁹⁰ because³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O my soul,⁵³¹⁵ the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² the alarm⁸⁶⁴³ of war.⁴⁴²¹

20  Destruction⁷⁶⁶⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ destruction⁷⁶⁶⁷ is cried;⁷¹²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ is spoiled:⁷⁷⁰³ suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ are my tents¹⁶⁸ spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³ and my curtains³⁴⁰⁷ in a moment.⁷²⁸¹

21  How long^{5704 4970} shall I see⁷²⁰⁰ the standard,⁵²⁵¹ and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet?⁷⁷⁸²

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ is foolish,¹⁹¹ they have not³⁸⁰⁸ known³⁰⁴⁵ me; they¹⁹⁹² are sottish⁵⁵³⁰ children,¹¹²¹ and they¹⁹⁹² have none³⁸⁰⁸ understanding:⁹⁹⁵ they¹⁹⁹² are wise²⁴⁵⁰ to do evil,⁷⁴⁸⁹ but to do good³¹⁹⁰ they have no³⁸⁰⁸ knowledge.³⁰⁴⁵

23  I beheld^{7200 853} the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ it was without form,⁸⁴¹⁴ and void;⁹²² and the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and they had no³⁶⁹ light.²¹⁶

24  I beheld⁷²⁰⁰ the mountains,²⁰²² and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they trembled,⁷⁴⁹³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the hills¹³⁸⁹ moved lightly.⁷⁰⁴³

25  I beheld,⁷²⁰⁰ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ there was no³⁶⁹ man,¹²⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the birds⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ were fled.⁵⁰⁷⁴

26  I beheld,⁷²⁰⁰ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ the fruitful place³⁷⁵⁹ was a wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² thereof were broken down⁵⁴²² at the presence^{4480 6440} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and by^{4480 6440} his fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger.⁶³⁹

27  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ The whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ desolate;⁸⁰⁷⁷ yet will I not³⁸⁰⁸ make⁶²¹³ a full end.³⁶¹⁷

28  For⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ shall the earth⁷⁷⁶ mourn,⁵⁶ and the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ above^{4480 4605} be black:⁶⁹³⁷ because^{5921 3588} I have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it, I have purposed²¹⁶¹ it, and will not³⁸⁰⁸ repent,⁵¹⁶² neither³⁸⁰⁸ will I turn back⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ it.

29  The whole³⁶⁰⁵ city⁵⁸⁹² shall flee¹²⁷² for the noise^{4480 6963} of the horsemen⁶⁵⁷¹ and bowmen;^{7411 7198} they shall go⁹³⁵ into thickets,⁵⁶⁴⁵ and climb up⁵⁹²⁷ upon the rocks:³⁷¹⁰ every³⁶⁰⁵ city⁵⁸⁹² shall be forsaken,⁵⁸⁰⁰ and not³⁶⁹ a man³⁷⁶ dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.²⁰⁰⁴

30  And when thou⁸⁵⁹ art spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³ what⁴¹⁰⁰ wilt thou do?⁶²¹³ Though³⁵⁸⁸ thou clothest³⁸⁴⁷ thyself with crimson,⁸¹⁴⁴ though³⁵⁸⁸ thou deckest⁵⁷¹⁰ thee with ornaments⁵⁷¹⁶ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ though³⁵⁸⁸ thou rentest⁷¹⁶⁷ thy face⁵⁸⁶⁹ with painting,⁶³²⁰ in vain⁷⁷²³ shalt thou make thyself fair;³³⁰² thy lovers⁵⁶⁸⁹ will despise³⁹⁸⁸ thee, they will seek¹²⁴⁵ thy life.⁵³¹⁵

31  For³⁵⁸⁸ I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ a voice⁶⁹⁶³ as of a woman in travail,²⁴⁷⁰ and the anguish⁶⁸⁶⁹ as of her that bringeth forth her first child,¹⁰⁶⁹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the daughter¹³²³ of Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ that bewaileth herself,³³⁰⁶ that spreadeth⁶⁵⁶⁶ her hands,³⁷⁰⁹ saying, Woe¹⁸⁸ is me now!⁴⁹⁹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ is wearied⁵⁸⁸⁸ because of murderers.²⁰²⁶

1  Run ye to and fro⁷⁷⁵¹ through the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and see⁷²⁰⁰ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and know,³⁰⁴⁵ and seek¹²⁴⁵ in the broad places⁷³³⁹ thereof, if⁵¹⁸ ye can find⁴⁶⁷² a man,³⁷⁶ if⁵¹⁸ there be³⁴²⁶ any that executeth⁶²¹³ judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ that seeketh¹²⁴⁵ the truth;⁵³⁰ and I will pardon⁵⁵⁴⁵ it.

2  And though⁵¹⁸ they say,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth;²⁴¹⁶ surely³⁶⁵¹ they swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ falsely.⁸²⁶⁷

3  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are not³⁸⁰⁸ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ upon the truth?⁵³⁰ thou hast stricken⁵²²¹ them, but they have not³⁸⁰⁸ grieved;²³⁴² thou hast consumed³⁶¹⁵ them, but they have refused³⁹⁸⁵ to receive³⁹⁴⁷ correction:⁴¹⁴⁸ they have made their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ harder²³⁸⁸ than a rock;^{4480 5553} they have refused³⁹⁸⁵ to return.⁷⁷²⁵

4  Therefore I⁵⁸⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ these¹⁹⁹² are poor;¹⁸⁰⁰ they are foolish:²⁹⁷³ for³⁵⁸⁸ they know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ nor the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of their God.⁴³⁰

5  I will get¹⁹⁸⁰ me unto⁴¹³ the great men,¹⁴¹⁹ and will speak unto¹⁶⁹⁶ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² have known³⁰⁴⁵ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of their God:⁴³⁰ but³⁸⁹ these¹⁹⁹² have altogether³¹⁶² broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ the yoke,⁵⁹²³ and burst⁵⁴²³ the bonds.⁴¹⁴⁷

6  Wherefore^{5921 3651} a lion⁷³⁸ out of the forest^{4480 3293} shall slay⁵²²¹ them, and a wolf²⁰⁶¹ of the evenings⁶¹⁶⁰ shall spoil⁷⁷⁰³ them, a leopard⁵²⁴⁶ shall watch⁸²⁴⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ their cities:⁵⁸⁹² every one³⁶⁰⁵ that goeth out³³¹⁸ thence^{4480 2007} shall be torn in pieces:²⁹⁶³ because³⁵⁸⁸ their transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ are many,⁷²³¹ and their backslidings⁴⁸⁷⁸ are increased.⁶¹⁰⁵

7  How³³⁵ shall I pardon⁵⁵⁴⁵ thee for this?²⁰⁶³ thy children¹¹²¹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ by them that are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods:⁴³⁰ when I had fed them to the full,^{7646 853} they then committed adultery,⁵⁰⁰³ and assembled themselves¹⁴¹³ by troops in the harlots²¹⁸¹ houses.¹⁰⁰⁴

8  They were¹⁹⁶¹ as fed²¹⁰⁹ horses⁵⁴⁸³ in the morning:⁷⁹⁰⁴ every one³⁷⁶ neighed⁶⁶⁷⁰ after⁴¹³ his neighbor's⁷⁴⁵³ wife.⁸⁰²

9  Shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ these⁴²⁸ things? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and⁵¹⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ on such⁸³⁴ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ as this?²⁰⁸⁸

10  Go ye up⁵⁹²⁷ upon her walls,⁸²⁸⁴ and destroy;⁷⁸⁴³ but make⁶²¹³ not⁴⁰⁸ a full end:³⁶¹⁷ take away⁵⁴⁹³ her battlements;⁵¹⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are not³⁸⁰⁸ the LORD's.³⁰⁶⁸

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ have dealt very treacherously^{898 898} against me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

12  They have belied³⁵⁸⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It is not³⁸⁰⁸ he;¹⁹³¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall evil⁷⁴⁵¹ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us; neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall we see⁷²⁰⁰ sword²⁷¹⁹ nor famine:⁷⁴⁵⁸

13  And the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ shall become¹⁹⁶¹ wind,⁷³⁰⁷ and the word¹⁶⁹⁹ is not³⁶⁹ in them: thus³⁵⁴¹ shall it be done⁶²¹³ unto them.

14  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Because³²⁸² ye speak^{1696 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word,¹⁶⁹⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ in thy mouth⁶³¹⁰ fire,⁷⁸⁴ and this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and it shall devour³⁹⁸ them.

15  Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you from far,^{4480 4801} O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ it¹⁹³¹ is a mighty³⁸⁶ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ it¹⁹³¹ is an ancient^{4480 5769} nation,¹⁴⁷¹ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ whose language³⁹⁵⁶ thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ understandest⁸⁰⁸⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ they say.¹⁶⁹⁶

16  Their quiver⁸²⁷ is as an open⁶⁶⁰⁵ sepulcher,⁶⁹¹³ they are all³⁶⁰⁵ mighty men.¹³⁶⁸

17  And they shall eat up³⁹⁸ thine harvest,⁷¹⁰⁵ and thy bread,³⁸⁹⁹ which thy sons¹¹²¹ and thy daughters¹³²³ should eat:³⁹⁸ they shall eat up³⁹⁸ thy flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and thine herds:¹²⁴¹ they shall eat up³⁹⁸ thy vines¹⁶¹² and thy fig trees:⁸³⁸⁴ they shall impoverish⁷⁵⁶⁷ thy fenced⁴⁰¹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² wherein⁸³⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ trustedst,⁹⁸² with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

18  Nevertheless¹⁵⁷¹ in those¹⁹⁹² days,³¹¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ make⁶²¹³ a full end³⁶¹⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ you.

19  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ ye shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore^{8478 4100} doeth⁶²¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God^{430 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things unto us? then shalt thou answer^{559 413} them, Like⁸³⁴ as ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ strange⁵²³⁶ gods⁴³⁰ in your land,⁷⁷⁶ so³⁶⁵¹ shall ye serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ strangers²¹¹⁴ in a land⁷⁷⁶ that is not³⁸⁰⁸ yours.

20  Declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ this²⁰⁶³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and publish⁸⁰⁸⁵ it in Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹

21  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ this,²⁰⁶³ O foolish⁵⁵³⁰ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and without³⁶⁹ understanding;³⁸²⁰ which have eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and see⁷²⁰⁰ not;³⁸⁰⁸ which have ears,²⁴¹ and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ not:³⁸⁰⁸

22  Fear³³⁷² ye not³⁸⁰⁸ me? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ will ye not³⁸⁰⁸ tremble²³⁴² at my presence,^{4480 6440} which⁸³⁴ have placed⁷⁷⁶⁰ the sand²³⁴⁴ for the bound¹³⁶⁶ of the sea³²²⁰ by a perpetual⁵⁷⁶⁹ decree,²⁷⁰⁶ that it cannot³⁸⁰⁸ pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ it: and though the waves¹⁵³⁰ thereof toss themselves,¹⁶⁰⁷ yet can they not³⁸⁰⁸ prevail;³²⁰¹ though they roar,¹⁹⁹³ yet can they not³⁸⁰⁸ pass over⁵⁶⁷⁴ it?

23  But this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ hath¹⁹⁶¹ a revolting⁵⁶³⁷ and a rebellious⁴⁷⁸⁴ heart;³⁸²⁰ they are revolted⁵⁴⁹³ and gone.¹⁹⁸⁰

24  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ say⁵⁵⁹ they in their heart,³⁸²⁴ Let us now⁴⁹⁹⁴ fear^{3372 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ that giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ rain,¹⁶⁵³ both the former³¹³⁸ and the latter,⁴⁴⁵⁶ in his season:⁶²⁵⁶ he reserveth⁸¹⁰⁴ unto us the appointed²⁷⁰⁸ weeks⁷⁶²⁰ of the harvest.⁷¹⁰⁵

25  Your iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ have turned away⁵¹⁸⁶ these⁴²⁸ things, and your sins²⁴⁰³ have withheld⁴⁵¹³ good²⁸⁹⁶ things from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you.

26  For³⁵⁸⁸ among my people⁵⁹⁷¹ are found⁴⁶⁷² wicked⁷⁵⁶³ men: they lay wait,⁷⁷⁸⁹ as he that setteth⁷⁹¹⁸ snares;³³⁵³ they set⁵³²⁴ a trap,⁴⁸⁸⁹ they catch³⁹²⁰ men.³⁷⁶

27  As a cage³⁶¹⁹ is full⁴³⁹² of birds,⁵⁷⁷⁵ so³⁶⁵¹ are their houses¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹² of deceit:⁴⁸²⁰ therefore^{5921 3651} they are become great,¹⁴³¹ and waxen rich.⁶²³⁸

28  They are waxen fat,⁸⁰⁸⁰ they shine:⁶²⁴⁵ yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they overpass⁵⁶⁷⁴ the deeds¹⁶⁹⁷ of the wicked:⁷⁴⁵¹ they judge¹⁷⁷⁷ not³⁸⁰⁸ the cause,¹⁷⁷⁹ the cause¹⁷⁷⁹ of the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ yet they prosper;⁶⁷⁴³ and the right⁴⁹⁴¹ of the needy³⁴ do they not³⁸⁰⁸ judge.⁸¹⁹⁹

29  Shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ these⁴²⁸ things? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ on such⁸³⁴ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ as this?²⁰⁸⁸

30  A wonderful⁸⁰⁴⁷ and horrible thing⁸¹⁸⁶ is committed¹⁹⁶¹ in the land;⁷⁷⁶

31  The prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesy⁵⁰¹² falsely,⁸²⁶⁷ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ bear rule⁷²⁸⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ their means;³⁰²⁷ and my people⁵⁹⁷¹ love¹⁵⁷ to have it so:³⁶⁵¹ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ will ye do⁶²¹³ in the end³¹⁹ thereof?

Jeremiah 6

1  O ye children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ gather yourselves to flee⁵⁷⁵⁶ out of the midst^{4480 7130} of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and blow⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpet⁷⁷⁸² in Tekoa,⁸⁶²⁰ and set up⁵³⁷⁵ a sign of fire⁴⁸⁶⁴ in⁵⁹²¹ Beth-haccerem:¹⁰²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ appeareth⁸²⁵⁹ out of the north,^{4480 6828} and great¹⁴¹⁹ destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

2  I have likened¹⁸¹⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of Zion⁶⁷²⁶ to a comely⁵⁰⁰⁰ and delicate⁶⁰²⁶ woman.

3  The shepherds⁷⁴⁶² with their flocks⁵⁷³⁹ shall come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her; they shall pitch⁸⁶²⁸ their tents¹⁶⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ her round about;⁵⁴³⁹ they shall feed⁷⁴⁶² every one³⁷⁶ in⁸⁵⁴ his place.³⁰²⁷

4  Prepare⁶⁹⁴² ye war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ her; arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and let us go up⁵⁹²⁷ at noon.⁶⁶⁷² Woe¹⁸⁸ unto us! for³⁵⁸⁸ the day³¹¹⁷ goeth away,⁶⁴³⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the shadows⁶⁷⁵² of the evening⁶¹⁵³ are stretched out.⁵¹⁸⁶

5  Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and let us go⁵⁹²⁷ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and let us destroy⁷⁸⁴³ her palaces.⁷⁵⁹

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ Hew ye down³⁷⁷² trees,⁶⁰⁹⁷ and cast⁸²¹⁰ a mount⁵⁵⁵⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ this¹⁹³¹ is the city⁵⁸⁹² to be visited;⁶⁴⁸⁵ she is wholly³⁶⁰⁵ oppression⁶²³³ in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of her.

7  As a fountain⁹⁵³ casteth out⁶⁹⁷⁹ her waters,⁴³²⁵ so³⁶⁵¹ she casteth⁶⁹⁷⁹ out her wickedness:⁷⁴⁵¹ violence²⁵⁵⁵ and spoil⁷⁷⁰¹ is heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in her; before^{5921 6440} me continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ is grief²⁴⁸³ and wounds.⁴³⁴⁷

8  Be thou instructed,³²⁵⁶ O Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ lest⁶⁴³⁵ my soul⁵³¹⁵ depart³³⁶³ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee; lest⁶⁴³⁵ I make⁷⁷⁶⁰ thee desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ a land⁷⁷⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ inhabited.³⁴²⁷

9  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ They shall throughly glean^{5953 5953} the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ as a vine:¹⁶¹² turn back⁷⁷²⁵ thine hand³⁰²⁷ as a grape gatherer¹²¹⁹ into⁵⁹²¹ the baskets.⁵⁵⁵²

10  To⁵⁹²¹ whom⁴³¹⁰ shall I speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ and give warning,⁵⁷⁴⁹ that they may hear?⁸⁰⁸⁵ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ their ear²⁴¹ is uncircumcised,⁶¹⁸⁹ and they cannot^{3201 3808} hearken:⁷¹⁸¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is¹⁹⁶¹ unto them a reproach;²⁷⁸¹ they have no³⁸⁰⁸ delight²⁶⁵⁴ in it.

11  Therefore I am full⁴³⁹² of⁸⁵⁴ the fury²⁵³⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I am weary³⁸¹¹ with holding³⁵⁵⁷ in: I will pour it out⁸²¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the children⁵⁷⁶⁸ abroad,²³⁵¹ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the assembly⁵⁴⁷⁵ of young men⁹⁷⁰ together:³¹⁶² for³⁵⁸⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ the husband³⁷⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ the wife⁸⁰² shall be taken,³⁹²⁰ the aged²²⁰⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him that is full⁴³⁹⁰ of days.³¹¹⁷

12  And their houses¹⁰⁰⁴ shall be turned⁵⁴³⁷ unto others,³¹² with their fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ and wives⁸⁰² together:³¹⁶² for³⁵⁸⁸ I will stretch out^{5186 853} my hand³⁰²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ from the least^{4480 6996} of them even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the greatest¹⁴¹⁹ of them every one³⁶⁰⁵ is given to¹²¹⁴ covetousness;¹²¹⁵ and from the prophet^{4480 5030} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ dealeth⁶²¹³ falsely.⁸²⁶⁷

14  They have healed⁷⁴⁹⁵ also ⁸⁵³ the hurt⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ slightly,^{5921 7043} saying,⁵⁵⁹ Peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ when there is no³⁶⁹ peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

15  Were they ashamed⁹⁵⁴ when³⁵⁸⁸ they had committed⁶²¹³ abomination?⁸⁴⁴¹ nay,¹⁵⁷¹ they were not³⁸⁰⁸ at all ashamed,^{954 954} neither³⁸⁰⁸ could³⁰⁴⁵ they blush:³⁶³⁷ therefore³⁶⁵¹ they shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ among them that fall:⁵³⁰⁷ at the time⁶²⁵⁶ that I visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ them they shall be cast down,³⁷⁸² saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

16  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ ye in⁵⁹²¹ the ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and see,⁷²⁰⁰ and ask⁷⁵⁹² for the old⁵⁷⁶⁹ paths,⁵⁴¹⁰ where^{335 2088} is the good²⁸⁹⁶ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ therein, and ye shall find⁴⁶⁷² rest⁴⁷⁷¹ for your souls.⁵³¹⁵ But they said,⁵⁵⁹ We will not³⁸⁰⁸ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ therein.

17  Also I set⁶⁹⁶⁵ watchmen⁶⁸²² over⁵⁹²¹ you, saying, Hearken⁷¹⁸¹ to the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet.⁷⁷⁸² But they said,⁵⁵⁹ We will not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken.⁷¹⁸¹

18  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye nations,¹⁴⁷¹ and know,³⁰⁴⁵ O congregation,^{5712 853} what⁸³⁴ is among them.

19  Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O earth:⁷⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of their thoughts,⁴²⁸⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have not³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁷¹⁸¹ unto⁵⁹²¹ my words,¹⁶⁹⁷ nor to my law,⁸⁴⁵¹ but rejected³⁹⁸⁸ it.

20  To what⁴¹⁰⁰ purpose²⁰⁸⁸ cometh⁹³⁵ there to me incense³⁸²⁸ from Sheba,^{4480 7614} and the sweet²⁸⁹⁶ cane⁷⁰⁷⁰ from a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country?^{4480 776} your burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ are not³⁸⁰⁸ acceptable,⁷⁵²² nor³⁸⁰⁸ your sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ sweet⁶¹⁴⁹ unto me.

21  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will lay⁵⁴¹⁴ stumblingblocks⁴³⁸³ before⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and the fathers¹ and the sons¹¹²¹ together³¹⁶² shall fall³⁷⁸² upon them; the neighbor⁷⁹³⁴ and his friend⁷⁴⁵³ shall perish.⁶

22  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a people⁵⁹⁷¹ cometh⁹³⁵ from the north⁶⁸²⁸ country,^{4480 776} and a great¹⁴¹⁹ nation¹⁴⁷¹ shall be raised⁵⁷⁸² from the sides^{4480 3411} of the earth.⁷⁷⁶

23  They shall lay hold²³⁸⁸ on bow⁷¹⁹⁸ and spear;³⁵⁹¹ they¹⁹³¹ are cruel,³⁹⁴ and have no³⁸⁰⁸ mercy;⁷³⁵⁵ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ roareth¹⁹⁹³ like the sea;³²²⁰ and they ride⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ set in array⁶¹⁸⁶ as men³⁷⁶ for war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ thee, O daughter¹³²³ of Zion.⁶⁷²⁶

24  We have heard^{8085 853} the fame⁸⁰⁸⁹ thereof: our hands³⁰²⁷ wax feeble:⁷⁵⁰³ anguish⁶⁸⁶⁹ hath taken hold²³⁸⁸ of us, and pain,²⁴²⁷ as of a woman in travail.³²⁰⁵

25  Go not forth^{408 3318} into the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ nor⁴⁰⁸ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ by the way;¹⁸⁷⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the enemy³⁴¹ and fear⁴⁰³² is on every side.^{4480 5439}

26  O daughter¹³²³ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ gird²²⁹⁶ thee with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² and wallow thyself⁶⁴²⁸ in ashes:⁶⁶⁵ make⁶²¹³ thee mourning,⁶⁰ as for an only son,³¹⁷³ most bitter⁸⁵⁶³ lamentation:⁴⁵⁵³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ shall suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us.

27  I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee for a tower⁹⁶⁹ and a fortress⁴⁰¹³ among my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that thou mayest know³⁰⁴⁵ and try^{974 853} their way.¹⁸⁷⁰

28  They are all³⁶⁰⁵ grievous⁵⁴⁹³ revolters,⁵⁶³⁷ walking¹⁹⁸⁰ with slanders:⁷⁴⁰⁰ they are brass⁵¹⁷⁸ and iron;¹²⁷⁰ they¹⁹⁹² are all³⁶⁰⁵ corrupters.⁷⁸⁴³

29  The bellows⁴⁶⁴⁷ are burned,²⁷⁸⁷ the lead⁵⁷⁷⁷ is consumed⁸⁵⁵² of the fire;^{4480 784} the founder⁶⁸⁸⁴ melteth⁶⁸⁸⁴ in vain:⁷⁷²³ for the wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ are not³⁸⁰⁸ plucked away.⁵⁴²³

30  Reprobate³⁹⁸⁸ silver³⁷⁰¹ shall men call⁷¹²¹ them, because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath rejected³⁹⁸⁸ them.

Jeremiah 7

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and proclaim⁷¹²¹ there^{8033 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word,¹⁶⁹⁷ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ ye of Judah,³⁰⁶³ that enter⁹³⁵ in at these⁴²⁸ gates⁸¹⁷⁹ to worship⁷⁸¹² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Amend³¹⁹⁰ your ways¹⁸⁷⁰ and your doings,⁴⁶¹¹ and I will cause you to dwell⁷⁹³¹ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

4  Trust⁹⁸² ye not⁴⁰⁸ in⁴¹³ lying⁸²⁶⁷ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ The temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ The temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are these.¹⁹⁹²

5  For³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ ye throughly amend^{3190 3190 853} your ways¹⁸⁷⁰ and your doings;⁴⁶¹¹ if⁵¹⁸ ye throughly execute^{6213 6213} judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ between⁹⁹⁶ a man³⁷⁶ and his neighbor;⁷⁴⁵³

6  If ye oppress⁶²³¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ the stranger,¹⁶¹⁶ the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ and the widow,⁴⁹⁰ and shed⁸²¹⁰ not⁴⁰⁸ innocent⁵³⁵⁵ blood¹⁸¹⁸ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ neither³⁸⁰⁸ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ other³¹² gods⁴³⁰ to your hurt:⁷⁴⁵¹

7  Then will I cause you to dwell⁷⁹³¹ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to your fathers,¹ forever^{4480 5769} and ever.^{5704 5769}

8  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ ye⁸⁵⁹ trust⁹⁸² in⁵⁹²¹ lying⁸²⁶⁷ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ that cannot¹¹¹⁵ profit.³²⁷⁶

9  Will ye steal,¹⁵⁸⁹ murder,⁷⁵²³ and commit adultery,⁵⁰⁰³ and swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ falsely,⁸²⁶⁷ and burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ other³¹² gods⁴³⁰ whom⁸³⁴ ye know³⁰⁴⁵ not;³⁸⁰⁸

10  And come⁹³⁵ and stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me in this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ is called⁷¹²¹ by⁵⁹²¹ my name,⁸⁰³⁴ and say,⁵⁵⁹ We are delivered to do^{5337 4616 6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ abominations?⁸⁴⁴¹

11  Is this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ is called⁷¹²¹ by⁵⁹²¹ my name,⁸⁰³⁴ become¹⁹⁶¹ a den⁴⁶³¹ of robbers⁶⁵³⁰ in your eyes?⁵⁸⁶⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ even¹⁵⁷¹ I⁵⁹⁵ have seen⁷²⁰⁰ it, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

12  But³⁵⁸⁸ go¹⁹⁸⁰ ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ unto⁴¹³ my place⁴⁷²⁵ which⁸³⁴ was in Shiloh,⁷⁸⁸⁷ where⁸³⁴ I set⁷⁹³¹ my name⁸⁰³⁴ at the first,⁷²²³ and see^{7200 853} what⁸³⁴ I did⁶²¹³ to it for^{4480 6440} the wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

13  And now,⁶⁵²⁸ because³²⁸² ye have done^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ works,⁴⁶³⁹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and I spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ you, rising up early⁷⁹²⁵ and speaking,¹⁶⁹⁶ but ye heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ not;³⁸⁰⁸ and I called⁷¹²¹ you, but ye answered⁶⁰³⁰ not;³⁸⁰⁸

14  Therefore will I do⁶²¹³ unto this house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ is called⁷¹²¹ by⁵⁹²¹ my name,⁸⁰³⁴ wherein⁸³⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ trust,⁹⁸² and unto the place⁴⁷²⁵ which⁸³⁴ I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to you and to your fathers,¹ as⁸³⁴ I have done⁶²¹³ to Shiloh.⁷⁸⁸⁷

15  And I will cast⁷⁹⁹³ you out of^{4480 5921} my sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ as⁸³⁴ I have cast out^{7993 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ your brethren,^{251 853} even the whole³⁶⁰⁵ seed²²³³ of Ephraim.⁶⁶⁹

16  Therefore pray⁶⁴¹⁹ not⁴⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ for¹¹⁵⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ lift up⁵³⁷⁵ cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ nor prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ for¹¹⁵⁷ them, neither⁴⁰⁸ make intercession⁶²⁹³ to me: for³⁵⁸⁸ I will not³⁶⁹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thee.

17  Seest⁷²⁰⁰ thou not³⁶⁹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ they¹⁹⁹² do⁶²¹³ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ and in the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem?³³⁸⁹

18  The children¹¹²¹ gather³⁹⁵⁰ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and the fathers¹ kindle^{1197 853} the fire,⁷⁸⁴ and the women⁸⁰² knead³⁸⁸⁸ their dough,¹²¹⁷ to make⁶²¹³ cakes³⁵⁶¹ to the queen⁴⁴⁴⁶ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and to pour out⁵²⁵⁸ drink offerings⁵²⁶² unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ that⁴⁶¹⁶ they may provoke me to anger.³⁷⁰⁷

19  Do they¹⁹⁹² provoke me to anger?^{3707 853} saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ do they not³⁸⁰⁸ provoke themselves to⁴⁶¹⁶ the confusion¹³²² of their own faces?⁶⁴⁴⁰

20  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord¹³⁶ GOD;³⁰⁶⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ mine anger⁶³⁹ and my fury²⁵³⁴ shall be poured out⁵⁴¹³ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ man,¹²⁰ and upon⁵⁹²¹ beast,⁹²⁹ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ of the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of the ground;¹²⁷ and it shall burn,¹¹⁹⁷ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be quenched.³⁵¹⁸

21  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Put⁵⁵⁹⁵ your burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ unto⁵⁹²¹ your sacrifices,²⁰⁷⁷ and eat³⁹⁸ flesh.¹³²⁰

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ I spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto ⁸⁵³ your fathers,¹ nor³⁸⁰⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them in the day³¹¹⁷ that I brought³³¹⁸ them out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ concerning^{5921 1697} burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ or sacrifices:²⁰⁷⁷

23  But^{3588 518 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ I them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and I will be¹⁹⁶¹ your God,⁴³⁰ and ye⁸⁵⁹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ my people:⁵⁹⁷¹ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ ye in all³⁶⁰⁵ the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ that⁸³⁴ I have commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ you, that⁴⁶¹⁶ it may be well³¹⁹⁰ unto you.

24  But they hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ inclined^{5186 853} their ear,²⁴¹ but walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the counsels⁴¹⁵⁶ and in the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of their evil⁷⁴⁵¹ heart,³⁸²⁰ and went¹⁹⁶¹ backward,²⁶⁸ and not³⁸⁰⁸ forward.⁶⁴⁴⁰

25  Since⁴⁴⁸⁰ the day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ your fathers¹ came forth³³¹⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ I have even sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ you ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ my servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ daily³¹¹⁷ rising up early⁷⁹²⁵ and sending⁷⁹⁷¹ them:

26  Yet they hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ me, nor³⁸⁰⁸ inclined^{5186 853} their ear,²⁴¹ but hardened^{7185 853} their neck:⁶²⁰³ they did worse⁷⁴⁸⁹ than their fathers.^{4480 1}

27  Therefore thou shalt speak^{1696 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ them; but they will not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ thee: thou shalt also call⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ them; but they will not³⁸⁰⁸ answer⁶⁰³⁰ thee.

28  But thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, This²⁰⁸⁸ is a nation¹⁴⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ obeyeth⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God,⁴³⁰ nor³⁸⁰⁸ receiveth³⁹⁴⁷ correction:⁴¹⁴⁸ truth⁵³⁰ is perished,⁶ and is cut off³⁷⁷² from their mouth.^{4480 6310}

29  Cut off¹⁴⁹⁴ thine hair,⁵¹⁴⁵ O Jerusalem, and cast it away,⁷⁹⁹³ and take up⁵³⁷⁵ a lamentation⁷⁰¹⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ high places;⁸²⁰⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath rejected³⁹⁸⁸ and forsaken^{5203 853} the generation¹⁷⁵⁵ of his wrath.⁵⁶⁷⁸

30  For³⁵⁸⁸ the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ have done⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in my sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ they have set⁷⁷⁶⁰ their abominations⁸²⁵¹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ is called⁷¹²¹ by⁵⁹²¹ my name,⁸⁰³⁴ to pollute²⁹³⁰ it.

31  And they have built¹¹²⁹ the high places¹¹¹⁶ of Tophet,⁸⁶¹² which⁸³⁴ is in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ to burn^{8313 853} their sons¹¹²¹ and their daughters¹³²³ in the fire;⁷⁸⁴ which⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ came⁵⁹²⁷ it into⁵⁹²¹ my heart.³⁸²⁰

32  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that it shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ be called⁵⁵⁹ Tophet,⁸⁶¹² nor the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ but^{3588 518} the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of slaughter:²⁰²⁸ for they shall bury⁶⁹¹² in Tophet,⁸⁶¹² till there be no^{4480 369} place.⁴⁷²⁵

33  And the carcasses⁵⁰³⁸ of this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ meat³⁹⁷⁸ for the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and for the beasts⁹²⁹ of the earth;⁷⁷⁶ and none³⁶⁹ shall frighten them away.²⁷²⁹

34  Then will I cause to cease⁷⁶⁷³ from the cities^{4480 5892} of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and from the streets^{4480 2351} of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of mirth,⁸³⁴² and the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of gladness,⁸⁰⁵⁷ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the bridegroom,²⁸⁶⁰ and the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the bride:³⁶¹⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the land⁷⁷⁶ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ desolate.²⁷²³

Jeremiah 8

1  At that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ they shall bring out^{3318 853} the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ out of their graves:^{4480 6913}

2  And they shall spread⁷⁸⁴⁹ them before the sun,⁸¹²¹ and the moon,³³⁹⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ whom⁸³⁴ they have loved,¹⁵⁷ and whom⁸³⁴ they have served,⁵⁶⁴⁷ and after³¹⁰ whom⁸³⁴ they have walked,¹⁹⁸⁰ and whom⁸³⁴ they have sought,¹⁸⁷⁵ and whom⁸³⁴ they have worshiped:⁷⁸¹² they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be gathered,⁶²² nor³⁸⁰⁸ be buried;⁶⁹¹² they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ for dung¹⁸²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth.¹²⁷

3  And death⁴¹⁹⁴ shall be chosen⁹⁷⁷ rather than life^{4480 2416} by all³⁶⁰⁵ the residue⁷⁶¹¹ of them that remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ family,⁴⁹⁴⁰ which remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the places⁴⁷²⁵ whither^{834 8033} I have driven⁵⁰⁸⁰ them, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

4  Moreover thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Shall they fall,⁵³⁰⁷ and not³⁸⁰⁸ arise?⁶⁹⁶⁵ shall he turn away,⁷⁷²⁵ and not³⁸⁰⁸ return?⁷⁷²⁵

5  Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ then is this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ slid back⁷⁷²⁵ by a perpetual⁵³²⁹ backsliding?⁴⁸⁷⁸ they hold fast²³⁸⁸ deceit,⁸⁶⁴⁹ they refuse³⁹⁸⁵ to return.⁷⁷²⁵

6  I hearkened⁷¹⁸¹ and heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ but they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ aright:³⁶⁵¹ no³⁶⁹ man³⁷⁶ repented⁵¹⁶² him of⁵⁹²¹ his wickedness,⁷⁴⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I done?⁶²¹³ every one³⁶⁰⁵ turned⁷⁷²⁵ to his course,⁴⁷⁹⁴ as the horse⁵⁴⁸³ rusheth⁷⁸⁵⁷ into the battle.⁴⁴²¹

7  Yea,¹⁵⁷¹ the stork²⁶²⁴ in the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ her appointed times;⁴¹⁵⁰ and the turtle⁸⁴⁴⁹ and the crane⁵⁴⁸³ and the swallow⁵⁶⁹³ observe^{8104 853} the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their coming;⁹³⁵ but my people⁵⁹⁷¹ know³⁰⁴⁵ not^{3808 853} the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

8  How³⁴⁹ do ye say,⁵⁵⁹ We⁵⁸⁷ are wise,²⁴⁵⁰ and the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁸⁵⁴ us? Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ certainly⁴⁰³ in vain⁸²⁶⁷ made⁶²¹³ he it; the pen⁵⁸⁴² of the scribes⁵⁶⁰⁸ is in vain.⁸²⁶⁷

9  The wise²⁴⁵⁰ men are ashamed,⁹⁵⁴ they are dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ and taken:³⁹²⁰ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they have rejected³⁹⁸⁸ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ is in them?

10  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ will I give^{5414 853} their wives⁸⁰² unto others,³¹² and their fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ to them that shall inherit³⁴²³ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ from the least^{4480 6996} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the greatest¹⁴¹⁹ is given to covetousness,^{1214 1215} from the prophet^{4480 5030} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ dealeth⁶²¹³ falsely.⁸²⁶⁷

11  For they have healed^{7495 853} the hurt⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ slightly,⁷⁰⁴³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ when there is no³⁶⁹ peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

12  Were they ashamed⁹⁵⁴ when³⁵⁸⁸ they had committed⁶²¹³ abomination?⁸⁴⁴¹ nay,¹⁵⁷¹ they were not³⁸⁰⁸ at all ashamed,^{954 954} neither³⁸⁰⁸ could³⁰⁴⁵ they blush:³⁶³⁷ therefore³⁶⁵¹ shall they fall⁵³⁰⁷ among them that fall:⁵³⁰⁷ in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their visitation⁶⁴⁸⁶ they shall be cast down,³⁷⁸² saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  I will surely consume^{5486 5486} them, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ there shall be no³⁶⁹ grapes⁶⁰²⁵ on the vine,¹⁶¹² nor³⁶⁹ figs⁸³⁸⁴ on the fig tree,⁸³⁸⁴ and the leaf⁵⁹²⁹ shall fade;⁵⁰³⁴ and the things that I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ them shall pass away⁵⁶⁷⁴ from them.

14  Why^{4100 5921} do we⁵⁸⁷ sit³⁴²⁷ still? assemble yourselves,⁶²² and let us enter⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the defensed⁴⁰¹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and let us be silent¹⁸²⁶ there:⁸⁰³³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ hath put us to silence,¹⁸²⁶ and given us water⁴³²⁵ of gall⁷²¹⁹ to drink,⁸²⁴⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  We looked⁶⁹⁶⁰ for peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ but no³⁶⁹ good²⁸⁹⁶ came; and for a time⁶²⁵⁶ of health,⁴⁸³² and behold²⁰⁰⁹ trouble!¹²⁰⁵

16  The snorting⁵¹⁷⁰ of his horses⁵⁴⁸³ was heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ from Dan:^{4480 1835} the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ trembled⁷⁴⁹³ at the sound^{4480 6963} of the neighing⁴⁶⁸⁴ of his strong ones;⁴⁷ for they are come,⁹³⁵ and have devoured³⁹⁸ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and all⁴³⁹³ that is in it; the city,⁵⁸⁹² and those that dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.

17  For,³⁵⁸⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will send⁷⁹⁷¹ serpents,⁵¹⁷⁵ cockatrices,⁶⁸⁴⁸ among you, which⁸³⁴ will not³⁶⁹ be charmed,³⁹⁰⁸ and they shall bite⁵³⁹¹ you, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  When I would comfort⁴⁰¹⁰ myself against⁵⁹²¹ sorrow,³⁰¹⁵ my heart³⁸²⁰ is faint¹⁷⁴² in⁵⁹²¹ me.

19  Behold²⁰⁰⁹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the cry⁷⁷⁷⁵ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ because of them that dwell in a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country:^{4480 776} Is not³⁶⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Zion?⁶⁷²⁶ is not³⁶⁹ her king⁴⁴²⁸ in her? Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ have they provoked me to anger³⁷⁰⁷ with their graven images,⁶⁴⁵⁶ and with strange⁵²³⁶ vanities?¹⁸⁹²

20  The harvest⁷¹⁰⁵ is past,⁵⁶⁷⁴ the summer⁷⁰¹⁹ is ended,³⁶¹⁵ and we⁵⁸⁷ are not³⁸⁰⁸ saved.³⁴⁶⁷

21  For⁵⁹²¹ the hurt⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ am I hurt;⁷⁶⁶⁵ I am black;⁶⁹³⁷ astonishment⁸⁰⁴⁷ hath taken hold²³⁸⁸ on me.

22  Is there no³⁶⁹ balm⁶⁸⁷⁵ in Gilead;¹⁵⁶⁸ is there no³⁶⁹ physician⁷⁴⁹⁵ there?⁸⁰³³ why⁴⁰⁶⁹ then³⁵⁸⁸ is not³⁸⁰⁸ the health⁷²⁴ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ recovered?⁵⁹²⁷

Jeremiah 9

1  Oh that⁴³¹⁰ my head⁷²¹⁸ were⁵⁴¹⁴ waters,⁴³²⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ a fountain⁴⁷²⁶ of tears,¹⁸³² that I might weep¹⁰⁵⁸ day³¹¹⁹ and night³⁹¹⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ the slain²⁴⁹¹ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people!⁵⁹⁷¹

2  Oh that I had^{4310 5414} in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ a lodging place⁴⁴¹¹ of wayfaring men;⁷³² that I might leave^{5800 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and go¹⁹⁸⁰ from^{4480 854} them! for³⁵⁸⁸ they be all³⁶⁰⁵ adulterers,⁵⁰⁰³ an assembly⁶¹¹⁶ of treacherous men.⁸⁹⁸

3  And they bend^{1869 853} their tongues³⁹⁵⁶ like their bow⁷¹⁹⁸ for lies:⁸²⁶⁷ but they are not³⁸⁰⁸ valiant¹³⁹⁶ for the truth⁵³⁰ upon the earth;⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they proceed³³¹⁸ from evil^{4480 7451} to⁴¹³ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and they know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

4  Take ye heed⁸¹⁰⁴ every one³⁷⁶ of his neighbor,^{4480 7453} and trust⁹⁸² ye not⁴⁰⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ any³⁶⁰⁵ brother:²⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ brother²⁵¹ will utterly supplant,^{6117 6117} and every³⁶⁰⁵ neighbor⁷⁴⁵³ will walk¹⁹⁸⁰ with slanders.⁷⁴⁰⁰

5  And they will deceive²⁰⁴⁸ every one³⁷⁶ his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and will not³⁸⁰⁸ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ the truth:⁵⁷¹ they have taught³⁹²⁵ their tongue³⁹⁵⁶ to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ lies,⁸²⁶⁷ and weary themselves³⁸¹¹ to commit iniquity.⁵⁷⁵³

6  Thine habitation³⁴²⁷ is in the midst⁸⁴³² of deceit;⁴⁸²⁰ through deceit⁴⁸²⁰ they refuse³⁹⁸⁵ to know³⁰⁴⁵ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will melt⁶⁸⁸⁴ them, and try⁹⁷⁴ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ how³⁴⁹ shall I do⁶²¹³ for^{4480 6440} the daughter¹³²³ of my people?⁵⁹⁷¹

8  Their tongue³⁹⁵⁶ is as an arrow²⁶⁷¹ shot out;⁷⁸¹⁹ it speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ deceit:⁴⁸²⁰ one speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ peaceably⁷⁹⁶⁵ to⁸⁵⁴ his neighbor⁷⁴⁵³ with his mouth,⁶³¹⁰ but in heart⁷¹³⁰ he layeth⁷⁷⁶⁰ his wait.⁶⁹⁶

9  Shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ them for⁵⁹²¹ these⁴²⁸ things? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ on such⁸³⁴ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ as this?²⁰⁸⁸

10  For⁵⁹²¹ the mountains²⁰²² will I take up⁵³⁷⁵ a weeping¹⁰⁶⁵ and wailing,⁵⁰⁹² and for⁵⁹²¹ the habitations⁴⁹⁹⁹ of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ a lamentation,⁷⁰¹⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ they are burned up,³³⁴¹ so that none^{4480 1097 376} can pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ them; neither³⁸⁰⁸ can men hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the cattle;⁴⁷³⁵ both the fowl^{4480 5775} of the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the beast⁹²⁹ are fled;⁵⁰⁷⁴ they are gone.¹⁹⁸⁰

11  And I will make^{5414 853} Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ heaps,¹⁵³⁰ and a den⁴⁵⁸³ of dragons;⁸⁵⁷⁷ and I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ without^{4480 1097} an inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

12  Who⁴³¹⁰ is the wise²⁴⁵⁰ man,³⁷⁶ that may understand^{995 853} this?²⁰⁶³ and who is he to⁴¹³ whom the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken,¹⁶⁹⁶ that he may declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ it, for⁵⁹²¹ what⁴¹⁰⁰ the land⁷⁷⁶ perisheth⁶ and is burned up³³⁴¹ like a wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ that none^{4480 1097} passeth through?⁵⁶⁷⁴

13  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saith,⁵⁵⁹ Because⁵⁹²¹ they have forsaken^{5800 853} my law⁸⁴⁵¹ which⁸³⁴ I set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and have not³⁸⁰⁸ obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ neither³⁸⁰⁸ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ therein;

14  But have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of their own heart,³⁸²⁰ and after³¹⁰ Baalim,¹¹⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ their fathers¹ taught³⁹²⁵ them:

15  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will feed³⁹⁸ them, even ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ with wormwood,³⁹³⁹ and give them water⁴³²⁵ of gall⁷²¹⁹ to drink.⁸²⁴⁸

16  I will scatter⁶³²⁷ them also among the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ whom⁸³⁴ neither³⁸⁰⁸ they¹⁹⁹² nor their fathers¹ have known:³⁰⁴⁵ and I will send^{7971 853} a sword²⁷¹⁹ after³¹⁰ them, till⁵⁷⁰⁴ I have consumed³⁶¹⁵ them.

17  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Consider⁹⁹⁵ ye, and call⁷¹²¹ for the mourning women,⁶⁹⁶⁹ that they may come;⁹³⁵ and send⁷⁹⁷¹ for⁴¹³ cunning²⁴⁵⁰ women, that they may come:⁹³⁵

18  And let them make haste,⁴¹¹⁶ and take up⁵³⁷⁵ a wailing⁵⁰⁹² for⁵⁹²¹ us, that our eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may run down³³⁸¹ with tears,¹⁸³² and our eyelids⁶⁰⁷⁹ gush out⁵¹⁴⁰ with waters.⁴³²⁵

19  For³⁵⁸⁸ a voice⁶⁹⁶³ of wailing⁵⁰⁹² is heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ out of Zion,^{4480 6726} How³⁴⁹ are we spoiled!⁷⁷⁰³ we are greatly³⁹⁶⁶ confounded,⁹⁵⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ we have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ our dwellings⁴⁹⁰⁸ have cast us out.⁷⁹⁹³

20  Yet³⁵⁸⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ O ye women,⁸⁰² and let your ear²⁴¹ receive³⁹⁴⁷ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of his mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and teach³⁹²⁵ your daughters¹³²³ wailing,⁵⁰⁹² and every one⁸⁰² her neighbor⁷⁴⁶⁸ lamentation.⁷⁰¹⁵

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ death⁴¹⁹⁴ is come up⁵⁹²⁷ into our windows,²⁴⁷⁴ and is entered⁹³⁵ into our palaces,⁷⁵⁹ to cut off³⁷⁷² the children⁵⁷⁶⁸ from without,^{4480 2351} and the young men⁹⁷⁰ from the streets.^{4480 7339}

22  Speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Even the carcasses⁵⁰³⁸ of men¹²⁰ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ as dung¹⁸²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the open⁶⁴⁴⁰ field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and as the handful⁵⁹⁹⁵ after^{4480 310} the harvest man,⁷¹¹⁴ and none³⁶⁹ shall gather⁶²² them.

23  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Let not⁴⁰⁸ the wise²⁴⁵⁰ man glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ let the mighty¹³⁶⁸ man glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in his might,¹³⁶⁹ let not⁴⁰⁸ the rich⁶²²³ man glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in his riches:⁶²³⁹

24  But^{3588 518} let him that glorieth¹⁹⁸⁴ glory¹⁹⁸⁴ in this,²⁰⁶³ that he understandeth⁷⁹¹⁹ and knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ me, that³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ which exercise⁶²¹³ lovingkindness,²⁶¹⁷ judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁶ in the earth:⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ in these⁴²⁸ things I delight,²⁶⁵⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

25  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that I will punish^{6485 5921} all³⁶⁰⁵ them which are circumcised⁴¹³⁵ with the uncircumcised;⁶¹⁹⁰

26  Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and Edom,¹²³ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that are in the utmost⁷¹¹² corners,⁶²⁸⁵ that dwell³⁴²⁷ in the wilderness:⁴⁰⁵⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ these nations¹⁴⁷¹ are uncircumcised,⁶¹⁸⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ are uncircumcised⁶¹⁸⁹ in the heart.³⁸²⁰

1  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ you, O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸

2  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Learn³⁹²⁵ not⁴⁰⁸ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ and be not⁴⁰⁸ dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ at the signs^{4480 226} of heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ the heathen¹⁴⁷¹ are dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ at them.^{4480 1992}

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ the customs²⁷⁰⁸ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ are vain:¹⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ one cutteth³⁷⁷² a tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ out of the forest,^{4480 3293} the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the hands³⁰²⁷ of the workman,²⁷⁹⁶ with the axe.⁴⁶²¹

4  They deck³³⁰² it with silver³⁷⁰¹ and with gold;²⁰⁹¹ they fasten²³⁸⁸ it with nails⁴⁵⁴⁸ and with hammers,⁴⁷¹⁷ that it move⁶³²⁸ not.³⁸⁰⁸

5  They¹⁹⁹² are upright⁴⁷⁴⁹ as the palm tree,⁸⁵⁶⁰ but speak¹⁶⁹⁶ not:³⁸⁰⁸ they must needs be borne,^{5375 5375} because³⁵⁸⁸ they cannot³⁸⁰⁸ go.⁶⁸⁰⁵ Be not⁴⁰⁸ afraid³³⁷² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ they cannot³⁸⁰⁸ do evil,⁷⁴⁸⁹ neither³⁶⁹ also¹⁵⁷¹ is it in⁸⁵⁴ them to do good.³¹⁹⁰

6  Forasmuch as there is none^{4480 369} like unto thee,³⁶⁴⁴ O LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art great,¹⁴¹⁹ and thy name⁸⁰³⁴ is great¹⁴¹⁹ in might.¹³⁶⁹

7  Who⁴³¹⁰ would not³⁸⁰⁸ fear³³⁷² thee, O King⁴⁴²⁸ of nations?¹⁴⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ to thee doth it appertain:²⁹⁶⁹ forasmuch³⁵⁸⁸ as among all³⁶⁰⁵ the wise²⁴⁵⁰ men of the nations,¹⁴⁷¹ and in all³⁶⁰⁵ their kingdoms,⁴⁴³⁸ there is none^{4480 369} like unto thee.³⁶⁴⁴

8  But they are altogether²⁵⁹ brutish¹¹⁹⁷ and foolish:³⁶⁸⁸ the stock⁶⁰⁸⁶ is a doctrine⁴¹⁴⁸ of vanities.¹⁸⁹²

9  Silver³⁷⁰¹ spread into plates⁷⁵⁵⁴ is brought⁹³⁵ from Tarshish,^{4480 8659} and gold²⁰⁹¹ from Uphaz,^{4480 210} the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the workman,²⁷⁹⁶ and of the hands³⁰²⁷ of the founder:⁶⁸⁸⁴ blue⁸⁵⁰⁴ and purple⁷¹³ is their clothing:³⁸³⁰ they are all³⁶⁰⁵ the work⁴⁶³⁹ of cunning²⁴⁵⁰ men.

10  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is the true⁵⁷¹ God,⁴³⁰ he¹⁹³¹ is the living²⁴¹⁶ God,⁴³⁰ and an everlasting⁵⁷⁶⁹ king:⁴⁴²⁸ at his wrath^{4480 7110} the earth⁷⁷⁶ shall tremble,⁷⁴⁹³ and the nations¹⁴⁷¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be able to abide³⁵⁵⁷ his indignation.²¹⁹⁵

11  Thus¹⁸³⁶ shall ye say⁵⁶⁰ unto them, The gods⁴²⁶ that¹⁷⁶⁸ have not³⁸⁰⁹ made⁵⁶⁴⁸ the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁵ and the earth,⁷⁷⁸ even they shall perish⁷ from the earth,^{4481 772} and from⁴⁴⁸¹ under⁸⁴⁶⁰ these⁴²⁹ heavens.⁸⁰⁶⁵

12  He hath made⁶²¹³ the earth⁷⁷⁶ by his power,³⁵⁸¹ he hath established³⁵⁵⁹ the world⁸³⁹⁸ by his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ and hath stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ by his discretion.⁸³⁹⁴

13  When he uttereth⁵⁴¹⁴ his voice,⁶⁹⁶³ there is a multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ of waters⁴³²⁵ in the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and he causeth the vapors⁵³⁸⁷ to ascend⁵⁹²⁷ from the ends^{4480 7097} of the earth;⁷⁷⁶ he maketh⁶²¹³ lightnings¹³⁰⁰ with rain,⁴³⁰⁶ and bringeth forth³³¹⁸ the wind⁷³⁰⁷ out of his treasures.^{4480 214}

14  Every³⁶⁰⁵ man¹²⁰ is brutish¹¹⁹⁷ in his knowledge:^{4480 1847} every³⁶⁰⁵ founder⁶⁸⁸⁴ is confounded³⁰⁰¹ by the graven image:^{4480 6459} for³⁵⁸⁸ his molten image⁵²⁶² is falsehood,⁸²⁶⁷ and there is no³⁸⁰⁸ breath⁷³⁰⁷ in them.

15  They¹⁹⁹² are vanity,¹⁸⁹² and the work⁴⁶³⁹ of errors:⁸⁵⁹⁵ in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their visitation⁶⁴⁸⁶ they shall perish.⁶

16  The portion²⁵⁰⁶ of Jacob³²⁹⁰ is not³⁸⁰⁸ like them:⁴²⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ is the former³³³⁵ of all³⁶⁰⁵ things; and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ is the rod⁷⁶²⁶ of his inheritance:⁵¹⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ is his name.⁸⁰³⁴

17  Gather up⁶²² thy wares³⁶⁶⁶ out of the land,^{4480 776} O inhabitant³⁴²⁷ of the fortress.⁴⁶⁹³

18  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will sling out^{7049 853} the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ at this²⁰⁶³ once,⁶⁴⁷¹ and will distress⁶⁸⁸⁷ them, that⁴⁶¹⁶ they may find⁴⁶⁷² it so.

19  Woe¹⁸⁸ is me for⁵⁹²¹ my hurt!⁷⁶⁶⁷ my wound⁴³⁴⁷ is grievous:²⁴⁷⁰ but I⁵⁸⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Truly³⁸⁹ this²⁰⁸⁸ is a grief,²⁴⁸³ and I must bear⁵³⁷⁵ it.

20  My tabernacle¹⁶⁸ is spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ my cords⁴³⁴⁰ are broken:⁵⁴²³ my children¹¹²¹ are gone forth³³¹⁸ of me, and they are not:³⁶⁹ there is none³⁶⁹ to stretch forth⁵¹⁸⁶ my tent¹⁶⁸ any more,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and to set up⁶⁹⁶⁵ my curtains.³⁴⁰⁷

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ the pastors⁷⁴⁶² are become brutish,¹¹⁹⁷ and have not³⁸⁰⁸ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ therefore^{5921 3651} they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper,⁷⁹¹⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ their flocks⁴⁸³⁰ shall be scattered.⁶³²⁷

22  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the bruit⁸⁰⁵² is come,⁹³⁵ and a great¹⁴¹⁹ commotion⁷⁴⁹⁴ out of the north country,^{4480 776 6828} to make^{7760 853} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ and a den⁴⁵⁸³ of dragons.⁸⁵⁷⁷

23  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of man¹²⁰ is not³⁸⁰⁸ in himself: it is not³⁸⁰⁸ in man³⁷⁶ that walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ to direct^{3559 853} his steps.⁶⁸⁰⁶

24  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ correct³²⁵⁶ me, but with³⁸⁹ judgment;⁴⁹⁴¹ not⁴⁰⁸ in thine anger,⁶³⁹ lest⁶⁴³⁵ thou bring me to nothing.⁴⁵⁹¹

25  Pour out⁸²¹⁰ thy fury²⁵³⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ the heathen¹⁴⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ know³⁰⁴⁵ thee not,³⁸⁰⁸ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ that⁸³⁴ call⁷¹²¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ on thy name:⁸⁰³⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ they have eaten up^{398 853} Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and devoured³⁹⁸ him, and consumed³⁶¹⁵ him, and have made his habitation⁵¹¹⁶ desolate.⁸⁰⁷⁴

Jeremiah 11

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the men³⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and to⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹

3  And say⁵⁵⁹ thou unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Cursed⁷⁷⁹ be the man³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ obeyeth⁸⁰⁸⁵ not^{3808 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ covenant,¹²⁸⁵

4  Which⁸³⁴ I commanded^{6680 853} your fathers¹ in the day³¹¹⁷ that I brought them forth^{3318 853} out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ from the iron¹²⁷⁰ furnace,^{4480 3564} saying,⁵⁵⁹ Obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and do⁶²¹³ them, according to all³⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ I command⁶⁶⁸⁰ you: so shall ye be¹⁹⁶¹ my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and I⁵⁹⁵ will be¹⁹⁶¹ your God:⁴³⁰

5  That⁴⁶¹⁶ I may perform^{6965 853} the oath⁷⁶²¹ which⁸³⁴ I have sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto your fathers,¹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them a land⁷⁷⁶ flowing²¹⁰⁰ with milk²⁴⁶¹ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ as it is this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷ Then answered⁶⁰³⁰ I, and said,⁵⁵⁹ So be it,⁵⁴³ O LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  Then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Proclaim^{7121 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and in the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ and do⁶²¹³ them.

7  For³⁵⁸⁸ I earnestly protested^{5749 5749} unto your fathers¹ in the day³¹¹⁷ that I brought them up^{5927 853} out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day,³¹¹⁷ rising early⁷⁹²⁵ and protesting,⁵⁷⁴⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice.⁶⁹⁶³

8  Yet they obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ inclined^{5186 853} their ear,²⁴¹ but walked¹⁹⁸⁰ every one³⁷⁶ in the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of their evil⁷⁴⁵¹ heart:³⁸²⁰ therefore I will bring⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ them ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ which⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them to do;⁶²¹³ but they did⁶²¹³ them not.³⁸⁰⁸

9  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, A conspiracy⁷¹⁹⁵ is found⁴⁶⁷² among the men³⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and among the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

10  They are turned back⁷⁷²⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ the iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ of their forefathers,^{7223 1} which⁸³⁴ refused³⁹⁸⁵ to hear^{8085 853} my words;¹⁶⁹⁷ and they¹⁹⁹² went¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ other³¹² gods⁴³⁰ to serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ them: the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ have broken^{6565 853} my covenant¹²⁸⁵ which⁸³⁴ I made³⁷⁷² with⁸⁵⁴ their fathers.¹

11  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ them, which⁸³⁴ they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be able³²⁰¹ to escape;^{3318 4480} and though they shall cry²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, I will not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ them.

12  Then shall the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ and inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ and cry²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the gods⁴³⁰ unto whom⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² offer incense:⁶⁹⁹⁹ but they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ save them at all^{3467 3467} in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their trouble.⁷⁴⁵¹

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of thy cities⁵⁸⁹² were¹⁹⁶¹ thy gods,⁴³⁰ O Judah;³⁰⁶³ and according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ have ye set up⁷⁷⁶⁰ altars⁴¹⁹⁶ to that shameful thing,¹³²² even altars⁴¹⁹⁶ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto Baal.¹¹⁶⁸

14  Therefore pray⁶⁴¹⁹ not⁴⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ for¹¹⁵⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ lift up⁵³⁷⁵ a cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ or prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ for¹¹⁵⁷ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ will not³⁶⁹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ them in the time⁶²⁵⁶ that they cry⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ me for¹¹⁵⁷ their trouble.⁷⁴⁵¹

15  What⁴¹⁰⁰ hath my beloved³⁰³⁹ to do in mine house,¹⁰⁰⁴ seeing she hath wrought⁶²¹³ lewdness⁴²⁰⁹ with many,⁷²²⁷ and the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ flesh¹³²⁰ is passed⁵⁶⁷⁴ from^{4480 5921} thee? when³⁵⁸⁸ thou doest evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ then²²⁷ thou rejoicest.⁵⁹³⁷

16  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ called⁷¹²¹ thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ A green⁷⁴⁸⁸ olive tree,²¹³² fair,³³⁰³ and of goodly⁸³⁸⁹ fruit:⁶⁵²⁹ with the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of a great¹⁴¹⁹ tumult¹⁹⁹⁹ he hath kindled³³⁴¹ fire⁷⁸⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ it, and the branches¹⁸⁰⁸ of it are broken.⁷⁴⁸⁹

17  For the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ that planted⁵¹⁹³ thee, hath pronounced¹⁶⁹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ thee, for¹⁵⁸⁸ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ which⁸³⁴ they have done⁶²¹³ against themselves to provoke me to anger³⁷⁰⁷ in offering incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto Baal.¹¹⁶⁸

18  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath given me knowledge³⁰⁴⁵ of it, and I know³⁰⁴⁵ it: then²²⁷ thou showedst⁷²⁰⁰ me their doings.⁴⁶¹¹

19  But I⁵⁸⁹ was like a lamb³⁵³² or an ox⁴⁴¹ that is brought²⁹⁸⁶ to the slaughter;²⁸⁷³ and I knew³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ they had devised²⁸⁰³ devices⁴²⁸⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ me, saying, Let us destroy⁷⁸⁴³ the tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ with the fruit³⁸⁹⁹ thereof, and let us cut him off³⁷⁷² from the land^{4480 776} of the living,²⁴¹⁶ that his name⁸⁰³⁴ may be no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ remembered.²¹⁴²

20  But, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ that judgest⁸¹⁹⁹ righteously,⁶⁶⁶⁴ that triest⁹⁷⁴ the reins³⁶²⁹ and the heart,³⁸²⁰ let me see⁷²⁰⁰ thy vengeance⁵³⁶⁰ on⁴⁴⁸⁰ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee have I revealed^{1540 853} my cause.⁷³⁷⁹

21  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of⁵⁹²¹ the men³⁷⁶ of Anathoth,⁶⁰⁶⁸ that seek^{1245 853} thy life,⁵³¹⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Prophesy⁵⁰¹² not³⁸⁰⁸ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that thou die⁴¹⁹¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ by our hand:³⁰²⁷

22  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will punish^{6485 5921} them: the young men⁹⁷⁰ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ by the sword;²⁷¹⁹ their sons¹¹²¹ and their daughters¹³²³ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ by famine:⁷⁴⁵⁸

23  And there shall be¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of them: for³⁵⁸⁸ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ the men³⁷⁶ of Anathoth,⁶⁰⁶⁸ even the year⁸¹⁴¹ of their visitation.⁶⁴⁸⁶

1  Righteous⁶⁶⁶² art thou,⁸⁵⁹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ I plead⁷³⁷⁸ with⁴¹³ thee: yet³⁸⁹ let me talk¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ thee of thy judgments:⁴⁹⁴¹ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ doth the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ prosper?⁶⁷⁴³ wherefore are all³⁶⁰⁵ they happy⁷⁹⁵¹ that deal very treacherously?^{898 899}

2  Thou hast planted⁵¹⁹³ them, yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they have taken root:⁸³²⁷ they grow,¹⁹⁸⁰ yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they bring forth⁶²¹³ fruit:⁶⁵²⁹ thou⁸⁵⁹ art near⁷¹³⁸ in their mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and far⁷³⁵⁰ from their reins.^{4480 3629}

3  But thou,⁸⁵⁹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ knowest³⁰⁴⁵ me: thou hast seen⁷²⁰⁰ me, and tried⁹⁷⁴ mine heart³⁸²⁰ toward⁸⁵⁴ thee: pull them out⁵⁴²³ like sheep⁶⁶²⁹ for the slaughter,²⁸⁷⁸ and prepare⁶⁹⁴² them for the day³¹¹⁷ of slaughter.²⁰²⁸

4  How long^{5704 4970} shall the land⁷⁷⁶ mourn,⁵⁶ and the herbs⁶²¹² of every³⁶⁰⁵ field⁷⁷⁰⁴ wither,³⁰⁰¹ for the wickedness^{4480 7451} of them that dwell³⁴²⁷ therein? the beasts⁹²⁹ are consumed,⁵⁵⁹⁵ and the birds;⁵⁷⁷⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ they said,⁵⁵⁹ He shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see^{7200 853} our last end.³¹⁹

5  If³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast run⁷³²³ with⁸⁵⁴ the footmen,⁷²⁷³ and they have wearied³⁸¹¹ thee, then how³⁴⁹ canst thou contend⁸⁴⁷⁴ with⁸⁵⁴ horses?⁵⁴⁸³ and if in the land⁷⁷⁶ of peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ wherein thou⁸⁵⁹ trustedst,⁹⁸² they wearied thee, then how³⁴⁹ wilt thou do⁶²¹³ in the swelling¹³⁴⁷ of Jordan?³³⁸³

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ thy brethren,²⁵¹ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of thy father,¹ even¹⁵⁷¹ they¹⁹⁹² have dealt treacherously⁸⁹⁸ with thee; yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they¹⁹⁹² have called⁷¹²¹ a multitude⁴³⁹² after³¹⁰ thee: believe⁵³⁹ them not,⁴⁰⁸ though³⁵⁸⁸ they speak¹⁶⁹⁶ fair words²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee.

7  I have forsaken^{5800 853} mine house,¹⁰⁰⁴ I have left^{5203 853} mine heritage;⁵¹⁵⁹ I have given^{5414 853} the dearly beloved³⁰³⁹ of my soul⁵³¹⁵ into the hand³⁷⁰⁹ of her enemies.³⁴¹

8  Mine heritage⁵¹⁵⁹ is¹⁹⁶¹ unto me as a lion⁷³⁸ in the forest;³²⁹³ it crieth out^{5414 6963} against⁵⁹²¹ me: therefore^{5921 3651} have I hated⁸¹³⁰ it.

9  Mine heritage⁵¹⁵⁹ is unto me as a speckled⁶⁶⁴¹ bird,⁵⁸⁶¹ the birds⁵⁸⁶¹ round about⁵⁴³⁹ are against⁵⁹²¹ her; come¹⁹⁸⁰ ye, assemble⁶²² all³⁶⁰⁵ the beasts²⁴¹⁶ of the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ come⁸⁵⁷ to devour.⁴⁰²

10  Many⁷²²⁷ pastors⁷⁴⁶² have destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ my vineyard,³⁷⁵⁴ they have trodden my portion under foot,^{947 853 2513} they have made^{5414 853} my pleasant²⁵³² portion²⁵¹³ a desolate⁸⁰⁷⁷ wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

11  They have made⁷⁷⁶⁰ it desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ and being desolate⁸⁰⁷⁶ it mourneth⁵⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ me; the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ is made⁶²¹³ desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ no³⁶⁹ man³⁷⁶ layeth⁷⁷⁶⁰ it to⁵⁹²¹ heart.³⁸²⁰

12  The spoilers⁷⁷⁰³ are come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ high places⁸²⁰⁵ through the wilderness:⁴⁰⁵⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall devour³⁹⁸ from the one end^{4480 7097} of the land⁷⁷⁶ even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the other end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the land:⁷⁷⁶ no^{369 3605} flesh¹³²⁰ shall have peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

13  They have sown²²³² wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ but shall reap⁷¹¹⁴ thorns:⁶⁹⁷⁵ they have put themselves to pain,²⁴⁷⁰ but shall not³⁸⁰⁸ profit:³²⁷⁶ and they shall be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ of your revenues^{4480 8393} because of the fierce^{4480 2740} anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

14  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ mine evil⁷⁴⁵¹ neighbors,⁷⁹³⁴ that touch⁵⁰⁶⁰ the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ which⁸³⁴ I have caused ⁸⁵³ my people^{5971 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to inherit;⁵¹⁵⁷ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will pluck them out⁵⁴²⁸ of^{4480 5921} their land,¹²⁷ and pluck out⁵⁴²⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ from among^{4480 8432} them.

15  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after that³¹⁰ I have plucked them out^{5428 853} I will return,⁷⁷²⁵ and have compassion⁷³⁵⁵ on them, and will bring them again,⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his heritage,⁵¹⁵⁹ and every man³⁷⁶ to his land.⁷⁷⁶

16  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ if⁵¹⁸ they will diligently learn^{3925 3925 853} the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ to swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by my name,⁸⁰³⁴ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth;²⁴¹⁶ as⁸³⁴ they taught^{3925 853} my people⁵⁹⁷¹ to swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by Baal;¹¹⁶⁸ then shall they be built¹¹²⁹ in the midst⁸⁴³² of my people.⁵⁹⁷¹

17  But if⁵¹⁸ they will not³⁸⁰⁸ obey,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I will utterly pluck up^{5428 5428} and destroy^{6 853} that¹⁹³¹ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

1  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ me, Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and get⁷⁰⁶⁹ thee a linen⁶⁵⁹³ girdle,²³² and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ it upon⁵⁹²¹ thy loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and put⁹³⁵ it not³⁸⁰⁸ in water.⁴³²⁵

2  So I got^{7069 853} a girdle²³² according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ it on⁵⁹²¹ my loins.⁴⁹⁷⁵

3  And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me the second time,⁸¹⁴⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  Take^{3947 853} the girdle²³² that⁸³⁴ thou hast got,⁷⁰⁶⁹ which⁸³⁴ is upon⁵⁹²¹ thy loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ go¹⁹⁸⁰ to Euphrates,⁶⁵⁷⁸ and hide²⁹³⁴ it there⁸⁰³³ in a hole⁵³⁵⁷ of the rock.⁵⁵⁵³

5  So I went,¹⁹⁸⁰ and hid²⁹³⁴ it by Euphrates,⁶⁵⁷⁸ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ me.

6  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after^{4480 7093} many⁷²²⁷ days,³¹¹⁷ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ go¹⁹⁸⁰ to Euphrates,⁶⁵⁷⁸ and take^{3947 853} the girdle²³² from thence,^{4480 8033} which⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee to hide²⁹³⁴ there.⁸⁰³³

7  Then I went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Euphrates,⁶⁵⁷⁸ and digged,²⁶⁵⁸ and took^{3947 853} the girdle²³² from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the place⁴⁷²⁵ where^{834 8033} I had hid²⁹³⁴ it: and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the girdle²³² was marred,⁷⁸⁴³ it was profitable⁶⁷⁴³ for nothing.^{3808 3605}

8  Then the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

9  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ After this manner³⁶⁰² will I mar⁷⁸⁴³ the pride¹³⁴⁷ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the great⁷²²⁷ pride¹³⁴⁷ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

10  This²⁰⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which refuse³⁹⁸⁷ to hear^{8085 853} my words,¹⁶⁹⁷ which walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of their heart,³⁸²⁰ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ to serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ them, and to worship⁷⁸¹² them, shall even be¹⁹⁶¹ as this²⁰⁸⁸ girdle,²³² which⁸³⁴ is good⁶⁷⁴³ for nothing.^{3808 3605}

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ as⁸³⁴ the girdle²³² cleaveth¹⁶⁹² to⁴¹³ the loins⁴⁹⁷⁵ of a man,³⁷⁶ so³⁶⁵¹ have I caused to cleave¹⁶⁹² unto⁴¹³ me ⁸⁵³ the whole³⁶⁰⁵ house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the whole³⁶⁰⁵ house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ that they might be¹⁹⁶¹ unto me for a people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and for a name,⁸⁰³⁴ and for a praise,⁸⁴¹⁶ and for a glory:⁸⁵⁹⁷ but they would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear.⁸⁰⁸⁵

12  Therefore thou shalt speak⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ word;¹⁶⁹⁷ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Every³⁶⁰⁵ bottle⁵⁰³⁵ shall be filled⁴³⁹⁰ with wine:³¹⁹⁶ and they shall say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee, Do we not³⁸⁰⁸ certainly know^{3045 3045} that³⁵⁸⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ bottle⁵⁰³⁵ shall be filled⁴³⁹⁰ with wine?³¹⁹⁶

13  Then shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will fill^{4390 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ land,⁷⁷⁶ even the kings⁴⁴²⁸ that sit³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ David's¹⁷³² throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ with drunkenness.⁷⁹⁴³

14  And I will dash⁵³¹⁰ them one³⁷⁶ against⁴¹³ another,²⁵¹ even the fathers¹ and the sons¹¹²¹ together,³¹⁶² saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ pity,²⁵⁵⁰ nor³⁸⁰⁸ spare,²³⁴⁷ nor³⁸⁰⁸ have mercy,⁷³⁵⁵ but destroy^{4480 7843} them.

15  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye, and give ear;²³⁸ be not⁴⁰⁸ proud:¹³⁶¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken.¹⁶⁹⁶

16  Give⁵⁴¹⁴ glory³⁵¹⁹ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ before²⁹⁶² he cause darkness,²⁸²¹ and before²⁹⁶² your feet⁷²⁷² stumble⁵⁰⁶² upon⁵⁹²¹ the dark⁵³⁹⁹ mountains,²⁰²² and, while ye look⁶⁹⁶⁰ for light,²¹⁶ he turn⁷⁷⁶⁰ it into the shadow of death,⁶⁷⁵⁷ and make⁷⁸⁹⁶ it gross darkness.⁶²⁰⁵

17  But if⁵¹⁸ ye will not³⁸⁰⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, my soul⁵³¹⁵ shall weep¹⁰⁵⁸ in secret places⁴⁵⁶⁵ for^{4480 6440} your pride;¹⁴⁶⁶ and mine eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall weep sore,^{1830 1830} and run down³³⁸¹ with tears,¹⁸³² because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ flock⁵⁷³⁹ is carried away captive.⁷⁶¹⁷

18  Say⁵⁵⁹ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ and to the queen,¹³⁷⁷ Humble yourselves,⁸²¹³ sit down:³⁴²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ your principalities⁴⁷⁶¹ shall come down,³³⁸¹ even the crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ of your glory.⁸⁵⁹⁷

19  The cities⁵⁸⁹² of the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ shall be shut up,⁵⁴⁶² and none³⁶⁹ shall open⁶⁶⁰⁵ them: Judah³⁰⁶³ shall be carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ of it, it shall be wholly⁷⁹⁶⁵ carried away captive.¹⁵⁴⁰

20  Lift up⁵³⁷⁵ your eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and behold⁷²⁰⁰ them that come⁹³⁵ from the north:^{4480 6828} where³⁴⁶ is the flock⁵⁷³⁹ that was given⁵⁴¹⁴ thee, thy beautiful⁸⁵⁹⁷ flock?⁶⁶²⁹

21  What⁴¹⁰⁰ wilt thou say⁵⁵⁹ when³⁵⁸⁸ he shall punish^{6485 5921} thee? for thou⁸⁵⁹ hast taught³⁹²⁵ them to be captains,⁴⁴¹ and as chief⁷²¹⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ thee: shall not³⁸⁰⁸ sorrows²²⁵⁶ take²⁷⁰ thee, as³⁶⁴⁴ a woman⁸⁰² in travail?³²⁰⁵

22  And if³⁵⁸⁸ thou say⁵⁵⁹ in thine heart,³⁸²⁴ Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ come⁷¹²² these things⁴²⁸ upon me? For the greatness⁷²³⁰ of thine iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ are thy skirts⁷⁷⁵⁷ discovered,¹⁵⁴⁰ and thy heels⁶¹¹⁹ made bare.²⁵⁵⁴

23  Can the Ethiopian³⁵⁶⁹ change²⁰¹⁵ his skin,⁵⁷⁸⁵ or the leopard⁵²⁴⁶ his spots?²²⁷² then may³²⁰¹ ye⁸⁵⁹ also¹⁵⁷¹ do good,³¹⁹⁰ that are accustomed³⁹²⁸ to do evil.⁷⁴⁸⁹

24  Therefore will I scatter⁶³²⁷ them as the stubble⁷¹⁷⁹ that passeth away⁵⁶⁷⁴ by the wind⁷³⁰⁷ of the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

25  This²⁰⁸⁸ is thy lot,¹⁴⁸⁶ the portion⁴⁴⁹⁰ of thy measures⁴⁰⁵⁵ from^{4480 854} me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ because⁸³⁴ thou hast forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ me, and trusted⁹⁸² in falsehood.⁸²⁶⁷

26  Therefore¹⁵⁷¹ will I⁵⁸⁹ discover²⁸³⁴ thy skirts⁷⁷⁵⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ that thy shame⁷⁰³⁶ may appear.⁷²⁰⁰

27  I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ thine adulteries,⁵⁰⁰⁴ and thy neighings,⁴⁶⁸⁴ the lewdness²¹⁵⁴ of thy whoredom,²¹⁸⁴ and thine abominations⁸²⁵¹ on⁵⁹²¹ the hills¹³⁸⁹ in the fields.⁷⁷⁰⁴ Woe¹⁸⁸ unto thee, O Jerusalem!³³⁸⁹ wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ be made clean?²⁸⁹¹ when³¹⁰ shall it once⁵⁷⁵⁰ be?

Jeremiah 14

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ concerning^{5921 1697} the dearth.¹²²⁶

2  Judah³⁰⁶³ mourneth,⁵⁶ and the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ thereof languish;⁵³⁵ they are black⁶⁹³⁷ unto the ground;⁷⁷⁶ and the cry⁶⁶⁸² of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ is gone up.⁵⁹²⁷

3  And their nobles¹¹⁷ have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ their little ones⁶⁸¹⁰ to the waters:⁴³²⁵ they came⁹³⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ the pits,¹³⁵⁶ and found⁴⁶⁷² no³⁸⁰⁸ water;⁴³²⁵ they returned⁷⁷²⁵ with their vessels³⁶²⁷ empty;⁷³⁸⁷ they were ashamed⁹⁵⁴ and confounded,³⁶³⁷ and covered²⁶⁴⁵ their heads.⁷²¹⁸

4  Because⁵⁶⁶⁸ the ground¹²⁷ is chapped,²⁸⁶⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain¹⁶⁵³ in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ the plowmen⁴⁰⁶ were ashamed,⁹⁵⁴ they covered²⁶⁴⁵ their heads.⁷²¹⁸

5  Yea,¹⁵⁷¹ the hind³⁶⁵ also calved³²⁰⁵ in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ it, because³⁵⁸⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ grass.¹⁸⁷⁷

6  And the wild asses⁶⁵⁰¹ did stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ the high places,⁸²⁰⁵ they snuffed up⁷⁶⁰² the wind⁷³⁰⁷ like dragons;⁸⁵⁷⁷ their eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ did fail,³⁶¹⁵ because³⁵⁸⁸ there was no³⁶⁹ grass.⁶²¹²

7  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ though⁵¹⁸ our iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ testify⁶⁰³⁰ against us, do⁶²¹³ thou it for thy name's sake:^{4616 8034} for³⁵⁸⁸ our backslidings⁴⁸⁷⁸ are many;⁷²³¹ we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

8  O the hope⁴⁷²³ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the savior³⁴⁶⁷ thereof in time⁶²⁵⁶ of trouble,⁶⁸⁶⁹ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou be¹⁹⁶¹ as a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ and as a wayfaring man⁷³² that turneth aside⁵¹⁸⁶ to tarry³⁸⁸⁵ for a night?

9  Why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou be¹⁹⁶¹ as a man³⁷⁶ astonished,¹⁷²⁴ as a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ that cannot^{3201 3808} save?³⁴⁶⁷ yet thou,⁸⁵⁹ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ art in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of us, and we are called⁷¹²¹ by thy name;⁸⁰³⁴ leave⁵¹¹⁷ us not.⁴⁰⁸

10  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Thus³⁶⁵¹ have they loved¹⁵⁷ to wander,⁵¹²⁸ they have not³⁸⁰⁸ refrained²⁸²⁰ their feet,⁷²⁷² therefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ doth not³⁸⁰⁸ accept⁷⁵²¹ them; he will now⁶²⁵⁸ remember²¹⁴² their iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ and visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ their sins.²⁴⁰³

11  Then said⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ me, Pray⁶⁴¹⁹ not⁴⁰⁸ for¹¹⁵⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ for their good.²⁸⁹⁶

12  When³⁵⁸⁸ they fast,⁶⁶⁸⁴ I will not³⁶⁹ hear^{8085 413} their cry;⁷⁴⁴⁰ and when³⁵⁸⁸ they offer⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and an oblation,⁴⁵⁰³ I will not³⁶⁹ accept⁷⁵²¹ them: but³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ will consume³⁶¹⁵ them by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and by the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and by the pestilence.¹⁶⁹⁸

13  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, Ah,¹⁶² Lord¹³⁶ GOD!³⁰⁶⁹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ the sword,²⁷¹⁹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall ye have¹⁹⁶¹ famine;⁷⁴⁵⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ you assured⁵⁷¹ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

14  Then the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, The prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesy⁵⁰¹² lies⁸²⁶⁷ in my name:⁸⁰³⁴ I sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ have I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them, neither³⁸⁰⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ them: they¹⁹⁹² prophesy⁵⁰¹² unto you a false⁸²⁶⁷ vision²³⁷⁷ and divination,⁷⁰⁸¹ and a thing of naught,⁴³⁴ and the deceit⁸⁶⁴⁹ of their heart.³⁸²⁰

15  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ that prophesy⁵⁰¹² in my name,⁸⁰³⁴ and I⁵⁸⁹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them not,³⁸⁰⁸ yet they¹⁹⁹² say,⁵⁵⁹ Sword²⁷¹⁹ and famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ in this²⁰⁶³ land;⁷⁷⁶ By sword²⁷¹⁹ and famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ shall those¹⁹⁹² prophets⁵⁰³⁰ be consumed.⁸⁵⁵²

16  And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ to whom⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² prophesy⁵⁰¹² shall be¹⁹⁶¹ cast out⁷⁹⁹³ in the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ because^{4480 6440} of the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ and the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and they shall have none³⁶⁹ to bury⁶⁹¹² them,¹⁹⁹² them,¹⁹⁹² their wives,⁸⁰² nor their sons,¹¹²¹ nor their daughters:¹³²³ for I will pour^{8210 853} their wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

17  Therefore thou shalt say^{559 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ them; Let mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ run down³³⁸¹ with tears¹⁸³² night³⁹¹⁵ and day,³¹¹⁹ and let them not⁴⁰⁸ cease:¹⁸²⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the virgin¹³³⁰ daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ is broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ breach,⁷⁶⁶⁷ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ grievous²⁴⁷⁰ blow.⁴³⁴⁷

18  If⁵¹⁸ I go forth³³¹⁸ into the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ then behold²⁰⁰⁹ the slain²⁴⁹¹ with the sword!²⁷¹⁹ and if⁵¹⁸ I enter⁹³⁵ into the city,⁵⁸⁹² then behold²⁰⁰⁹ them that are sick⁸⁴⁶³ with famine!⁷⁴⁵⁸ yea,³⁵⁸⁸ both¹⁵⁷¹ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ and¹⁵⁷¹ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ go about⁵⁵⁰³ into⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ that they know³⁰⁴⁵ not.³⁸⁰⁸

19  Hast thou utterly rejected^{3988 3988 853} Judah?³⁰⁶³ hath thy soul⁵³¹⁵ loathed¹⁶⁰² Zion?⁶⁷²⁶ why⁴⁰⁶⁹ hast thou smitten⁵²²¹ us, and there is no³⁶⁹ healing⁴⁸³² for us? we looked⁶⁹⁶⁰ for peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and there is no³⁶⁹ good;²⁸⁹⁶ and for the time⁶²⁵⁶ of healing,⁴⁸³² and behold²⁰⁰⁹ trouble!¹²⁰⁵

20  We acknowledge,³⁰⁴⁵ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ our wickedness,⁷⁵⁶² and the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of our fathers:¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

21  Do not⁴⁰⁸ abhor⁵⁰⁰⁶ us, for thy name's sake,^{4616 8034} do not⁴⁰⁸ disgrace⁵⁰³⁴ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of thy glory:³⁵¹⁹ remember,²¹⁴² break⁶⁵⁶⁵ not⁴⁰⁸ thy covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ us.

22  Are there³⁴²⁶ any among the vanities¹⁸⁹² of the Gentiles¹⁴⁷¹ that can cause rain?¹⁶⁵² or⁵¹⁸ can the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ showers?⁷²⁴¹ art not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ he,¹⁹³¹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God?⁴³⁰ therefore we will wait⁶⁹⁶⁰ upon thee: for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast made^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things.

Jeremiah 15

1  Then said⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ me, Though⁵¹⁸ Moses⁴⁸⁷² and Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, yet my mind⁵³¹⁵ could not³⁶⁹ be toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people:⁵⁹⁷¹ cast⁷⁹⁷¹ them out of^{4480 5921} my sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and let them go forth.³³¹⁸

2  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ if³⁵⁸⁸ they say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee, Whither⁵⁷⁵ shall we go forth?³³¹⁸ then thou shalt tell^{559 413} them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Such as⁸³⁴ are for death,⁴¹⁹⁴ to death;⁴¹⁹⁴ and such as⁸³⁴ are for the sword,²⁷¹⁹ to the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and such as⁸³⁴ are for the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ to the famine;⁷⁴⁵⁸ and such as⁸³⁴ are for the captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ to the captivity.⁷⁶²⁸

3  And I will appoint⁶⁴⁸⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ them four⁷⁰² kinds,⁴⁹⁴⁰ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:^{3068 853} the sword²⁷¹⁹ to slay,²⁰²⁶ and the dogs³⁶¹¹ to tear,⁵⁴⁹⁸ and the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the beasts⁹²⁹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ to devour³⁹⁸ and destroy.⁷⁸⁴³

4  And I will cause⁵⁴¹⁴ them to be removed²¹⁸⁹ into all³⁶⁰⁵ kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ because of¹⁵⁵⁸ Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ for⁵⁹²¹ that which⁸³⁴ he did⁶²¹³ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

5  For³⁵⁸⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ shall have pity²⁵⁵⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee, O Jerusalem?³³⁸⁹ or who⁴³¹⁰ shall bemoan⁵¹¹⁰ thee? or who⁴³¹⁰ shall go aside⁵⁴⁹³ to ask⁷⁵⁹² how thou doest?⁷⁹⁶⁵

6  Thou⁸⁵⁹ hast forsaken⁵²⁰³ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou art gone¹⁹⁸⁰ backward:²⁶⁸ therefore will I stretch out^{5186 853} my hand³⁰²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ thee, and destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thee; I am weary³⁸¹¹ with repenting.⁵¹⁶²

7  And I will fan²²¹⁹ them with a fan⁴²¹⁴ in the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the land;⁷⁷⁶ I will bereave⁷⁹²¹ them of children, I will destroy^{6 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ since they return⁷⁷²⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ from their ways.^{4480 1870}

8  Their widows⁴⁹⁰ are increased⁶¹⁰⁵ to me above the sand^{4480 2344} of the seas:³²²⁰ I have brought⁹³⁵ upon them against⁵⁹²¹ the mother⁵¹⁷ of the young men⁹⁷⁰ a spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ at noonday:⁶⁶⁷² I have caused him to fall⁵³⁰⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ it suddenly,⁶⁵⁹⁷ and terrors⁹²⁸ upon the city.⁵⁸⁹²

9  She that hath borne³²⁰⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ languisheth:⁵³⁵ she hath given up⁵³⁰¹ the ghost;⁵³¹⁵ her sun⁸¹²¹ is gone down⁹³⁵ while⁵⁷⁵⁰ it was yet day:³¹¹⁹ she hath been ashamed⁹⁵⁴ and confounded:²⁶⁵⁹ and the residue⁷⁶¹¹ of them will I deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ to the sword²⁷¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

10  Woe¹⁸⁸ is me, my mother,⁵¹⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast borne³²⁰⁵ me a man³⁷⁶ of strife⁷³⁷⁹ and a man³⁷⁶ of contention⁴⁰⁶⁶ to the whole³⁶⁰⁵ earth!⁷⁷⁶ I have neither³⁸⁰⁸ lent on usury,⁵³⁸³ nor³⁸⁰⁸ men have lent to me on usury;⁵³⁸³ yet every one³⁶⁰⁵ of them doth curse⁷⁰⁴³ me.

11  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Verily^{518 3808} it shall be well²⁸⁹⁶ with thy remnant;⁷⁶¹¹ verily^{518 3808} I will cause ⁸⁵³ the enemy³⁴¹ to entreat⁶²⁹³ thee well in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of evil⁷⁴⁵¹ and in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of affliction.⁶⁸⁶⁹

12  Shall iron¹²⁷⁰ break⁷⁴⁸⁹ the northern^{4480 6828} iron¹²⁷⁰ and the steel?⁵¹⁷⁸

13  Thy substance²⁴²⁸ and thy treasures²¹⁴ will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ to the spoil⁹⁵⁷ without³⁸⁰⁸ price,⁴²⁴² and that for all³⁶⁰⁵ thy sins,²⁴⁰³ even in all³⁶⁰⁵ thy borders.¹³⁶⁶

14  And I will make thee to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ with⁸⁵⁴ thine enemies³⁴¹ into a land⁷⁷⁶ which thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not:³⁸⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ a fire⁷⁸⁴ is kindled⁶⁹¹⁹ in mine anger,⁶³⁹ which shall burn³³⁴⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ you.

15  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ knowest:³⁰⁴⁵ remember²¹⁴² me, and visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ me, and revenge⁵³⁵⁸ me of my persecutors;^{4480 7291} take³⁹⁴⁷ me not⁴⁰⁸ away in thy longsuffering:^{750 639} know³⁰⁴⁵ that for⁵⁹²¹ thy sake I have suffered⁵³⁷⁵ rebuke.²⁷⁸¹

16  Thy words¹⁶⁹⁷ were found,⁴⁶⁷² and I did eat³⁹⁸ them; and thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ was¹⁹⁶¹ unto me the joy⁸³⁴² and rejoicing⁸⁰⁵⁷ of mine heart:³⁸²⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ I am called⁷¹²¹ by⁵⁹²¹ thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

17  I sat³⁴²⁷ not³⁸⁰⁸ in the assembly⁵⁴⁷⁵ of the mockers,⁷⁸³² nor rejoiced;⁵⁹³⁷ I sat³⁴²⁷ alone⁹¹⁰ because^{4480 6440} of thy hand:³⁰²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast filled⁴³⁹⁰ me with indignation.²¹⁹⁵

18  Why⁴¹⁰⁰ is¹⁹⁶¹ my pain³⁵¹¹ perpetual,⁵³³¹ and my wound⁴³⁴⁷ incurable,⁶⁰⁵ which refuseth³⁹⁸⁵ to be healed?⁷⁴⁹⁵ wilt thou be altogether^{1961 1961} unto me as³⁶⁴⁴ a liar,³⁹¹ and as waters⁴³²⁵ that fail?^{3808 539}

19  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ If⁵¹⁸ thou return,⁷⁷²⁵ then will I bring thee again,⁷⁷²⁵ and thou shalt stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me: and if⁵¹⁸ thou take forth³³¹⁸ the precious³³⁶⁸ from the vile,^{4480 2151} thou shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ as my mouth:⁶³¹⁰ let them return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee; but return⁷⁷²⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them.

20  And I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ thee unto this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ a fenced¹²¹⁹ brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ wall:²³⁴⁶ and they shall fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁴¹³ thee, but they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prevail³²⁰¹ against thee: for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ am with⁸⁵⁴ thee to save³⁴⁶⁷ thee and to deliver⁵³³⁷ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

21  And I will deliver⁵³³⁷ thee out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the wicked,⁷⁴⁵¹ and I will redeem⁶²⁹⁹ thee out of the hand^{4480 3709} of the terrible.⁶¹⁸⁴

Jeremiah 16

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ also unto⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ take³⁹⁴⁷ thee a wife,⁸⁰² neither³⁸⁰⁸ shalt thou have¹⁹⁶¹ sons¹¹²¹ or daughters¹³²³ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the sons¹¹²¹ and concerning⁵⁹²¹ the daughters¹³²³ that are born³²⁰⁹ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and concerning⁵⁹²¹ their mothers⁵¹⁷ that bore³²⁰⁵ them, and concerning⁵⁹²¹ their fathers¹ that begot³²⁰⁵ them in this²⁰⁸⁸ land;⁷⁷⁶

4  They shall die⁴¹⁹¹ of grievous⁸⁴⁶³ deaths;⁴⁴⁶³ they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be lamented;⁵⁵⁹⁴ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall they be buried;⁶⁹¹² but they shall be as dung¹⁸²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth:¹²⁷ and they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ consumed³⁶¹⁵ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and by famine;⁷⁴⁵⁸ and their carcasses⁵⁰³⁸ shall be meat³⁹⁷⁸ for the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and for the beasts⁹²⁹ of the earth.⁷⁷⁶

5  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Enter⁹³⁵ not⁴⁰⁸ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of mourning,⁴⁷⁹⁸ neither⁴⁰⁸ go¹⁹⁸⁰ to lament⁵⁵⁹⁴ nor⁴⁰⁸ bemoan⁵¹¹⁰ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ I have taken away^{622 853} my peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ from^{4480 854} this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ even ⁸⁵³ lovingkindness²⁶¹⁷ and mercies.⁷³⁵⁶

6  Both the great¹⁴¹⁹ and the small⁶⁹⁹⁶ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ in this²⁰⁶³ land:⁷⁷⁶ they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be buried,⁶⁹¹² neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall men lament⁵⁵⁹⁴ for them: nor³⁸⁰⁸ cut themselves,¹⁴¹³ nor³⁸⁰⁸ make themselves bald⁷¹³⁹ for them:

7  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall men tear⁶⁵³⁶ themselves for them in⁵⁹²¹ mourning,⁶⁰ to comfort⁵¹⁶² them for⁵⁹²¹ the dead;⁴¹⁹¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall men give them the cup³⁵⁶³ of consolation⁸⁵⁷⁵ to drink⁸²⁴⁸ for⁵⁹²¹ their father¹ or for⁵⁹²¹ their mother.⁵¹⁷

8  Thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ also go⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of feasting,⁴⁹⁶⁰ to sit³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ them to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink.⁸³⁵⁴

9  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will cause to cease⁷⁶⁷³ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ place⁴⁷²⁵ in your eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and in your days,³¹¹⁷ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of mirth,⁸³⁴² and the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of gladness,⁸⁰⁵⁷ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the bridegroom,²⁸⁶⁰ and the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the bride.³⁶¹⁸

10  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt show⁵⁰⁴⁶ this²⁰⁸⁸ people^{5971 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and they shall say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee, Wherefore^{5921 4100} hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ pronounced^{1696 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ great¹⁴¹⁹ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ us? or what⁴¹⁰⁰ is our iniquity?⁵⁷⁷¹ or what⁴¹⁰⁰ is our sin²⁴⁰³ that⁸³⁴ we have committed²³⁹⁸ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God?⁴³⁰

11  Then shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Because^{5921 834} your fathers¹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and have walked¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and have served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them, and have worshiped⁷⁸¹² them, and have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and have not³⁸⁰⁸ kept⁸¹⁰⁴ my law;⁸⁴⁵¹

12  And ye⁸⁵⁹ have done⁶²¹³ worse⁷⁴⁸⁹ than your fathers;^{4480 1} for, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ ye walk¹⁹⁸⁰ every one³⁷⁶ after³¹⁰ the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of his evil⁷⁴⁵¹ heart,³⁸²⁰ that they may not¹¹¹⁵ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me:

13  Therefore will I cast²⁹⁰⁴ you out of^{4480 5921} this²⁰⁶³ land⁷⁷⁶ into⁵⁹²¹ a land⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ ye know³⁰⁴⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither ye⁸⁵⁹ nor your fathers;¹ and there⁸⁰³³ shall ye serve^{5647 853} other³¹² gods⁴³⁰ day³¹¹⁹ and night;³⁹¹⁵ where⁸³⁴ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ show⁵⁴¹⁴ you favor.²⁵⁹⁴

14  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that it shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ be said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ brought up^{5927 853} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴

15  But,^{3588 518} The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ brought up^{5927 853} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from the land^{4480 776} of the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and from all^{4480 3605} the lands⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} he had driven⁵⁰⁸⁰ them: and I will bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ into⁵⁹²¹ their land¹²⁷ that⁸³⁴ I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers.¹

16  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will send⁷⁹⁷¹ for many⁷²²⁷ fishers,¹⁷⁷¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and they shall fish¹⁷⁷⁰ them; and after^{310 3651} will I send⁷⁹⁷¹ for many⁷²²⁷ hunters,⁶⁷¹⁹ and they shall hunt⁶⁶⁷⁹ them from^{4480 5921} every³⁶⁰⁵ mountain,²⁰²² and from^{4480 5921} every³⁶⁰⁵ hill,¹³⁸⁹ and out of the holes^{4480 5357} of the rocks.⁵⁵⁵³

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ their ways:¹⁸⁷⁰ they are not³⁸⁰⁸ hid⁵⁶⁴¹ from my face,^{4480 6440} neither³⁸⁰⁸ is their iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ hid⁶⁸⁴⁵ from^{4480 5048} mine eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

18  And first⁷²²³ I will recompense⁷⁹⁹⁹ their iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ and their sin²⁴⁰³ double;⁴⁹³² because⁵⁹²¹ they have defiled^{2490 853} my land,⁷⁷⁶ they have filled^{4390 853} mine inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ with the carcasses⁵⁰³⁸ of their detestable⁸²⁵¹ and abominable things.⁸⁴⁴¹

19  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ my strength,⁵⁷⁹⁷ and my fortress,⁴⁵⁸¹ and my refuge⁴⁴⁹⁸ in the day³¹¹⁷ of affliction,⁶⁸⁶⁹ the Gentiles¹⁴⁷¹ shall come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee from the ends^{4480 657} of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ our fathers¹ have inherited⁵¹⁵⁷ lies,⁸²⁶⁷ vanity,¹⁸⁹² and things wherein there is no³⁶⁹ profit.³²⁷⁶

20  Shall a man¹²⁰ make⁶²¹³ gods⁴³⁰ unto himself, and they¹⁹⁹² are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods?⁴³⁰

21  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will this²⁰⁶³ once⁶⁴⁷¹ cause them to know,³⁰⁴⁵ I will cause them to know^{3045 853} mine hand³⁰²⁷ and my might;¹³⁶⁹ and they shall know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ my name⁸⁰³⁴ is The LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

1  The sin²⁴⁰³ of Judah³⁰⁶³ is written³⁷⁸⁹ with a pen⁵⁸⁴² of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and with the point⁶⁸⁵⁶ of a diamond:⁸⁰⁶⁸ it is graven²⁷⁹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the table³⁸⁷¹ of their heart,³⁸²⁰ and upon the horns⁷¹⁶¹ of your altars;⁴¹⁹⁶

2  Whilst their children¹¹²¹ remember²¹⁴² their altars⁴¹⁹⁶ and their groves⁸⁴² by⁵⁹²¹ the green⁷⁴⁸⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ the high¹³⁶⁴ hills.¹³⁸⁹

3  O my mountain²⁰⁴² in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thy substance²⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy treasures²¹⁴ to the spoil,⁹⁵⁷ and thy high places¹¹¹⁶ for sin,²⁴⁰³ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ thy borders.¹³⁶⁶

4  And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue⁸⁰⁵⁸ from thine heritage^{4480 5159} that⁸³⁴ I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ thee; and I will cause thee to serve^{5647 853} thine enemies³⁴¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not:³⁸⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye have kindled⁶⁹¹⁹ a fire⁷⁸⁴ in mine anger,⁶³⁹ which shall burn³³⁴⁴ forever.^{5704 5769}

5  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Cursed⁷⁷⁹ be the man¹³⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ trusteth⁹⁸² in man,¹²⁰ and maketh⁷⁷⁶⁰ flesh¹³²⁰ his arm,²²²⁰ and whose heart³⁸²⁰ departeth⁵⁴⁹³ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  For he shall be¹⁹⁶¹ like the heath⁶¹⁷⁶ in the desert,⁶¹⁶⁰ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ when³⁵⁸⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ cometh;⁹³⁵ but shall inhabit⁷⁹³¹ the parched places²⁷⁸⁸ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ in a salt⁴⁴²⁰ land⁷⁷⁶ and not³⁸⁰⁸ inhabited.³⁴²⁷

7  Blessed¹²⁸⁸ is the man¹³⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ trusteth⁹⁸² in the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and whose hope⁴⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is.¹⁹⁶¹

8  For he shall be¹⁹⁶¹ as a tree⁶⁰⁸⁶ planted⁸³⁶² by⁵⁹²¹ the waters,⁴³²⁵ and that spreadeth out⁷⁹⁷¹ her roots⁸³²⁸ by⁵⁹²¹ the river,³¹⁰⁵ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ when³⁵⁸⁸ heat²⁵²⁷ cometh,⁹³⁵ but her leaf⁵⁹²⁹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ green;⁷⁴⁸⁸ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be careful¹⁶⁷² in the year⁸¹⁴¹ of drought,¹²²⁶ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall cease⁴¹⁸⁵ from yielding^{4480 6213} fruit.⁶⁵²⁹

9  The heart³⁸²⁰ is deceitful⁶¹²¹ above all^{4480 3605} things, and desperately wicked:⁶⁰⁵ who⁴³¹⁰ can know³⁰⁴⁵ it?

10  I⁵⁸⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ search²⁷¹³ the heart,³⁸²⁰ I try⁹⁷⁴ the reins,³⁶²⁹ even to give⁵⁴¹⁴ every man³⁷⁶ according to his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and according to the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of his doings.⁴⁶¹¹

11  As the partridge⁷¹²⁴ sitteth¹⁷¹⁶ on eggs, and hatcheth³²⁰⁵ them not;³⁸⁰⁸ so he that getteth⁶²¹³ riches,⁶²³⁹ and not³⁸⁰⁸ by right,⁴⁹⁴¹ shall leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ them in the midst²⁶⁷⁷ of his days,³¹¹⁷ and at his end³¹⁹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ a fool.⁵⁰³⁶

12  A glorious³⁵¹⁹ high⁴⁷⁹¹ throne³⁶⁷⁸ from the beginning^{4480 7223} is the place⁴⁷²⁵ of our sanctuary.⁴⁷²⁰

13  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the hope⁴⁷²³ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ that forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ thee shall be ashamed,⁹⁵⁴ and they that depart from³²⁴⁹ me shall be written³⁷⁸⁹ in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the fountain⁴⁷²⁶ of living²⁴¹⁶ waters.⁴³²⁵

14  Heal⁷⁴⁹⁵ me, O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and I shall be healed;⁷⁴⁹⁵ save³⁴⁶⁷ me, and I shall be saved:³⁴⁶⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art my praise.⁸⁴¹⁶

15  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they¹⁹⁹² say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Where³⁴⁶ is the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸ let it come⁹³⁵ now.⁴⁹⁹⁴

16  As for me, I⁵⁸⁹ have not³⁸⁰⁸ hastened²¹³ from being a pastor^{4480 7462} to follow³¹⁰ thee: neither³⁸⁰⁸ have I desired¹⁸³ the woeful⁶⁰⁵ day;³¹¹⁷ thou⁸⁵⁹ knowest:³⁰⁴⁵ that which came⁴¹⁶¹ out of⁶⁴⁴⁰ my lips⁸¹⁹³ was¹⁹⁶¹ right before^{5227 6440} thee.

17  Be¹⁹⁶¹ not⁴⁰⁸ a terror⁴²⁸⁸ unto me: thou⁸⁵⁹ art my hope⁴²⁶⁸ in the day³¹¹⁷ of evil.⁷⁴⁵¹

18  Let them be confounded⁹⁵⁴ that persecute⁷²⁹¹ me, but let not⁴⁰⁸ me⁵⁸⁹ be confounded:⁹⁵⁴ let them¹⁹⁹² be dismayed,²⁸⁶⁵ but let not⁴⁰⁸ me⁵⁸⁹ be dismayed:²⁸⁶⁵ bring⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ them the day³¹¹⁷ of evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and destroy⁷⁶⁶⁵ them with double⁴⁹³² destruction.⁷⁶⁷⁰

19  Thus³⁵⁴¹ said⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ me; Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ whereby⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ come in,⁹³⁵ and by the which⁸³⁴ they go out,³³¹⁸ and in all³⁶⁰⁵ the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹

20  And say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ ye kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that enter in⁹³⁵ by these⁴²⁸ gates:⁸¹⁷⁹

21  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ to yourselves,⁵³¹⁵ and bear⁵³⁷⁵ no⁴⁰⁸ burden⁴⁸⁵³ on the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day,³¹¹⁷ nor bring it in⁹³⁵ by the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹

22  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ carry forth³³¹⁸ a burden⁴⁸⁵³ out of your houses^{4480 1004} on the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day,³¹¹⁷ neither³⁸⁰⁸ do⁶²¹³ ye any³⁶⁰⁵ work,⁴³⁹⁹ but hallow⁶⁹⁴² ye ⁸⁵³ the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day,³¹¹⁷ as⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ your fathers.¹

23  But they obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ inclined^{5186 853} their ear,²⁴¹ but made ⁸⁵³ their neck⁶²⁰³ stiff,⁷¹⁸⁵ that they might not¹¹¹⁵ hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ nor¹¹¹⁵ receive³⁹⁴⁷ instruction.⁴¹⁴⁸

24  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ if⁵¹⁸ ye diligently hearken^{8085 8085} unto⁴¹³ me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to bring in⁹³⁵ no¹¹¹⁵ burden⁴⁸⁵³ through the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² on the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day,³¹¹⁷ but hallow^{6942 853} the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day,³¹¹⁷ to do⁶²¹³ no^{1115 3605} work⁴³⁹⁹ therein;

25  Then shall there enter⁹³⁵ into the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² kings⁴⁴²⁸ and princes⁸²⁶⁹ sitting³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of David,¹⁷³² riding⁷³⁹² in chariots⁷³⁹³ and on horses,⁵⁴⁸³ they,¹⁹⁹² and their princes,⁸²⁶⁹ the men³⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² shall remain³⁴²⁷ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

26  And they shall come⁹³⁵ from the cities^{4480 5892} of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and from the places about^{4480 5439} Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and from the land^{4480 776} of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the plain,⁸²¹⁹ and from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the mountains,²⁰²² and from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ bringing⁹³⁵ burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and sacrifices,²⁰⁷⁷ and meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and incense,³⁸²⁸ and bringing⁹³⁵ sacrifices of praise,⁸⁴²⁶ unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

27  But if⁵¹⁸ ye will not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me to hallow^{6942 853} the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day,³¹¹⁷ and not¹¹¹⁵ to bear⁵³⁷⁵ a burden,⁴⁸⁵³ even entering⁹³⁵ in at the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ on the sabbath⁷⁶⁷⁶ day;³¹¹⁷ then will I kindle³³⁴¹ a fire⁷⁸⁴ in the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ thereof, and it shall devour³⁹⁸ the palaces⁷⁵⁹ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and it shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be quenched.³⁵¹⁸

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and go down³³⁸¹ to the potter's³³³⁵ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and there⁸⁰³³ I will cause thee to hear^{8085 853} my words.¹⁶⁹⁷

3  Then I went down³³⁸¹ to the potter's³³³⁵ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he wrought⁶²¹³ a work⁴³⁹⁹ on⁵⁹²¹ the wheels.⁷⁰

4  And the vessel³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ he¹⁹³¹ made⁶²¹³ of clay²⁵⁶³ was marred⁷⁸⁴³ in the hand³⁰²⁷ of the potter:³³³⁵ so he made⁶²¹³ it again⁷⁷²⁵ another³¹² vessel,³⁶²⁷ as⁸³⁴ seemed⁵⁸⁶⁹ good³⁴⁷⁴ to the potter³³³⁵ to make⁶²¹³ it.

5  Then the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

6  O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ cannot^{3808 3201} I do⁶²¹³ with you as this²⁰⁸⁸ potter?³³³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ as the clay²⁵⁶³ is in the potter's³³³⁵ hand,³⁰²⁷ so³⁶⁵¹ are ye⁸⁵⁹ in mine hand,³⁰²⁷ O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

7  At what instant⁷²⁸¹ I shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ a nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and concerning⁵⁹²¹ a kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ to pluck up,⁵⁴²⁸ and to pull down,⁵⁴²² and to destroy⁶ it;

8  If that¹⁹³¹ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ against⁵⁹²¹ whom⁸³⁴ I have pronounced,¹⁶⁹⁶ turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their evil,^{4480 7451} I will repent⁵¹⁶² of⁵⁹²¹ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ I thought²⁸⁰³ to do⁶²¹³ unto them.

9  And at what instant⁷²⁸¹ I shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ a nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and concerning⁵⁹²¹ a kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ to build¹¹²⁹ and to plant⁵¹⁹³ it;

10  If it do⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in my sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that it obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ not¹¹¹⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ then I will repent⁵¹⁶² of⁵⁹²¹ the good,²⁸⁹⁶ wherewith⁸³⁴ I said⁵⁵⁹ I would benefit³¹⁹⁰ them.

11  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore go⁴⁹⁹⁴ to, speak⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the men³⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and to⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ frame³³³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ you, and devise²⁸⁰³ a device⁴²⁸⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ you: return⁷⁷²⁵ ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ every one³⁷⁶ from his evil⁷⁴⁵¹ way,^{4480 1870} and make your ways¹⁸⁷⁰ and your doings⁴⁶¹¹ good.³¹⁹⁰

12  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ There is no hope:²⁹⁷⁶ but³⁵⁸⁸ we will walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ our own devices,⁴²⁸⁴ and we will every one³⁷⁶ do⁶²¹³ the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of his evil⁷⁴⁵¹ heart.³⁸²⁰

13  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Ask⁷⁵⁹² ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ among the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ who⁴³¹⁰ hath heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ such⁴²⁸ things: the virgin¹³³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath done⁶²¹³ a very³⁹⁶⁶ horrible thing.⁸¹⁸⁶

14  Will a man leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ the snow⁷⁹⁵⁰ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ which cometh from the rock^{4480 6697} of the field?⁷⁷⁰⁴ or shall the cold⁷¹¹⁹ flowing⁵¹⁴⁰ waters⁴³²⁵ that come from another place²¹¹⁴ be forsaken?⁵⁴²⁸

15  Because³⁵⁸⁸ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ hath forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ me, they have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ to vanity,⁷⁷²³ and they have caused them to stumble³⁷⁸² in their ways¹⁸⁷⁰ from the ancient⁵⁷⁶⁹ paths,⁷⁶³⁵ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in paths,⁵⁴¹⁰ in a way¹⁸⁷⁰ not³⁸⁰⁸ cast up;⁵⁵⁴⁹

16  To make⁷⁷⁶⁰ their land⁷⁷⁶ desolate,⁸⁰⁴⁷ and a perpetual⁵⁷⁶⁹ hissing;⁸²⁹² every one³⁶⁰⁵ that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ thereby⁵⁹²¹ shall be astonished,⁸⁰⁷⁴ and wag⁵¹¹⁰ his head.⁷²¹⁸

17  I will scatter⁶³²⁷ them as with an east⁶⁹²¹ wind⁷³⁰⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy;³⁴¹ I will show⁷²⁰⁰ them the back,⁶²⁰³ and not³⁸⁰⁸ the face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ in the day³¹¹⁷ of their calamity.³⁴³

18  Then said⁵⁵⁹ they, Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us devise²⁸⁰³ devices⁴²⁸⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ Jeremiah;³⁴¹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ perish⁶ from the priest,^{4480 3548} nor counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ from the wise,^{4480 2450} nor the word¹⁶⁹⁷ from the prophet.^{4480 5030} Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us smite⁵²²¹ him with the tongue,³⁹⁵⁶ and let us not⁴⁰⁸ give heed⁷¹⁸¹ to⁴¹³ any³⁶⁰⁵ of his words.¹⁶⁹⁷

19  Give heed⁷¹⁸¹ to⁴¹³ me, O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ to the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of them that contend³⁴⁰¹ with me.

20  Shall evil⁷⁴⁵¹ be recompensed⁷⁹⁹⁹ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ good?²⁸⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they have digged³⁷³⁸ a pit⁷⁷⁴⁵ for my soul.⁵³¹⁵ Remember²¹⁴² that I stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ them, and to turn away^{7725 853} thy wrath²⁵³⁴ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ them.

21  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ deliver up^{5414 853} their children¹¹²¹ to the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and pour out⁵⁰⁶⁴ their blood by⁵⁹²¹ the force³⁰²⁷ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and let their wives⁸⁰² be¹⁹⁶¹ bereaved of their children,⁷⁹⁰⁹ and be widows;⁴⁹⁰ and let their men³⁷⁶ be¹⁹⁶¹ put²⁰²⁶ to death;⁴¹⁹⁴ let their young men⁹⁷⁰ be slain⁵²²¹ by the sword²⁷¹⁹ in battle.⁴⁴²¹

22  Let a cry²²⁰¹ be heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ from their houses,^{4480 1004} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt bring⁹³⁵ a troop¹⁴¹⁶ suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ they have digged³⁷³⁸ a pit⁷⁷⁴⁵ to take³⁹²⁰ me, and hid²⁹³⁴ snares⁶³⁴¹ for my feet.⁷²⁷²

23  Yet, LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ knowest^{3045 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ their counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ me to slay⁴¹⁹⁴ me: forgive³⁷²² not⁴⁰⁸ their iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ blot out⁴²²⁹ their sin²⁴⁰³ from thy sight,^{4480 6440} but let them be¹⁹⁶¹ overthrown³⁷⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee; deal⁶²¹³ thus with them in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of thine anger.⁶³⁹

1  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and get⁷⁰⁶⁹ a potter's³³³⁵ earthen²⁷⁸⁹ bottle,¹²²⁸ and take of the ancients^{4480 2205} of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and of the ancients^{4480 2205} of the priests;³⁵⁴⁸

2  And go forth³³¹⁸ unto⁴¹³ the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ which⁸³⁴ is by the entry⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the east²⁷⁷⁷ gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and proclaim⁷¹²¹ there^{8033 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I shall tell^{1696 413} thee,

3  And say,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ O kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ the which⁸³⁴ whosoever³⁶⁰⁵ heareth,⁸⁰⁸⁵ his ears²⁴¹ shall tingle.⁶⁷⁵⁰

4  Because^{3282 834} they have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and have estranged^{5234 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ in it unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ whom⁸³⁴ neither³⁸⁰⁸ they¹⁹⁹² nor their fathers¹ have known,³⁰⁴⁵ nor the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and have filled^{4390 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ place⁴⁷²⁵ with the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of innocents;⁵³⁵⁵

5  They have built¹¹²⁹ also ⁸⁵³ the high places¹¹¹⁶ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ to burn^{8313 853} their sons¹¹²¹ with fire⁷⁸⁴ for burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ unto Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ not,³⁸⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ it, neither³⁸⁰⁸ came⁵⁹²⁷ it into⁵⁹²¹ my mind:³⁸²⁰

6  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that this²⁰⁸⁸ place⁴⁷²⁵ shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ be called⁷¹²¹ Tophet,⁸⁶¹² nor The valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ but^{3588 518} The valley¹⁵¹⁶ of slaughter.²⁰²⁸

7  And I will make void^{1238 853} the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place;⁴⁷²⁵ and I will cause them to fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword²⁷¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ and by the hands³⁰²⁷ of them that seek¹²⁴⁵ their lives:⁵³¹⁵ and ⁸⁵³ their carcasses⁵⁰³⁸ will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ to be meat³⁹⁷⁸ for the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and for the beasts⁹²⁹ of the earth.⁷⁷⁶

8  And I will make^{7760 853} this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² desolate,⁸⁰⁴⁷ and a hissing;⁸³²² every one³⁶⁰⁵ that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ thereby⁵⁹²¹ shall be astonished⁸⁰⁷⁴ and hiss⁸³¹⁹ because⁵⁹²¹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the plagues⁴³⁴⁷ thereof.

9  And I will cause them to eat^{398 853} the flesh¹³²⁰ of their sons¹¹²¹ and the flesh¹³²⁰ of their daughters,¹³²³ and they shall eat³⁹⁸ every one³⁷⁶ the flesh¹³²⁰ of his friend⁷⁴⁵³ in the siege⁴⁶⁹² and straitness,⁴⁶⁸⁹ wherewith⁸³⁴ their enemies,³⁴¹ and they that seek¹²⁴⁵ their lives,⁵³¹⁵ shall straiten⁶⁶⁹³ them.

10  Then shalt thou break⁷⁶⁶⁵ the bottle¹²²⁸ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the men³⁷⁶ that go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ thee,

11  And shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts;⁶⁶³⁵ Even so³⁶⁰² will I break^{7665 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ and this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² as⁸³⁴ one breaketh^{7665 853} a potter's³³³⁵ vessel,³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ cannot^{3201 3808} be made whole⁷⁴⁹⁵ again:⁵⁷⁵⁰ and they shall bury⁶⁹¹² them in Tophet,⁸⁶¹² till there be no^{4480 369} place⁴⁷²⁵ to bury.⁶⁹¹²

12  Thus³⁶⁵¹ will I do⁶²¹³ unto this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof, and even make^{5414 853} this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² as Tophet:⁸⁶¹²

13  And the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ defiled²⁹³¹ as the place⁴⁷²⁵ of Tophet,⁸⁶¹² because of all³⁶⁰⁵ the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ whose⁸³⁴ roofs¹⁴⁰⁶ they have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and have poured out⁵²⁵⁸ drink offerings⁵²⁶² unto other³¹² gods.⁴³⁰

14  Then came⁹³⁵ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from Tophet,^{4480 8612} whither^{834 8033} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him to prophesy;⁵⁰¹² and he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the court²⁶⁹¹ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹

15  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² and upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ her towns^{5892 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ I have pronounced¹⁶⁹⁶ against⁵⁹²¹ it, because³⁵⁸⁸ they have hardened^{7185 853} their necks,⁶²⁰³ that they might not¹¹¹⁵ hear^{8085 853} my words.¹⁶⁹⁷

12  But, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ that triest⁹⁷⁴ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² and seest⁷²⁰⁰ the reins³⁶²⁹ and the heart,³⁸²⁰ let me see⁷²⁰⁰ thy vengeance⁵³⁶⁰ on⁴⁴⁸⁰ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee have I opened^{1540 853} my cause.⁷³⁷⁹

13  Sing⁷⁸⁹¹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ praise¹⁹⁸⁴ ye ⁸⁵³ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he hath delivered^{5337 853} the soul⁵³¹⁵ of the poor³⁴ from the hand^{4480 3027} of evildoers.⁷⁴⁸⁹

14  Cursed⁷⁷⁹ be the day³¹¹⁷ wherein⁸³⁴ I was born:³²⁰⁵ let not⁴⁰⁸ the day³¹¹⁷ wherein⁸³⁴ my mother⁵¹⁷ bore³²⁰⁵ me be¹⁹⁶¹ blessed.¹²⁸⁸

16  And let that¹⁹³¹ man³⁷⁶ be¹⁹⁶¹ as the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ overthrew,²⁰¹⁵ and repented⁵¹⁶² not:³⁸⁰⁸ and let him hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the cry²²⁰¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² and the shouting⁸⁶⁴³ at noontide;^{6256 6672}

17  Because⁸³⁴ he slew⁴¹⁹¹ me not³⁸⁰⁸ from the womb;^{4480 7358} or that my mother⁵¹⁷ might have been¹⁹⁶¹ my grave,⁶⁹¹³ and her womb⁷³⁵⁸ to be always⁵⁷⁶⁹ great²⁰³⁰ with me.

18  Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ came I forth³³¹⁸ out of the womb^{4480 7358} to see⁷²⁰⁰ labor⁵⁹⁹⁹ and sorrow,³⁰¹⁵ that my days³¹¹⁷ should be consumed³⁶¹⁵ with shame?¹³²²

1  Now Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Immer⁵⁶⁴ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ who¹⁹³¹ was also chief⁵⁰⁵⁷ governor⁶⁴⁹⁶ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that ⁸⁵³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ prophesied^{5012 853} these⁴²⁸ things.¹⁶⁹⁷

2  Then Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ smote^{5221 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him in⁵⁹²¹ the stocks⁴¹¹⁵ that⁸³⁴ were in the high⁵⁹⁴⁵ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ which⁸³⁴ was by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ on the morrow,^{4480 4283} that Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ brought forth^{3318 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the stocks.⁴¹¹⁵ Then said⁵⁵⁹ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ unto⁴¹³ him, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ called⁷¹²¹ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ Pashur,⁶⁵⁸³ but^{3588 518} Magor-missabib.⁴⁰³⁶

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ thee a terror⁴⁰³² to thyself, and to all³⁶⁰⁵ thy friends:¹⁵⁷ and they shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword²⁷¹⁹ of their enemies,³⁴¹ and thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall behold⁷²⁰⁰ it: and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and he shall carry them captive¹⁵⁴⁰ into Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and shall slay⁵²²¹ them with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

5  Moreover I will deliver^{5414 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the strength²⁶³³ of this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² and all³⁶⁰⁵ the labors³⁰¹⁸ thereof, and all³⁶⁰⁵ the precious things³³⁶⁶ thereof, and all³⁶⁰⁵ the treasures²¹⁴ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies,³⁴¹ which shall spoil⁹⁶² them, and take³⁹⁴⁷ them, and carry⁹³⁵ them to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

6  And thou,⁸⁵⁹ Pashur,⁶⁵⁸³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that dwell³⁴²⁷ in thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ into captivity:⁷⁶²⁸ and thou shalt come⁹³⁵ to Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and there⁸⁰³³ thou shalt die,⁴¹⁹¹ and shalt be buried⁶⁹¹² there,⁸⁰³³ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy friends,¹⁵⁷ to whom⁸³⁴ thou hast prophesied⁵⁰¹² lies.⁸²⁶⁷

7  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou hast deceived⁶⁶⁰¹ me, and I was deceived:⁶⁶⁰¹ thou art stronger²³⁸⁸ than I, and hast prevailed:³²⁰¹ I am¹⁹⁶¹ in derision⁷⁸¹⁴ daily,^{3605 3117} every one³⁶⁰⁵ mocketh³⁹³² me.

8  For³⁵⁸⁸ since^{4480 1767} I spoke,¹⁶⁹⁶ I cried out,²¹⁹⁹ I cried⁷¹²¹ violence²⁵⁵⁵ and spoil;⁷⁷⁰¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was made¹⁹⁶¹ a reproach²⁷⁸¹ unto me, and a derision,⁷⁰⁴⁷ daily.^{3605 3117}

9  Then I said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ make mention²¹⁴² of him, nor³⁸⁰⁸ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ any more⁵⁷⁵⁰ in his name.⁸⁰³⁴ But his word was¹⁹⁶¹ in mine heart³⁸²⁰ as a burning¹¹⁹⁷ fire⁷⁸⁴ shut up⁶¹¹³ in my bones,⁶¹⁰⁶ and I was weary³⁸¹¹ with forbearing,³⁵⁵⁷ and I could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stay.

10  For³⁵⁸⁸ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the defaming¹⁶⁸¹ of many,⁷²²⁷ fear⁴⁰³² on every side.^{4480 5439} Report,⁵⁰⁴⁶ say they, and we will report⁵⁰⁴⁶ it. All³⁶⁰⁵ my familiars^{582 7965} watched⁸¹⁰⁴ for my halting,⁶⁷⁶¹ saying, Peradventure¹⁹⁴ he will be enticed,⁶⁶⁰¹ and we shall prevail³²⁰¹ against him, and we shall take³⁹⁴⁷ our revenge⁵³⁶⁰ on⁴⁴⁸⁰ him.

11  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁸⁵⁴ me as a mighty¹³⁶⁸ terrible one:⁶¹⁸⁴ therefore^{5921 3651} my persecutors⁷²⁹¹ shall stumble,³⁷⁸² and they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prevail:³²⁰¹ they shall be greatly³⁹⁶⁶ ashamed;⁹⁵⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper:⁷⁹¹⁹ their everlasting⁵⁷⁶⁹ confusion³⁶³⁹ shall never³⁸⁰⁸ be forgotten.⁷⁹¹¹

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when king⁴⁴²⁸ Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ him ⁸⁵³ Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Melchiah,⁴⁴⁴¹ and Zephaniah⁶⁸⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹
